Adobe reader doesn't open when word is running

my adobe reader won't open when I have word open. It opens fine with other components of the office suite. I have windows 8 on my machine. I have tried running and accepting eula.exe but this had no effect. Any ideas?

I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.06 and Microsoft office professional plus 2013 version 15.0.4605.1003

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

    Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

    Are these local or online documents?  If online, in what browser?  If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
    Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

  • Adobe XI doesn't open when clicked

    Hello,
    I have a user who has problems opening Adobe XI. I have searched the forums for answers and tried a number of things. I was hoping someone had a clear explanation for this issue or any additional suggestions.
    Problem: Adobe doesn't open when clicked. The AcroRD32.exe shows in the task manager but the GUI never comes up. When reinstall the software the user is fine for about a month and then the issue comes back.
    Solutions attempted:
    Repair the installation
    Reinstalled the software
    Adjusted registry settings
    Solutions to try:
    Delete the user profile
    Change the Enable Protect Mode at startup settings
    End all task related to Adobe and try to open
    Thanks,

    Also here is a copy of the Windows log errors that keep coming up with the program doesn't open:

  • Adobe reader is not opening my word document stating that it is an unsupported document??????

    I am having difficulty opening a word document that my instructor has attached to my Oncourse (student page) online. I have Adobe reader and Microsoft Office. Every time I try to open a word document a message box pops up from Adobe Reader stating that it cannot open it because it is either an unsupported file or it was damaged??????????

    Originally I was unable to open a document without getting a pop up screen from Adobe stating that Adobe was unable to open the doc because it was either an unsupported file or because it was damaged.
    I tried opening it up as the link you sent me directed me to, however I was unable to even follow step one because it did not gice me ANY of the options.
    My friend was trying to "fix" it last night and now it is doing something completely different. Now, when I try to open a document it opens a message box that reads, C:\Users\Owner\Downloads\Ch1pos(3).pptx is not a valid Win32 application???????
    I have  4 classes and 3 of my instructors had sent attachments to my Oncourse and or Canvas page and I have been unable to open their attachments since I have gotten my computer back from having a new harddrive put in. My boyfriend declined their offer to add Office because his mother has the disc. I installed Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, I have Adobe Cloud (which I am not sure I even need), Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 (also not sure I even need), Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08- also not sure I need), Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1 (not sure I need). .....

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open on Mac

    Hi,
    I cannot open PDF files on my mac.  As per other forums, I have tired deleteing and un-installing all adobe reader, then tried re-downlading it.  I still can't get the PDF's to open.  I have read through the 'terms' and agree, but it still doesn't open PDFs.  When i click to a link I just get a blank page.  I'm rather frustrated, I called mac support, they did there best to help me but they couldn't.  I can't not find a contact number for adobe, as i have tried following all of the advice given on the forums to no avail.  What do i do now?  I really would like to be able to open PDF files with Adobe Reader.
    Thanks!

    You know... you really DON'T need Adobe Reader on a Mac. Preview (part of the OS) is a much better viewer for PDFs. You say you uninstalled. I can only assume by that, you simply dragged the Reader folder to the trash and emptied it. Unfortunately that doesn't remove Preferences or .plist files from your system folder. In order to COMPLETELY remove an app you need to use a "cleaner" like AppZapper that will also remove ALL associated (and hidden) files for the app. Otherwise you install the new app with the same old broken preferences.
    Download and install Reader 11 again, then download and run AppZapper (it's a free trial, but well worth the $12.95 to buy if you decide to) to completely remove it. Then download and install Reader again. If it still doesn't work, get back to us here.

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open, PDF docs won't open

    When attempting to open a PDF file, nothing happens. When attempting to open Adobe Reader, nothing happens. Adobe has been repaired, uninstalled\re-installed, and updated. All other Adobe products have been uninstalled\re-installed. AcroRd32.exe was running multiple times in task manager. All of the instances were closed, Reader was re-installed again, and still nothing. All of this is on a Windows 7 machine. Any Ideas?

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open

    I recently downloaded Adobe Reader 11, now I cannot open any PDF files.

  • Web sight adobe reader file keeps opening in word pad help!!!!

    I have a very important file I need to print and it keeps opening in word pad. Seems like it was opened up once that way and now I can't get it to open anyway else. I am sure this is a simple fix but I can,t figure it out.
    Thanks

    Check your OS's help files for "file association". Change it back to Reader. In the meantime, you can open Reader first and use File>Open to open the file.

  • Adobe Reader freezes all browsers when opening a url to a PDF containing form fields...

    There is an issue we are currently experienceing with Adobe Acrobat 9 (updated to the latest version) where ALL BROWSERS (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) on each of two different systems (a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX Leopard and a Sony Vaio Laptop with Windows Vista) where the application will freeze up and crash the browser when we view a .pdf file from a url if the .pdf file iteself contains form fields.
    At first I though it may have been specific to Mac OSX and this MacBook we were trying to view the document on, but the same issue is now occuring with a new Sony Vaio laptop (running Windows Vista) as well.
    It seems like it is able to open .pdf documents containing form fields when they are stored locally, but when trying to access them via a url, the program will freeze up.  Sometimes it will eventually work if you had previously opened a .pdf prior to opening it via the url link and sometimes it doesn't.  And it seems to only be related to .pdfs containing fillable form fields (others open fine when accessing them by a url)
    Obviously it's become quite irratating and I'm hopeing I can find some insight on this support forum as to what may be causing this issue.
    Previous versions of Acrobat (installed on the MacBook) opened this very same .pdf file (url) fine before upgrading to version 9.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

  • Adobe Reader tries to open all files even Excel and Word docs.

    When I try to open files that are sent to me, the Adobe Reader tries to open them all instead of an Excel file getting opened automatically by Excel and a .doc being opened by Word.
    The message I get by the Reader says it cannot open it, of course. (I have Windows Vista on my HP computer if that is the problem.) Someone told me to take the default off of the Reader so the files open and download in the proper software program, but I am unable to find such a "default" option in the Reader program properties.
    I never had this problem with any previous Windows version, so not sure if it is my computer, or the Reader. How can I fix this so when I download or open a file, it automatically opens in the right software?

    This means that the file associations of the various Office programs have been muddled up somehow. Try an Office repair install; that should correct the file associations.

  • Safari 6 (7536.25) on Mid 2007 Mini running Lion damages pdf files when downloaded.  Adobe reader can't open them; downloaded via Chrome they can be opened.

    When I download pdf files using Safari 6, they can't be read by Adobe Reader; using Safari to read them isn't a solution, because Safari doesn't allow them to be printed page by page.  The same files, downloaded by Chrome, by contrast, can be opened and printed.  Is there a patch for this problem?

    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!
