Downloaded adobe reader 8- being asked to purchase

Please help. Just downloaded FREE Adobe Reader 8.
Now when I click to view a pdf in an IE browser, I get an error "problem with adobe software" when I view the first page of the pdf. When I try to advance to the second page of the pdf, I get a window asking me to BUY Adobe professional 8. If I click quit (and not buy) the pdf closes.
Help please!!

These are unusual problems, I think.
First, can you start Adobe Reader from its icon or the Start menu. Go
to the Help menu look for About... What items starting About do you
have? Also, do you see more than one Adobe Reader/Acrobat/similar in
the Start menu?

Did you do that: launch the standalone Reader (not the browser plugin) and accept the EULA?

How do I stop google crome from being added to my computer when downloading Adobe Reader?

By unchecking the box on the download page.
Or by downloading the offline installer from the FTP site or http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

When I download Adobe Reader, it asks for a password. It doesn't accept my Adobe password. What password is it searching for?

Then try leaving the password field blank and hitting enter. If that doesn't work, you have a password (and would be beyond the help available in the Adobe forums).

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.

Unable to print PDF documents & then unable to download Adobe Reader

Help,
I tried to print a PDF document this morning and received the message "The document could not be printed". I clicked OK and received a further message "There were no pages selected to print". My printer will still print word documents, emails and DVD covers produced using Nero Cover Design Essentials.
I have the latest version of Adobe reader 11.0.07. I went to the Adobe site and repaired Adobe Reader but it made no difference.
I therefore decided to uninstall Adobe Reader and reinstall it from the Adobe site. It downloaded OK but when I tried to install it I got the following message "Error: General Installation Error". I was using Mozilla Firefox so tried the same with Internet Explorer, with the same result.
I then downloaded the full Adobe reader from File Hippo, but still got an error message when I tried to install it (see below).
So I have gone from bad to worse and don't even have Adobe reader on my PC any more. The problem only surfaced this morning and last night I uninstalled two programs I decided I didn't need any more; Auslogics Disc Defrag and AVG PC Tuneup, but don't understand how uninstalling them could have caused the problem.
Regards,
Barry

Hi again Pat,
I checked the permissions in my Temp folder and there were none. So I ticked all the boxes, but when I ticked OK I got the permission denied message again, so the problem is still tied to me not having administrator privileges. Strange thing is that even though I was denied permission, the boxes still stayed ticked. However nothing has changed as far as my problems are concerned.
It would appear to me that the answer is to get my administrator privileges back, but I have been unsuccessful in that so far. I purchased a complete PC from a good supplier but the Windows 7 setup disc that came with it does not have the "Repair Your Computer" function on it, which I understand would allow me to sort out my administrator privileges? When I rang Microsoft and asked if there was any way I could obtain that function, by download or otherwise, they weren't at all interested as I hadn't purchased Windows 7 directly from them.
As for downloading Adobe Reader via the MSI folder, I don't need to do that because when I recovered my backup from an earlier period I once more had Adobe Reader. I can use Adobe Reader to open a PDF document but it would appear I must have administrator privileges in order to print a PDF document, which was how the situation was before I decided to uninstall Adobe Reader and download a new version. I can print any other type of document so obviously Adobe demands more before it will allow printing.
In the early stages I also downloaded Foxit Reader, as I had read good things about it, but again, for the same reasons, I could not install it.
I have googled "problem with loss of admin privileges" and got a lot of hits. I will try some of the suggestions that don't appear too complex, but if they fail I will go back to the supplier. I have to sort it. I have seen suggestions about starting a new account but am not sure what to do there, or indeed, if I should do that.
Thanks for all the attempts to help me so far,
Barry

Problems downloading adobe reader

Can anyone help me.
I recently purchased a new PC and tried yesterday to download adobe reader.
I had to click on the 'if the download does not start click here' but when I did I was given an option to save or cancel... there was no option to RUN.
I have saved out 5 times but the programme is not showing on the computer and therefore I cannot run it.
I have windows visita and use Mozila firefox.
Could mozila being stoping the programme from downloading.. if so how do I get it downloaded.
Jon

You need to be sure where your browser should save the file to. Not sure where the default save path is for Firefox. You can try using Windows Search to see if the file is on your hard drive. Try searching for AdbeRdr910* modified in the last month.
I read on another forum that AVG AntiVirus software was causing the same missing download problem. Are you using AVG by any chance?

We downloaded Adobe Reader XI and our PC no longer works properly.

We run Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3, and use Internet Explorer 8. We once were running a Trend Micro AntiVirus that seemed capable of producing some issues, but we believe it to be disabled. Before downloading Reader XI, we were able to easily use PDF files in many ways. When there was a web site we were using that offered us a look at a document, such as a statement, or a blank state government report form, we could click on it, and the pdf would pop up in a window associated with Explorer, where we could view it, and then decide whether to print it. We can no longer do that. We still can use some pdf's, but not pdf's that are made available to us via the Internet in that fashion. A few weeks ago, upon startup, we saw a message on our desktop that we ought to download the latest Adobe Reader. We downloaded Adobe Reader XI. The problem immediately started. We uninstalled Reader XI. We reinstalled. The problem persisted immediately upon reinstall. In between the uninstall and reinstall, we looked at our system attempting to find an older version of Reader we could reinstall in preference to XI, but we saw nothing under our Control Panel Install/Uninstall programs, and so nothing on our hard drive. Now, when we attempt to click on a "View" hyperlink on many websites, the pop up window, that would have at one time showed us the document or pdf file, pops up blank, turns dark gray, and stays inert for 2 or 3 minutes, followed by the appearance of the error message stating that we have a problem with our programming, or, if the Reader is already running, shut it, and try again. The reader is not already running. We have tried rebooting and re-trying to view, but we get the same error message. We have some old pdf's stored on our hard drive. We can double click the file names and open and read and print the files in Reader XI. We can also add new pdf's to our hard drive if they arrive as attachments to e-mails; or, if at a web site offering a view of a document we need, if the web site offers also an ALTERNATE hyperlink by which we may DOWNLOAD the file, then, we can get the file via download, and open it. The Reader XI is not inoperable. It will not work with various websites in Explorer 8 that offers a VIEW hyperlink rather than a DOWNLOAD hyperlink. What can we do? If we download Google Chrome, will it work?

