Adobe Reader 8.1.1 couldnot be opened and could not be uninstalled

I downloaded and Installed Adobe Reader 8.1.1, I used it for some times, but after a while it could not be opened again. I tried to uninstall it , same problem,

Hi, I had the same problem and fixed it with the Windows Installer Clean Up Utility. Go to the Microsoft site, search for installer clean up or click this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
That took s few secs to download, but it didn't start up automatically. I had to go to my program files, scroll over to the Windows Installer and click it. You get a list of all the programs on your computer when the Installer box pops up. Highlight the Adobe 8.0 file that won't uninstall and then click remove.
After that, come back to Adobe and install the update. It worked right away after that. Hope it helps!

When I attempt to install Adobe Reader, I get the message, "This patch package could not be opened."

Any idea of what I need to do?

Thanks for your interest in my problem. My operating system is Windows
XP. I had an older version of Adobe Reader installed, but recently, my
computer became unable to view pdf files. So I decided to try to update
my version of Adobe Reader. Somewhere in the process, it was suggested
that I delete previous versions of Adobe Reader prior to installing the
new version, so that's what I did. Now when I try to download and
install the version 9 of Adobe Reader, I get the message that , "The
patch package could not be opened."

Firefox has messed up my computer, does not open and will not be uninstalled. Tell me how to get rid. I've tried numerous options.

Nightmare and I've had enough. Throws up an error message EXCOM won't load. Cannot uninstall firefox in any way. Not from control panel , nor from helper.exe nor any other approach including cc cleaner uninstall. Firefox get your act together! This is no longer a viable browser more like a nasty virus.

Did you get the installer from Mozilla.org? If not, it could be altered.
'''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems]''' {web link}
Save the file. Then;
Using your file browser, open the Programs folder on your computer.
'''Windows:''' C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding '''.old''' to them.
Now run the full installer.

When i open reader two AcroRd32.exe*32 processes open and never close even after exiting the reader.

when i open reader two AcroRd32.exe*32 processes open and do not close after closing the reader. i have seen 10 AcroRd31.exe*32 processes open. do I have an undetectable virus or is the software just poorly written and tested. I am running Windows 7 premium that is fully up to date and the reader is up to date also. i have even deleted reader and reinstalled it.
All 8 Processors activity jumps really high while AcroRd.exe*32 is running with no pdf documents open and as soon as i end the processes the processor activity goes down to near 0 according to the performance tab in task manager. My fan also kicks on because of all the heat from the processor.

open acrord32.exe and go to edit, preferences, internet, and then uncheck "Allow fast web view" and "allow speculative downloading in the background". This will save your processor and keep your system from locking up from all of the acrord32.exe processes running.

Adobe Reader want open - 'Adobe Reader 9.4 has encountered a problem and needs to close'

Hello,
Idesperatelly need a help with this. Adobe Reader simply can't open and I have over and over the same information 'Adobe Reader 9.4 has encountered a problem and needs to close.' Obviously there is error raport created for this problem and the help I have from Microsoft is absolutelly useless. I already uninstall all acrobate and adobe programs and install adobe reader again, but nothing change. Now I stuck with some different program as temporary solution and no solution for this problem. Please if anybody have idea how to solve it... Pls heeelp!!!!

After 3 uninstall's and 3re-installs for AR 9.4 and no solutions forthcoming from the AR tech's/personnel, I have decided to go with another PDF reader that seems to be working fine. Please remove me from your e-mail listing. I tried but not successful as I still receive mail from Adobe about problems not even related to mine. During my search at adobe, I found many users with the same problem but no fix available. You would think that a update correcting these product would be in order. So again, remove me from the AR e-mail list. TU

With OSX10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02 when I try to open a PDF downloaded from the web I get 'There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired. Preview will not open either. Older PDFs OK.

I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02. In the last few days I have been unable to open PDF's downloaded from the web. Reader gives the error message 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired'. Removing Reader and trying to use Preview to open these files give the error 'Preview cannot open this file. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise' (or something like that). Downloading the same files with Reader removed from my Mac Preview opens the files OK.
I was recently prompted to update Adobe software but did not note exactly what the update was nor when it was done.
Reader and Preview will both open PDFs I downloaded a week ago. Reader will also open files downloaded on another Mac running OS X 10.0.0 and copied to my Mac. Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 (command-V), then press return.
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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
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.

Adobe reader 6.0 app won't open because PowerPC apps are no longer supported

I can no longer open .pdf files on my newer imac which is over 3 yrs. old, This issue seemed to have started sometime after updating to icloud & Lion?? on this imac but for some reason, I do not have the same problem on my other imac that is running the same Lion v. 10.7.2 which is over 4 yrs. old. I can see that the older imac is running Adobe Reader 9.4.6 and opens .pdf files.
Here is the error message I get on my newer imac:
adobe reader 6.0 app won't open because PowerPC apps are no longer supported
I don't remember if or when I started having this problem on the newer imac but it use to open .pdf files. Nor can I find any reference to ANY Adobe Reader version other than 6.0 on this computer, Even after several tries and downloading off the Adobe web site using Safari.
I have made several attempts to download off the adobe web site using safari which shows it is downloading the app. but cannot find it anywhere on my computer's HD or Desktop even when using Spotlight to search for it.
In fear of screwing up my new 17" MBP which arrived yesterday I have not attempted to transfer any info/files/data off of my other imacs due to they info dating back to the PowerPC days that transfered during switching to newer mac models.
Thanks for any help in this matter
Bob

I have tried several times to update the Intel Mac verision of adobe but cannot find where it was downloaded to on my computer.   When I do a search on my computer, the only version that is found is the old 6.0 Power PC which is no longer supported.

Adobe reader issue there was an error opening this file. the file cannot be found. How to fix this?

We are opening pdf file in flex air application. but for some user we are facing this issue.

Problem is not being able to open pdf attachments. Get this error message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I searched on the web and in the context of a discussion I located, an Adobe professional posted this solution: HKCU\Software\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\AVGeneral\bValidateBytesBeforeHeader=dword:00000000.
I am accustomed to attempting to fix things myself, but I am not a computer science person so it's always a stretch for me. If I get a little guidance I can usually make necessary corrections. I hope that I can with this issue..
Still hoping that someone will know how to fix the error problem which according to what I read is a software issue having to do with the program not understanding something in the pdf header...

Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Yes, Adobe Reader XI can add annotations.

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option
