Cannot open PDF's after expiration of CS6 trial on Mac

We tried the CS6 trial. Now that it has expeired I cannot use Acrobat on my Mac. Every pdf I try to open takes me to the page asking if I want to license CS6 and will not open the PDF.

If trial period has expired then uninstall CS6. You can install Adobe Reader (a free product) to view the PDF.
Download Reader form following link: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

I cannot open pdf documents after installing Reader XI

Hi I have just installed Adobe Reader Xl. I now cannot open any pdf document - the screen is blank and closes after about 10 seconds. When running the trouble-shooter it states there is a compatibility issue. I have re-installed, I have looked at my internet options settings but still cannot resolve the issue. Do you have any suggestions? I am running Windows 7 and Norton 360 Premier Edition software. Regards Doug

Interesting that when I installed ReaderXI I wasn't asked to accept terms.
Cheers

Cannot open pdf file after updating to 10.4.11

I recently updated my operating system from 10.4 to 10.4.11.
after updating, I now cannot open any pdf files. I had/have adobe 7 before the update. I thought maybe there was a problem with the program after the update so I downloaded adobe 9- the newest.
I still am not able to open any pdf files.
any ideas??
thanks!
if this is in the wrong category, please let me know.

More than you asked for but good stuff. Permissions is buried in there somewhere.

Download problem with JSF: Cannot open PDF-file after opening WORD-file

Hello,
I have a JSP (created with Java Studio Creator) which displays a table with links to different files. Some links open PDF-documents, other for instance DOC-files (msword). I download the file as follows:
public String downloadFile(String fileName) {
try {
int dotIndex = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
String fileExtension = "";
String contentType = "";
if(dotIndex > 0) {
fileExtension = fileName.substring(dotIndex+1, fileName.length());
contentType=CONTENT_TYPES.get(fileExtension.toUpperCase()).toString();
if(!fileExtension.equals("") && !contentType.equals("")) {
// method that reads file to the byte array
byte[] fileContent = getContentOfFile(new File(fileName));
FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType(contentType);
response.setContentLength(fileContent.length);
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\""+fileName+"\"");
try {
ServletOutputStream out;
out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write(fileContent);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
faces.responseComplete();
catch(Exception ex) {
return ("!!!ERROR: downloadFile(fileName) - Could not completely download file "+ fileName + ex.getMessage());
return "";
contentType is application/pdf if it`s a PDF-file or application/msword if it`s a word-file.
fileName contains the full file path.
link-properties:
<ui:hyperlink action="#{showOriginalPDF.hyperlinkShowPDF_action}" binding="#{showOriginalPDF.hyperlinkShowPDF}"
id="hyperlinkShowPDF" immediate="true" onClick="testSubmit()" target="_blank" text="#{currentRow.value['display']}"/>
and the code of the JS-function testSubmit() (without this function I couldn�t get the right row selection in the hyperlink-table):
function testSubmit() {
document.getElementById('form1').submit();
return false;
All pdf-links are working fine and the correct document is displayed in a new browser window. but if I open a WORD-document and after that I click on another link to a pdf-file, the WORD-file is loaded again in the new window. Only if I close the window which contains the WORD-document, I can download the correct pdf after that.
Is something wrong with the response header (I tried "attachment" instead of "inline" too but without effect)?
Can anybody help?

Cannot open pdf files after installing app

I have installed the adobe reader app on my tablet but when I try to open a pdf file it downloads and when I try to open it from my downloads it says cannot open file. Please help!

Can you share the sample pdf file where you are encountering this issue? Also possibly a screenshot of the error you are receiving?

I cannot open InDesign files after upgrading to CS6.

Error message is "Cannot open the file *.indd. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug in that support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" Can anyone help!

That message means exactly what it says, more or less. The three possibilities are it isn't an InDesign file at all (we see that here a lot), there is a .idlk lock file in the same folder (delete it), or the file has been damaged (frequently happens with flash drives).
If you open the file in a plain text editor like NotePad or TextEdit (it will look like gibberish) and paste the first few lines here we may be able to tell you if the file is damaged or not an InDesign file.

