When I try to open a download PDF I get message to install Adobe Reader. I do it and get the same message already installed. I close Safari and reopen but get same message to install Adobe

You don't provide any details, but from the sound of it you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that does not use the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • When I try to open a downloaded PDF file it opens for about 6 seconds and then closes - how can I fix that?

    I am using a Dell XPS8500 desktop with 64 bit Windows 7.
    No problem downloading PDF files but when I open them they disappear before I can print.

    Hello,
    Which application are you trying to open the PDF files in? Firefox or Adobe Reader? Or another?
    If adobe reader then please make sure that your copy is up to date. You can get the latest version here - http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
    Also I notice that you are using Firefox 19. Unless you have a particular reason to run an old version of Firefox is it much better to keep updated. The latest version is v22. New security fixes are applied in every new version of Firefox. Without them your PC is vulnerable. Please see this article: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader and when I try to open a new pdf I get the Adobe logo and text in Japanese and the pdf doesn't open.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader for my MacBook Air and now when I try to open a new pdf I get the Adobe logo and text in Japanese and nothing else.  The pdf doesn't open.  Any suggestions?  I never had this problem until my cache was cleared and I had to re-install Adobe Reader.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Just to say I am having exactly the same issue on my MacBook Air.  I can't remember what I did but after this happened a few times, and once I had clicked on the Japanese pop up, I managed to do something that now means I get the pop up in English, saying 'Adobe Reader blocked for this website'.  When I click on it it asks me to trust the content and then I get a bar with the text in Japanese.  Eventually the pdf does open. However it's very irritating that I have to trust every pdf individually which I never had to do before the latest upgrade, and I don't understand why I get messages in Japanese.  I will be interested to see whatever answers other more technical people may provide!

    When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

    It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

  • When I try to open an embedded PDF file I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe.

    When I try to open an embedded PDF file (Word doc) I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe. That program is either not installed on your computer, or is corrupt..."  I've tried  about everything from unchecking
    protected mode at startup to removing & reinstalling Adobe.  Nothing seems to fix this issue.  Any other ideas?
    This is happening on Adobe reader 9, 10 & 11 with MS Word 2010 & 2013.  I've uninstalled, cleaned & reinstalled Reader 9, 10 & 11, as well as Acrobat 10 Pro & 11 Standard.  Removed "Protected mode at startup, and changed
    the default program for viewing from reader to Acrobat.  This will not go away.  It is affecting production at our company.

    " Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder" . i can't find open containing folder in profile directory. it does give me the option to open the places.sqlite file using graphic converter. when i try that, graphic converter gives me a window saying that it can't be opened because it is corrupted or is not a file type supported by graphic converter.
    i appreciate your help with a workaround to get the old bookmarks. that works. however, the problem has morphed from that concern to why adobe reader [the default app.] won't open firefox .sqlite files. is the problem in adobe reader or firefox? also, how can i tell if the places.sqlite file is corrupt?
    i'm getting in over my head here and do appreciate your help.

    When i try to upload a .mts file from my Sony camera to Premiere Pro CC it refuses to play the audio! Ofcourse i could convert every single clip but it takes tons of time. How can i make Pr play audio track properly?

    Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
    Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
    Did you source patch the audio tracks?

  • ITunes crashes when I try to open newly download version

    Hi. I downloaded the new iTunes update and when I try to open iTunes it Updates My iTunes Library and when it's 3/4ths of the way through updating iTunes freezes and then closes. What should I do.

    I figured this out. I deleted my old iTunes library archive/.xml files, then re-added everything and then when it froze one one particular song I removed that song and everything was fine. Rather tenuous and annoying way to fix this but sadly only way I could think of.

  • When I try to open up a PDF document, i get the following error message: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" AArrgh please help as I need to open up my documents. Thanks.

    When I open up a PDF Document all i get is an error message saying: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" I dont know how to fix this, so looking for some advice please, as I really need o open up my documents.
    Thank for any help.

    The documents I’m trying to read are already saved on my computer, under various different headings, I know that we have a server, so I only assume these documents are saved on here, as I said before I’m not good with all this techno stuff. I do my work each week ( on a payroll system) and save the documents for each company, they automatically go to the correct place. I never request for them to be saved in a certain place ( well not that I’m aware of) . I then on occasions need to open up this information, it is then that I can’t read or open the documents. We do have a tech help, but they are off sick until the 5th Jan, hence me trying to work out if I can fix this problem through this help site. Its ADOBE Reader that I’m trying to use.

    Part of me thinks that this doesn't actually have anything to do with mail. I had problems with Safari and Finder crashing every time I they tried to open a PDF. This was partially solved by installing Adobe Acrobat Reader and designating it as the default PDF veiwing app, but this option didn't appear when I ran Mail for the first time after installing Reader.
    At this point, I've repaired the disk and repaired permissions, but that's about as much as I know how to do. I'd be grateful for any help that anyone can offer.
    Thanks!

    Hi Sam.
    I don’t know what’s going on. I suggest reinstalling the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update (which you say you’ve already done), no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • When I try to open a downloaded software, a window says exe. is not a valid win32 application

    i downloaded skype update and when I click open a window pops saying C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\SkypeSetup(1).exe is not a win32 application

    What's the name of the file you are attempting to open?  Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"?  If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension.  Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

    Firefox crashes
    I have tried the following:
    - reinstall firefox
    - refresh firefox
    - start firefox in safe mode (still crashes)
    I have also tested in Windows safe mode and do not have the problem there. I believe this indicates that there is another piece of software that is causing the crash but I don't know how to identify which other piece of software it is.
    Firefox doesn't record these crashes in about:crashes so I have no log to share.
    I do have an Error from the Windows event viewer:

    Does if help if you check the security tab in the properties of the file and remove a possible internet protection?
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • I use CS6 and when I try to open a ai file from later version I'm told i must select a page from the PDF to open?

    I am following tutorials in Adobe Illustrator CC Classroom in a Book, but I use CS6. How can I open the lesson files to display correctly?

    I'm having further problems when I open these CC ai lesson files.

    I had not realized there would be such compatibility issues between CS6 and CC.
