Downloading Adobe Reader turns all computer files into PDF's!

Hi, Every time I try to download the Adobe Reader onto my laptop, it turns every file (including the internet etc) into a PDF File and I have to uninstall. I have no idea how to fix this can anyone please help? I assume it is something to do with my computer settings but I have never come across this problem before.

If you create a System Restore Point before applying the registry fix, you can at any time restore the registry to its previous state; see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-restore-point

  • TRYING TO GET RID OF NEW ADOBE READER - TURNED ALL MY PDF'S TO NEW VERSION

    I made the mistake of downloading and installing the newest 9.X version of Adobe. Problem because it has turned ALL OF MY saved PDF documents into 9.x version. This is bad because it cannot be opened by the recipient unless they too have the latest version. I can't force potential sponsors to have to download to view.
    I deleted the 9.x version and did an ADOBE AIR uninstall. But all my old pdf documents were not converted back to the older version. Now when you click on them there is an error because I've removed the program. Can't open them now.
    ANYBODY KNOW what to do to get my older docs to open and to have it where Firefox and Safari - save to the older version of Adobe; not the newer one that it is still doing? Both browsers save to the 9.X adobe version which can't be opened.
    I want the old Adobe back. Please help!!
    Thanks. :o)

    Do you mean the Reader or the Professional version? I ask because...

    Completely impossible unless you actually opened each PDF file and re-saved it. If you didn't do that, then the OS is simply showing you that the files are now associated with last installed version or Acrobat. Even if you did install the Professional version, it will not, and cannot alter all of your standing PDF documents without you doing so yourself. They will still be in whatever version format they were last saved in.
    But all my old pdf documents were not converted back to the older version.
    That's because the OS still thinks that's the program to open them in, even though you've removed it. Install the Acrobat 8 Reader and the associations should change back to that version.

    Reinstalling the version 8 Reader will also reinstall the version 8 browser plugins.

  • Having a problem downloading Adobe Reader to my computer.

    I don't understand why I cannot simply download Adobe Reader X to my computer from Firefox. It says I am missing a plugin, then when it searches it says its not available, takes me to download something and then a ZIP file appears.
    I don't even know what to do with this ZIP file and this seems like a tedious process for downloading a simple file. I gave up, gave in and used GOOGLE CHROME to download the file and it was on my computer in less than a minute, so then I could load it onto my computer.
    Why is Firefox being so picky about something like this and why haven't they made this easier to download. I don't like using other programs like CHROME or IE for things like this, but I am forced to use them.
    I enjoy Firefox, but it's the "little foxes" like these that mess up the vineyard and makes it difficult to browse and download items with ease.
    Please make this easier for people to download. Make a plug-in available or something to where I do not have to mess around with ZIP files that I don't know what to do with.

  • Cannot download Adobe Reader. Can't open any pdf files

    Hi. I am using google chrome as my browser. i tried to download adobe reader. it downloads the .exe file. i try to run it and i save it. (after saying yes to security). But then it doesn't do anything and I can't download any Adobe products. My flash driver was also removed. I tried to install McAfee and it started doing this. Is there a conflict between McAfee and the Adobe reader?

    What is "flash driver"?

  • 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.

  • Adobe reader opening all Exe Files.

    I believe I accidently set preferences so that all exe files are opened by adobe reader. Once I uninstalled Adobe reader all .exe files went back to normal. However on re installing Adobe reader all exe files have gone back to opening using adobe reader. When Reader was uninstalled I checked the registry for exe files and was told HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe
    should have a default value of exefile, which it does and then checked HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command which must have a default value of "%1" %* which it does. I can not change the registry while adobe reader is installed as the program regedit is an exe. Is there an Adobe register which I must change or another method I can use?
    Thanks if you understood that.

  • Trouble downloading Adobe Reader

    I am having trouble trying to download Adobe Reader. I have a few .pdf I am trying to open once I go to print them some of the pages are blank or some of the words are missing.  I searched and I thought the solution would be to install AdobeReader because once opening a pdf it automatically opens in Preview.  When I attempted to download AdobeReader from www.adobereader.com I receive the error message "AdobeReaderInstaller_11_en..... It was downloaded from the internet and will be opened by App Store. Are you sure you want to open it?" What does that means and why does it need to be open by App store?
    I am using a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
    Can anyone help me?
    I really need the items I am trying to view to display properly. When I click on the pdf document to Open with it shows the following options:
    Preview (Default)
    Google Chrome
    Safari
    Viewer
    It doesn't give me an option to open in any other applications, and it appears the only Adobe I have on my system is Adobe Flash.
    Thanks for you help in Advance

    The file that you downloaded should have this name:
    AdbeRdr11003_en_US.dmg
    or similar if you're not in the U.S. Is that the file you're trying to open?

  • Converting PST files into PDF's & the recipient can't print

    I am having the following issue with Adobe: I am converting PST files into PDF's and the recipient can view the information, but they cannot print. Actually, some information such as whether there is an attachment is displayed in the printout, but none of the actual text appears. I do not see any security settings at this end that would be causing this, but I have been assured that there is nothing on the recipients either. The same thing was happening when I sent it to a colleague here in the office.

    I discovered the problem and solution. Often PST's contain damaged text. It is not easy to deal with the damaged text. It is more efficient to have the recipient print the file as an image.Select the print tab, go to advanced, select print as image. I got the information by looking through the more specific information on the Adobe site.
