Unable to open PDF's "User Cancelled Operation"

Since Adobe Reader updated to XI, I have been unable to open any PDF files on my computer.  Every time I try to open a PDF file or open Adobe Reader from the start menu it takes forever to load the program and before it finishes loading i get an error screen "User cancelled operation" I hit OK it closes the program.
I'm Using Windows 7
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I have tried all the other options that I can, that I have found in the forums

Hi Orkward84
Can you please provide the following details:
1. Are you able to launch just the Reader from Start menu->All programs? If yes, can you please try opening a pdf from File->Open menu. What happens, do you get the same error or the file opens?
2. Can you please share a sample pdf file that you are facing issue with
3. Since when did you start facing this issue ? When did you update your Reader to version XI?
Regards,
Rohit

    Unable to open PDF directly if user use Acrobat 8.
    We are facing some problems in our production site. When user click PDF icon, "FileDownload" windows pops up, but it only has "Save" or "Cancel" button, so user needs to download and save the file to open.
    I tested the following scenario using
    We have facing problem with this visions IE 6.0 – Acrobat 8.0 and IE7.0 – Acrobat 8.0.
    Mozilla 2.0 – acrobat 8.0 working fine. The pdf contents are embedding fine the browser window
    Does anyone have any experience with something of this nature?

    I must have missed the announcement - when did these forums change from Java language to IE/Adobe/Mozilla forums?

  • User Cancelled Operation

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but a discussion search didn't find it...
    Using Acrobat 9 Pro...with an open document, clicking File/Attach to Email...opens Groupwise 8, attaches the document fine and I send...no problem.  Then close Groupwise, leaving "User Cancelled Operation" box open in Acrobat 9.  Doesn't seem to be any adverse problems caused by this error, but how can I prevent it from happening?

    If they are using Reader and you have requested the full PDF submission, this may be the problem. Why not try just the data submission and see if that helps. The data can simply be imported into the form on your end.

  • Adobe Reader 11 is unable to open PDF's from Internet Explorer 11

    My boss is currently operating on the Adobe Reader 11 and often needs to use Internet Explorer 11 for certain programs.
    Unfortunately the Adobe Reader is unable to open PDFs from Internet Explorer and often comes up with a message telling us that the file is either damaged, no longer exists or that there is a problem with the syntax.  She does not have this problem with Google Chrome.  We have tried several ideas regarding the security settings but nothing seems to correct the problem.  Could someone shed some light on how to fix this error?

  • Unable to open pdf files on my IMac I have downloaded

    Unable to open PDF Files on my IMac I have installed the latest Adobe Reader still no joy when I try to open any PDF File from a site I just get an empty black
    page.

    Is it only ones you have downloaded? What about for example the ones that came with your iMac - you didn't give a model but mine has a folder "User Guides and Information" that has a number of pdfs. Spotlight should find it for you.

  • Unable to open PDFs with AR 11.0.9 on MacBook Pro due to updates.

    Beginning in early Sept. 2014, unable to open PDFs from trusted sources on MacBookPro (MBP) OS 10.9.4 running current AR 11.0.9. Previously, these documents could be downloaded and opened. Interestingly, an iMAC running OS 10.7.5 running AR 10.1.2 can download and open these PDFs. PDFs created by MBP or received via email can be opened. AR on MBP has been uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Suggestions? Please ... no "go insert this code" responses.

    Hi MBP User,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall. Is this issue reproducible on other machines, if you have around you.

    Using a trial version of Acrobat X1 I am unable to open pdfs from Firefox. Solution?

    Which operating system?
    Have you tried using other browsers?

  • I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it. Still have the problem with Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then?  That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

  • Unable to open PDF in Web Browser and delay for printing

    In my LAN, on several PCs running with Windows 7 (32 and 64 bits), I observe two problems with "Acrobat Reader XI":
    - Delays / unable to open pdf files in the web browser (Internet Explorer).
    - Delays in printing: for example it takes over 8 minutes to print a pdf file: 400kB for two pages (on different printers / models).
    Here's the list of actions that I've allready tried to issue those problems:
    For the Web Browser problem :
    - Repair the "Acrobat Reader XI" installation.
    - Uninstalling and Installing Acrobat Reader.
    - In the web browser, disabling and activating the add-on (Adobe PDF Reader).
    - Uninstall "Acrobat Reader XI" and install "Acrobat Reader X"
    Temporary issue: downgrade to "Acrobat Reader 9", which solves the problem with the web browser.
    For the printing delay:
    - Repair the "Acrobat Reader XI" installation
    - Change the printers drivers (install Universal Drivers PCL)
    - Check the box: "Print As Image" before printing
    Any Idea ?

    You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\nppdf32.dll
