Adobe not opening

When opening a pdf I get this message:
"Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe without success. Can you help me?

Have no clue, but this is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. It may be you were not logged in as the administrator or had antivirus running during the install. I don't know. There may be an issue that is common to Reader that is the problem (though normally a similar result would show up here). When you post in the Reader forum, be sure to provide information on your OS and version of Reader you are working with. There may be an incompatibility.

Why will Adobe not open pdf files in safari?

In Safari, certain websites show documents as Adbobe PDFs, but Safari won't allow them to open. This issue does not occur in Chrome or Firefox.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Adobe not opening audio files directly anymore.

Hi folks. I have a slight problem when opening up wav files in Audition. For some reason after udating Windows Media Player, it tried to take over as the default program to open WAV files. So, I went into add/remove programs and tried to reset Audition's settings to be the default player. No luck. So, I reinstalled Audition and made sure to click on every file that I wanted to Audition to associate with and still no luck. When I double click on a wave file it opens Audition but there is still no waveform to be displayed. If I want to open the file, I have to right click the file and choose open, or edit with Audition for it to open.The Audition icon is still the default icon however.
Could anyone give me some advice on how to fix this mildly annoying problem?
I appreciate everyone's time and attention, thank you.

I hate software that takes over your computer when you install and Windoze doesn't make it easy to fix sometimes.
Anyhow, another place to try if you're on Vista or Win7 (not sure about earlier versions):
Click on the icon to get the Start Menu and, towards the bottom of the right hand column, you should find "Default Programms" between Control Panel and Help & Support. Click on the "Associate a File type or protocol with a programme" option.
After that loads, you should have a list of programme extensions--scroll down until you get .wav, (and anything else you want Audition as the default for) click it and click on the Change Programme button. Select Audition either from the shortcuts offered or by browsing--and hopefully this might do it.

I am trying to update Adobe Bridge and Photoshop CS6, because it is not opening my CR2 files taken by my Canon 6D. I have tried to go to help > updates, and the software says that it is "Up to Date". However, if I view the plug-in, it says that Camera Raw is only version 7.1. I can not find a direct download for Camera Raw 7.3, only the DNG converter, NOT CAMERA RAW! Please Help!

Did you fix your issue? I am having the same one

Adobe Bridge CS6 will not open

Just started trial of Adobe Photoshop CC ( CS6 and Bridge CS 6)
Photoshop downloaded ok but Bridge CS6 will not open after installation.
I have used Adobe Bridge with CS2 before but since removing CS2 and installing CS6 and Adobe Bridge 6 64Bit Adobe Bridge will not open.
Help

CS2 seems to conflict with CS6. One user found this to work. AppData is a hidden folder in case you try this.
I finally got it to launch via instructions from another web page. In my case, I am running Win 7 Professional 64-bit and previously loaded Photoshop and Bridge versions CS2 (along with Illustrator and InDesign CS2), which might have been part of the problem. The solution for me was to create an empty "Bridge CS2" folder in the C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\. Worked like a charm.
You might have to use the Adobe Script Cleaner to get rid of traces of the CR2 files.

Adobe Bridge CS3 not opening Photoshop Image Processor

I selected one, four, and multiple pictures in Bridge to reduce the file size of jpgs. I went to Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor. Nothing happened. Photoshop did not open. That got me to thinking that sometimes while I am in Photoshop Bridge won't open either. Any ideas on resolving issue of "Bridge not opening Photoshop Image Processor" would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Curt Y, Everything is checked in the "Startup Scripts," including Bridge (twice) and Photoshop (twice). Not sure why duplicate entries but there are.
If you mean that you have two of the same versions (both CS3) in there that indicates there is something wrong with your install
If you have any suggestions regarding being able to access the Image Processor to resize pictures and such without first opening Photoshop, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, the work around will have to suffice.
My first goal would be to reset the preferences for both PS and Bridge and then try again

And inhere also info on how to retrieve your path for cache to manual delete it.

I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

Adobe CC not opening (PDapp.exe loads then it stops)

Hey everyone!
Would love any assistance on this. We have deployed a few lab machines with Adobe CC2014 installed. Windows 7 64Bit on a Lenovo S30 with 8 GB of RAM. Last week I got a ticket that some of them were asking for the sign in info again.When I went to sign them in the sign in screen was different. It validated my email address with a green check mark as opposed to before where you just entered the login/password without it giving a check mark when signing in.
When I went up to check out this issue there were a few machines that would not open Photoshop or any Adobe CC program when clicked on by shortcut or the .exe in Program Files. It doesnt even show up in the task manager. Installed all Windows updates and disabled antivirus to see if there was something blocking it to no avail.
I saw that when I deleted the OOBE folder in the Administrator AppData folder (I was logged in as Administrator) Photoshop.exe would show up in task manager and then PDapp.exe*32 would show up and then photoshop would disappear.from the task manager and not load either way even when it was in the Task Manager.
On half of the machines photoshop opens up incredibly fast so I know it is not the deployment but whatever changed last week to update the login screen. I am trying to figure out what would stop any CC program from opening (my feeling is the PDapp.exe is doing something. We have so many people that log into these computers and depend on CC opening. Any help would be wonderful.

