    Hi lawalton,
    Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
    I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.
    Best,

  • I can't open pdf with adobe reader

    I had to download Adobe reader to open a PDF.
    Now I can't open the PDF and get a message that I must accept Adobe conditions forst which I did when installing it.
    I notice that it is a problem across different platforms all with Adobe reader.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks

    Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go.
    If you see the:  AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
    Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

  • Corrupted .pst files due to mistakenly trying to open them with Adobe Reader

    This is a second post re the same problem, as I previously got only one response (from B. Alheit), which asked me to identify my operating system. I am beyond desperate to get this problem fixed.
    As described previously (S Giraffe - 11/14), I was about to apply an email recovery program to some .pst files when, somehow (late at night/tired), I inadvertently clicked "Open with Adobe Reader." Then the disaster! The Adobe Reader logo appeared on the .pst file's icon - and also on every other .pst file in my Documents folder. When I tried to open them I got the following error message:
    "Adobe Reader could not open 'Outlook (_).pst' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged."
    I went back to my exernal hard drive to again decompress the original backup files, but these, too, all had the Adobe Reader logo on their icons and brought the same error message. How could trying to open ONE .pst file with Adobe Reader have affected every other .pst file on my C drive and in my external hard drive???
    I need to recover my emails and contacts! Can anyone tell me anything that would enable me to correct whatever Adobe Reader did to my .pst files and get them back to their former state. I would be immensely appreciative.

    Adobe Reader didn't "do" anything to your PST file, but you probably changed the file association by leaving "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" checked.
    What you need to do is to reset the file association from Adobe Reader, and change it e.g. to SCANPST.EXE
    If you have a recent system restore point (before the file association changed), restore that save point.  If not, you need to change it manually (either in the registry, or by opening the PST file with SCANPST.EXE, and again check "Always use the selected program...".

  • Pdf file opens only with Adobe Reader

    I have a pdf file that I received that I can only view with Adobe reader. Every Mac application including Preview and every other one that should handle pdf shows a page that looks like a web page and says "Please wait" and some other stuff about if you are not redirected to your page you may not be able to open this type of file. Adobe reader (latest version) can open the file just fine.
    Is there some reason why the Apple programs cannot open this file? Has Adobe done something to this file to lock out Apple software? Is there some incompatibility with the latest Adobe file version for pdfs?

    I have created the pdf files using txTextControl.ServerTextControl
    The additional space after the "w" is a result of charaster spacing, there is no whitespace in pdf file after "w"
    If i open the same pdf in some other pdf reader like Sumatra pdf reader, it gets opened without any white space after "w".
    However, there is no space after the "w" in the PDF document, its the adobe  reader issue.

  • Firefox not opening PDF with Adobe Reader for Mac

    I can't open PDF in Firefox with Adobe Reader for Mac, what should i do?

    I have come across this problem, but i have solved my problem. The default PDF viewer with Firefox browser on Mac is Preview, so you can't use adobe reader to open PDF files, if you want to use Adobe Reader to open pdf with Firefox on mac, you need set adobe reader as your mac's default pdf viewer. Do as follows:
    1. Select any PDF file and choose File > Get Info.
    2. Choose Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer from the Browser in Download Action window.
    3. Click OK to set Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer.

  • Why are there free fonts included with Adobe Reader?

    I noticed that there is a folder with free Adobe fonts included with Adobe Reader. The fonts are Courier Std, Minion Pro and Myriad Pro.
    Why are these fonts included? Will these fonts be included with future versions of Adobe Reader?

    The fonts are only for use with Adobe Reader. You should not attempt to use them for any other purpose. They are included with software that is free of charge, but still subject to license and may not be copied to other systems...
    All versions of Adobe Reader have included some fonts, but they change.
    They are mainly there to help Adobe Reader show PDF files that do not embed fonts, to generate substitutions in a wide range of sizes and shapes.

  • I am trying to open a file that was e-mailed to me in the PDF format, when I click on it, the icon shows ''connecting'', but doesn't open the file are allow me to save it to my computer so I can open it with Adobe Reader, what else can I do??

    My suppliers e-mail me a copy of my monthly statements which is so much better than using snail mail, but since I have started using Mozilla Firefox, I can't seem to get them to open nor will it allow me to save them to my computer. Do you have any idea why this would do this??

    Hi brendalynn6,
    Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why can I not open anything I download?

    Everything I try to open a download the option menu never gives me the option to open anything i have downloaded.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I can only access saved photos in PSE, they are on my hard drive but I can't have them printed and can only look at them in PSE! Why can't I do anything with the photos after I worked them up and saved them?

  • If I made a brochure with Adobe InDesign CS3, can I still open it with Adobe InDesign CS2?

    Can it open it perfectly?

    There is persistent confusion over the Creative Suite version numbers.
    Indesign CS2 (version 4.0) is three versions newer than Indesign 1.0
    (which was not part of any Creative Suite). You're not going to be able
    to do anything with Indesign 1.0 (or 1.5) except open Indesign 1.0 (or
    1.5) files.
    Indesign 1.0 came out in 1999, and the Indesign 1.5 upgrade came out in
    2001. Indesign CS2 came out in 2005. Your files are less than three
    years old, but you want to be able to open them with 10-year-old software.
    The only way you're going to be able to open ID CS2 files is if you get
    your hands on ID CS2 (version 4), CS3 (version 5), or CS4 (version 6).

  • I have a pdf that i can not get to print and I can only open it with Adobe Reader.

    I have a pdf that will only open in Adobe Reader.  I need to print it but when I try, I keep getting the message "Before you can preform .....you must install a printer."  I have several printers networked to this machine.  They all have up to date drivers.  I've tried changed the default printer.  I must print this document and am getting very frustrated.  I am on a Windows 7 PC.

  • Why can't I open files with Reader X??

    I received an auto update request about one week ago from ADOBE.  I had 9.4 (I think) at the time and the request took to me to Reader X 10.1.1.
    Since then, I cannot seem to open PDF files stored in my document library, nor attach any files to emails. When I click one.....nothing happens.  They files are all solid white rather than showing the red/white coloration of Adobe - like they used to before the "upgade". The only way I can open a PDF is to launch the Reader X software and click "open files" from there.  Obviously, this doesn't help me since I need to email PDFs to clients, and printing 'n faxing isn't an option.
    Here's what I've done before so as to avoid repetitive suggestions:
    1.  Uninstalled and reinstalled (more than 1/2 dozen time).  I restarted the PC in between both fuctions. Didn't work.
    2.  Tried to fall back to 9.4 after uninstalling.  Didn't work.
    3,  System restore.  Done for (3) different dates proceeeding the update to 10.1.  Didn't work.
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
    Thanks in advance.....

    You don't need Adobe Reader to email PDFs to clients.
