Adobe Reader 'not responding' after bringing up document

It works for about 10 seconds and then goes opaque. Nothing happens after that. It is a new laptop, using Windows 8. I tried the repair through the control panel but got an error message 'wsearch' will not stop running. The only thing I have done to this laptop is uninstall Norton and install AVG 2013. The adobe did not work before I messed with the antivirus programs. I need simple instructions!!! Any help would be appreciated!

I have this issue as well. Protectd mode is disabled.... and once I actually get the PDF open it disabloes the print spooler. I have to go into the settings and resart the spooler... but it will never print the file... keeps disabling. I can print any other file.... Word, Excel etc. Just not the PDF. Im running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit

Why is my adobe reader not responding then disappears

I have been having problems with the adobe reader XI. It will go to the download screen and then open the document. But when I try to print it it tells me not responding and then closes. really getting exasparted. This has been going on for two weeks. I have called my companies and they were looking into it but no luck. So I did what the site said and uninstalled it. then I reinstalled it as directed. Still won't work.

Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Adobe Reader not working after update to version XI

I have had Adbobe Reader installed on my PC for ages and have been using this to view my PDF files without any issues. However, Adobe Reader updated automatically to version XI a few days ago. Since then, I have been completely unable to open Adobe Reader at all. The screen does not load up fully with only the top menu bar visible and the remainder a blank grey screen with all menu options inactive or greyed out, and sometimes crashes and closes automatically after a few seconds. I am unable to view any PDF file, even those which I previous viewed with no issues. I have tried running the Adober Cleaner tool but this has not helped. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader numerous times with no success. I have also tried reinstalling previous versions of Adober Reader but have idential issues with these too. I have tried checking system compatability using the troubleshooter tool but this appears to be fine, and have also tried disactivating my AntiVirus/firewall software (Norton 360). I am running a Windows 7 operating system in English (UK). Any help gratefully received as Adobe will not offer telephone assistance as this is freeware! Thanks in advance.

You may have given up by now.. I just hope this advice helps some other user..
Have encountered this isssue several times..
several points I will note: of the machines I have worked on to date: only 1 did not have malware, all thus far have been 64bit Win7 and it seems after update to Reader 11.03..
but each so far I have:
- Checked for and removed any malware and or strange BHO's and Toolbars
- cleared all temp files including temporary internet
- removed Adobe reader and ANY OTHER PDF READER and reinstalled Adobe reader
- Checked that PDF's are associating with Adobe reader (sounds silly )
- Started the PC in Safe Mode - check reader works
                                             - Disabled Protected Mode in preferences: then disabled antivirus, along with most startup services and applications
                                             - restarted in normal mode - Check PDF opens normally: 100% of time for me it worked
                                             - re-enabled the anti-virus - restarted PC and rechecked
                                             - re-enable services and applications by group - restart and retest
So far that is all that I have needed to do.
All the best

Adobe Reader Not Working after OS 2 UPGRADE

Hope someone can help with this issue. Updated to OS 2, but now the Adobe Reader does not work. Since this was a new device and the upgrade started automatically, I have no idea if Adobe Reader worked in the previous OS version - from the forums, it seem to work. The shortcut icon is still there but when you click on it, Adobe Reader opens but is non-functional. Clicking on a PDF does nothing. I then tried to uninstall it in My World in Blackberry World Apps. In the Installed section, it shows Adobe Reader as being installed but I noticed that the Delete button was greyed out so I could not uninstall it for a reinstall.
It was interesting to note that when I tried to find Adobe Reader in BB World Apps, there was no listing for Adobe Reader.
Does anyone else have the same issue? Hopefully there is a solution for this problem. Is there another alternative app to Adobe Reader? Thanks.

Here is a quick test if to check if your Adobe Reader is currently working properly within its current confinement. Open the app and click on ‘Browse’.
If you can browse around, the app is working properly. If you can’t, close Adobe and then open it once more and try to browse.
If you still can’t browse it is time to ‘Restart’ your PB via the battery icon’s ‘Restart’ option.
Once your PB’s main screen loaded again repeat the test. I am sure you can browse now but don’t open a file yet. We need a ‘known’ conforming PDF file.
Now, this might be a bit of a surprise. Not all PDF files are created equally. Therefore, some PDF files can’t be opened by this Adobe Reader’s version without ‘hanging’ the app as indicated by ’not able to browse anymore’.
Please, download a conforming PDF file like the manual for the Playbook and select ‘Download PDF’ from this BB site:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/27018/index.jsp?name=User+Guide+-+BlackB...
Now open Adobe and select the newly downloaded file: “BlackBerry_Playbook_Tablet_User_Guide—“and it should open all 86 pages. Scroll around. This 2nd test verifies that your Adobe Reader is working because this file was created to follow the Microsoft – Adobe agreed upon standard which the PB is following.
So at this point in time we users have to except that some files are non-conforming and that Adobe Reader version 10.0.3 needs an update. BTW, I couldn’t find Adobe’s security setting in my PB either (this is not a 'fix' for OS 2 users).
Remember, Adobe cannot open files directly if you browse to your smartphone’s Adobe documents even so they might be ‘conforming’. You have to open these files first via File Manager (found on your main screen) so Adobe gets a trusted link which it stores in its hidden “Recent Document' folder. I guess, this link then allows Adobe to open conforming files which are stored in your smartphone the next time you open this linked Adobef PDF file without the help of the File Manager.
Your question: Is there another alternative app to Adobe Reader? Contributor sohrabza suggested to use an Android app called ‘Repligo’. I looked a bit into this and it is not yet a downloadable PB app unless you know how to a handle a bar file installation in your Playbook together with their Android version. They also make a Repligo version for the BB smartphone so they know RIM. I can’t believe cerience has not readied the Playbook App store download version to get my $4.99. Many users might want to choose this alternative PDF reader once it is available in the BB AppStore but their website does not give a hint if their app approval is pending with RIM.

