Adobe reader still not working properly...

My problem is this: Adobe Reader opens up the main window, remains up for about 2-3 seconds, then closes. No error dialogue boxes, nothing. It doesn't matter if I open a .pdf file directly, or just run the Reader executable. I've reinstalled; I've uninstalled, cleaned up, and installed fresh; I've reverted all the way back to v10. ( I'm going to try 9.0 in the next 5 minutes ) The problem remains the same.
I'm running Win7 Home Premium.
The only change I've seen is when I run it in compatibility mode ( WinXP svc pack 2 ) is that it then asks if I want to disable protected mode. Which I do. Yet, I then run into the same problem. Damn thing just closes...
Running out of ideas. Anyone actually know how to fix this?
Thanks.
UPDATE: v 9.0 gives me the same problem...

I'm having sort of the same problem. Except that I get an error message saying something unknown has occurred and it's gonna close now. I've un-installed, re-installed, re-booted and it still will not open any pdf. Frustrating!

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!

After upgrading, Adobe reader is not working.

After upgrading to 10.10.2, Adobe reader is not working. It is asking for user agreement to be signed. I cannot find this again. I have uninstalled and re-installed but still does not appear. I have tried to contact Adobe with no luck. Can anyone help please?

Since you are running OS X 10.10.2, you do not have an iMac (PPC) so you have posted in the wrong forum. I have requested the Hosts to move your post to the correct forum where hopefully someone will see it and help you.

Installed Photoshop Elements. Card Reader still not working.

Installed Photoshop Elements. Card Reader still not Working.

And what does any of that have to do with Adobe software? You better check your hardware setup and install the proper driver for whatever card reader you use...

Adobe reader will not work with games

adobe reader will not work with games

That is correct. Adobe Reader is intended for viewing PDF files, not for playing games. Perhaps you are thinking of Adobe Flash Player?

HTML5 Player still not working properly on Win 8.1 N

Hello.
I am writing here because firefox still doesnt work properly on 8.1 N version,
and since it's happening for several months already... Maybe you don't even know about it ? :O
So the problem is that I can't play mp3 content uploaded to eg. SOUNDCLOUD, BANDCAMP, etc.
Yes, namely the mp3 content, if it was uploaded as a WAV, it plays fine (figured this in the midst of discussion in soundcloud support forums).
It just keeps throwing these
"Media resource http://popplers5.bandcamp.com/download/track?enc=mp3-128&fsig=dcf1baa696b5497143821935f1592c58&id=682061656&stream=1&ts=1424020629.0 could not be decoded."
So the problem seems to come about windows 8.1 N versions only, since they don't have the windows media player bundle.
I've tested and confirmed that same version firefox works on another windows system which had the 'regular' windows.

philipp, thank you for your answer :)
Meh, if it goes down to plain licensing problems, guess I am forced to install the media player bundle.. :(
Didnt think of it up to now, and kinda thought this would be a problem on mozzila's end, but now I understand they simply can't include that licensed stuff :/
Have a good evening and thank you!

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's with Tracked Packet & Paypal Labels - still not working properly?

This is probably an old refrain, but honestly, how many months/years has it been since Tracked Packet was added to Paypal labelling, and it seems it's still not working 100% correctly. Case in point: I rarely use TP, but when I tried to change my listing's shipping type from Small Packet to TP yesterday while preparing a label, I got an error message saying the information was incorrect and I couldn't complete the process with TP. I used the back button, tried inputting the details again, still no go. Finally, I decided to back out completely, return to the Paypal transaction page and start all over. This time I was able to get the label done. So it seems that if any other shipping type is input first, you can't change your mind and switch to TP during the process. This has never been a problem with Expedited Parcel or with Xpresspost -- you can input the details, check pricing, then return and change the shipping type as many times as desired. I'm wondering if the problem is me and/or my browser (again??), or does anyone else experience this annoying glitch? BTW, Tracked Packet is an air service, right? If not, I may be in trouble. I ask this because I see the estimated delivery time is from 4 to 15 days -- quite a spread for TP U.S.A.

Tracked Packet has always done the error since it was introduced. If another shipping option is used when you go to PayPal shipping from eBay, switching to Tracked Packet does not reset the form from the service that you came into. You cannot see anything but the form has not been reset. To get around this is simple. You need to reset the form. A trick to do this is to go to the Service Type entry box, select "Select Type" as the service and click "Continue" at the bottom of the page. This will generate an error message at the top saying to "Please enter a valid service type." This resets the form to the starter defaults and now you can select the Tracked Packet service. All the information that was entered will not be lost. I posted this solution way back when this "glitch" was first mentioned years ago when Tracked Packet was introduced. It was sent to kalvin at the time but he left eBay and it was never fixed. It is hard to get things fixed on eBay.ca Canada but it seems impossible to get anything fixed on PayPal shipping for Canada Post shipping issues.

ADOBE READER XI not working with HPT1200 Plotter

I recently update staff computers to use the Adboe Reader XI. Now they can not print to the plotter in our office.They can pront the same pdf file to all other printer/plotters but not the HPT1200. I uninstalled Adobe XI and re installed Adobe X. and it works. What do I have to do to get Adobe Reader XI to work with our color plotter?

Have you updated the HP print drivers for that plotter?

Deploying Adobe reader plugin not working

Hi
I have an adobe reader plugin that works on my development machine. It displayes the toolbar in the "Extended" tab. I copied the .api file onto the plugins folder on another machine but the extended tab does not display. I also copied this onto the plugins folder just to test and this works.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some place where it(adobe reader) logs errors?.

One of the limitations of plug-ins (in many apps) is that they tend to have to be developed in the same language as the host. Otherwise the cost of converting linkages makes plug-in performance unacceptable; similar to the reason 32-bit apps have 32-bit plug-ins and 64-bit apps have 64-bit plug-ins. Acrobat is written in C/C++, hence so are plug-ins. If Acrobat was ever written in C# (unlikely while it is also on Mac), then no doubt all the plug-ins in existence would need to be rewritten in C#.
Personally, having developed many and very large Acrobat plug-ins, I don't see that C# would be an advantage. Of course what is popular and what is marketed to developers is not always what is the most practical.

Adobe Reader does not work-how to use adobe reader on Lion

I was trying to print an international label on eBay via Adobe Reader, and was very dissapointed and shocked that it does not work on Lion.
I was so happy that I figured out how to use adobe reader on Lion, and hope I can help anyone else who is frusterated too.
Step 1. Download Google Chrome
Step 2. Printe your international label, or whatever you need to do that uses Adobe Reader

Thanks Shelly! I too was having trouble and thought it was something wrong with my Mac. I still have a big though. When I try to print the saved pdf file, I get a pop-up that says "The document could not be printed. There are no selected pages to print" even though I am looking at the complete doc. It's there and in my print prompt "all pages" are selected to print. The way I got around this, is by emailing the pdf file to a gmail address and viewing the attachment via Google Docs. It loads perfectly and prints without a problem.

Adobe Reader XI not working for me (Windows 7)

I just installed adobe reader XI and now I can't open any PDF files. The application itself won't even start properly. The default window opens but then it completely shutsdown without any indication of why it did so. No error report or anything.

I found the solution to the program itself not opening properly on another thread on this site. See below:
I spoke to a colleague about what was happening, and he had me reinstall Adobe Reader XI and attempt to start it. I then navigated to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\ folder and double-clicked the Eula.exe. It displayed the End User License Agreement window and I clicked 'Accept'. After doing that I was able to start the Reader without issue and it all seems to be working fine now.
The above worked for me and now Reader XI will open properly and stay open. Hope this helps someone else.
