Cant open any old pdf with the adobe acrobat dc [Android]

I recently updated my adobe reader to adobe acrobat dc and since then I cannot open any old pdf files in my phone. The new ones I download open just fine,  but the old ones have just disappeared. The only files I can see are those I have downloaded after updating the app and listed in the Recent page.
I tried open my old pdf files by clicking on the floating folder icon in the Recent page, which brings me to my downloads folder in my phone. After clicking on an old pdf file, a dialogue will open saying that adobe will create a local copy of the document. After I click continue, it will say that the file cannot be accessed, and ask me to check the location or the network (the pdf files were those the app listed on the downloads folder on my phone). I have also tried to open them from my phone's own download manager. It will first tell me the file cannot be found, in which I will redownload it, but then the app says that it can't be opened because it is not a valid pdf file. How can that be true when it opened just fine before I updated the app?  All my old pdf files are also not detected automatically by the app, which was the one feature I loved so much about the old version of Adobe reader. What must I do to open my old pdf files that are in my phone?
my phone is a Samsung galaxy s4.

Are you trying to open the documents from the Downloads tab as shown below?
If that is the case, it is possible you are trying to open the files which were previously downloaded and no longer exist on your device. To open the files which actually exist on your device, you can go to the Internal Storage tab which exists below the Download tab. The Internal storage tab will show the folders available. Go to the downloads folder in the internal storage tab and then to the 'Adobe Reader' or 'Adobe Acrobat' folder and you can find the files there.
Thanks.

  • I purchased CS6 and had problems with the Adobe Acrobat Pro so i uninstalled and now need to reinstall but serial number wont work. How can i reinstall ONLY Adobe Acrobat Pro since its included in CS6?

    I purchased Design Standard CS6 the entire package. I downloaded and installed but I was continually having problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried updating to the newest version but it only made the problems worse (acrobat was super slow and constantly not responding). So i decided to try to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Well I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall ONLY the adobe acrobat pro but it says my serial number (which is for design standard) will not work. Since Acrobat Pro is included in the suite, i thought this wouldnt be a problem. Is there anyway to get around this without uninstalling the entire design standard and reinstalling everything? I only need to reinstall acrobat pro.

    You need to reinstall Acrobat the the Creative Suite, you cannot download it is a separate application and install it that way because it will be looking for a serial number relative to being a singly purchased application.

  • Problem with the  Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.4 (Review Tracker)

    Friends!:
    I have a big problem, just a few days ago we installed the Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.4
    The next version this is creating problems for the users, because normally we use the review (Track Review) to comment online, but this began to fail, because that is not saving posted by the users in the documents and is generating problems.
    HELP PLEASE, THANKS
    ps: We using the Windows XP
    ps2: Sorry for my "bad" english, but im native from Southamerica
    Regards!

    I have a wild guess, that's all. Do you perhaps have the disk formatted as "case sensitive"?

  • Arrgh! Is anybody else having problems with the Adobe Acrobat open source approach to handling PDF files? I am getting as many as three crashes and full reboot per day and the delays are terribly frustrating.

    Do I have a registry problem?
    Every time I open a PDF file my local Adobe Acrobat (6.0) installation opens AND the file displays in Firefox (v. 4.0.1). When I close the PDF file it tells me other PDF files are open and asks if I'm sure I want to close Acrobat.
    The process is messy and somewhere, before too long there is a memory error that causes the whole system to crash.
    Is anybody else having this problem? Does anybody have any idea how to fix the conflict?

  • How to get Adobe Reader to open IE 8 pdf(s) over Adobe Acrobat???

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 installed on my Windows 7 32 computer.  I also have Adobe Reader 10 installed.  Everything was working fine until recently and after using the Acrobat 8 to edit some documents, I could no longer open a pdf. in Internet Explorer 8.   If I try to view a PDF in Internet Explorer 8, I get the message that Adobe that's open can't read the file. 

    So do I need to remove Acrobat 8?  That program was so expensive and has created one nightmare after another.  I can't afford to replace it butseems I can't afford to use it either (if I can't do my online research).  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks for responding!

