Adobe PDF won't download

I got an email from the HR dept of my new job and it includes a PDF attachment for me to download. When I try to download it just has a pop up that says to download the latest version of Adobe. When I do that, it still just keep saying the same thing. I took it to an Apple store and the "genius" said that I may just have to get a cheap PC for these type of attachments. Really? $1200 computer and it can't download a certain type of attachment?
I'm real irritated as I would rather not have to buy a new PC laptop. Can anyone help? My macbook is 13 inches, from late 2008, aluminum, running 10.8.2.

Fixed it. I just made sure to set Adobe Reader as my default PDF viewer. It opened it fine. This was an Adobe portfolio file and it is a huge relief that I figured this out as I don't have to go buy some cheap PC just for these files. As a note, the Apple "genius" should be fired (or educated). If I had already bought a PC I'd be very upset to learn that I didn't have to buy one after all.

Adobe PDF won't print non-working time colour in MS Project

Adobe PDF won't print the colour chosen for non-working times in MS Project. I have tried changing the colour, changing the style, moving non-working time in front of tasks and have fiddled with the printer properties, all to no avail. It ignores whatever style I have for non-working time and makes a blank space, although it will take gridline changes . . . . please help!

Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations). I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
Still had the same behavior: Reader will not print. I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either. I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either. In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.) No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9: printing works fine now.
There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments. (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)
More details about my environment:
Windows 7 Professional N (Version 6.1, Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
VMWare virtual machine
Two virtual CPUs (each: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz, 2673 Mhz, 1 core, 1 Logicial Processor)
Hardware Abstraction Layer: 6.1.7601.17514
RAM: 3096 (allocated to virtual machine)
Bridged networking
VMware host:
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1
18 Gig RAM
Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz
VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 build-1031769
(but problem existed on older version of VMWare Workstation 7.x as well)

PDFs won't download in 64 bit mode

When I go to a site and click to download a PDF, all I get is a black screen when Safari is in 64 bit mode. If I switch to 32 bit, the PDF opens up just as it always did and I can then save it or print it. What gives?

Greetings,
Two things stand out here: you're not downloading a PDF file, even though that's what the subject of your post states. You're trying to view a PDF file in Safari, which is completely different.
Adobe Reader (and probably Adobe Acrobat Professional, too) are not 64-bit applications, so they will only run in 32-bit mode. Thus, the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin won't work while you're running in 64-bit mode. You don't need either to view PDF files in Safari; it's perfectly capable of displaying them on it's own, so if you've installed it, you need to get rid of it. Unless you're doing some processor-intensive tasks such as editing or rendering high-quality video, there's no reason to be running in 64-bit mode; you're not gaining any performance benefit, and none of your InputManagers or plugins will work.

Adobe Inspiration Browser Update and Adobe Air won't download/install?

I get repeated error messages, that it won't download/install. I followed the instructions. All I get is "a download error occurred. Try again?" Not much help there!!!!!! Now what?

Hi anon2011
Adobe has stopped supporting IB in PSE11 and is moving towards cloud sharing via Adobe Revel. In view of this I wouldn’t worry too much about installing or updating.
All of the tutorials can now be found on Adobe TV.

To download PDF files you don't need Adobe PDF Pack.

Free trial of Adobe Illustrator won't download

Hello all! I've been trying to download the free trial of Adobe Illustrator, but it won't even start to download. I have downloaded Creative Cloud as well as the updated Adobe Assistant, which is also not working. It should be noted that I am using my older sister's old computer. She had Illustrator on her Mac, but uninstalled every app so that I could have a more room on the computer. I wish she hadn't done that lol, but if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them! Chow!

Hi shells1234,
Please let me know what error you get while attempting to download.
You might want to try downloading from a different browser and check.
Alternatively you can try downloading it from the direct download links available at : Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools
Please make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.
Regards,
Rave

PDFs won't download

Since installing Tiger and hence Safari 2 I can't download PDF files from some sites. Instead I get a box with the message:
"The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
The same PDF files download OK in IE 5.2. Anyone know what's wrong?
Thanks, Dicty
PS PDFs that do download open in the browser window even though I've done the clicked off PDFs in the Quicktime MIME settings.

Hi Toni, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Yes, that indicate a broken download for some reason.
Make sure you have plenty of free space.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Adobe Reader Won't Download On Windows 7

Worked ok on Vista, After
installing Windows 7 (Clean & Install) Adobe Reader won't install on windows 7, goes through the process says 100% installation complete, then nothing. Any ideas.

I havent faced this issue as such on my WIN 7 OS. Worked fine for me.
You might be able to find the cause behind the problem by creating the error log for the installer, using the following commandline switch:
AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe /l
the "\l" switch will create an error log (if any) in the temp directory. (%temp% \ BootStrap.log)
If you can share the log details, it may help in deciphering what exactly is the root cause behind your problem.

Adobe Reader won't download and PDFs won't open

All of a sudden I cannot open PDFs, so I have tried to download Adobe Reader XI and it gets to 78% then fails. It will not give me a reason for the failed installation, and when I try to open PDFs I get a message that says "Acrobat failed to load its core DLL." Now I cannot open PDFs, and I feel like I have tried everything to correct the problem - I tried on chrome, IE, and Firefox, I enabled JavaScript, I don't have virus scanners blocking it, and I am at a loss of what to do. Help!

As for the failing download, try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Adobe flash won't download without my first closing firefox, which defeats the objective of trying to upload it to work with firefox - why?

I can open BBC in Firefox and then when I try to play a programme it won't let me do so without Adobe Flash 11, which I already have in my programmes. However, it doens't agree so I need to download this programme but it won't let me complete the process, saying it can only do so if I close FireFox, which also means I can't completely the process!
Earlier I have uploaded Google Chrome so I can install this programme (hence why I know I have the latest version). I have also tried to do this with Explore but it appears that there is an adware browser there called Snap.do, which arrived via Skype impersonating a new video download. I have done everything possible to clear it but suspect this is causing the system problems but it is still showing up.
However, I did keep getting a message about Shock wave flash earlier and found an instruction on the internet that I should disable this and also Java. I've now reuploaded the latter. But I cannot find the Mozilla support that gave me the option to disable Flash player so as to try enabling it.
PLEASE HELP! My computer is going crazy and I am too.
Much appreciated.
Miranda

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Mac or Windows Adobe Reader? Try here: Acrobat Reader

Re: Adobe Reader Won't Download On Windows 7

I'm also having that problem. Ado9be Reader is not in my Program Files even after trying repeatedly to downoad it even through the installer already mentioned. There is also what may be an unusual twist...When I try to download or open a .pdf file, the file goes to Adobe Photoshop. It shows on a patterened background and so small as to be virtually illegible.

rhettay,
Download Reader from here: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe and double click the installer.
This should install Adobe Reader on your machine. If you face any problem now, post the exact error message.
Otherwise, once you have reader installed on your machine pdf files should get associated with reader as the default application. If not, then right click any pdf file, select Open With..., choose Adobe Reader and set it as the default application from the Open With dialog box.
