Adobe Reader XI closes when opened and Windows message states a 'Patch' is missing?

Can anyone help. Prior to Adobe Reader XI I had no problems. When opening XI it asks me to close as there is a problem. Then I get a message from Windows (XP) stating that a 'Patch' is missing.

Adobe Reader X closes when I press any key in the keyboard.

Hello,
I have recently updated my windows from xp to 7 and installed the latest version of adobe reader. Then I encountered a problem, after some time using my PC, Adobe Reader would close whenever I touched any key in my keyboard, but not on my mouse, so I could only view pdf files by moving around using the mouse, and loss funcionalities like searching for a word in the document, or saving it with a different name. The only way to solve this problem was to restart my PC, and then everything would be allright for a while, then the problem happened again. I uninstalled and installed Adobe again, however this problem persists, so I'm seeking help here.
There is another thread with the same problem here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/901383, however it's dead and no solution is presented.
Any help would be great, regards from Chle.

I answer myself, solution is here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3806894#3806894, it took me a while to find it though.

Adobe reader X, internet exporer 9 and windows 7.

I have installed Adobe reader X, internet explorer 9 an windows 7 on my computer.
I want to view a pdf file from the net and I get a message "Cannot find adobe Reader".
What can be done to fix this?
I have tried re-installing, look for plug-ins, searched web for answers, set preferneces etc etc.
It doesn't work.
Does someone have any correct answers?

Reader X came out before Explorer 9. Try downloading the pdf via right clicking, then opening in Reader directly. This should work until Adobe addresses any issues with IE9.

Adobe reader XI closes when I open MS Word 2013

what can I do?

Hi Sir.olly,
There is any such link between MS office and Adobe Reader.
You may still try launch Adobe Reader, make sure all the other application including browsers are closed. Go to help menu --> click on Repair Adobe Reader installation.
If that doesn't resolve the issue try uninstall Adobe Reader using cleaner Tool : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html . Re install Reader, update and check again.

Can't Get Adobe Reader 8.1 to Open in Windows XP

All of a sudden, I can't get Adobe Reader to open in the Windows XP environment on my laptop. Message: "Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close..." [Error Signature: AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: mvcr70.dl ModVer: 7.0.9466.0 Offset: 000013d6] Have tried everything I could think of: uninstalling previous versions, reinstalling 8.1 from the website, disabling Norton 360 protection while downloading. Anybody know what gives and how to fix it?

>When this many people are having this many problems with the program, Adobe has a problem.
For every one person that's having a problem here, there could be fifty more that aren't.
The ones that aren't typically don't come here and talk about it.
>If you read through the Adobe Bulletin Boards you can see that there are many, many people having trouble with Adobe Reader 8.1.
And if you read far enough to see the solutions, you'll notice a big trend in user errors.
I'm not saying Reader doesn't have it's issues (sure it does), just saying that there are no more issues with it than there are with any application.

No option in adobe reader 9.2 when opening a pdf file to "save as" a tiff file

Hi, I want to save a pdf file as a tiff file. I have Adobe Reader 9.2 and windows xp. In the Adobe website, it says I can export or convert a pdf file into different formats. However, when opening an existing pdf file, there isn't an option to export or "save as" in the Tools menu or in the Preferences under Edit. The reason I want to save a pdf file into a tiff file format is because when I use the program Microsoft Office Document Imaging to open a tiff file, it allows me the option to move selected pages & save it as a new file. In a pdf file, I have to save all the pages as one file & I don't necessarily want all the pages. My only other option is to print the selected pages I want from the adobe file document and then scan it into a tiff file but I would hate to use paper just for that purpose.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

You can use a tiff printer driver:

Adobe Reader XI freezes when saving in Windows 8.1

I'm trying to update the editable fields in the US Federal tax forms using Adobe Reader XI on Windows 8.1 (PC - not a tablet). I'm up-to-date on all Windows softward and Adobe Reader software.
I could save the original file downloaded from the irs.gov site with field edits, but after I saved the file locally, then reopened to edit again, it hangs every time I try to save the new edits. I saw something like this happening last year for Windows RT...could this be a similar issue?
Is there any solution?
Thanks,
DJ

I have no idea what this means; maybe you need to stop indexing? Also try the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

When I try to open a download PDF I get message to install Adobe Reader. I do it and get the same message already installed. I close Safari and reopen but get same message to install Adobe

You don't provide any details, but from the sound of it you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that does not use the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

The new version of firefox does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

Firefox automatically loaded a new version recently. The new version does not shut down when I close the browser it continues running in the background. In addition it opens Adobe Reader for a brief time and then that closes. Everything worked fine before this new version.

I have multiple iPhoto libraries and when I selecting which library to view (hold down 'option' key and launch iPhoto from the dock) it automatically closes another open apps window eg. Chome, Word. 1 app closes every time I launch iPhoto this way.

I have multiple iPhoto libraries on my Macbook Air 10.7.5 and when I am selecting which library to view (hold down 'option' key and launch iPhoto from the dock) it automatically closes another open application window eg. Chome, Word. 1 app closes every time I launch iPhoto this way.

If you're pushing Option at the exact moment you're clicking the Dock icon, it's supposed to do that. Wait until just after clicking it.

Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close.

When reading PDF attachments, I get the following: Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried to remove Adobe Reader via Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs but that won't work. I get this: This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package. I don't know how to do what is being asked. I have tried to download Adobe Reader again but get this when I do: Note: this application already installed.
I have Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) with an update installed on 2/19/2011. I have Windows XP SP3.
Anyone who can help me get Adobe Reader working correctly again or uninstalling it so I can reinstall.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the input. Did you remove Adobe Reader 10 first before you downloaded the older version? If you removed it, how did you do that? The add/remove programs in control panel won't let me remove it -- it says a patch package can't be opened.

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

Installation and Launch - Adobe Reader XI on Mac - No program window.

I've installed and re-installed Adobe Reader XI on my computer, and ensured that it was the Mac client each time, however upon launching the application from my applications folder, it starts the program, but the program does nothing. It appears active in my task bar, but it has no windows, and whenever I go to check; Adobe Reader, File, Edit, View, Window, & Help. All actions are greyed out and I'm left unable to do anything. I've been unable to come across reports of similar problems, and I do meet the system requirements in order for the application to function.
What do I do?

What happens when you attempt to open a PDF file in Adobe Reader like the PDF file in your Downloads folder named "About Downloads.pdf"? Just drag it on top of Adobe Reader and see what happens.

Adobe Reader X freezes when I try to open recent files

When I try to open recent files, Adobe Reader X will freeze up and will stay that way until I restart the computer. Even logging off won't work. I recently left it alone for around 5-10 minutes and Windows finally did end up stopping the process, but this is not normal. Any ideas for a fix?

Nope. That didn't do it. It won't even let me end the process AcroRd32.exe. I confirmed that after around 10 minutes, it finally closed on it's own. I just also confirmed that it's a problem with accessing files on my network, not local files. The odd thing is that I can use the Open tool, go the folder and open that file fine, but when I try to open the same file under the recent files, it freezes up. This may have to do with the fact that this is a mapped network drive. Any fix would be appreciated. Thanks.
