Acrobat/Acrobat Reader Conflict?

When clicking on a PDF file in Firefox, I get this error:
Cannot use Adobe Reqader to view PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again.
If I click the OK button, the PDF file continues to open just fine in Acrobat.
Since I have Acrobat 8 Standard installed, do I need to uninstall the Adopbe Reader to prevent this? I'm not even suyre where Adobe Reader came from - I didn't think I'd need it if I owned Acrobat 8 Standard. But now tat it's there, I don't want to uninstall i if ther4e are reasons I need it.

Thanks! I'm off to uninstall the reader now.
That seemed to fix it right up, and Acrobat seems to be running fine, too ... no need to reinstall it. :-)
Thanks!
Bill

Acrobat 5 and reader conflict

I have acrobat 5.0 loaded along with Acrobat reader 9.0.
However whenever I am in any web browser, IE or Firefox, whenever I
try to open a PDF on a web site, it begins to open 5.0 and states"
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be uset ot view PDF
files in a Web Browser". Short of deleting 5.0, how can I fix
this?

Thank you for this Post.
However for any Adobe Desktop Products related issues kindly
refer our Adobe user to user forums (

) or else contact Adobe tech support.

How do I open a pdf on a web page in Safari without Acrobat Reader?

At the moment I have removed Acrobat Reader 10.3.1 because it conflicts with Safari. Preview is a perfectly fine pdf reader (and with lots of very nice features) but I don't see how I can make Preview open a pdf from a web page until it has been downloaded to file. And I have found at least one site that will not download to file before opening.

Right-click in the PDF when it's displayed in Safari and select Open with Preview from the popup menu. Depending on how the PDF is embedded in the web page, this may not be possible.

Adobe Acrobat Reader's slow printing

I had this same problem with Tiger when I first got a printer server for my printer (HP Laserjet 1200) but I fixed it by selecting another driver. Basically what happens is that takes like 5 minutes to print the first page, and after the first page it stops and waits a few minutes to print the next page. This only happens for Adobe Acrobat Reader but it prints like normal on Preview and Office. I've tired selecting other drivers, another protocols (Appletalk, IP, Windows), removing and adding the printer again, updating and downgrading drivers, but nothing seems to work.
My little brother (on a iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo and Leopard) also has the same problem.
Does anyone else have the same problem or knows how to fix this?

Adobe indicates that Adobe Reader 8.1.1 requires an update to be fully compatible with OS X 10.5. They are estimating the update will be ready in January, 2008. See http://www.adobe.com/go/leopardfaq They do not indicate what conflicts there are.

Adobe Acrobat Reader for IPad2

Please help me because I'm going nuts. Government Canada keeps asking that I upgrade to latest Version of Adobe and will not let me print forms or fill online forms.
I've reloaded latest IPad app yet get the same message.
Has the newest version of Adobe Acrobat reader got any conflict issues? Is there an older version that will work? Or am I doing something wrong all of a sudden? Up until a few weeks ago I could open PDF files in Acrobat. Now, sadly, no more!!!
I would really appreciate your help with this.

Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows XP

I just uninstalled my Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0, which apparently never got updated and did not work, and now I need to choose a later version compatible with Windows XP; however, I'm not sure if my older software can handle the latest version or not. Which version should I use? I'm not technically that savvy but know a few things! Thanks!

I cannot answer you a second time on your last reply in the forum, so am using email. I wanted to mark your answer as correct so you'd get points and can do nothing. I'm a new member.
The great news is I did get Adobe Reader installed this morning, (as I had to work on getting the Windows SP3 running yesterday.) All your info was excellent! Thank you so much again.
Other problems have arisen: I can only manually open a pdf attachment to emails by manually bringing up Adobe Reader rather than clicking on the attachment and automatically viewing the pdf screen. The older version opened it automatically in Firefox, so I don't think it's a Firefox problem, but could be since I'm a novice.
I've done everything possible to troubleshoot this, taking an extra day to update other software, to no avail. It now will not comply with all the automatic commands for my homepage, Intel pro-set wireless, and I cannot disable a dosearch.com toolbar I never saw before. I have AVG 2014 but with the sp3 McAfee security; possibly they conflict. All my updates for everything I can find are current. It just may be time to take this pc to the shop.

Cannot get Acrobat Reader or Pro to open PDF IN FF browser

I have a Win7, 64 bit laptop. I have Acrobat Pro X, and Acrobat Reader 11.
I cannot get FF to open a pdf using either of these readers INSIDE the browser. I do not like the internal PDF viewer and I was trying to get Acrobat to render the PDF in the browser. However, whenever I choose acrobat (either one) in options, it will merely download it and open it the application. However, what I want it to do is to open it IN the browser, not in the application.
There is no option for Portable Document Format that includes Acrobat in browser. I had configured it to work properly, but I had to reformat my computer and I can't get it to work again. I have disabled and re-enabled the add-ins for Acrobat, and I still can't get it to work.

