Adobe Reader 9 installed but can't open any pdf. file now

I have been successfully using the Acrobat Adobe 8 with no problem until trying to download the Adobe Reader 9.
I run on Windows XP.  Ever since downloading Adobe Reader 9....I can no longer use Acrobat Adobe at all.  I can not
read or open any Acrobat Adobe files .pdf no matter what application was used in creating them or rather they were created by me or someone else.
I get the error message that Adobe encountered a problem and had to close.  Someone PLEASE help.

Repairing Acrobat after removing Acrobat Reader worked for me in the past. I would try that first before removing 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?

  • After I installed adobe reader 11 I can't open any pdf.  The reader starts but no file appears

    After I installed reader 11 I cant open any pdf files.  Reader opens but no files appear then it shuts down after a few seconds.
    Thanks

    Can you open Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If that doesn't help, please let us know your operating system.

  • I have Adobe reader installed, but can't open pdfs in Firefox and it doesn't show in the Applications tab.

    When I click on a pdf link, the new tab opens but doesn't show the content of the pdf. There is no error message. When I look under Tools, Options, applications, there is no option for handling pdfs. I have the Adobe reader for Firefox installed.

  • I recently purchased the Adobe Reader XI but can't edit a pdf file at all. Please advise on what is going on? I am paying roughly 18 GBP a month and my subscription says it is a Acrobat Pro Subscription on my account online.

    Do you know what may be causing this?

    I actually just figured it out. I had bought the Acrobat pro but never updated my program on my laptop...

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Can't open ANY pdf files. Updated to 10.1.8--still "Access Denied."

    Hello everyone,
    I am currently unable to open any PDF files.
    I recently did a clean re-install of Windows 7 (restored my Toshiba Satellite to out-of-the-box state).
    After that, I restored all of my personal files from an external HD.
    Now, every time I try to open a PDF, Adobe Reader gives me the following message:
    "There was an error opening the file. Access denied."
    The only solution I've been able to find online has been this:
    Edit > Preferences > General> Clear "Enable Protected Mode at Startup"
    Also,
    Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)> Clear "Enable Enhanced Security"
    Neither of these has fixed my problem.
    I also updated to the lastest version--10.1.8--with no success.
    I also re-downloaded and installed PDF Creator and its companion, PDF Architect. Curiously enough, I can't open any PDF in that program either. I'm not sure if there is some global setting I'm missing or something.
    Access to these files is critical to my work, so any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Lauren

    I updated from within the Adobe Reader X program (Help > Check for Updates) and it tells me: No updates available. Installed: Adober Reader X (10.1.8) MUI
    Is 11.0.5 something I would have to access another way?
    Also, I'm still not sure if that would fix my problem. It seems most people with the "Access Denied" error had it fixed with the very first 10.1 update, and I have 10.1.8, so I'm not sure what's causing mine.

  • I can't open any pdf files!!!!! help help!

    I have adobe 9.2 version. Every time I try to open an pdf file my internet shuts down and I get the message " Adobe 9.2 stop working". I am not able to open any pdf files and it is driving me crazy.  Is there anyone who could help me. I have windows vista. I use this to operate my business.

    From where are you trying to open these files - from an Internet link, or from a document stored on your local disk?
    Also, what is the exact message you're getting?  I have never heard of a message "Adobe 9.2 stop working"...

  • Preview can't open any pdf file

    PDF documents are greyed out in the open menu.
    Setting Preview as the "open this document with..." app in the get info window gives the message that "it's not known if this application can open Adobe PDF files"
    At the same time, Safari started crashing on being asked to open a PDF file.
    I've reinstalled Safari, grabbed Preview from a Time Machine backup from when it worked, reinstalled the developer tools in case they wrote over webkit, trashed all preferences and rebooted. No joy.
    I looked at the document types list in Preview's info.plist and the entry for com.adobe.pdf is in there. I've opened an eps file in Preview and saved it as a pdf; I can then open that pdf in Acrobat, but not in Preview (even though it appears in the "recent documents" list.)
    What am I missing?

    Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If not, report back. If so, download and install the 10.6.3 COMBO update. If that doesn't fix the problem, reinstall SL, and if fixed, run Software Update until you're back to 10.6.3. If still no go, run this one-line Terminal command and restart:
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

  • I can't open any PDF files?

    I can't open PDF files anymore what happened?

    Not sure, but I read some of these posts and may not be exctly what I am experiencing.
    I using a mac with all the lastest updates.
    I have version 11.0.03 of Adobe Reader
    When I use Safari to view a .PDF file, I can view it with no problems.
    The problem comes after I SAVE that file.  So when I'm viewing a site such as http://www.lightroomqueen.com/downloads/shortcuts/lightroom_shortcuts_40_mac.pdf and then in Safari I go... FILE>SAVE AS...and select that default file name with it's .pdf extension it does save to that detination.  But...when I try to open that .pdf file I receive this messege:
    "There was an error opening this document. The root object is missing or invalid."
    How do I correct this issue please?

  • Cannot download Adobe Reader. Can't open any pdf files

    Hi. I am using google chrome as my browser. i tried to download adobe reader. it downloads the .exe file. i try to run it and i save it. (after saying yes to security). But then it doesn't do anything and I can't download any Adobe products. My flash driver was also removed. I tried to install McAfee and it started doing this. Is there a conflict between McAfee and the Adobe reader?

    Download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    What is "flash driver"?

  • Just loaded Adobe standard 11 but I can't open any pdf files

  • Can't open any PDF file with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    I have tried to open multiple Acrobat files but none will open. I get a FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server."  I've created documents in word and publisher and am able to convert to pdf format but after the pdf file has been created I cannot open to view and I get the error message. Please help! Thank you!

    No I am thinking that the problem is with Acrobat XI Pro. Because as previously noted I can create a Word document and save as a PDF, the PDF document will be created by Acrobat XI Pro but will not open with Acrobat XI Pro, which normally happens automatically upon creating the PDF file from say Word, Exel, Publisher, etc. When I try to open with Acrobat XI Pro it give me the FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server". Since I could not open any of my PDF documents with Acrobta XI Pro, because I had Acrobat XI Pro as my default PDF creater and reader, I installed Adobe Reader, hoping that it would allow me to view the PDF documents that I had just created with Acrobat XI Pro and it did. The problem is that I cannot open Acrobat XI Pro to creat or edit or add PDF restrictions on  a PDF document straight from Acrobat XI Pro, but I can create a, say Word document, and save as a PDF file. Before installing Adobe Reader I could not open, see or edit the just created PDF file created through Word it is just now after installing Acrobat Reader.
    Also worth noting.
    I have been told that this same problem happened sometime ago with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Vesion 10) and that the problem was fixed by editing something within the registry. Does anyone know anything about that? Thanks!
