Adobe reader not opening pls help

My reader will not open something about protected mode, now I select open in unprotected mode and then tells me that acrobat can not open. As far as I know I have done nothing new and it wroked a few days ago. I use this for school so I need help asap. Thank you

Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable Protected Mode (Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)).
If not, tell us your operating system and Reader version.

  • WHY WILL ADOBE READER NOT OPEN PDF FILES?

    I have just downloaded free Adobe Reader X. When I try to open a pdf file I immediately get a Microsfoft box saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"  I have Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced the problem and what did you do to fix the problem so pdf files open?  Setting in control panel is for al pdf's to be opened by Adobe Reader, and when I downloade, I briefly disabled my anti-virus software.  Really frustrating,  Can any one help?

    We saw the same symptoms as you describe.
    It turned out that the new sandbox feature in Reader X is not compatible with Re-Directed "Application Data" folders.
    Disabling the sandbox safety feature (via a special registry setting) appears to be a workaround, but somehow we now feel less safe.
    Folder redirection involves group policy as used in large corporations with IT teams to manage large numbers of PCs in companies.
    For example, in corporate environments, users My Documents and AppData folders are often re-directed at a secure server share, so that people's documents/photos/mp3s they save into my documents are secured on a server, instead of scattered about on various PCs.  Home users never use this technology.
    However, If you've got Adobe Reader X installed to a different DRIVE to the one where your APPDATA folder is, then you might get the same effect.
    I guess this could also happen to peole with Windows installed on their D: drives, and Adobe installed on the C: drive, or similar.

  • Adobe reader not opening from browser

    I want to contact Adobe and find out what I have to do to get PDF files on the internet to open in Adobe reader rather than on a browser page.  Where can I find an answer? Dale Kemper

  • Adobe Reader not opening file

    I have downloaded reader but it is not opening any files - I just get the File Downlaod box with th eGetting File Information message but  the PDF never actually appears.

    Try opening the following PDF: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf
    Also which browser and its version are you using?
    Also try to open a already downloaded PDF in browser by drag-dropping it into browser.

  • Adobe Reader not opening PDF Portfolio - Flash player error

    I have Acrobat 9 Standard installed on my PC and I created a PDF Portfolio. Acrobat Standard can open that Portfolio just fine.
    I also have Acrobat Reader installed (11.0.2).and have Adobe Flash Player (11.7.700.169) installed. Both Reader and Flash Player work fine independently on PDF or Flash content.
    However when I try to open the PDF portfolio with Reader, I get the following Error:
    :"To view the Flash technology in this FDF file; please install this version of Flash player that supports Adobe reader and Acrobat".
    The Dialog box with the message above has a [Proceed to download page] button (which does nothing but bring up Reader with a black page), a [Learn more] button (similar behavior), and a [Cancel] button.  Both Reader and Flash are the latest versions as of today (4/16/2013).
    Any help or insight with this is appreciated.
    Thanks !

  • Adobe reader not open the file immediately after saving it  with Microsoft Office

    I have an older version Adobe Reader 9, and worked fine until today. I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06).
    I have Window´s Office 2010 on my computer. When I save a document on *pdf file, Adobe starts automatically and open the document (Open file after publishing.) After the upgrade, documents are not open automatically and shows the next message:  "There was an error  during initialization. An internal error ocurrred." and  "There was an error opening this document. Access denied.". But if I try manually, files are open. How do I fix this problem.

    I'm having a similar issue.  The .pdf files open fine locally, but when I put them up online, they will not open and I get the same error message.  If I download and save the files, they show a 1KB file size instead of 168KB.
    Drive space is not an issue (looking at over 225GB of free space on the main drive).
    In searching on-line, the main cause I am finding is receiving the file via e-mail and a decoding issue.  This is not the case with these files as they were created on my machine and uploaded using Filezilla to the server.  I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0 on a windows box running Vista Ultimate.
    Any ideas on what would be causing this issue?

  • Adobe Reader not opening ezy TICKETS from Ticketek New Zealandfrom

    Adobe Reader is not opening files I have received from Ticketek NZ called ezy tickets.
    I have version Adobe Reader 11.0.0 on my IPAD which has IOS 5.1.1.  I get an error message saying that the file is not a valid PDF file.  This is very frustrating.

    Yes it does open on my windows lap top with adobe reader.  My son however can't open it on his IPAD 4 with IOS 6 with adobe reader.  Interestingly he has opened PDF ezy Tickets from TICKETEK previously with his adobe reader on his IPAD but he gets the same error message I get with this particular ezy Ticket I have received this week.

  • Adobe Reader not opening nor allowing PDF to open

    Hi there.
    I just downloaded Adobe Reader 11.0.06 to my mac. When I try to open the application nothing happens and when I try to read/download a PDF file from any given site it gives me the following message:
    ''Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.''
    As I am trying to work on my dissertation, this really kind of sucks.
    I have tried to re-install it etc but nothing happens
    Can anybody help?

    You need to do what the message says, that's all. You are in good company, several people a week are baffled by this message, something which honestly baffles me. Still, it's obviously bad design if it isn't intuitive.
    To launch an any app, just open a Finder window and look for Applications in the left hand column. Look in it and all your applications are there.
    Double click on Adobe Reader to launch it. If there is more than one shown, launch and quit each one in turn.

  • Adobe Reader not opening. what to do?

    My Adobe Reader stopped working.  I removed old versions of Adobe, installed the new version and nothing.  Cannot open file.  I then ran the repair instructions posted on your forum.  Nothing.  I tried the instruction to help window recognize the file. Nothing.  What is wrong with Adobe Reader?  I cannot even launch the newly installed application.  I am running Windows 7 OS.   Please HELP!

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Adobe Reader Not Opening pdf's

    I've got a new MacBook Air and have downloaded the latest Adobe Reader but can't get it to open documents from the Internet.  Already downloaded documents it'll open. I thought a Ghostery or MacAfee filter might be inhibiting it but I've disconnected both and there is no change.  Anyone know how I can overcome this?

    Try this ...
    Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go.
    If you see the:  AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
    Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.
