Down loaded Adobe reader 9 and can't open PDF

I am operating Windows Vista. I have installed reader 9.3 several times including using the installer icon. When i atempt to open a pdf all I get is a window that remains blank. The reader was working previously on my computer and suddenly it quite working. I think it happen after an adobe update. I also tried Reader 9 and reader8.3 and nothing changes.

I
also have a computer working with windows XP and the A
dobe reader worked OK. I compared the advance options in interne
t options and change the options in
my vista computer to match and adobe reader started working in my Vista
computer.

  • Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files

    My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.

    It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
    There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103).

  • Downloaded Adobe Reader, now can't open PDFs in Safari

    I was forced to download Adobe Reader to view and print something and then promptly deleted it. The app, the dmg, and the AdobePDFViewer.plugin from my library are now all gone. Nothing remains of them on my computer. Now, ever since that download, I get the screen below when I try to view a pdf in Safari.
    I have searched all over the net, like I always do before bugging all of you, but still can't fix it.
    1- I can't read it
    2-What do I have to do to get pdfs to open in Safari like they did before I installed Reader?
    Spec (Exact same as before Reader download):
    Safari 6.1.1
    OSX 10.8.5
    Thank you!

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application 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.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    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 by pressing 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.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 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.

  • I just downloaded adobe reader and can't print a pdf file

    i just downloaded adobe reader and cannot print a pdf file.

    Same or related issue.
    After installing latest updates of Mac Mavericks and Adobe Reader, I can't open pdfs downloaded from the web or print pdfs from the web. Using "export" doesn't help. Same with the print/pdf workaround.
    I uninstalled/reinstalled Reader. I indicated Adobe Reader as my default opener for pdf-type files. No help.
    I'm using Safari.

    What is your operating system?

  • Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

    Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
    please help!

    This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.

  • Can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.

    can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.  have uninstalled reader 2 times and reinstalled it, but still get same results.  running windows xp.

    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

  • Adobe Reader 9 - Can't Open Embedded Excel Links

    I currently have Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and Microsoft Office 2007 installed.  I am able to open a PDF document using the Adobe Reader software but I am unable to open embedded links to Excel documents.  I receive the message that the document you are attempting to open may contain macros, etc. do you want to Open.  I click on Open and than receive a message that Windows can't find the *.xls document.  This happens on both a Windows XP and Windows 7 platform.  I tested this same process on an Windows XP machine with an older version of Adobe Reader and the links worked fine.  Any suggestions to resolve this problem.

    The application doesn't actually integrate with Adobe Reader, it just opens it by calling it with the command line and using the filename as a parameter. The application only checks if the Reader's window raised an error.

  • Have Adobe X and can't download pdf files. says I have encountered a problem

    Tried to download a newer version of adobe but I won't download....what can I do?

    Hi,
    Did you pay for this software or did was it already on your system?
    If it is Adobe X Reader, try these steps:
    1. Go to Control Panel and look for Adobe Reader in the list of programs.(if you dont find Adobe Reader, go to step 3).
    2. Select Adobe Reader and uninstall / remove it.
    3. Go to this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO and download the latest version of Adobe Reader by clicking on the download button.
    4. Once it installs successfully, try downloading the said PDF file and see if it opens.
    5. If the PDF file still doesnt open, try downloading or opening a different PDF and see if it works. (this is an important step as we can verify if the problem is with one specific file).
    Please do post here if you face any issue.
    Thanks
