Acrobat 8 Freezes can't no longer save pdf files or do anything else

Mac OS X 10.5.6 - Acrobat 8 Prof 8.1.4
I can no longer do anything on this application, I've been using this app for months already and I was able to save, save as, print, convert existing PDF as form. Everytime I open a PDF file and create a form from existing document it freezes even if I start from scratch, I can only view files, if I do something else it freezes and have to force to quit. Please help.
The only thing I have not try is unistalling and re-installing the application
Thanks!

Same here Suzie - on my Mac all I'm doing is creating a simple PDF from ID. When I alter it and export as PDF, saving to the desktop to overwrite the previous version it goes through the motions - then up comes this message.
If Bill is assuming correctly that you're on Windows then its a Mac OSX problem too.
Acrobat is dormant here - only ID open.

Can't View or save pdf files

Since this morning I can no longer view or save files on the website where I had no probs in the past. When I try to save I get the message "The File is Not valid", so it's not surprising can't view or save. I contacted the site & they tell me all works fine. Why should the file names change such that they can no longer work with Adobe reader?   The only changes are that I received a windows update (I am running Vista Home Basic) and I installed a new printer/scanner/copier (Epson NX130). Any suggestions please?

Thanks for taking the trouble to look at my problem, Michael.   I don't know to post a link to a file.
The files I want to view and save are located on the separate websites of 2 different share registries.   I used to be able to do this, but now can't.   When I try to "Save As ....." I can't because the files show up as a non-pdf file, a specific example of such a filename is: "PaymentAdvice?Paymentkey=AGKHAINTJUN12,109011151746,1,1".   I rang both of the 2 share registries who confirmed that I should not have the problem I am experiencing.
Looking at other threads, some folk have got things to work when the went back to Adobe 9 instead of 10. Any thoughts?

Can't preview or save pdf files with Firefox 5

Ever since I updated to Firefox 5, I've been unable to preview/save pdf documents in websites. One example is the Citibank website.
Is there any plug-in you would recommend? I would prefer if it's a freeware. Thanks.

Can't print or save PDF files to hard drive after upgrading to Adobe Reader 10.1.3

I upgraded to Adobe Reader 10.1.3 on my Mac with OS X 10.7.3. I can open PDF files on Internet, but can neither print them nor save them to my hard drive.

I had the same problem and stumbled by accident on an odd way how to save the PDF file.
After the PDF file is visible, press the key escape “esc”. A new toolbar above the PDF file will appear. Press the “disc” icon next to the “printer” icon. A window drops down, and now you can save the PDF file in your download folder.

Why can I no longer print pdf files?

So, I had Vista and updated last night to Windows 7 Professional. I did this because I have been unable to print pdf files for the past 8 to 9 months and got tired of forwarding to another computer to print. Prior to that, no issues printing from any program including reader. In the meantime, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader at least 4 times. Checked all my settings (won't even print as image only) and I still get blank pages. When I choose print my computer performs the funtion, but the Adobe "progress" bar doesn't count up from 1 to 100 numerically. It starts at 1 and then jumps to 50 or 100. My printer initializes and then nothing but blank pages. I don't know what else to try so any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, plain old English would be helpful. I used to be good at this, but...now just ok.
Thanks in advance

I do not need advice!
I have given up.
I can C I'm having it easy compared to every one else in here.
My pdf fioles need 10-15 over and over prints and still it's no good.
Reading all this stuff is soo exhausting.
And now I spend hours looking and adjusting stuff to print a pdf file.
I'm not in Grade 8!
I just had to say this, Sorry.

Can't print or save pdf files in saferi 6 running ml

cant save or print pdf files in safari 6 after upgrading to mountain lion

You don't need an Adobe plug-in to view PDFs in Safari, that functionality is built in. I'm guessing that your Adobe Reader plugin (or some other PDF-related plug-in) is incompatible with ML. Try disabling it. First, open Safari's preferences window and look at the Extensions pane. Is there anything PDF-related there? If so, disable it. Next, look in the following folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/
(Yes, those are the same except for the tilde. The first one is at the root level of your hard drive, the second is in your user folder. That one is invisible, so hold down the option key and choose Library from the Finder's Go menu to go there.)
If you see anything related to Adobe PDF Viewer or Reader, remove it and restart Safari.

