Problem with Acrobat Readme file
Posted: Fri Dec 06, 2013 12:39 am
I seem to be having a problem at install time with viewing pdf files where Acrobat Reader is the default pdf viewer.
If I specify a pdf file to be read at the end of the installation, Acrobat Reader is involked as a background process and does not actually display the pdf file. Similarly, if I launch my application at the end of the installation, it launches OK but it too cannot have pdf files read by Acrobat (again they appear as background processes).
If I clear those background processes (Task manager) or restart the pc, then when I restart the installed application (outside the installer), there is no problem launching Acrobat as an App that is viewing the pdf file.
If I install the app, close the installer, then launch the app, there is no problem.
Any ideas? I am running Acrobat Reader XI and there is sometime an error message about not locating a DDE server.
