Acrobat will not open a form

This is a weird one.
As of last week, my acrobat pro will not open a "form".
Unless I disconnect from the network, then it opens fine.
The form can be opened on any other computer in the company but not this one, if it's connected to the network.
What I have done.
Uninstalled, and re-installed.
Uninstalled the network software reinstalled
The only think I have not done is reinstall the entire OS.
Ideas anyone?
thanks!
Nancy

What does "will not open" mean? Is there an error message of some kind?
Does this only happen with one file, or with all files?
Is this file located on a network drive? If so, what happens if you copy it to your local computer and try to open it?
What's your exact version of Acrobat and OS?

Acrobat will not open any documents, HELP! Thank you!

Adobe Acrobat will not open any documents, it tells me it is a trial, I click on license product and get a thank you for your Adobe Cloud subscription... but then when I try to open a pdf I get the same message it just keeps looping from trial will run out in 7 days to trial will run out in 13 days and I can never open a pdf. I am going to try and uninstall and reinstall. For most of us, not being able to open a pdf is comparable to not being able to work. This is totally UNacceptable. Clients and bosses are counting on my being able to do my job, I can't say to them, "Oh well the dog "Adobe" ate my homework." PLEASE fix this Adobe! Thank you.
Here is a screen shot of the messages...
I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled from Adobe Application Manager, thought all was great when it asked for my user name and password, then when I clicked Launch... same issue. FRUSTRATING! Any one have a fix? I even created a pdf using InDesign, made sure I had View PDF after exporting checked and still got that awful Trial box. The pdf did show up in my documents, but I can not open it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Manish-Sharma, I followed the instruction in the thread, and for the first time in a week I can actually open a PDF. I am not sure if this will be a permanant fix, we will see on the 30 day mark. I really appreciate that you read my question and gave me an answer that allowed me to open Acrobat. I also opened Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and AfterEffects. They all opened with the exception of a small glitch when I opened Illustrator which was cleared up in moments. See screetshot.
Thank you again! Much appreciated!

Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

Newly installed Acrobat will NOT open from Creative Cloud app on Desktop using Windows 7 Pro - what's the problem?

the cc desktop app is used to install and update cc programs (and a few other thinigs). but that does not include 'opening' the installed programs.
click your start button or your program files directory to find the acrobat executable to launch acrobat (and any of your other apps, adobe or otherwise).

After reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back. i got some good info with a search or two. (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs, OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
from User /Preferences/Adobe:
com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
and from System Preferences:
the file: Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
and..
/.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
Debug Database.txt
Placeholder Preset.epr
PostEncodeCmds.pref
PresetCache.xml
Trace Database.txt
NOTE:
of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but... it seems to have worked.
I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering, so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
happy editing,
peace

Abobe Acrobat -- will not open pdfs.

I have Acrobat XI on a PC and have received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server." Acrobat will not open now. How do I regain access to the program?

I have Acrobat XI on PC. After trying to convert a webpage to PDF, I received a Fatal Error message indicating that "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server." Now, the program will not open. How do I regain access to the program?

I have Acrobat XI Pro and have been experiencing all sorts of "freeze ups" with it ever since Adobe released the new Acrobat DC the other week. I see that an automatic update was pushed down to my Acrobat XI Pro at the same time. Is this the first issue you have encountered with your Acrobat XI, or have you been having other issues suddenly as well?? Just wondering ...

Adobe Acrobat will not open

I installed CS6 a few weeks ago and it worked fine. All of a sudden I can't open the Adobe Acrobat program any longer. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Since you have tried with crofix update but the file does not open.
You might need to try out solutions 2 or 3 for the same from the link mentioned below:
Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite
Please let me know if that worked for you. If no, then do tell me if there is any specific error.

InfoPath Filler 2010 will not open a form in SharePoint 2013

I'm having a problem with the coexistence of SharePoint 2013 and Office 2010, specifically InfoPath.
We are running SharePoint 2013 Standard, so we do not have access to web-enabled InfoPath forms, which is okay since all of our client machines have InfoPath Filler as part of their Office 2010 install.
The problem is I have created a form and published it to a SharePoint 2013 library but when I try to create a new document in the library I get a page cannot be displayed error or the page just hangs.
However, as a troubleshooting step, I installed InfoPath 2013 on my client machine and when I access the library and create a new document it opens the form successfully.
I've changed the settings of the library so it uses the client application instead of trying to open in the browser, I've changed the trust settings to every possible configuration I can think of but I cannot get InfoPath 2010 to open a form published to
SharePoint 2013.
Is this a known compatibility issue, a bug, or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Kevin

I encountered this issue recently. Some of our suers have upgraded to Office 2013 but a lot still are on office 2010. I did not want a solution that relied heavily on the users to do something, like upgrade to 2013 or modify 2010. That's not ideal.
I realized the solution was very simple. I edited the InfoPath template within the document library in sharepoint > Form Options > Compatibility, change it to InfoPath filler form 2010. It still works for me and I have version 2013, so now it allows
users with older versions to use it as well. I confirmed with the affected users that they can now access the form.

Adobe Pro 9 will not open web form

What is wrong?

By "web form" do you mean an html < form> or are you talking about a .pdf that is opening wrong, or some other file type?

Adobe Acrobat 6.0.1 will not open after update

I was prompted to add a patch to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 running on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 After down loading the patch and installing, Adobe Acrobat will not open. A prompt comes up warning me; "The currently selected language resources are not supported by the current version of Adobe Acrobet. Please reselect the language in the international Systems Preference panel." I did this to no avail. Anyone else with this problem? Thanks!

Did the update info come from Adobe? In any case, you might try a repair (not sure how that is done on a MAC. You can also download updates from Adobe at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh.

Acrobat will not start

I have had acrobat pro 10 installed for 30 days and acrobat will not open, how can I fix this problem?

you are not alone...
I have a legal CS6 Master Collection and my Acrobat Pro doesn't open after Adobe updater decided it needs to 'upgrade' my Reader to the latest version.
I can't create nor edit any of my documentation anymore.
Looking for support and they tell me I'm not entitled to chat with support?!
Anyway, Adobe isn't what it use to be.
I just hope we get a patch/fix soon.

Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
Help!

Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
8.
When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader.

I am trying to access tax forms from the IRS. I download them to my comuter and they read fine (version XI). However, when iItry to open them on another computer (version 4) they will not open. Version 4 opens all other documents fine, just no the ones

I am trying to access tax forms from the IRS. I download them to my comuter and they read fine (version XI). However, when iItry to open them on another computer (version 4) they will not open. Version 4 opens all other pdf documents fine, just not the ones from the IRS. Any ideas?

Version 4 is oh so old.
The IRS and many other providers of forms are using products like LIveCycle which require at least version 7.05.
