Can't Open PDF 2nd time

I can't open a pdf the 2nd time I open the file. Works fine on other PC's with XP & 7, Adobe versions 9 through 11. But on this PC (XP) I can not open the file on any Adobe Reader version either from the desktop or the original CD it cam on. It will open fine the first time after I uninstall Adobe Reader then re-install it. On the 2nd attempt I get a message that the file is either damaged or a file type unsupported. it will still open fine on other computers. What am I missing? Is there some setting on this computer to change? Any suggestions? Thanks

Can you please let me know the following:
1. Which version of the Adobe Reader are you using. Please let me know the exact version by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader from within the Reader application.
2. How exactly are you opening the file on you system. Are you opening it by double clicking on the PDF or by navigating to File > Open and then selecting the file. Please try both ways and let me know if you see the same behavior.
3. Is the file present on your local disk or on a network location?
4. Are you trying to save the file post opening it in Adobe Reader?
5. Can you try saving the following file on to your system (under say C:\) and then try opening the same twice. Does it result in the same behavior.

I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
Windows:
Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
Mac:
Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.

Can Not Open PDF Attachments

I can not open PDF attachments from outlook 2010. I am running windows 8 and using Adobe version 11.0.2 If I save the file to desktop, then it will allow me to open it and print it.
Thanks in advance for yor help.
the error says it can not open the file because it is unsupported or corrupt.

If you can't open the attachment, have your client/ customer or whatever fix their defective copy of Outlook and send real mail attachments not TNEF encoded rubbish. They are spewing defective email every time they click send on a mail with an attachment.

Do you have, or have

Can't open pdf:s in My documents.

I have moved My documents to a secondary hdd to save space on c:. I have Win7 pro and i have changed under my userprofile were the directory My documents is.
The problem is that i can't open pdf-files on My documents with Adobe Reader. I only recieve a message, "There was a problem when this document was opened. Access is denied." (Translated from Swedish)
I can open the file without any problem if i move it to c:. I don't have any problems with any other type of documents.
Please help! I use the latest version of Adobe Reader and i have updated windows and drivers.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the screenshots and the information.Would it be possible for you to try the following at your end.
1. Create another folder under C:\ with some Latin Characters such as Ö or ä (as being used in the redirected path for My Documents etc.). Now place any PDF in this folder and try and access the same. Are you able to access it this time?
2. Redirect the My Documents folder to some other path which does not have any Latin character and see if the issue is still reproducible.

I can't open PDF's from websites!!!!

Please, I need help! So, I went to attesting.com and was having issues purchasing something from them, so I went to there technical requirements and uploaded their link for Adobe Acrobat Read X. I have a MAC version 10.9.4. It seemed everything was ok. Then I went to my school's website to print a form which is in PDF form and I get this ADOBE LOCKED THIS PDF. or something like that. It doesn't say it now. Now, when I try to open a PDF from a website it says BEFORE VIEWING PDF DOCUMENTS IN THIS BROWSER YOU MUST LAUNCHADOBE READER AND ACCEPT THE END USER AGREEMENT, THEN QUIT, AND RELAUNCH THE BROWSER. So, I've un-installed Adobe and reinstalled Adobe numerous times and I STILL CANNOT GET MY PDF's. I've NEVER had any issue before. Can anyone please help!?!?! I tried contacting Adobe and chatted with someone online and he said that he doesn't help support this issue since it's not something I've paid for. I'm so frustrated and mad! ugh! Any suggestions is much appreciated!

And I've also just realized I can't open PDF's at all. Tried exporting on of the PDF forms from my school website to my desktop and it won't open from my desktop either. It's saying it's empty.

I Can't Open PDF's from Finder or Mail on I-Mac

The only way I can open pdf's is from the File Open Menu inside of Adobe. Every time I try to open a document from any way other than from inside Adobe I get this message: "The document “RFI #12 Answer.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format." Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

I have the same problem. Or similar. A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work). Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use. I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files. Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway, as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can.
Any other suggestions? i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
Thanks

Can't open PDFs/uninstall program Adobe Reader (11.0.08) MUI

I can't open PDFs, can't uninstall program, I have Adobe Reader (11.0.08) MUI (I don't know what MUI is...), help! I have tried numerous times to uninstall and change the program. Every time I try to do this, a window comes up saying that files are open (Adobe Reader) and to either retry or close. I can do neither, so I'm unable to uninstall the program. I've never had anything like this happen to me. I scanned my computer for viruses, malware, etc. and nothing came up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I just try to download the software from the Adobe site and see what happens?
Thanks, Tracy

Assuming you are in Windows (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
And I think it is Multilanguage User Interface...

