Adobe reader is incompatible with Windows 8.1 and freezes and exits itself in a minute after loading

Can someone help me out to fix this issue?

Some things to try...
Assuming that you use Reader XI, update to 11.0.5
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

  • Adobe Reader Versions Compatible with Window 7 & I.E. 8.0

    We have a few users that experience blank pages or a pop-up with no text and only an OK button when trying to open an Adobe (web) Form with Adobe Reader 9.0 or 9.4.2 or 9.4.0 on Window 7 and I.E. 8.  Adobe Reader X is not an option since it is not supported within our firm. Does anyone have a list of the compatible Adobe Reader Versions for Windows 7 and I.E. 8. I'm sure this is highly unlikely, but does Adobe have a matrix that indicates the compatible version according to O.S. and Browser?

    What is your operating system and email client?  If you use web-based email, in what browser?
    What exactly does "not work" mean?  I have no problems using Save As with email attachments and Reader 11.0.6.

  • Adobe Reader not working with Windows 8

    I have windows 8 with Outlook.  I installed Adobe Reader 11 and tried to open two different files both of which I can open with my Iphone.  I received a message saying that the files were corrupted or invalid.  I tried downloading Adobe Reader 8 for Touch and could not open the files with it either.  Any recommendations?

    Assuming that these are Outlook email attachments, can you try to download one to the local disk, then open it from there with Adobe Reader?

  • Does Adobe Reader XI work with Windows Starter 7?

    I've been having trouble downloading Adobe Reader XI. It kept hanging at 96% during the installation. I tried to restart and download again and checked for viruses, but the installation never worked. I also tried the adobe cleaner to clean the product, restart and try the installation again. That didn't work. I also tried the direct download link and that didn't work either. In fact the direct download ended by saying there was a 150210 error ( no idea what that means :/ ).
    So now I'm looking at the specs and wondering if the problem this whole time is that it's not compatible with WIndows Starter 7. Some tech specs don't specifically list Starter 7 (it's just assumed with Windows 7). Should this be working on my system or not? And if it is supposed to be working, how can I get the installation to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think the Reader installer should work on any Windows 7 edition.  I don't know what the 150210 error means.
    Try if you can succeed with the MSI installer: http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi (English version 11.0.0).

  • Adobe Reader 9 incompatible with keynote pdf export files

    Dear all
    I've been creating lectures using keynote for quite a while and it has been working fine. I'm relying on using pdf export for my students to print out my lecture notes.
    However, since Adobe Reader 9.0, my exported pdf files do not appear right on Adobe -- they look perfect using a pdf viewer but not with Adobe Reader (they seem fine with Adobe 7 !!)
    It's a pretty bad situation, IT services are of no help and don't know why this happens (and are unable to provide another pdf viewer for University computers). I might have to start using a different programme which I really don't want to do.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    I can export as ppt (loosing some of the nice layout) and quicktime but that's not really a proper alternative.
    Btw it was tried out on a number of different University computers (and sometimes, the disappeared text, appears when highlighting the document)
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I just DL'd the newest iWork, with KN 5.0.5, and have Reader 9.4.1. I exported a few of my KN presentations to pdf, and the result was fine with both Preview and Adobe Reader (but then, I had no problem before the update, either). So whatever the problem is, it's not universal.
    But I might still suggest a possible solution for those who are experiencing the problem (which I can't test conclusively, since I don't have it): Once the KN has been exported to pdf, open the pdf file with GraphicConverter, and then save it as pdf (to make sure I was saving a whole new file, and wanting to test it against the original version, I changed its name a bit). For me, again, both Preview and Reader open the new pdf file fine. But my theory is that saving with GC might possibly alter the file sufficiently to make it good for Reader, when it wasn't before.

