Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Acrobat version: 10.1.1
System info: Windows 7 64 bit

Hi Kelvin,
Please let me know what OS version you are using.
The error also shows OS requirements not met.
Futher please try the steps below :
> Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref : http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
> Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
> Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

I get this message when I try to open .pdf files in Mozilla: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1014:1014)

What can I do to get this to work?

We were getting the same error on a Win 7 machine which had Acrobat 7 (running in compatability mode) and Reader X installed. When the user was trying to open the link from an email the error 'There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat.....(0:521) would appear and the pdf would not load.
Investigating the problem I can across an article to uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet). Undertaking this procedure in Acrobat Reader X however, I could not uncheck this and the path the app was showing was for Acrobat 7!?!
Therefore, opened Acrobat 7 and undertook the same procedure. Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet) which I was able to do, saved and closed the application.
Rechecked Acrobat X and the "Display PDF in browser" could be deselected and the path was now for ..\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Retried the original email with the link to the pdf and it now opens without error.
Not too sure if this will help but just thought I would share.

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again.

We have Adobe Reader 8.1.3 set to open in the browser.
We are trying to open PDF files within IE Browser. While opening multiple documents in the IE Browser, we get "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." error, once we click on the "OK" button, PDF file opens in the Adobe reader. This happens randomly while some files open up in IE Browser and some files get the above mentioned error message and open in the Adobe Reader.
We need to open all the PDF files in the IE Browser. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I may be better off without the tool bar, but I have found anohter solution;
. Open Adobe Reader,
            go to edit menu,
            under Preferences
            go to Internet, uncheck "Display pdf in browser"
The pdf files then open, but not in the browser

Although I have found other threads in this forum relating to this error - none of the fixes appear to work. I've not found precisely the same error number (0:521), might I need a different fix for this? Has anyone else had the same error?
Just to note, this appears to be an issue with Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 while viewing pdfs 'in-browser' i.e. using the plugin. Other versions of IE on other machines and FF on the same machine work fine on the same pdfs. It also works if you right click the pdf, download and view it in Acrobat Reader 'locally'.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm stumped.

Hi, So I'm having a problem with Adobe Acrobat 10

Hi,
So I'm having a problem with Adobe Acrobat 10. I have backed up adobe acrobat files and stored them on an external hard drive. When I attach the external hard drive to one laptop I can open the acrobat files just fine but when I try to open the files from the other laptop I get "Acrobat could not open "file.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). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF.
Both computers are Toshiba Portege laptops and both computers have Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro installed. I can open files fine from one but can not open the exact same files on the other. I find this very strange. Also, I can plug the external drive into my iMac and open the files fine from there and other different Windows computers. It appears the issue is just happening on the one laptop. Any ideas for a fix? Thanks.

For the specific laptop - consider doing a "repair" (under Acrobat's Help).
If that does not do it then consider uninstall-deactivate-reinstall-active.
Still no go? Try:
Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
Be well...

"there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)

We are getting the following error "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)" and a gray screen appears (Image not viewable) with multiple users. We are using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05) and (11.0.06). The current workaround is to log off the website and log back in. Once the user logs back in, the pdf will appear. However it occurs anywhere from 2-8 times in a day. Anyone else having this issue or know of another workaround? Any suggestion with how to fix? Please help!!

Hi Valerie,
Please let me know the version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader & operating system installed on your computer?
Also, try this:-
Launch Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
From the menu, choose Edit -> preferences -> General
Uncheck the option for "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
Restart the Adobe Reader and web browser.

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

How do you fix error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. (6:6)

How does one fix error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

http://www.essexinfo.net/queens-road-residents-association/assets/documents/village-voices is one example but a whole lot of the material which has been uploaded as pdf files over the last four years is now unviewable - if you click on the link you just get a black page. The main site url is http://www.essexinfo.net and our site is the Queens Road Residents Association. I have just gone through every link on the site and a number of links when clicked on will not bring up the material. I tried going into Adobe 10 on my computer and disenabling protected mode as was suggested on your forum and at first when I went back into the essex info site it seemed to have worked when I clicked on a link that had only produced a black page. However when I went back to test all the other links I found that the problem was still re-occuring. This is really weird as the site and my connections to it which I sometimes make by directly accessing the site and sometime via a link from our QRRA blog have always worked perfectly with no problems up to now. I downloaded adobe 10.1 on 8 March 2011.
I contacted essexinfo separately but they said everything seemed to be OK at their end working from within the system.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

I am using Adobe Reader Version 10.0.1 installed under Citrix XenApp 6.5 Windows 2008R2.

I don't know what this means. All I can suggest that you try updating your old Reader version to the latest (10.1.9 or 11.0.6).

There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

I have XP professional, IE 8, and Adobe Reader 9.3. When I try to open any pdf files from a web page I see the following error: "These is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again. "
Although, the web pdf rendering returns an error, I'm able to open pdf files locally.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I had similar problems with Windows XP SP3 and Adobe Reader 9.3 and I uninstalled AR 9.3 and went to:
http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ and installed Adobe Reader 8.3. No problems after that. However,
ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ posted this reply to one of my earlier posts. So, I don't know what to think...