I can no longer save PDF files to documents

Until recently, I could download a bank statement, for instance, and save it to a folder on my hard drive. Now when I try to do this I can only save to online file. And today, I was told I was out of memory. I do not have a paid plan. I don't want to save or share these documents online, I do want to keep them on my computer like I have in the past. Any suggestions?

Without any details it's impossible to even guess what your problem could be.

Acrobat X plugin running in Browser cannot save pdf files locally

Hi,
I have a Digital Signature plugin written for Acrobat X and it handles both signature creation and verification. When a PDF with digital signatures is opened in a browser (specifically IE8, IE9) acrobat X runs in browser mode and it calls our digital signature plugin. Our plugin then saves the online PDF to local disk using the following Acrobat X SDK method:
PDDocSave()
This normally works fine without any problems under windows 7. However, there are some cases where the PDF does not get saved at all. In that case, if we try running Internet Explorer using "Run as admin", saving starts to work again. From this we have concluded that the saving functionality of our plugin requires Internet Explorer to be run as admin.
Problem is that, for users without admin rights this behavior is not ideal.
We have also noted that, if we try to save the PDF opened in a browser using the default save feature of acrobat X, then the save goes through successfully.
Question is, how can we make our plugin to save the pdf the same way acrobat X does when run under browsers? What options do we have?
My system specs: Windows 7 64bit, Acrobat X v.10.1.4 (occurs in 10.1.1 through 10.1.4), IE9.
Thanks in advance.

My question is then how is acrobat itslef able to save the same pdf locally at the same destination without any problems. I am assuming it is using the same save api itself.
If acrobat itself can do it, why cant a plugin running inside acrobat X.
And if the plugin cannot achieve the same behavior as acrobat then can we conclude that for a digital signature plugin running inside acrobat X which is running in browser mode to open a PDF:
- Acrobat X itself and the plugins which run inside it behave differently when saving an online pdf locally. And there is no way for the plugin to achieve the same behavior as acrobat itself in this regard.
- There is no way (either programmatically or otherwise) for the digital signature plugins, to save online PDFs locally, without either running the browser 'as admin' or adding the website, hosting the online PDF, to Trusted websites list of acrobat X.
- User of acrobat X plugin has to either run the browser 'as admin' or add the pdf hosting website to Trusted websites list to save the opened PDF locally.
Please confirm if my conclusions are right. And in cases they aren't please explain why. Thanks for you prompt replys.

Can't open or save PDF files from websites from Firefox 4.0

Upgraded to FF4 recently. Now when I click on a link to a PDF in a web site to open with PDF Viewer, get an error message saying PDF Viewer could not repair file. With Adobe Reader 9.4, I get a message saying There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. No problems opening PDFs from IE9. Is this a bug in FF4? Should I go back to FF3?

After going through your mail i have realised that I had to go through the same problem once as I could not open word file in MS word.As I am not quite an expert regarding computer related matter one of my friend advised me to seek help from supportonclick and as I did so it just took a moment to get rid off the problem. As you have tried a number solve the problem I suggest you to seek their support and I hope it will help you to get out of this hazards.All the best.

Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder. Restart Safari. If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
Thanks. This was the solution for me.

Can no longer open PDF files in Safari 7 using Mavericks - help??

I cannot open PDF files on my iMac - not sure why - I am using Safari 7 & have downloaded Mavericks - it says I have to launch Acrobat 8 and agree to terms (or some such thing) Please help. How do you make Reader 9 the default for opening pdf's? Help?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Can no longer open PDF files from my emails sent from other websites. Problem seems to correlate with automatic upgrade of free adobe software (from version 11 to Reader DC)?

Can no longer open PDF files from my emails sent from other websites. Problem seems to correlate with automatic upgrade of free adobe software (from version 11 to Reader DC)?

To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:
1. Quit Internet Explorer(any other browser)
2. Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
3. Choose Edit > Preferences.
4. Select Internet in the list on the left.
5. Deselect(Uncheck) Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.
6. Restart Internet Explorer

SAFARI CAN'T OPEN PDF'S ?
I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02. It worked fine up until 2 weeks ago. The pdf's open in Foxfire and Chrome browsers.
I can also download the pdf and open in acrobat directly. Safari only shows the file as ASCII characters.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
