Confused about my recently updated Adobe Reader

Very confused with the 'updated' Adobe Reader pdf program I think I might have downloaded (currently unable to use it or even open it).   I am a retired senior and no longer work in an office, thus I have no need for your expensive programs.  I would just like the free pdf program, if that is possible.  Have had a very difficult time trying to first:  figure out how to use Adobe Reader since I first got in several years ago and secondly:  how to make and send pdfs.
I use Adobe Reader to download pdf files that are sent to me or are relevant to my hobbies.  Maybe the free version is no longer available?  I would also like to have my pdf files back, if I accidently uploaded them to your website. How do I do that?
thank you. (completely confused)

Adobe Reader is a free program, it can be used to view PDF files, fill in fillable forms, and send PDF files via email.
Adobe Reader cannot create or edit PDF files, unless in combination with a paid CreatePDF subscription.
You write that you uploaded your PDF files - to where: https://files.acrobat.com/ or https://workspaces.acrobat.com/ ?  Either way, after uploading, your documents should still be on your disk.  If not, you can download them again at any time.

    Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

    Obviously your download was not successful.
    What is your operating system?  How exactly do you download such files?

  • Whenever firefox is opened, it freezes. This has occurred after I updated adobe reader recently. What's wrong with firefox and what can I do?

    Recently firefox will open but then freeze immediatly. This has occurred after I updated adobe reader. I'm not sure if that affected firefox, but the time period fits. Restarting my computer has no effect on firefox.

    The Adobe DLM is not required for Adobe products to work. You can uninstall it by opening the Windows Control Panel and selecting Add or Remove Programs. In the list of programs select Adobe DLM (may be listed as Adobe Download Manager) and click on remove.

  • After recent windows 7 updating Adobe reader has stopped to run. Do you have solution?

    After recent windows 7 updating Adobe reader has stopped to run. Do you know solution?

    Three things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Can't launch updated Adobe Reader v10.1.3 in Firefox v3.6.28 in Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    Hello.
    Is it me or does the newly updated Adobe Reader v10.1.3 does not load from Firefox v3.6.28 in Mac OS X 10.5.8? This is after I click on any PDF links on a web site. Safari had no problems though!
    Thank you in advance.

    http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Rel easeNote_10.1.3.pdf says it dropped old Firefox versions.
    It's not about that, I think, as I got the exactly same bug with Firefox 12.0 / OS X 10.7.3 after the last Adobe Reader update.
    However, the release notes are interesting, see p. 6: "If you still require a 32-bit solution, this update also supports Mozilla Firefox for Macintosh when it is opened in 32-bit mode." 
    So, it seems that the last update is pushing the inline viewer (NPAPI?) plugin to 64-bit Firefox, even that it's known that it wouldn't work. In Mozilla forums some had tried to fix this by forcing Firefox to open in 32-bit mode (via Finder -> Applications -> right-click Firefox -> Get Info -> check Open in 32-bit mode), but I'd rather see the bug itself fixed.
    Interesting. Where are you seeing this in Mozilla forums? I didn't see anyone talk about this Adobe Reader problem in Firefox newsgroups on news.mozilla.org news server even after I posted my issue.
    It's in this bug report: http://support.mozilla.org/fi/questions/925055 - confirmed already by 230 people, by the way...
    Sorry to hear that the 32-bit workaround didn't work for you. (I haven't even tested it yet myself, just disabled the plug-in altogether to get the pdf files even loaded to Preview...)

  • Can't update Adobe Reader 10.01 (Mac Version)

    I am running OS 10.6.7 on a MacPro (MacPro 4,1: 8 core - - 2mx 2.93 FHz Quad-Core Xeon). I installed Adobe Reader 10.01 uneventufully. However, many times when on the web Safari says it can't find Adobe Reader to read a document and I have to locate Adobe Reader manually. This didn't happen until after I updated to Acrobat 10.01. Thinking that this might be a bug, I looked for an update for Acrobat Reader. But when I attempt to update Adobe Reader to 10.03, it goes through the motions and then gives the follolwing error message:
    "The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation."
    "Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
    "Error 1301"
    I followed directions, reinstalled Adobe Reader and immediately afterwards attempted to install the update. Same error message.
    I threw out the old version of Adobe Reader 10.01, downloaded it again, reinstalled it and then attempted the update, Same error message.
    I've repaired permissions, used AppleJack to clean caches, used DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory. Same error message when attempting to update Adobe Reader.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks.

    REFRESH - I have this same problem. I would like to update this, since I understand there are various security fixes included with each update of Adobe Reader. Is this correct? If no one has an answer, then how can I trash the updater so I at least don't get this annoying message anymore??? It pops up EVERY STINKING DAY!!!

  • How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?

    How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?
    Files from Google Drive are appearing in "Recents" where I cannot organize them hierarchically.
    I cannot find a user manual for Adobe Reader for Android with this level of detail.

    Hi John,
    Files opened via Google Drive are not listed in ‘Documents' section of Adobe Reader, because they are read only files. If you really want to save these files to ’Documents' then please follow below steps -
    Open the file from Google drive in Adobe Reader.
    Tap on the Comment icon placed at top toolbar(Second icon from the beginning)
    You would encounter a 'Read-Only document’ dialog, tap on Save button.
    Once you performed above steps , your file will be saved in /Download/Adobe Reader/ folder.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks,
    Adobe Reader Team

  • Can not update Adobe Reader as it did not come from Apple App Store.

    Can not update Adobe Reader or Adobe Lightroom 5 as they did not come through Apple App Store.  Note says I selected not to accept apps other than from Apple.  Just started backing up new Iphone and Ipad to Macbook Pro.  Is there a setting some where that would allow updates?    

    Yes there is a setting for that. Open system preferences go to the security & privacy sections, click the lock icon and type in your password. Then in the "Allow applications downloaded from: area tick Anywhere.

  • This is the third time I have entered this question and answered with my PW, etc. I have updated my IPad with IOS 7, and updated Adobe Reader with ver. 11.3.1. I cannot get any files or folders to come up when I click on Adobe, even though my Usage indica

    I Have updated IPad to IOS 7.1.1, and also updated Adobe Reader to ver. 11.3.1. When I click on the Adobe icon, I get no files or folders to come up, just a blank screen. I know from my usage indicator on the IPad that I have 36 GB of PDF files resident, which I expected, but how do I access them. I had updated from IOS 5 because Adobe was crashing so often that it made it difficult to work.

    If restarting the app or your iPad/iPhone does not work, we are not aware of any other ways to fix this particular problem.  Uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe Reader may be the only option left.  It will clean up the "inconsistent" application data.  But it is not even guaranteed to fix the problem.
    If you uninstall Adobe Reader (or any other iOS apps), iOS will erase all of the application data including settings/preferences and PDF documents stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.
    We'd highly recommend backing up your PDF documents regularly (not just this time) so that you do not lose them when something goes wrong.
    How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
    Backup your PDF documents.
    Uninstall Adobe Reader.
    Download and reinstall Adobe Reader from the App Store.
    Alternatively, you can store your PDF documents in cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive), which will eliminate the need to backup local files.
    Please let us know if you need further assistance.
