Can't open adobe reader in safari on my Macbook

When I click on a link to open a pdf document while on the internet, a new tab opens in safari and begins to load but freezes up. The only way I've been able to view the document is to actually right click and download it onto my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe but the problem persists. The weird thing was before I downloaded adobe I was able to open up pdf documents on safari using "Preview" program that comes with my Mac. Now even when I've uninstalled adobe, I still can't get the page to load. See below for a visual. Another strange thing to note is this does not happen to all pdf documents I try to open in safari, occasionally I get lucky and am able to load them to completion and view online, but most of the time it does not load. I've googled, attempted adobe help menu, even call the apple store but nobody has been able to solve this issue. Please help, thank you!

I've moved your question to the Adobe Reader forum for desktop and laptop computers.

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

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.

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.

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.
I appreciate your help.

Can't open Adobe Reader in 10.5.7

I just discovered that I cannot download pdf files in Safari with OS 10.5.7. My old Adobe Reader 8 will not open at all. I found a patch 9.1.2, that supposedly would work, but it is a patch for 9.1.1, which is a patch for 9.0. When I downloaded 9.0, it would not open "in this architecture." I have Adobe Professional, but can't download the file from Safari in order to open it in that or in Preview, because Safari just keeps sending me straight to the Adobe site. This really seems like Catch-22. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

Thanks, you are completely right--I clicked on the PC choice by mistake. However, I now have Reader 9.1.2 all installed and it opens fine. But when I went back to the original website that was giving me trouble, and clicked on the little pdf file I wanted to download, Safari again sent me directly to the Adobe website. Is there someplace in Safari where I can tell it to use the Adobe Reader I already have installed? I looked in preferences, but didn't see a way to do that. Thanks so much for your help.

New Mac, new software, can't open .fdf - Reader and Safari 'flicker'

My brand-new Xeon tower with OS 10.6.4 is loaded with the latest software version of everything, and when I try to open an .fdf file (Dental Claim Form from my work benefits) Reader has a conniption, booting up Safari (no matter which browser I'm using) and then 'flickering' as Reader and Safari try to take the front window from each other. Safari is Version 5.0 and Reader is 9.3.3. I tried uninstalling the Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-In to see if I could force it to read as a Firefox plug-in, but it still boots up Safari and has a battle for front screen. Nothing is crashing though, I can click on the File menu and whichever app is front when I click gives me a menu I can Quit from. I just want to get an address to send a claim form to, not play software games!!!

Click on View at the top of the screen
In the pull down menu click on View Toolbar

Can't open Adobe Reader XI! May not have appropriate permissions?? Need help!

Here's the deal. I noticed I wasn't able to open up my PDF files like I used to (it would suddenly pop up a window asking if I wanted to open the file using another program on my computer or the web) so I figured that the latest update might've done something wrong. I double clicked on the shortcut Adobe Reader icon on my desktop and a small window (Explorer.EXE) came up reading, "The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions." I uninstatlled and then installed Adobe Reader XI three times yet everytime I click on the icon, it gives me the same message. Can anyone help me? I have Windows 7.

From an administrative account try to run the Acrobat and Adobe Reader cleaner tool: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then try re-installing with all virus protection turned off.

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/

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

Can't open Adobe Reader for Mac

Hello there! I have installed Adobe Reader but I can't open the program. I have a mackbook pro with OS X version 10.8.3

Can't open Adobe Reader XI (MSVCP100.dll) - Impossible d'ouvrir Adobe Reader XI (Erreur .dll).

Hi, i installed adobe reader xi, but i can't open it , i have a message error with this "MSVCP100.dll" and "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL", i'm in windows 7, tell me what to do to fix this problem, thanks.
Bonjour, j'ai installé adobe reader xi, mais impossible de l'ouvrir , j'ai un message d'erreur "MSVCP100.dll" qui me vient sur l'écran, merci de m'aider, cordialement.

I would suggest that you try reinstalling Adobe Reader; download and run the cleaner tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html then reinstall the latest Reader version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
This should fix the MSVCP100.dll error. If it does not, you should manually reinstall the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable
