Adobe Acrobat Reader XI v11.0.07 shows grey boxes

Having downloaded the Free reader on a new install of Windows 7 Pro I am finding that most of the PDF's that I have and could view before are now showing as grey boxes.These are PDF's that I have saved on my PC and they are viewed on my PC. I do not use IE at all - never use it... I use Google Chrome as my browser and this is set to use Chrome PDF rather than the adobe add-in.
Any help would be appreciated.
Acrobat Reader XI v11.0.07

Pat Willener,
Good morning,
I used only the "ADOBE READER XI (11.0.07) - Portuguese" (1).
Commented on the ACROBAT (2) only to illustrate that, like (1), do not
change the original (confirmed by you).
If I have spreadsheet templates and documents to use and change data,
could not use pdf.
This program (1), it seems that is only in one direction without reversing.
Sorry if I insist, it is very important for me to know.
Grateful for the willingness to help.

Dear Adobe people ...
This is a user-to-user forum; you do not address Adobe staff here.
The original post was about an installation on a beta version of Windows 7, which was not supported at the time.
If you have a problem with a different version of Adobe Reader on a different version of Windows 7, please open a new topic.
I'd gladly address Adobe staff directly about it if they didn't make it so difficult to do so but there are notices galore on their website restricting the ways of doing so for this particular product. That said, I accept that they may not review these posts and act on bugs found (although why is beyond me, I know if I was a developer of software and I wanted it to be top quality, I'd be looking everywhere I can for sources of bugs having been found and I certainly wouldn't make it any more difficult than an ordinary bug submission on any other software to report it).
It's clear to me that the problem originally posted about that shows up in Win 7 RC, is still present in the latest software and popping its ugly head up under Win 7 RTM. If they'd nipped it in the bud back then it should be fixed by now - that's annoying. I've been using online forums for a long time and I know it's always a good idea to search for a solution or similar thread and post in that if present, rather than opening an entirely new thread. As the bug is the same, the Adobe software version is very similar and the OS is just an earlier non-RTM version and there are no set forums for bugs within specific RTM vs RC/Beta OS's I posted here.
I'm not going to start a new thread because if, as you say there's no addressing of Adobe Staff here (and you haven't mentioned you have inside connections and will pass it on) what's the point? I will make one phonecall to Abobe in an effort to report this but there needs to be more open ways of bug reporting, even if it is a free product.

Adobe Acrobat Reader displaying boxes in place of dashes

My company is having an issue with Word documents that have dashes and are converted to PDF. On the resulting PDF when viewed with Acrobat Reader, the dashes are being displayed as boxes instead of dashes. This is causing an issue with an OCR application that one of our clients is using resulting in the document to show as blank after the first box is encountered.
I have searched for possible reasons why this could be happening and I have not been successful.
Most of our users utilize Nuance PDF Create 7.0 and some still use Amyuni PDF Converter 2.1 to convert their Word documents to PDF. I have tried to replicate this and have not been able to. I have used Word 2003, 2007 and 2010 along with each PDF converter listed above as well as Adobe Acrobat reader version 9.1.0, 9.3.0 and 10.1.6 to view the PDFs.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

What wiki? What 64-bit version of Adobe reader (there isn't one AFAIK)?
Please be more informative in your questions. Better yet, search before asking, which should lead you to the well-known conclusion that Adobe does not have a 64-bit reader for linux (yet).

Adobe Acrobat Reader X Crashes

I initially posted this in the wrong forum (I derped and posted this in Forms. ^^;) So I'm posting this here again...
Hi there,
I'm having an issue with Adobe Acrobat Reader X. It seems to crash all the time whenever I try to open a .pdf online. They seem to open just fine when not embedded in a browser, but thing is, I can't get them to open by themselves, in Reader, because when I try to save the link, my computer will save it as a webpage and not as a .pdf file. (Although this could have something to do with my online course which is where I am trying to open files from.)
The page will open, briefly show itself, and then promptly crash. Many times an error message box will appear, but there will be nothing in it but a question mark and an OK button, as if Acrobat has no idea what's going on either. lol
I've tried updating Acrobat, uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing works. I really need this program to work as I won't be able to view any of my online school work without it.
Here are my computer's stats:
Dell XPS 8300i5
Processor: Intel Core i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00 GHz
RAM: 8 gigs
System type: 64 bit
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6450
Thank you!
P.S. I've tried scouring the forums to see if I could find an answer to this but perhaps I'm not looking in the right place or I'm entering in the wrong information, but I haven't founda anything.

