Cannot read "must have" pdf - no way to install adobe reader

I just received an email attaching a pdf that is extremely important to me - has a form that I must have for an application and cannot seem to get it or anywhere else on the internet. When I went to view it both in my email attachment and on the internet, I was given the message:
"If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader."
I found that all could find were updates which would not install because I had no Adobe Reader to being with. Not showing in Applications or Library/Internet plug-ins. I really need the form from the pdf. What can I do?

The first link is to the latest version, not an update.

I cannot open password protected PDF document with attachments with Adobe Reader on OS X. Crashes.

I cannot open password protected PDF document having attachments on my OS X (v 10.8.4) with Adobe Reader X nor XI. The reader crashes. The same document using the same password opens fine on the laptop and Windows systems wheni it is fetched from a secure mail server. Why?

Moved to Adobe Reader

I have PDF documents to download. Adobe Reader does not recognize my password. How can I reset it?

Having troubel with Adobe Reader password. It doesn't recognize my entry so I have to reset it. How is this done?

The password for your computer is not the same password as is sometimes required to open a pdf file. This is also different from any password you may need to access a digital ebook.

How to manage PDF opening in client installed Adobe Reader?

Hi!
As a background, I have this Document Library in SharePoint Online containing PDF files that are supposed to be confidential files wherein the users can only view the pdf documents, restricting the Printing, Copying of Content and Saving/Dowloading.
As a workaround, this PDF files are password encrypted and toolbars and menu bars are hidden by default. That's why I need to open it using the local client PDF Adobe Reader. Since if through the browser, the pdf file security enforced becomes useless with
the Save and Button buttons visible and Browser Menu Bar can directly be accessed.
My problem is how do I enforce that PDF files stored in a Document Library in SharePoint Online be opened directly in local client PDF Adobe Reader without asking the users to
Disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on of their browser IE because we have no control over if they follow it or not and also this will also depend on the type of browser used by the user.
Why is it that this Library Settings option in SharePoint Online does not work "open documents in the local client application"?
Please your solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Venus

Hi,
From your description, you might want to force the .pdf file to not able to open in browser.
As there is no such OOTB feature can meet your requirement, a workaround is that we can use JavaScript to iterate through the Name column of the library, if there is
a file name ends with “.pdf”, we can modify the click event of the name string element of the Name column of this item to make it download the file instead of opening it.

I have Firefox 3.0.10 and cannot seem to find the right plugin for reading pdfs. I've installed Adobe Reader but it doesn't work. Help.

I cannot seem to find or install a plug in for reading pdfs in the browser window. I get that yellow bar telling me I need a plug in and click to install but nothing happens or changes

You're going to need an '''older version''' of that extension from here: <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7518/versions/
Firefox PDF Plugin version 1.1.2 = for 3.0.x and 3.5.x versions <br />
The latest is only for Firefox 3.6.x versions.
'''Or''', you could upgrade to a newer version of Firefox!

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.

How do I install Adobe Reader onto a computer with no internet?

I have a computer running Windows 8 with no internet connection. Is there a way to install Adobe Reader onto the machine with either CD or a USB drive?
Also, would there be a simple way to keep Adobe Reader updated offline?

Download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Put it on a flash drive and install it from there.

How do I install Adobe Reader on my PC?

I have tried numerous times to install Adobe Reader on my PC and am unable to do so. Suggestions?

I g o into adobe.com. I click on downloads. I click on download now (for Adobe Reader). I de-acitivate “install Chrome as my default browser (my current browser is Internet Explorer). A window shows up and a box appears that reads “preparing to install, please wait”. After about 5 – 10 secs that box disappears. The next two boxes are “Wait for File Download” and “User Account Control” each of which I am advised to click “Run” once the active boxes appear. Nothing ever happens.

Problem with installing Adobe Reader.

I have just recently tried to install Adobe Reader onto my new laptop and it has Windows 8 operating systems. I encounter my problem when the installation tries to retrieve information from my laptop and an error saying, "Installation encountered errors, Actionlist not found." I've never really had any problems like this on the download and installation of a program, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Google Chrome as my browser, if that is of any weight or importance to this issue. Thank you.

Never mind, I found the solution in a troubleshooting page on Adobe.com It was very helpful and specific on how to solve the problem. If anyone else is having this problem here is the link (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-installing-reader-proxy-server.html). Have a fantastic day.

I have re-installed Adobe Reader on to my Windows 7 PC. When I open a PDF I was getting an error message containing . . . .Acrord32.exe
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 have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Install Adobe Reader but cannot read PDF file

Hi all,
I am new and not familiar yet with forum so excuse me for a duplicate posting at
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b65e89/6
which is a thread "cannot install Adobe Reader". Since mine is a different problem, am transferring what I posted there into a new thread, which is as follows:
===============================
I cannot read PDF files with web browser so uninstalled and reinstalled with Adobe Reader 9
I still cannot read PDF file with web browser. After clicking on a link that is a link to a PDF file, I just get a blank page
Why and what can I do?

AOL used to have a lot of problems with PDFs, hope that has not returned. Anyway, the PDF was probably sent as a text file rather than encoded as a binary file. That would make it corrupt and is a problem on the senders end. Older versions of Outlook also had problems with PDFs that would cause a problem on your end.

"A 3D data parsing error has occurred"
By any chance have someone help me with this issue? Thanks!

thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
Appreciate your quick response.
