Hi there
for some reason I can't read pdf documents any more with Adobe reader XI. Windows 8 x-64. The application just hangs --tried this on TWO different computers. Tried also different documents too.
Comes up with "Failed to connect to DDE server" whatever that is. Screen shot enclosed.
The documents read and print fine from my W2003 server VM so it's definitely a W8 problem. W2003 server is roughly equivalent to XP for code / version comparisons.
The Metro reader seems to be able to view the documents but that Bonkers application doesn't have any PRINT facilities.
I'm going to install FOXIT reader but Adobe seems to have gone a bit Bonkers with nthe latest version of the PDF reader.
Cheers
jimbo