Adobe Reader Not responding on Mac

I recently downloaded the Adobe Reader and the Adobe Digital Editions thing for school....everytime I try to use them they freeze up and do not respond...any suggestions for getting them to work?

Click the little apple on the top left of your screen and choose "about this Mac". It will tell you the version of OS X you are using and whether you have a PowerPC or an Intel.

Adobe reader x freezes after saving a document

Has anyone else had this issue? I need some help please.

Thanks. I've posted there as well. Anyone know if there's a workaround to keep reader from crashing with this form, or is my only option to roll back the servers until the creator of the form updates it?
(I have notified their webmaster of the issue, but who knows how long it will take the state to update the form.)

When I try to open firefox it says that it is not responding, after I disabled the adobe flash plug-in it worked, how do I get it to work with flash

Since I updated my adobe flash player firefox keeps saying that it is not responding after I open it and it loads my home page, I disabled add-ons and went throught the process of figuring out which one it was and it was adobe flash, but without flash I cant access a lot of different sites, how can I fix this. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but neither works!

My Adobe acrobat X Pro does not respond after a minute I open up a pdf file

I recently have installed Adobe Master Suite CS6 Collection. My Adobe acrobat X Pro does not respond after a minute I open up a pdf file. This happens every time when open a new pdf file. My operating system is Windows 7 pro ( Lenovo-64 bits). Any suggestions would be appreciated !!

Mylenium
Thank you for the suggestions.
I checked the WIndows log files. It reported the following error:
The program Acrobat.exe version 10.1.1.33 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

I ran for the memory diagnostics as it showed the error with video card error. My NVDIA graphics card is not working properly. Do you think that could be a problem?I am running on Windows 7 64 bit computer. It also complains about the incompatibility with 64 bits.
Thank you.

Premiere Pro CS6 not responding after adding anything to timeline

I had been using Premiere CS6 successfully for a while, but starting a few months ago, it started not responding after I did anything. I can add a title and a transition succesfully to the timeline and it plays fine, but as soon as I add a picture or video clip, it immediately stops responding. It's frustrating because the program used to work fine before.
The only thing I can think of that might have affected it was when I upgraded to Mavericks, but I haven't read anything about any serious problems with Premiere running on Mavericks. I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Go to http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere and, in the area just under Ask a Question, type in
mavericks
You may now read previous discussions on this subject... be sure to click the See More Results at the bottom of the initial, short list if the initial list does not answer your question
I am Windows so did not bookmark the messages, but I have seen SOME message threads with SOME solutions for SOME mavericks problems

Same thing is happening to me. Adobe has not responded to anyone about this error. It appears that Abobe XI is not compatible with IE 11. I do not get this error when I use Chrome or Firefox. Only IE 11 does this. I have tried clearing cache and cookies.

I am surprized that a company like Adobe would just ignore our posts and leave us hanging this this.
Error message is FAILED TO GET DISPATCH FROM IBRWSR2. Then when you click on it the next error message says: PHTML IS NULL. You have to click this error message twice and then the PDF finally loads. Happened every time
Does anyone have a solution since Adobe will not respond?
As a last resort I will try uninstalling the Adobe Reader XI and install Adobe Reader 10 instead. It seems to work ok. But when I try to install version 10 the Adobe site tries to install XI. Any ideas?

It worked just fine for me.

PShop CS2 (Not responding) after installing

I have just reinstalled Adobe Photoshop CS2. It appears to install okay. When you start it up it appears to start okay, the splash screen appears and goes through the start up, that disappears and the normal working page appears, but as soon as I click on any menu,tool etc. it goes blank with the top left corner of the working page showing Adobe Photoshop (not responding). I also tried a "repair" from the unistaller, but no joy.
For info:
I am working on a Dell Dimension 9150 I am running XP pro sp3. AV is AVG and firewall is Comodo. I have never been able to get PShop working on this computer, so I don't think it is a PShop problem. I have stacks of disk space, and 2Gb RAM.

Presume you have solved this but if not, uninstall PS2 ( I also unistalled all other versions I had PS5, etc), re-install, then install 9.02 update.
Did all this then accessed CS2 - no probem.
Think it may be a multi-processor problem.