  • Consistenly "too many arguments" when OCR any scanned PDF file in Adobe Acrobat 9.2

    Hi,
    plz see attached file for a 2 page sample. I have purchased AA9 to get better OCR (clearscan). Before, we were using AA6, which sometimes crashed, but not consistently.
    However, AA9 (9.2.0) now always crashes with the same error "too many arguments" after finishing of the OCR. All pages turn completely white. Saving them causes the contents to be gone permanently and even happened with batch OCR.
    OCRing on http://www.cvisiontech.com/online-conversion/general/main.html works fine, but that product we have not yet purchased.
    Does anyone have an idea what might cause this and how to resolve it?
    The PDF-s have been generated by HP Digital Sender and Canon scanner/printer MF9170. Both types of scans give the same result.
    Regards,
    Guido

    There is no virus protection or spy protection on this PC. It runs the following:
    Windows Server 2003 x64 SP2
    The file gives the error both on my local disk and on my (Samba) network disk.
    As far as tested all scans give the same error at the end of the scanning process. Might it be related to x64 handling from a x32 program?

  • PDF Forms on Adobe Acrobat for Android

    So I created a PDF form and the I loaded it on my android tablet.  I filled out some of the fields and close it to fill it the reset of the fields at a later time.  When I re-open the PDF, all my information that I already filled in is there but I can no longer access the fields and fill in the rest of the form. If I load that PDF on my computer, the fields are all accessable but on any android device they are not.
    Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    This should not be happening. Is the form one that you can share with the dev team to look at?
    If so, send it to [email protected] with an explantion of the problem. We may be able to identify the issue and fix it in a future update.

  • Photoshop CS3 doesn't open dng-files converted with the adobe dng converter 7.4

    Hey Guys,
    i got a new camera - sony alpha a57 - which produces arw-files. for being able to work with these pictures on my photoshop cs3 I converted the arw-files to dng-files. now adobe bridge shows only the converted dng-signs, but I can't open them to work on them.
    does anyone have an idea what I could do to use these files?
    thanx,
    rita

    Hi,
    Sometimes when using the dng converter one needs to set the compatibility settings to the version of camera raw you want to open the files with.

  • The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.OK. I followed the instruction and the problem still persists.

    I got the following pop-up when I tried to open an online PDF file:
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
    I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
    The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280

    After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
    My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
    Hope that helps!

  • I cannot print pdf documents from Adobe Acrobat

    When I open up a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat, I am unable to print it. If I try and use an HP Laserjet 1606 laser printer Acrobat crashes. When I use either an HP Office Jet 7000 wide format ink jetprinter or a Brother MFC 3360C multi function ink jet printer I either get an error message that says "This document cannot be printed" or Acrobat crashes.
    I can print using the Preview program.
    Any suggestions?

  • Need help with reinstalling Adobe Acrobat X Standard

    hello, I recently bought a computer With Adobe Acrobat X Standard already on it and recently the hard drive failed. When reformating the computer adobe acrobat X standard was not put back on the machine. I have the product key but cant figure out how to redownload the Adobe Acrobat X Standard.

    Normally companies used to provide application disks for those applications that they had installed. On a lot of newer systems they have started putting everything on the system and usually give guidelines on how to back it all up before you go further. In any case, as long as you have the key and hopefully registered Acrobat, then Adobe should be able to help. When you do get the install file, be sure to back it up to CD.

  • Plug-ins for Adobe Acrobat for Android

    Hello,
    My company purchased a PDF that has been protected using the FileOpen DRM Encryption program for PDFs (see www.fileopen.com).
    On a Windows/Mac system, apparently all I would have to do is try to open the PDF file with Adobe reader, and reader would prompt me to download the FileOpen plugin. At that point, the PDF file could be opened on that computer (and only on that computer). However, since the rights limit file access to one device, we were hoping to read the PDF from a tablet PC to facilitate use of the document on-site.
    What I don't know is if this plugin would also work with the Adobe Acrobat Reader X app on an android system. Can this app handle the FileOpen plugin?
    Any help with this would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus.  Now I cannot open any .pdf files from the internet.

    I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus and now I cannot open any Adobe .pdf files from the internet.  Fix?

    Go to F_Secure's Flashback Removal Tool web page, download their Flashback trojan detection/removal tool, and follow the instructions you find there.
    Also install the latest java update which also tries to remove these trojans.
    Java for OS X Lion 2012-003
    And only download the adobe flash plugin from the adobe site.
    Update:
    Just because you cannot download pdf may not be an indication of the trojan.  There's been a number of reports about problems like that with pdf's.  Look at the More Like This section on the right side of this page.
