An Adobe Reader Comparable Program

What program, comparable to Adobe Reader, can I download to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in order to read continuing ed material from a site that requites Adobe Reader in order to receive and read the material?

Moved to Adobe Reader for Android.
What is wrong with Reader for Andriod? I do not have a Andriod device, so I cannot make a recommendation. But a Google search results in quite a few choices.

Deleting an Adobe Reader 9 programs folder

I've run reader 9 for some time and the installation was originally created under WinXP. The installation was customised in that the programs folder was (for a variety of reasons) on a separate logical drive. There were a number of other programs folders on that drive.
I recently upgraded to Win 7 SP1, which destroyed the XP c:drive and active partition, and created a new one. It was stated by MS that this upgrade would require all the software I wanted to retain be re-installed. After the OS upgrade, I chose to do that by installing the reader 9 software in a new folder on the the same programs drive, having first taken the precaution of renaming the old folder (to Adobe Reader 9_old). The new installation went well, and it updated to reader 9.5.0 after the install was completed.
At this point, I proceeded to delete - or try to delete - the older programs folder, and the system consistently refused to allow it. A screen dump of the error message is included here. Nothing I attempted - remove the read-only marking on the folder, change the user security controls to full control, and run as administrator - allows the delation to occur. This did not happen when the folder name was changed. Note that this is the only folder in that programs drive that this occurs for. Because of Windows 7 features, some software I no longer need and I have deleted those program folders successfully.
Because of the way the Win7 upgrade and the re-install of Adobe reader 9 worked, this _old folder and its contents has no links to the operating system. It seems clear therefore that the original Adobe install has marked the folder in some way that OS is responding to when delete is requested, even in the various admin conditions outlined. The Adobe software is still on the PC, I just want to recover the 145Mb in this old folder. Can you suggest a folder deletion process that would work and achieve that end without re-loading the entire OS and starting again?

I assume it was placed on your desktop so it could be deleted by you. If they did it they way things are frequently done, it would be installed in your root directory where you would unlikely see and and stay there forever.

Windows Cannot Access Specific Device, Path or File While Using Adobe Reader XI, Version 11.0.06

Hello,
Recently, I have been experiencing a minor problem with the Adobe Reader XI Program loaded on my computer. When clicking the data fields on PDF versions of various forms to enter numerical or text information, a dialogue box with a small white X in a red circle on the left side of the title bar pops open and is titled:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe
There is another white X in a red circle symbol displayed in the message field of the dialogue box along with the following message:
Windows cannot access the specific device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
There is also an “OK” Button displayed on the right side of the lower margin of the dialogue box.
Although the dialogue box is repeatedly displayed whenever I click on a data field, the program still allows me to enter and save the numerical and text information that is entered in each data field.
My computer is a Hewlett-Packard Envy 23-d034 TouchSmart All-In-One Desktop Personal Computer with a Windows 8.1 Operating System that has all applicable Important and Recommended Windows Updates installed. The Adobe Reader XI Program is the latest version, Version 11.0.06, and I have confirmed that there are no updates for the program at this time.
Could you suggest any recommended actions to correct this problem with the Adobe Reader XI Program?

unfortunately no. i have a problem in my computer that doesn't let me do that.
this is th entire message though and it appears on the background of the program trying to load. all you can see is the frame of Rreader, and immediatly after that it shuts down

I can't open adobe reader, even after re-installing.

Everytime I try to open a pdf, i receive an error message saying 'Windows can not find 'C:XXXXXXX.pdf'. Make sure that you typed the name correctly, and then try again'.
Running Windows 7 Professional. Tried to install both v11 and v10 Adobe Reader - still no success. Tired opening files from C and D drive files with same result.
When trying to open up adobe reader from program files, i get the same error message. Something is blocking adobe reader from opening.

