  • Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

    Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update?  My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

    NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
    Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
    Select "Properties"
    Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
    Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
    That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

  • Cannot print  pdf files after downloading version 8.1.2

    windows xp pro hp photsmart all in one printer 512 ram

    I am running windows XP and recently downloaded Adobe Reader 8.1.2. When I try to print any .PDF document (new or old), I get a "Unable to start print job. Is printer available" message. I checked the printer, nothing is in the que and the printer works fine with every other program, except the PDF files. I have tried uninstalling it and it will not. I have tried to install updates and it will not. It asks me to check on a patch, and I don't know how to do that. I have tried installing version 7 and it tells me no, I have a more recent version...
    I have tried changing the comments and forums drop down menu; Advanced: print as image or not; and also switching print to file off. All result in the same error message: "Unable to start print job. Is printer available" I have spent countless hours with the tech support for the HP 3 in one Printer, and there is nothing wrong with the printer. It would appear that a patch is missing to solve this problem???
    I had to give up on version 8.1.2 and when I had difficulty removing it through Add/Remove programs, I used the Windows Install Clean up utility to remove it. Then I installed version 7 and do not take upgrades to 8.1.2. It was the best option for my needs, given that Adobe does not seem to have taken on repairing the problem. In my troubleshooting, it is not a printer issue.

  • 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

  • Cannot open pdf files or uninstall adobe reader

    I downloaded Reader X but could not open any pdf files so tried to reinstal.  I got the message that it was already installed so tried to uninstall but could not do it. The message was to say that it was using certain files and to close explorer.  Dont know how I do that if I am using it to contact adbobe!!!!  I now have a program which does not work and I really need to be able to get these pdf's downloaded now.  Does anybody know how to get rid of the adobe from the system.

    The easiest would be if you close all applications, especially web browsers, then try to uninstall again.
    If that still fails, use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459) to remove the current Reader installation, then try again to install.

  • I cannot view PDF file (though have Adobe Reader 9 on my computer)

    Why do I get the message "the application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.  Reinstalling application may fix this problem" whenever I try to open a PDF file (both from Email and from Harddrive). I have Adobe Reader 9.  Does anyone have any clues?  Thanks.

    Uninstall, use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool to remove anything left in the Registry, then re-install.

  • After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. How do I uninstall and reinstall the software?  Adobe's instructions are only for Window devices.

    After downloading latest Reader software (11) on my Mac (OS10.7.5) I cannot print pdf files on either of my two printers. I suspect corrupt software.  How do I uninstall and reinstall the software?  Adobe's on-line instructions are only for Window devices.

    You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove  the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

  • Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

    Hi,
    I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
    Two error messages appear:
    1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
    2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
    I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
    Thank you for your advice

    Hi Pat,
    Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
    I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
    Thank you anyway for your advice!

  • After installing Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 on my Windows 7 x64 operating system it will not print pdf documents

    After installing Adobe Reader XI 11.0.09 on my Windows 7 x64 operating system, I attempted to print and existing pdf document to my Brothers MFC-J4510DW printer I received error message indicating that no pages where selected (I selected print all pages).

    Hi satsugyo1,
    For printing both sides, you might also need to enable 'printing on both sides' option in Reader print dialog box.
    Please do the same and then print your PDF.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Regards,
    Anubha
