Adobe Reader 9.0 Won't Open

Running windows vista home premium 64 bit I was attemping to open a pdf file from a web page that I created approx 1 month ago. I didn't see that and update had been completed, however I was running reader 9.0. I for what ever reason was not able to open any pdf file's off the web site like that I did before. I spent hours looking for the answer. Using microsofts windows cleaner, updating the registery, uninstalling all the adobe products except for my CS4 design products. Still was unable to use reader 9.0. After reading some of the forums I just downloaded reader 8.1.3 and it works fine. I had tried using reader 8.0 on avant microsoft web browsers and neither of them worked. 8.1.3 works fine. Just uninstall everything and download 8.1.3 until adobe can fix the issue. I had also called tech support and they referred me to the site after being on hold for 45 minutes, I could barely understand the guy... Hope this helps this is were I downloaded 8.1.3.

My adobe reader - version 11 won't open a PDF

My adobe reader - version 11 won't open a PDF - I have uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled it - same problem.

What is your operating system?
Does the same thing still happen if you update to 11.0.4?

Adobe Reader 11 (XI) won't open file via command line

Hello,
I have posted this question to probably inapropriate topic earlier today, so I am repeating it again.
I installed newest Adobe Reader XI today and when I tried to open certain pdf file via command line, it reported a syntax error. Now, this syntax worked so far on versions 9 and 10 (I checked today with them and it is working), so my question is - where can I find new syntax, if there is any? Googling didn't help. Or what else could wrong?
In previous versions I was able to open pdf file (on page 5) like this (all was taken from Help file "Open parameters")
"CompletePathToAdobeReader"/A"page=5""CompletePathToPDF",
ie
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/A"page=5""d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
but now - not that it doesn't open specific page, but it doesn't want to open file at all.
edit:
Operating systems running: Windows 7, Windows XP
Thank you.

Yes, it reported correctly becuase there is a syntax error in your command. Try spaces between the /A switch and open parameter. Try this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=5" "d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
Hope this helps.

Adobe reader 9.3 won't open pdf's

Using XP Pro SP3
This just started a few days ago, but everytime I try to open a .pdf or adobe reader itself, I get the following message:
"Adobe Reader 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
If I were to log off the user account and log in as admintrator adobe opens just fine. All users have the read and execute permission. The computer this is installed on is for the print center of my school, so we can't leave it open in administrator the whole time. I've uninstalled and reinstalled reader, but this has not helped. Are there any ideas to address this?

I am having the exact same problem. I have a Toshiba computer, Windows XP Professional 2002, service pack 3.
Everything about Adobe used to work - and after an update, nothing worked anymore, except: I can open a PDF through a window, but if it's attached to an email, or if the PDF is on the desktop, I get the exact same error message.
I've tried:
1. Un-installing and re-installing
2. Going into Control Panel and "fixing" the program in change/remove programs.
If I double click, or try to load Adobe Reader, I get the same message. I find this very frustrating!
Any further information would be much appreciated

Adobe Reader 9.2 Won't Open

After updating to 9.2, I am unable to open Adobe Reader. When I either click on a pdf file or the AR icon, the hour glass will appear for maybe 2 seconds and then...nothing. I uninstalled AR and downloaded 9.2 twice with the same result. I disabled Norton Internet Security to no effect. I am now back to using AR 8.1.4 which works perfectly.

I had Adobe Reader 9.0 installed and working perfectly, I upgraded to version 9.2 and it will not open.
I've tried 4 times now:
1 By updating from within the aplication itself
2 By downloading version 9.2 and letting it uninstall the old version itself before it installs the new one
3 By uninstalling the old version from add/remove programs before installing version 9.2
4 By using Revo Uninstaller to remove the program and all the remaining files, folders and registry entries before installing version 9.2
The outcome is always the same, it just does not open. I have gone back to version 9.0 which works fine.
Event viewer says: The server {string of letters and numbers} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
I've also followed Microsoft's instructions for creating a registry key to specifically deal with this kind of problem but it still does not work.