  • Adobe Reader incompatible with Windows Internet Explorer 9

    I recently installed the update for Windows Internet Eexplorer 9 on my laptop (Vista Home Premium) and have installed the latest Adobe Reader as well.
    After installing Windows IE 9 I found that I was not able to view any letters etc online where Adobe Reader was required.
    I tried all the suggestions in the associated help screen to no avail, so I finally 'uninstalled'  the Windows I E 9 update and magically I was once again able to view online letters etc.
    I am wondering why the latest Adobe Reader is incompatible with Windows I E 9?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Judith Matthews [email address removed by host]

    I believe IE9 is not supported with Reader9, but everything should work as usual. I have both on my machine and am able to use them without any problem.
    Try repairing Reader from Programs in Control Panel.
    Kindly refer to System Requirement section in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_9.5.pdf

  • Adobe Photoshop Incompatible with Windows 7 ?

    I typically do not have problems installing Microsoft products, Corel products, HP products, AV software, dozens of other companies products on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have never had problems installing Adobe products on ME, XP, Vista. However, every recent Adobe product I have purchased have failed to install on Windows 7 Home Premium and it typically takes support several hours to fix, if it can be fixed at all. It involves creating new accounts, disabling services, disabling the UAC, doing partial restarts (I did not even know those existed) and normal restarts, etc (I do have administrative rights on my account(s)).
    Today I was working with customer support (taking control of my desktop). We did not succeed to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
    During the installation a windows dialog box was displayed which stated that the Adobe installation .exe file was incompatible with Windows UAC.
    There is clearly something wrong with the Adobe installer because Adobe products are the only products that cannot be installed.
    Why is it so difficult tp install Adobe products on a Windows 7 system?
    Does anyone know what is going on?
    Is the Adobe installer really incompatible with Windows 7 as the Windows dialog box stated?
    Thomas

    Thank you for your help all three of you,
    I finally succeeded to install.
    I was using the downloaded version (not the DVD), I should have mentioned that. I did two things. I turned off the UAC (as suggested) and I moved the installation files from my user account folder where they were placed by default (I initially just accepted the default). The user account was protected despite my administrative rights, which is why install using setup.exe in the user account location failed. I have a feeling that I would not have had to turn off the UAC or move the files out of the user account folder if I had run as administrator. I'll remember that next time. It is funny customer support did not see this.
    Anyway, now it is installed

  • What verion of adobe reader is compatible with IE 8 on windows xp

    There is a document we generate from our website, recently updated adobe and now the documents display blank pages. So just want to find out which version of adobe reader is compatible with IE 8 on windows xp

    Reader 10.1.8 and 11.0.4 work perfectly fine on Windows XP SP3.
    Does this happen when you open that document in the browser?  See if anything in here helps: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html

  • PPro 1.5 incompatible with Windows 7

    I just upgraded laptops and have been eager to continue editing with Premiere Pro 1.5.  However, the program will not upload and gets stuck during the initialization process at GPUPagecurl.aex.  Is version 1.5 incompatible with Windows 7 and if so, is there a fix/patch?
    Laptop specs:  i7 chip  8G Ram  dual quad processor @1.6 Ghz  1.6 Ghz and 64bit OS

    Personal aside - I feel that the min. requirements are awfully low. They are basically enough to install the program, and launch it. Trying to edit anything with a min. system will be horribly painful, if even possible.
    It is good that you read of the min. system requirements. I would not attempt to go with something below those.
    Now, with about Photoshop CS, Adobe finally issued a min. video card statement for PS. It was 128MB VRAM min. I still ran PS CS for a few years on a Matrox G-450 64MB video card, without issues. Now, this is VASTLY different than CPU, RAM or HDD setup.
    Good luck, and thanks for reporting, even if it was not good news. That will very likely help others with the same question.

