Adobe Reader 9.2 won't delete

I have the same problem as an
earlier forum where I can't load or
unload AR 9.2 for it is missing
AdbeRdr920_en_us.msi file.
In a reply they mentioned to use
Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
Where do you find this tool?

The exact name is Windows Installer Cleanup Utility; if you google, as Michael suggests, it will come back as the 1st result.

Adobe Reader 11.0 won't install through firefox - click save and then nothing else happens

Adobe Reader 11.0 won't install through firefox - I click save file when requested it switches to Step 2 of 3 but nothing is there and I have waited for a very long time for it to load. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Pat,
After your last email I decided to continue to trouble shoot the problem and finally found the answer from another user. Oddly enough when using Firefox it will default to a location on your computer to save downloads. If it encounters a problem it doesn't identify it, the program just "loops" back to the start of the download sequence. Once I changed the folder that the downloads are sent to the original way of upgrading occurred without fault.
I will go back into the discussion group and credit you with the answer because I really appreciate your assistance.
Thank you, Jim

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 plugin(Acrobat) won't install and Update in FF4

if I try to open FF4 and go to a pdf file Adobe Reader 10 will open then freeze FF4... I then went to Plugin check.. says Adobe Acrobat needs an Update.. I d/l it 3x.. still comes up as needing an upadate after restarting FF4... it just won't take it as a plugin..
I can't open pdf files anymore.. either FF4 is the culprit --I d/l it last month.. or the Adobe 10 update is...
any help appreciated..

Thank you for the video.
The video shows the App Store app that is trying to download and install Adobe Reader for iOS. Adobe Reader for iOS is not even launched at the point. Once we (the Adobe Reader Mobile team) upload a new version of Adobe Reader to the App Store, Apple takes care of the installation & updates of the app (and all other iOS apps) for users.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.6.3 on my iPad running iOS 8.1 but could not reproduce the problem. I suspect that your iPad is in inconsistent state with regard to app updates.
Here are a couple of things that you could try.
Go to the iOS Settings > General > Usage > Managed Storage.
If you see Adobe Reader, tap to go to the next screen. This is to ensure that Adobe Reader is completely uninstalled from your iPad. If you do not see Adobe Reader in the list, skip the rest of the steps.
Tap Delete App to uninstall it.
Go back to the App Store to download and install Adobe Reader again.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Since this is an Apple App Store problem, you would have a better chance of getting answers by asking the question in the Apple support forum.

Adobe Reader 9.4 won't allow saving-copying-printing of data entered into form fields.

Hello, all. I own a fully automated Continuing Education website with a national customer base. The release of Adobe Reader 9.4 has brought a major problem for us which we haven't been able to overcome, and it's a critical issue which will destroy our business if the problem continues.
The problem: Our professionally licensed website users earn online, instantly downloadable Continuing Education certificates in PDF file format, which are auto-generated by our software program when the user has successfully completed a course and its quiz.
Each certificate is a template created by Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 which contains the boilerplate course goals, credit hours earned for the course, plus all of our educational approval numbers needed to conduct business in each state. THE PROBLEM HERE is that these generated certificates ALSO have form fields which are auto-completed by our system when the user successfully completes his or her course - i.e., the user's name, his license number, and the date and hour and minute of completion. Until some of our customers began to use Adobe Reader 9.4 on their PC this past week, the certificate generation process has performed flawlessly - for over 3 years now, for over a thousand customers - the only exception being the occasional MAC user who needs to download the correct version of Adobe Reader, and to use the correct browser.
Beginning last week, site users who have downloaded 9.4 can no longer SAVE their Continuing Education certificates to their computer with their name, license and date and time of completion showing on the certificate.   And they can't even print the certificate correctly - their name, license, and date of completion appear as blank lines. They can't download or email the certificate with the critical form field data showing on the document. This is a devastating situation for our business and for the users - who certainly won't return, and are demanding refunds.
In fact, I (who installed 9.4 last week) discovered that I can't even download and save an intact copy of a customer's certificate from my own website, OR copy and paste information from a client's generated certificate in order to manually create a certificate for him or her. The on-screen message tells me that I am not allowed to do this with this document .... despite the fact that I was the creator of the document. Needless to say, when I un-installed 9.4, I had none of these problems.
Customers wouldn't have problems either if they uninstalled 9.4 - but you can't tell customers who call in to complain, to uninstall their Adobe Reader program and find something else. They also have to use Adobe Reader to view over half of the courses we offer, and they need to be able to work with them effectively with no problems.
In the past, because of occasional Adobe Reader problems of a different sort, we could tell customers to use Foxit or Nitro PDF if they had Adobe issues. But that was back in the day when there was no competition in running an online CE website. Now there is plenty of competition, and customers will just go elsewhere before they will try to reconfigure their computer just to stay with our site.
I will bet that hundreds (thousands?) of other online businesses who work with system-generated form fields in PDF documents have been similarly affected.
Is there a solution here? Surely this was an UNINTENDED result of Adobe's upgrade to 9.4.   Is there something that we can do at our end to eliminate these issues? There are NO security protections or limitations imposed on these certificate documents. And we CANNOT eliminate the form fields that are filled internally when the customer passes t the course. Date and time of completion and all the rest are required by all of the States which license us. Many thanks!