John, good suggestion but Adobe's chat support is down for another week and a half so that solution wouldnt work.
It looks like they released an Application Manager update that broke our deploy package. After logging into the new application manager that was installed as an update last week in our labs all cc products stopped working.
After removing PDapp from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE and reinstalling the application manager our programs now boot as 30 day trials which is better than nothing. I am trying to figure out how to get to a "License This Product" screen to enter our volume key. Anyone know how to get to a screen where you can enter a product key in a 30 day trial?

After downloading & installing application of adobe creative suite cs2 version 6, screen of adobe photoshop cs2 is not opened by clicking icon . message is giving " ausba4.dll " was not present. Please guide me.?

I have downloaded & installed adobe creative suit cs2 version 6 but when I click the icon of adobe photoshop in desktop it is not opened & giving message " this application has failed to start because " ausba4.dll " was not found. reinstalling of the application may fix the problem " I have reinstall & opened many times but even then it is not opened. Please guide me accordingly.

I'd try disabling the Twain_32.8BA plugin in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
You can disable the plugin by putting an ~ (tilde) in front of the name or moving the plugin to your desktop.
Then try photoshop cs2 and see if you still get the error message.
I suspect the error has to do with your scanner driver, since photoshop cs2 does not have an ausba4.dll

Adobe Bridge CC will not open

Hello,
I have quite a few CC products downloaded. Everything has been working fine, but then Bridge stopped opening. I uninstalled Bridge CC and reinstalled and I still can not open the program as a stand alone, or from within Photoshop CC. I click on the application, the icon bounces on the bottom doc and then closes. In Photoshop, I click "browse in Bridge" or "open Mini Bridge"-I get a message, "waiting for Bridg"e and then the program does not open.
I started having a problem when I followed Adobe's directions and tried to add the "Import Workspace ( I was trying to made contact sheets in Bridge) into the approporiate application's folder in Bridge. For some reason, this computer did not like me doing this. On my other mac, (not running maverick), everything (the import panel was successfully added) is fine. I went ahead and unistalled Bridge and reinstalled it on my laptop, but still can not open Bridge.
Before I uninstall and reinstall Bridge CC again, I have a feeling there must be something else I should be doing or checking to see what is going on. Is there a hidden cache? I have just updated all my cc apps and thought maybe there was a bug, but the program still will not open.
I am using mac, Maverick.
Here is a screen shot of the program folders.
Help would be appreciated as the hold time for Adobe is 30 minutes plus.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Ok, 6 hours later it's a fix for me!
Not sure if it'll work for you but it was quite simple.
Open Finder > (go) Computer > Macintosh HD (for me) > Users > Click once on the Home icon (main admin) > Get Info >
click on lock and authorise bottom right > click on cog wheel drop down > click on 'Apply to enclosed items' > OK
Close info window and try to open bridge

Adobe CS3: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and Flash (Not opening)

Hi,
I have had the adobe creative suite suite 3 Deisgn premium for over an year now. Recently over the past 2 months I am no longer able to open up any of the following programs:
Photoshop
Dreamweaver
Illustrator
Flash
They have worked for me in the past but now they are just not opening up for me. I have tried plenty of things such as:
Uninstalling the whole cd then reinstalling
Calling customer service
Browsing/googling for ways to fix it
Yet I still have been yet to get this issue resolved. I have tried installing the CS4 30 day trial and that works fine. But I want my CS3 version to work. I tried everything. The thing is I do not get an error message either on the these so there is no way of titling this issue. If it helps I have windows vista. Well please let me know what you come up with . My email is [email protected] Thank you!

What does happen?     When I double click on them nothing happens for a second it gives me the loading signal but nothing comes up.
You say no error message - how far in the boot process does the program get? Does it just not respond at all? Does the program load-box appear and freeze? Does the program load-box appear and dissapear? Does the computer freeze up in the middle of the load?
           You never end up seeing anything for any of the applications except for photoshop which loads but then closes right away. So it just doesnt respond at all. But there is no freezing. So the load-box only appears and dissapears when I open photoshop. but for everything else it just never appears.
Does the process display in your processes list?
            No it does not display
Did you install/uninstall/delete anything around the time this started?
I'm pretty sure I didnt uninstall or install anything around the time it started. I think I would remember if it did. So i'm pretty sure I did not.
Did you try going back to a restore point before this started? No I did not.
Have you run a thorough virus scan? Yes I have and nothing comes up.
