Adobe Reader XI-Not working on Windows 8

Adobe Reader XI has suddenly stopped working on my Windows 8 laptop. It has worked previously and I'm not sure what has changed. I have the most up to date version of Adobe Reader. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled the program. I have also used the adobe cleaner but nothing seems to be helping. Please help! I have lots of information from classes that are in pdf files. Thank you!!

Some 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)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

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.

After upgrading, Adobe reader is not working.

After upgrading to 10.10.2, Adobe reader is not working. It is asking for user agreement to be signed. I cannot find this again. I have uninstalled and re-installed but still does not appear. I have tried to contact Adobe with no luck. Can anyone help please?

Since you are running OS X 10.10.2, you do not have an iMac (PPC) so you have posted in the wrong forum. I have requested the Hosts to move your post to the correct forum where hopefully someone will see it and help you.

Adobe reader will not work with games

adobe reader will not work with games

That is correct. Adobe Reader is intended for viewing PDF files, not for playing games. Perhaps you are thinking of Adobe Flash Player?

Adobe bridge raw not working with windows vista in photoshop cc, why?

adobe bridge raw not working in photoshop cc, is there a fix?

Your sure your using photoshop cc on windows vista?
I was under the impression that photoshop cc would not even install on windows vista.
What version of camera raw do you have?
In photoshop under Help>About Plugin does it list Camera Raw and if so which version is it?
(click on the words Camera Raw to see the version)
Camera raw doesn't work if it's a camera raw file or some other file type such as jpeg or tif?
What camera are the camera raw files from?
Officially camera raw 8.3 is the latest version of camera raw that will work on windows vista.

Adobe Reader 10 not working with Mac OS 10.6.7 browser

After upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.7, Adobe Reader 10 will not download a pdf file properly from either Safari or Firefox. In either browser, the resulting page is totally blank. Downloading older versions of Adobe Reader has not resolved the issue. Outside of any connection with a browser, Adobe Reader 10 works flawlessly as a free standing program. Would be grateful for any assistance.

For everyone having the problem:
Highlight one of your .pdf documents. Hit Command + I on the keyboard for the "get info" window to open up.
Check to see what the "Open with" shows. If it is not Preview, choose Preview. You may have to click on the little lock in the bottom right corner first to unlock it and enter your admin password. When done, click the little lock to close it. Close the window. Restart computer. Try a .pdf now to see if it works.

Adobe Reader doesn't work after windows 7 update

Hello,
My Adobe Reader X was working fine, until one night where Windows 7 automatically updated, and after that Adobe Reader doesn't work anymore. It doesn't respond AT ALL when I click on it, and I cannot view PDF files anymore.
I uninstalled it, and re-installed it --- still doesn't work. I tried downloading version 9, but still it doesn't work.
I also tried to do system restore, but somehow it won't let me --- it says it failed to do so.
When I try to open PDF files in IE 10, it says "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader..." and an error code of 103:103.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!

You can try running cleaner on your machine
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
and then again install latest Reader from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Adobe reader still not working properly...

My problem is this: Adobe Reader opens up the main window, remains up for about 2-3 seconds, then closes. No error dialogue boxes, nothing. It doesn't matter if I open a .pdf file directly, or just run the Reader executable. I've reinstalled; I've uninstalled, cleaned up, and installed fresh; I've reverted all the way back to v10. ( I'm going to try 9.0 in the next 5 minutes ) The problem remains the same.
I'm running Win7 Home Premium.
The only change I've seen is when I run it in compatibility mode ( WinXP svc pack 2 ) is that it then asks if I want to disable protected mode. Which I do. Yet, I then run into the same problem. Damn thing just closes...
Running out of ideas. Anyone actually know how to fix this?
Thanks.
UPDATE: v 9.0 gives me the same problem...

I'm having sort of the same problem. Except that I get an error message saying something unknown has occurred and it's gonna close now. I've un-installed, re-installed, re-booted and it still will not open any pdf. Frustrating!

ADOBE READER XI not working with HPT1200 Plotter

Adobe reader does not work properly

My adobe reader doesn not open articles. All I get is a blank gray screen and a small circle where it looks like the file is trying to load. The reader use to open files with no problem and then it just didn't work correctly

Hi Jaadbrown
You have two options to solve the problem:
1.- Remenber that every Mac can read all PDF format file with your "Preview App".
2.- You can uninstall your adobe reader deleting the App from your Aplication folder and download for free on the Official Adobe site in this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=JZEFU
Good luck ... I hope it helps you!

