Adobe Acrobat Reader options please.

I have a password protected PDF file I need to read, preview cannot access it, I really don't want to use Adobe products because of the bloat and most importantly I don't want the Adobe Download Manager.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

No problem opening a password protected PDF in Preview here. Both in Leopard and Snow Leopard. First thing Preview does is open a red screen noting that the file is password protected, and a text field to enter it.
If you want to try the least intrusive way to fix Preview, use Pacifist to reinstall just Preview from your OS X installation disk. However, that will very likely install an older version that needs to be updated to your current level of Leopard. You then use Pacifist again, only this time on the 10.5.8 Combo updater and install Pacifist from there. Since what's in the combo is only incremental files, when Pacifist asks what to do, choose Update.
Long way around, reinstall the OS and apply all available updates.
Shortest way around, try a different Mac.

    We have Adobe Reader 8.1.3 set to open in the browser.
    We are trying to open PDF files within IE Browser. While opening multiple documents in the IE Browser, we get "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." error, once we click on the "OK" button, PDF file opens in the Adobe reader. This happens randomly while some files open up in IE Browser and some files get the above mentioned error message and open in the Adobe Reader.
    We need to open all the PDF files in the IE Browser. Any input is greatly appreciated.

    I may be better off without the tool bar, but I have found anohter solution;
    .  Open Adobe Reader,
                go to edit menu,
                under Preferences
                go to Internet, uncheck "Display pdf in browser"
    The pdf files then open, but not in the browser

  • Problem with adobe acrobat/reader - please help!

    Hello,
    My acrobat reader was fine and I was able to open the pdf files sent to me, then suddenly it just wouldn't open anything at all.  It went into open mode and just stayed there, and wouldn't let me close it.  Then I got a message saying "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader.  Please exit and try again".  I've done this lots of times and it still isn't working.
    I would be very grateful for any help or suggestions.  I have windows 7, and as I said its all been fine up until now.
    Thanks.

    This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. You should check the reader forum. In the meantime, if you are not running AR9.3 or so, you should update. Prior versions before 9 are not designed for Win7 and that might be your issue -- you gave no indication of version.

  • Error: "There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader..." What is .MST file??

    I get the following error message and I looked it up in the knowledge base, and there was a solution for fixing the error message. However, I have no idea what they are talking about. I have downloaded the Customization Wizard, but I have no clue what the following means:
    A) Create a new transform
    B) Open your previously created .mst file
    I went into the C Drive and opened Program Files. I found the Adobe folder, but I couldn't find an .mst file anywhere. Am I completely lost??? Below is the knowledge base solution:
    Error: "There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader..." when you view a PDF in a browser (Acrobat and Adobe Reader 8 on Windows)
    Issue
    When you try to view a PDF in Internet Explorer, you see the error message, "There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." When you click OK to the error, the PDF opens outside of the browser.
    Reason
    When you use the Adobe Customization Wizard to create a transform for Adobe Acrobat 8 or Adobe Reader 8, and you choose the option to "Make Acrobat the default viewer if both Acrobat and Reader are installed", or "Make Reader the default viewer if both Acrobat and Reader are installed", an error occurs if the computer does not have Acrobat or Reader already installed.
    Solution
    Create a new transform and re-deploy Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    Start the Adobe Customization Wizard 8.
    Open your previously created .mst file.
    Under Installation Options, select "Installer will decide which product will be the default".
    Save the transform.
    Re-deploy Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    Additional Information
    When you create a transform in Adobe Customization Wizard 8, the installation options allow you to set the default viewer for PDF files. "Installer will decide which product will be the default" is the default setting and should be used when you are uncertain if the target machine has a version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader that won't be removed as part of the installation process. When installed silently using this option, Acrobat will always be configured as the default viewer.

    I think you are headed down the wrong path. The Customization Wizard is what you use to push out Reader to several hundred computers. An MST is a package or transform file that is used to accomplish this task. Unless you are an IT person and are trying a deployment of Reader this solution does not fit your situation.

  • There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

    I have XP professional, IE 8, and Adobe Reader 9.3.  When I try to open any pdf files from a web page I see the following error: "These is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again. "
    Although, the web pdf rendering returns an error, I'm able to open pdf files locally.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I had similar problems with Windows XP SP3 and Adobe Reader 9.3 and I uninstalled AR 9.3 and went to:
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/  and installed Adobe Reader 8.3.  No problems after that. However,
    ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ  posted this reply to one of my earlier posts. So, I don't know what to think...

  • "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)

    We are getting the following error "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)" and a gray screen appears (Image not viewable) with multiple users. We are using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05) and (11.0.06). The current workaround is to log off the website and log back in. Once the user logs back in, the pdf will appear. However it occurs anywhere from 2-8 times in a day. Anyone else having this issue or know of another workaround? Any suggestion with how to fix? Please help!!

  • There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running please exit and try again. (0:521)

    There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running please exit and try again. (0:521)
    Although I have found other threads in this forum relating to this error - none of the fixes appear to work. I've not found precisely the same error number (0:521), might I need a different fix for this? Has anyone else had the same error?
    Just to note, this appears to be an issue with Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 while viewing pdfs 'in-browser' i.e. using the plugin. Other versions of IE on other machines and FF on the same machine work fine on the same pdfs. It also works if you right click the pdf, download and view it in Acrobat Reader 'locally'.
    Any help greatly appreciated, I'm stumped.

    We were getting the same error on a Win 7 machine which had Acrobat 7 (running in compatability mode) and Reader X installed.  When the user was trying to open the link from an email the error 'There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat.....(0:521) would appear and the pdf would not load.
    Investigating the problem I can across an article to uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet).  Undertaking this procedure in Acrobat Reader X however, I could not uncheck this and the path the app was showing was for Acrobat 7!?!
    Therefore, opened Acrobat 7 and undertook the same procedure.  Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet) which I was able to do, saved and closed the application.
    Rechecked Acrobat X and the "Display PDF in browser" could be deselected and the path was now for ..\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
    Retried the original email with the link to the pdf and it now opens without error.
    Not too sure if this will help but just thought I would share.

  • Acrobat plug-in. I get this when try to opem. The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again. Don't problems w/ Internet Explorer-

    Acrobat plug-in.
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.

    See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
    You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
    It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
    You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
    If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

  • The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.OK. I followed the instruction and the problem still persists.

    I got the following pop-up when I tried to open an online PDF file:

    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
    I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
    The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280

    After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
    My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
    Hope that helps!
