- Install the latest version (if available) and restart.
- Disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader X.

I had this sendkeys cancelled thing. When I heard it was something to do with Adobe Reader X, I went into that program and a box popped up suggesting how to fix this – and the suggestion worked.
In Adobe Reader X, go to Edit>Preferences>General and uncheck the “enable protected mode at Startup” box. This fixed the problem for me. I hope this helps.
Thanks a lot for this cue.
This is not caused by adobe acrobat its more complicated i have been trying to solve it for weeks with no success
Thanks for this, the problem was caused by Adobe Reader X, disabling the protected mode solved everything.
Disabling protected mode does not fix the problem in Adobe XI
Does not fix the problem Version 9 NA
