Adobe Reader 9 after download problem.

I have downloaded reader 9 numerous times but each time I am unable to open it or any of my other progames, on cliking to open I get the following message: "This file does not have a programe associated with it. For performing this action create an association in the set associations control panel" I am running windows Ultimate.
I have never had any problem in the past with previous versions I did try version 8 but this was the same, can anyone help, I have a very basic knowledge. Ken

I have had the same problem with Acrobat 9 Pro (and Acrobat Reader, and trying to print PDF's within IE).  In my case it seems to be related to my recent Internet Explorer 9 install.  I had disabled the Adobe IE plugins (as well as others) for better performance, as Microsoft suggests.  When I re-endabled the plugins in IE9, Adobe Acrobat 9 started printing again -- at least once every 3 tries; sometimes it would work with Print button, others with File > Print menu, and still others with right click > Print.
In any case, I fully blame Adobe.  Having a dependency in your core app on something that sits inside another app as an add-on...?  Inexcusable, and very poor software design.  So add poor design to the poor technical support we're seeing on this issue.  I hate to be this harsh, but after reading the forums about the same error, spanning months and months with no resolution, I have no other response for Adobe's lack of dealing with this issue properly.
I even re-installed Acrobat 9 Pro, with no success in fixing the problem.  Buggy.

  • 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.

  • Getting "adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close

    On Windows XP service pack 3. Adobe Reader X
    Get "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close." . I have uninstalled adibe and reinstalled it and problem came back within 2 weeks after working for a short time.

    Try the following:
    Uninstall Adobe Reader X
    Reboot your computer
    Delete directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0
    Download the EXE or the MSI installer from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/ and execute e.g. either of the following files:
    AdbeRdr1010_en_US.exe
    AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi
    Good luck!

  • 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.

  • Keep getting message Adobe Reader failed to download core DLL

    I have Adobe Reader and I use Widows 7.  I had used the Adobe Reader with no problems, however, just recently, when I tried to open the program, I got the message "because of compatibility problems, Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode", so I clicked the option to allow it to open without protected mode, and I keep getting the message "Adobe Reader failed to download its core DLL".  How can I fix this?  Thanks

  • Adobe Reader Freezes after reinstallation

    I was having trouble with Adobe Reader freezing while I was using it on an older Windows XP computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe reader. After reinstallation, the reader could not open existing pdf documents and froze quickly. I tried unstalling Adobe Reader and installing an earlier version. The earlier version had the same symptons.
    Any suggestions?

    HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

    Hi pwillener,
    Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
    . This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
    My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.
