Adobe Reader 9 automatically closes

Whenever I open Adobe Reader 9.0, whether directly from the shortcut or through opening a pdf document, the program will close after approximately 10-20 seconds, with the usual "Adobe Reader 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and the choice to send an error report. I tried re-installing (the download is directly from this website) and restarting computer, but neither worked. One thing that I noticed is that the installation bar won't run to 100%, despite the fact that all steps have been completed. It will freeze at 99.90%, with the "resume" button grayed out, leaving me with either "cancel" or "pause" choices. I had no choice but to click "cancel".
Thanks for any help.

Thank you, I have received an email answer to this query, switching browser has solved the problem.

  • Does Adobe Reader Disable window.close()?

    Help! I open a window using
    onclick='javascript:MyWindow=window.open("Meeting.pdf")'
    But the following fails when trying to automatically close that window
      <body onunload="MyWindow.close()">
    This same code works fine when MyWindow does not have a PDF file (for instance, onclick='javascript:MyWindow=window.open("Picture.jpg")' works fine).
    Almost seems as if Adobe Reader is disabling .close
    Any thoughts?

    Please repost in the Acrobat Scripting forum.

  • How do I access the End User Licensing Agreement? I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I need to launch Adobe Reader, accept and close and reopen. Trouble is I can't get to an icon for file to launch. I am working on a Mac and have installed Mac

    I am using a Mac and have installed Adobe Reader for Mac, latest version. I cannot access the End User Licensing Agreement. I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I must launch Adobe, check that I agree, close and reopen. The problem is I can't find any way to launch Adobe because it appears nowhere on my launch pad, nor in my document files or on the control panel. Because of this, I cannot print bank statements nor can I get into my insurance companies billing department to make a payment. HELP!

    How about in your Applications folder?

  • Is there any way to find text highlighted in adobe reader and automatically copy it to comment boxes?

    If I use a pdf highlighted in Adobe Reader (metro) in another PDF reading program, one with functionality to retrieve and list various annotations on the PDF, it simply finds "sticky note" as Adobe Reader highlights the text but fails to copy and paste it into a 'highlight' comment box. I intend to use another program with this feature automatic, from this point forward, but is there any way I can retroactively and automatically do this same task to all the other work I've done with Adobe Reader? It is, as I understand, a standard function of PDF annotation.
    Of course, ideally, I would also like this to be automatic in the future, as the Adobe Reader Metro App is generally well-designed, touch-interface wise. But this lacking feature makes finding my comments a much greater hassle than it should be (as I can see where I highlighted, but not what without traveling directly to the page)
    Also on a side note, I apparently can't delete a sticky note from within the app, what the hell

    You cannot enforce something like that. You have some options when the field is set up to allow rich text formatting, but the user can always change it.

  • Adobe Reader won't close

    When I close PDF files, Adober Reader continues to run in the background and slows down my computer. I have to go into Task Manager and close Adobe Reader each time. Any suggestions?

    I am having this same issue, which is frustrating.  How does Adobe not have weekend tech support?  I keep getting told to just "open the program"  well, i have tried to open it, and it doesnt show as downloaded, so i will go to download it, and it says "you already have this installed"... well okay, then i go to find it, and it doesnt exist anywhere on my computer and tells me to download it again, and annoying triangle i keep going in.

    Need root cause and  please suggest solution ?

    Solved it!
    1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
    2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
    3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
    4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
    5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
    6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
    Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
    I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold,  it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows 7, Adobe reader starts but closes right away?

    Is there a sulotion for this, i am not able to view any of the saved files I have on my computer. When i click on the acrobat file it starts to open but closes right away. I am running windows 7 and can't find any help online. It was working just fine before and i had no troubles up to this point, But i went to open a file today and started having this problem.

    The End User License Agreement (eula) tends to "hang" in Windows 7 and it doesn't open as it should. This keeps Reader from opening after an update.
    Go to: C/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader    (it may be in Program Files (X86) if your OS is 64 bit)
    Double click the eula.exe file and accept the license agreement. Reader should open after that.

  • Can I convert a file into a PDF in Adobe Reader and automatically attach it in the Reader?

    I understand that I can merge files online.  What I'd like to do is have my original PDF open and convert an Excel sheet into a PDF that is attached to the original PDF within Reader.  Being able to do all of this in one place is the main reason I'm subscribing.

    HI Elizabeth,
    Yes, you are correct that merging can only happen online however if you are trying to achieve all the three task togather then i would recommend you to purchase the complete PDF solution Acrobat Professional.
    You can achieve this task with the feature in Acrobat called as Action Wizard which create a batch sequence of all the three process. You just need to run the process and your job is done.
    For more information:

    unfortunately, with Adobe Reader it is not possible.
    Let me know if you have any other question.

  • When I print doc in Adobe Reader, it automatically scrolls down several inches before starting to print text.  Therefore text runs off bottom of page.  Have tried all different settings and nothing works.  Help!!!!!

    When I print in Adobe Reader, the paper scrolls down several inches before the text begins therefore running off the page.  I have tried numerous settings and cannot fix problem.  Help!!!

    I have finally cracked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The issue is definitely with Java Sun. "Uneven character spacing when printing JTextComponent"
    It is raised on the http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6488219
    And currently in OPEN state, and raised on 31 Oct 2006 and mentions it was caused by fix 4352983.
    So where do we go from here. It's not good because I have tried all later version of the JVM and the issue is still there.
    Why? Because it hasn't been fixed yet. Read the bug report above, as it gives more insight -- and mentions the workaround is NOT good for existing code.
    So the way forward is to use an earlier version of the JVM 5.
    I download the JVM version 1.5.0 (starting version) and works Ok... I would probably think version prior to 4352983 would be Ok too.
    Please vote for this.... We have a workaround (use older version of the JVM).
    So I am very happy.

  • Adobe Reader Version XI closes due to "problem" a few seconds after opening

    I've been reinstalling software after replacing a bad hard drive.  Downloading Adobe's latest version XI and installed but couldn't get it to work. The screen fades after a few seconds of opening, and an error message box pops up announcing that the program has experienced a "problem" and must close, and that Windows is looking for a solution and will notify me if one is found....  I installed/uninstalled several times, even tried to repair, to no avail.  Finally downloaded old version X, and it's working like a charm.  Is anyone else exeriencing this with the new XI version?

    If you have a packet sniffing tool like Fiddler or Wireshark, could just see if Reader is trying to access something on network?
