8 Professional will not open if Reader is open
I have been having issues opening documents in Acrobat Pro for a little while but it seemed to be intermittent. What I hadn't noticed until today is that the problem depends on whether I have Reader open or not at the time I'm trying to use Professional. What seems to be happening is that, if I have a document open in Acrobat Reader then I can't open Professional. If I go to the start menu and choose Acrobat Professional it does nothing. If I right click on a document in Explorer and choose to open in Acrobat Professional, it opens in Reader.
I realise there are ways around this, but it's annoying.
If Reader or Acrobat are running and you attempt to start either, the startup will be directed to the already running version.
If you want, instead, to start a new instance, add the /n command line switch. For example, make a copy of the shortcut to Acrobat Pro, edit the shortcut via Properties, and add /n after the name of the .exe.
This will always start a new instance. It will not affect launch via double-click or browser. You can also get into trouble as preferences and settings may not be synchronized between running instances in different windows as you might expect.

DPP digital photo professional will not open images in folder
I have a number of subject folders of vintage photographs from my father and his father, pro's and published. The images were scanned (Canon, of course!) and subsequently adjusted and manipulated for levels, cropping, and gray scale to eliminate yellow paper color, etc.
I have several folders that DPP will NOT open, just placeholders with a big X on it with the full file name. I cannot see any reason some folders would load without issue, others don't . There is no probablem with any other graphics program. Oh, Windows 7.
I really need to be able to have this work right for my business. DPP is the only program I've found that will make excelletn contact sheets/index sheets that allows full control of the printer so I can custome set and do duplex printing. Easy Photo Print also makes nice index sheets, but with absolutely no printer control or options. Bzzzzzt.
Thanks, PaulI didn't post it in Printer discussions, I believe I put it in Software.
"Get something else." Wow! Want insight! You mean like Nikon, Sony, or Panasonic?
In fact, I DID already say that I "got something else," Xnview.
It is indeed under the General Printer Discussion on my side of the site! Check the top of the page.
Get something else meant software not brand. How did you draw that conclusion?
Unless you have me totally confused, it sounds like you want a file management program not a photo editing/ printing program.
DPP is photo editing/printing software designed to be used with Canon cameras and printers. It will open those file types. Mybe it will open others I don't use it that way since it is not it's purview.

Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8
We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
Help!Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
8.
When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader. -

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.
I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.
Thanks

my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly. Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!The joys of Microsoft!
Maybe the preferences file is corrupted. You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
your user name/Library/Preferences
Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again.
If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem. You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

My reader will not open a PDF file that I have downloaded from a government web site (an application form) - it states that the file is not good. I can open on the web site but not from my mac computer.

@Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache.
This is the Photoshop forum however.
Close Lightroom and go to your Lightroom catalog folder.
The default location is usually in Pictures.
Delete the file in the catalog folder which ends Previews.lrdata
Do not touch the catalog itself which ends.lrcat
Then try re-launching Lightroom. -

Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.
