After installing Adobe, I find I can't open pdf files and the program shuts down automatically.

Older versions of Adobe did not give me this trouble.  What's wrong?

What is your operating system?
What is your Reader version?

  • 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.

  • Can't open PDF files in the browser. I've tried every fix mentioned and it still doesn't work!!!

    I have Windows XP. Using firefox as my browser. Suddenly, I can't open PDF files in the browser. I've tried all the fixes mentioned. Nothing works!!! Checked the plugin settings, checked Adobe Reader settings.

    I already fixed it. I never exited out of Firefox before deleting the mime file. it works now.

  • I can't open pdf files.  The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

    I can't open pdf files. 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    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 (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, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • How can I open PDF files?  The usual procedures don't work for me.  Thanks.

    How can I open PDF files?  Until a couple of months ago, I had no problem.  Now I can open none of them.  I have Adobe Reader X.  Yesterday I uninstalled Adobe X, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled Adobe X.  No success.  Thanks.

    What happens if you open Reader first then use File>Open like Bernd suggested?
    Are you sure you are opening them in Reader and not a text editor or MS Word? I ask because Reader will not prompt you for a language.

  • Can not open PDF-files from the internet...

    Hi,
    I migrade my data to my new mac. But the old user xxx is now yyy. On the old imac I can download PDF-Files with the mozilla firefox. There was a copy from the pdf at the desktop!
    Now with the new mac mini and the new user, I get an error, because the firefox (safari too) can not oper the folder Users/xxx/Desktop....
    Where can I change this settings to yyy???
    Please help...
    Thanks!

    It sounds like you copied your firefox profile across from your other computer and just need to change the destination for downloaded files. Under Firefox->Preferences, look in the Main tab under downloads where it says "Save files to" and click "Choose" to change the destination directory. That ought to fix it.

  • Since upgrading to 3.6.15 and Adobe Reader X I can't open PDF files

    If I try and open a PDF file get message saying problem with Adobe reader, if it is running exit and try again. However it is not running. I then get a blank screen. If I close FF next time I try to open it a message says FF is already running and I have to reboot to clear the problem. This happens on both my desktop running XP and my laptop running Vista but only since I upgraded to 3.6.15. I upgraded Adobe to Ver X a week ago and it worked fine until the latest FF update.
    The problem doesn't happen in IE.

    The same as all other Mac apps. Which is to say:
    Open Finder.
    Look in the left column for Applications.
    Click to open.
    Find Adobe Reader. Open a folder if needed.
    Double click to launch Adobe Reader.

  • My iDVD Themes wont load and the program shuts down shortly after I choose a selection.

    It's acting like it doesnt know where to look for the themes but I have deleted everything and tried to reinstall three times and it still doesnt work. It's from iLife 09. iMovie works just find but again when I try to burn to iDVD it looks for themes and shuts down.

    Have you run Disk Utility to repair disk permissons after installing?  Check in the Library/Application Support folder to see if there's an iDVD folder with a Themes folder inside.  If not check in the ~/Library/Application Support folder.
    When you find them open iDVD, go to it's Advnaced preference pane and point iDVD to the location of the themes folder.

  • How can i open pdf files from the web without saving them

    Windows 7
    Firefox 5
    Adobe Reader 9
    when i want to see a web based pdf file i have to save it before opening it instead of it just opening in a pdf window.

    You can't.
    Those PDFs are only accessible on the Mac.
    They can not even be accessed by iOS.

  • Can't open PDF-Files with the 64Bit Photoshop-Version but with 32Bit Version

    Hello,
    our company use Photoshop in combination with PDF-Files. Normally we can open every of our PDFs with Photoshop.
    But now we have some PDFs that we can't open with the 64Bit version. If we try it the application crashes.
    But we are able to open the same files with the 32Bit version of Photoshop. We assume a bug in the 64Bit Version.
    Please contact me to get the a PDF-Sample-File because i am not allowed to append the file to a public space.
    Regards

    When my Itunes Match tries to update, it stalls every time on the third step "Uploading remaining songs and artwork".  If I don't cancel it, very shortly I get a message saying "Itunes has stopped working" and then Itunes shuts down completely.  Is there a fix for this?  I have the most recent version of Itunes.  HELP!

  • After install "4share" programme then I can't open Firefox 5

    after install "4share" programme then I can't open Firefox 5 and ha

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • I can't open PDF files even though I have downloaded Adobe Reader.  I am using a Mac book Pro

    I can't open PDF files as the screen message says I have to reopen the computer and sign the Adobe Reader agreement but even though Adobe has downloaded I don't get any screen message indicating where I would do this.
    Where is this?

    after downloading, did you install adobe reader?

    I have joined adobe photoshop but the program shut down after just one minute, why? I cannot use it!

    Without proper system information and other details nobody can tell you anything. If the program shuts down after a while then presumably it fails to verify your activation, so refer to this:
