Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

My Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

Yes, updates run each time I reinstall Bill.
On one forum, it was suggested to download Adobe cleaner.  I ran it every time before reinstalling.  Adobe XI Pro works after that, but is so unstable.  Cant figure out what triggers it to stop launching.

  • 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 won't open a PDF file.

    I know this isn't a Mac question but I've been to Adobe and they are no help. I have PDF files that were created by Acrobat Pro that will not open when I click on the file icon yet, if I open the Acrobat program it will open the file. This is annoying. Has any one experienced this and is there a solution?

    Thanks, your response helped. I knew Preview was the default for PDF files but I had changed that (using Get Info) but I failed to notice two important items. (1) The "Change All" button and (2) the "lock icon down in the lower right part of the window. Once I reselected Acrobat as the "opening" program, selected "Change All", AND unlocked the window so that changes would be incorporated, and OH, I even threw in a restart, everything works as expected. Picky, Picky, Picky.
    Thanks again.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open.  Even after a reinstall - what can I do?

    My Acrobat X Pro won't open - even after a reinstall.  What can I do?

    Thanks Jeff - what's strange is that I've been prompted a few times since installation to register the software, so I don't know why it would be doing that if it's already registered.
    When prompted, I would follow the links to the registration information page, and then work through the registration process, and then when prompted to enter the serial code it does not accept it. I've tried the serial code that came with the license, as well as the serial codes for the individual products (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), and none of those were accepted by the registration form. So "registering to an account which includes your companies information would be sufficient." does not seem to be working for me, unless there is more to "including the companies information" then I've seen in the sign up pages.
    To be clear, I'm not fumbling around blindly here, I've done a lot to try and register the product myself and have yet to succeed.
    My questions are these (and apologies if this is not directly related to the OT), 1) is there a way to confirm the product is registered, 2) if it is not registered, what specifically do I need to tell the purchasing people to do to make sure it is registered properly, and 3) after following the process here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html - does this fix the Acrobat issue for good, or will I have to repeat this process in another 30 days? Does lack of registration potentially affect other products in the Web and Design Creative Suite?
    Thanks again for the assistance, I'm hoping to get enough information to be able to give our IT folks a clear resolution to the registration issue.

  • My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs. it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this?

    My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs, it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this? I just bought the computer last month so this is some what frustrating.

    If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it.  (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

  • Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac-

    Acrobat Pro won't update from 10.1.6 to 10.1.7, any tips, on Mac…?

    One of two things:
    1.  Go to the Terminal App and type the word "sudo" and hit the Enter/Return key.  If it comes back with a permissions error then seek from Apple to correct it.
    2.  If there is no permissions error in the Terminal app then go to the installation log at "/var/log/install.log" or "/private/var/log/install.log".  Open it up and see if you find an error about failing to write to the file:
    ./postinstall: Error in converting the plist /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.PDFAdminSettings.plist to xml1 format
    If you get the error above then delete the file at the location and try updating again

  • I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I did a restore to get rid of updated firefox. know it won't open how do i get it to open & get my tabs back

    i did a restore to get rid of updated firefox. know it won't open. how do i get it to open? The reason I got rid of the update is because it would not create multipal tabs of the same website, & i lost my tabs to boot. can anyone help with this?

    *Press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
    *Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
    *Open the URL in a new tab by using Alt + Enter on the highlighted entry.
    *Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.
    If you use a system restore then you have the risk that not all files are reverted to previous versions and you most likely have corrupted your Firefox installation.<br />
    You will have to do a clean reinstall of Firefox and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).<br />
    Your personal data is stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure not to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Fianl Cut Pro won't open! I trashed prefs and done a clean install severall times. Pls help

    Fianl Cut Pro won't open! I trashed prefs and done a clean install severall times. when i open final cut it loads all the plugins then stops responding, i then have to force quit it.

    FCP X has only been out for 7 months! Or are you using FCP 7 ?
    Anyway it sounds as though you have probably done something recently.
    What have you recently updated or what new apps and plugins have you installed?
    When you trashed the preferences did you do it correctly using this app

  • 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?

    Sherbear2359 (I believe that the US has the right to arm bears so I will be very nice.)
    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
