    Assuming that you are in Win (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from 
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

  • Reader - can't open PDF's  says needs plug in

    I have the most updated Reader for a Windows PC running XP / IE8  . For some reason I can no longer open PDF files in Reader...occaisionally it will say it needs a plug in.  I tried removing Reader from Add/Remove and it won't let me do that, nor will it let me change it.  I tried doing another download, hoping it would overwrite the last one.....won't allow that either it says I already have the current version but it won't work  so what now.  Do I have to buy someones program to fix the supposedly free Reader???  Help if you can

    How does it "not let you" - do you get an error message?
    Try removing the corrupted Reader installation using http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Then download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and install it from scratch.

  • How can I open pdf attachments in email? Adobe reader used to do this, and does not.

    About 3 weeks ago, I suddenly could not open pdf attahments while reading my email. I now must down load them and save, in order to open them. Can someone help me to fix this? They open on my desk top, but not in Internet explorer. I would like to see them before down loading. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Enable the Adobe Reader plugin in browser : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
    Thanks

  • Many of our users can't open PDFs.  We have to select Reader as the Default PDF Handler once a day.

    What was once an infrequent problem, has become a chronic issue since some changes were made to Group Policy by an AD admin.  We've disabled all the GPs that pertain to Acrobat, but we're still having to log into users' workstations to remind Acrobat Reader that it is the Default PDF Handler (as found under Edit>Preferences>General.)
    As I mentioned above, this used to happen occassionally, and I'm not really sure why.  We use versions 9.5, X and XI, and all of them have exhibited this problem in the past and currently.  If we could find a network-wide solution to this issue (rather than having to log into scores of individual workstations every day), we would be really happy.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    We think we've found the answer.  Apparently, an admin from six years ago had created an ironically named batch file called "Adobe Fix.bat" which called a login script to put the following registry key on every computer:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 8.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""
    Since C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 8.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe doesn't exist on any computer anymore, no PDFs would load until you told Acrobat what software to use to open them.
    Removing this script should fix the problem.

  • My in-box shows 6 unread messages but I can't open them. They must be current. How do I open them?

    From 13.30 on 20/8/14 until 0930 on 21/08/14 I received 6 messages according to the " in box"
    which I cannot download. I know at least 2 are not spam. I have received emails satisfactorily since

    How big are those messages? Perhaps they are taking too long to download. If you have access to a web interface to those same messages, you may be able to preview/delete them or deal with them otherwise.
    You can add the size column by clickling on [http://i.imgur.com/s12dmeH.png the icon at the end of the columns heading, at the right].

  • I keep getting error message "must complete End User License Agreement"...can't open PDF's on my Mac

    I keep getting error message "must complete End User License Agreement"...can't open PDF's on my Mac

    First question: have you started the Adobe Reader App since you installed it?

  • I can't open pdf files.  The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

    I can't open pdf files. 

    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 by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash 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 — I don't have a complete list.
    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.

  • 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.

  • Since last update for iOS can't open PDF file in iPhone 5

    Since last update on PDF can't open PDF file on iOS.
    MSG says that PDF file I'm trying to open is not a valid PDF file but I can open
    It on iPad. Any explanations please ?

    If you can share this PDF with us at [email protected], we can take a look, and see if there's a bug in Reader for iOS that is preventing us from opening it.

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • I can't open PDF files even though I have downloaded Adobe Reader.  I am using a Mac book Pro

    I can't open PDF files as the screen message says I have to reopen the computer and sign the Adobe Reader agreement but even though Adobe has downloaded I don't get any screen message indicating where I would do this.
    Where is this?

    after downloading, did you install adobe reader?

  • 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.
