Can't read pdf's after trojan attack

Hey everyone. I recently had a crippling trojan attack on my computer. I though i was going to have to reformat until i replaced my registry files. That worked, i also spent many days with the help of a spyware website forum to cleanse my computer back to health. It's clean and running good now. But there were a few changes in a couple things. One of which is my Adobe reader will not open pdf's. It just shows a red X in the corner. I tried reinstalling Adobe Reader 9 but was told it was on a resource that was unavailable. I'm sure the trojan just got rid of a few important files and i just need to figure out which ones, or reinstall the whole thing, but it wont let me do that either. What should i do? THX, Jerry.

This OS is only 3 months old. I have been doing that quite a bit last couple years. I only have most everything backed up on cd's right now. It's time consuming. I would rather not reinstall, but if i have to i will.

  • Can't print pdf files after upgrading to Adobe Reader XI

    Hi,
    I can't print pdf files after recently upgrading to Adobe Reader XI.
    Two error messages appear:
    1.- Error when starting the application because it couldn't find LXBBGF.DLL. Re-installing the application can solve the problem.
    2.- Can not load "LXBBPRP.DLL". Using defaults. Error: 126
    I can print other files (word, etc) with the same printer.
    Thank you for your advice

    Hi Pat,
    Finally I followed the instructions from another similar discussion on this web site. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore...
    I first uninstalled the Adobe Reader XI and then intalled an older version (Adobe Reader X). Now I can print pdf files!!
    Thank you anyway for your advice!

  • 2 medical softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install but IExplorer succeded

    Hello,
    We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
    Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
    At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
    We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
    Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
    Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
    Thanks

    I am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
    Sorry I was not precise...
    When the file should open,
    for one application an error is happening,
    for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
    I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening  in adobe reader window...
    If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
    But something seems not finish for the medical softwares...

  • How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

    How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
    I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document.  When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
    It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
    The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
    Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
    This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

    hi there
    try the vi
    ..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
    it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)
    Best regards

  • Adobe 8.1.2 crashes PDF; Can't read PDF anymore Mac OS 10.4.11 PPC

    Ever since Adobe 7 and Mac OS 10.4.9 I've been updating/installing and still crashes on PDF reads from within Browsers or Adobe itself.
    I have an iMac 800 17" (Mac OS 10.4.11 with OS 9.2 PPC) recently maxed RAM 1Gb has backup eDrive by TechTool Pro.
    -still...
    Adobe 8.1.2 crashes PDF; Can't read PDF anymore, I usually Google and just "read in HTML" but then can't see pictures.
    I've tried removing Adobe 7 preferences from all drives. (move to trash->delete) Acrobat 5 is on the OS 9.2 partition.
    I'm not big with the Unix shell commands on Mac OS X, so don't know specific typey things ;-)
    Any ideas???

    And it doesn't even work well with forms. Only allows the first page of a form to be filled out.
    I reported the problem as a bug, and the designer say its an apple problem. Its not. where area set up to be filled out on pages other than first page, there is an indication it is a fill-out area (Grayed out when clicked on) it does not allow for forms to be filled out. So its not worth the effort to even test.

  • I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

    I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

    As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
    Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
    Thank you.

  • E61 using Blackberry connect can't read PDF email ...

    Hi, I've a E61 that has Adobe 1.5 installed. I can easily read complex PDF files yet I can't read PDF email attachments that have been sent through Blackberry connect push email service. I need to get wireless faxes and have tried both efax and Myfax and can't read either. I get a blank page with ...page break... in the centre top. Strange thing is I can partially view the pdf document using the print preview and the zoom key. Any ideas?

    I have nothing to base the following on except experience...
    The application on the BlackBerry that handles attachments is the BlackBerry Attachment Service.  This service communicates through your email's data connection, and doesn't necessarily display the actual contents of the attachment.  In the case of a PDF file, the file is actually converted into a graphic and then sent to your device more like a JPEG rather than the actual document.  You can view it, but it's an interpruted view, not the actual document.
    You can save the actual PDF attachment in its original format, but then you need a third party PDF viewer to view it as there is no actual PDF viewer available on the device itself.
    You can, of course, still attach it to another email.

  • Can Yosemite read pdf files made in Snow Leopard?

    can Yosemite read pdf files made in Snow Leopard?

    Yup, restarted my system. First thing I did was open Firefox and try to open a .pdf.
    There isn't an Acrobat icon in my system tray, and it's not showing up in my task manager, so is there another way of seeing if it's open?

  • HT1338 I can't read PDF files online.  I have tried to find a fix, or plug in or patch but nothing works.  HELP

    Hi All,  A friend sent me a link to a fix for reading PDF doc's online when I first got my Lion Mac Mini, but I since updated my Firefox browser now I can't read PDF's online in either Firefox or Safari.  Can anyone help me please?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    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.

  • Airport disk utility can't read time capsule after a relocation

    airport disk utility can't read time capsule after a relocation. Wether I connect ethernet or wifi, airport doesn't read it. Even after reset.

    Do a full factory reset.. and you will need to reconfigure it.. that is the usual process when you move networks.
    You can do a fully manual setup though. The new v6 utility is just lousy at locating the TC.. if you still have a computer.. even a PC running windows it will do fine on v5 as long as the TC is not the latest model..
    Or use iOS version airport utility.. it also seems to have less issues than the mac version.

  • Can't load pdf files after 10.4.11 update

    Since installing the 4.10.11 update I can't read any more the pdf files downloaded in Safari 3 as the page turns completely gray (I can read pdf files only after downloading them to the desktop). I have browsed the 4.10.11 troubles and answers hoping to find a cue, but nothing of the like seems to have happened yet...
    Is there something that I can do ?
    Thank you for any help !

    Have got exactly the same problem with Safari, but fine using Internet Explorer. Had a quick look on Adobe's update page - seems they only go up to 10.4.10... that may be problem???
