Can't launch adobe reader

Since I've upgraded to Lion , Adobe reader will not launch so I'm unable to read PDF files . Help!!?

You may need to to Adobe's website and download an updated version. Or, you could read your PDF files with Preview which is part of OS X.

Can't launch Adobe Reader 11.0.06: 'An internal error occurred'

Today I purchased a highly recommended e-book ('Rally All Around') which is available by download. Double clicking on its file brought up a message that I needed a newer version of Adobe Reader, and linked me directly to 11.0.06 (Mac) on the Adobe site, which I downloaded and installed. Unfortunately, this application refuses to launch: irrespective of whether I try to launch it directly, from the Applications Folder, or by double clicking the new book, I receive the 'An internal error occurred' error message and the program shuts down. I have followed the advice provided in this forum for a previous version of Reader: I deleted all existing versions of the program, as well as the Adobe Folder in my Library, then attempted to reinstall. I've also used 'Get Info' to ensure I have the required read/write permissions on the application, and the Adobe Library Folder. Unfortunately now I have lost the ability to open any PDF file at all! I'm very unimpressed (to say the least!) that I have lost hours trying to troubleshoot this problem, as well as my money for the book and functionality on my machine! I am running Mac OS X 10.9.1 on an Intel Core i5. I'd be grateful for help, and advice, if you care to share. I'd like to count to 10 and try and fix this, before succumbing to the temptation to send a howler to the publisher.

I did eventually solve it, and I think it was using this advice I received on the Adobe Forums:
The error that you are facing might be due the reason that the user logged in doesn't have permissions to access the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Can you please try the following steps with the user account in which you are facing the error:
1. Remove the Adobe Reader from Applications directory by moving it to Trash.
2. Now delete the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Please note that this path is for the Library folder present inside the user directory that you are currently logged in.
3. Restart the machine.
4. Now re-install Adobe Reader XI.

Outlook 2010, Windows 7, 32 bit can't launch adobe reader

I have a client with the following problem:
In windows, double click of a PDF shows... Adobe Reader X (this is a good thing)
In outlook 2010, double click of a PDF "goes to that dark place" -- actually Windows Media Player. Which is useless. There is no setting I can find to change this. Reinstalling Adobe did not fix this. Many of the similar problems I've seen are specific to 64 bit -- this one is on 32 bit.
How can I get Outlook 2010 to launch Adobe when a pdf is double-clicked on a 32 bit windows 7 computer?
(Norton 360 is the antivirus, so it's not a McAffee issue).

Hi guys, thanks for your responses.
What is this vboxnetflt for? Which modules are the essential modules for virtualbox? What I mean is: do those nice features like mouse point integration, full screen supportment etc... rely on vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp?
What I have in my configuration file is:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp)
I think vboxnetadp is used for networkiing. and vboxnetflt sounds like network filtering stuff. Can someone please confirm me? I think the problem was the sequence of upgrading. Firstly it updated the kernel and then installed the new version of virtualbox. I think if it could install the new version of virtualbox first and then the kernel, it would go without any problem, just my opinion as I said.
Let's keep tracked on this. Maybe someone will find a solution before virtualbox developers :-)

Please help I can not launch Adobe Reader XI

My adobe reader suddenly stopped working yesterday.
I was running version 8 or 9 under windos 7 and it suddenly gave me a strange error message that the Core DLL failed to load. I have never seen this happen before. It's also asking me if I want to run protected mode off and I keep saying yes please help!!
thanks
Marc

I used version 9. Basically what happened was it decided to stop working. I uninstalled version 9 and installed 11 and it gives the same error message "Core DLL failed to load". Also tried running it in Non protected mode. also tried repairing both versions in the control panel. nothing's working! very strange considering up to a few days ago version 9 was wortking fine and has been for years
thanks any help is appreciated!

Can't view pdf; getting message to launch Adobe Reader and sign user agreement that I can't find.

I'm trying to view my son's 1098-T on his college's website, but keep getting the message "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."
When I launch Adobe Reader, I can't find a user agreement to accept. I have tried relaunching both Google Chrome and Adobe Reader several times to no avail. I've also redownloaded and tried to reinstall Adobe Reader, but it got a message it was already installed. I previously had problems getting the pdf to fill (the form was blank and didn't have my student's info), and reinstalled Adobe Reader before I realized I had to disable Google Chrome's pdf viewer, which I have since done.

