Cannot open any pdf file with Adobe Acrobat X Pro

Unable to open any pdf files out of sudden.
Fatal Error - Acrobat failed to send a DDE command.

Hey 12a758y,
You might need to choose 'Check for Updates' options in the Help menu.
If the issue still persists, then go to 'Help > Repair Acrobat Installation' option

  • Can't open any PDF file with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

    I have tried to open multiple Acrobat files but none will open. I get a FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server."  I've created documents in word and publisher and am able to convert to pdf format but after the pdf file has been created I cannot open to view and I get the error message. Please help! Thank you!

    No I am thinking that the problem is with Acrobat XI Pro. Because as previously noted I can create a Word document and save as a PDF, the PDF document will be created by Acrobat XI Pro but will not open with Acrobat XI Pro, which normally happens automatically upon creating the PDF file from say Word, Exel, Publisher, etc. When I try to open with Acrobat XI Pro it give me the FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server". Since I could not open any of my PDF documents with Acrobta XI Pro, because I had Acrobat XI Pro as my default PDF creater and reader, I installed Adobe Reader, hoping that it would allow me to view the PDF documents that I had just created with Acrobat XI Pro and it did. The problem is that I cannot open Acrobat XI Pro to creat or edit or add PDF restrictions on  a PDF document straight from Acrobat XI Pro, but I can create a, say Word document, and save as a PDF file. Before installing Adobe Reader I could not open, see or edit the just created PDF file created through Word it is just now after installing Acrobat Reader.
    Also worth noting.
    I have been told that this same problem happened sometime ago with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Vesion 10) and that the problem was fixed by editing something within the registry. Does anyone know anything about that? Thanks!

  • Cannot open any pdf file with safari

    cannot open any pdf file with safari

    download adobe acrobat reader for free,  saves all PDF files and ideally open under Acrobat
    there are much more options for using and viewing the options native in Acrobat than in Safari, obviously.

  • Cannot open embedded pdf files with Adobe Reader X

    When trying to open pdf files embedded as an object within MS Word or Excel (Office 2007) it comes up with the following message:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is not installed on your computer. To edit this object, you must install a program that can open the object."
    I had no problems with AR v9.
    Similarly, when I try to insert a pdf file as an object it comes up with exactly the same message.

    Sure.
    In Reader X:
    Edit->Preferences->General->uncheck "Enable Protected Mode At Start Up"
    Cheers

    I cannot open any pdf files with this reader, please advise.

    What is your operating system?  What is your browser?  What is your Reader version?  What exactly means "cannot"?

  • I cannot open a pdf file with aole-mail. I can open pdf files from windows explorer. I have associated pdf with adobe reader. My operating system is window

    I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as  I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
    When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'.  I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

  • Open PDF files with adobe acrobat

    Greetings,
    I need to open my PDF files in Adobe Acrobat NOT in Preview. How do I set my full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X for Mac to open all PDF files by clicking on the icon without having to choose adobe acrobat to open each time?
    Thank you; these simple savings of time compounded over a year really add up.
    Doug Kennedy

    Select a PDF file and do a Get-Info (command-I) Where it says "Open with" select the drop down menu and then select Adobe Acrobat Pro X. Then select the box "Change All"
    BTW, this bit is Mac 101. Get a good book on Mac OS.

  • I downloaded Redear to see if it could open an old .pdf file.  Now I cannot open any .pdf files.

    What is wrong with Reader?  Having loaded it I now cannot open any .pdf file in my computer or on email.

    I gave up loading then scouring out Adobe products each time it told me Flash Player was loaded but was nowhere to be found on my system.  I have now done what I expect is the intention in that I have downloaded the full Adobe trial pack, which they then expect me to purchase.
    Cannot get over the impression that the fault is deliberate.  Building in the requirement for all users then loading a weak link, that drives you to purchase.
    Shockwave is FREE... Flash Player is FREE.... Adobe Reader is FREE... Adobe AIR is FREE... Those four products are, and always have been, FREE... Flash Professional, which is for creating and editing Flash animation and video files, is a paid licensed product. Acrobat Professional, which is for creating and editing PDFs, is a paid licensed product. Neither Flash Player nor Adobe Reader have any links to prompt an upgrade to the professional version of software for the file format. Never have. Viewing Flash content and PDFs needs to be universally available to the public who receive such content over the Internet. Creating and editing Flash files and PDFs is not something that everyone needs, so it's only available at a cost for those who need it and choose to use Flash Pro or Acrobat.
    There are Creative suites with several Adobe applications for everything from photo and graphic editing, to video editing, to making e-readers, to web design, but those are for developers of the individual media.

  • I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe application error . . . . I now cannot open any PDF's. Adobe seems to be unresponsive.

    I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing  . . . .Acrord32.exe
    I now cannot open any PDF's and Adobe seems unresponsive. I have tried to follow a step by step guide on how to fix this but Adobe won't stay open long enough for me to complete the steps. When I open Adobe it stays open for a matter of seconds then minimises to the task bar and when I click on it again I can't do anything with it and have to close it via task manager
    Please help!?

    Disabling Protected Mode should fix the problem.  But since you cannot even open Adobe Reader by itself, you need to do it via the Windows registry.  If you tell me your installed Reader version, I can give you a registry script to do that.

  • Cannot open any HTTP links in Adobe Acrobat 6.0

    Hi
    We cannot open any HTTP links in Adobe Acrobat 6.0, that means if we click on HTTP link nothing happens.
    Howto configure Acrobat 6.0 to open HTTP links, instead of Acrobat Update?

    This happens because these are not true links. Links created with Acrobat using the link tool do not have this problem. Acrobat and Reader have a feature that tries to automatically recognize urls so they can act as links, but it fails when the link contains a space.

  • Can I batch print PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader X

    can I batch print PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader X?  I have tried from Windows Exploer (Windows XP) and it looks like the files are opening but they do not print.

    Very strange!  What is your installed Reader version?
    Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • HT1338 I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air.  I used to be able to.  I downloaded osx mountain lion and it still doesn't work.  any suggestions?

    I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air.  I used to be able to open them.  It was suggested that I get OS Mountain Lion and I did.  still can't.  Any ideas? 

    You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com.  The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader.  If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files.  Hope this helps.

    I cannot open any pdf files. I used to be able to. If I open them I get a blank screen. Have a mac. Help!!!!!

    Hi Charlie,
    First, thanks for responding. These are mostly emails with attachments or documents that I have. I download them and once I open them the page is blank. I also cannot look at them in Preview. The same problem. I called Apple and they said they assume I have an older software version. They are going to send new software. I am not really sure this will solve my problem. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

  • I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Any suggestions?

    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!!

    created by pwillener in Adobe Reader - View the full discussionSince you mention Microsoft, I assume that you are on Windows. Can you open Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode Edit .
