Dear all,

Here's what happened:

I opened an html file in Writer, then hit the PDF button. Writer nicely exported the file in PDF format to my Windows XP desktop but messed up something with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Now when I try to open a PDF file in Acrobat it sends me this error message:

There was an error while loading the plug-in ETpdfSec.api. The plug-in failed to initialize.

The instruction at "0x2d828acd" referenced memory at "0x00000008". The memory could not be "read".

I uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat without a glitch but the problem persist. Re-installing Windows XP is not an option right now and I can't live without Acrobat Reader. If you know anything about ETpdfSec.api or how Writer could cause damage to it, please advise.

Thanks,

Edith

Hello Edith

This is very strange.

On neither of my computers do I have an Acrobat Plug-In called
ETpdfSec.api. (They both have lots of other Acrobat Plug-Ins.) Do a search in your plug-ins folder (on my computer it is c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader\plug_ins) and see whether it is actually there.

For what it is worth, the file in question does not exist anywhere in my XP SP2 system with Adobe Reader 7.0.5 installed.

From Edith's use of "Acrobat Reader", is it possibly an out of date (very) version of the Reader? The name was changed by Adobe to "Adobe Reader" some time ago and maybe installing the current version will help to resolve the problem.
