Adobe Reader XI won't launch, can't download or open existing PDF files.

Running Windows 7 and have had no trouble with PDF files until few weeks ago.  Now Adobe Reader Xi won't execute and I can't download or open existing PDF files using Adobe.  Interesting that I can open existing PDF files unsit PaintShop Pro X4 but not in Adobe.  Have unistalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI several times with no change in problem.

You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

  • Why is my Adobe Reader 11 going automatically to the background when i open an pdf file

    Hello Guys,
    We have a problem at a customer. If he opens an pdf file from his programm , then it is going automatically to the background.
    We tried it with Adobe Reader 8 and that wasn't giving a problem, so anybody has an workaround for Adobe Reader 11 ?
    Thanks
    Tariku Bartels

    Dear Pat,
    We have internet explorer 9.0 (and we tried it with 10) and when we want to proceed with it, it opens for a second an goes to the background.
    So it opens in the External Adobe Reader. But i know we can alt-tab it but it needs to be automatically and that worked just with Reader 8.
    So do you have any idea of how we can fix this or is there a workaround available for this problem.
    Kind regards,
    Tariku Bartels

  • Adobe Reader 9 Won't Launch

    I installed Adobe Reader 9 and it won't open.  Running XP Pro.  Tried to open pdfs through IE9 and Google Chrome.  Didn't work.  Reader just won't launch.  Does anyone have any solution(s)??

    H20 - I solved my problem. 
    I can't say what exactly was the cause, because later this PM - I did everything I could think of - system restore, a FULL Virus Scan, I used Malwarebytes - nothing solved it.
    Until I used Norton Power Eraser - it's advertised to find things that average virus scans can't - and in this case, I beleive it was a corrupt boot record on my machine?   Anyway - I ran it, the whole thing took another 30 minutes or less - and my Acrobat is now back in business.  A frustrating journey - but a statisfying end.
    I am NOT endorsing this my any means - your experience may be different.  I take no responsibility on what else could be affected by its use.   But I would not be using the fourum properly if I didn't pass along my experience.  Check out the rating on the page BEFORE you decide to use.    Some other posters could have an opinion as well.
    Here is a link - Good luck!

  • Unable to open existing PDF files after downloading Adobe reader

    I have an Advent 7085 PC with Windows XP Home version 2002 service pack 2. After downloading the latest Adobe Reader 8 I cannot open any of my existing PDF files, nor can I open any new ones. I have several times downloaded it, tried it and found it doesn't work so have then deleted it from the system and rebooted. Downloaded again only for the same thing to happen again. Error message says that Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Then I am advised to let microsoft know of this problem.
    Please!!! Is there anybody out there who knows what the problem might be and help me resolve it?
    Thanks

    I finally called tech support and this is what we did and it worked for me...First go to start/control panel/add&remove programs. Once the program list is configured, hilite Adobe reader and select remove. Once the program is removed, from the control panel select user accounts. Set up a new user account "test". Through user "test" go into www.adobe.com and select icon to download adobe reader. You do not need to run media player, remove check unless you want to download it. After program is downloaded and copied you can close out of adobe. At that point I was able to open my PDF files without any error message. Tech advised me to keep the "test" user set up, doesn't hurt anything to have it there. He told me that there probably was some settings under my user account that was causing a glitch in the download and that is why we opted to download through a new user account. BTW the tech support was free if you still can't get it to work. Good Luck

    MAC OSX version 10.4.11 and I can't seem to open any PDF
    I'm having this problem as well. I have both Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 and Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed with the proper internet plug-in, using OS 10.4.11. When I try to open a pdf file in Safari I get a window asking me to choose an application to open the file, but both applications are dimmed and cannot be selected. I have tried re-installing Acrobat Reader, but without success. In Firefox I simply get a blank, darkened window. __Previously, before I installed Leopard and was using Tiger, I had Acrobat Reader 7.0 as well as AR 8.0 installed, and I was only able to select AR 7.0, but it worked. Now nothing works. This is a serious problem that Adobe needs to address!

  • Can no longer open existing pdf files

    My adobe free reader program has recently become very slow and fairly non-responsive lately.  I use PDFCreator Plus for printing.  When I attempted to print a PDF to the PDFCreator Plus today (as I've done for years) when the reader was opening files so slowly, it changed all of my Adobe PDF's to PDFCreator Plus files.  It allowed me to switch them back, but now I cannot open any existing or newly created files.  I have thousand's of pdf's.  I have since loaded Foxit because I run two businesses and can't work without access to my pdf's.  I would like to use Adobe again but need to know what to do to regain the ability to utilize the program and open my pdf's once again.  I use Adobe's Free Reader with latest version 11.0.07 downloaded May 22, 2014.

