It seems some files that were able to open with previous version of acrobat freeze when i try to open them, several instances have happened with regular pdf files, oprtfolios and number of times files come up with the out of memory message.
all computers run acrobat x, and 32 bit version of windows 7, with 4 GB of ram physically installed in the machines.
Please advise.

Hi
Can you share one such document with me? Is there something common in the way these documents were created? For example if all of them were created through Scanning or web capture...

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Acrobat distiller won't open file from word to create pdf

I can choose acrobat from word and print pdf -- but acrobat pro 9 gives me an error message when I try to select a file from word to create a pdf. I can print acrobat from word but not from acrobat
The error message just says can't open, check if you have read permissions for this file. I've been doing this, but now it won't select a file from word.
Thanks.

Sorry Bill, It's Word 7. I can create an acrobat pdf by choosing it when I print in word but if I try to create a pdf from acrobat - from the file - it won't work. I get the same error. Can't open do you have read priviledges. Not sure what that is or if there is a setting someplace that got checked or unchecked.
Thanks.

My adobe acrobat XI Pro has been constantly freezing when I open documents.

My adobe acrobat XI Pro has been constantly freezing when I open documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, changed some settings based on community threads, nothing is working. I have to close the document, open it back up and wait at least 60 seconds before I can do anything. I use Adobe pdfs for everything this is very bad. I am using MS Office 365, and Adobe CC on Windows 8.1.

Hi Kate,
Please refer to this KB doc. for the solution Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon
Let me know if the issue persist.

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument.

Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument. Version X and lower all worked fine. I have deleted and reinstalled the program with no success. Is this a bug?

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

Adobe reader x won't open in xp

adobe reader x won't open in xp.. I have uninstalled and reloaded it still will not work

I did the following and it fixed the problem...
Let us assign permissions to the C drive(or the drive where you have installed the OS) and then check.
To apply permissions to a file or folder for a user:
a. Right-click on the C drive and then click Properties.
c. Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
d. Do one of the following:
i. To set permissions for a user that is not listed under Group or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select the permissions, and then click OK.
ii. To change or remove permissions from an existing group or user, click the name of the group or user, select the permissions, and then click OK.

Adobe Acrobat documents continue to open in web browser...

Hi,
I have a situation with
Web application general setting "Browser File Handing" set to strict in the general settings. Also tried changing to permissive, does not help.
Site collection "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" feature Enabled
Document library advanced setting "Default open behavior for browser-enabled documents" set to Open in the client application.
The documents still open in the browser. Any suggestions? Can serverfiles.xml help?
Regards,
Arsalan.

There is no server-side solution. This is a client-side application configuration. It is basically an ActiveX plugin that Adobe Acrobat installs to handle opening documents in the browser, SharePoint has no control over it.

My elements 11 won't open files, can someone help?

I have photoshop elements 11. It was working and then I had to close the program and go do something else. When I turned my computer back on I couldn't get elements to open any of my files. It won't open Jpg or Raw. I've tried restarting my computer mulitple times and It hasn't changed. It still won't open files. It will freeze and then close out of the program. Can someone please help me? I just recently got this program for christmas and i'm really wanting it to work.

Please try this:
Solution 1:
1) Close Elements.
2) Hit on PSE desktop icon to launch welcome screen
3) Click Alt+Ctrl+Shift on your keyboad and with all three keys pressed click Photo editor. Do not release when you will see a dialog box asking you to delete the PSE preferences.
4) Hit ok and check now.
Solution 2:
1) Launch Editor.
2) Hit File->open and choose any small file of size < 1 MB and see if it opens fine
3) Try file->open as and choose any file and choose camera raw from file format and when shown ACR dialog box hit ok and will open file in editor.
I hope you are not importing fron any network location which might cause the process to slow or freeze depending on network settings and secutiry issues.
Let me know your comments,
thanks,
Garry

Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

My Acrobat Pro won't open, how do I restore it?

Yes, updates run each time I reinstall Bill.
On one forum, it was suggested to download Adobe cleaner. I ran it every time before reinstalling. Adobe XI Pro works after that, but is so unstable. Cant figure out what triggers it to stop launching.
