I downloaded the Adobe Reader and now can't open PDF files

I downloaded the Adobe Reader after notification on my MacBook Pro and now can't read PDF files

Yes, I was able to open PDFs until I downloaded the new version as per the alert on my MacBook Pro.  I was using Adobe Reader often. 
I downloaded whatever they sent me my way (11?) and my operating system is Mac05 (10.5.8-10.9 English).The message says I’ve already downloaded it.  It didn’t mention file.org.  I looked in my preferences and didn’t see Adobe Reader, only Flash Player.
I’m not terribly computer savvy, so I’m trying to figure this out.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Downloaded updated Adobe Reader and now can't open attachments

    My MLS system program CoreLogic's Fusion just did updates and the updated version of Adobe Reader is the only one which will allow attachements to be read.  Well, I upgraded my version of Adobe Reader to the right one and it worked for a few minutes but now it doesn't work.  I can't read any attachments.  This is not just my problem.  Others have experienced the same thing.  What can I do to fix this?  It is really a big problem for me in my line of work.

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?  Email client?  If you use web-based email, in what browser.
    Finally, what exactly means "can't"?

  • Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

    Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

    Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

  • Since upgrading to 3.6.15 and Adobe Reader X I can't open PDF files

    If I try and open a PDF file get message saying problem with Adobe reader, if it is running exit and try again. However it is not running. I then get a blank screen. If I close FF next time I try to open it a message says FF is already running and I have to reboot to clear the problem. This happens on both my desktop running XP and my laptop running Vista but only since I upgraded to 3.6.15. I upgraded Adobe to Ver X a week ago and it worked fine until the latest FF update.
    The problem doesn't happen in IE.

    The same as all other Mac apps. Which is to say:
    Open Finder.
    Look in the left column for Applications.
    Click to open.
    Find Adobe Reader. Open a folder if needed.
    Double click to launch Adobe Reader.

    Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

    Obviously your download was not successful.
    What is your operating system?  How exactly do you download such files?

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • Down loaded adobe x and now can not open recently viewed files

    I downloaded the new version of adobe but I now can not open any files. I get a white screen and windows task manager says adobe in not responding.
    Any suggestions. Thanks.

    Adobe has magically started to run again. I had the program running with just a white screen and after about a 10 minute delay it seems to be ok.
    I hope that is the end of the problem. I have no idea what the problem was, maybe it was doing an internal update , I am not a computer whiz.

  • I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

    If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
    I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

  • I loaded adobe reader and I can not open a pdf file.  It keeps telling me I need adobe acrobat.

    I loaded adobe reader and I can not open a pdf file.  It keeps telling me I need adobe acrobat.

    What is your operating system?
    You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
    Also, is this a local or online PDF?  If online, in what browser?

    This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

  • I worked on a trial of LR 5 on a catalog and now can't open my files in my LR4 after the trial has expired. How do I access my catalog now?

    I upgraded my LR4 catalog for a trial LR5 and now can't open my original LR4 catalog. What do I do to open my files?

    It sounds as if you are using  the Lightroom 5 version from the creative cloud, and you don't have a subscription. The Lightroom behavior you are describing is what happens when you don't have an active creative cloud subscription. Upgrading catalogs from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5 does not do anything to the original catalog if you can find and start Lightroom 4, you should be able to start right where you left off. But any new files that you imported into Lightroom 5 will not be there. They will be on your hard drive and you can import them again. But you are going back to a catalog that was used up until you installed Lightroom 5. Hopefully, you didn't uninstall Lightroom 4.

  • I have Adobe reader installed, but can't open pdfs in Firefox and it doesn't show in the Applications tab.

    When I click on a pdf link, the new tab opens but doesn't show the content of the pdf. There is no error message. When I look under Tools, Options, applications, there is no option for handling pdfs. I have the Adobe reader for Firefox installed.

  • Downloaded latest IOS update and now can't open apps or mail attachments.  Help?

    Just downloaded the latest IOS update on my iPad and now can no longer access app's or attachments in my mail box.
    I am receiving my e-mail but cannot access the internet, Google etc
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Many thanks

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
