Oddly enough, the situation seems to have corrected itself over the weekend. I will keep this open a little while longer before deciding that the issue resolved itself.

maybe you have some possible bad ram if the issue comes back again.. Maybe run a mem-test on your system.

Well the original issue hasn't come back, but now it's freezing when he tries to print a PDF. I'm thinking it could be a printer driver issue.

I would check your memory and run virus/maleware scans.

A repair of the installations resolved the issues as well as reinstalling print drivers.

Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I have an end user who is having a problem using Find (ctrl + F) within Adobe Acrobat and Reader. Anytime he tries to search a PDF for a word the program will find the first instance of the word, but if he clicks on the &quot;Next&quot; Arrow or &quot;Previous&quot; Arrow the program freezes and has to be killed in Task Manager. The same happens if he uses the &quot;Search&quot; feature as well.<br />
<br />
He is running Windows 7 64 bit, Acrobat 9.0 with full updates, and Reader X with full updates.<br />
<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Productivity software is application software dedicated to producing information, such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video. Most common programs and suites such as Microsoft Office and LibreOffice have their own topics. Office suites, which brought word processing, spreadsheet, and relational database programs to the desktop in the 1980s, are the core example of productivity software, but they can include communications software, personal information managers, groupware and log analysis software.
