Cannot open or launch adobe reader and adobe acrobat will not download

"Adobe acrobat must be launched" box appears when I try to read a file. I cannot launch adobe reader; it will not even open. When I try to download adobe acrobat it says adobe reader is already installed. Help!

What is your operating system? Reader version? How exactly are you trying to launch Reader?

Adobe Reader and Internet Explorer will not load the lastest version of a PDF off a website.

Even after trying to force a refresh with Ctrl - F5 the newest version of the PDf will not load.
We have tried clearing IE cache and restarting, and this does not fix the issue.
This issue is showing up on mutliple user accounts.
This is happening on IE 9 and 10, and several different version of Adobe read 9 and 10.

Okay. If you can provide an external example for me to look at I will know more. In the meantime, let's start by determining if this really is related to a locally cached file. Instead of clearing the IE cache, use the Windows Disk Clean-Up tool (in Start > All programs > Accessories > System Tools) to clean up as much as possible. With IE and Reader closed, I would certainly check "Temporary Internet Files" "Offline Webpages" and "Temporary files" and you can clean-up more if you want. See if this solves the problem (it should). If this solves the problem then at least we will have confirmed that there is something on cached locally that it causing the problem.

Adobe Reader 8.1.1 will not download

I am using Vista 32bit. Following is the message I receive:
This program cannot display the web page
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The web site is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another web site to make sure you are connected.
Re type the address.
Go back to the previous page.
More information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
Internet connectivity has been lost.
The web site is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the web site's domain.
THEN - I receive the following message:
The license Agreement was not accepted. The application will now quit.
I GET TWO ICONS - 1.) ADOBE READER INSTALL (which appears to install) and 2.) ADOBE READER (which when asked, generates the messages above).
I have open up my fire wall, checked for cookies, tried IE, then downloaded Mozilla Firefox.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS PROGRAM TO WORK? I would greatly appreciate any assistance because I have spent the entire day installing and uninstalling, trying every scenario I could think of. Need help Please! Thanks!

Try turning off ALL of the security programs that you have on your computer. Next, make certain that you completely uninstall and remove everything reader (Folders, files and references elsewhere). Any removal that you do , including Registry editing is at your own risk! I do not use Vista, but the idea is the same as Win XP. Go to the Adobe site and download the program -do NOT allow the extra item to be included. The file is 20.8 megs. Reboot the computer and have NO other programs running. From you download folder or wherever you put the file, you can run the installer.
Remember that ALL security must be turned off during the install. You can reenable it after you have Reader 8.1.1. running. ANother thing-you do not mention if you have Acrobat installed as well-there are several known issues concerning the 2 running together.
Hope this idea works for you

What is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?

what is the different between adobe reader and adobe acrobat reader?What are the procedure to download a Acrobat reader?

Good day,
Adobe Reader is a free application we offer for viewing and printing PDF files. Many years ago, it was known as Acrobat Reader. You may still see some users refer to Adobe Reader as 'Acrobat Reader'. Old habits are sometimes hard to break!
You can download Adobe Reader by visiting: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Kind regards,

You delete content from the iPad and/or update it from iTunes on a computer.
iCloud space is separate from that on the device.

Are you sure the error message/prompt isn't referring to the amount of disk space available on your PC's internal hard drive? If you head to Start -> My Computer. How much space is free on your C: drive?
Maybe it would help if you could post a small screen shot of the error.

Why is Firefox nownot compatabile with Adobe Reader and Adobe flash 10.o?

The issue with Adobe Reader is when I fine the site I want using Google and the URL is a PDF file click on the site the document will not open.
When trying to down load and install Adobe Flash player I got a message the it was not compatible with Mozilla Firefox
currently I am running Firefox 6.0.2

Pat-Thank you for the tip on Firefox not using Adobe Reader plugin. I would like to clarify a couple of things. I do not use Firefox, ever. I had installed it just to see if I could pull up the PDF files, assuming it used Adobe. I went to the link you mentioned (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136) on Post 6 at 12:10 a.m. I tried the steps more out of curiousity to see if Adobe would work on Firefox, but could not figure out how to do it.
At this point though, my concern is I still cannot get Adobe Reader to work on either Vista IE 9 or Windows 7 IE 11. I still get this message on websites:
To view your statement, you must have Adobe® Reader® installed on your computer.
Download Adobe Reader for free by clicking here.
I really appreciate your time and effort for all on this Forum. I believe I may not be making myself clear though. The Flash Player problem is resolved on IE 9 and 11. But I have tried System Restore, Downloading from the Adobe and other sites when they give me the download adobe reader for free message, and my program manager clearly states the latest version of Adobe Reader is installed. I cannot figure out where to go from here to get it to work, and as I mentioned before, up until a few days ago, Adobe Reader was working great on all my computers.
One other item. I notice I am getting literally hundreds of emails about Adobe problems in my inbox from others on the Forum. How do I stop them from going to my inbox? Did I set something on the Forum which is making it appear I may be an expert on Adobe issues? How do I correct this without creating a new email account?

I downloaded adobe 11. and it still will not read my bank statements,it used to read them fine,whats

I have downloaded adobe 11.0 and it still will not open and read my bank statements,it used to work fine until I downloaded the newer version,whats wrong?

There is no 11.5 updates avaialble for Adobe Reader. Also deleting the Adobe Reader 11 is not right way to uninstall. Could you please do a clean uninstall of Adobe Reader 11 or what ever version you have from Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall Program and then re-install the latest Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
