Adobe Reader attempts to open, then recieves an error message of AppName:acrord32.exe

I have been having trouble using Adobe Reader 8.1.1, every time I go to open it I receive the following message:
Error Signature
AppName:acrord32.exe AppVer:8.1.0.137 ModName:msver71.dll
ModVer:7.10.3052.4 Offset:000010428
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I am running windows xp with security packet 2.
I have tried to un-install the program. Manually deleted the files by going to the programs folder and removing everything. I have done a complete search of all files and documents regarding to Adobe and deleted them. Then attempted to re-install the software. Each time I do so I receive the same error message. Any thought on how to resolve this issue?

I had the same problem.
I installed the foxit and work just fine.
Another way uninstall the adobe 8.1.2 and install an older version like 7.0.9, Here is how:
Go to Download Adobe Reader click on "Different language or operating system" Make choices for your system and click "Continue" second step box will appear at the bottom of the screen. Make the radio button for 7.0.9 and click on "Download Adobe Reader".
An the way you go.
Hope this helped you.
I found these ways from user to user. I do not remember their names.
I thank them and I take the liberty to pass these to other suffering{LIKE ME} people.

    Google Chrome is a problem:
    if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
    My suggestion; use a different browser!

  • Adobe reader won't open due to dll error

    Upon opening any PDF or acrobate reader 9.3 on its own, I get the error below:
    AcroRd32.exe -entry point not found
    The procedue entry point

    Where can I get a new copy of this DLL to work with acrobat reader? I beleieve it's supposed to go in system32 or system so some instruction on where to download the correct files, where to copy them to and any other procedure necessary would be appreciated.
    By the way, uninstalling and re-installing the application did not help.

    What is your Windows version?

  • I downloaded the Adobe Reader but it would not install with error message "running scripts"

    Okay, Adobe XI and 7 show on the "control panel add or remove programs", but none of the adobe items show when I go to the start menu all programs.  I CANNOT remove from add or remove programs and an error message comes up.  I was hoping I could remove the XI and reinstall X, also.
    When I do a "search" for the C drive there are several Adobe programs.
    I guess we need to first of all find out why the XI does not want to install????????????????
    Thank you for your time.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the full offline Reader installer for the version you want from 
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

  • Unable to access adobe reader. I keep getting the following error message:

    The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.I tried to redownload and get the same error message. In the meantime, I am unable to open PDF docs. Someone please help. I have an emergency situation where I need to print off this letter and can't open it because it's telling me to stop running adobe reader and I can't. Thanks

    It would help if you specified your operating system.
    If Windows, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility; use it to remove the corrupted Reader installation.
    Download the Reader installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and try again.

  • Adobe Reader won't open

    just posted a long question (1st time on this forum) & been sent here after creating a username - do I really need to re-type everything all over again or can someone there see it?
    just in case.....
    Adobe Reader won't open - I eventually get a message saying there is no default mail client & telling me to run Outlook & set it as the default mail client (I'm not going to do that).  I then get a message saying that Adobe is not responding.  Uninstalled & re-installed & problem persists.

    Since you mention Outlook, I assume that you are on Windows.  Here are some things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

    There are multiple problems with these forums, and unfortunately things like that happen all the time (to all of us).

    When I try to open Adobe Reader, it just opens a gray page and then closes by itself. This also applies to any pdf files I try to access; they'd all follow the same pattern: Gray page-->automatically closes after 2 to 3 seconds time. I have tried accessing the Eula.exe via C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, however, the only available button for me to click is the "Decline" button and not the "Accept" license agreement. Please help!

  • Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

    I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade.  The fix is simple so read on.  After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped.  I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was.  For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
    Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader.  My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers.  I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers.  You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer.  That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed.  I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well.  The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense.  I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers.  That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
    ****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser.  If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open.  You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer.  The windows update prevents you from doing it.  At least that is my understanding. 
    The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser.  The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista.  A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista.  I hope this helps some avoid some headaches.  I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose. 
    I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

    Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader.  With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
    My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system.  For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version. 
    If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top.  However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web.  Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser.  At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.
    Thanks

  • Why is it that everytime I try to download Firefox 4 my Adobe reader can't open it because it is a damaged file? Because of this I am not able to download it. Not sure I want to since I see so many other people having problems with it.

    I will start the process of downloading Firefox 4 and then get the message that my Adobe Reader can't open the file because it is damaged or sent through an e mail. I was not in my e mail when I tried to download the update. This isn't the first time that this has happened. I gave up downloading updates in the past just because I would encounter this same problem.

    When you start the download, are you chooseing Save or Run?

  • Adobe Reader could not open 'A9R7D1F.tmp'

    Greetings~
    I have seen others with this issue, but none of their solutions have been able to fix my problem.
    When attempting to open a PDF document from a web site, I receive the following error:
    "Adobe Reader could not open 'A9R7D1F.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type of because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    This is limited to a specific set of computers.  Others within the organization function appropriately.  As such, it is not a web server or network problem.  Here are the specifics of the offending machine(s):  Windows 7, Internet Explorer 8, Adobe Reader 9.3.2.  Note that other machines with this same specs function appropriately.  I have confirmed there are no differing group policies and all are within the same subnet.
    Here is what I have tried.  After each item, the browser was closed and/or system rebooted.  Everyone of these tests resulted with the same error.
    Deleted all history in IE (cookies, temporary files, history, etc.).
    Uninstalll Reader, reboot, re-install Reader, reboot.
    Saved the PDF to the local desktop and tried to open that way.
    Installed an older version of Reader.
    Ensured the following Reader settings are selected: Display PDF in Browser, Allow Fast Web View, Allow Speculative Downloading in the background  (which match machines that are successful).
    Ensure IE browser settings are configured to "Automatically" check for newer versions of stored pages.
    Ensure PDF document is smaller than allowable disk space limit within IE.
    Can anyone help me with this?  I am out of ideas!
    Thank you.

    If you are generating files with anything before %PDF, these files are faulty. It's never been allowed, but Reader used to tolerate it for compatibility with an obscure Mac format.

  • Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

    Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

    I downloaded the file, and:
    It is not a Photoshop PDF.
    I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
    The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
    If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.
