Can't even open adobe reader - screen is gray

can;t even open adobe reader even though system says it is installed. can't open pdf files...very irritating

Could you inform us at least if you are in Mac or Win? Knowing the versions of your OS and Reader would also be useful. Do you get that gray screen as soon as you try to open Reader, or after it loads?

  • Why can't I open Adobe Reader even after I download and install it to my Mac OS X Intel 10.6.6?

    I've tried downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X for my Mac, but it won't open.
    The problem might be that the highest Adobe Reader available is for the Mac OS Intel 10.5.6 - 10.6.4.
    I really need this to work, because I need to download and install this properly before I can install the Oracle Information Rights Management (IRM) Desktop Download.
    I need this so I can unseal .spdf files and be able to read my ebook. I can't read it online, but I can download it straight from CengageBrain.

  • I can't open pdf files even though adobe reader is downloaded.

    I can't open pdf files even though adobe reader X1 is downloaded.

    May seem like an obvious question but, did you install it after you downloaded it?
    If so, how are you trying to open these files and what happens when you try?

  • Cannot open .pdfs via Outlook or Adobe Reader, can't open Adobe Reader, can't uninstall it!

    We have a new office desktop that will not open .pdfs or open Adobe Reader.  The version on the computer is 9.5.2.  When I try to install updates or install Adobe XI, the installation process stops before completion because it says Adobe 9.5 is currently being open.  But we can't open Adobe 9.5, and task manager does not even show the program as being open. 
    I have tried uninstalling the program, but have been unable for the same reason.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • E65 - Can't open Adobe Reader

    Hello,
    I was able to read pdf files since I got this phone. Unfortunately it has changed (other files like doc can be open with no problem). When I try to open Adobe Reader or any pdf file it crashes.
    I have installed DrJukka's Y-Task and started Crash Monitor. It shows (whatever it means):
    Exit category: USER
    Exit type: Panic
    Exit reason: 11
    I'd be grateful for suggestions what has caused this behavior and what to do to fix it.

    Same thing for me.
    As soon as I pick the icon or any other pdf file it goes to a grey screen (because of my theme) and then just goes back to the page I was on.
    It worked earlie today. My files are on a few kb's so thats not the issue.
    As gaszczakr said any help would be appreciated,
    PS sorry if I got you hopes up for a solution gaszczakr.

  • I can't open Adobe Reader X

    I reinstalled Reader, repaired through the control panel and downloaded the update as recommended. and I still can not even open Reader, let alone any files. I can't open files in a browser nor any saved files on my computer. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

    If you are running Windows, try the Acrobat/Reader Cleaner tool:

    Then re-install.

  • Can't open Adobe Reader XI

    I am unable to open Adobe Reader XI on my new PC with Windows 8. Everytime I open a file, it just hangs and says (Not Responding) and I am forced to close the file. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but the problem persists. When I open the folder, if I choose preview, the file shows up fully, but would not open the file in a proper way. It also works in Adobe Reader when I open a file on the internet that is saved in pdf format by the provider (like a company's annual report) and am able to switch to the Reader. The only time it fails to respond is when I try to open a file directly, either by doble-clicking on the file or by File-Open comman in Adobe.

    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)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

    OK, I did this and when I try to open Reader it pops a window up that says; Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access them.
    I am the only one on this PC and I am the admin.

  • Can't open Adobe Reader XI and reinstalled can't help.

    A user Win7 PC (Windows 7 Pro. x64) can't open Adobe Reader XI after turned off computer directly during windows udpate (Not finish update)
    The opened error message is:
    ===============================================================
    c:\Program Files (x86\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRD32.exe
    支援映像類型所需的子系統不存在
    (translate to english from google: Subsystems required to support the type of image does not exist)
    ===============================================================
    Have tried.
    1. Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI. Still have same open error when opened program.
    2. Used Adobe Reader Cleanup tools to clean up installed file and reinstalled Adobe Reader XI. Still have the same open error.
    3. Uninstalled and installed Adobe Reader 9. It can work normally.
    Now I let the user to use Adobe Reader 9 but need to solve for him. As some pdf files are needed by newer Adobe Reader version.
    Please help to fix.   Many thanks.

    I have a similar problem - just posted this today, 5th July 2014. I get a message that says windows cannot find c:\programme files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd 32.exe.  Tried several uninstall/reinstalls with special programmes to check that uninstall was complete. Oddly, a download trial of the full programme Adobe Pro works OK !  If an expert out there can sort this it would be much appreciated.

    Install it. Open it.
    If you could give us some more detail about what you've done, what you are doing and what exactly happens when you do it I might be able to give a better answer.
