Adobe reader doesn't work in mac?

I cannot get adobe reader to work on new macbookk pro after a "successful" download.

After a successful download, you need to install the software. Did you do that? If so, are you getting any error messages? What are they?

  • Adobe Reader doesn't work after windows 7 update

    Hello,
    My Adobe Reader X was working fine, until one night where Windows 7 automatically updated, and after that Adobe Reader doesn't work anymore. It doesn't respond AT ALL when I click on it, and I cannot view PDF files anymore.
    I uninstalled it, and re-installed it --- still doesn't work. I tried downloading version 9, but still it doesn't work.
    I also tried to do system restore, but somehow it won't let me --- it says it failed to do so.
    When I try to open PDF files in IE 10, it says "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader..." and an error code of 103:103.
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    You can try running cleaner on your machine

    and then again install latest Reader from

  • Every Programme that it is opened with Adobe Reader doesn't work What Can I do ?

    Every Programme that it is opened with Adobe Reader doesn't work What Can I do ?

    More information please.
    Version of Reader? OS?  Can you open reader by double-clicking on its icon? Can you open reader by double-clicking on a pdf file? What programs are trying to open reader? Some programs might be restricting your ability to view pdf files using the Reader plug-in due to security concerns. If this is the case you need to find out how to enable the plug-in in the case of each application.

  • 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.

  • (Problem with arrows )Adobe Reader doesn't work correctly

    I've problem with Adobe Reader plug-in. When I have open tab with pdf file, my arrow keys don't work in other tabs in firefox, only in this tab where it's open pdf file. Also I noticed that when trying to use the arrows in the other cards, they work on a pdf file.
    I'm tried to uninstall and install again Adobe Reader, but it doesn't work. Please help.

    I solved the problem by reinstall Firefox, because when i turned off Adobe-plugin my pdf file still worked , but arrows still didn't worked. I think, that it wasn't problem with adobe plugin.

  • Adobe Reader 10 not working with Mac OS 10.6.7 browser

    After upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.7, Adobe Reader 10 will not download a pdf file properly from either Safari or Firefox. In either browser, the resulting page is totally blank. Downloading older versions of Adobe Reader has not resolved the issue. Outside of any connection with a browser, Adobe Reader 10 works flawlessly as a free standing program. Would be grateful for any assistance.

    For everyone having the problem:
    Highlight one of your .pdf documents. Hit Command + I on the keyboard for the "get info" window to open up.
    Check to see what the "Open with" shows. If it is not Preview, choose Preview. You may have to click on the little lock in the bottom right corner first to unlock it and enter your admin password. When done, click the little lock to close it. Close the window. Restart computer. Try a .pdf now to see if it works.

  • What versions of Adobe Reader will *really* work with Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro 2.16 ghz Intel Core2 Duo?

    Below is a list of your minimum requirements for Mac for versions 9-11 of Adobe Reader:
    Please note that my operating system is neither explicitly included or excluded and "or later" is not used in your info below.  Perhaps Adobe can manage to inform its users properly or own up to issues (note the many others asking the same unanswered question in many venues, including these forums)?  My AR updater will not update beyond AR9.5.5.
    I am also having other sudden issues related to .pdf creation from MS Word docs, which I will address in a separate post.
    Thank you for a prompt and courteous reply.

  • Adobe reader doesn't work

    I had Adobe Reader 10.1.8 installed om my laptop, and it was not possible to open e-tickets in pdf from the www.ns.nl site. I was recommended to update adobe reader. I did this inititally from the programme, but it did not work. Then I deleted adobe reader from the computer, restarted and downloaded the programme from your site. If I open Adobe Reader, it will pop up, but if I click on it, it gives a beep-sound. The menues are grey. Then I deleted the programme again and installed the old version 10.1.8. The problems are still the same. If I try to open a pdf-file from my hard disk, the programme opens for a few seconds and then disappears. What can be the cause and solution? I have Windows 7, 64 bits version, and I have downloaded the programme in Internet Explorer 10. thanks in advance, regards Mirjam Koreman

    Some things to try (Reader XI)...
    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

  • This new XI Adobe Reader doesn't work!!!!

