Cannot open .pdfs via Outlook or Adobe Reader, can't open Adobe Reader, can't uninstall it!

We have a new office desktop that will not open .pdfs or open Adobe Reader. The version on the computer is 9.5.2. When I try to install updates or install Adobe XI, the installation process stops before completion because it says Adobe 9.5 is currently being open. But we can't open Adobe 9.5, and task manager does not even show the program as being open.
I have tried uninstalling the program, but have been unable for the same reason.

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:

Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

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.

I had the same problem. My version of RoboHelp is pretty old (x5) and the problem was with pdfs made up in version 9. Some pdfs would open and some would not. It depended on the version used to make the pdf. Got error messages and corrupted file messages.
I solved the problem by using the full version of Acrobat and using the pdf Optimizer to make compatible with version 5( just to make sure).
Another option is to "print" to the pdf printer when the file is open.
Both then can be imported into RoboHelp without a problem
Hope this helps. It ruined many days at work for me while I tried to figure out what on earth I was going to do.

I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. Help please

I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. I have Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11. All it does is open up a blank page with a white x in a black square. How can I fix this?

Hi Pat..When I tried to run Fix It the computer pops up a screen that says this trouble shooter does not apply to this computer .The article refers to Internet Explorer 10 and Im running Internet Explorer 11. I did try to see it it would fix my problem but the registry entry does not exist on my computer (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth) I can get as far as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer but I dont have the option to choose Main. I only have the option to choose New Window which does not open up when clicked. Internet Explorer also has no value. Is there anything else I should try?

Cannot open pdf documents in Safari

I use Yahoo Mail and cannot open pdf attachments (via Safari) like I used too. Safari attempts to open but stalls. I have the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader installed App.

Take the adobe stuff out of /Library/Internet Plug-ins.

Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

Hello,
I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry. I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC. In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jesse

I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

Cannot Open PDF in Safari

Can someone please help.
I cannot open PDF files through Safari. I've read some of the other comments on the same/similar issue and I have tried those steps and have been unsuccessful. I still cannot view PDF files through Safari, in fact, the Preview doesn't even open. When it worked the preview icon would pop up in the tool bar at the bottom of my Mac Book, but it no longer does that. Here is what I've tried;
Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
Removed Adobe from applications and deleted.
Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
Went to internet preferences and un clicked enable plug ins.
Not quite sure what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

Hi Roxana ..
Which Mac OS X do you have installed and which version of Safari ??
Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
You do if you want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files.
Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
There are two libraries. One is root /Library
The other denotes your Home folder ~/Library (the Tilde character represents your Home folder)
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
If you see the Adobe PDF browser plugin or just PDF Browser plugin, move that to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.

Hi Pat
Microsoft upgraded Hotmail e-mail accounts to Outlook.com
The Print Screen key has no function.....when the 2 boxes mentioned above appear on the monitor (which I have detailed) they require action or I cannot proceed to another screen or function.
Maybe my problem should also be sent to Microsoft Customer Service...your thoughts.
I note there has been 106 views hard to believe that no one else has had this problem.
Appreciate your time

Cannot open pdf files

I cannot open pdf files from the internet. I just get a small white cross in a black background in the top left hand corner of the screen. This is not just from one website but happens with all. Advice please. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium and Internet Explorer as the browser and have the latest Adobe.

Richvan2, welcome to the forum.
The first thing you should do is run your antivirus program. It could be a virus.
Then, you should download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It may be a glitch in the current version on your computer.

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.

Cannot open pdf attachments anymore without saving them

I cannot open PDF files that come in as attachments (Adobe Reader 9) I have had this problem for two days. Before the, it was no problem at all. Now, for me to open an attachment, I have to save it first and then open it via My computer or via Adobe Reader and file open. The file association is there, set FOR Adobe Reader to open all pdf files. So what is the problem? It is a time consuming pain to have to save an attachment just to open it.
Thanks

thanks for the suggestion...I was sure it was going to work, but it didn't...when I restarted after performing the fix, the problem is still there...

Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
Please help me!!!!

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 anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash 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 — I don't have a complete list.
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.