Sorry. I have a Mac with OS X 10.9.5
I've since totally deleted Adobe Reader and reinstalled it but have the same problem anytime I try to view a PDF with Adobe Reader. The college website won't let me save the form, only view it. If I use another pdf viewer the form won't fill with my son's info; I think it has to be Adobe Reader for some reason

Launch Adobe Reader for Android via Intent in Read-Only mode

One issue I've bumped into recently with respect to launching Adobe Reader for Android via an ACTION_VIEW intent is that fillable forms can apparently always be filled and saved, thus modifying the original file. That may be wonderful in many applications, but I have a situation where I would really not like users to be able to make any changes to the document (i.e. filling in fields and saving) at the current time.
I am assuming that there is currently no Intent option to open a PDF in Adobe Reader in true read-only mode (preferably such that fillable fields wouldn't even be fillable).
For now, I'll probably just have to point to a copy of the file, but it would be more convenient to have a handful of properly-documented options for launching read-only via an Intent.

GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

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 (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, remove 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.
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 to view PDF documents because say you must launch adobe reader and accept the end user license

I have a question about to display the PDF documents, could you tell me how can I display it?, I have this message that say before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser

I've got the same issue and I want to use Preview to read pdfs on Safari. At some point I had Acrobat Reader installed, but deleted it and everything associated with it. However no matter what, I get: "Before launching pdf documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user license agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
This means I am forced to use Reader, when I don't want to. There seems no way to default to Preview to read pdfs on Safari, even after deleting Adobe Reader completely.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

With Reader closed, open your Applications folder, double click on the Adobe Reader icon, and follow the lead when Reader opens. Just in case, restart your computer when finished.

Cannot launched Adobe reader - either version 9.4 or 10

Hi,
I recieved the error message below when launched the adobe reader version 9.4 or version 10 (Reader X).
Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
I have been googgling for few weeks for the solutions but still doesn't worked. I have tried the following:
1) Repaired the installation
2) Installed the latest version
3) Installed to different path
4) Performed registry cleanup using various cleanup utilities and install again
5) Run as administrator
6) Set compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2
I am currently using Windows 7 Professional OS.
This has forced me to use other PDF reader instead of Adobe Reader! Hope anyone here can help to resolve this issue, thanks in advanced!
cheers

How do you launch Adobe Reader - from a shortcut, or by double-clicking on a PDF file?
Does C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe actually exist?
If launching from a shortcut, is the above path and program name in the shortcut* in single quotes ( ' ) or double quotes ( " )?
If from a PDF file, is the above path and program name in the file association** in single quotes ( ' ) or double quotes ( " )?
*) right-click on the shortcut | Properties. The path and program should be in the 'Shortcut' tab.
**) open Windows Explorer, Tools | Folder Options | tab File Types. Locate the PDF entry, select it and click 'Advanced'. On the panel that opens click 'Edit'; you should now see the path and program to open a PDF file. (This method is from an older Windows version and could be slightly different on Windows 7.)

Functionality missing - excel opening pdf file launches adobe reader

When i opened a PDF file in excel or word it used to launch adobe reader instead and show me the file. Yesterday i installed internet explorer 8 and now this functionality has disappeard.
Anybody knows how to get it back?

Hi and thanks for replying.
Well, there used to be something running on the background that opens pdf files in adobe, even if you tried opening them in office applications. And i dont know how it works but now it's gone.
Problem for me is not the opening thru another program itself, but the functionality being there and now being gone with the installation of internet explorer 8. Also, for some people, like my father, opening something thru adobe reader is very different then opening something thru excel.
I hope this helps and some1 can point me to the background process to see if i can update/implenent something in ie8.

How do I "Launch" Adobe Reader in order to accept the Terms and Conditions in order to view PDF documents? ....Somers

How do I "Launch" Adobe Reader in order to accept the Terms and Conditions in order to view PDF documents? ....Somers I'm using a MAC with up to date software.

Launching is just the normal word in Apple's word for "run an app". You can launch an app from the Applications folder, or in recent versions of Mac OS using the LaunchPad (rocket icon). You can't assume all your apps appear on the dock (bottom strip), it's only the ones Apple put there or you added.