    After I updated it to 11.0.02 it stopped working!!
    It doesn't open any .pdf online in ANY browser and it doesn't open any .pdf file on my PC. I have Windows 7. Before that everything worked perfectly. But after that update it just doesn't. First it opens an empty inactive Reader window and after few seconds it closes it. In browsers when I try to open online .pdf documents it just gives me a blank black page. I tried it on my old PC where I have XP and after million tries it barely opened me a file that I urgently needed to print out. BUT it didn't wanna print out giving me an error something like printing opion is not found, so I had to use my favorite Print Screen key and Paint to then print out an image file (which means that there was everything fine with the printing options on my computer!).
    What do I do?
    I've noticed there are a lot of complains here on the forum about this version of AR, so maybe it DOES have an error?

    i don't remember how it was formulated exactly. there was no printing option found. that was on my other computer (with XP). but on Windows 7 it won't even open, i'm not even talking about printing, because i wouldn't know. the window simply blank, inactive  and immediately closes. online documents load....and in the end just black window or blank Reader page. In IE it gives me "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/ Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (15:3)" - every time...

  • Adobe reader does not work properly

    My adobe reader doesn not open articles. All I get is a blank gray screen and a small circle where it looks like the file is trying to load. The reader use to open files with no problem and then it just didn't work correctly

    Hi Jaadbrown
    You have two options to solve the problem:
    1.- Remenber that every Mac can read all PDF format file with your "Preview App".
    2.- You can uninstall your adobe reader deleting the App from your Aplication folder and download for free on the Official Adobe site in this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=JZEFU
    Good luck ... I hope it helps you!

  • 'Adobe Reader has stopped working' error message

    I've recently updated from Adobe Reader X to Adobe Reader XI using Adobe Cleaner and installer from the website. Whenever I open a pdf file or start the Reader the following error occurs and closes the program: 'Adobe Reader has stopped working'. This message would never occur when I had version X. Moreover, it doesn't occur in any other program I use so far. I've disabled Protected Mode and run Eula.exe, but that didn't help. Here are some details from the event log

  • Highlight in Adobe Reader X not working after update to 10.1.1

    Hello
    We have an application aimed at assisting people with reading difficulties. For that purpose we have written an Adobe Reader plugin which makes our application able to read text from PDF documents. While it reads it also highlights the words it is reading so that the user can keep up with it. However, after the 10.1.1 update of the Reader the highlighting no longer works.
    The plugin was originally developed using Acrobat SDK 8.1, but the problem remained even after I upgraded to SDK 10. The highlighting is done using the AV-layer with the AVPageViewHighlightText() method.
    We need to know if there is something in this recent update which breaks the highlight functionality, and if so, is it intentional?
    PS: We are running with Protected Mode disabled since reading doesn’t work at all with it.

    Ok, I found the problem.
    We are using the void AVPageViewDrawNow(AVPageView pageView) method to make sure that some changes are applied in certain cases. The behavior of this method seems to be different in Adobe Reader 10.1.1. Removing the call brought our highlighting back to life.

  • Adobe reader has stopped working when opening tracker [vista & reader x]

    Hello all,
         I'm a developer and im constantly uninstalling and reinstalling reader x and acrobat pro x, but i typically have both installed.  Recently, i uninstalled both reader x and acrobat x via Add/Remove Programs in windows Vista, and then later reinstalled them both, and now when i click the adobe tracker icon in my systray, it says adobe reader has stopped working.  I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling and then rebooting, but that doesn't seem to help.  Event viewer says:
    Faulting application AcroRd32.exe, version 10.0.1.434, time stamp 0x4d456f48, faulting module mshtml.dll, version 9.0.8080.16413, time stamp 0x4d4cefa9, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x002be0d0, process id 0x1674, application start time 0x01cc04f02e5354a8.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks!

    This is strange. Can you try a couple of things:
    1. Try launching Tracker in Acrobat. In Acrobat X, you will find it in Comment pane->Review->Track Reviews
    2. Launch Reader in non-sandbox mode. For this, launch Reader and uncheck the option 'Enable Protected Mode at startup' in Reader Preferences->General. Close and re-launch Reader. Now launch Tracker.
    Does it still crash in both the cases?
