Acrobat XI can't open a PDF file if space in name

I have a .net WinForms Application that calls the Acrobat Reader using a System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. On Acrobat Reader 7 - 10, this works fine. On XI , I receive a message "Unable to Open a Document".
Upon furthur research, it appears that I can't open a PDF document when using Adobe XI if the filename has a space.
Is this a bug? is there a workaround? Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.

The way I got around this was to uncheck the Enabled Protected Mode at startup. You can find this in the Adobe menu Edit->Preferences->Security (Enhanced).

What is your operating system?
You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
Also, is this a local or online PDF? If online, in what browser?

Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

Hey ilyaz20360341,
Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
Hope to get your response.
Regards,
Anubha

If Reader ISN'T in the list of prpgrams to open with, click "Browse"
In the "Browse window" go to C/Program files [or Program Files (x86)]/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
Select "AcroRd32.exe" and click "Open"
Make sure "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked and click "OK".

Can't open web pdf files from my Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license agreement to use Reader and I never saw that page during installation.

Can't open web pdf files from my newly installed Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license to use agreement to Reader, and I never saw that page during installation. How do I get past this?

You need to accept the EULA on first launch of the Reader DC application.
Go to the Applications folder and launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
This will bring up the EULA.
Select the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms
Assuming you selected the "Agree" button, Reader DC should open.
You should now be able to open PDF files in your web browser.

I can't open my pdf files.

I recently installed Adobe Reader XI on my Windows XP system.In order to create more hard disk space I then unistalled Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and Adobe Air. Now I can't open any pdf files. Q. What should I do ?
Rainbow_1934

I see I have been corrected there is so much conflicting on Adobe websites. In one place I read specifically, that XI only works Windows 7 and above. and Yet here I find out that if XP is properly Updated it works just fine. So next time a Reader question comes up I will just send them to Reader forum.
I wish when Adobe puts out information, and then find out, well maybe it does after all. They remove the old information and update it.
Adobe though is not the only company that does this. To a degree all software companies do so. They put out information say it won't work here or works there. But then later on find out yes it does, or no it doesn't. And they leave the bogus information out for people to trip over. It seems it’s a test to see whether people read the notes to begin with. If a enough people don't pay attention they won't provide them.

I can't open a pdf file since updating to firefox 4.0. I have foxit reader installed and it worked before. Adobe is not compatible with Firefox. What do I need to do. I need to file my income tax online and can't because of this issue

Just can't open any pdf files. Having no luck trying to fix myself.

For Firefox users, there might be a built in pdf viewer, or a preferred viewer that handles pdf files.
I am not having any trouble logging in, so lets try this:
* Remove any cookies from the cache: [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]]
*[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] if there is stored user data that is removed in this process: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

What is your operating system? Reader version?

I can't open a pdf file.

My computer was working fine until about 2-3 weeks ago. Suddenly I could no longer open a PDF file. I had Adobe Reader installed and all was good. I asked our IT guy and he suggested downloading Adobe Reader again. I did this and still get the error message. Then I had a friend to tell me to uninstall and reinstall. That did not work either. The error message looks like this:
Fill conversion - document name.pdf
Select the encoding that makes your document readable.
Text coding (then 3 options)
Windows (default) MS-DOS Other encoding
Then there is a pop-up window within the error message with all kinds of options.
Help!
Thank you!

Good afternoon Pat,
It apparently has been a problem for three days of the supplier, that redirected bad was sending us documents. Thanks for your support and I hope they have fixed it.
Kind regards,

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Try two things with Safari not running:
1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using". If it's checked, try unchecking it.
2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
Then see how things work.
