Adobe will not open documents

Hello, I cannot seem to open any documents, a dialog box keeps telling me that adobe is in procted mode, and it is in an unsupported configuration, can you help please.

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

    My MacBook Pro will not open documents via Adobe Reader. Says I need to aspen Reader in Browzer and accept terms and contitions first. Went through this 3 times and got through to "Finish", closed browser and then retried. No luck. What's going on?? Have no problem with same documents on iPhone and iPad

    After you finished installing did you launch Adobe Reader from your /Applications folder and accept EULA(End User License Agreement)?
    What is your Adobe Reader version?
    What browser are you using and browser version?
    Thank You.

  • My adobe will not open my jpeg pics

    My adobe will not open my jpeg pics

    We do not know what your Adobe is as our Adobe is a company, not a software program.
    If you are tryint open jpegs with Adobe Reader or Adobe Flash Player you are out of luck since they do not open files of that type. If you are trying to edit jpegs you need a program like Adobe Photoshop Elements. If you only want to view jpegs, they you can direct almost any web browser to the file for viewing. There are many free software programs for viewing and editing jpeg files.
    ImageJ - RSB Home Page
    ImageJ is provided the the U.S. Government's  National Institue of Health. It will open jpegs with no issue.

  • Office 2013 Will not open documents in a shared folder but 2007 will.

    Hi,
    Recently we are testing office 2013 and have noticed a problem. When office attempts to open an Excel or Word document that is stored on a shared drive on the file server it will not open it. When you double click on the document, either word or
    Excel, the appropriate Office app opens, but it opens on the start screen, i.e. the one with the templates displayed.
    There are no error messages displayed , and it appears that the office app opens twice, i.e you see the splash screen with the app name on it two times in quick succession, however you cannot find two instances of the app open.
    If you simply copy the document from the shared drive to the users desktop and then double click the file , the appropriate app opens and the file also opens without a problem.
    Also if you go to a client machine with office 2007 loaded on it then the document on the shared drive opens without a problem at all.
    The client machine with office 2013 is a Dell E7440 with windows 7 Pro 64bit.
    Thanks in advance

    I think its working now.
    Here is what I had to do.
    Delete Office from the machine once again, this time using the Microsoft tool to remove all remnants of the office software , then manually check the registry to see all the referenced keys had been removed.
    Reboot.
    Copy all the users data to another location on the same machine.
    Delete the users profile.
    Reboot.
    Reload office using the link Dell sent me.
    Reboot.
    Log in as a domain admin and check that office would open the documents on the file share and it did.
    Reboot.
    Log in as the user who’s profile I had deleted so that the profile was recreated.
    Attempt to open documents on the file share and it was successful.
    Move most of the users data back to the users folder so that his system looked the same as before.
    Reboot.
    Try again to use office applications and open documents from the file share and it continued to function correctly.
    Waited a day for the user to see how it went and it is still working now.
    I have no idea what could have been causing this problem or why doing what I did above fixed it.
    I hope the problem does not return.
    Now we can move on with more testing to see its suitability to our field service engineers, remote connections and connections to our customer systems will be checked next.

  • Newly updated Adobe will not open!

    I am running Windows XP professional 2002.  I have just updated to Adobe 9.3.  It now will not open and goes immediately to "Adobe 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
    Details say  Error Signature
                      AppName:  acrord32exe.
    Any suggestions?

    Ask in the Reader forum. You appear to be asking about Adobe Reader 9, not Adobe Acrobat 9. These are two different products and the problems differ between products.

  • Just purcashed more memory.  adobe will not open.

    just purchased memory   adobe is not opening.

    Your brevity is impressive.
    Please tell us a few more details, like operating system, how much memory you have (and how much did you have before), what error messages you are getting, do other programs work, and the exact sequence of steps you went through from purchasing memory (I assume you mean you installed the memory as well, but please tell us if that is what you mean) to the inability to open "adobe" (I assume you mean Photoshop Elements, but please tell us what you really mean)

  • Adobe reader will not open documents in the browser. What do I do?

    I do not know anything about technical jargon or anything about add-ons or plug-ins, I just know that typically if I open a PDF file from a website it opens just fine in the browser. However, I am unable to open PDFs inside of Adobe Reader. When I do, the error message reads as follows:
    "Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
    We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
    Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
    To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively. Please contact your browser vendor for more details."
    I have no idea how to fix this, as Adobe Reader is installed and I assume it is installed correctly? Please, any help would be fantastic.

    Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

  • Adobe will not open PDF files from other programs

    This is on one of the computers in our office.  We use a medical records program called Sevocity.  This program stores documents that we import into the electronic charts as PDF files.  When we upgraded that computer from Adobe to Adobe Pro, it no longer opened the PDF documents stored there.  Is this an issue with the medical program or with Adobe Pro?  We already had Sevocity Support attempt to fix the problem, but they said the issue looked like it was with Adobe.
    We would like to troubleshoot by re-installing AdobePro, but we want to make sure that none of our files stored to the Adobe Document Cloud.  If we re-install Adobe, will those documents still be available in the online Adobe account's Document Cloud, or do we need to move those documents to the collective Creative Cloud?

    Yeah, it does open from other sources like "My Documents", but sometimes it won't open the print previews in our billing system either.  Communication error with secure sites and programs, maybe?  I don't get an error message, though.  It just displays the "processing" symbol next to the mouse for a second or two like it does when PDF's usually open, and then nothing happens.  We are using Windows 7 on that computer.  The other computer that runs on Windows 7 also has Adobe Pro XI, but does not experience these problems.  I have also put in a ticket with Sevocity (the program that is not communicating with Adobe). 
    And that's a relief about the Document Cloud!  We will try to re-install just in case it was something that went wrong with the initial install.

  • Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

    I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
    trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
    latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
    with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
    but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

    Hi Victoria.
    1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
    free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
    2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
    yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
    3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
    Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
    4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Adobe will not open

    Orignally started with adobe X. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with adobe XI. Even removed all registry entries. Any idea's?

    Disabling Protected Mode did not work for me. I did NOT try auto-repairing (Control Panel >Add Remove Programs > Adobe Reader XI > Change > Repair).
    What worked for me was:
    - go to Task Manager
    - find all instances of "Acrobat Reader" (file name is AcroRd32.exe) and end all of these processes
    - find "Adobe Acrobat SpeedLauncher" (file name is reader_sl.exe) and end the process (note: skip this step and the issue will not disappear)
    - launch Acrobat Reader - it should open this time
    - accept EULA if it was not yet accepted
    Before I did the steps above:
    - Acrobat Reader was not starting when I was double-clicking on a PDF file
    - Acrobat Reader was not starting when I was trying to open it directly
    - A new instance of AcroRd32.exe process was appearing in the Task Manager every time I tried one of the above actions. This resulted in a couple of AcroRd32.exe processes running in parallel after some time. Killing all of these processes and trying to open Acrobat Reader again did not resolve the issue. The missing step was killing reader_sl.exe process.

  • Free reader will not open documents. instead I am asked to renew my subscription, which I don't need right now.

    How to direct free reader to open documents instead of being directed to a subscription renewal window

    Is it by any chance running a copy of Acrobat Pro instead, for which the subscription has lapsed? If so, start Adobe Reader instead, or uninstall Acrobat Pro.
