Adobe PDF Document error pop ups while web surfing

I have a strange issue with either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. Randomly while looking at websites or loading a website an Adobe error pops up that says, "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 try agian." Then after hitting OK a couple times a blank PDF pops up. After closing it another PDF file pops up. Finally after closing the second PDF window does it go away.
Adobe isn't even open when it happens. Also it happens when just clicking MSN on the favorites. Not even trying to open a PDF in Adobe, and yet this error shows up.
Please help me because I am very confused by this issue.

Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
Either use a browser that uses the Adobe plugin, or configure Chrome to use the Adobe PDF plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

When you see a PDF link in Safari, click on it. It will preview in Safari. Then click the Share icon, and choose Open With, then select Adobe Reader.

One or more PDF documents are open inside a web browser - message

Hi,
I have a new L series notebook and its great. The only foible I can think of is a message I keep getting when I try to shutdown. There is a message box that says "One or more PDF documents are open inside a web browser. If you exit adobe reader now, those documents will be closed. Are you sure you want to exit?".
The thing is I do not have any PDF's or web browsers open at the time! Can you help me please?
Thanks, Mark.

Hi Mark
Believe me its nothing serious the same happens on my notebook from time to time
Usually the PDF files can be read with the Adobe Acrobat reader. This application service runs in the OS background and this message can appears if the Adobe Acrobat reader cannot close the background process automatically
I have solved this tiny problem by removing the acrobat reader from the system. After new reboot I have reinstalled it again
Now the message does not appear and all runs like a dream ;)

Firefox crashes when opening any Adobe pdf document from internet. This only seems to happens with firefox 6.0.2. Pls assist how to solve problem

Good day,
Please note Firefox is crashing every time I tried to open a pdf document I find in any internet webside. This is happening since I have installed Firefox 6.0.2. I temporarily solved the issue going back to Firefox 5. The problem is that my Mac installs automatically all the updates that might come from Firefox, including new or greater versions.... So, here I am again with Firefox 6.0.2 and not able to open Adobe pdf documents.....
Would you please kindly assist to fix this issue...? Please note I have systematically sent a report every time Firefox has crashed, so you might have quite a few by now!
Many thanks in advance for all your help and assistance.
Francesca.

Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents

Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents
I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Computer
I have read all the suggestions and I have tried downloading multiple versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.
Prior to downloading each version I would delete the current version using control panel programs uninstall.
After each new installation I would shut down the computer and then restart the computer.
I have tried downloading versions with and without having my antivirus (CA Total Defence) running.
I am told after download that the version downloaded successfully.
I have read Acrobat Help http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.
None of the above has helped.
The problem is no matter what version of Adobe Reader I download, I cannot seem to open a PDF and read it. Nor will the Reader itself stay open.
1. If I try opening the reader from the desktop link or from the actual program menu, the reader opens for about 5 seconds and then closes of its own accord. If I try to click on any of the reader menus (eg File, Edit, View, Window, Help, Tools) then a warning bell is sounded and the menu does not open. Shortly thereafter the reader closes.
2. If I try to open the reader by double clicking on a PDF document then the reader opens but the document is not shown (only the grey PDF reader screen is shown) and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
The desktop shortcut shows as the 'red Adobe Reader icon'. But the actual program menu icon shows as a blank folder icon. All PDF documents show as the PDF Adobe icon.
I have tested various PDFs and none will open on this computer but they will open on other computers.
I have created a word document and saved it as a PDF. It looked like it had save correctly (has the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it as per step 2 above then the document is not shown and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix this?
Could you please answer in this forum and email me at [removed]
I am so puzzled and frustrated.

Thank you so much this did the trick.
I spent so many hours on trying to sort this out and your answer was so simple and clear.

Acrobat cannot open files in the "Adobe PDF document" format

The document “example.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format.
Hi All,
Running Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 on Snow Leopard, have never had this problem before. Showed up about a week ago, I believe with new update. Can't double click on a file in Finder, or drag and drop to AcrobatPro in Dock, but can open from within Acrobat Pro / File / Open command.
All my preferences are correct with "Open With Acrobat Pro" as the default.
I've read all the threads I can find with no answers yet.
Anyone found and answer, I see a lot of us are going through this over the last year.
Only possible common thread I have found is possibly HP printers. But I've been running HP printers all along with no issues.
Thanks for you input.

