I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
More info is better.

Adobe reader will not start

I have a Windows 7 Laptop, 64 bits. Suddenly adobe reader will not function; it starts, a black field appears, and it vanishes.
Everything tried: erase program, reinstall, PC back to factory installation. Nothing helps. Any other suggestions?

The End User License Agreement "sticks" in Windows 7 frequently.
Go to: C:/Programs (x86)/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
Look for the file named eula.exe (or just eula)
Double click it. Accept the agreement.
Launch Reader.

Photoshop Elements 8 and Adobe Air will not exe after installation

I am currently running elements 8. Since yesterday the photoshop elements editor will not execute, but crashing after it tries to initiates TWAIN.
I have been uninstalling and reinstalling since yesterday.
1. I have deleted elements preferences.
2. I have used my utility drive to clean up clutter and excess files.
3. I have cleaned my registry using Systems Mechanic
4. I have installed the program from the desktop.
5. I have copied the execution file to the desktop to use as a shortcut.
6. I have turned off all devices and drivers that might be interfering and installed in simple mode.
7. I have updated my drivers.
8. I have tried the repair function
9. I have removed the program manually to ensure nothing is lingering and then tried reinstalling.
10. I have tried Systems Restore.
11. I am in the process of defragmenting my hard drive
12. I have tried installing from the D: drive
After all of this nothing has worked, and to make matters worse, now Adobe Air is crashing.
Is there anything else that I have not tried that might remedy this problem.
I have the program on another computer and it works fine.

Go into the program files (program files(x86) for a 64-bit system), find the Elements 8 folder and within that Plug-ins>ImportModules and delete the Adobe TWAIN plugin. (You may have trouble scanning directly into the editor after doing this)

Adobe reader will not open after download

Please help. I have downloaded the newest version of reader and It will not open up; it says I must agree to agreement. there is no agreement.

You downloaded it but, did you install it?
If in Windows, you can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

Adobe reader will not start. I can not work on my taxes.

I've tried uninstalling, uninstalling with the Adobe clean uninstall tool, repairing windows, repairing Adobe reader, and TDSSKiller, and nothing works. Every time I try to start the reader it comes up with the message: "acrobat failed to load its core DLL". I'm running windows 7, and have tried to restore the OS to a previous version, but the corrupt file always comes up as not being able to be repaired. Also get message from Reader_sl.exe that the Application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000006.

Sort of. I can not update windows or adobe without risk of losing everything again. MS and Adobe should work together better if the IRS is going to require everybody to use Adobe. The computer guy changed a lot of settings on my computer in order to get Adobe 10 to work, and now my mail program and Internet explorer programs keep locking up. Adobe customer support is non-existant; i.e. sucks. This is Adobe/MS problem is forcing me to buy a new computer, probably just how they planned it.

For some strange reason Adobe Reader will not install after following instructions, even though I install and uninstall other programs regularly. After downloading the installer and opening it, I click on the run in the security box. The long rectangular

Can someone help with the install?

What is your operating system? What is the exact problem you are having?

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Digital Editions 4.0 will not open after installation on Windows XP laptop.

Digital Editions 4.0 will not open after installation on Windows XP laptop. DigitalEditions 3.0 installs and opens fine. Have tried 4.0 several times. Removed 3.0 and 4.0, reboot, reinstall 4.0 still will not open. Error message says Windows has experienced and problem and requires that Digital Editions must be shut down.

Solved my own problem. It was necessary to delete all instances of Adobe Digital Editions in programs and the registry. After doing so and reinstalling 4.02...., it became available in the "open with" dialogue box and became the default epub reader.

What I do now ?

Okay. I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

FP Install Will Not Start after DLM Install

The FP installation will not start after an apparent DLM installation. The DLM appears to install and the control panel shows it is present, but the FP installation will not start. There are no other messages that appear. A restart and reinstallation attempt installs the DLM again, but still no FP install. Using XP SP3 and IE 8.0.
Thx

Hi mont1228,
The Adobe Download Manager (DLM) executes the Flash installer in "silent mode" so you shouldn't see a dialog box. To confirm that Flash was installed successfully, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and let me know if the animation doesn't appear.
Best regards,

IPod service manager will not start after installing iTunes 10

iPod service manger will not start after loading iTunes 10. iPhone will not connect. I've removed reinstalled, wiped the registry reinstalled and deauthorized, removed and reinstalled from several different downloads. I have full permissions fo rservices and am administrator.. We now have three other units in teh office with the same issue.
now what do I do?

Don't know about fixing PitStop. However, have you tried a simple repair on Acrobat. If Acrobat won't open you can do that from the Programs and Features menu (Add/Remove Programs in OS prior to Win7).

Firefox will not start, after reboot.

For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.

A few times a week

Hello Tom.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Adobe Reader will not center the printable area on the page

Hi there,
I have posted a few times about this issue already but have still not gotten an answer so I'm trying again. Adobe Reader will not center PDF files on the page if the printable area is less than 8.5" X 11". I make sewing patterns for a living and have always drafted them on 7.5" X 10" artboards (printable areas)....the art boards are centered on the page when they are drafted. Up until a few months ago there has never been an issue for me or my customers to print the patterns in either landscape, portrait (depending on the particuar PDF's orientation) or autoportrait/landscape orientation. Then about 2 or so months ago I started getting complaints about the top left hand side of the page getting cut off. When I tried printing one of the PDF's myself that was drafted in landscape orientation, and I printed it in "landscape" orientation, the top left side of the pdf did indeed get cut off. When I printed in autoportrait/landscape orientation the pdf printed fine, and for many of my customers this seems to fix the problem. But for many of them it doesn't fix the problem and the pdf still prints with part of it getting cut off regardless of which box is checked for orientation. I've found that if I go to the "pages to print" box and click "other options" then select "current view" this often solves the problem...but then the user does not seem to be able to select which pages to print. This is becoming a major problem for my business (lots of complaints) and would really like to know if anyone has looked at this issue and if the problem will be solved anytime soon. It is not just me but many of my colleagues and 100's of customers. Help! Thank you:)

Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.