Adobe Reader 9.1 Won't Open Some Files

Updated to Adobe Reader 9.1 and some web-based files will not open. I receive a blank page with the message "The system cannot find the file specified." Is there a solution or setting for this?

Adobe reader 9.3 won't open pdfs on 10.6 snow leopard

I just got a new mini with snow leopard. Every time I try to open a pdf, it gives me the message that adobe reader is not supported on this type of mac. Now what?
I can open a pdf by dragging it to preview and opening it there, but you shouldn't need the extra step.
Thanks,
Joan

Adobe Reader 9.3 is the most recent version and it is supported by your machine and its OS.
Highlight a PDF file and press command-I. Look for 'Open with:' in the Info window for the selected document and choose Adobe Reader from the list. If Adobe Reader doesn't appear in the list, scroll down to 'Other...' at the bottom of the list and select it. If you like, choose to open all documents of this type with Adobe Reader.

HELP! Adobe Acrobat X Pro won't open

I have Adobe Creative Suite 6 and it comes with Acrobat X Pro. It won't open anymore. If I uninstall and reinstall it, it works fine. But after a while, it stops working again. When trying to open a PDF file or launch just program itself, nothing happens at all. Not errors, no pop-ups. I see the process open then close immediately in the Task Manager. I have installed Adobe Reader just so I can open PDF files, which works. However, I cannot use Acrobat for the more advance features.

Hi chthao,
How frustrating! Since you got Acrobat as part of CS6, let's start with the troubleshooting tips in this document: Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite.
Please let us know how it goes.

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

A Good samaritan answered this for me on another forum
How to update Camera Raw

Adobe Reader freezes all browsers when opening a url to a PDF containing form fields...

There is an issue we are currently experienceing with Adobe Acrobat 9 (updated to the latest version) where ALL BROWSERS (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) on each of two different systems (a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX Leopard and a Sony Vaio Laptop with Windows Vista) where the application will freeze up and crash the browser when we view a .pdf file from a url if the .pdf file iteself contains form fields.
At first I though it may have been specific to Mac OSX and this MacBook we were trying to view the document on, but the same issue is now occuring with a new Sony Vaio laptop (running Windows Vista) as well.
It seems like it is able to open .pdf documents containing form fields when they are stored locally, but when trying to access them via a url, the program will freeze up. Sometimes it will eventually work if you had previously opened a .pdf prior to opening it via the url link and sometimes it doesn't. And it seems to only be related to .pdfs containing fillable form fields (others open fine when accessing them by a url)
Obviously it's become quite irratating and I'm hopeing I can find some insight on this support forum as to what may be causing this issue.
Previous versions of Acrobat (installed on the MacBook) opened this very same .pdf file (url) fine before upgrading to version 9.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Adobe Reader 11 - error message when opening PDF's

I have an iMac OSx. Using Adobe Reader 11. Everytime I open a PDF I get "an internal error has occured" I was trying to uninstall Adobe Reader 11 but the uninstaller in my Applications/Utilities is not there. HELP!!

It's almost identical to what you posted. I think the difference was that I was trying on a machine with complete install of Acrobat which has the font packs and hence there was no hang/crash. Your file doesn't hang on that machine either.
If you look at the fonts panel in your document: File>Properties>Fonts, you'll notice that it uses MS-PGothic font which is a Japanese fonts, and hence the Japanese font pack might fix this.
Also, since you mentioned ACE.dll, the other possibility might be that there are conflicting DLLs on the system, commonly referred to as DLL Hell. Another thing to try would be to search the system for ACE.dll and see which all software install it.

I loaded adobe reader and I can not open a pdf file. It keeps telling me I need adobe acrobat.

I loaded adobe reader and I can not open a pdf file. It keeps telling me I need adobe acrobat.

What is your operating system?
You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
Also, is this a local or online PDF? If online, in what browser?
