Do I need Adobe Reader if I have CS4?

I have Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, using Windows 7 Home Premium on Dell Inspiron 1545. I have to uninstall as many programs as I can to save disk space. (I've maxed out the memory upgrades my computer can take.) Adobe Reader XI (which I think is the free reader) takes 127 MB. Can I uninstall Adobe Reader XI? In other words, is Adobe Reader XI performing a function that CS4 could perform? Obviously, I'm not a power user of CS, but use it occasionally in my work as an editor (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, in that order). Of course, I definitely need a pdf reader. Yes, I know I need a new computer, but need to make this one work a little while longer.

Not only do you not need it you should have really have Reader and
Acrobat installed.

Adobe Reader says I have it but I cannot look at certain statements because it says I need Adobe Reader, but I have it! Feeling frustrated!!!

I keep running into problems seeing documents and such on Safari. When I go to a page it says I need Adobe Reader to view it but I already have the newest Adobe Reader on my computer. I really need to fix this! Can anyone help me?

This is what it says. I have done all of this and it still does not let me view the page.
Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.

I can not get my ipay statements , I need adobe reader

Hi salex7,
I just checked your account and saw that your order is still processing. I can take several hours for an order to process fully. Once it does, however, you should have no problem logging in and converting files.
Please try again shortly, and let us know if you're able to log in.
Best,

As of late I am unable to run forwarded videos ie utube ect on safari- my MAC tells me I need adobe flash- got it still neg - now my bank statement is in PDF format and my MACtells me I need adobe reader - got it still neg WHY CAN'T I RUN THESE THINGS ON SAFARI???

Hi...
For videos. Uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Try a video.
All online bank statments are in PDF format.
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
Now try a bank statement.

Error message says need Adobe reader 8 or 9 installed to open pdfs from web pages yet Reader 9 is alredy installed on computer. Is this a 64 bit ossue although I am sure I did not have this problem prior to a replacement hard drive being installed.

What is your operating system, browser?
What is the exact message you are getting?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

Does a person need Adobe Reader in order to use a fillable PDF form?

I have created a fillable form using Acrobat XI and I find that some persons are unable to use it while others are. Does a person need Adobe Reader to use the fillable form? If so, how easy is it to download?
Thank you

Hi kenmilw,
Reader is an excellent, and free, option for your recipients who need to fill out your form. It's easily downloaded from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html. You can also use the Fill & Sign service on Acrobat.com to fill any PDF form.
What troubles are your recipients encountering? And those who do have trouble--how are they filling out the form?
Best,
Sara

Do I have to buy Acrobat before I can get Adobe Reader? I have an ID and password for Adobe, but when I try to download Adobe Reader it asks me for a password I don't have.

You do. Your system is either Windows or Mac (or maybe a couple of other less popular choices) and a version of one or the other.
When you set up your machine, you were asked for an administrator user name and password. You need both of these to install software.

HT1338 do i need adobe reader or flash

Do I need adobe reader & flash player with Lyon?

Depends on your needs. Anytime Adobe adds new features to Acrobat Pro, there will be users creating documents using those new features the Reader will be able to display that Apple's Preview cannot, since they have to play catch-up and try to figure out how to render the new format.
As far as Flash, that is site dependent. Flash is used on the web, more than anything else it seems, to animate ads. But you also need it for YouTube videos and many other objects where if Flash is not enabled, you may not even be able to use a particular site.
That's for now. With Flash banned from mobile devices, expect more and more companies to use HTML5 and do away with Flash entirely. It will probably be a slow transition, but I think Flash's days are numbered.

If I want to print a PDF page, when browsing web, do I also need Adobe Reader or is Preview sufficient to print PDF documents?? Don;t want to have duplicate apps if i don't need them.

Preview should be sufficient.

Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

How do I open a file on my iPad that needs adobe reader.

Safari and the Mail app support PDFs - tap on them and they should open. If you want to store them on the iPad then there are a number of apps that support them and which you can sync them to or use 'open in' on Safari or Mail to copy them to e.g. free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader

I already have Adobe reader installed and have been using it. I am now being asked by my banks to accept the end user license agreement. How do i access this ?

Did you launch the Adobe Reader application separately (outside of the browser) and accept the EULA?
