Downloading Adobe on a Dell--Open Office software?

I have downloaded Adobe Reader on my Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop (Windows 7 operating system, 3 GB RAM, Intel Pentium Processor) on three separate occasions, hoping I will be able to use it to view PDF documents. This would help me enormously in viewing time-sensitive documents. Each of the downloads have failed. The predominant issue I can think of is that I do not have Microsoft Office on my laptop--instead I have OpenOffice, which may be the problem. Each time, when I attempt to open PDF files, they convert to WordPad and appear as gibberish. Is there a solution to this, apart from installing the various Microsoft Office programs?
Thank you for your feedback.

You do not need Microsoft Office (or any other Office suite) to download/install/use Adobe Reader.
The simplest way to fix the Reader's file associations is to uninstall & reinstall it; download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Receive continual error messages after downloading Adobe Acrobat Pro; cannot open

I had downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI Pro as a trial and it worked just fine. Just purchased it/upgraded as a subscription last week and I receive a "download completed successfully" message, but when trying to open, get an error message saying the program closed unexpectedly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to receive the same message. Here is the error message I receive. What is the best way to get actual help from Adobe Acrobat XI Pro staff? I received an email from Sara Forsberg at Acrobat.com telling me to wait until my order was complete, and after a week it should certainly be complete by now - still same error message. Very frustrating given the cost of the program and that it is 100% useless so far. Need actual customer service at this point please.

I suggest that you Contact Customer Care - click on the Still need help? button to chat with an agent.
If you need more help from the forums, please post in the Acrobat forum; this is the forum for the Acrobat.com online service.

I downloaded adobe reader but cant open pdf files

I downloaded adobe reader, but when i try to open a pdf all my screen shows is a black screen. the odobe icon shows up on the bottom of my screen along with the other icons like launchpad, safari, etc. what am i doing wrong?

try a diff. PDF file to make sure the PDF isnt corrupted.
If still a no go, delete acrobat reader from applications, and reinstall http://get.adobe.com/reader/
open PDF again, make sure the PDF file is directed to acrobat for opening.
If not, right click on the PDF file, > open with > acrobat

I downloaded Adobe Reader and cannot open PDF files, can anyone tell me why? or what I need to do.

I am not able to open PDF files or documents. Why?

Here is my assessment, Claudio. I know you are revered among your peers and it's very obvious that you live on these forums. You have undoubtedly helped a lot of people and you will be rewarded in your afterlife for your endeavors here but here's a reality check for both you and Pat:
What lesson did D.Call learn from you? Likely the lesson was, don't post here or you'll be treated as an imbecile by some hotshot bitwhiz named Claudio Gonzalez.
Did you not see that D.Call said s/he was an inexperienced computer user… and was obviously asking for elementary level assistance? You were blinded by your belief that your knowledge and expertise is being wasted on anyone who isn’t forthcoming to your expectations. I merely pointed out that if you think it's such a waste of your time, why dwell? You should have left Graffiti to work with D.Call and headed off to another thread. Surely there were other posts requiring your extreme level of higher intelligence.
Think about this: You don't like it when someone talks down to you as I have here, now do you? No one does. Right now as you read this my guess is you are fuming and likely trying to think of a way to smite me. You can respond to this post in whatever tone or language you choose but I won't take offense. I’ll be the bigger man… I promise I won't reply so you can have the last word.
When you respond, see if you can take it up a notch and maybe even admit you made a mistake with your corkscrew remark. I don't think you would ever risk being so disrespectful to D.Call, and most certainly, not to me or anyone else if we were face-to-face. If you worked in my company, you would be fired for disrespecting my customers.
By the way, do you and Pat have spell check ability? If you do, you should use it.

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard from V10.4.8 My copy of Open office won't load. I've downloaded the latest version but it still responds with a "time out" message. Anyone know waht's up and what I can do about it. I can't even read my old files.

Since upgrading the OS on my MacBook to Snow Leopard my open office suite has died. All the old files are still on the HDD, but even "finding" them doesn't help as they are opened, unhelpfully, in Text Edit, which loses some of the formatting. I tried downloading the latest edition of Open Office, but it has made no difference. Any suggestions? Apple OS support has no solution to offer.

Found this, which might provide a clue:
I have had problems with 3.1 after installing Snow Leopard, with files created in MS Word - they come up with the text invisible (as though it's white, but changing the text colour doesn't help - by highlighting I can tell that the paragraphs are where they should be).
I upgraded to 3.1.1 but that did not solve the problem...
UPDATE: I found out the problem, it was nothing to do with Open Office, but rather the way Snow Leopard handles fonts. I went into the Font Book and found that a number of common fonts are now listed both in the "User" and "Computer" collections. I deleted the duplicate ones from "User" and now all works perfectly.

Open office issues

Im getting the following message:
The last time you opened OpenOffice it unexpectadley quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again?
Then it gives an option to check a "dont open" or an "Reopen" box but neither works. It just freezes. Cant acces Open office ODT files.

You need to reinstall Open Office. Download the installer from the Open Office website and simply set it up again.
I hope this solves your question. I have had problems with Open Office like this in the past. It can sometimes be a tricky software.

Is it safe to download adobe reader for my macbook? i don't want any viruses to pop up

can i download adobe reader for my macbook pro? is it safe or will i be at risk for viruses?

You may be confusing Adobe Flash - which is known for security issues - with Adobe Reader perhaps.
I think you are safe to download Adobe Reader. Always update the software when updates are available since many updates do include security fixes as well as bug fixes and any new features that have been added.
I have always had some version of Adobe Reader on all of my Macs and have never had any virus, Trojan or Malware on any of them.

Adobe is a software company, therefore tricky to download. If you mean Adobe Flash Player, no iOS device has ever supported it. There are third party browsers which might help by converting Flash files to a usable format. They are listed in the posts linked over there >>>>>>>>>

Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat. By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

Ive just signed up for the adobe photoshop pack, i use a mac, when i click download, nothing is happening.. Am I doing something wrong?? When I try and open the software I already had from trial it says its expired, or i need to use a serial number... H

Ive just signed up for the adobe photoshop pack, i use a mac, when i click download, nothing is happening.. Am I doing something wrong?? When I try and open the software I already had from trial it says its expired, or i need to use a serial number... HELP Anyone else experienced this?

If there is an option to "license this software", and it takes you to a sign-in page with username and password (not a serial number) - then just go ahead and sign in.
If it insists on a serial number you need to uninstall the trial. Then try to download again.

I downloaded Adobe immigration software for Aperture, opened Lightroom, but the Aperture library was grayed out so it couldn't be selected to import. How do I get it to work? I only have a few days left on the test version of Lightroom to see how it works