Which version(s) of Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat do you have? Do you know whether they are up-to-date? I recommend using the product's Help menu to Check for Updates to make sure they are up-to-date.
Then open the Firefox Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* 3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
Look in the lower section (gray background) for "Adobe Acrobat" and change it from "Never Activate" to "Always Activate".
Then it should become available in the Options dialog.
Does it work?
Also, I noticed you have a NitroPDF plugin listed in your More System Details. In case that one is conflicting, if you don't plan to use it, consider switching it to "Never Activate" when you are on the Add-ons page.

Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

Acrobat Professional 9 and Acrobat Reader 9: cannot update, remove, or re-install ...

After I have downloaded Acrobat Professional 9.0 updates and Acrobat Reader 9 updates, both update installations fail.
Acrobat Reader 9 problems
I thought that there could be a conflict between Acrobat Reader 9, which I have also installed, and Acrobat Professional 9.0, so I tried to remove Acrobat Reader 9, but the patch package could not be found. I then ran the Windows Install Cleanup tool, but Acrobat Reader 9 is still on my system. I now cannot reinstall it, nor can I really remove it
I’d like to remove Acrobat Reader 9 entirely because I already have Acrobat Professional 9.0, but how?
Acrobat Professional 9.0 problems
When I try to remove Acrobat Professional 9.0 in order to re-install it from disk, I get the message that the patch package could not be found. When I insert the disk to try to repair Acrobat Professional 9.0, I get the message that the patch package could not be opened. When I try to use the Repair Acrobat Installation option in the Help menu of the program, nothing happens.
I’m hesitant to run the Windows Install Cleanup tool on Acrobat Professional 9.0 because of the problems I got with Acrobat Reader 9 after running the Windows Install Cleanup tool.
How can I re-install Acrobat Professional 9.0 from disk?

Amanda,
As Van says, yes you can have both seleced at the same time. I suspect there are other issues on your machine that are creating your problems. FWIW, I too have been running FM9 on a win7 64-bit platform with no issues.
The Roaming Profile is used typicaly with remote logins across a WAN (wide area network), however, application specific gets stored there - depending upon the application. Since you've seemed to have resolved the issue by deleting (or disabling the profile, i.e. the apps won't look there) the Roaming profile folder, it sounds like there might have been something corrupt or erroneous in the Acrobat data folders. When you installed your FM versions, did you deselect the accompanying PDFcreator option? If not and you had an existing Acrobat installation, then some items would have been overwritten, creating some issues for you.

Let me know what you guys think of this pkgbuild for adobe acrobat 7.0. Please let me know if you think anything should be changed.

Hi SUBRAMANIAN,
Are you still facing this issue? It seems to be conflict to me.
Are you using any third party plugins with Acrobat? Try disabling and to use it again.

Acrobat Reader 8.1.1

Hi everyone.
I just purchased an iMac G5. I downloaded the the new version of Acrobat Reader 8.1.1 from the Adobe website, installed it on the iMac just fine. The application launches fine but when I try to print, I get a window that say's "Document can't be printed". I don't have this problem when I try to print from Acrobat 5.0. At this stage, it obvious there is some conflict with the OS.
FWIW, I have a G5 Dual 2ghz and the same software works fine with it.
Any ideas?
Best...Stan

Since Reader is not an Apple product, you should probably post your question on the Adobe forums:
http://www.adobeforums.com

Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 Installation failed.

Has anyone successfully install Adobe Acrobat Reader ver. 8.1.2?
I'm running 10.5.2. Perhaps Adobe needs to put out a version for 10.5.2, d@mn it....I should have stay with 10.5.1 until other softwares are updated.

that is interesting. hmmm...
I tried installing Acrobat Reader 8.2.1 from scratch (failed), since I didn't have one installed prior. I had settled for the older version 7.x for now. Btw! upgrading from 7.x failed as well. So, I think there's an issue with the Acrobat Reader 8.2.1 installer, it breaks @ 1/3 way. I'll wait for a little while and see if Adobe push out a newer version, hopefully soon.
I have a thought. See if you can install it in the Safe mode. It may be a conflict with a driver or app that is disabled in the Safe mode, which might allow you to install it.
You might also contact Abode and tell them about the situation. The version I have, 8.1.2 is their latest version and it's dated last May, so it's almost a year old.
I note you refer to Adobe 8.2.1. I assume that a typo.

"there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)

We are getting the following error "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)" and a gray screen appears (Image not viewable) with multiple users. We are using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05) and (11.0.06). The current workaround is to log off the website and log back in. Once the user logs back in, the pdf will appear. However it occurs anywhere from 2-8 times in a day. Anyone else having this issue or know of another workaround? Any suggestion with how to fix? Please help!!

Hi Valerie,
Please let me know the version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader & operating system installed on your computer?
Also, try this:-
Launch Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
From the menu, choose Edit -> preferences -> General
Uncheck the option for "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
Restart the Adobe Reader and web browser.

Aadesh

I have installed adobe flash player. I can not open the file. In plugins under tools it is not showing. It shows acrobat reader being there but not flash player. Any ideas?

Flasher Player should be listed as a plugin in tools for it to work?
