Adobe Issues
We are continuing to test and try to find the best setup to get Adobe to work on a consistent basis. As well as find the most efficient workarounds for when it still had problems from time to time.
There are 2 options that have made a positive impact for some users. Have FAST docs open in Adobe vs. in a browser window.
- This is helpful because you can open multiple FAST docs and keep them all open until you choose to close them
- If you get an error, you can “retry” and it generally recovers, reducing the number of times you have to close FAST or reboot
- To do this:
- Type “internet options” in your search bar and then click on the Internet Options

in Control Panel
-
Click on “Programs” and then “Manage add-ons”
Highlight Adobe PDF Reader, then click on Disable. Then click Close- Then click on Ok to get out of the Internet Options window Now when you open a PDF from FAST, it will open in Adobe.
IF you get an error, it will likely look like this:

And you can click on Retry and it will likely work the 2nd time around.
Open a PDF, minimize it, then the rest seem to open without issue
- If you prefer your FAST PDF’s to open in a browser window, you can reduce the number of errors that you get by opening a simple pdf, and then minimizing it.
- Then the PDF’s that you open after that seem to open without issue.
- Continue to leave that original pdf open