Cannot open PDF file after update to Acrobat Reader 11.0.1 / 10.1.5

I receive faxes from a service in the form of PDF files. Up until today, I have been able to open them with no problem using Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 and lower.
Today, I updated Acrobat Reader to 10.1.5, and it's suddenly unable to open any of those files. I tried uninstalling 10.1.5 and installing 11.0.1, and the same problem exists.
I also tried a computer with 11.0.0 that had not yet updated, and it works fine.
Apparently, it's something about this latest update.
The PDF files open in other viewers like Foxit, Sumatra, and Chrome with no problem.
Here is the error:
The offending file can be gotten from here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24145333/Cisco_fax.pdf
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
/Mike

Apparently I was incorrect on the Cisco box, we are using something different now. We use an Extended application server attached to a Meta Call feature server. This is a known issue for them.
"We have discovered an issue that means that the format of fax PDFs generated on most versions of Metaswitch EAS is incompatible with the latest Adobe Reader (11.0.01). This means that when your end users upgrade their Adobe Reader to 11.0.01, they will no longer be able to view faxes received from EAS in PDF format."
The same is with version 10.1.5. I uninstalled 10.1.5 and reinstalled 10.1.4 and the problem went away. No updates for us for now

After activating "Click-to-play" plug-ins, I cannot open pdf files.

In the latest release of Firefox, information about how to prevent plug-ins from loading automatically was in the release notes. I activated this in about:config. (Click-to-play).
After that, I cannot open pdf files! When I click on a link all I get is an empty window. Reloading page don't help.
What I can do, is to click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page. Then the pdf file loads.
Another work around is to copy the link and paste it in IE.
Is this a bug with "click-to-play"?

Thanks cor-el. I have read the various bug reports and it is indeed the same. Has been known for a while...
Anyway, I find no mention of the work-around: "Click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page."
I don't know if there is a place to give that feedback.

Can anyone help with this - do I have to uninstall Reader and then reinstall?

I have had a trial version of Acrobat X1 Pro - I have decided not to buy at this stage - for some time it has been conflicting with opening PDF docs after "saving as" from word 2007 - I uninstalled Pro X1 and now when I "save as" PDF from word 2007 to PDF it will save the document as a PDF but will not open the document to display after publishing - I have to got to where the file has been saved to view the new PDF document - this is really annoying - do I have to delete adobe reader and reinstall it - adobe needs to look at this conflict with acrobat pro as I have even gone it to properties and tried to have adobe reader as the default PDF program - the main issue is that I cannot view the PDF after publishing it from word 2007

Cannot open pdf's from internet

I installed Adobe reader but found it wasn't necessary. After uninstalling it I cannot open pdf's from the internet. When I try all that opens is a blank screen. How can I fix this?

Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

Cannot open .pdfs in Firefox

My wife's machine is running Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Cannot open .pdfs in the browser. Clicking a link to a .pdf will open a new tab that immediately closes, leaving me right back where I was, as if I had never clicked the link. I can right click, then Save As, download the file and open in Adobe Acrobat X. But that's not what I want, and not how it was designed.
Internet Explorer 11 opens .pdfs in the environment described above, in-browser, with no problems.
I've followed all the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972278 and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html. Neither Mozilla's nor Adobe's instructions can get me up and running.
As a nuclear option, I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, restarted the machine, uninstalled Firefox, restarted the machine, re-installed Adobe Acrobat, restarted the machine, and re-installed Firefox, and restarted the machine. Attempting to open any .pdf yields the same result, even after uninstalling and re-installing everything. What's going on here? Why does Firefox open a blank tab, and then close it right away? Block pop-ups is set to off, and antivirus pop-up blocking is disabled.
My own machine running Windows 7, Firefox 34.0.5, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard opens .pdfs in-browser just fine, with no problems.
Any advice? I'm pulling my hair out!! Thanks for your time.

Hey,
Try the following:
* Go to setting (3 bars) > options > applications.
* Under applications panel.
* Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it.
* Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select Use PDF reader name (in Firefox) or preview in firefox.
If PDF files are still downloaded instead of displayed, try these solutions
Reset download actions
* Open your profile folder:
Click the menu button[[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help[[Image:Help-29]]and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
Click the menu button[[Image:New Fx Menu]]and then click Exit [[Image:Close 29]]
Delete the mimetypes.rdf file.
Then open firefox again and see.
I hope it helps.

Acrobat Reader 9 cannot open pdf attachement to email

My os is xp. After installing Reader 9, I cannot open pdf attahement to incoming email. The error message is "the file does not have a program associated with it", even though I have already associated pdf with Reader 9 in Folder Option. If I save the pdf attachement to a different folder I am able to open it.
Maybe I need to rever to Reader 8. If someone cannot solve the error message, maybe can tell me where I can get Reader 8 as it is not in the Adobe free download.

I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).
