Can't Open PDF's with Reader 11

Just updated and downloaded Acrobat/Reader 11. Now when I try to open a PDF file, rather than opening it, my 'save' window opens as if I'm trying to save the file. Can't find any settings commands to change that. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi. Using XP and Firefox 17. They are usually PDF files from websites. For instance menus from restaurants websites or a google link to a PDF file. Never ran into this problem until I installed the new Acrobat/Reader version on Friday. If I go ahead and save the file to some location, I can then click on it there and it will open fine.

  • Can't open .pdf files with Reader 7.0.5

    Hi, just inherited a computer with XP. I tried to open a PFD file and it says application not supported even though I see that Reader 7.0.5 is installed...help!

    Are you sure that's the right error message?

  • 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.

  • Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working

    Cannot open PDF files with Reader XI message appears Adobe Reader has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working

    Which Operating system you are using?
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)] and then try to open the file.

  • Can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet?

    I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

    Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.

  • Can't open pdf file with iBook in mac

    It's great to see iBook in mavericks, but everytime i tried to open pdf in ibook, it always open in preview instead even its ibook shelf already, is there anyone out there having the same issue?

    Do you want al your PDF's to open in iBooks?
    Right click any PDF -> get info -> under "open with"  select iBooks"
    to open a pdf file with iBooks in OS X 10.9 so I know it can be done.
    Phil
    So tell me, when any of this PDF files is open, what app button is just next to Apple logo ? I did it your way and i still can see Preview, not iBooks.
    Like i said. You can store your PDF files in iBooks, just right next to the books which you have purchased from iBooks store. iBooks app can by used to manage your pdf files like iphoto is used to manage your photos. BUT to read this PDF OS X 10.9 will use Preview by default (unless you have other PDF Viewer set to open pdf by default).

    Hi
    I can't open a file with pdf.xml extension. Does anyone have this problem? How did you resolve it?

    Actually, the extension is just .xml. Anything before the period doesn't count as part of the extension.

  • Outlook2013 email message goes behind main Outlook window when opening PDF attachment with Reader 11

    Problem statement: Outlook 2013 email message goes behind main Outlook window when opening PDF attachment with Adobe Reader 11.0.3
    Environment: Windows 8 x64; Office 2013; Adobe Reader 11.0.3
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Open Outlook 2013
    2. Open email message with PDF attachment
    3. Open PDF attachment (with Adobe Reader as default PDF viewer)
    4. Close Adobe Reader
    Results: Original email message with PDF attacment now sits behind the main Outlook window
    Expected results: Original email message should be on top of main Outlook window as it was when opening the PDF attachment
    Note: Adobe Acrobat Profession performs as expected - the original email is on top of the main Outlook window - This only seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader.
    Has anyone else experience this problem?  If so, have you found a work-around?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    From: new window opens behind existing window - how to modify?
    I had this problem happening in Outlook.
    If I tried to open an email, it would open behind the main Outlook window.
    The same happened if I opened a link in the email - it would open behind the mail.
    The fix that was suggested to me was so simple that I still don't believe it.
    Right click on the task bar and unlock the taskbar, then lock it again.
    Close down Outlook and re-start it.
    Problem solved! Just dont know how  or why.

    It worked for me with Win 7 and OL 2003. Why? Who cares ... It is working.

  • Can't open PDF files with IE10.

    I cannot open PDF files with IE10. I had other issues, as well, with IE10 so I went back to IE9. Then it was suggested that not updating to the latest edition of IE could lead to security issues and sure enough my computer was hacked shortly thereafter. Now I am back with IE10. How do I change the registry to be able to open PDF files?

    Please try turning Enhanced Protected Mode OFF in IE10 and see if it makes a difference.   Navigate to Internet Options, select the Advanced Tab, scroll down to the Security section, and uncheck the box that says "Enable Enhanced Protected Mode".

    Then, I'd rather create an excel file...
    Please, all suggestions to solve that issue very quickly are welcome.

  • Can't open pdf created with Adobe Acrobat Pro

    I can't open a pdf (that was created with Adobe Acrobat Pro) using Reader 11. However, the file will open with an older version of Reader (10.1.4) on another workstation. Is there any way to resolve the problem?

    Reader 11 is not available for general release. If you participated in the beta program, there is a place for this discussion which you have been provided. If you did not participate in the beta program, then you should not yet have access to Reader 11. I have just checked the Adobe website and it is not available to download from there.

  • Have to click multiple times to open PDF files with Reader XI

    Having issues opening pdf files in Adobe Reader XI.  Many times I have to double click 3 or 4 times before the document will display on my screen.  This is even more of an issue when trying to open a pdf in a browser, and will often cause IE to crash.  Every time I try to open a pdf file there is a process that is started, so I end up with a stack of AcroRd32.exe processes running with nothing to show for it.  I tried re-installing Reader, removing Acrobat 8 Standard, etc with no success.  OS is Windows 7, SP1.  Any help out there?

    You can't have both Acrobat 8 and Reader XI installed at the same time. They're not compatible with one another. Acrobat XI and Reader XI is fine, though.
    Also, Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 7...

  • Can't open PDF documents with Adobe

    Every time I try to open up a PDF with Adobe the error message
    Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
    We've tried reinstalling and can't figure out what the problem is... Any ideas would be great!

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

  • Can't open PDF-Files with the 64Bit Photoshop-Version but with 32Bit Version

    Hello,
    our company use Photoshop in combination with PDF-Files. Normally we can open every of our PDFs with Photoshop.
    But now we have some PDFs that we can't open with the 64Bit version. If we try it the application crashes.
    But we are able to open the same files with the 32Bit version of Photoshop. We assume a bug in the 64Bit Version.
    Please contact me to get the a PDF-Sample-File because i am not allowed to append the file to a public space.
