Adobe Reader XI (Version 11.0) Claim printing issue: 12/27/2012
This technical bulletin describes a problem printing claims in PC-ACE Pro32 using the image overlay (Adobe Reader) method. A change made in the recently released Adobe Reader XI (Version 11.0) is responsible for this problem.
Impacted Configurations: The problem described in this technical bulletin impacts customers who print claims using the image overlay method, and who have Adobe Reader XI (Version 11.0) or later installed.
Problem Description/Symptoms: The user has recently installed or upgraded to Adobe Reader XI (version 11.0) or a later version. Adobe Reader XI now recognizes the claim form PDF file as "modified" when previewing claims in PC-ACE Pro32 using the image overlay method, and subsequently prompts the user to save the changes when closing Adobe Reader. This prompt is unnecessary and may be confusing to the user.
Problem Resolution: PC-ACE Pro32 users experiencing this symptom should visit the following page on the Soft Ware Designer website...

...and scroll down to the section titled "Problem #3 - Adobe Reader Prompts To Save Changes When Exiting." They should download and run the patch provided in this section to eliminate the unnecessary Adobe Reader prompt.