Deploying Adobe reader plugin not working

Hi
I have an adobe reader plugin that works on my development machine. It displayes the toolbar in the "Extended" tab. I copied the .api file onto the plugins folder on another machine but the extended tab does not display. I also copied this onto the plugins folder just to test and this works.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some place where it(adobe reader) logs errors?.

One of the limitations of plug-ins (in many apps) is that they tend to have to be developed in the same language as the host. Otherwise the cost of converting linkages makes plug-in performance unacceptable; similar to the reason 32-bit apps have 32-bit plug-ins and 64-bit apps have 64-bit plug-ins. Acrobat is written in C/C++, hence so are plug-ins. If Acrobat was ever written in C# (unlikely while it is also on Mac), then no doubt all the plug-ins in existence would need to be rewritten in C#.
Personally, having developed many and very large Acrobat plug-ins, I don't see that C# would be an advantage. Of course what is popular and what is marketed to developers is not always what is the most practical.

Adobe Reader XI stopped working in Windows 7

I recently installed the aforementioned, and now cannot open and work with any files. Each time a file opens, I get the message that Adobe Reader has stopped working. Does anyone know why, or more importantly, what I can do about it?

I am having the same issue. Reader opens up and looks like it is about to run then it just stops and I get a message that says it has stopped working. I copied the error report. @patwillener I also tried to go into reader itself and it won't even open. I tried uninstalling the program and I installed a new version. Still nothing, I have ended up having to install 9.5 to get it to run on my computer now. I need help!
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: AcroRd32.exe

Adobe Reader XI not working for me (Windows 7)

I just installed adobe reader XI and now I can't open any PDF files. The application itself won't even start properly. The default window opens but then it completely shutsdown without any indication of why it did so. No error report or anything.

I found the solution to the program itself not opening properly on another thread on this site. See below:
I spoke to a colleague about what was happening, and he had me reinstall Adobe Reader XI and attempt to start it. I then navigated to the 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'. After doing that I was able to start the Reader without issue and it all seems to be working fine now.
The above worked for me and now Reader XI will open properly and stay open. Hope this helps someone else.

Help! Youcam, Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe Reader all not working in U310

Using a U310 ideapad with Windows 7 bought one year ago - warranty just expired of course!!
5 days ago I tried to pull up and excel spreadsheet from an e-mail and got an error message that there was not enough memory to do so.
Afterward, I tried to open word and it simply grayed out with a message box saying it was not working - it would try to fix the problem and then it just disappeared. The same thing continues to happen.
I tried to open a PDF with Adobe Reader and it, too, crashed. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, stopped it from coming up in protected mode and now it doesn't crash but I cannot edit any pdf with it and the tools box no longer works at all - a small circle spins in it for a couple of seconds, then fades to gray.
My youcam will not turn on at all - when I click on the youcam icon, the cursor spins for a couple of seconds,then returns to an arrow and the youcam doesn't come on.
So, after experiencing all these things, I figured I'd try the tried-and-true method of rebooting my laptop. When the laptop restarted, before allowing me to enter my password, the error message "verifyhost.exe - application error unable to start correctly Oxc000007b" came up. I x'd out of that, entered password, then 2 other errors came up "lenovoreg.exe" and SACpl.exe
After working on this for hours, I'm really at a loss as to what it could be. Does anyone have any idea? It's unbelievable to me that this has happened on a new laptop that basically just sits on my desk - I don't travel with it and don't do much more than email and word processing on it! I have no games and very little else even downloaded!

Download this, install, update and try to scan your hdd for malware.

Adobe Reader does not work-how to use adobe reader on Lion

I was trying to print an international label on eBay via Adobe Reader, and was very dissapointed and shocked that it does not work on Lion.
I was so happy that I figured out how to use adobe reader on Lion, and hope I can help anyone else who is frusterated too.
Step 1. Download Google Chrome
Step 2. Printe your international label, or whatever you need to do that uses Adobe Reader

Thanks Shelly! I too was having trouble and thought it was something wrong with my Mac. I still have a big though. When I try to print the saved pdf file, I get a pop-up that says "The document could not be printed. There are no selected pages to print" even though I am looking at the complete doc. It's there and in my print prompt "all pages" are selected to print. The way I got around this, is by emailing the pdf file to a gmail address and viewing the attachment via Google Docs. It loads perfectly and prints without a problem.
