Acrobat can't open PDF files on iMac
I am unable to open PDF files with my computer ever since the hard drive crashed and I had to replace it and use Time Machine to reinstall everything. I receive the following message, "You can't open the application Acrobat Reader 5.0 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." How can I open up my PDF files? I am operating with OS 10.7.5 I have a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
personally I would use preview to open pdf's as adobe and java are the biggest security threats to moderns computing
or if you like then you could upgrade your adobe acrobat read to a newer version not based on the powerpc code

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1
Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

I can't open PDF File Attachments
Hello,
I use the environments Windows 7, MS Office 2010 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09.
In the perferences on the categories Trust Manager I had actived the function: PDF File Attachments: Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application
Now I'm trying in a PDF document to open a Word or Excel file and get the error message: Acrobat can not open the file attachment Because your PDF file attachment setting do not allow this file type to be opened.
And I can just open Word and Excel files.
If I open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 then I can do that.
Someone has a idea.
Regards
ErdemHi Aadesh,
I had actived the Trust Manager -> 'Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application' on Acrobat and Reader 11.0.09.
I can open the non-PDF files with Acrobat but not with Reader.
Regards

I can't open pdf files I have down-loaded from Safari
I can't open pdf files I have down-loaded from Safari (6.0 and OSX 10.8) with preview or acrobat. I get a corrupted file message. Anyone have a fix?
From the Safari menu bar, select Safari ▹ Preferences… ▹ Security and uncheck the box labeled Enable plug-ins. Test.

I can't open pdf files.
Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
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 (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, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
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. -
Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files
My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.
It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103). -
Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.
Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

I can't open PDF files even though I have downloaded Adobe Reader. I am using a Mac book Pro
I can't open PDF files as the screen message says I have to reopen the computer and sign the Adobe Reader agreement but even though Adobe has downloaded I don't get any screen message indicating where I would do this.
Where is this?after downloading, did you install adobe reader?

I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player
I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..
Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
Windows:
Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
Mac:
Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it. -