That was it!
Thanks

Adobe Reader 10.1 won't work in OS 10.5.8

Now that I've installed Adobe Reader 10.1 I'm unable to read or download pdfs in Safari. The screen simply turns grey. I've tried discarding it and reinstalling it numerous times, but no improvement. I've tried switching to Preview as my primary pdf reader, but some items say that Adobe Reader is required. I've tried following the instructions on Adobe's help page, which say to go to the Help menu within Adobe Reader and select Repair Adobe Reader Installation, but that item does not appear on the menu. Can anyone help?

Hi Robin,
Thanks for detailed replies to my questions. I think we are quite near to the solution here
Do you have Acrobat installed. Any previous version? Or do you have any other version of Adobe Reader. For this check your applications folder. Reader X is present as /Applications/Adobe Reader.app whereas previous versions like 9, 8 or 7 are present in respective folders in /Applications like /Applications/Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Reader.app. If any such versions are present (for Reader only), you can trash them. Note: Do Not trash Acrobat.
Next go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and delete AdobePDFViewer.plugin file present there.
Since ftp is not working for you, go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and in Step 1 select OS as Mac OS Intel 10.5.8 - 10.6.7. In Step 2 select Language as English and in Step 3 select Reader X (10.1) English for Mac Intel. Now click download and save "AdbeRdr1010_en_US.dmg" to your hard disk.
Double click this downloaded file to mount it as disk image on desktop. Open this disk and Run Adobe Reader X Installer.pkg. This will install Reader X in /Applications/Adobe Reader.app
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and now again check version of AdobePDFViewer.plugin. This should be 10.1 now, that is this plugin will now be owned by Reader X
Now try opening pdf files in Reader application and Safari. Hope it works.
Thanks,
Karan

Adobe Reader LE 1.5 and Deleting Recent Documents

On my E71, I am having difficulty deleting PDFs from the Reader's recent document list. There is no option to remove them, and the files don't seem to be stored anywhere in the filesystem that I can get to via Bluetooth or the File Manager.
Any ideas? I hate to have my memory occupied by documents that I'll never need again.
Thanks, all!

This is the rare annoying thing i found on N73 too the recent documents list in Adobe reader and real player never gets cleared up initially i found it to happen when i viewd a pdf file directly from the email instead of downloading it to my mobile later that was not the case it remained permanently there for all the files irrespective of viewing it online or storing it to the device. Only way to clear that up is to do a format using *#7370# AFAIK(which will erase all ur phone data) it is a silly thing to do for filename staying in the recent viewed list so i live with it
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

ADOBE reader for ipad won't install

I had adobe reader on my ipad for at least a year. Have a subscription to the pdf to word doc conversion. Adobe pushed an update on Oct 9. I tried to install it a lot of times, but it always hanged. So today I have figured I will just delete the app and install it again. Well, that hasn't solved it either. The install also hangs. Is this a bug? I have an ipad 4, rocking iOS 8.1.

Thank you for the video.

Problem on adobe reader X, it won't start

Hallo guys.
I've a problem on 3 pc in my company.
When you double-click on the adobe reader X icon, the program won't start, no error message, no events in windows, absolutely nothing at all.
The systems affected are windows 7 64bit, the user is a local administrator.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Please let me know the following:
1. The exact version of Adobe Reade on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader.
2. Do you get a process in the task manager by the name of AcroRd32.exe when you double click on a PDF on these machines?
3. Are you able to launch Adobe Reader as a standalone application without trying to view any PDFs?
Thanks

Adobe Reader corrupted. Won't update

I thought there was something wrong when I was downloading updates for the Adobe Reader 10 series when I already had Adobe 11 series. But the updates came right from Adobe, or at least they made themselves look like it. And the updates kep coming for the Adobe Reader 11.0.03 but will not download because they say there is a problem. So I am going to fix it once and for all by getting rid of Adobe Reader and reloading it from the Adobe page.
being the same place I was getting the bogus updates.
Can anyone tell me how to uninstall Adobe Reader altogether?

Okay. Use Terminal to forcibly remove it. Type the following command, with a space included, but DO NOT press enter yet.
sudo rm -rf
Drag the application into the terminal window to complete the path. Again, do not press enter before you drag the Application into Terminal.
It will look something like:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Adobe\ Reader.App

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.
Message was edited by: v604

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 9.0 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.

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.
