Adobe Reader XI "not responding" Windows 7.

Everytime I try to open a document with Adobe it freezes and gives me the "not responding" message.

Hi susansolomon
Please navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\ folder and double-clicked the Eula.exe. It displayed the End User License Agreement window and I clicked 'Accept'.
See if that works for you.

  • Adobe Reader Does Not Respond in Windows 8

    I need to do a simple edit of a pdf. I've been editing pdfs using nothing but the free Adobe reader for years. Now I got a new laptop - 64 bit Windows 8 and I installed the current reader. I need the Adobe reader for other programs I work with.  I have noticed that the adobe reader is slow to open and constantly says "not responding." I also cannot get it to respond so that I can fill in a form (i.e., a basic edit), which I could always do.  Please tell me how to fix this!

    I figured it out!  I have Adobe Reader XI on my desktop. I opened it up. I went to Edit/Preferences/Security (Enhanced) and disabled the "Protected Mode at startup." My Adobe pdfs now respond and I can edit them without issue.

    Do you have Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8? Or Adobe Reader XI for Windows desktop?

  • After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10 When I attpemt to use "Tools/File/File Save As" from IE 11 I get a "Adobe Reader is not Responding" and my browser is locked up.

    After completing my upgrade to Adobe Reader 11.0.10. when I attempt to save an online PDF to my local drive I receive a blank window where I would expect to see file directory structure to save to.
    No local directories are displayed for "Saving To", it is all blank.   When I try to Close (by clicking X)  the "File Save As" box a message pops up on top that says "Adobe Reader is not Responding"  It locks up all of my IE windows, not just the one with the PDF doc.
    I then need to go Task Manager and stop the IE task.  All my browser windows are then closed.
    That is the only way to recover from the "Adobe Reader is Not Responding" message.
    This was not happening in previous versions of Reader.
    Tolls/File/File Save As always worked properly.
    I have installed IE 11 (11.0.9600.17690)

  • Adobe reader XI not responding

    Like so many others, I have started to get a 'non responding' response when trying to use adobe reader. I have posted a new question as I have yet to find an answer on the myriad of forums that I have searched.
    I am using adobe reader XI.0.08 on Windows Vista 32 bit, and Chrome.
    The problem started when I was unable to print a document (the programme had worked fine previously although I had a similar problem with it a couple of years ago. This seemed to resolve spontaneously and I'm not sure why this is back). Any button I clicked resulted in non responding message. I searched forums and originally managed to get into the settings by opening the programme rather than a file, and I accepted the EULA, I changed the number of documents remembered to 1, I changed the security settings in protected mode as advised by others, I repaired the programme through my control panel, rebooted, did full systems scans etc, all to no avail!
    Unfortunately I can't work out how to use another reader when I get a pdf email attachment.  It will open but I cannot scroll / print, or open any menus without the file hanging and then returning non responding.
    This seems to be such a wide spread problem. Some people have found work around's but these have either not worked for me, or I cannot open a menu heading to try.
    Please advise me how to correct this, or please advise how I can use an alternative tool to open files. (you can probably tell I'm not 'super-tech'!  - I just want something reliable and basic that allows me to access information that others are sending me!)

    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself (e.g. from the Desktop icon)?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If that does not work, I suggest that you revert to an earlier version 10.1.12, as Reader XI is not supported on Windows Vista.  You'll need to uninstall Reader XI before reverting to Reader X.

  • Adobe Reader XI not responding to my pc ?

    I recently installed Adobe Reader Xi and chose not to have google chrome.  Ever since I went back to Google, my pc with Windows 7 keeps saying Adobe Reader not responding and I tried to install Adobe Reader again and it said it was already installed. Why will my computer no longer responde to Adobe Reader?

    Hi Top Cook,
    Please let me know the exact error message that comes up while launching Adobe Reader.
    Have you tried repairing Reader / Updating it to the latest patch and check?

  • Adobe reader does not respond

    Just updated to Adobe reader 11 and it hangs when opened.  Error says not responding.  Running Windows 7.  Have uninstalled and re-installed multiple times.

    There's a panel of tools on the right sside that needs to initialize on the first launch. Depending on your processor and RAM it maky take  a while. My old e-machine took nearly three minutes when I first launched Reader XI.  If it simply "locks up", then you need to remove ALL of it, using the Adobe Cleaner.
    Then download and reinstall using the offline installer.
    Reboot and before anything else is running, open Reader.
    Let it fully open and initialize the tools panel.
    Open a PDF, and click Tools, Comment or Sign to close the panel. Close the PDF and Close Reader.
    When you reopen it, the panel should stay closed and it will open fully immediately.

  • Help! Adobe Reader XI "Not Responding" in Win7

    Does anyone know how to fix my problem.  I am currently running Adobe Reader XI with Win 7.  It was working fine but something happened.  I don't think I installed any new updates but something must have happened automatically.
    I have uninstalle and reinstalled - no fix
    I have tested with various browsers - no fix
    I have updated adobe plug-in
    I have updated adobe flash
    I have updated adobe air
    I am at a loss of what to do - I get work email with pdf's and I can open but as soon as that happens Reader gives me a message "not responding."
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you, I was able to open Reader by itself and disabled Protected Mode, now
    it works.  I don't understand why but I am happy to be able to print docs from
    email again.
    Thanks! : )

  • Adobe reader XI not responding, multiple instances in the task manager is XI junk?

