Cannot open pdf after installing Acrobat Reader XI

Installed as recommended update.  Now attempts to open pdf produce the message that file "could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist.  Change the association in your preferences."  What does this mean?  Running Windows XP.  Havve exhausted Acrobat help.

My reply was to Frederick; yours is a different problem. "I cannot open anything" is not informative enough to help you.

  • Trouble with opening pdf after installing Adobe Reader

    I am trying to download Adobe Reader. I have already downloaded and installed it. I have completed all the steps. However, when I try to open a pdf, it says that I need to launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License agreement then quit and relaunch the browser. When the installation completed, it did not give me the option to do it. How do I fix this? 

    You need to do what it says. If you are on Windows (pre-8.0) go to Start>All programs, find Reader and launch it. If on a Mac, go to Applications, find Reader and launch it.

  • After installing Acrobat/Reader on Windows 7 or Vista, icons of all applications/file-types change t

    After installing Acrobat/Reader on Windows 7 or Vista, icons of all applications/file-types change to Acrobat/Reader icon and double clicking on any icon/file launches Acrobat/Reader (instead of the native application associated to the file type). Is there an easy fix for this problem?

    I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware of a native PDF viewer for Windows.
    Nonetheless, if you want to change your default PDF application in Windows, you need to right click on any .PDF file, select "Properties",
    then "Change",
    then select the program you want to open a PDF with.

    We cannot open iTunes after installing it. When we click on the icon the licensing agreement comes up and we click Agree but then nothing happens.  Each time we click the icon the agreement comes up.  We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but we have the exact same problem.

    Refer to steps to remove SC files here:

  • Open PDF file on Acrobat Reader X on Document library file click

    Hi,
    Can you anyone tell me?
    How to open PDF file in reader from document library on pdf file click?
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open PDF file on Acrobat Reader X in SharePoint Document Library.
    We need to provide the OpenControl key in the DocIcon.xml and clients should use Acrobat X or Reader X to leverage.
    Here is a blog for your reference:

  • Can not accept license after installing Acrobat Reader 8 and removing 6

    To whom it may concern,
    after installing Acrobat Reader 8, removing Acrobat Reader 6, and starting Acrobat Reader 8 the license agreemnet window appeared as aspected. The problem is it displays everything as far as I can see correctly, but it is not working in any way. I have to close the windows by clicking on the white cross in the title bar. I then receive the message, that I did not accept the license and therefore Acrobat Reader will be closed. And that happens when I click ok.
    Hopefully someone over here as a tip who I can proceed. Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Jochen

    Dear Claudio and Shari,
    Liam's suggestions have been of value for me. The Acrobat Reader is up and running.
    Thank's!
    @Shari
    I'm using Firefox as well. An the tip and tool form Liam helped.
    Just give it a try. The Explorer is used by Windows for more than a simple browser.

  • Can't open PDFs with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

    I downloaded AR DC and cannot open PDFs while using Google Chrome.  I get a message that I have to accept the end user license but I can't find it.  If I switch to Firefox I can open the same PDF without a problem.  I am on MacBook Air Yosemite 10.10.3

    Chrome uses its own, built-in (and buggy) PDF viewer.

  • Open PDF file in Acrobat reader rather than SAP Document viewer...

    Hello everyone,
                    Whenever we attach a pdf file using Services for objects-->Store Business documents, an attachment list list is created and the file is archived in the repository.
    If we double click on it, the pdf is opened in SAP Document viewer and not in Acrobat Reader unlike word document....
    Can anyone tell me what configuration changes should be made and where so as to open pdf file in Acrobat?
    Similarily what changes should be made so as to open Email files in Outlook?
    Edited by: Suruchirazdan on Mar 31, 2011 8:33 AM

    Which version of the Acrobat Reader do you use?
    According to my experience with our desktop this might be a feature of ACROBAD READER X.
    Kind regards

  • Cannot open pdf files while the Reader instance is running

    Today I suddenly noticed that if I try to open pdf file while the Reader instance is already running (even if it has no pdf files open), the cursor just blinks one or two times without any further activities. So the only way to open files now is by closing the previous instance and starting the new one. I think this problem started to appear after upgrading to 11.0.3. I am using Windows 7 32 bit.

    I narrowed the problem: it happens if the file is in a directory which is a join point on the NTFS file system (i.e. a link to another directory), where the link source is in turn a join point itself (i.e. we have a two-level NTFS directory link). As this is rare, it could be not a problem of the particular version of the Reader, it just probably happened by coincidence that after upgrading the first directory I accessed was of this kind.

  • Unable to print pdf, print command goes to save screen after installing acrobat reader X update

    I have Dell Inspiron and brother MFC 7345N printer. Pdf printing was fine until I installed adobe reader security update this morning.  Now I cannot print pdf. When I select print command and enter specification, the try to print, I am routed to the save document screen instead of printing any pdf document. I've already restarted computer and printer and it is a new Dell with windows 7. All was working fine until adobe update screwed everything up. what can I do? Can I reset my computer to an earlier time before installing this update?

    In the preferences disable the entry 'Print to File'.

  • Error opening PDF files using Acrobat Reader 9

    I use Acrobat Reader 9 to view PDF files. I have Windows XP operating system on my machine.
    In order to view encrypted PDF files on our company webiste we have to install FileOpenInstaller.exe or FIleOpenInstaller.msi which is Adobe Component
    Therewas no issue viewing/accessing the PDF files until last week. But now we get below error when we try to open encrypted PDF files from our company website.
    The error message is "Unable to get server data [FO error #2114, OS error #0)
    Any idea what could be the cause of error?
    Is anyone aware of any possible issue with Adobe FileOpenInstaller.exe or FIleOpenINstaler.msi packages

    I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.
