"Didn't work" is not very elightening. You mean, you double clicked on the link I gave and nothing happened, or you received an error message? Or you were taken to the relevat Microsoft Support page but nothing happened when you tried to run the fix? Or something else?
It is difficult to help you if you don't provide enough information.

  • Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    When reading PDF attachments, I get the following:  Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried to remove Adobe Reader via Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs but that won't work.  I get this:  This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. I don't know how to do what is being asked.  I have tried to download Adobe Reader again but get this when I do:  Note:  this application already installed.
    I have Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) with an update installed on 2/19/2011.  I have Windows XP SP3.
    Anyone who can help me get Adobe Reader working correctly again or uninstalling it so I can reinstall.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the input.  Did you remove Adobe Reader 10 first before you downloaded the older version?  If you removed it, how did you do that?  The add/remove programs in control panel won't let me remove it -- it says a patch package can't be opened.

  • Adobe reader won't 'uninstall'

    I can't print pdfs or download pdfs on the web since downloading adobe reader 9.  The previous version (reader 8) failed to uninstall and I am unable to use 'remove programme' to remove either version of reader.   The error message reads,  patch cannot be found.
    Can anyone offer a solution?  I believe I need to uninstall all the adobe files and reinstall afresh but can't do it with add/remove programmes.

    Thank you Claudio,
    Your suggestion worked perfectly. I am very grateful.

  • Adobe Reader XI protected mode problem

    I downloaded Reader XI and went to open a pdf that previously worked with Reader.  But Adobe Reader XI won't open (says problem with "protected mode").  I can't open any pdf's either on my computer or on the internet at trusted sights.  Troubleshooting takes me to a page on fixes for Reader X. Not helpful!  Any ideas?  (I uninstalled and reinstalled and still won't work.)

    CoUnyot,
    Thanks for your post ...
    Please Disable protected Mode .. Please find the below steps ":
    Disable Protected Mode by going to Edit > Preferences > General and deselecting Enable Protected Mode at startup. 
    Restart Reader.

  • Adobe Reader X - Firefox integration Problem

    Dear All,
    My first post here.
    I am having problem's with the Adobe Reader X integration with Firefox (v3.6.12). I have been using Adobe Reader always and it's been fine.
    But I installed the new Adobe Reader X, and it integrates with firefox well, PDF document's open well within the browser.. BUT, I cannot save the PDF document from within the pdf.. I cannot click anywhere on the toolbar.. I cannot click on the pop up toolbar as well (the black one).. When i press F8, I can restore the toolbar or make it disappear.. but that's all I can do..
    If I try to save the document from firefox file menu, it works.. but not from within the pdf...
    This problem is also seen in IE, as well.
    I have tried repairing the install and also uninstall / reinstall adobe reader X. But nothing worked..
    For more info., I have been discussing this issue here > http://forum.notebookreview.com/windows-os-software/534412-adobe-reader-x-available-3.html
    I am looking forward to resolving this soon, because I use / read / work with hundreds and thousands of PDF, and they are extremely essential for my research work.. as some might know, all research articles are in PDF format these days..
    Thanks in advance and best wishes,
    Cheers, fondue

    My replies are in Bold.
    Thank you for your response and message.
    1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific  kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing  restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
    This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
    2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the  browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF  hosted on the internet?
    It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
    3.  Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you  could find it at C:\Program Files\Common  Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties  -> Details
    If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
    I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
    As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
    I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
    Anyway.... Cheers.

  • Adobe Acrobat 6 and Adobe Reader 9 Web browser problem

    Good Day,
    I have a user that has Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 installed on the same computer. Acrobat 6 is used to edit (via open with -> Adobe Acrobat) while for normal reading, they use Adobe Reader 9 (since some files that were created in Acrobat 9 cannot be opened with Acrobat 6).
    From the desktop, everything works as it should. However, the problem is that when the user is trying to open a document on the web (from Internet Explorer 7) then instead of using Reader 9, it uses Acrobat 6 (and because is unable to open Acrobat 9 files) it gives an error saying that you need to have Adobe Reader 8 or 9 installed.
    So far I have tried the following:
    1) Reparing Reader 9
    2) Uninstalling Acrobat 6 running a repair on Reader 9 (which fixes the problem, until I reinstall Acrobat 6 again. I make sure I do not put a check mark on Read files on Internet Explorer)
    3) Went to Preferences on Acrobat 6 and unchecked Display PDF in browser.
    4) Checked on Manage Add-ins and tried disable any combination of Adobe PDF addin to make it work only with 9.
    Note: Reader version is the latest 9.4.1
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Max

    Ok, so after I wrote the last post, I read through the related posts, and found the answer to
    what i was looking for.
    I guess it is unofficial, but I tested it today and works great:
    Registry that needs to be changed is:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
    Change the path (Acrobat 6) from "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat6\Acrobat.exe"
    to the path of Reader 9 which would be something like "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
    That fixed the problem.
    Thanks

  • Reader 9.0 Uninstall Problem

    I have a new PC running Vista 64 bit. When I tried to view a pdf doc in a web page I get a warning message that I need Adobe Reader 8 or 9. The PC has 9 already installed which opens just fine by itself. So to fix the problem I was going to uninstall/reinstall Adobe Reader 9 but when I go to the uninsall utility in Windows all I get is the "prparing to uninstall message" and nothing happens.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Doug,
    If you know about the "event viewer" utility for Windows it might be able to shed more light on why this error is happening.
    You mentioned you are trying to open the pdf in a web browser. Since you are using a 64 bit Operating system and 64 bit adobe application did you verify that you are using a 64 bit web browser and not 32 bit web browser?

