Adobe reader won't open and closes internet when trying to open a pdf

I'm not sure when it started, but for the last 2 weeks every time I try to open a pdf file on the internet it stops and says "internet Explorer has stopped working" and will then close the window.  I thought it was just a cable (internet connection) problem since we had been having issues in that area, but now that's fixed and I still cannot open a pdf on the internet.  I uninstallled and restarted and re-installled Adobe Reader and I can't even open Adobe Reader much less a pdf from the internet.  Please help!  I've also tried installing Safari and it has the same results.  I'm sure it has to do with my Reader, but I just don't know how to fix it.

I finally uninstalled Adobe Reader and found a free pdf reader program.  At least now I can save the file I want to look at and can
open it with the other program.  Thanks for all your suggestions and help.  I learned a lot of new things.  Sorry Adobe... your loss

  • Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset.

    Lightroom opens fine initially, but when trying to open a different catalog it will go through the process but never reopen again. I can't get it to open at all until the computer is reset. I have been using Lightroom 4 for 18  months now and this problem just started happening in the last month.

    No error messages. It acts totally normal but just never reopens when I try to reopen a new catalog. I create a catalog for each of my clients....I have done this since I started using lightroom as it seems tidy to me. But, I have never had this problem until now. I am using a pc and vista and Lightroom 4. Thanks.

  • When I click on the pinned Firefox icon it only opens and closes one window rather than opening a new window.

    It used to be that every time I clicked on the pinned Firefox logo in the taskbar a new window would open. Now when I click the pinned logo it only opens and closes one window.

    hello, this seems to me like intended behaviour - all other open programs behave the same way, a click on the pinned icon minimizes them, another one brings them back to the foreground.
    you can open a new window by right-clicking on the firefox icon & selecting that option. the keyboard shortcut for it would be ctrl+n, or you can also [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|add a "open new window" button]] onto the firefox user interface.

  • Adobe Reader won't download and PDFs won't open

    All of a sudden I cannot open PDFs, so I have tried to download Adobe Reader XI and it gets to 78% then fails. It will not give me a reason for the failed installation, and when I try to open PDFs I get a message that says "Acrobat failed to load its core DLL." Now I cannot open PDFs, and I feel like I have tried everything to correct the problem - I tried on chrome, IE, and Firefox, I enabled JavaScript, I don't have virus scanners blocking it, and I am at a loss of what to do. Help!

    As for the failing download, try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Ibooks open and close immediatly on ipad, Ibooks open and close immediatly on ipad, Ibooks open and close immediatly on ipad

    All in the tittle
    Ni error message : it opens then immediatly close
    iPad

    Have you tried closing the iBooks app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    A third option is to delete the app and re-download it - in which case you may want to copy all your books/PDFs to your computer's iTunes first (File > Transfer Purchases).

  • HT5100 Itunes u just opens and closes immediately when I try to use it. It worked previously, and now it doesn't.  I tried uninstalling it and then installing it again and it still closes as soon as I open it. Other apps do not do this. What should I do?

    iTunes u closes as soon as I open it. What should I do?

    I would start with this FAQ Entry first, if you have not done so yet: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
    It starts with a checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then moves into tuning up one's system and OS (you have done a lot of that already), and then goes into troubleshooting tips. Note: those tips rather work up quickly in "degree of difficulty," and DO become quite technical, but things like the "Finding Clues" link will give some tools, that might prove useful, like the use of Windows' Event Viewer to track down issues.
    One of the first things to look at would be your video driver. I would go to the video card's/chip's mfgr's. Web site, and check for a later driver. Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. If there is not a newer video driver, or it will not install properly on your system, be sure to check with the HP Web site, as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and some other mfgrs. will re-package video drivers to suit their specific setup.
    One troubleshooting technique, that might prove useful (however, those deleted programs bother me a bit here), would be to create a System Restore Point for now (see Windows Help for doing this with your particular OS version). Then, boot to Safe Mode, and choose an older System Restore Point, from when things did work. This might take some trial-and-error, to get back far enough. Test. At the worst, you will only have lost a few minutes, as you have your new System Restore Point for now, to fall back on.
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Reader won't print in web browser when both Reader & Pro installed

    Several of our machines have Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 installed and they also had Reader 10.1.4 installed but when Reader got upgraded to version 11 now PDFs opened in web browsers will not print.   Seeing as it is fairly common for computers to have both Pro and Reader installed I do not understand why Adobe cannot account for their own products and conflicts.   I was hoping to avoid having to uninstall Reader 11 from the machines affected so I would appreciate if there is anything I can have the users do to remedy this?

    Gemini146...
    I've ran into many, many, many circumstances like these and if the uninstall from add/remove does not work, what I would recommend is for you to delete the directory c:\program files\adobe and c:\program files\common files\adobe
    Then try the installation of what ever version you want. The install should proceed.
    If not (which had always been rare for me) then the next step I would advise (since windows installer clean utility didn't work)... is to go into the registry
    (regedit) and click on Edit, find
    type in: adobe reader
    or        adobe
    and search the entire registry and delete each entry that it finds associated with Adobe Reader only
    Of course, you need to know how to differentiate between what's for Adobe Reader and what's for Adobe Acrobat (granted that you do have Acrobat installed)
    Is there risk involved with this method? Yes... but if you know your computer and know your way around the registry, you should be fine.
    Also, make a backup of your registry as well as create a Restore Point before doing all this. Just to be on the safe side.
    Then proceed with re-installing Adobe Reader and you should be ok.

  • Adobe reader keeps giving me an error message when trying to download.

    Adobe reader keeps giving me an erro message everytime I try and download something.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Grey Screen and Spinning Circle When Trying to open a PDF from a website

    I tried to view a pdf from a website and a little window popped up. At the time i thought it was to save the pdf but i guess it was in fact asking me to find the adobe acrobat program. I quit out of it and now keep getting the grey screen and spinning circle when i try to download the pdf. How do I get it so i can open pdfs if find on websites? thanks!

  • Adobe Reader does not appear as a choice when I click on a PDF in email

    When I open an email that has a PDF, then I click on the "Open With", Adobe Reader does not appear as a choice. I use an IPhone 4S.

    Is your phone updated to iOS6?
    When I press on the PDF icon at the bottom of an email message on the iPhone, I get a screen which shows "Open in Adobe Reader" along with icons of other readers I have installed which read PDF files.
