  • I have a Mac OS X and I'm trying to download Adobe Reader 11 and it won't open.

    I have a Mac OS X and I'm trying to download Adobe Reader 11 and it won't open.  I get it installed, however, when I click on the icon nothing opens.  Please help!

    Download AppZapper (it's a free trial - but once you see how it works, you'll agree it's worth the $12.95 to buy)
    Install it and open it.
    Drag the Reader.app from your Applications folder onto the AppZapper window
    "Zap" the file and all asociated files.
    Close AppZapper
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    If the AdobePDFviewer.plugin or AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files are present, trash them
    Empty the trash
    Download the Reader Installer again: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Mount the DMG and run the installer.
    Launch Reader 11 from your Applications folder and accept the license agreement
    Reader will run properly from here on out.

  • 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.

  • Mac-with Leopard-Adobe Reader 8.1 will not open previously scanned files

    Have a Intel Mac and use Leopard.
    When using Reader 7.1 previously scanned files (eg. recipes) always opened. Upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.1
    Now, on a number of them, the icon is black, and when I attempt to open them I get the
    following message..for say a scanned recipe..
    "Adobe Reader could not open "Won Ton Soup" because it is either not a supported file or
    because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and
    wasn't correctly decoded)."
    Tried latest version of Adobe Reader..no luck.
    Suggestions ? Thanks.

    >previously scanned files (eg. recipes) always opened.
    Were they actually PDF's?
    If not, it could be that you had Acrobat instead of Reader before.

  • Why does my Adobe Reader (10.1.3) freeze-up when I down load statements from some websites?

    Why does my Adobe Reader (10.1.3) freeze-up when I down load statements from some websites?
    When I down load statements from some websites, the pdf freezes and I get a message that the website is not responding and that windows is checking for a solution for this problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I really like the Adobe Reader, but I need answers on why this is happening and how to fix it. AN AUTOMATIC UPDATE FROM 08/23/11 DOESN’T CUT IT!!

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.05 won't always display the GUI when opening PDF?!

    I have come across some odd behaviour with Adobe Reader 11.0.05. In particular, the following issues seem to have surfaced since upgrading to 11.x from 9.x.
    Opening a PDF from any application, launches an "AcroRd32.exe" process but the GUI is not shown i.e. you don't see a Reader window or PDF. If you try open the PDF again it will launch another instance of that process and still won't show the GUI. Killing all AcroRd32.exe processes via Task Manager and re-opening the PDF will then work.
    Some users are experiencing the following error when opening PDFs via IE and other 3rd party apps.
    We've deployed 11.0.05 across a few thousand 32-bit Windows 7 PCs and it's a little concerning that PDFs won't always open. At this stage it is very random, maybe 1 out of 5 times it won't show the GUI but launch the process. Our only workaround is to advise users to kill all AcroRd32.exe processes and try again.
    Our packaged 11.0.05 was created as follows:
    AIP created from 11.0 msi > AIP patched with 11.0.04 msp (Q) > AIP patched with 11.0.05 msp (OOC). Transform was created using Adobe Customization Wizard 11.
    Oddly, this does not occur using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 (or other versions of 9.x).
    Sounds like 11.x is buggy, anyone else experiencing the same issues??
    Thanks!

    Yes, I am always having problems. Microsoft fixed the problem for me but it has reverted back to a trial I downloaded. I can't access my PDF at all.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.03 won't open

    I am using a Dell laptop with Windows 7. Until today, I could open my PDF files using Adobe Reader 11.0.03. Now the reader window opens then closes when I try to open a file. I have uninstalled AR and reinstalled it. I have gone through the trouble shooting option. Nothing seems to be wrong. Any ideas or suggestions?  --TIA

    C>Programs>Adobe>Reader 11>Reader...
    Look for a file named eula.exe (or just eula)
    Double click it.

  • Adobe Reader,11.0.04, won't open PDF

    I am using an iMac with v10.8.5. Adobe Reader v. 11.0.04 won't open any PDF's. I need help.
    Wayne

    Do you have one of those PDFs or point me to one. I had a few oddball PDFs that I couldn't open with Adobe Reader, but the built in Preview worked as well as vice versa.
    I'd like to know a couple of things:
    can you open the PDFs in Preview?
    did it work with a previous version of Adobe Reader?

  • Adobe reader quit working and won't open

    Hi...  I have been running Adobe Reader 8 on an XP machine for quite a while with no problem.  Suddenly Adobe Reader quit opening.  When I double click on the icon, nothing happens.  When I open a PDF file nothing happens.  It just won't do anything. This is my bosses computer, so I am not sure what he may have accidentally done to create the problem.  I can usually fix whatever mistakes he makes, but I am at a loss on this one.
    I have tried uninstalling adobe reader and reinstalling several times.  I have tried versions 9 and 10 as well, but I have the same result.  The uninstall and reinstall process seems to run fine and I get a message at the end that adobe reader x.x was installed successfully.  Then the program fails to open.  I have also tried running the program through another admin user account, but this does not help either.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks Claudio...  I tried your suggestion.  I ran the fixit program from microsoft.  This ran fine, of course it is focusing on problems with installation and uninstallation.  I tried both ways.  I found a dictionary pack for adobe reader 8 that was still installed.  I removed it and let the fixit program fix any problems.  It did it's thing, so I downloaded the full installer for adobe reader 10 from the link.  I restarted the computer and installed adobe reader from the download after rebotting.  Again, the installation seemed to work fine.  No problems were indicated.  Then when I double click the icon to open the program, I get an hourglass for about 2 seconds then nothing.  It just does not open.  I have tried opening it several ways to no success.
    I really need this to work, but short of wiping the hard drive and reloading everything I am at a loss.  Are there any alternatives out there to adobe reader?  We routinely use several websites that require adobe reader to function properly.
    Thanks again...

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.1 won't open PDF files from IE7 Browser

However this has thrown up a large amount of problems as now any link, for example 'http://somesite.co.uk/somepdf.pdf' will not open a pdf file, just a blank browser page!
