Adobe Reader XI 11.0.03 Freezes After 3 Seconds!

I can't seem to open any PDF files, either in Firefox or from the program itself. I've already tried the recommended solution below and it didn't help at all. So how do I fix this?
Three things to try...
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)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Reader and Acrobat Pro freeze on my system for nearly 30 seconds after opening a PDF in either one. I chalk it up to the fact that it's a six year old PC with a 32 bit processor and only 2GB of RAM running Windows 7. After the freeze, I can view or edit PDFs just fine.
Does it eventually unfreeze or does it just "lock up" and stay that way?

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 freezes intermittently on Windows 8.1 when doing "Save As"

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07 freezes intermittently on Windows 8.1 when doing "Save As". This occurs when opening a file from Outlook or from the web. I have IE 11 and Microsoft Office 365 installed on a Toshiba Satellite P50. Windows and Office have the latest updates. There are no error messages. I can clear Adobe Reader with Task Manager. Opening the PDF again has the same result in that it may hang or work correctly when doing a “Save As” again. This occurs intermittently when charging the laptop or when on battery.

If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script

Adobe Reader keeps on crashing and freezing my computer

I have Adobe reader 9.4, the latest version, on my computer but even after numerous reinstalls the software continues to cause problems by freezing my computer. I've thought about other problems like viruses or bugs that could be and explanation but I have run scans on my computer which have come up with nothing. My computer does not have that much software running on it and I have checked for issues with those programs but have come up with nothing and still believe Adobe Reader Is the cause.Any advice? Thank You!

Uninstall Reader 9.4 and try the latest Adobe Reader X (10.0).
If you still have problems, please state your operating system and version.

In Adobe Reader (v11.0.09) locked/froze after signing and can't access my full fill-in answers to edit

In Adobe Reader (v11.0.09), after answer application questions in scrolling window panes within a .pdf doc, I signed the doc, and it froze/locked, so I cannot edit or view the full answers anymore. On an ugent deadline, so any thoughts on how to re-access my full answers within the scrolling window panes in a .pdf doc? thanks!

Hi Paix,
It is normal once you sign a document it considered to be a complete of yours. So no one shouldnt make any change after you signed the documents gets locked.
You can get idea from this doc: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-lock-form-fields-using-a-digital-signature

Adobe reader won't open on iPad after recent update

After most recent update, adobe reader won't open on my iPad. I have lots of docs that I need to get to. Please help.

This forum is probably the best you can do. We're now on the weekend, and Adobe engineers don't work 24/7. When they return on Monday and see the reports, they'll work to fix it. The update will need to be submitted to Apple and then approved for an update.
Note that there are other apps on the App Store which can read PDFs.

Adobe Reader 9.3 PDF's freeze/hang with IE 8 Browser and Vista: Solution Provided

I have been using Internet Explorer 8 well for some time but I am now having repeated difficulty with Adobe Reader 9.3 because PDF's continually freeze or hang up while I am in the browser -- forcing me to close the browser completely.
Incidentally, Resetting IE 8 to its Default settings did not help to prevent the browser from still freezing while trying to read PDF's.
The only way I solved this problem is to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3 completely, Restart the computer, and then install Adobe Reader 8.2.0 . Now, I have absolutely no difficulty with PDF's freezing or hanging up.
Adobe has simply to debug Reader 9.3 in order to make it more compatible with IE 8 and Vista.....

What I would try if I were in your situation
uninstall your current Adobe Reader;
reboot Windows to make sure that all components are removed;
download this installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installer.
If the problem reoccurs, and if no-one else in this forum has any better advice, then maybe you should try an alternate PDF reader such as Foxit Reader. (But make sure that you don't install the bundled toolbar!)

Adobe reader not open the file immediately after saving it with Microsoft Office

I have an older version Adobe Reader 9, and worked fine until today. I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06).
I have Window´s Office 2010 on my computer. When I save a document on *pdf file, Adobe starts automatically and open the document (Open file after publishing.) After the upgrade, documents are not open automatically and shows the next message: "There was an error during initialization. An internal error ocurrred." and "There was an error opening this document. Access denied.". But if I try manually, files are open. How do I fix this problem.

I'm having a similar issue. The .pdf files open fine locally, but when I put them up online, they will not open and I get the same error message. If I download and save the files, they show a 1KB file size instead of 168KB.
Drive space is not an issue (looking at over 225GB of free space on the main drive).
In searching on-line, the main cause I am finding is receiving the file via e-mail and a decoding issue. This is not the case with these files as they were created on my machine and uploaded using Filezilla to the server. I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0 on a windows box running Vista Ultimate.
Any ideas on what would be causing this issue?

Is Adobe Reader 10.1.3 still usable after install of Adobe XI ?

