Can’t use PDFaloud in Adobe Reader X

Problem

Using any of the following:

  • Read & Write 9 (Standard or Gold)
  • Read & Write 4 Gold for Mac

You are unable to use the PDFaloud toolbar in Adobe Reader X (10).

Solution

PC Users:
You can uninstall Adobe Reader X and install version 9. The installer for Adobe Reader 9 can be found on the Read & Write Install DVD in the /Support/Adobe Reader folder

An update is being worked on by Texthelp to fix this.

Mac Users:
Download the 4.0 (32) Update and install it.

  1. You can get around this by:

    Click on Edit -> Preferences -> General
    Then making sure that ‘Use only certified plugins’ is unchecked, and ‘Enable Protected Mode at startup’ is unchecked.
    Restart Adobe

    Then you should be able to see an ‘Extended’ menu option on the toolbar to the right of Tools. Click on this and you will find the PDF aloud features.

    Any further support can be found through Texthelp’s technical support.
