Adobe Reader XI does not run using Win7 Pro

Trying to run Adobe Reader XI on a PC running Win7 Pro, but it starts, gives gray screen, then shuts down. However, I can read pdf docs within Google Chrome.
I was running Reader version 10 with no problem, went to upgrade to 11, and now no versions work, as I've tried to uninstall and reinstall ver 9,10,11 but none work. Help!

I ran the script but does not fix issue.
When I run Adobe Reader or click on a .pdf file on my drive, the Adobe reader program starts, but gives a gray screen while my hard drive spins, then program closes.
any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument.

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument. Version X and lower all worked fine. I have deleted and reinstalled the program with no success. Is this a bug?

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

Adobe Reader X does not launch

Hello,
Frequently, Adobe Reader X does not start on my Windows 7 computer.
I have tried the following methods of access:
Desktop link
Start > All Program > Adobe Reader X
Run > C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Environmental specs:
Computer: ASUS laptop
OS: Windows 7, fully updated as of 2/5/12
RAM: 8 gigs
Processor: Intel i5, second gen
Observations:
Subsequent attempts to launch Adobe Reader X add another "AcroRd.exe *32" image to the "Processes" tab in Windows Task Manager (the count of these images can build up very high).
These same attempts fail to add an "Adobe Reader X" task in the "Applications" tab of Task Manager.
The CPU and Memory were only at 25% of their capacities during the last occurrence.
[Failed] attempts taken to fix problem:
Repair install
Complete uninstall / reinstall
Workaround:
As of now, the only workaround I have found is to restart my computer. If I am lucky, Adobe Reader X will open after booting. Otherwise, I just have to keep restarting until it works.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Sam

Would it be possible for you to:
1. Temporarily disable the antivirus program and try launching Reader again.
2. Try launching Reader by right clicking on the shortcut and selecting "Run as Administrator"
If all the above steps produce negative results, please check the Event Logs on your machine (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Evenet Viewer > Windows Logs > Application) and see if you are seeing any error related to Adobe Reader.
Also, could you let me know if launching Adobe Reader produces any error of sorts, or does it simply not launch inspite of a process being spawned.

I installed ADE and when I try to download ebook it tries to open with Adobe reader and does not give option to open with ADE

I installed ADE and when I try to download ebook it tries to open with Adobe reader and does not give option to open with ADE

It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

Adobe Reader X will not run and Cannot be unistalled

I am running Windows XP on my laptop and I recently allowed Adobe to update to Adobe Reader X. I immediately encountered the problem of not being able to open PDF documents and then Reader X just stopped working all together.
Now I can not uninstall it or reload any older version at all. In all cases I get an error message stating that "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" and then askes for the location of the file AcroRead.msi. This file does not exist anywhere on my laptop.
Any idea how I can remove Adobe reader from this machine? I have tried all of the manual removal suggestions and always end up with the above mentioned problem.

You may want to try the following.
Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like

Then, download the Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

My Adobe Reader Plugin does not Load in Some Machines

Hi ,
I have created a Plugin for Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X.
As per the licence it has to work with both the version.
My plugin gets loaded in Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X versions only in development machines and few of the testing machines and My plugin works fine in these machine as per the task it has to do.
I tried to test My plugin in some machines which has same configuration as that of the machines where My plugin was able to load, but i could see My plugin loaded only in some machines and all other machine its not getting loaded.
Please some one let me know why is this happening and how to overcome this. I think i am missing something to load My Plugin but in some machines i was able to load My plugin without doing any settings other than copying My plugin's .api file to Reader Plugin's folder.
Thanks in advance. Please some one help me out.

Adobe Reader plugin does not allow to save files

When pdf files are opened inside firefox using the Adobe plugin 10.1.12.15, I am not able to save them to disk. The "Save button" appears on the bottom of the screen on hovering, but clicking it does not offer any action. Neither does CRT-SHIFT-S or displaying the Adobe menu bar and pressing "Save as..." from there.
Restarting of the browser sometimes helps.
Any tips? And no, I do not want to save pdf files as the first option. I want the opened by default in Firefox and save them from there when I need/want to do this.

Solved it. Problem seemed to have been a crashed Acrobat process. Just kill all Acrobat tasks in the task manager, reload the link in the browser and the Save button now works.

Adobe Reader XI does not reopen saved PDF files

Reader XI will not open PDF files saved. Opens PDF saved using earlier version of Reader. Using MAC.

Good News and bad news.
The bad news is: The PDFs are irreparably damaged and you'll need to delete them.
The good news is: you can prevent this from happening again.
Download the ollfine Reader 11 installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Save the DMG - DO NOT mount it or run the installer yet.
Quit Safari.
Go to: Mac HD/Applications
Trash the Reader 11 app from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin file
Trash the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin file
Empty the trash
Mount the DMG and run the Reader installer.
Open Safari and go to: Safari>Preferences
Under the Security Tab, make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.
You can now redownload the previously "damaged" PDFs and they will open.

Printing a PDF in Adobe Reader v8 does not print watermark

In our office we have PDFs created with Adobe Acrobat Professional version 7 that have a lighten watermark which say "confidential". These PDF documents print fine with Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Our office has now converted to Adobe Reader 8.1.1. When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader v8.1.1 the watermark displays on the screen but when you print the document the document prints without the watermark.
I have checked the knowledge base and can't find this issue. The document has no trouble printing, it just doesn't display the watermark. I have tested Adobe Reader versions 8.0, 8.1.1 and the new version 8.1.2 all display the watermark when you open the Reader, but none of them print the watermark. I have gone back and verify and the watermark does print on Adobe Reader v7.0.8.
If anyone has a similar issue or solution please let me know.
Thanks,
Mary Mendoza

I have the same problem. The watermark does not print out even though I can see it in the print preview. Anybody...?

Adobe Reader XI, does not recognize installed printer

After I installed Adobe XI 11.0 on my PC I can no longer print pdf files, I get the error "Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer." I can print on the installed printer using any other software (i.e. Word, internet explore, etc.).I have a second computer with the same Adobe reader XI and it prints pdf files to printer with no problem. I have disabled Preference "Enable Enhanced Security. I have uninstalled and re-installed both Adobe and the printer.

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.
