Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.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)."  I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

  • Why won't adobe reader open my jpeg files?

    why won't adobe reader 11 open my jpeg files?

    Hi Nassman,
    Adobe Reader is a read only software for PDF files. JPEG is not a supported format which would open in Adobe Reader. You would need to open Jpeg in application which supports this file format.(e.g. Photoshop, Picture Viewer, MS Paint)
    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.

  • Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

    I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder.  I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me.  I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more.  This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

    Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

    The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

    Why won't Adobe open a Pdf? Why do I pay for a service that will not open a pdf?

    Maybe you could supply us with more details about what exactly you are doing, how you are doing and what you are using to do it.
    The reason I say this is because you are in the forum for Adobe Reader which is a FREE application and not a service.

  • Why won't Adobe accept my Serial No. for Elements 10?

    Hi MarBain,
    Can you please tell on which OS you are trying to install Elements?
    There might be a possibility that you are using Windows only Serial Number on MAC.

  • Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Here's one of my responses from Verizon:
    Dear Kevin,
    Good Afternoon; I know how frustrating it is to want a new phone, and be told that you are not eligible to upgrade early. My name is Shane, and I will be assisting you today regarding your most recent email.
    I am sorry to say that it is not possible for us to do the upgrade. We most certainly don’t want to lose a valued customer, but we can’t break our contract with Apple. If we did this for you, we would have to do it for everyone. If we did this for everyone we would risk losing our contract with Apple, and not be able to sell iPhones at all. I understand it is a savings to cancel your contract with us, and move to another provider we certainly don’t want you to do that, but that is an option for you.
    Kevin, I am sorry that we were not able to give you the resolution you were wanting. I do appreciate you being a valued Verizon Wireless customer, and I hope you have a good day!
    Sincerely,
    Shane
    Verizon Wireless

  • Why won't Adobe FrameMaker 11 generate PDF?

    Why won't Adobe FrameMaker 11 generate a PDF?

    I was working on this problem a few months ago, but my workload made me simply use the FM 11 and FM 7.2 on my old XP PC. I now REALLY need to find time to focus on the FM 11 and Adobe tech comm suite on my Win 7 Professional PC. I "forced" myself to work on this today.
    Here are answers to your questions:
    I was trying to "save book as" PDF and it starts as if generating PDF with Distiller, but tps file is zero bytes. NO error messages. No, I never had to have Adobe PDF printer as the FM default printer in the past. But I just tried it with Adobe PDF as default printer, and it didn't work. Used RGB mode. Job option = "Standard". Yes, I checked for FM updates and it says there are none and that 11.0.2.384 is the latest version.
    I am most frustrated and have tried everything. I have worked with FrameMaker for 15 years, and I thought I understood it well. But this has me stumped.
    About two months ago, I took the PC to the office (I normally work from home but go there about once a month for meetings at the Dallas office) and sat with my PC side-by-side with the other technical writer. Compared what happened, and we were both stumped. I need to go back and do that again. My inclination is to uninstall Adobe Tech Comm Suite 4 and selective install only FM 11 with Distiller. Then I can go back and selectively install RoboHelp 10 for HTML help.
    I REALLY appreciate your willingness to help. I am not sure what to do next. THANK YOU very much for responding. Like I said, I think I need another session at the office to compare notes step-by-step; I think it has something to do with the PDF printer/converter, but not sure why it works on other writer's PC and not mine. I might have to make time and call Adobe to see whether they can remotely access my PC and try to assist. But that assumes they have some expert available who REALLY understands this software.
    Thanks again.

  • Why won't adobe touch for ios not load all my pictures?

    Why won't adobe touch for ios not load all my pictures?

    Hi. As a workaround you can enable "Always use native photo browsers"  in the PS Touch settings. It's listed under "Preferences" -> "Access Local Photos setting". See attached screenshot

  • Why won't Adobe Premiere Elements launch?

    Hi. Okay so recently I ordered Adobe Premiere Elements from Amazon. As soon as I got it I followed the installation process. Immediately I had issues with it freezing up during the installation. After trying to install several times it finally went through; but I still have a problem. Everytime I open the program it comes to the menu screen and does not open the video editing section. I have uninstalled and reinstalled so many times and I'm very upset with it. Is there any way I can get it working?                   
                                                                                                                                                                                         Thanks,
                                                                                                                                                                                                    Stephanie.

    Without system information nobody can know. This could be anything from permissions issues when creating the caches/ organizer database or a virus scanner or something blocking this stuff to mundane graphics issues in which case you'd simply update the graphics driver.

  • Clip notes no longer works with latest version of reader.

    I understand that a security issue made Adobe upgrade Reader so that clip notes produced in Premiere CS3 would no longer play. This is a known issue. The fix is posted on this forum and it recommends upgrading to Premiere CS4. However  I get the same problem as I did in Premiere CS3 i.e. clip notes is blocked by the latest version of Reader This has occured after spending a huge amount on the upgrade. Nice one Adobe what a con! I have tried to contact adobe customer support but I can not speek Punjabe and they can not speek English. What a waste of money!
    Does anyone know of a fix.

    Aaron,
    See if this works for you: Clip Notes Review PrPro CS4

  • Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.

    Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.

    So there are no apps at all on your home screens? Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you don't see anything after that, take a look at all of your home screens and folders to see if something is hidden. It that doesn't work, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
