USERS OF ADOBE ACROBAT READER (version X) BE WARNED. |
This web page is being created on 5-11-2011 responsive to my attempt to interface with the Adobe web site. Leaving feedback and requesting support and trouble-shooting information on the official Adobe web site for free products (Adobe Reader) is far too difficult. My recent update from Adobe Reader Version 9.4 to X (version 10.0.01) compromised my computer's ability to print a file onto my hard drive though a dedicated pdf file printer ( e.g. abxpdf available from the www.USPTO.gov web site). Also, once a first pdf file is loaded in Adobe Reader 10 (AKA Adobe Reader X), a second pdf file does not load for about 1+ minutes (I assume some process must time-out first). Subsequent to the upgrade, printing from a document in a WordProcessor to the abxpdf pdf document printer caused my WordProcessor to "hang" in Windows XP, SP3.

5-11-2011 PM After uninstalling the Adobe Air component, the printer-hanging issue appears to have vanished. However, the lag-time to load a second pdf file remains. I typically launch each pdf file by double-clicking the file name in Windows Explorer. |
5-12-2011 AM Nope, still have a problem printing to abxpdf when Adobe Reader X is running. After quitting the WordProcesser, and quitting Adobe Reader X; re-launched WordProcesser (without rebooting) and was able to print to the pdf printer and make a pdf file on my hard drive. |
Hopefully, this web page will be of some use to others. If you have solved the problems I am experiencing, please let me know. bct@diviti.com Use a descriptive subject, such as Adobe Reader X solution, to avoid being SPAM filtered. |
5-25-11 Perhaps the print queue has become corrupted due to Adobe Reader X. It has been determined that if the network-connected print server is off-line, the word processing software hangs up when executing a print command. Rebooting the computer is not required to fix the problem. Once the print server is booted, restarting the word processing software is sufficient to make a printout. | USERS OF ADOBE ACROBAT READER BE WARNED. |
