Adobe Reader hangs after opening a PDF file for a minuet

Pat. Thanks for your promote reply. I have resolved the issue.
Closing the tools pane at the right side:
open Adobe Reader without opening a PDF file
collapse 'Tools' pane
then open some PDF
It shouldn't hang anymore

Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged

On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account. If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document. If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.
I'm using Adobe Reader XI v11.0.10
I'm using Windows 8.1
Is anyone encountering this same issue with outlook?

I copied it again. Do you see it? BTW, how do I set privacy? (I'm new at this)

Problems in Adobe Reader when I open a pdf file

I have problems in Adobe Reader when I open a pdf file, the menu bar appears blank without options and when I pass the mouse over the bar she disappears. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader and to no avail. Could anyone help in this case.

That is the old version that causes the problem; you need to update to the latest version (15.0.2.361).

Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

Hi Steve,
Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

What kind of advertisement? In Adobe Reader? Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa

Are you trying to open a pdf within a browser (clicking a link)? If so, which browser?

Safari crash after opening a PDF file

For the past week or so, everytime a link leads to a PDF file, Safari loads the file and then immediately crashes. I have checked my disk, verified and fixed any permissions, etc. but the problem persists. Although I checked the "report" button when I got the message from the OS, I have not heard back from anyone.
Has anyone else experienced such a behavior? I suspect that it is not related to Safari, but rather to Adobe Acrobat, since I always have a similar experience when Adobe tries to look for updates. The Adobe Update Manager crashes the minute it is launched. I have even tried to udate my Acrobat 7.0 for some new patches but I cannot get to them fo some reason or another, mostly because the Adobe system seems to be down for maintenance most of the time. I saw that one of the updates is marked "critical".
I have saved the "log file" after the last crash, about an hour ago (if that helps anyone).
Thanks for any hints.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Apple does not respond to submitted crash reports. Rather, they are used for software development purposes. Best thing to do in this forum is to copy/paste a copy of the entire report to your reply in this thread.
If you see a relationship between the Adobe crashes and Safari opening a PDF file, then go to Adobe Acrobats preference file>Internet and designate Apple's "Preview" as your PDF reader. Then, go to the Finder and move to your desktop your Adobe Reader plug-in from your Internet Plug-ins folder either the main or user library). Restart Safari and try a PDF (it ought to now open within the browser). If Safari does not crash, then yes, the problem lies with Adobe. Something you can take up in one of Adobe's own forums.

Adobe Reader will not email my .pdf files. Message: "Email has not been set up on this device."

Adobe Reader will not email my .pdf files. Message: "Email has not been set up on this device." I have 4 email accounts that have been set up. When trying to email from Adobe, the email screen does come up, but does not allow me to enter any recipients in the field, and when I try, the email page's fields simply goes blank and disappears, taking me back to the document I am trying to send. After trying repeatedly, I get the message about needing to set up my email. My mother and I have also noticed that when we try to open documents sent in A.R., they may open, or just go blank. Any suggestions or fixes?

Setting up your email is a bit out of the scope of this forum. I'd suggest asking for help in the Apple forums devoted to the iPad. Good luck.
