ACROBAT FILES NOT LAUNCHING

I have recently upgraded to Acrobat Pro in CS6 to run on Lion.
When I double click the PDF icon the files will not launch.
I have been into 'info' and it is set to open.
Any ideas welcome ? ? ? ?
Barry

After additional investigation I have resolved the issue via a combination of removing the camera raw file from the 32 bit plug-in folder as suggested here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/generic-icons-camera-raw-files.html
As well as it appears that when I restored my backup from Carbonite all the files came back without the proper security settings which was preventing these items to be viewed in Lightroom and Bridge because file editing was not enabled even through the "read only" checkbox was removed.

Why does Acrobat 8 not launch properly?

Hello,
I have CS2 with Acrobat 7 and an upgrade 8. I have worked with it for at least 2 years without any problem. Now I have changed my system from 2000 PRO to XP Pro. The CS2 programs are all working again. Only Acrobat does not. After the activation it said goodbye. When I launch it, it shows up for a glimpse, maybe 1/10 second, then disappears without any warning, like a dim spark. What can I do?
I have not yet reinstalled the Reader. I want to solve this problem first.
Ich arbeite seit mindestens 2 Jahren mit Acrobat 8 (ich habe CS2 und 7 mit upgrade auf 8). Nun habe ich mein System von 2000 Pro auf XP Pro umgestellt, die CS2 Programme arbeiten wieder einwandfrei, nur Acrobat tut es nicht. Nach der Aktivierung verabschiedete es sich. Wenn ich es starte, zeigt es sich für ca. 1/10 Sekunde wie ein schwaches Fünkchen und verschwindet ohne Fehlermeldung. Was kann ich tun?
Den Reader habe ich noch nicht wieder installiert. Ich wollte dieses Problem zuerst lösen.

Not true!
A standard CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes will do the job.
But you should try resetting the SMC:

If none of that works (and these vertically installed Superdrives that were originally designed for horizontal use in a MacBook can be fickle) then any USB DVD burner/player will work well, and cost from as little as $40. Just make sure that it is stated to be Mac compatible.

LabView Exe Application file not launch Excel application for report generation

Dear All,
I created one LabVIEW application file for report generation (using Excel Template).
While I run the program in programming mode it works well and create the report file in the specified path.
After creation of the application file(exe), it gives the correct path of where the excel template is placed. The same path is given to New Report.vi, but it gives the error 'File Not Found'.
Tell me, is any other configuration required for generating Excel reports? (During exe application mode)
Give me the solution.
Thank You
Jegan.

Hello,
Most likely you are encountering a problem of stripping and/or building paths. Probably the easiest thing to do is put a couple indicators on your front panel for the path or paths you care about, build your exe, and make sure you are really using the path you'd like. If you always put the report at some deterministic place relative to the exe (that is, even it the exe is moved, it will go with the exe and remain in the same relative path location, then you can use the Current VIs Path funtion found in the ... File I/O -> File Constants palette as a start path (where you will want to strip at least the exe name off of course).
I think this will bring some clarity to the issue!

RAW files not launching

After a system crash I reinstalled Lightroom 3.6 and subscribed to Creative Cloud.
Downloaded and installed without issue Bridge and Photoshop CS6 - 64bit Windows 7 system.
Some (NOT ALL) of the RAW files (ORF) that I restored from a backup will not display thumbnails or launch in Bridge or Lightroom.
Bridge gives me the error "Could not complete your request because its not the right kind of document"
Lightroom gives me the error "Preview not available"
I've checked the knowledge base and reviewed similar issues with CS3 but none of the solutions make sense since this is a new install and my cameras have been supported in Adobe Camera Raw since v5.3 or earlier.
I did download and install the camera manufacturer's editing program and it will display the files without any issue - I had throught this may have been a Win7 issue but since I can launch a raw file from this viewer it suggests the issue is with the Adobe products and not a Win7 problem.
Really not sure what to try next and would appreciate some suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Acrobat File Not Found After Printing Web Page