    PDF Creator Plus combines a virtual printer with a preview application that displays your printed document before the PDF is created.  I use it with  the proposal software at my office.  It's a program that is less costly than Adobe.
    Cannot means I can't?  When I click on a pdf, nothing happens.  Nothing opens.  I need to be able to access my pdf's in order to work expeditiously.  My proposal and accounting files are mostly in pdf's.   I downloaded Foxit  but using Foxit is an onerous task.
    I am not sure what happened, but when I was trying to open some files from my accountant today to view in Adobe Reader, the pdf's became non-responsive.  When I clicked on an existing file, somehow it changed every Adobe pdf to a PDF Creator Plus pdf document.  I could right-click and choose to switch back to Adobe pdf's , but when I did, something really went awry, and now nothing happens at all when I click any pdf's (and they appear as regular Adobe files). 
    Again, I can open them in Foxit, but if I save them again, they are still useless unless I remain in the Foxit program. 

  • Adobe Reader XI won't launch/read pdfs. No error message.

    All of a sudden, reader xi wont launch, read pdfs, or download pdfs online. When I double click the program shortcut (or pdf I want to open) the mouse makes the "loading" animation....but nothing happens. No error message, just refuses to work. Re-installing temporarily fixed the problem. However, the next time i turn on my machine the problem returns! I'm at the point where I have to reinstall adobe everytime I turn on the computer .
    Any advice would be welcome.
    I'm on windows 7 btw

  • Saved an email yesterday in Adobe Reader, now where is it and how do I open that PDF?

    saved an PDF email in Adobe Reader, now where is it and do I open it? It has job application that need to orient out?

    x11 needs to be installed from the OS X install cd that shipped with your mbp (its burried in one of the folders, don't remember which off hand - sorry).
    as for removing developer tools... personally, i wouldn't. if you ever plan on installing stuff from source via fink or darwinports or want to install apache/php for some reason, you'll need the developer tools. they do come in very hand, but if you are so incline to remove them, open up a terminal window (/Applications/Utilities) and issue the command
    sudo /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl
    that should prompt you for your password. Just walk through it and it'll clear them out.
    If you really want to use open office on os x, i'd highly suggest neooffice

  • How can I repair and open damaged PDF files?

    I need to download every online issue of ASOS magazine, which are all PDF files, and I have already downloaded at least five to my USB stick, and they have all worked perfectly. However, there are five more issues that I have not downloaded, and I need to download them. To my frustration, every time that I download any of these files to the same USB stick, a box appears saying that the file cannot be open because it is damaged and cannot be repaired. I have followed your instructions and saved these files to my hard drive instead, but they are still damaged and do not open properly. Please tell me how I can open my files without Adobe Reader saying that they are damaged.
    Steps to reproduce the bug:
    I download an online issue of ASOS magazine from ASOS.com or Publitas.com; the latter is the official website for bask issues of ASOS magazine.
    The file downloads as normal.
    I open the file in Adobe Reader.
    Result: A box appears saying that the file is damaged, and that Adobe Reader is trying to repair the file. Only a second later, another box appears, saying that the file cannot be repaired, thus not allowing me to view the file as normal.
    The result that I want: No boxes appear saying that the file is damaged, and it opens as normal.

    The download links of the problem PDF files are:
    http://epub02.publitas.com/ASOS/11/magazine.php
    http://epub02.publitas.com/ASOS/10/magazine.php
    http://epub02.publitas.com/ASOS/17/magazine.php?spread=88#/spreadview/
    http://epub02.publitas.com/ASOS/19/magazine.php?spread=90#/spreadview/0/
    http://epub02.publitas.com/ASOS/23/magazine.php?spread=88
    The latest issue of the ASOS online magazine can always be downloaded at:
    http://www.asos.com/au/Women/Magazine/Womens-Magazine-Asos/Cat/pgehtml.aspx?cid=6200&WT.ac =Nav_Magazine
    My OS is WIndows Vista with Service Pack 2. The browser that I use is Internet Explorer.
    The way I download these files is quite simple:
    I open any one of the webpages whose URLs I have listed.
    I wait a few minutes for the software that allows the magazine to be read online to load fully. Publitas.com allows entire magazines to be viewed online, and also, among many other features, provides viewers with a search engine which allows them to search for certain words or phrases in the magazine.
    Once the software has fully loaded, on the toolbar at the top of the webpage (in the case of ASOS.com, the toolbar is underneath the various toolbars and boxes found on www.asos.com) there is a button featuring the Adobe Reader logo; when you hover your mouse over the logo, it will say 'download PDF'. To download the PDF file, you first click on the logo.
    The 'View Downloads- Windows Internet Explorer' window will open. The name of the PDF file, and the URL on which it was found, will both appear in the window, under the Name column. Under the Location column, it will say, 'Do you want to open or save this file?'. Under the Actions column, there will be two buttons, saying Open and Save. I click on the arrow on the save button and choose to save the PDF to my hard drive, in the Documents folder (which is currently the default folder for saving PDF files).
    That is how I download a PDF.

  • CC won't launch, can't download additional applications

    Creative Cloud was working fine a few days ago, and I was able to download Photoshop and Illustrator but now the program will not launch. I have just gotten up in the middle of the night to download the rest of the suite (I'm on satellite internet and get free data downloads between midnight and 5 a.m.) but apparently I no longer have the ability to access CC files. On another thread, everyone solved their problems by deleting input manager files, but I cannot find a folder with that name. I have a folder called library/input methods, but it is empty. I am running OS 10.10.2 on a brand new iMac. This is beyond frustrating.
