Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?  I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
A.   Deleting  Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
Is this the ideal solution---NO.  Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

  • Black Sabbath "13" Digital Booklet pdf Will Not Open in Adobe Reader

    I recently purchased the new Black Sabbath 13 (Deluxe Version) album in iTunes and the pdf digital booklet will not open in Adobe Reader. I only get errors saying the file is either not supported, or is damaged. Any suggestions?

  • PDF does not open in Adobe Reader 7

    I am working on a  project where we create PDF documents with FOP. The generated PDFs open in  Version 6, 8 and 9 but NOT 7! We get an error
    "There was a problem  reading this document(114)" The document is partially rendered and disappears  when you scroll down etc.  I need to know is there a setting specific to Acrobat  7 that is causing this or is there something in the XSL mark-up that Acrobat 7  does not like. I am really under pressure for a fix on this one so any help or  assistance is greatly appreciated.
    I have also posted this to the acrobat forum apologies But Desperate!

    Apache Fop http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ takes an xml file and combines with an xsl stylesheet to create a PDF. (Although we are using a .net verion FONET). This is a problem with Adobe Reader 7.0. I cannot upload a file since the material is highly confidential (a criminal record!) I can confirm that this has been tested on several machines. The PDF is valid and can be opened in Adobe Reader versions 6, 8, 9 and Foxit but not Reader 7. I can only assume that there is something in the generated PDF that Reader 7 does not like and perhaps this is a bug since the PDF can be opened in earlier and later verions but not 7!

  • Pdf files not opening in Adobe Reader

    As of 3weeks ago, all of my Pdf files are opening in Corel X3. How can I fix this?

    the uninstall and re-install may work, but i'm not sure that it's the "easiest" way.  it's not difficult, and it's good to know in general how to "associate" a program with a certain type of file as noted above.  that approach is more "universal" and "applicable" for nearly all future needs.
    That may be correct for advanced users, especially if they know that they may also need to re-associate other Adobe Reader file types such as FDF, PDFX, PDX, etc.

  • Pdfs will not open in Adobe Reader 10.1.0 with os 10.6.8

    I have an iMac, Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8 and Adobe REader 10.1. When I click on a pdf to open, all I get is the QuickTime icon, which opens the 1st page only, but when I try to print even that page, it is blank.
    I have tried dumping the AdobePDFViewer plugin from the Internet Plug Ins as indicated below, to no avail.
    [file://localhost/Library/Internet%20Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin/]
    This has been SOOOOO frustrating. When I called Adobe, they want to charge me $39.99 to talk to a technician! Since their download for the Reader is "free," I find it objectionable, to say the least, that they have the audacity to want to charge me on a "free" application program!
    I'm ready to change to an alternative Reader, if their is such a thing, if anyone out there has a suggestion for that kind of program. I would really like to solve the mystery of why my Adobe pdfs won't open, however. This problem has been going on for about 2 weeks now, since August 7th.
    Thanks.

    Select a PDF file, CMD+I, check the Open With section, and ensure that AR is selected. If not, then select it and click on the Change All button. Alternatively, select Preview, which is my default PDF reader.

  • Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

    On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
    She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
    The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
    Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
    Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
    Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
    But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC.  It is not on my PC.
    Thanks for your help.

    The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1.  It is named Adobe Reader XI.
    I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
    But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
    I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message.  As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there.   I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now.  Problem solved.
    Thanks for your help.

  • PDF is not opening after Adobe Reader's upgrade to version X

    Hello there!
    Please I'm having a trouble relating to Adobe Reader I hope you can help me
    Today I was asked to upgrade Adobe Reader to X version. Sure enough I did it
    The problem is that now when I try to open a pdf file I get the message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item", as it shows in the following picture:
    I'm using Windows Vista 32 bits. I've googled this issue and nothing of what I found was helpful
    I'm the Administrator of this machine and had pdf opening normally before this upgrade.
    Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problemm ?
    Thanks very much in advance
    Willian

    Hello!
    Thank you very much for your reply!
    Well, I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it's still not working at all
    But what I did that saved me from this issue was installing Adobe Reader version 8 (9 didn't work as well oO!)
    And now it's working kinda fine with 8 version (I still get the same error message, but it opens afterwards so that's fine lol)
    Well, thank you for trying to help me, I really apreciate it!

  • Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...

    Dear all,
    Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.

    you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • Form will not open with adobe reader when using chrome and mozilla

    The form opens fine in internet explorer, but when opened with chrome and mozilla it says that parts of the document could not be displayed and the 'submit form' and 'print' functions do not work? how do I get it so that the forms open with adobe reader as a pdf automatically instead of opening in another search engine tab?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Chrome and Firefox use their default PDF viewers instead of Adobe Acrobat / Reader and hence most PDFs will not be fully functional in those.
    For that you just need to change the settings :-