    Hey everyone!
    I need some help, I have about 175 computers that im working on and a hand full (more as the days go on) of them are having a problem with adobe reader XI.
    Here is what is happening.
    If im online pulling up a pdf from a finance company we use the pdf will begin to open (within the browser) and then you will get the blue loading bar
    and then it gets almost to the end (somewhere between 80% and 99%) and then it will just freeze up or just display a white page where the pdf should be. It is doing this across a bunch of sites not just one or two.
    The other thing i have noticed is that there are multiple instances (10 - 20) of the adobe reader xi in the task mananger if you close all them out some times it will start working some times it wont.
    Here is what i have done.
    1. removed adobe XI
    2 reset the browsers
    3 changed the settings with in reader XI
    4 used the removal tool
    5 tried a different browser
    Im runing out of options!
    HELP
    I have reader 11.0.10

    What is the operating system on these computers?  What browser are they using?

  • Adobe Reader X not responding  in Vista

    Hi, it seems that Adobe Reader is either taking too much time to load certain PDFs n (especially Secured PDFs) or crashes. Vista gives that Reader was closed due to Data Execution Prevention. I have not encountered this problem with Reader 9 before. It was way quicker.
    And is it possible to open the same page after closing a particular document in Reader X , which was possible with Adobe Reader 9.
    Thanks

    Thank you, I was able to open Reader by itself and disabled Protected Mode, now
    it works.  I don't understand why but I am happy to be able to print docs from
    email again.
    Thanks! : )

  • Adobe Reader XI not responding when trying to print a document

    I have Windows 7 home premium 64bit. I just upgraded to Adobe Reader XI because I was having similar issue with earlier version (I think it was 10.1.2). But the problem persists.
    I open the document and when click on Print, it becomes unresponsive. The Print windows doesn't pop up either. Then I have to force close the application.
    I have updated my printer driver. Tried other solutions described elsewhere like unchecking Enable Protected Mode at Startup; creating a share name of printer.
    Very frustrating.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe Reader will not set as default application for .pdf in windows 8.1 pro x64

    When I install adobe reader the icon/app changes from windows reader to Pick an app, I choose change and select adobe reader, the icons on my desktop flicker but nothing actually changes.Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, Select adobe reader, Choose defaults for this program, PDF is unticked so I tick it and choose save, go back in and it is unticked again??? Right click on a pdf file, choose open with, choose default program, use this app for all .pdf files is ticked, select adobe...Still nothing changes, stays on pick an app. I uninstall adobe reader then the pdf icon changes to and default opens with windows reader again. Reinstall adobe reader and back to the same thing. ???? I am a power user, build configure computers and subsequent software, started with DOS 6.0, learned unix/linux/networking concepts/networking security/server versions of windows/active directory. The only solution I could think of was to hack the registry which I looked for but could not find. I am running 8.1 pro x64, I just discovered that windows reader (which I cant uninstall) has the same problem when adobe reader is installed. Windows will not allow either one to be set as default while they co-exist.

    After an extended session with chat only to be told that since Adobe Reader was free they could not help me :-(... I figured it out myself.
    I opened a administrator: command prompt window and typed "regedit"  Through extensive searching and stumbled on this key located at... HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids  The S-1-5-21...1001... is my current logged on user, your value may differ slightly. Typically the builtin disabled administrator account is 1000 and when you install windows and create a user account "John Doe" it will have administrator priveleges and be auto numbered 1001, every user account created therafter will increase by 1 ie...1002, 1003, 1004 etc. even if you remove (delete) an account and re-create it you wont get the same number, the system will use the next number in sequence. The old one will have been trashed never to be used again. Again here is the key...
    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids I deleted this key under (default) on the right side...
    Name                                                                       Type                                           Data
    (Default)                                                                   REG_SZ                                    (value not set)
    AppX86746z2101ayy2ygv3g96e4eqdf8r99j            REG_NONE                              (zero-length binary value)  ---- This is the key to delete!!!
    Personally I selected computer on the left side and the went to file/export then chose a file name [01 29 2014 regbackup.reg] and location. Then I selected "OpenWithProgids" and did the same thing,[pdf.reg] this saves a backup of the entire regestry and the key you are about to delete as a safety net. When you are done all you have to do is go to a pdf file, right click and choose open with...Adobe Reader - the box always use this app should already be checked.
    I did this and it works yet because improper regestry modification can crash your system I am compelled to warn... Use at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable modifying your registry I would suggest consulting with someone qualified and has resources to do offline registry modifications/restorations which makes it VERY important to do the computer export registry backup.

  • Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why?

    Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why?

    Hi Michael,
    “AdbeRdr11003_en_US.exe” is the download installed on our CEO’s new Windows 8 laptop.  It is a Dell XPS Re: Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why? Dell XPS 13" .  It has a full install Windows 8 Professional for its’ Operating System.
    I’ll attempt to attach the file in question.  The file opens fine on our Windows 7, and XP computers (with  the proper Adobe Reader on each).
    Our CEO says there is a message that comes up saying he needs Adobe Flash.  I’m attempting to find out whether or not he is trying to open it the ‘Metro’ view, or the ‘Desktop’ view – no answer yet.
    If your system strips the attachment, let me know, and I’ll upload the file to an ftp site {if necessary}.

  • Adobe Reader does not print more than 5 pages Toshiba E-Studio 232 in Windows 7

    Adobe Reader does not print more than 5 pages Toshiba E-Studio 232 in Windows 7.
    I contacted Microsoft representatives said the problem is the Acrobat Reader once all other applications print without problems.
    Please help me!

    We have the same problem with our TOSHIBA e-STUDIO6540C. We've tried different versions of adobe reader, even acrobat and many times it will only print some pages of any given document. Did you find a solution? To me it sounds like a toshiba issue but just wondering.
