Can't open any Adobe document, email attachment

Had Adcobe Reader for years, recently the X version, worked fine. A few days ago a message appeared that the program "has stopped operating" after a message "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way". I downloaded Reader XI, no change. I've reset the computer to its settings of Nov. 4 (when things were still working fine). No change. I badly nead the program, because I get things sent in pdf to which I have to respond as part of my job. Can anyone help?

What is your operating system?
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

    I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue? 

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

  • Unable to open any adobe document

    After the adobe security breach I cancelled my credit card and allowed my subscription to Adobe XI Pro to cancel.  Since then I have not been able to open ANY adobe document.  This means that I get stuck in a loop and the only thing I'm getting from Adobe is high blood pressure!!!
    Any chance someone out there can tell me what to do?

    Thanks Claudio,
    I have attempted to open adobe documents sent as attachments.  Once I click on them I am brought to an Adobe pop up which asks me to renew my subscription or manage my subscription.  Once I choose manage my subscription I am brought in to my Adobe account and see that the subscription has been cancelled.  I have found my way in to a 'loop' in which I can get no further. On one occassion I was given the option of clicking a link to allow me Chat to an Agent but there was no link.
    What other information do you need?
    regards

  • Using Adobe Reader, I cannot open any adobe documents, Message indicates missing plug-ins. Please help... Thank you

    Hey Joseph Curcio,
    You might be viewing the PDFs in your browser only where Adobe Reader plug-in is disabled.
    Please try opening the PDF file using Adobe Reader and then check.
    Let me know in which browser are you trying to view the PDFs so that I can help you out enabling the required plug-ins.
    Regards,

  • I can´t open any page document. Please help

    i can´t open any page document. Please help

    You do need to give more information. What version of Pages, what version of OS X, have you ever been able to open Pages documents, have you made any changes to your Mac? Please be specific with versions, don't just say "I have the latest." Our crystal balls don't work over the internet.

  • Help!..Pages now is a disaster, crashes and I can't open any important documents!

    Hello, I am writing from Italy...HELP!!!!
    I have this problem: I can't open three important documents because Pages crashes. I can't use Icloud (if these documents are not opened in Pages, Icloud does not download documents!!!).
    I worked on these documents for months and now it is a disaster.
    Please apple, new update is necessary.
    How I can solve this problem?
    I can't return to the previous version of Pages because it is impossible but this is the one solution that I have read in Internet.

    I haven't had this exact issue, so I can't tell you exactly how I fixed it, but I can give a couple of guesses that might help.
    Definitely, if you haven't, restart the ipad by pressing and holding the power button on the top of the ipad until it turns off by itself, then wait a minute, then restart it. This has solved a ton of different random iPad issues for me. I'm not sure why, but when I first learned this trick, it was hold down the button on the front at the same time as the power button. For some reason, with iOS 6, this seems to do some kind of quick restart that doesn't turn off the device in the same way.
    The only other thing, I can think of is to use a second iDevice to try to download the files. If you also have a second apple iPod touch, iphone or ipad, try to download the most recent version that has synced to that device. Then I'd export it via email so that I at least have a copy to work from, in case the issue with Pages doesn't get resolved.
    Good luck!

  • I can't open any pages document

    My associate hasn't executed an apple update in some time.  I typically do.  For over a month, he can't open any Pages doucment I send him. 
    Last night, I did an apple Update for pages that Apple had been requesting I do for about a month.  Now, I can't open any of my own pages documents in 4.3 or 5.0.1.  Documents I created yesterady I can't open.  I'm infuriated with Apple as every recommended update seems to trigger something else to not work as intended.  I'm constactly playing IT guy trying to simply keep thinks working as they're supposed to.  Can anyone help?  Thanks

    Since you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • Can't open PDF file as email attachment

    I have windows xp with adobe reader 8. When I try to open a pdf attachment file in my email it wants to go to my browser and won't open. Just get a warning messege. I want it to open in adobe reader. I can save it and then open it from my documents given on option when I right click. I do not get any options when I right click while it is still attached to the email. It started when I screwed up opening another pdf file in my email. An option box poped up with a chice between adobe or browser. I picked browser and then clicked the apply button. I have not been able to undo it. I can't find that option.

    I tried that.
    I saved the file 8pdk_96_4.pdf to my desktop and tried to open it using Adobe Reader but I get the same message: Adobe Reader could not open '8pdk_96_4.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

  • Can't open any pdf in email attachments.

    Can open pdf already saved to computer, but can't open from email.  Windows 7, Firefox 25.0.1, Adobe Reader 11.0.4, and Plugin 11.0.4.63.  Email is yahoo (at&t version).
    Edit: It is the yahoo/att.net email program as I can open the pdf in another email program.

    What exactly means "can't"?
    Also, are you receiving your email in the Firefox browser?  If so, note that Firefox uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136

  • Can not open any adobe products even pre installed ones on new samsung 15in  Ativ9 i5 2014

    I have been trying to install AI CC onto my new laptop with no success. I try to run as admin it won't work. I try and delete using Adobe Cleaner software and then re install and it still won't work. Then I tried to open the Adobe photoshop elements 11 that is pre installed on this lap top and that still won't work! I am thinking there is some wrong with my settings on windows 8. Any help would be much appreciated!

    first try, http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately-launch.html
    if that doesn't help:
        Un-install all cc including the desktop app
        run the cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
        Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and find SLCache and delete it.
        Go to: C:\ProgramData\Adobe and find SLStore and delete it.
        Restart.
        Install Adobe CC.

  • Can't open any PDF document

    Error message " Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and must close". No problem until  a few days ago. Upgraded from 10 to 11, uninstalled using acrobat  cleaner, reinstalled 11, used Kaspersky rootkit app. No results. Running XP
    Any suggestions?

    Please let me know the following details:
    1. The exact version of Adobe Reader on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader or getting the same information from the Add/Remove Programs section in the Conrol Panel. If its not the latest version of Reader i.e. 11.0.03, please download the same from: http://get.adobe.com/reader and see if it solves the issue.
    2. Does the issue also happen if you just launch the Reader application alone without launching any PDF.
    3. Are you using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader. If so, please remove the same and see if it solves your problem.
    In case you arent sure regarding the same, please follow the below steps and see if it helps:
         a. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
         b. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
         c. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
    4. Try temporarily disabling the Anitivirus software, and see if it solves your issue.

  • Can't open or save mp3 email attachment on Palm Pre

    My Palm Pre is running on webOS 1.4 and when I receive emails with mp3 attachments I can only download them (the name of the attachment changes to a download status bar). If I click on the downloaded attachment nothing happens. It works fine with jpgs or pdfs. Anyone out there with the same problem or even a fix for this?
    Thx in advance
    Toast

    Same thing happens to me - and I just performed a fresh reload of 1.4 last night to enable the ability to preview my ringers (a 1.4 upgrade bug).