Good Evening:
                           This Evening , I downloaded Adobe Reader XI (122.00 MB).
                           I just finished using it to print copies of my bank statement, succesfully, after a week of trying to resolve a no print
                           problem of same. I still have Adobe Reader 10.1.3 (117.00 MB) but can't remove it from my list of active programs as it
                           blocks removal. Is it still usefull now that I have Adobe reader XI ?
                           Thank You for Your earl;y reply to my question,
                          Respectfully,      Reg Wilkins.

Hello Again:
                        I followed Your instructions to download and open Acrobat uninstall tool
                        and I reviewed the comprehensive removal information.
                        The removal info showed clearly that 10.1.3 was indeed removed.
                        However when I returned to Add & Remove Programs, to verify if the 10.1.3
                        reader was gone, I found it was still there. I tried to remove it but again the
                       "Patch cannot be opened" message popped up and I'm still plagued with
                        this 10.1.3 Reader which refuses to uninstall.
                        Is there another way this 10.1.3 Reader can be helped on it's way?
                        Respectfully, Reg. Wilkins

Adobe reader app takes longer to launch after update, why?

After updating my adobe reader I have found that when every I try to launch the app it takes a significantly longer time to load then it used to. Is this the problem with the app itself or is it because I have updated my ipad to the newer ios system, ios 7?
Thanks.

Android 4.4 (KitKat) introduced big changes to SD card support.
Android KitKat Blocks Some Access to Micro SD Cards
You can find many other articles regarding the SD card problem by searching on the internet.
We will be investigating the problem.
To work around the problem in the meantime, could you copy some of the PDF files from your SD card to internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/...) and see if Adobe Reader can read from and write changes to PDF files on your internal storage. (It should work based on my limited testing. But please verify it.)
You can use any Android File Manager app to move/copy files. Samsung phones and tablets typically has "My Files" as the built-in File Manager.
Alternatively, you can transfer the PDF files to Acrobat.com (free cloud storage service) and access them from Adobe Reader.
Please let us know if any of the suggested approaches work for you.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Adobe Reader X: Automatic update issue when after "FeatureLockDown set to disable Updater"

Need root cause and please suggest solution ?

Solved it!
1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold, it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
Hope this helps.

How can you disable Adobe Reader from opening a file right after you save it as a pdf?

Hi,
I often save word files as pdf files and right after I save them as pdfs it opens the file in adobe reader. How can I disable this?
Thanks

Ahh, but that's the design function of any PDF viewer add-on to a browser.
To avoid -- Use the browser feature that saves a file to the local machine.
Then open the file with the appropriate application.
If your machine/device does not support this then you'd want to change to one that supports what you want eh.
Be well...

My adobe reader 10.1.12 keeps freezing - running osx 10.9.5- help

Adobe Reader keeps freezing and I have to force the application to quit.

Went back to HP.com and this time was able to see and download latest driver and firmware for HP LaserJet P3005dn Installation of new firmware was done thru the HP Printer Utility application on my iMac OS 10.7.5
I was able to choose my printer and then upload the firmware file from the iMac to the printer. This has completely solved the problem!
Thank you ~graffiti Not sure why I was not able to access the driver and firmware earlier from the HP site but eventually I found it.

Adobe Reader 9 free goes grey screen after "I accept" 1st use

I am using Adobe Reader 9 free, and with previous installations never had a problem.
I am using XP Home SP2 on a dell D600
I installed Adobe Reader 9 today, and after I tried to use it the first time, I click on "I Accept" but then goes to a plain gray screen.
Please can you help me

I'm having the same issue.
I installed 9.2 because I wanted to be able to fill in a pdf form to print. Once I installed 9.2 I had the same problem as above and also I cannot even open a pdf from a web site.
Any ideas?

Adobe Reader 11.0.2 Installation freezes at package scripts

I have been having issues updating my adobe reader from 10.1.4 to 11.0.2
Each time automatic update tried to dowload it an error would say
the "app has been altered from the original installation", or something of that sort.
so I deleted Adobe Reader 10.1.4 hoping it would enable me to download and install
a fresh copy of 11.0.2
I have 2 users on my MacBook Pro using Lion 10.7.5
and have tried installing with both users logged in, one user logged in, then with only
the other user logged in. I have tried deleting the dmg file and redownloading using
a different browser (Firefox and Safari were the two used)
I deleted the dmg file from one user and tried installing it with the other, all with the
same end result:
Installation gets to a "less than a minute remaining" at the
installation of package scripts, and it locks up. The computer fan kicks into high gear
and the "minute remaining" starts to climb. I let it get to 1 hour and 25 minutes remaining
on one attempt, and force quit. I have had to force quit every time I attempt to install.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

I have since downloaded 10.1.4 again, it works, but I still gett an issue with updating as I did before.
Another thing I thought strange was that it was updating to 10.1.6
How do I fix this?
