Hey guys,

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional v8.1.1 and it functions properly until I install logitech setpoint software and drivers for my mouse. After installing the setpoint software and drivers and I try to open a pdf file, the pdf doesnt resize properly.

Here are some images of what I'm talking about:

I checked over at the adobe forums and people do have the problem

Can anyone help me out with this?

What do you use Acrobat Professional for exactly? In my expierce acrobat anything is a bloated crap pile. Foxit software, should have an pro version available so you can edit. read, create, etc. pdf files.

So that explains it... I started experiencing this same problem last week. I realize now that the new keyboard I got last week is to blame.

Turning on/off the index thingy when the window is maximized seems to solve the problem for me.

Some PDFs open with a "Bookmarks" column on the left, usually containing a table of contents. Exaggerated example

Try hitting F4 a couple of times.

What I wanna know is how a keyboard daemon is interfering with Acrobat and nothing else. Guesses anyone?

Ahh...thanks that worked !
I have no clue how setpoint is effecting Adobe Acrobat.....its really annoying..



The next problem I have is, when I click a pdf link in IE 7, and after I click continue to Vista's UAC, I get this error:

"There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again."

I hit ok in that window, and click continue to Vista's UAC, and it opens a blank Acrobat window...then another UAC window pops up and I click continue and it opens the pdf from the link in a different window.......How do I get pdfs to display in IE 7?

Tools/Manage Addons/Enable or Disable Addons

Make sure Adobe PDF Reader is enabled.

I got this to work for anyone interested....

I went to the folder where acrobat is installed by default for me it was:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat

and I right clicked on Acrobat.exe, went to compatiblility tab, and set the compatibility mode to WinXP SP2...and now it works in IE7...