Internet Explorer is, as we in the web design world call it, "the problem child" of browsers. It seems as the rest of the world embraces HTML 5 and CSS 3, Microsoft has been throwing a tantrum and hoping everyone will go back to 1998 standards... "It ain't gonna happen."
Given that the view/download worked prior to installing the newest Reader, it's probably a matter of IE not working with the latest plugin. Since XP (which is just ten short months away from being "sunsetted" by Microsoft) won't work with IE9 or IE10, you're stuck with 8, and I'd recommend a "downgrade" to an older build, like 10 or even 9.
First, you'll want to run the Adobe Cleaner to remove all traces of Reader XI.
Then download the offline installer for 10 and reinstall.

I can't download Adobe Reader or Flash on my HP TouchSmart 520 PC

Help! I have ask an IT support through Geek Squad and they couldn't figure it why i can download Adobe Reader and Flash

I understand that it is difficult to determine which forum to post in since there are so many. This particular forum (sharing and storage) was created to help those transitioning from Photoshop.com to Adobe Revel. I am moving your post to the correct forum so that it can get proper attention.
I'll put this posting in the flash community so the experts there can help you.
We also have many other forums relating to other Adobe products

Downloaded adobe reader from adobe but cannot open pdf on uni website

downloaded adobe reader from adobe website but when trying to open a pdf on uni site keeps telling me that i must relaunsh adobe reader & accept the end user license agreement, but when install adobe reader it doesn't ask for this? please help

Accepting the EULA is not done during the installation, but when Adobe Reader is launched for the first time. That's what you need to do (not the browser plugin, but the actual Reader program).

Dev question: how to prevent Adobe Reader from copying pdfs to "Download/Adobe Reader"?

I am making an app that downloads pdf files from a server and the users can decide to store them in the phone. Those files are kept in the app's private storage.
The pdf files can be opened from inside the app. The problem is that every time a pdf is opened, adobe reader copies it in "Download/Adobe Reader" (the path may be different depending on the device and the android version). Those pdf files should not be available from outside my app. How can I prevent adobe reader from creating copies in that folder? Do I really have to make my app track them down and delete them? It wouldn't be the safest solution...
In order to open the files, I se up a content provider:
from the manifest:
<provider
 android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
 android:authorities="com.example.myapp.fileprovider"
 android:exported="false"
 android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
 <meta-data
 android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
 android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
</provider>
And then, in a method, I do this:
File pdfToRead = new File(pdfPath);
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.example.myapp.fileprovider", pdfToRead);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : appsList) {
 String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
 context.grantUriPermission(packageName, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
openPDF(context, uri);
public static final void openPDF(Context context, Uri localUri) {
 Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
 i.setDataAndType(localUri, PDF_MIME_TYPE);
 context.startActivity(i);
Thanks for the help.

Meh, I just hoped there was a way to tell acrobat "don't create a copy of the file because it's private". For now, I'm detecting the "downloads/Adobe Reader" folder, look if there's the file that was opened and delete it.
Now I need to know something that I can't ask on stackoverflow: what paths does Adobe Reader use to create the "Adobe Reader" folder? Because not every device has an external sd card (external, not removable. Just for clarity). In my device it's at "Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)+"/Adobe Reader".

Downloading Adobe Reader 11

How do I download Adobe Reader 11. I have a 4 year old MacBook and it will only let me download the Adobe Reader 10.

These are the system requirements for Reader 11:
Intel® processor
Mac OS X v10.6.4, v10.7.2, or v10.8
1GB of RAM
350MB of available hard-disk space
1024x768 screen resolution
Safari 5.1 for Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7.2; Safari 5.2 for Mac OS X v10.8; Safari 6.0 for Mac OS X v10.7.4 or v10.8
Could be that your machine doesn't meet those requirements, so you're being offered the version that's compatible.

Downloading Adobe Reader on new I-Mac

I recently purchased an I-Mac and after downloading Adobe Reader a couple of times, I continue to get the message; "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." when trying to open PDF files. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? This is getting really frustrating...

Make sure that Reader is closed, open your Applications folder, double click on the Adobe Reader icon, and follow the instructions.

When downloading Adobe Reader, the Firefox instructions say to look for an "edit option" box. It does not appear and I am stuck.

How can I download Adobe Reader if it will not accept my password?

I have spent more than 3 hours (over 2 on your ask the expert where I waited forever and got about 5 minutes of Santos' time!) He transferred me to this area where there is no one to help me. I can't adjust my thermostat until I update my adobe reader and can't do that because your website will not take my password. However, adobe.com will take it. So what the hell do I do?????
