Acrobat Pro V7 not opening pdfs

Acrobat Pro V7 not opening pdfs - just started happening. are there some preferances that can be trashed etc? don't tell me this will require a full reload?

ok I tried that but still get;
"a required component was not found. PLease restore the Adobe Acrobate folder from your original CD."
Thing is, I recently moved and cannot find the Adobe CD.
AppleJack seems like a neat little application. Can it also check for duplicate files? I DL'ed a Dup Finder program once but it seems tooo convoluted to use. I couldent tell which were nesssesary files and which were simply taking up space.

My Acrobat Pro will not open my PDF Files any suggestions?

My acrobat pro does not open, anyone else out there with the same problem?

My Adobe Acrobat stopped opening pdfs. Now in the past it was Windows 8.1 playing tricks by thinking that the Adobe software was a trial which expired
Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite Tried it and it worked.
Tried the fix again now no change.
I suspect that a Microsoft patch stuffed it up. They have had a few problems.
I used Reader with open with but I want pdf to be opened by Adobe.
Thanks

Acrobat Pro XI not opening

I am running CC Suite on a MacBook Pro ver. 10.8.5. I was updating acrobat when I got an error that the uddate did not complete. When I returned to the desktop, the icon had changed and I could no longer drop a file to acrobat. I ran Cleaner and it completed and still no change. I then decided to uninstall acrobat and reinstall. After running the reinstall, it indicated that it completed so I started the reinstall process. About 2/3rds through the install it gave an error that there was already a version of acrobat on my system. Although distiller still works, both have an icon that has chnged to a circle with a line through it. Whenn I try to execute acrobat I get the following error..."You can't open the application "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" because it may be damaged or inconplete." Any help would be appreciated as I use acrobat everday. Thanks!

It seems that when you are uninstalling the application the uninstall is not happening correctly. Some files may be remaining on your system. please try following steps:
1. Quit all applications and restart your machine
2. Uninstall the Acrobat Pro
3. Check if any of the following file/folder is present or not. If you find any of these files/folders present delete them manually:
     a) /Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/
     b) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/
     c) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 11 AMT/
     d) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat 11 Helper Frameworks/
     e) /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
     f) /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
     g) /Library/PDF Services/Save as Adobe PDF.app
     h) /Library/Automator/Save as Adobe PDF.action
4. Delete the following preferences folders:
     a) ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/
     b) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
     c) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
     d) ~/Library/Preferences/Acrobat Distiller Prefs
     e) ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Acrobat/
Here ~ represents your home directory. Empty your trash, Restart the machine and then reinstall the Acrobat.
you should not get any error now and it should install correctly. Hope this helps.

Acrobat Pro Won't Open PDF Files

I get this message when trying to click open pdf files in a directory. These files will open from Acrobat open file menu. Message - The document “SpecSheet_Zip.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format. I'm using Mac OS 10.6 and acrobat pro 8.2.5. Any ideas how to fix would be appreciated.

The same thing happens with pdf files that are not zip files even if saved from Acrobat Pro on my computer.

Acrobat pro XI only opens pdfs 10% of the time, other times process created but it doesnt launch

Hi
I have a strange issue-
When I click on PDFs Acrobat pro XI does not launch except less than 10% of the time and it seems random. I can click the same PDF 10 times and perhaps get lucky once. The other times I get the "windows please wait blue circle" for about 5 seconds then nothing happens. I opened task manager and do see that an acrobat.exe process opens, and if I click on another PDF another process opens again essentially stacking over and over again each time I click.
I tried this on a few computers each time with the same issue. The computers are newer core i5 and i7 PCs with at least 4-8gb RAM & anywhere from 500gb-3tb HDDs
Acrobat pro X and XI are the only adobe programs on there (besides flash & on some reader xi)
I tried a friends copy of X for testing purposes just to see if i would have different results on the computer and it also seems to have the problem
Has anyone herd of this issue? Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks!

I would recommend running the Acrobat and Reader Cleaner then just install one and only one Acrobat/Reader program.

