Can't install Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to Mac OS X 10.5.3

Downloading the .dmg file was no problem, nor mounting it; but there's a circle with a slash through it over the Adobe Reader Installer icon, and if I double click it I get the following message:
You can't open the application "Adobe Reader 8 Installer.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.
I am running OS X 10.5.3 on a PowerPC G5 Dual Processor. All other Adobe programs including Acrobat and CS3 work fine. And now my existing installation of Reader won't start; I just see an hourglass.

Correct diagnosis. When I went back and downloaded the PowerPC version, it worked fine. The Intel version works fine on my MacBook Pro, too!

  • Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Hello there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
    Thanks!

    I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier  version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

    Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

    Someone can help me?

    Hi,
    in the previous post I leave out that everything starts with the automatic update.
    The update of Adobe Acrobat didn't finalize and leave me a message like before I reported. Then I tried to uninstall AR 9 and the process still finalized with error but now, maybe I could solve the problem...I uninstall the program with Revo uninstaller and download the new release of Adobe Reader 10, that maybe do not use the registry key corrupted like the update of AR 9 did.
    So, I still have the problem in the registry probably but I could install Adobe Reader.
    I think I can leave the key in the registry without any problem, I hope it doesn't affect any program or application.
    Thank you anyway

  • Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    first thing to try is reset InDesign:
    delete the preference file located here:
    system > users > home folder > library > peferences > com.adobe.InDesign.plist
    then repair the hard drive:
    shut down the Mac
    restart - then press shift key immediately after the chime
    keep pressing shift untill the Apple logo appears
    let the Mac boot to the desktop - it will take longer to boot as it is repairing the hard drive
    when desktop appears, restart the Mac normally

  • Can't install Adobe Reader 11

    Once I have finished downloading the .exe file for Adobe Reader 11, an error message pops up saying the .exe file is not a vaild Win32 application. I am running Windows 7 64-bit. I uninstalled a version of Adobe Reader 10 because it was unable to open perfectly good .pdf files, saying the files were corrupted. Any ideas on how I can install Adobe Reader 11? It's difficult not having it!

    Some more information: I downloaded both the small setup.exe file and the full-size reader installation file (from the enterprise site) on a different computer. Using the setup.exe file, I was able to successfully install Adobe Reader 11 on the other computer. I copied both of these files to a flash drive and tried to install them on the laptop. Neither worked. When I double-click on the setup.exe file, nothing happens. When I double-click on the full-size file, I get an error message saying there was an error running scripts, and did I want to continue running scripts on the page. Once that screen disappears, the program is not installed and the installation file disappears from the flash drive. Does anyone out there have any idea what is going on?

  • How can I install Adobe Reader 10.1.0 Plugin for IE8?

    All the forum responses I've seen show going to manage add-ons in IE and to enable the plugin.  I do not have an Adobe Reader 10.1.0 plugin under any add-ons to enable.  I've even unistalled/reinstalled this Adobe Reader version with no success.  Due to other application dependencies I cannot upgrade to Reader 11, though I know the Plugin does appear when I install Reader 11.  How do I get the matching plugin for 10.1.0?  Without it we are having issues with PDFs not opening in the browser.  Thanks.

    Hi, thanks for the help:
    i)Adobe Reader 10.1.0.  OS is Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64bit v1.0.  We utilize IE8 32bit browser.
    ii)Due to other applications we currently cannot upgrade company wide yet, so 10.1 is not yet an option.  I did test locally and 10.1 did solve the issue, but that won't work for us at this time.  I need to find a way to add the plugin for 10.1.0 back to IE for employees.  It used to exist but something changed recently as PDFs stopped launching within IE window.  On all the support sites I see, people reference enabling the Reader 10.1 plugin within IE, so it must exist, I just need to understand how we can re-install it.

  • How can I install Adobe Reader on my F: drive (Windows XP)

    Assuming that you want to install the English version of Adobe Reader 9.3, download this installer
    http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi
    Run it, and once the installer is initialized, you will be presented with this panel
    Click 'Change Destination Folder...' and you can specify exactly where you want it to install.

  • Can't install Adobe Reader for Android on my Tablet

    Hi everyone,
    I purchased lately a Binatone HomeSurf Tablet running on Android. I wanted to install Adobe Reader on it. I downloaded it all right, but when I wanted to install it on the Tablet, I got the message "impossible to install Adobe Reader on this phone"
    Is there anything I can do to make Adobe Reader run on my tablet ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Eric, from Belgium...

    You are lucky you can download it. My problem with my C
    ruzMicro T301 Tablet PC running Android 2.2 is that
    Adobe's website doesn't appear to ackowledge my device at all. I cannot download apps from adobe's website, I have tried to download it to my computer then unpack it to my tablet via a USB hookup that was successfull however it wouldn't install and was missing the .apk file wich is needed to run the program. I have looked at several .pdf readers and found none that will install on my tablet including this one so i am wondering what the deal is? How hard is it to make a universal android .pdf reader?