Moved to Acrobat Installation & Update Issues
Either Acrobat needs to be re-installed or the file is named as a pdf file, but it is not a pdf file. Try opening the pdf file in a text editor and read off what the first line of the file is.

I cannot print adobe pdf documents as it is password protected. I forgot my password. How do I fix this problem?

I cannot print adobe pdf documents. Password protected. How do I fix this problem?

You'll need to remember it or recreate the PDF from the original file.
If there were an easy way to get around that, passwords wouldn't be worth much.

Some Adobe PDF documents don't print from Adobe Reader; with other software it works correctly

Dear community,
I'm facing the problem that some Adobe PDF documents with lots of colors and lines (size less than 3 MB) don't print on our printers from Adobe Reader XI.
The same files when opened with PDF XChange or PDF Architect are printed out without problems.
How can I provide an Adobe Reader that is able to do so? Any recommendations about solving the issue are very appreciated.
Best regards
Christian

Word document problem fixed at the moment by deleting and adding the Lexmark printer again.

Finder crashes and restarts when Adobe PDF documents are accessed.

Recently I've been having problems with my Finder crashing (window closes and the dot under the Finder icon in the Dock goes out) and restarting (dot under the icon in the Dock comes back on). The problem occurs when I select an Adobe PDF document in the Finder. I use column view. If I click once on a document to see the Preview information in the next column, or if I double click to open the document, the crash and restart occurs. However, it doesn't happen for all Adobe PDF documents. If the icon next to the document name in the Finder shows the first page of the document, the problem does no occur. But if the document icon remains the Adobe logo, the problem occurs.
I'm running Os X 10.5.5 on one of the early iMacs. Other than regular Apple updates, the only software change I've made recently is to install Adobe Flash Player.

Here's an update.
The problem seems to be confined to the Finder when Column view is selected. When List or Icon view is selected there is no crash and restart. When Cover Flow is selected the Finder crashes and restarts, but the pattern seems a bit odd. It crashes when some folders or subfolders are selected, but not others.
In Column view the problem occurs for some Adobe PDF documents where the document icon is the first page. It occurs for all PDF documents where the icon is the Adobe logo.

My adobe/ PDF documents are password protected. How can I remove the password?

@My adobe/ PDF documents are password protected. How can I remove the password?

Hello,
two answers I found in my library about removing or finding unknown password:
Removing: "Not with any Adobe products, and other products are not discussed on these forums..."
Open a file: "The only way to open a password protected file is to know the password (there's no way to get around that). Hopefully you know who created the PDF and can get the password from them."

Adobe pdf document's help

Hi
when ever i try to open a adobe pdf document's i get there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader.please exit adobe acrobat/reader and try again. i do with no luck. i tryed to uninstall/reinstall my adobe reader 9.3.1 still will not open adobe pdf document's. can anyone please tell me how to open this?
thank you i have ie 8 windows 7 32bit

Hi indi68632954,
I can understand your concern & you need to worry about this, as your PC folders won't be available on other PC's as this option is just to browse through the files of the specific system on which you are working as shown in the screenshot below.
Only the files uploaded on the Document cloud will be available over Internet using Adobe Document Cloud service upon the authentication of your Adobe ID & password.
I hope this will answer your query.
In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
Aadesh

Open secured adobe pdf documents

How do i open secured adobe pdf documents on a surface touch rt with windows 8?

Adobe Reader Touch does not support protected/encrypted PDF documents yet. Sorry for the inconvenience.

OK. If both of you are Windows 7. Make sure you go to Windows update (START button, type in Windows Update). Check for updates and update whatever that are available. (especially Microsoft .NET Framework 4 )
After that see if you still get this error message.
The last resort would be to unistall and reinstall the whole thing.
Follow the steps below:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

Adobe PDF Document

Getting XP window "Adobe PDF Document", says "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again."
?Should I delete Adobe Reader XI and download a new one?

I have tried your suggestion...no luck!
The ADOBE CLEANER appeared to work OK. When I tried to download from the http://get.adobe...etc... website, I get "System has detected that you already have a more functional product installed.....terminate."
When I look at the Add/Remove Programs list, there is a pgm called "Adobe Reader X (10.1.6)". When I try to Remove it I get the message "The feature you are trying to remove is on a network resource that is not available."
