Adobe Acrobat doesn't open

Hi¨
After two documents openened and printed succesfully Adobe Acrobat refuses to open a window. There were countless acrobat.exe processe running after which I logged out and on again. Now acrobat doesn't open a window for a short time acrobat.exe appears in task manager but that it disappears without an error message.
I have acrobat 10.0 from CS6 on Windows 8.0
This happened on two computers. I paid 400 Euro for a CS6 suite that seems to be rather buggy.
Had someone with the same problem this fixed ?

First of all, this is the Reader forum, not the Acrobat forum.
Acrobat 10 is not compatible with Windows 8 unless you update to at least 10.1.5 ... Do that and then try again.

Adobe Acrobat hangs when opening PDFs even after reinstall

Hello,
I have 2 new Dell systems that are having issues with Adobe Acrobat. When opening PDFs, either from an email attachement or file from our server, there is a brief hang that lasts 10-15 seconds, during which Acrobat is unresponsive however the workstation continues to respond. I've since uninstalled/reinstalled, still no luck. I've also run updates. Problem unresolved.
Any ideas

One of our users is having a similar issue with Adobe Reader 9.2 hanging. Adobe Reader will eventually open after about 5 seconds. I've found a work around where if I leave a .pdf document open, any other .pdf I click will open up fine (but a .pdf needs to be left open in Adobe Reader). This is happening only with one user. Some of the things I've tried that have not worked: repairing, uninstalling/reinstalling, deleting temp files, opening the file with a different account/profile, downgrading to Adobe Reader 8.1.3. Anyone have any ideas? This is only happening to one user at my company. I've searched the forums here and it looks like other people are having similar issues but there's really not a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

Are these local or online documents? If online, in what browser? If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

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.

Error with Adobe Acrobat X "error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not recover"

Good morning,
I have a problem when generating PDF files with Adobe Acrobat X.
When I give print a Word document 2003 ... 2007 ... 2010 ... and select a network drive to save the PDF file, I get the following error "error opening the document. Thefile is damaged and not could recover."
The file is saved on your drive well ... but I always get this error.
Any ideas???
Thank you.

First of all thanks for responding.
The installed version of Adobe's Adobe OS X and Windows XP machines is thelatest patch level.
The local system .... works well ... Open Office 2010 ... create a new Word document and save it locally ... and all good.
The problem is though that same machine ... it enters network (not Windows network. OES2 is a network with Novell network client) ... and to open and create a new document to WORD .... when printing the PDF printer ... select a network drive... and when the document is saved well ... but it shows the error.
I have an amount of hours lost with this ... I hope you can help me find a solution.
Thank you very much.

Adobe Acrobat won't open anymore. It says it's "incompatible"

I have been trying to open Adobe Acrobat, but it won't open. I've tried updating. It still won't open and I'm not sure it ever really worked properly, but for some odd reason, it did open once today, then stopped working completely no matter what I do. I've tried updating it. I've tried disabling Symantec Endpoint Protection. Help, please?

What version of Adobe Acrobat?
What version of Windows or MacOS?
What is the COMPLETE message?

Receive continual error messages after downloading Adobe Acrobat Pro; cannot open

I had downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro as a trial and it worked just fine. Just purchased it/upgraded as a subscription last week and I receive a "download completed successfully" message, but when trying to open, get an error message saying the program closed unexpectedly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to receive the same message. Here is the error message I receive. What is the best way to get actual help from Adobe Acrobat XI Pro staff? I received an email from Sara Forsberg at Acrobat.com telling me to wait until my order was complete, and after a week it should certainly be complete by now - still same error message. Very frustrating given the cost of the program and that it is 100% useless so far. Need actual customer service at this point please.

I suggest that you Contact Customer Care - click on the Still need help? button to chat with an agent.
If you need more help from the forums, please post in the Acrobat forum; this is the forum for the Acrobat.com online service.

Adobe Acrobat X not opening PDF correctly

We created a 50+ page document in InDesign CS5 on a mac then exported that to a pdf file using the export feature in InDesign. 100s of people have downloaded this document and able to open and print with no problems. However we have a person that is persistent that the document is not working for them and we are unsure what is going on. She is downloading it from our website, she uses Adobe Acrobat X and says it is a recent version. When she opens it she says as she scrolls to the 4th page she gets a popup stating there is an error and it may not display properly. Some of the pages are showing up incomplete, and some of the pages are missing content we have on the right column. What would be causing these issues? And why has no one else had these problems?