Using Acrobat Pro XI to open PDF causes system to freeze.

Frequently, when I open a PDF document (double click the PDF file), my Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ver. 11.0.03, (and X before) causes my system to freeze (hourglass icon runs for up to 30 seconds) not allowing me to perform any other command, and less frequently causes Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to quit. Following the unexpected quit, Windows Error Reporting takes over and I am directed to Windows for a solution (http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/5044/en-us/5.1.2600.2.00010100.3.0?SGD=83 458a54-94bd-481a-834b-9713fc92dccf&iBucketTable=1&iBucket=-692234318&BucketHash=e4711a21f7 5b0d1473d68945071e3721), and the solution always directs me to install Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03) (http://get.adobe.com/reader/). This occurs on a daily basis. Should I install Adobe Reader even though I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed? Any ideas why my system hangs or why Adobe Acrobat Pro XI quits unexpectedly? My system is a Win XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3 with all the latest updates installed; 3 GB Ram and Intel Core2 Duo CPU T5670 @ 1.80 GHz, Dell Vostro 2510. I have Norton Anti Virus and I have performed a nightly full system virus scan, and I have performed a deep system virus scan. There are no viruses.

Bill@VT: Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried the suggested steps, but will shortly. Will let you know what occurs.

Adobe Acrobat Pro will not open

I recently purchased and installed some programs from the creative suite on my computer. All worked well for a few months but now for some reason adobe acrobat refuses to open. I have tried using the "Open PDF with..." option as well as opening from the start menu. Nothing seems to happen; no error message or anything it just does not open.
I am running windows 7 64-bit os on a lenovo w530 laptop. The computer is almost new and lighting fast so it's not an issue of just being really slow.
I would uninstall, clean, and reinstall but I'm not sure where the install file is and I believe I installed all of the creative suite at once.
Anybody have any ideas?

This is the Reader forum; the Acrobat one is here:

Acrobat X does not open pdf in IE9 64 bit

Hello,
well the title sums it up really. When I click on a pdf link in IE9 64 bit, the whole Acrobat X program opens. I would like to open it in the browser. Acrobat X Pro internet settings are set to Display pdf in browser.
Thanks

Thank you for your answer. You were right that I was running 10.0.0 so I updated but to no avail.
I googled somewhat and some posts refer to the ActiveX folder of the Acrobat installation (although it was about Acrobat 7).
My ActiveX folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\ActiveX) only contains only 'SelectPageRange.ocx'. Should there be more files?
Can I check the presence of Acrobat ActiveX in IE9?
Thanks

Why does my Acrobat IX not open PDF files created with my Adobe CreatePDF application?

My Acrobat IX will not open PDF files that I create with my Adobe CreatePDF application

Thanks for answering ... Long answer sorry ... recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7. With XP I could create PDFs with/for any document I created ... I think the XP App was Acrobate Complete as well as I could print directly to a PDF file. In any case, I was always able to creat PDFs. Since upgrading to Windows 7, I lost my ability to create PDF files by conversion or by printing directly to PDF format. Therefore, I purchased the Adobe CreatePDF application from Adobe for about $100. However all Adobe CreatePDF files have a different screen icon and my Acrobate XI supplied with my new Windows 7 intsall does nor recognize the Adobe CreatePDF created files. I am guessing but I suspect the Adobe CreatePDF app is creating Postscript print files and not Windows compatible print files. I would like to tell Adobe about this Bug or failure, but it seems I am unable to contact Adobe directly and talk/chat with a human.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs

Hello,
My Adobe Acrobat Pro X will not open PDFs. This happens twice a month and is becoming extremely irritating. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing and a system restore. What can I do to make this problem go away?
Thank you.

To check that it is an Acrobat problem, open Acrobat from the programs list and try to open a PDF from the file menu. I suspect this will work fine from what I read into your post. I suspect that somehow your OS is changing file associations. In that case, right click on a PDF and select Open With>Select Default Program and then select Acrobat. Be sure the check box for default program has been checked.

Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3. They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4
