PDF Links will hang Acrobat process
12/02/09 at 09:48:28
 
Since the 9/16/09 Update, I have some users whose Acrobat process will hang if they try to open a PDF link.  It's consistent per machine - works fine every time on my machine, but other users will hang every single time.  The version of Acrobat/Reader is across the board, anywhere from 6 to 9.  I think it has to do with whether a pdf launches within Internet Explorer (rather than Acrobat) - that's what seems to cause the hang.  
 
In Evo, the file association is set to "I".

I have seen this on one user PC - Acrobat Reader is 9.2 and it launches outside on it's own.  In this case, however, I think it may be (at times) the end user being a bit impatient, especially if there are a number of links and she is printing from Evo and has indicated to include printing linked documents.  It has to open the instance for each, including if there is also a word document.

In our case, it's always when the user launches the pdf from the camera icon.  Sometimes I've seen 2 or 3 instances of Acrobat.exe in Task Manager, hogging up 99% cpu.
 
That same link that hangs Acrobat in Evo will launch fine in DBA.

Interesting......I don't know if anyone gets hung up using the camera icon.  I'll have to ask around.  Mostly so far it's just when they print linked documents for a work order or something like that.