  • 10.5.0.142 update incompatible with windows 7

    I unfortunately updated my desktop (windows 7 32 bit) and laptop (windows 7 64 bit) to itunes 10.5.0.142. Update seems incompatible with windows 7. It has slowed both computers to a crawl, even when itunes not running. Itunes functions do not work or process at a dead crawl. Cannot access the store. Cannot sync iphone. Tried reinstalling previous itunes version, but previous version can't access itunes library, giving error message: "cannot access itunes library that was created by newer version of itunes." Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes multiple times. Have turned off all other processes to look for incompatibility, but issues remain. I am NOT PLEASED!.

  • Search Server 2010 Express: Open a PDF document from list of search results invokes adobe reader client application with error

    Hi community,
    I set up search server 2010 express on a windows 2008 r2 server.
    The Adobe PDF iFilter 9 64 bit is installed and search is correctly configured to find PDF-files.
    When doing a search and clicking on a link of the result page, the PDF is not opened in the browser, instead the adobe reader XI client application (11.0.04) is invoked and an error raised like "could not open document .. check syntax of url..."
    Right click on a link to open in new tab works fine. And PDF-Files from other arbitrary Internet Sites opens in browser correctly. Moreover when configure Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as default application on the client it also open in Browser correctly.
    I noticed googling the web there are several challenges when dealing with PDF-files in sharepoint. The following settings are made so far:
    1. In IE: Add-On to open PDF in Browser is enabled for all sites.
    2. Client Integration is enabled
    3. The OpenControl attribute in the DOCICON.xml is left empty OpenControl="" for the pdf entry.
    4. The Browser File Handling is set to "Permissive".
    Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.
    I appreciate any help on this. I don't know what to do further.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Before responding to your points I want to give a little more context:
    We have an intranet based on pure html and a little aspx containing many of those pdf- files. By clicking on the links in the intranet the files open correctly in browser handled by the adobe plugin. Now we set up this search server crawling the file system
    accessed through a share to the root folder of the intranet. In the search server settings a host mapping rule is applied to replace the file://[share] with http://[intranet host+domain+port] to access files over http.
    And now to answer your question. The resulting urls are the same, copying the link from intranet and copying the link from the search result (except some case issues).
    The event viewer not seem to show any errors on this, though I'm not very familiar using it.
    If any further information are from interest and any ideas come to your mind - please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe application error . . . . I now cannot open any PDF's. Adobe seems to be unresponsive.

    I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe
    I now cannot open any PDF's and Adobe seems unresponsive. I have tried to follow a step by step guide on how to fix this but Adobe won't stay open long enough for me to complete the steps. When I open Adobe it stays open for a matter of seconds then minimises to the task bar and when I click on it again I can't do anything with it and have to close it via task manager
    Please help!?

    Disabling Protected Mode should fix the problem.  But since you cannot even open Adobe Reader by itself, you need to do it via the Windows registry.  If you tell me your installed Reader version, I can give you a registry script to do that.

  • Where do I get Adobe Reader Desktop version for Windows 8?

    Since I went to Windows 8, every time I look at a PDF file it seems to use the Adobe Reader Touch app. That may be fine for a tablet, but I need and want the desktop functionality of the old Adobe reader on my notebook machine. What version of Adobe Reader do I need to download to get that and still have it run with no problems under the desktop on Windows 8?

    Download Adobe Reader XI for desktop. Works perfectly.

  • Unable to uninstall adobe reader 8.16 on windows xp

    I wanted to uninstal adobe reader 8 after finding I could use adobe reader 9, I uninstalled adobe reader and ended up having to restore my system after a server problem with the new software putting adobe 8 back. I tried to uninstall it again after switching off the machine for a while for the serer to recover, I still cant uninstall 8 even after installing adobe reader 9.

    I tried on the day to navigate the adobe site on dial up, adobe should cater to people on a budget if they are going to service us with a free reader. Personally I would prefer another program to decode a pdf document that does just that - without all the other stuff I will never use. Today I found I may be able to uninstall adobe 8 by running kb404307, I couldn't even find a download page for the fix. Once again I got frustrated with my pc and adobe.
