Adobe Reader 9 incompatible with keynote pdf export files

Dear all
I've been creating lectures using keynote for quite a while and it has been working fine. I'm relying on using pdf export for my students to print out my lecture notes.
However, since Adobe Reader 9.0, my exported pdf files do not appear right on Adobe -- they look perfect using a pdf viewer but not with Adobe Reader (they seem fine with Adobe 7 !!)
It's a pretty bad situation, IT services are of no help and don't know why this happens (and are unable to provide another pdf viewer for University computers). I might have to start using a different programme which I really don't want to do.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I can export as ppt (loosing some of the nice layout) and quicktime but that's not really a proper alternative.
Btw it was tried out on a number of different University computers (and sometimes, the disappeared text, appears when highlighting the document)
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

I just DL'd the newest iWork, with KN 5.0.5, and have Reader 9.4.1. I exported a few of my KN presentations to pdf, and the result was fine with both Preview and Adobe Reader (but then, I had no problem before the update, either). So whatever the problem is, it's not universal.
But I might still suggest a possible solution for those who are experiencing the problem (which I can't test conclusively, since I don't have it): Once the KN has been exported to pdf, open the pdf file with GraphicConverter, and then save it as pdf (to make sure I was saving a whole new file, and wanting to test it against the original version, I changed its name a bit). For me, again, both Preview and Reader open the new pdf file fine. But my theory is that saving with GC might possibly alter the file sufficiently to make it good for Reader, when it wasn't before.

Adobe Reader incompatible with Windows Internet Explorer 9

I recently installed the update for Windows Internet Eexplorer 9 on my laptop (Vista Home Premium) and have installed the latest Adobe Reader as well.
After installing Windows IE 9 I found that I was not able to view any letters etc online where Adobe Reader was required.
I tried all the suggestions in the associated help screen to no avail, so I finally 'uninstalled' the Windows I E 9 update and magically I was once again able to view online letters etc.
I am wondering why the latest Adobe Reader is incompatible with Windows I E 9?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe IE9 is not supported with Reader9, but everything should work as usual. I have both on my machine and am able to use them without any problem.
Try repairing Reader from Programs in Control Panel.
Kindly refer to System Requirement section in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_9.5.pdf

Adobe reader incompatible with system

When I try to open a document with Adobe Reader i get a message that says it is incompatible with my system. My system is Windows 7. How can i fix this?

start here (and untick mcafee unless you're certain you want it), http://get2.adobe.com/reader/
that link should display your os and language and offer a compatible version.

Can I hide the Adobe Reader panel with "Export, Create and Edit PDF and Send and Store Files"? I don't use it and it takes up space

If you just mean, can I close it, sure. In Reader XI click the Tools button to close or reopen it.

Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

Cannot open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF file

When I try to open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF file, it says that it "cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?" When I choose open with Protected Mode disabled, it then displays "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.” Please help. Thank you. All PDF’s and adobe reader use to work on my computer. Thank you. When I try troubleshooting the problem, “incompatible application” is listed under the troubleshooting report.

Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

Are these local or online documents? If online, in what browser? If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

Using Maverick, error message: Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Receiving error message using current Maverick version: "Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).". Is fix the same as on previous OS versions?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

I DL ver 9,10,11 of Free Adobe Reader - cannot open any PDF file.

I get an error message "The instructions at xxxx referenced memory at xxxx. The memory could not be written." What is wrong?

tI did as you instructed and got no good results. I even restored my Adobe files from several weeks ago from Carbonite and could not load Adobe REader nor open any PDF file that I was previously able to open.
When I try to open a PDF file, I get a web page that has two panes. One pane on the left has a red box area with some options. The pane on the right is grey and has some options. The web page disappears after about 5 seconds so I can't read it all.
I tried opening three files after reinstalling Adobe Reader and after restoring my Adobe files. One folder that I restored as "Cache" and had a file inside called "AcrobatFnt11 then another file called AdobeCMapFnt11 and the other file called AdobeSysFnt11.
I'm extremely anxious to be able to open and load all my PDF files like I was able to for years before.
Thank you.

Hi kevinv1987,
It doesn't sound like the PDF was password protected (or Adobe Reader would prompt you for a password). Instead, it sounds like that file may be marked locked by your operating system. Are you on Mac OS or Windows? In either case, here are instructions for removing the lock icon from the file:
Remove the Lock Icon from a Folder in Windows 7 (check Microsoft's website if you have a different version of Windows)
On Mac OS, select the file in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info. Then, just deselect the Lock checkbox.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
please help!

This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).
