Adobe Reader XI freezing and not opening docs

I have downloaded Adobe Reader XI on my PC and now my docs won't open. It freezes in IE and I have to use task manager to end task.
No problems before XI version.  I uninstalled and reinstalled, same issues.
Thanks in advance!

Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

    Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

    Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

  • Issue with Adobe Reader XI Freezing when Printing/Opening Documents

    I've been having problems with Adobe Reader XI freezing when I attempt to print documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone back to previous versions. I've disabled protected mode. I've run Adobe reader without background programs running. I've done a disk clean-up, and deleted temporary files. All to no avail. Is there anyone who can help me solve this problem.

    There's no built-in function in Reader that does that, but it can be done using a script.

  • Windows 7 64-bit Adobe Reader 9.3 and IE8 - Opening PDF in tab and then closing said tab causes IE8

    I've been running Win7 64-bit for quite some time now and only up until a few weeksa go started to have problems with Adobe Reader continuing to ask me how I wanted to read a document and to click here to save the settings and not ask me again.  The check box never worked and it would continue to ask me constantly every time I opened up a new PDF file.
    I finally figured out how to get rid of the nagging dialog box but now each and every time I open up a new tab with a PDF file in it and then close the tab, IE8 crashes and tries to recover the tab.  This never happened before.
    What is causing this and how do I fix this?  Please advise.
    Upgraded to 9.3 this morning and problem remains.  Tried uninstalling all traces of Adobe Reader and reinstalling but still no dice.
    Problem also happens at home on a similar computer running Win 7 64-bit and running an older version of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

    Try this:
    Right click on the IE8 icon in the taskbar. A menu pops ups up. Right click again on "Internet Explorer". Then left click on "Run as administrator". I had a different problem with Reader and this solved the problem. The problem I had was I could not save pdf files in IE8. This solved that problem.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
    How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
    Help!

    Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
    8.
    When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
    In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
    So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader.

  • Adobe Reader 9.1 will not open in OSX 10.5.7

    Since loading the latest OSX 10.5.7 update I have not been able to open Adobe Reader. I have removed the version that I had (9.1) and downloaded a fresh copy but it makes no difference - Reader will not open at all. I have tried the reset - again it does not open. Any ideas?

    Try removing your cache. You can use Onyx or Applejack to do this.

  • Reader X freezing and not saving a Live Cycle Acroform

    Here is the story:
    We created an Acroform template using Live Cycle Designer ES2 and loaded it to our system. 
    Users go into our web-based system and add data to certain pages there. 
    We then use iText to generate a PDF that mapstheir data into our template. 
    Users then save this form locally, add notes to it, save it, and then email it back to us. 
    Some users are reporting that Adobe freezes when they save and they lose their notes.
    all users have adobe reader X
    the form is reader enabled
    this does not happen for everyone
    We have been trying to troubleshoot in real time but are having a hard time diagnosing the issue.  Any thoughts would be helpful. 
    I am also posting this in the reader forum.
    Thanks,
    Nicole
    Further clarification:
    so we don't actually generate the AcroForm from our code. The template is created (which is the form) and the fields that are created are in the template are AcroFields. So, in our code, we use iText's API to read those AcroFields so that we can put values into them. More specifically, we use the following classes to read those fields: com.itextpdf.text.pdf.AcroFields and com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfStamper and then during the generation, we write to these fields by calling the setField() method on the AcroFields object

    I did not see the reader forum when I was mapping this topic, but I will move it (create a new one?) there. Thx.
    I have Windows 7 Enterprise. I am not sure the other topic applies to me as it is referring to Premier Pro 2.0. I will continue in the Reader forums, though. Thanks again.

  • Adobe Reader XI freezes computer when opened from Excel hyperlink

    My computer has been frozen multiple times after opening a pdf from a hyperlink in Excel. Sometimes it randomly freezes after reading the document for a while and sometimes it freezes when I try to close the document. I have Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06, I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS, and Excel 2010. The mouse will still move sometimes once things freeze up but clicking doesn't work and alt+ctrl+del doesn't bring up task manager either, so I have to hard reboot. Anyone have a fix for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    The first thing I would try is to disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Mac-with Leopard-Adobe Reader 8.1 will not open previously scanned files

    Have a Intel Mac and use Leopard.
    When using Reader 7.1 previously scanned files (eg. recipes) always opened. Upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.1
    Now, on a number of them, the icon is black, and when I attempt to open them I get the
    following message..for say a scanned recipe..
    "Adobe Reader could not open "Won Ton Soup" because it is either not a supported file or
    because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and
    wasn't correctly decoded)."
    Tried latest version of Adobe Reader..no luck.
    Suggestions ? Thanks.

    >previously scanned files (eg. recipes) always opened.
    Were they actually PDF's?
    If not, it could be that you had Acrobat instead of Reader before.

    When I try to open an email attachment, it seems like it starts to open with the starting circle showing, but then nothing happens for a period of time, and then it opens 15 minutes lter.
    With an email coupon in pdf form, when I click on the coupon link in the email (not an attachment), it does not open at all and I get an error message: "There is a problem with Adobe/Acrobat Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again.(103:103)"
    Thanks for reply.

  • Adobe reader too slow and "not responding," why?

    I downloaded adobe reader XI (11.0.10) for my touchscreen laptop with Windows 8.1 but when reading PDFs it's scrolls too slow, gets stuck when highlighting or performing other commands, and then I normally get "not responding."
    It's really slowing down my productivity!
    Would appreciate your help please. Thanks

    Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If that does not resolve the problem, please tell us your operating system.

  • Adobe Reader nor Eula will not open

    I have serached through the threads, but there was no way that I could make Adobe Reader XI nor any other version work again on my computer (Windows 7 Home Premium SP1) I have tried changing the registry entry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\Privileged), reinstalling, trying to run directly the EULA.exe, but there is no way to make Adobe Reader working again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Adobe Reader 1.5LE will not open after Firmware Update

    Is anyone aware of a solution to this problem? I updated my N95 to the most recent version and found the Nokia Reader software to be unusable (the application itself will not even open). Is there a link from which the software may be downloaded and re-installed? A search of Google, Nokia and Adobe has proven fruitless. Any help would be much appreciated.

    i guess problem caused of a 3rd party application you installed to your phone. If it goes fine with hard reset you shall be carefull when you install new applications to your phone.
