Acrobat/Reader X Error trying to open PDF in IE8

When I click on a link in IE8 to a PDF I get the following message:
"There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)"
I have Windows 7 32-bit with IE8. It worked fine when I had Acrobat 7 standard and Adobe Reader X installed. Then I uninstalled Acrobat 7 standard and installed the trial version of Acrobat X (need to make sure it works before I purchase it for everyone in domain) and I can now create PDF's, but can't view them in IE8.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I would need some more information to try to diagnose this.
* can you launch Acrobat X by double-clicking it? Do any dialogs (like the End-User License Agreement) show up that you have to click through?
* in Acrobat X, open Edit -> Preferences and go to the Internet tab. You should see a path to acrobat.exe, underneath the "Display Browser in PDF" checkbox. Is the checkbox checked? Is the path correct?
* can you open a PDF from the internet in IE8? Try http://acroeng.adobe.com/Test_Files/quickie/SONNETS.pdf (my particular favorite).

IE 8 "Runtime Error" trying to open PDF with Reader 9.5.1

I've seen many variants of this problem on the forum. Running Win7, IE 8, Firefox 14, and Reader 9.5.1.
For some little while, I've had a problem opening PDF files from links on Webpages that I view in IE8. I see the following Runtime Error message:
More recently, I've seen a similar problem with Firefox 14. The difference is that there's no error message with Firefox ... it opens a new tab, but the browser tab remains blank.
Could the problem be from installing Reader 9.5.1 recently? How do I back out that update, and resort to the previous version of Reader -- which ran error free?
Thanks
Jerry

We created a small standalone test application, which just opens a PDF. Same issue was found, with just this one User. Here's the code:

Thanks for your reply. The only way I can open the pdf file is to save it locally. I don't understand why can't I just click and open the pdf file without saving them

Adobe Reader 11 - error message when opening PDF's

I have an iMac OSx. Using Adobe Reader 11. Everytime I open a PDF I get "an internal error has occured" I was trying to uninstall Adobe Reader 11 but the uninstaller in my Applications/Utilities is not there. HELP!!

It's almost identical to what you posted. I think the difference was that I was trying on a machine with complete install of Acrobat which has the font packs and hence there was no hang/crash. Your file doesn't hang on that machine either.
If you look at the fonts panel in your document: File>Properties>Fonts, you'll notice that it uses MS-PGothic font which is a Japanese fonts, and hence the Japanese font pack might fix this.
Also, since you mentioned ACE.dll, the other possibility might be that there are conflicting DLLs on the system, commonly referred to as DLL Hell. Another thing to try would be to search the system for ACE.dll and see which all software install it.

Acrobat Reader x 10.0 - Cannot open pdf as a single file

I am using Acrobat Reader x 10.0 on Win 7 64 bit OS.
I save Filemaker 11.0 Reports as PDF Individual Single Files, to a Folder on my Hard Drive.
On some occasions, I can have been able to open these Individual Reports files as a Single Files, each of about 540KB.
On many occasions, when I open what had been saved as a Individual Single File, the actual report saved does not appear on the page, but can be found down the left side, amongst other similar Files and the File size is 1855KB or more, depending how many other files are included.
My intent is to include an Individual Single File as an attachment to an email, but I do not want the recipient to see all the other individual files.
How can I ensure, when I save the Filemaker Individual Report as a PDF file, it can only open as the same Individual Single Report File that had been saved, on its own and not with multiple similar files.
This problem is a pain in the butt and has brought my project to a standstill.
Is this a Design Problem, A Settings Preferences Problem or a Problem caused by me.
I have not encountered this before.
Thank You and hoping someone has the answer I need.

After some persistance and much trial and error, I believe I have overcome this silly problem.
When I save the Filemaker Database Record as a pdf file and the Save As Panel pops up on the screen, there is a Save Box that contains three choices, one of which says "Current Record". When I choose this, everything seems to work fine. So, I guess this is the Fix.
Sorry if I have raised unneccessary concerns within the Forum.

New PCs Acrobat Reader hangs up IE 7 opening PDF

Hi,
we made all PCs new with Windows XP prof wit hactual MS Patches and only Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Starting Adobe Reader works
double click a pdf works
Opening a pdf in outlook works
ONLY OPENING A PDF IN IE 7 DOESN`T WORK. BLANK SCREEN AND IE: NO RESPONSE
Any Hints?
PS. Domain Administrator works, User as local Administrator works not.

Yes, it rules out any version mismatch. Still not sure what might be happening.
You say that it works when logging in as Domain admin works but doesn't for local admin. Who installed Reader - domain admin?
One thing to try would be to Repair using the local admin and see if that fixes the problem.

I am getting a Eula error trying to open PDF file, not allowing me to open...what should I do?

I have tried reinstalling software and didn't work.
How do I fix this eula error and open up PDF files again?

I think I fixed it using help from another post...agreeing to license agreement in program files eula.exe
I think Eula is a licensing agreement term (not quite sure because I just heard of it when error happened).

Updated Adobe AIR and now Adobe reader crashes when trying to open PDFs created by Livescribe

Adobe AIR auto-updated earlier this afternoon, and now every time I try to open a PDF created by Livescribe, Adobe Reader crashes.
Adobe Reader XI ver. 11.0.0.379
Adobe AIR ver. 3.5.0.1060
Windows 7 Pro, SP1
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling both AIR and Reader, to no avail. I can provide install log for AIR if needed (just need to know how to upload it, or if you'd rather me paste the text).
Thanks for any help,
-Rick

Hi Rick,
I'm surprised that the AIR update would cause Reader to crash. I received an update to Reader recently (yesterday I think), could this have also occurred on your system? Regardless, we should be able to drop back to an earlier version of AIR to try it out. Just uninstall and then grab AIR 3.4 located here:
http://download.macromedia.com/air/win/download/3.4/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe
Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Chris

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?

Please post in the forum for the software you are using to read PDFs -
the Adobe Reader forum for example. Good luck,

Eric-
FYI, this is a forum for storage and sharing...photoshop.com and revel. If you have acrobat issues you might want to make a note of the other forums:
http://forums.adobe.com shows a list of all of them, and specifically http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat this one for Acrobat
But, since I have had this same issue myself...
On Windows, locate your pdf document. Right click it and select "open with". Select Adobe Acrobat. That should do it. On MAC, I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is a similar setting.
Good luck.

Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

Are there settings in Acrobat to enable a PDF file to open in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader by Default rather than open in a Browser

There is a check box in the preference (under edit). I have not had great success with this setting, but that is what it is supposed to do. Don't expect it to happen in Chrome that has it's own PDF viewer (or the preview function on a MAC). You might also check the settings for your particular browser.

Trying to open pdf and Adobe Reader Stops Working...Please Help

Trying to open PDF and it keeps popping up that Adobe Reader Stopped Working. And doesn't seem to find a solution to fix. Has been going on for a couple days. Can't access pdf files needed for my business.

With Reader XI I assume you mean 11.0.0; try updating to 11.0.06.
Also, can you open Reader by itself? If so, try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