Can't Open PDFs Inside Firefox

I have installed the latest Adobe Reader 9 and want to open PDF documents inside of the Firefox browser on Vista. No matter what I do, I always get a popup window asking me if I want to download or open in Adobe Reader when I click on a pdf file. I have Firefox's tools - options - applications set to "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I have re-installed Adobe Reader and Firefox with the most recent versions. I have manually copied the plugin dll from its Adobe directory to the Firefox directory, over-writing the existing one in Firefox. I have deleted pluginreg.dat and let Firefox recreate it. None of this does anything for me. My IE, however, will open PDF files inline with Adobe Reader. Any ideas?

I have the same problem, after installing Adobe Reader Ver 9.4.0. Using FF Ver 3.6.12 and XP home edition. Prior to this last Adobe installation, I could always download PDF documents from the Internet. But now, when I try to download, I first get an all white page for a second or two and then the page goes all black and nothing happens after that. Have tried it many times, and always get the same result.
I can still open PDFs from those stored on my Hard Drive OK, but I can no longer open or download any PDF from the Internet.
Has to be a defect in the latest Adobe version. Is there any fix for this?
Thanks,
ASC

Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application "ACDSee Pro" can't be opened."

Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

Suddenly can't open PDF's

I am running Windows Vista and have never previously had a problem opening PDFs. I updated something from Adobe and now I can't open PDF's. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the old version, gone back to the new version, run repair and nothing changes. Every time I click on a PDF I get a message saying : "There is a problem with Adobe/Acrobat Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (1:1)"
Can anyone help?

1, Please post in the future in the Acrobat folder. This is the for Distiller Server forum.
2. There is nothing wrong with your copy of Distiller.
3. The content of your pdf file is that complicated. If you don't need the detail it is providing you can try rasterizing the pdf file.

Can't open pdf online.(internet stop working)

Can some please help.

I am using Chrome v 32.0.1700.76 m in 64 bit Windows 7 Professional SP1. I recently upgraded to Reader XI v 11.0.06. When I try to open an online PDF all I get is a blank grey screen.

Any help?

Can't open PDFs in Netscape with Ver. 7.

I had Reader ver 7 for some time. I am using Netscape ver 7. Awhile back I succumbed to the nag notices and downloaded and installed Reader ver 9. Ver 9 caused problems so I uninstalled it and did a system restore to recover ver 7. Now I can't open pdfs from within the Reader window in Netscape. At first Netscape wouldn't even open Reader but I was able to correct that. However, now it will open Reader in a separate window but locks up whenever I try to download a pdf. I have XP Sp3. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

Right or control click a PDF file you have saved on the hard drive then click: Get Ino
In the Get Info window you'll see: Open with

A Copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time

I have shut down my mac for half a dozen times in response to the warning -- A Copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time -- that comes up each time I attempt to launch the browser. I have tried out the solutions suggested for previous users (on the Mozilla Forum) who were experiencing similar issues, but I can't even see Firefox on my Mac's Activity Monitor. What's going on?
I started experiencing this problem out of the blue on a networked computer two days ago (on Tuesday December 6). I have been using computers on this network for more than a year and it's only now that I have started experiencing this problem. Furthermore, I have been a Firefox user for more than four years and never encountered this issue. It's frustrating considering I have come to rely on Firefox as my browser of choice.
Other than this background I don't know what else to tell you by way of details.

Hi Swarnava,
Thanks for your prompt response. Intriguingly, when I logged on to my Mac (it's on a university network) this morning and launched Firefox it opened without a problem. If the issue resurfaces, I will try out the solutions you posted. Judging from the experiences of users who successfully trouble-shot their issues, apparently, Madakkadam's solution would be most helpful.
All the best.
