Adobe reader frozen on macbook pro.

Adobe reader frozen on macbook pro.  can't delete application or restart the computer.  Says the program is open.  Can't force quit either.

I just tried that site.  Works ok for me.
You did remember to restart FF after installing the flash player didn't you?
Try also installing Perian.

  • Scrolling through PDF files is slow using Adobe Reader on MY MACBOOK pro with retina

    Scrolling through PDF file using Adobe reader on my MACBOOK pro is very slow and stuters. That is even for small files. MAC preview and Adobe pro do not have this issue. It is only Adobe ready.
    Please advice.

    Summarizing the problem specifics and versions for future readers:
    There are two separate "slow scrolling" bugs in recent versions of Adobe Reader on Mac OS X. Symptoms: scrolling by mouse or fn + down arrow is very sluggish and laggy. It is not isolated to large or graphically complex documents. This 2 megabyte PDF shows illustrates the problem: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/nasa-tnd-6846pt.1.pdf
    Problem 1: Adobe plug-in for Safari causes slow scrolling when viewing PDF documents within Safari. Solution: remove Adobe plugins from Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. I also deleted AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. This will cause PDF display within Safari to revert to the built-in Apple PDF renderer, which is very fast. These files will be re-installed anytime you install or upgrade Adobe Reader.
    Problem 2: Stand-alone Adobe Reader scrolling is slow starting with version 11.0.01. Version 10.1.4 and earlier are not slow. User CF McBlob did not experience this slowdown, but was also running Acrobat 10.1.7, which might have libraries which prevented the problem. I'll do further testing when possible to try and isolate more details.
    Platform specifics: OS X 10.8.4, late 2012 iMac 27", i7 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 3TB Fusion drive, GPU = GTX675MX, 1GB

  • I can't download new version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  Please help?

    I can't download a newer version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  What can I do? 

    No, sorry, that's not how forums work. We are just ordinary people, not employed by Adobe (and Adobe won't help, because it's free software).
    Step 1. Try to get the file you want on screen. I expect you to see the message "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document"
    Step 2. Understand you are looking at a page of a file, even though it looks like an error message. It is in a window, right?
    Step 3. Move your mouse towards the bottom of the window. Stop moving the mouse. A little bar should appear with four buttons.
    Step 4. Click the fourth button.
    Step 5. Open FINDER.
    Step 6. Open Downloads from your left bar.
    Step 7. Find the file you just downloaded.
    Step 8. Double click on that file to open it.
    Please do not skip anything, just because you don't understand it. Instead, let us know.
    If these instructions let you down, please let us know (a) on which step, and (b) what actually happens instead of what I said.

  • Adobe Reader Update for MacBook Pro with Retina Display

    I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display and noticed when I downloaded Adobe Reader that it had not yet been updated to support the new Retina Display. If I remember correctly, it was announced that Adobe Photshop has been updated to support the new display. Will there also be an update for Reader any time soon?

    Hi,
    Reader and Acrobat XI will support Retina display for both the user interface and document rendering with the September update.
    For now, the UI is Retina capable but the document content is still rendered at a lower resolution.
    Few more weeks to go
    Best,
    Luc

  • ADOBE Reader issues with Macbook Pro

    Was trying to view a pay document from my HR site and it said Iwas missing Adobe Reader plug in. I have it downloaded - twice and still no luck. The Adobe reader is in my applications, but the website can not seem to use it.

    The web site cannot use the Adobe Reader application directly.  You need to download the pdf and then you can view it with the Adobe Reader application.  If that website doesn't allow the pdf to be downloaded and indeed requires a pdf reader plugin, off hand I don't think Adobe makes a mac browser pdf reader plugin.  I could be wrong but I'm not aware of such a plugin.
    On the other there does exist a pdf browser plugin.  It's called, appropriately enough, "PDF Browser Plugin".  You can find it here.   Whether it works or not at that web site you are using is another question that probably can only be answered by trying it.  The web site could be specifically checking for some Adobe plugin, in which case, this substitute will not work.
    Are you sure you can't just download the file to use Adobe Reader, or for that matter, Apple's Preview app?

  • I have downloaded Adobe Reader into my MacBook Pro, now how do I activate Plug-Ins?

    I have downloaded Adobe Reader.  How do I activate Plug-Ins?

    I don't know what kind of plug-in I need to activate.  In fact I don't even know what a plug-in is.  All I know is that when I attempted to download some photos and a document, both from an outside source, a box appeared saying "missing plug-in."  I have used the the photo website many times before with no trouble.  The one clue I have is that the most recent attempt to download the photos said that I needed to update my Adobe Reader, which I did, but alas, to no avail.  Help!  Please!

  • Is it safe to download adobe reader for my macbook? i don't want any viruses to pop up

    can i download adobe reader for my macbook pro? is it safe or will i be at risk for viruses?

    You may be confusing Adobe Flash - which is known for security issues - with Adobe Reader perhaps.
    I think you are safe to download Adobe Reader. Always update the software when updates are available since many updates do include security fixes as well as bug fixes and any new features that have been added.
    I have always had some version of Adobe Reader on all of my Macs and have never had any virus, Trojan or Malware on any of them.

  • Installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5, now my DVD player does not work. Ideas?

    I installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro, OS 10.7.5. Now my DVD player will not work. Any ideas?

    Problem solved. Yes, it was a coincidence. The problem had to do with my DVD preferences, not the Adobe installation. Thanks for your reply.

  • I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

    I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
    I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

    It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?