Here is my problem:
I am trying to print a web page from our intranet but once the process is complete, a log file opens saying:
"The system cannot find the file" and then it lists the file I just tried to create.
The page is basic HTML with a small amount of Javascript. Disabling the Javascript had the same problem.
The page is about 30 pages long. Only printing the first page had the same problem.
Printing to PDF on an external site had the same problem.
I tried the same process in Office and ran into the same problem.
Here is what I am doing:
I am opening the web page in the browser. I go to File > Print. I select "Adobe PDF" as my printer. I do not make any edits to the settings.
Here is my environment:
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Windows XP SP3.
Tried it both in Firefox 3.6 & IE 7.
"Acrotray.exe" is running in the background.
Acrobat is completely updated.
Is it a setting issue? Possibly a software conflict issue?
Thanks,
-B

Thanks for the reply!
Here are answers to your questions:
No, I cannot print to PDF from other applications.
I do have have the checkboxes to request filename and open in Acrobat selected.
I do not get an error from Distiller during the process of creating a PDF. It isn't until it is completely done that the log file pops up that simply says, "The system cannot find the file" and lists the file location (i.e. c:\users and settings\desktop...).
Beyond that log file, it looks like everything is running fine.
Let me know if any other information that will help.

Why is Acrobat 8 not launching after Migration Assistant Tranfer?

"Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component [WHICH I HAVE] (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."

Migration assistant doesn't work with everything. I'd be amazed if it managed to get all the licensing stuff. I'd recommend you reinstall.

.jar files not launching, and Jar Launcher not appearing when I search it

Okay, so here's the issue:
A couple weeks ago, I decided to download a stand-alone jar file for my personal use. The jar file, dependent on nothing, ran in Jar Laucher by default and worked fine. Earlier this week, however, I decided my Mac was cluttered and so I went through it and cleared out everything I wasn't ever going to use again. I also have an app called "The Unarchiver" from the Mac App store (I've had this for about two months). Since the uncluttering, three bad things have happened. 1) Any .jar files open in The Unarchiver instead of Jar launcher
2) When I search around my Mac for Jar Launcher, nothing appears.
3) The .jar file icons changed to this:
Also, I tried uninstalling The Unarchiver, and it still didn't work. Either Jar Launcher is gone, or it went dormant. What should I do, and if needed, where can I reinstall Jar Launcher?!?
(Mac Late 2009 Model 10.7.3)

I figured out how to fix this issue. All you have to do is just install a new version of Java from the Apple website. When it's done, all of your jar files will now open in Jar Launcher by default.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1515
You don't need to uninstall The Unarchiver.

Logged in as a local user
Acrobat lauched, connected with Adobe, and worked ok.
Logged out as local user and logged in again as normal user.
Acrobat X Pro lauched and works fine.
Thank you for the quick resolution.

Is "Acrobat plug-in -'Could not launch Acrobat' " a Firefox or Adobe issue?

When I link to a PDF / Acrobat file nothing launches and the dialogue box noted above appears. Is there something in Firefox I can adjust to allow the plug-in to launch? Or is this a question I should pose to Adobe? I am using the latest Acrobat plug-in.
Thanks.

See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

Can the adobe reader mobile app open standard password protected AES256 encrypted files (not Livecycle) made by Acrobat XI?

I downloaded the adobe mobile reader for iOS just now and tried opening a pdf file created by Acrobat XI and optimized (no errors reported) for web and mobile devices the file was password encrypted (*not livecycle*) using 256AES, compatibility acrobat X with restrictions allow: none, printing allowed low rez.
when acrobat mobile reader launched the pdf it required a password and even with the correct password used for changing security settings failed to open.
how can people secure pdf's from unauthorized editing their work in Acrobat XI using (Acrobat X compatibility), standard password protection using AES256 bit encryption and open using the adobe mobile reader app ?

I actually need at least three people to successfully open my free pdf using the Adobe Free acrobat viewer for mobile devices or my client want to remove the access for mobile devices link.
Can anyone test please the free pdf that it opens on iOS or Android ?
the guest checkout is enabled just need to put shipping info to access the Download File 2

Launching PDF in Firefox yeilds "Could not launch Acrobat.".

