Adobe Reader 10.1.2 fails to open any PDFs

Like so many others, I accepted the upgrade to Adobe Reader 10 and now I cannot open PDFs on the internet.
The error message I receive is:
"There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)"
This message appears with no instance of Acrobat or Reader running. It appears with every repeated attempt.
I would like to see Adobe support answer at least one of the questions posted on this subject.

Hi,
     I also have Reader 10.1.2 installed on my machine and I also cannot open a link in the PDF, that will eventually call an exe file. I don't think that there would be different behaviour on your machine. So, I think, now this is the expected behaviour Reader 10.1.2 onwards.

  • After up grading to Adobe Reader XI why can't I open any PDF files?

    I am running windows vista and had been using Adobe Reader 8 - when I upgraded,  can not open any PDF files. When I attempt to open a PDF file, I receive the following messages:
    Update available
    Please take a few seconds to update Adobe AIR and get the very latest features. Acrobat.com cannot continue until you update Adobe AIR.
    after attemptng to down load the "update" I receive the following message.
    Sorry, an error has occurred
    This application requires an update to Adobe AIR but downloading that update was not successful.
    I have uninttalled all of my Adobe freeware & reinstalled statring with "adobe AIR" then "adobe Reader" and then attempted to opne a PDF file only to see the same  message

    Thank you Pat,
    I have already been there done that. I first  Un-installed all of my adobe freeware (reader, flash player, air. etc) then started reinstalling. First I reinstalled reader (latest version Reader X), same error messages. added AIR (latest version not listed - Last updated April 1st, 2012 -
    maybe that should tell me something), same error messages. I un-installed these two and reinstalled AdobeFlash Player,Adobe Shockwave Player,&Adobe Media Player, verifying that each worked after each reinstall of the next program everything was OK until I put Reader back on (NOTE: I dug all the way back to version 8 & still had the problem). for some unknown reason I finally right clicked on a PDF file on my desk top & was greeted with a the drop menu & he option of "open with" for fun I clicked on the "open with" & found that I had two options the first was a white Icon with the Stylized A and labeled Acrobat.com the second was the normal red Icon we all know & live
    when I reset the default to the normal red Icon everything began to work just as I have always had adobe reader work. Now I have no clue how or when I picked up the "Acrobat.com" program even worse it does not show up under programs on the control panel. When I have a few moments this evening, I will run a search for "Acrobat.com" & hopefully be able to remove it from my computer.
    Bottom line I don't know how I got the program which seems to have caused the breakdown of adobe reader but by resetting the default program to open PDF files it is now working as it should
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Sincerely,

  • Adobe Reader 9 installed but can't open any pdf. file now

    I have been successfully using the Acrobat Adobe 8 with no problem until trying to download the Adobe Reader 9.
    I run on Windows XP.  Ever since downloading Adobe Reader 9....I can no longer use Acrobat Adobe at all.  I can not
    read or open any Acrobat Adobe files .pdf no matter what application was used in creating them or rather they were created by me or someone else.
    I get the error message that Adobe encountered a problem and had to close.  Someone PLEASE help.

    Repairing Acrobat after removing Acrobat Reader worked for me in the past. I would try that first before removing Acrobat.

  • [SOLVED] Evince failed to open any PDF documents after upgrade

    I have a x86 version Archlinux on a 32-bit intel platform. After recent upgrade, the Evince package was updated to 2.32.0-3, which fails to open any PDF documents. It gives a notification says "Unable to open document: File type PDF document (application/pdf) is not supported".
    No other package was installed/removed. It just stop working after the upgrade.
    Looking forward for any suggestions/solutions. Thanks in advance~~

    Thank you so much.
    The problem is solved as soon as I replaced the modified freetype2 from AUR with the official package. There seems to be something incompatible with the upgraded system.

  • Adobe Reader XI launches, but crashes upon opening any file

    Environment:
    Acer Aspire 5750Z
    Windows 7 Home Premium; Service Pack 1
    Intel Pentium CPU B940 @ 2.0GHz
    4.0 GB RAM
    64-bit OS
    I can Launch Adobe Reader XI. It displays its home screen.
    However, upon opening any PDF file, the program crashes with the following messages:
    "Adobe Reader has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem."
    followed by:
    "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. [close program]."
    This occurred with prior version as well.
    I uninstalled Reader.
    I freshly installed the new version.
    The problem remained.

    Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

    What kind of advertisement?  In Adobe Reader?  Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
    Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa

  • I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus.  Now I cannot open any .pdf files from the internet.

    I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus and now I cannot open any Adobe .pdf files from the internet.  Fix?

    Go to F_Secure's Flashback Removal Tool web page, download their Flashback trojan detection/removal tool, and follow the instructions you find there.
    Also install the latest java update which also tries to remove these trojans.
    Java for OS X Lion 2012-003
    And only download the adobe flash plugin from the adobe site.
    Update:
    Just because you cannot download pdf may not be an indication of the trojan.  There's been a number of reports about problems like that with pdf's.  Look at the More Like This section on the right side of this page.

  • I downloaded Adobe Reader but when I try to open a pdf document, I'm directed to download Adobe Reader, which I did over and over again. What should I do now?

    I'm having difficulty viewing pdf documents because I'm required to download Adobe Reader.  I did download that application, but the same message recurs repeatedly.  What shall I do to resolve the problem?

    You don't provide any details, but from the sound of it you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that does not use the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • I downloaded Adobe Reader now I am unable to open certain pdf files

    I downloaded Adobe Reader and now I am unable to open the majority of the pdf. files from the internet.  Has this happened to anyone else and if so how did you resolve the issue?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again.

    When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
    1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
    2. cannot view a PDF file;
    3. or what?
    Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).

  • Adobe Reader 8 will not open any pdf files.

    I have a Mac OS X G5. I have Adobe Reader 8 installed. I cannot open any pdf files. It has never worked since installing it. I tried going to File> Open with> Adobe Reader> I get an error that says: the file could not be opened because the file is either not supported or it has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly coded). This error occurs no matter where I get the file; email or web page.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    I did get around this problem by trashing Reader 8 and confirming that I still had Reader 7.05 installed
    This tip in the MacWorld forum worked for me:
