Is there a certain number of times I should install Adobe Reader on a mac before it works?

Is there a certain number of times I should install Adobe Reader on a mac before it works?  Cant open any Adobe certified pdf's in any applications. Keeps telling me to install Reader for the best experience.
I've tried that on three macs, no luck.  Website in general is a shambles.

No, if it doesn't work the first time, doing it again isn't likely to change anything.
The usual reason for this message is that the app is not using Reader, but the PDF needs Reader. What app is putting out the message? Can you reply (NOT BY EMAIL) with a screen shot of the message?

  • Need stats on the number of computers that have installed Adobe Reader

    Where can I find how many computers have installed Adobe Reader? I've searched but I can't seem to find an answer. I am trying to convince the PM for a project that we don't need an non-PDF version of a PDF file since Reader is almost universally installed. However, I can't find a solid number to report.

    You probably won't get one either. Just wild guesses. This isn't something that Adobe would release as fas as I know.
    If you want my wild guess, I'd say 95% of the computers in the US have Reader but again, I have no real information to base that number on.

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem on one of my Macs (MBP 15 Mid-2010 / OS X Yosemite): Both reader and Acrobat Pro download without a hitch. Both also install with no problem.
    But once you click the program to open, they both return "an internal error occurred".  
    I tried downloading three separate copies, and still get the same error message when I install and launch.  I've also uninstalled the previous installations via CleanMyMac2 to make sure it's no longer in the SSD.  Same results.
    Am using a new SSD as internal boot drive, with fresh / clean installation of OS X and Apps (previous internal HDD crashed) -- And am seeing errors not only with Acrobat, but also with LR5 which always comes up with a "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" -- inspite or uninstall, download and reinstall.  Not sure if it's a registry issue? (Not even sure if that's the case with OS X).
    Do I need to reformat the whole SSD? I hope not!
    Thanks
    Edwin

  • I have tried to re-instal Adobe reader on my Mac many times. Asks for my PW and gives my name. I just received a new PW with no success. I delete my name and put in my E-mail address. No help.

    Cannot re-install Adobe reader. Says "Adobe reader wants to make changes" and gives my name not e-mail address then asks for a PW. I received a new PW and can sign into Adobe.com but am unable to install Adobe reader on my MAC.

    Enter the password of your Mac.

  • I cannot install adobe reader into my mac this is the message it tells me to open license agreement and press ok.. and close it then reopen.. i've done this dozen times already

    i cannot install adobe reader into my mac.. i get the message to open license agreement and select yes and click it closed

    The free Rader does not require a license. Could it be that Mac OS is asking you for the password of your Mac? Or that you are required to launch Reader (open your Applications folder and doble click on the Reader icon) to accept the licence agreement? Please be as specific as you can.

    I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier  version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

    Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

  • I cannot get time machine (with airport) to back up my mac. It worked previously but not now. It is working on my macbook. the message i get is "Time Machine couldn't back up to '(airport network name)'"

    I cannot get time machine (with airport) to back up my mac. It worked previously but not now. It is working on my macbook. the message i get is "Time Machine couldn't back up to '(airport network name)'" Any help is appreciated.

    OS is important.. What OS is on Mac and what is on the working macbook?
    Was the Airport setup from the Macbook? That might be why it works from there..
    Does the AE show up in Mac airport utility?
    Can you mount the disk in finder and copy files to it/from it??
    Did you try a TM reset after mounting in Finder.. so you know it is available?
    What about a network reboot.. does it work post a restart for a few minutes/hours/days???

    Every time I try to install Adobe Reader, I get error message "object already installed". Tried all the fixes and suggestions. I need help.

    If you haved tried all the fixes and suggestions, there is not much to add. Just in case: did you really try using this tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to first eliminate all traces of Reader, and then use the full offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/?

  • Is there a way to programmatically configure Firefox to use Adobe Reader within the Firefox Browser?

    We have customers who are having difficulty saving their PDF files upon opening them from our web page because most of the time, they have "Use Adobe Reader (default)" set under Tools->Options->Applications. This causes the PDF file to be loaded into a standalone version of Adobe Reader where the Save icon is disabled.
    We can suggest to our users that they change this to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", which will give them the desired behavior of loading the PDF in a Firefox window with the Acrobat plug-in's Save icon enabled.
    However, we'd like to pro-actively change this configuration for our users via javascript if at all possible, so they don't have to go through the trouble of contacting us with the issue.
    Is this possible?

    I think that the built-in PDF Viewer only gets triggered with a specific MIME type (application/pdf) send by the server.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

  • Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe

    Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning  tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader  11 is removed  from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is  like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11.  also tried:
    1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled  2. installed from different locations  3. removed adobe key from
    local machine and tried to install

    Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
    The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines.  However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE.  Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
    Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

  • Is there any way I can rotate pdf's in Adobe Reader?

    I want to use Adobe Reader to view drawings when out on site, but they often open in portrait when they should be landscape.  Is there any way I can rotate the view?

    Adobe Reader does not have a built in way to rotate the view, but iOS allows you to set the slider next to the volume control on your iPad to lock rotation of the device. You could set that to control rotation, and when you open a document whose pages are rotated, you could lock the device rotation, then rotate the deivce to view the page.