I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.6 with Acrobat Reader 8.1.1. When I click on a PDF on a web page I get the error "Could not launch Acrobat.".
The file "nppdf32.dll" is in the Firefox plugins folder.
If I double-click a PDF file on my hard drive, Acrobat launches fine.
Can anyone help?

>>Under Tools->Options->Applications, I have nothing for "Adobe" in my content Type. Any ideas how to get it to populate in there?
Assuming you have acrobat installed, this worked for me:
1. start acrobat (for me this was Acrobat Reader 8 )
2. help -> repair acrobat reader installation
3. stop and restart firefox
now I have entries for pdf and everything works again
[for me, this problem was apparently caused by installing a program that *took the liberty* of installing an ancient version of Acrobat even though I already had 8 installed. After that happened, Firefox refused to open pdf files. I uninstalled the ancient version of acrobat, rebooted etc. etc. to no avail, then found this thread, and looked in Tools->Options->Applications to find nothing for "Adobe"]

Firefox 4 displays "Could not launch Acrobat" error when exiting

Firefox 4
Adobe Reader X installed
OS: Win7 Pro
Every time I exit Firefox, whether I view a PDF file or not, I get an error message, saying "Could not launch Acrobat."
I've manually gone Options, Applications and changed them to use Acrobat Reader, but the problem persists.
The only way I've solved the problem is to reinstall Firefox 3.6.16.
Any suggestions? I'd like to use Firefox 4, but won't until this issue is resolved.

Have no solutions to this problem been found? It seems many people have it. I get the error on start up and when shutting down Firefox.

Cannot open or launch adobe reader and adobe acrobat will not download

"Adobe acrobat must be launched" box appears when I try to read a file. I cannot launch adobe reader; it will not even open. When I try to download adobe acrobat it says adobe reader is already installed. Help!

What is your operating system? Reader version? How exactly are you trying to launch Reader?

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.
the log says the bellow details...what's the problem and how can i resolve it? thanks.

File not displaying properly when launched

Hello, I'm using Cp6, Windows 7, Flash 11.9 and have a question. I've created a cptx file for an overall tutorial. I've inserted a video (Mp4) that I careated with Cp6 and published as an Mp4 file. I inserted it via Video>Insert Video and chose Event Videof
When I publsh the overall tutorial cptx file which is SCORM 1.2 enabled I get the expeced set of files in the zip folder. I tested playing this tutorial in SCORM Cloud, IE, Chrome, and FireFox with success. The overall tutorial plays as expected and the video plays as expected.
When I handed off the zipped published files to somone to load in their LMS, everything works fine except when the Mp4 file is played, it launches fine, displays the first screen fine, and then continues to play however all of the screens after the first screen appear almost transparent. And I believe the file the LMS people are loading is the Index_SCORM HTML file. They said that's the one they upload to their LMS.
I have looked throughout Cp6 for a "setting" that would cause this "dimming" effect starting on screen 2 and do not see anything.
Here's a sample of the code the LMS people sent. They think it cold be because of this opacity setting or value.
How is this opacity setting triggered in Captivate 6? If it is this, any suggestions on how to resolve it? Do you think this is what's causing the MP4 video to start dimming out on slide 2? Again, this doesn't happen on any of the other files in the published folder such as the SWF file and it does not happen when I test the entire published zip folder on SCORM Cloud.
Thanks a ton!

If you SCORM package as published from Captivate works perfectly well in SCORM Cloud then the issue is most likely with your client's LMS or the way the people administering it have loaded the course.
In any SCORM complian LMS I have worked with, the file that the LMS wants to look at first is NOT the index_SCORM HTML file. It's the imsmanifest.xml file. That's the file that tells the LMS what assets to load and how the links in the LMS's SCORM Player TOC should be set up. The user should be launching the SCORM package via the link in the LMS TOC. My suspicion is that your LMS is not launching the content correctly and some of the required JS files are not being loaded.
