Can Adobe Reader be installed from file

Hi,
Looking to install "Adobe Reader 9 / Windows XP SP2 - SP3"
Problem - my fixed pc is on a slow connection, my dial-up ISP disconnects after 2 hours, nothing I can do about it. (Unfortunately being distant from the phone exchange broadband is n/a).
Frustratingly the 33.5MB (excl Google toolbar) download cannot quite complete in 2 hours. Tried a few times, once only needed another 30 seconds!
Q. Can I install from file. If so I can download and "save to file" to a Vista laptop and copy the setup file to the WinXP pc. Two reasons for suspecting that's not possible are, the advice to "run" and not "save to file", and an active-x "set-up" control that appears to want to install into my IE (blocked by my AV).
If it is possible, must I allow the set-up control to install into IE on the Vista (I don't want to cause any problems on the Vista, already had other problems with Adobe Reader on that).
TIA

Thanks for that Penrath,
Normally I would have just gone ahead and tried. Your experience of exactly what I needed to do overcame my "once bitten" hesitation.
And now the feedback - got old of "AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe", ran the exe from file. With a quick look at one or two pdf's all seems fine!
Thanks again

  • I can't read a Object from file, Please help me

    i want to write a Object into File. this is code of Object
    class objStoreCus implements Comparable, Serializable
    String customerID = new String();
    String customerName = new String();
    String customerEmail = new String();
    objStoreCus(String cusID, String cusName, String cusEmail)
    customerID = cusID;
    customerName = cusName;
    customerEmail = cusEmail;
    objStoreCus(){}
    public int compareTo(Object o)
    objStoreCus oS = new objStoreCus();
    oS = (objStoreCus)o;
    return(customerEmail.compareTo(oS.customerEmail));
    private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream s) throws IOException {
    s.defaultWriteObject();
    private void readObject(ObjectInputStream s) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    try
    s.defaultReadObject();
    }catch(IOException ie){throw new IOException();}
    catch(ClassNotFoundException cnt){throw new ClassNotFoundException();}
    And I was wrote above Object into File by this code :+
    FileOutputStream fos;
    ObjectOutputStream oos;
    FileInputStream fis;
    ObjectInputStream ois;
    public void writeObjToFile(objStoreCus obj)
    try
    fos = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3", true);
    }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
    try
    oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
    //ghi doi tuong vao file
    oos.writeObject(obj);
    //dong stream
    oos.close();
    fos.close();
    }catch(IOException ie){}
    But i can't read above Object from file. allway have a Exception occur "StreamCorruptedException".
    this is code read Object form file :
    *parameter is ArrayList will be store Object from file.
    public void readObjFromFile(ArrayList al)
    try
    fis = new FileInputStream("Exrcise3.ex3");
    }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
    try
    ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
    while(true)
    try
    objStoreCus osc = new objStoreCus();
    osc = (objStoreCus)ois.readObject();
    System.out.println(osc.customerEmail);
    }catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    //System.out.println();
    break;
    ois.close();
    fis.close();
    }catch(IOException ie){}
    }

    Problem lies in
    os = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3", true);
    You are trying to append to that file, You should always use new file to serialize objects.
    os = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3");
    Try with above line.

  • Can Adobe read specific text from Excel and merge them together?

    I have a catalog in PDF format with thousands of part numbers.  I want to be able to click on each part number and be directed to a specific web page.  All web pages will be different.  I know how to do this ONE at a time but that would be too time consuming and not something my company would be willing to do.  I have an Excel spreadsheet with the part numbers listed in one column and the URL's in one and a column of them as hyperlinks already.  Is it possible for Adobe to match the part numbers from both files and merge them together? 
    Thanks!
    Amanda

    The part numbers will all be together but most have alot of dashes and some are very long.   Here are 3 examples.  Alot of them are this size, some much larger but they are all together on one line.
    CV-LED-W
    SDOP-LED-2M
    SIF-232
    Thanks,

  • Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?

    My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
    on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
    Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
    During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
    each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
    is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
    IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
    (0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
    Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
    CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
    The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
    anything at the moment.
    Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
    individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
    Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted? 
    Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
    What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
    files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
    The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:
    0x0409.ini                        5KB          Configuration Settings        2/18/2003

    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
    After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
    Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
    After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
    As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan.

  • Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

    Specs:
    iMac 10.8.5
    3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
    I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
    Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
    I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
    It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
    When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
    I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
    When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
    Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
    It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
    Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
    So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
    But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
    This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
    I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
    But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
    While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
    This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
    When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
    I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
    I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
    On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
    Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
    Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
    To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
    Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
    two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
    I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
    When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
    I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
    A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
    I deleted it immediately.
    Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username. 
    So I brought my mac back to the store.
    Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
    I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
    I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
    So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
    PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
    Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

  • Opening PDF Files in Adobe Reader XI directly from SharePoint 2013 Site

    I am trying to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI directly from a SharePoint 2013 document library using Internet Explorer 11. When I click the file name it immediately opens the file in Adobe Reader, however it is downloading and opening the file locally
    from the Temporary Internet Files location. If I add a comment to the PDF file, and save it will perform a Save As and the location will default to the temporary folder.
    If instead of clicking the file name, I click the ellipses in SharePoint, copy the file URL, and go to Adobe Reader, click File > Open and paste the link into the file name, Adobe Reader will correctly open the file directly from the SharePoint site and
    prompt for "Open and Checkout, Open, or Cancel".
    Is there a way to get it so that when I click the file in IE, I get the same functionality as a File > Open in Adobe Reader?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to open pdf file in the Adobe Reader directly from document library.
    I suggest you do as the followings:
    1. In SharePoint Central Administration site, click Application Management->Manage Web Applications, select the web application for the site. Click Authentication
    Providers, select default zone, and select Yes for "Enable Client Integration?".
    2. click Site Settings-> Site collection features->"Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" click Activate
    3. set the default open behavior for a document library by using the document library settings page.
    4. Enable the “Adobe Arcobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component”add-on in the IE11.
    5. Add your current site URL to the trusted web sites in IE11.
    There is a similar threads for your reference:

  • How do i install adobe reader without installing products from google.

    i dont like google, i dont like a bunch of worthless taskbars crowding my browser. so how do i install adobe reader without installing google products when you dont even give me the chance to say i dont want them?
    It is unethical to force onto people products of any nature that they do not want. i do not want google products so by your installation for adobe reader automatically installing google products without my consent is unethical.

    I don't understand the "forcing" part; the bundled software is clearly optional, and can be unchecked before the download.
    Or using the download link that Michael provided earlier (which is posted at least a dozen times every day in this forum).

  • How can we read some bytes from every line of the file

    How can we read some bytes from the every line of the file moving on to the next line
    without using the read line

    Actualiy readLine() takes more execution time
    for reading a part of line if we can do so without
    readLine() we can save some time...Well, if you knew, beforehand, the length of each line, you could use RandomAccessFile and its seek method, but, since you don't, you would have to read the rest of the line character-by-character, checking to see if it is a newline, in order to place the "cursor" at the beginning of the next line in order to read the next few characters you want.
    So, as you can see, you will need to read the entire line anyway (and if you do it yourself you also have to do the checking yourself considering all three possible end-of-line sequences), so you just as well use readLine().
    Some people may suggest Scanner and it's nextLine() method, but that also needs to read the rest of line (as evidenced by the fact that it returns it), so that is no different than the readLine() (or read it yourself) solution.

    Can Adobe Reader damage MacBook Air?

    Thanks, I have posted a couple of questions that I feel were a little dim and in fact one got a less than nice reply so I suppose I am a little embarresed to ask questions when I read the comments from you experts. But we all have to learn and I am sure you guys were less knowledgeable at the start. Hope for me yet !!!!
    I did enjoy your "milk" comment. A nurse spilled a cup of tea on my Air when I was in hospital and the "M" key stopped working. Kept using the computer then suddenly after about a month the key started to work again. Shows these Mac's are tough.
    Now that I feel a little more comfortable about asking, can you help with another issue I am having. When I try to download files from the internet they come in a file with everything in what looks to me like code. I therefore don't know how to install them. This is why I asked about Adobe Reader as I uninstalled it on Saturday and today have the download problem. Could A.R be the reason do you think?
    Sorry for the long reply and as my wife always says "I talk to much" There I go again