This may happen due to messed up registry settings.
Try uninstalling using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Reboot the system.
Reinstall latest version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

I have Adobe Reader 8, I was offered to download Adobe Reader 9

I had several documents on my Adobe Reader 8 Program, when I went to open a document, it was not there. There are several other files/documents that I had stored on Adobe Reader 8 which I can not access anymore. I am very confused, I don't know where my document went & why I can't open the other programs? The thing with the Adobe Reader 9 is that there is an end user license. I'm just not sure what all of that means. I would like to use the Adobe Reader 8 Program to download books to read, now I don't know how I could do that? Could anyone give me some advice? Thank-you. I do hope that I made this understandable.

Hello Angelica,
My question about not been able to open other programs arises from this remark in your opening message:
"I don't know where my document went & why I can't open the other programs?"
In any case, with the little information you give, I seem to understand that you can see icons of your missing files where they used to be, but you cannot open them with Reader. Could you describe exactly what happens if you double click on one of these files? And if I am not understanding you, please try to explain in detail what your problem really is...

Get rid of Adobe Reader FOREVER & still read all PDFs online?

I have this problem. I hate ADOBE ACROBAT READER. I install it when I have to, and more and more it seems that if I want to look at a PDF online, Preview doesn't get the chance because the Adobe Reader butts in and reports that it can't find an Adobe Reader compatible program.
Or that I must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to read the PDF and do I want to download Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Or something similar.
Is there any SIMPLE way to get rid of Adobe Acrobat Reader altogether once and for all, so that I never have to see it, or use it, or think about it again?
If there is, I would MUCH appreciate a HOW TO because it's making me ill.
PREVIEW is great for what I need, and if I could just get PREVIEW to take over all PDF duties, I'd be fine.
Alternatively, if there's another PDF reader/writer etc. for Mac, I'd pay real money for it if necessary.

It may be necessary to go to Adobe's website to find an uninstaller.
Preview should automatically take over the job.
I don't have Acrobat and have no problems so far.
I removed it about six months ago when it's major vulnerabilities to malware were pointed out.
Never follow links from pop-ups that say you need a new version of Acrobat, Flash or other software (video codecs are a favourite) as they stand a high chance of being re-directs to malware sites.
Always check the latest versions from your own bookmarks to the vendor sites.

Adobe Reader XI - Sticky Notes Inactive

I am using the Adobe Reader XI program. Every time I place a sticky note and save the pdf. and reopen the pdf, the sticky notes appear to be rotated and are inactive. Can someone help with this issue?

Can you please tell us following so that we can reproduce this at our end -
a) Make sure you have updated Reader patch applied on XI. It should be 11.0.6 and if it is not, please update it then re-try.
b) If you are already on 11.0.6, then is this problem started after updating to 11.0.6 or it was there earlier as well?
c) Does this happen with particular file only or in general with all files?
d) Can you please provide the snapshot of rotate and inactive sticky notes?
Thanks,
Vishal

Adobe Reader X Locking Up or Not Launching

Windows Vista® Home Premium with Service Pack 2 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Processor: Pentium Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00 GHz.
Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
System type: 32-bit Operating System
Over the past several months, Adobe Reader X has been locking up after openning a .pdf file. The file opens, fully visable as normal, but locks up - "Not Responding" - when I take any action (page down, try to print, etc.). I uninstalled and downloaded a number of times as the first fix attempt and encountered the following. (1) When selecting a .pdf file to open, the Adobe Reader title page opens, but then immediately locks up. (2) When selecting via the shortcut or Start Menu/All Programs/Adobe Reader, the program does not launch and the following error displays: Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server. I have enjoyed the use of Adobe Reader since 2007 and find this frustrating and disappointing. Please advise.

The latest download for Windows Vista is 10.1.4; update it using Help | Check for Updates, or download the update from Adobe - Adobe Reader : For Windows : Adobe Reader 10.1.9 update - All languages
To apply the registry script:
download protected10.zip and save it to disk (e.g. your Downloads folder)
using Windows Explorer, double-click on the downloaded file; it should open and reveal protected10.reg
double-click on the protected10.reg file to execute it

Not Responding Adobe Reader

Every time I open up a PDF file in Adobe Reader, the program goes into a "Not Responding" mode. I uninstalled the program and then re-installed it and I am still getting the same issue.... Any possible solutions?

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

and run it immediately after restarting your computer.