Actually you need to run the 32 bit version of IE, since there are no separate plugins for a 64 bit version.
Could you also try manually deleting all the files/folders from the installation directory (it would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0 by default) EXCEPT for the "Setup Files" folder. Now try and repair the application from within the Control Panel (Programs and Features) and see if it resolves the issue.
In the meanwhile, you could try the following workaround to circumvent the browser crash.
1. Open Adobe Reader and goto Edit > Preferences
2. In the Internet Pane, uncheck the option for "Display PDF in browser"
3. Close all windows and try accessing any PDF in the browser. It will now ask you to save the file on your hard disk rather than opening it in the browser.
Thanks

There is a problem with adobe acrobat reader please exit adobe acrobat reader and try again 101:101

I'm trying to access some web PDF files via SharePoint Application but i got this error message "there is a problem with adobe acrobat reader please exit adobe acrobat reader and try again 101:101"
my operating system is Win 7 and I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0

I'm having the same problem. Only I have Windows XP and at the end of the error message it shows 103.103. Please let me know if and when you get an answer or remedy to this problem. Thanks!

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.

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)

Trying to open a streamed PDF in an IFRAME in Internet Explorer 9 on my Win7 64bit machine.
This results in the following dialog:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)
The PDF is streamed (not read from disc) from a servlet in our Java WebSphere environment and the call looks like this:
https://intranetserver.com/myapplication/OpenDocumentServlet.pdf?documentToOpenID=1
The Servlet sets content-type header application/pdf and content-length and writes the bytes to the buffer.
Does the error dialog even come from Acrobat? When the dialog opens there is no active AcrReader process visible in task manager.
Please advise!

Problem with adobe acrobat/reader

Hello,
I am having problems with adobe. I am trying to open an old bamk statment but I keep getting "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. If it is running please exit and start again (103:103)
Or it will say "Adobe reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I am using windows xp IE8
In my add/remove programs there is "adobe reader 9.5.3" and below that there is "adobe reader XI (11.0.03)
I tried to repair or patch then restarted my computer but the same problem. I tried to remove them but they won't remove.
PLEASE someone help me.
Thank You in advance
GOD Bless

Yep it works. I think the reason I had the reader 11.0.03 was a few months ago I asked me to click for an upgrade. The one that I had was the one you gave me last year. I don't know how/why it didn't delete the older one, or maybe it was an offer from some other site. I just saw the word upgrade and figured it was suppose to. Funny thing is, The files I was having trouble to see last night, I was able to see them 2 days earlier and it didn't prevent me firm seeing them then, and I hadn't messed with the adobe for a few months. GO FIGURE!!
While your here, do you happen to know of an excellent system tool cleaner I could get from amazon?? I got a desktop from Listia hew/used and before I get my stuff transferred from this one to my new one I want to get something that runs in the background to keep it running smooth, and this laptop I'm using is about 10 years old and getting sluggish. I've tried one or two that I bought online that offer free download then charge to fix it. So I once or twice bought the download clicked the fix, and it shows EVERYTHING is fixed. Then run another scan and there would be more things need fixing so would click fix again, run a third scan and still have more to fix. So I would have to call the place I bought it from to get my money back.
I look on amazon and read peoples reviews but just can't decode which one to get. The ones that sound great are old versions. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, just something that get old stuff off. There are so many programs on the add/remove but I don't want to take the chance to remove something only to find out I shouldn't have. Do you know what I mean?? All of them on web sites and like on tv claim to be good but are really junk.
I do surveys online to make extra money fixedincome due to sever RA in my back and focus groups online, to things get thick I don't want my computer to get bougged down
So if you happen to have any suggestions please tell me. If your allowed to. Thanks again

How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 completely?

How to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 and Adobe Download Manager completely?
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 3 and I don't want to uninstall that.

Hi
Most Mac applications come in self-contained packages (ctrl-click, or right-click, & you will see Show Package Contents), they can just be dragged to the trash.
Some applications have their own uninstaller which must be run.
With Adobe Reader 8, I believe the icon in Applications is a folder so just drag it to the trash & empty the trash. I believe Download Manager (Applications/Utilities) should be the same. Someone may know different.
There is also AppZapper or AppDelete. These work by you dragging & dropping the application you wish to delete onto its icon, AppZapper/AppDelete then pulls all parts of that application together then moves it to the trash.

Can not "see" Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in Google Chrome Plugins? Find in IE.

Downloaded new version of Reader twice and still can not see it in Google Chrome plugsin. Windows 7 with latest version of Google Chrome?
Suggestions?

Hi C N,
Going forward, the Adobe Reader plugin will not be supported in Chrome. The Chromium team has decided to remove support for NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader. Here's a blog post that describes their decision - http://blog.chromium.org/2014/11/the-final-countdown-for-npapi.html
On Windows, it is still possible to change the Chrome default PDF viewing behavior by configuring plugins (chrome://plugins). When doing that Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is showing as an out of date version. Enabling that configuration in current versions of Chrome will allow PDF files to open in the Adobe plugin, but that is not a supported configuration.
On Mac, that configuration is not supported. When doing that a message is shown that the EULA needs to be accepted before viewing, even if that is no longer required.
To view PDF files in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, we recommend that you download the file in Chrome and open it from your desktop.
Regards,
Rave

Repeated notification that "Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in" in Firefox is "out of date" after the upgrade is downloaded and installed.

I have tried to update the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, along with the plug-in in Firefox v37.0.1. Repeatedly, after the download/installation is "complete", upon opening Firefox I'm met with the message that the "Adobe Acrobat plug-in" is "out of date". I tried rebooting my machine, uninstalling Acrobat Reader DC (which works as a stand-alone), and still the plug-in is never updated (the one listed is from early December 2014) and the reminder always reappears with opening Firefox. Can anyone help with this?

Sorry about the issue which you are facing. It would be helpful if you could share the firefox notification message screenshot.
Also, please check that the firefox plugins show the correct Adobe Acrobat Reader DC plugin. If possible, please share the firefox plug in screenshot as well.

Adobe X vs Adobe Acrobat Reader

I am trying to review some on line documents. The requirement is to have Adobe Acrobat Reader. My desktop shows I have Adobe X. It is also listing in my programs but does not show installed in my area of install/uninstall. Can you kindly advise if Adobe X is adequate or do I need to download something more. I am using a PC with Vista. Thank you.

There is no such thing as Adobe X. There is an Adobe Acrobat, and an Adobe Reader (not an Adobe Acrobat Reader). Which of the two are you talking about?

Adobe Acrobat Reader problem

I have not been able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to work on my phone. My company distributes instruction via pdf files, and I'd been taking my laptop with me on service calls. I still have to do that, because I can't access any .pdf file on my phone except the overly red introductory how-to blurb. One thing that stands out for me is that the app doesn't show up in my app list what so ever. It's listed when I find the 'manage applications' tab. I've tried to download the update, and still no functionality. I uninstalled the update, in hopes of being able to re-install. Is the apps list supposed to include the Adobe Acrobat reader in the list/grid, or am I supposed to only have to go to my list of downloads to get to .pdf's. The downloads list shows where I've tried to download the file, but it always says "download failed".
Am I doing something incorrectly, or is this something that I need to do a factory reset on the phone to rectify? I have the updated Verizon software, but haven't checked to see if there's anything to update to the operating system.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the only Adobe Reader from the Play Store that is from Adobe Systems multiple times.
Is there another setting besides the wifi/data connection option I need to change?
I've gone through the Settings menu to the Applications menu and selected Manage Applications. The Adobe Reader is listed under "All", and when I select that particular app, it's indicating that version 10.1.1 is on the phone. The only options available are to back out of this tab in the menu, or selecting Force Stop.
I suspect that in the first few days of having the phone and the "ooh look at mommy's new toy!" someone may have deleted or removed the app somehow, or otherwise caused some kind of disconnection or malfunction. Going back to the Play Store to try again, the Adobe Reader app only has "Open" or "Update" as options for downloading. I downloaded the update (again) and it is showing version 10.3.0, but the downloads are still failing.
What other little quirks and details am I missing as far as settings, updates, or menu selections? Or should I just back up my pictures and files, and reset the phone back to factory defaults and start over again?

Hi,
It looks like you do not have access to the registry key mentioned i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MSFS.
This might be due to the fact that you may not be added to the Administrators group or the registry key has been denied access explicitly to a group that you may be part of.
People in my network setup were facing the same issue, and we fixed the same using Microsoft's "subinacl" tool. You can follow the below mentioned steps to rectify your issue as well:
1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool fromhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> Run and type "cmd" and click OK)
4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
ii. subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
You should see some processes happening on your screen. After the process ends, retry the operation you were originally trying to perform. Hopefully, they should succeed now.