  • Cannot open .pdfs via Outlook or Adobe Reader, can't open Adobe Reader, can't uninstall it!

    We have a new office desktop that will not open .pdfs or open Adobe Reader.  The version on the computer is 9.5.2.  When I try to install updates or install Adobe XI, the installation process stops before completion because it says Adobe 9.5 is currently being open.  But we can't open Adobe 9.5, and task manager does not even show the program as being open. 
    I have tried uninstalling the program, but have been unable for the same reason.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

    You may need to run the cleaner tool multiple times.
    What do you mean "is not removed"; do you get any error messages?
    What do you mean "reinstalling is not possible"; do you get any error messages?

  • Adobe Reader 9 Linux GUI problems

    Hi!
    I've been using Linux Mint 8 since October 2009. Before that I was using Debian Lenny. I'm trying to use Adobe Reader 9.3 for working with multiple pdf documents. I've run into some problems that didn't seem to exist when I was using it on Lenny (although it was also using Adobe Reader 9.1, so I'm not sure where the problem lies). Here are the problems...
    If I have a large number of pdf's open in tabs, I can view one, but to print, I have to click once somewhere in the toolbar before the print button works - essentially I have to click twice to activate the print button. After that, I cannot activate another tab until I first click somewhere on the document window. Between all these clicks, the mouse pointer is switching back and forth between the nice and smooth Linux mouse pointer, and the ugly and pixelly pointer that Reader uses for some reason. Finally, if I have more tabs open than fit in the width of the window, clicking on the left or right arrows that scroll the tabs scrolls all the way to the very last or very first tab. It will not just move over by one tab. If there is a really, really long list of tabs, I cannot get to the ones in the middle.
    Anyone have a solution for this? I cannot use Evince or other Linux-based pdf viewers due to the startling lack of tab support (really should be a common thing by now, in my opinion). I just don't want to have to juggle tons of windows.
    Thanks!

    I am not fully familiar with Mint, but it is based on Ubuntu ..
    Update to the latest version of Adobe Reader, and re-check these issues.
    TO UPDATE
    Check in Synaptic that the 'partner' software repository is enabled.
    At terminal type:
    (if required) update your system
    ~:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  <Enter>
    install latest Acrobat Reader (for Ubuntu Linux), AND font packs
    ~:   sudo apt-get install acroread acroread-fonts  <Enter>
    Then look for Adobe Reader in the applications menu (top left of screen).

  • Sporadic Adobe Reader 9 GPO install problems

    Hello everyone,
    I've been working on this issue for quite a while now and haven't been able to come up with any solutions.  I've been pushing out Adobe Reader 9.1 to a couple hundred workstations in our company through a group policy.  We were previously at version 8.  It seems like the installtion works fine on all of the clients, but they start having strange issues at random times.  Reader may work fine for a couple days or weeks and then all of a sudden the users get a message about Intenet Explorer not allowing the PDF to open through the browser because of security restrictions.  I initially thought this was a problem with file associations, but then I noticed that if the user tries to open Adobe Reader from the start menu, it attempts to reinstall the application.  I know this is not a IE security problem, because we were previously working find on version 8.
    I found that downloading and reinstalling the 9.1 setup from Adobe's website seemed to fix the problems.  PDF's opened correctly from the browser after the reinstall.  At first this seemed to only be happening to a couple users here and there, but over time the amount of affected users has increased drastically.
    In the last couple days, I've realized that even the reinstall doesn't seem to be fixing the issue.  I've had one user in particular that I've reinstalled three times in the last week.  After the reinstall everything is fine, but by the next day Adobe Reader isn't working any more.
    I've checked the event logs and can't find anything that looks like it would help.  I really need to figure this out.  I had to stop my roll out halfway though because of the issues we were having and I need to upgrade to version 9.1 to support a new application that my company wants to use.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    There is no full installer for 9.5.5; you can get the installer and separate updates

  • Adobe Reader XI Self Uninstall

    I have a network computer with GPO pushed Adobe Reader. The computer is Windows 7 x64. GPO for some reason does not push to this machine so I went and downloaded and installed Reader manually. I have dealt with Reader for 8 years with no issues, I started using GPO push 4 years ago with no issues. This computer is a month old and keeps uninstalling Reader with no prompt. Likely this happens at night while the machine is logged off but powered on. I have 4 other machines this has happened on, each of differing ages.
    Again, I did nothing to initiate an uninstall nor does the GPO reinstall anything.

    Enable full verbose MSI logging and check MSI log file next time it happens - in the very beginnig of the log there might be information which process has launched uninstallation.
    You will need to search for the log in 2 possible locations-
    User Temp folder
    or
    C:\Windows\Temp folder in case the process is launch in the SYSTEM account

  • Adobe Reader for IPad Download Problem

    I downloaded several files last evening but this morning I found them only in the 'recent' file and not in documents.
    How can I move the files from recent to documents?
    (I have a brand new iPad and the latest update of Adobe Reader for iPad.)
    The only options on the 'open' menu are for  iBooks, which is so unreliable that I downloaded Adobe Reader in the first place. (The files disappear in the middle of the download.)
    I tried emailing to myself to then save the PDF from email, but the docs appear as text and pics within the email and are no longer an attached .pdf.
    Any ideas?

    I can't explain it, but whenever I have a problem with an iOS app, I close out and re-open.
    You can also force quit an app (remove it from memory): Click the Home button to return to the Home screen. Double-click the Home button to view the recent app list at the bottom. Click and hold over the Adobe Reader icon to show the red "delete" icon. Click Adobe Reader again and it will disappear from memory.
    Click the Home button and relaunch. That opens Reader up anew, and refreshes it.
