Adobe Reader XI won't open PDF Files

I had Adobe Reader 9 and when I tried to open a PDF file or just the program it would open for a few secopnds and then the window closes. The program doesn't stay open. I installed Adobe Reader XI but got the same results. The program window opens for a few seconds and then closes before the PDF file is open. What should I do to?

Go to: C/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
Look for a file named eula.exe (or just eula)
Double click it
Accept the license agreement
Run Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files

My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.

It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103).

Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet. When
I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle. We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8. We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
Hope this helps!

Adobe Reader X won't open pdfs in IE8

I've just updated my installation of Adobe Reader X to the latest version, 10.01. Now it won't open web hosted pdfs in Internet Explorer (the previous version did). When I try and open a pdf from a web host I'm told that the file can't be open with the default program (and suggests that the file might be corrupt); I'm only given the option to save the file. Once saved locally on my harddrive Reader X opens the file without complaint.
Any ideas how to solve this? I'm running Internet Explorer 64bit under Windows 7 Home Pro. 64bit and Internet Explorer 8. An interesting note is that the pdfs do open correctly in IE8 32bit.

I have exactly the same problem. Running win 7 64 and IE8 64. Everything was working perfect in version 9. I have tried to repair and looking for solutions too.
Does Adobe Support read this or?
Regards.

Adobe Reader 9 won't open some files -- jp2klib.dll

I've had this problem for some time, and I think I've at least narrowed it down a bit. The problem is that some (but not all) PDF files cannot be opened in Adobe Reader 9.x on some computers, though they open fine on others. When you click on a problem file, or try to open it from within AR 9, the file may begin to display, but very quickly you get Windows' message "Adobe Reader 9.2 has encountered a problem and needs to close." AR then crashes; or rather, Windows shuts it down. The crash report gives the following basic information:
AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 9.2.0.124 ModName: jp2klib.dll
ModVer: 2.0.0.4526 Offset: 00032c0d
I tried copying a different version of jp2klib.dll that was on my computer, but that did not help.
This problem only occurs on my desktop, not on the laptop, so it seems to be due to some interaction between jp2klib.dll and a specific driver or piece of hardware.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

There isn't any video acceleration. This is a pretty old computer. I've got a Samsung 912N flat-screen monitor, an HP DeskJet 6940 printer, an Epson Perfection 3170 scanner, an RCA cable modem, and a U.S. Robotics MAXg wireless router attached to it, as well as an ancient Compaq mouse and a Fellowes Glidepoint touchpad.

I just paid for 12 months to be able to open pdf files and I still cannot. How do I either get my money back or get this adobe reader to work to open pdf files?

i just paid for 12 months to be able to read pdf files and it is not working. how do i get my money back or get this problem fixed. i am so tired of trying to see pdf files.Adobe ExportPDF (read only)

I thought I ordered Adobe Reader. Had information from your company that I was charged $13.00 and some change, I think that was the amount, after I completed my credit card information. Can’t find it – guess it wasn’t an email. Anyway, I will order whatever I have to in order to be able to open the pdf files as I need to see them for my work with the government. What do I need to do? I need it today. And what is the cost for export pdf?

Adobe 9.2 won't open pdf file in Firefox 3.5.3.

No error message, just blank screen. Adobe plug-in is Enabled in Firefox, and Adobe Reader Internet preferences set to display pdf in browser. Adobe 9.2 does open in IE 8. I did not have any issues in Firefox until the Adobe upgrade, so I don't believe it is entirely a Firefox issue.

- Try checking the settings in Mozilla (Tools --> Options --> Applications --> Adobe Acrobat Document) and make sure it's set to " Use Adobe Acrobat (In FireFox)"
- You can also try setting to 'Use Adobe Acrobat 3.5.3' instead of Use Adobe Acrobat (In FireFox). This will open the PDF in the actual program instead of in the web browser. It will use a new window but this is a workaround if nothing else. We prefer this as it opens the in the full program with all features, not just the limited plugin. Since we edit alot of PDF's, we do not have to open them in the plugin, save them, then re-open in the real Adobe program.

Adobe Reader stops me from opening PDF files I want to read. I trashed Adobe Reader but I still can't get into some PDF's?

I can't understand when I try to open PDFs on a website, and even after trashing Adobe Reader, I am not allowed to read PDFs on web sites?

Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.

Just installed adnobe reader but still unable to open pdf files

What is your operating system?
What exactly means "unable"? Are these local or online documents? If online, in what browser?

Since the recent upgrade from Adobe pdf plug-inn Firefox often won't open pdf-files. Uninstalling doesn't help. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer.

Hi efacg,
Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.

Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

I have similar issue. Did u find an answer?

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
please help!

This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.

GIMP won't open PDF files anymore

I just reinstalled my system and noticed that GIMP won't open PDF files anymore. I remember being able to use GIMP to open PDFs and save them as high resolution images.... Am I missing something?

Make sure you have poppler-glib installed.
If you have imagemagick installed you might also want to try "convert my.pdf my.jpg". It will be done before gimp opens.