Adobe acrobat X cannot open PDF files in Firefox, though IE can. What gives?

when I download a page that's a PDF file from the Web, Firefox cannot open it, although Internet Explorer can. I just uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 because I had Adobe Reader X installed.

When I enter about:preferences#applications <Enter> in the address bar, then for PDF it shows:
pdf File (application/x-download) ... Use Adobe Acrobat Professional
pdf File (application/x-pdf) .... Use Adobe Acrobat Professional
Portable Document Format (PDF) ... Save File'''
I would like all PDF's to open in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
Right now none of the PDF's open at all, so opening in Firefox or any other viewer would be preferred over not showing up at all.

Adobe Reader doesn't open on Mac

Hi,
I cannot open PDF files on my mac. As per other forums, I have tired deleteing and un-installing all adobe reader, then tried re-downlading it. I still can't get the PDF's to open. I have read through the 'terms' and agree, but it still doesn't open PDFs. When i click to a link I just get a blank page. I'm rather frustrated, I called mac support, they did there best to help me but they couldn't. I can't not find a contact number for adobe, as i have tried following all of the advice given on the forums to no avail. What do i do now? I really would like to be able to open PDF files with Adobe Reader.
Thanks!

You know... you really DON'T need Adobe Reader on a Mac. Preview (part of the OS) is a much better viewer for PDFs. You say you uninstalled. I can only assume by that, you simply dragged the Reader folder to the trash and emptied it. Unfortunately that doesn't remove Preferences or .plist files from your system folder. In order to COMPLETELY remove an app you need to use a "cleaner" like AppZapper that will also remove ALL associated (and hidden) files for the app. Otherwise you install the new app with the same old broken preferences.
Download and install Reader 11 again, then download and run AppZapper (it's a free trial, but well worth the $12.95 to buy if you decide to) to completely remove it. Then download and install Reader again. If it still doesn't work, get back to us here.

Adobe reader doesn't open when word is running

my adobe reader won't open when I have word open. It opens fine with other components of the office suite. I have windows 8 on my machine. I have tried running and accepting eula.exe but this had no effect. Any ideas?

I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.06 and Microsoft office professional plus 2013 version 15.0.4605.1003

Adobe Acrobat Doesn't always open

Hello,
Recently after installing a new nVidao Quadro K2200 video card and driver, when I double-click on a pdf file the file may or may not open. Seems like if I'm opening 3 pdf files the first may take 2 or 3 double-clicks and the second and third pdf file may take two or often just one.
But, I just tried the above test and it didn't hold true.
Also testing opening largest pdf first (10 megs) and then smaller keeping first open - no pattern is number of double-clicks to open a document.
Computer is running Windows 7 Professional Enterprise edition 64-bit and has plenty of RAM and processor.
PDF files are in Dropbox. Moved them to Desktop, no change.
Trying 4 other PDF files:
No change.
Try opening from other PC:
Works perfectly. Every double-click opens the pdf file first time.
I uninstalled Acrobat and re-installed:
No change.
Contacted nVidia Support:
They advised to contact Adobe. Thought it was a file association issue.
I think the video card is confused where to open the pdf file.
I'm running Dual Asus 27 inch monitors in portrait mode and using nVidia Grids setup from within the nView Desktop Manager.
Oh, I see something. None of the open pdf files have the nVidia grid toolbar which allow the user to send the pdf window to a specific grid.
I bet the system delay in opening a pdf is because it's not able to overlay the nvideo grid taskbar thing on top of pdf files.
I'm heading back to nVidia support....

Hello Rahul,
The .pdf files were opening prior to installing the video card.
nVidia online chat support advised I disable the nView Display Manager program which upon disabling the .pdf file opening problem disappeared. however, after re-enabling the same program, the .pdf opening problem resumed.
nVidia support requested I use a utility to generate a video system file, which I did, and sent them the video system file for analysis. nVidia sent me an email describing our online chat and as of yet I have not received a response and continue to have operate with the nView Display Manager disabled.
I think I should mention that the only reason I purchased the nVideo Quadro K2200 card was for the nView Display Manager program which contains a feature called Grid which allows the user to configure the system to divide up multiple large monitors into separate grids which can contain separate application windows snapping into place making for better workflow very helpful while multitasking.
Kind regards,
Sasha
