Adobe reader app no longer reads files on sd card

The Adobe Reader app that I am using on my samsung galaxy s4 stop reading the PDF files on my SD card after its latest update. I can still see the files using other apps and I can access the files using Adobe Reader as long as I click on the file first. But if I am in the Adobe Reader app and I am under documents it doesn't read any of the files. I can't find the SD card under all PDF files view or under the folder view. It was working and then it stopped. What can I do?

Android 4.4 (KitKat) introduced big changes to SD card support.

You can find many other articles regarding the SD card problem by searching on the internet.
We will be investigating the problem.
To work around the problem in the meantime, could you copy some of the PDF files from your SD card to internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/...) and see if Adobe Reader can read from and write changes to PDF files on your internal storage.  (It should work based on my limited testing. But please verify it.)
You can use any Android File Manager app to move/copy files.  Samsung phones and tablets typically has "My Files" as the built-in File Manager.
Alternatively, you can transfer the PDF files to Acrobat.com (free cloud storage service) and access them from Adobe Reader.
Please let us know if any of the suggested approaches work for you.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Change reader app and choose reader app from iTunes before sync

    Anyone knows how to change reader app for a pdf file?
    It seems if I've chosen one app to open a pdf then my file's stuck there for good
    Also is there any way to choose which app to open a book in my iTunes to be sync'ed to my iPad?
    What happens right now is if I add a file to my iTunes andsync to my iPad then it goes immediately to iBooks, while it can only be readwith other DMR-supported app
    Thanks a ton in advance!

    It's not possible to delete it. It CAN be disabled via restrictions, as can installing apps.
    Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • Adobe reader app takes longer to launch after update, why?

    After updating my adobe reader I have found that when every I try to launch the app it takes a significantly longer time to load then it used to. Is this the problem with the app itself or is it because I have updated my ipad to the newer ios system, ios 7?
    Thanks.

  • My Adobe CC apps no longer work at all (Windows 8) - they just crash

    I successfully used Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro on my laptop (which uses Windows 8) for a full year. Creative Cloud version. While it wasn't ideal, and some day I will switch to a Mac, I was able to get the job done. Two months ago, Premiere Pro stopped working. It crashed every time I opened it. I removed it from my computer and re-downloaded it - no improvement. Photoshop then started to get REALLY slow, I did the same process (removed and redownloaded), and no improvement. Last week, it started crashing every time. So now, I'm paying $50/mo for software I cannot use. At all. I can't even crop a photo. Can someone please help me figure out why this is happening and what I can do to fix it - or even to figure out how to go about diagnosing the problem? Everything else on my laptop is working just fine as far as I can tell. No crashes unless I try to open my Adobe programs.

    Photoshop and Premiere Pro have STRONG ties to the graphics adapter and driver, and Windows Updates have a LONG history of breaking drivers
    What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
    What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
    Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
    For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
    -you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself
    ATI Driver Autodetect http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
    nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    Dual video problems
    Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
    IF YES, read below

  • After downloading the latest upgrade of Adobe, I can no longer open files that are PDF's.  Why do I keep getting error 0.104?

    Since October 23rd, after downloading the recent upgrade for Adobe Reader,  I continually keep getting error code 0.104 whenever I try to open a file that is in PDF format.  No matter if I'm using Internet Explorer or Chrome.  Huge waste of time!  I have restored the Adobe to previous upgrade of September 2014, which was working fine.  I have restarted the computer several times since I restored to prior version with no luck at all.  

    This is the message i keep getting when I try and open my PDF files that are on my desktop. I run a Macbook Pro. I checked for updates on system and adobe all say unto date?
    Adobe Reader could not open 'Employment Application(1).pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

  • Adobe Reader App- Nexus 7

    I have a NEXUS 7 with ADOBE READER installed. Previously when I tapped a PDF icon file a dialog box would open a give me a choice of which APP to use. (Adobe or Think Free). I always chose ADOBE. However, now it seems that the THINK FREE has taken over and is the default PDF viewer. I contacted Google support and they told me to unistall the ADOBE READER and then reinstall it. No that didn't work. If I open the Adobe reader app only the RECENT files show up and none of the other never opened PDF files are listed. How do I open a PDF file in a specific folder. There is no dialog and OPEN file (like on a PC). I moved my fingers all over the place and nothing happens. Now what's worse is that the THINK FREE app can't be unistalled because it doesn't show up in the APPS list. It might be part of the Nexus OS? So the real question is .... How do I open a specific PDF file on the NEXUS 7 without tapping on the file icon which triggers the other app?

    When you try to open the downloaded file, do you see a black screen? There was an issue which we have fixed at our end and the new reader version with the fix would be in the play store soon. If it is some other issue could you please send us the details of the workflow, the actual behavior, adobe reader version and the android version on [email protected]
    For your second query on automatically opening downloaded file on Adobe Reader, the feature is not yet present in Adobe Reader. We however have taken note of that and we would try to come up with the feature soon.
    Thanks.

  • Deleting/removing offline PDF files in the iPad Adobe Reader app

    Whenever I open a file from the Acrobat.com cloud in the iPad's Adobe Reader app, a local copy is saved which I can read even when not connected to the internet. This is intentional by Adobe, and allows me to read PDFs offline, which is great. My question is, if an offline copy of every PDF I open is saved on the iPad, it will soon run out of disk space. Is there any way that I can delete/remove a specific offline PDF in order to free up disk space? I understand that this would mean that I would not be able to read that file offline anymore until I reconnect to the Acrobat.com cloud and reopen the document from the cloud. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you for reproting the issue. You are right Adobe Reader saves a local copy whenever you opens a file from Acrobat.com. But there is a limitaion to the number of files it saves locally. So whenever the number of files opened from Acrobat.com reaches that value, it removes the first file opened from acrobat.com from its local memory and so on. So there is no chance of running out of memory.
    Secondly, if you want to remove the locally saved files then you can just sign out from Acrobat.com and sign in again. In this case it will remove all the files saved locally. Then you have to download them again to view.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Ankit

  • How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

    As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
    What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF  to Word export.
    There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.
    Be well...

  • How to transfer pc file to Samsung using the adobe reader app?

    how to transfer pc file to Samsung using the adobe reader app?

    I solved the problem.  I manually created my own Adobe PDF folder by connecting the phone via usb to my PC, Windows Autoplay gave me the option to 'Open device to view files'. Explorer then displayed all the folders on the phone.  I created an Adobe PDF folder manually and copied the PDFs I wanted to view into that folder.  Adobe Reader then found the files without a problem.  I clearly was missing something quite simple but something I'm sure a lot of people would miss.  Perhaps if the next version of Adobe Reader for Android created this folder automatically, like Kindle and Kobo and other readers do, it might save a lot of people a bit of a headache.

  • : I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I  cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

    : I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I  cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

    Are you saying the iBook G4 you have is running OS X 10.5.6?
    The next file to get for it would be the Combo update 10.5.8 for Leopard.
    And any old archived Flash player for 10.5.8 from Adobe flash site.
    A browser such as TenFourFox, iCab, SeaMonkey-PPC, these are OK
    but you won't be able to go past Leopard 10.5(.8) in a PowerPC Mac.
    All these are free bits, however anything past 10.5.8 Mac OS X
    would require a newer Mac with Intel-based architecture. Macs
    made in 2006+ can see later OS X versions.
    Good luck & happy computing!
