Cannot open any PDF.

I cannot open any PDF file. My computer has Vista home edition and Microsoft office home edition.When I try to open a PDF file I get a message "Photo Gallery can't open this picture or video. This File is not supported or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Gallery." When I try to download Adobe Reader from the web I get a messge 'Error 1500 Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one." Idon't have a clue what this means.

I would try unistalling Reader, and installing it again.
I answered to your first post so as not preventing you from editing your second one. I suggest that you delete your email address from it unless you don't mind receiving more spam.

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.

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 cannot open any pdf files in Safari on my Mac Book

I cannot open any pdf-files using Safari anymore. Does anybody know what is going on?
Thank´s a lot!

Found the solution online!
An easy way to locate a file is to open the Finder. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this in exactly as you see it here > /Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you see the PDF Browser plugin, move it to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

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 on any web site!

Any advice please. I cannot open any pdf on any web site!
This happened since Monday 16 Septemeber, after I downloaded and then uninstalled Adobe Reader.
My Safari preference is "allow all other plug-ins", and preview would open pdf downloaded files to my MBA, but not if on the web.

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 the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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, remove 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.
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 cannot open any pdf files! I used to be able to. Have a mac.

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!

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

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.

I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus and now I cannot open any Adobe .pdf files from the internet. Fix?

Go to F_Secure's Flashback Removal Tool web page, download their Flashback trojan detection/removal tool, and follow the instructions you find there.
Also install the latest java update which also tries to remove these trojans.
Java for OS X Lion 2012-003
And only download the adobe flash plugin from the adobe site.
Update:
Just because you cannot download pdf may not be an indication of the trojan. There's been a number of reports about problems like that with pdf's. Look at the More Like This section on the right side of this page.

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

I DL ver 9,10,11 of Free Adobe Reader - cannot open any PDF file.

I get an error message "The instructions at xxxx referenced memory at xxxx. The memory could not be written." What is wrong?

tI did as you instructed and got no good results. I even restored my Adobe files from several weeks ago from Carbonite and could not load Adobe REader nor open any PDF file that I was previously able to open.
When I try to open a PDF file, I get a web page that has two panes. One pane on the left has a red box area with some options. The pane on the right is grey and has some options. The web page disappears after about 5 seconds so I can't read it all.
I tried opening three files after reinstalling Adobe Reader and after restoring my Adobe files. One folder that I restored as "Cache" and had a file inside called "AcrobatFnt11 then another file called AdobeCMapFnt11 and the other file called AdobeSysFnt11.
I'm extremely anxious to be able to open and load all my PDF files like I was able to for years before.
Thank you.
