  • Adobe Reader Installer does not work

    I am trying to install Adobe reader on Windows 8. I downloaded Adobe Reader the Clicked the downloaded file and gave the permission. Then the Adobe Reader Installer window will show up but it's empty and has nothing on it. When I close it won't close either. I have to use windows task manger to close it. I tried to download it with another browser but still getting the same problem. I made sure that flash plug-in is working too. I used the direct link. Still can not install it.

    Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Adobe reader updater does not start

    Hi Adobe community,
    I am not sure how to resolve this issue. I've tried downloading the reader again hoping that it will over ride this but as usual ( those savvy with this kind of things will already know) it will not allow stating that there is an update in progress and to let the last update finish before installing the updates that I wanted. The updates in question are Adobe (to over ride this cycle) and also the Windows updates.
    It has been weeks that this has been happened but as there seem to be no major impact on my computer usage I felt that it is alright to leave it as it is. But I recently found out that Windows update do contain security updates that are important so I am here to try to solve this issue. I have left the updater overnight but it just stays like it is.
    So this is why I am here, I hope you guys/gals can help me out. I will attach a screen shot of the 'offending' offender and hope you guys can suggest a simple way to resolve this. And also I cannot shut down my computer.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Pat,
    Thanks for the help!
    I have tried the installer now and at restart both no go.
    And then the patch I get this:
    And finally the requested information:
    Let me know if this is an issue that can be a simple fix, if not I may have to re- install my OS. Which I dread as I do not know how to go about it.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Reader X does not launch

    Hello,
    Frequently, Adobe Reader X does not start on my Windows 7 computer.
    I have tried the following methods of access:
    Desktop link
    Start > All Program > Adobe Reader X
    Run > C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
    Environmental specs:
    Computer: ASUS laptop
    OS: Windows 7, fully updated as of 2/5/12
    RAM: 8 gigs
    Processor: Intel i5, second gen
    Observations:
    Subsequent attempts to launch Adobe Reader X add another "AcroRd.exe *32" image to the "Processes" tab in Windows Task Manager (the count of these images can build up very high).
    These same attempts fail to add an "Adobe Reader X" task in the "Applications" tab of Task Manager.
    The CPU and Memory were only at 25% of their capacities during the last occurrence.
    [Failed] attempts taken to fix problem:
    Repair install
    Complete uninstall / reinstall
    Workaround:
    As of now, the only workaround I have found is to restart my computer. If I am lucky, Adobe Reader X will open after booting. Otherwise, I just have to keep restarting until it works.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Would it be possible for you to:
    1. Temporarily disable the antivirus program and try launching Reader again.
    2. Try launching Reader by right clicking on the shortcut and selecting "Run as Administrator"
    If all the above steps produce negative results, please check the Event Logs on your machine (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Evenet Viewer > Windows Logs > Application) and see if you are seeing any error related to Adobe Reader.
    Also, could you let me know if launching Adobe Reader produces any error of sorts, or does it simply not launch inspite of a process being spawned.

    Adobe Reader XI does not open files with a command line "path" argument. Version X and lower all worked fine. I have deleted and reinstalled the program with no success. Is this a bug?

    Hi Daniel,
    What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
    Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
    Please check if 'Print Spooler' service is running on the machine.

  • Adobe Reader XI does not run using Win7 Pro

    Trying to run Adobe Reader XI on a PC running Win7 Pro, but it starts, gives gray screen, then shuts down.  However, I can read pdf docs within Google Chrome.
    I was running Reader version 10 with no problem, went to upgrade to 11, and now no versions work, as I've tried to uninstall and reinstall ver 9,10,11 but none work.  Help!

    I ran the script but does not fix issue.
    When I run Adobe Reader or click on a .pdf file on my drive, the Adobe reader program starts, but gives a gray screen while my hard drive spins, then program closes.
    any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    I am experiencing problem (the installation does not start) when I try to install ArchiCAD 17 Educational on my mac. I am using Yosemite. How can I fix it?

    You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite.  It is not listed on their system requirement website:
    Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
    Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6
    Only case insensitive file-system volumes are supported.

  • Adobe Reader XI does not open

    Why won't my adobe reader open and read PDF files. It is very annoying

    Google Chrome uses its own PDF viewer.
    Regarding Adobe Reader not opening local PDF files, three possibilities
    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

    Make sure you register the software with Adobe.  If you did not purchase it thru Adobe they will not have a record of the purchase in your account.

  • Adobe Media Encoder does not start queue

    Hi, 5 days ago I started having problems with AME 6, just updated version 6.0.3.1 (64 bit). I work with premiere 6  version 6.0.5, windows xp, always worked since this week, AME :doesn.t start the queue. after 2 minutes working you can hear the sheep sound and the report says: unknown error, unable to locate or read original file. I updated everything was available, reinstalled the suite (premiere and encore 6), it's still not working.
    Do you have any idea about the problem?
    thank you
    Francesco

    The status "Waiting" indicates that the job is ready to be encoded. As of CS5.5, AME by default does not start processing the Queue automatically. Instead, it waits for you to start encoding by clicking the Start Queue button in the upper right corner of the window--it looks like the Play button on a media player or editing app. Watch folders are an exception to this rule: jobs that come in via watched folders start automatically by default.
    You have the option of having AME start encoding automatically. To enable this, check the "Start queue automatically when idle for <n.n> minutes" and set the desired wait period.

  • Printing a PDF in Adobe Reader  v8 does not print watermark

    In our office we have PDFs created with Adobe Acrobat Professional version 7 that have a lighten watermark which say "confidential". These PDF documents print fine with Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Our office has now converted to Adobe Reader 8.1.1. When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader v8.1.1 the watermark displays on the screen but when you print the document the document prints without the watermark.
    I have checked the knowledge base and can't find this issue. The document has no trouble printing, it just doesn't display the watermark. I have tested Adobe Reader versions 8.0, 8.1.1 and the new version 8.1.2 all display the watermark when you open the Reader, but none of them print the watermark. I have gone back and verify and the watermark does print on Adobe Reader v7.0.8.
    If anyone has a similar issue or solution please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Mary Mendoza

    I have the same problem. The watermark does not print out even though I can see it in the print preview. Anybody...?

  • My Adobe Reader Plugin does not Load in Some Machines

    Hi ,
    I have created a Plugin for Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X.
    As per the licence it has to work with both the version.
    My plugin gets loaded in Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X versions only in development machines and few of the testing machines and My plugin works fine in these machine as per the task it has to do.
    I tried to test My plugin in some machines which has same configuration as that of the machines where My plugin was able to load, but i could see My plugin loaded only in some machines and all other machine its not getting loaded.
    Please some one let me know why is this happening and how to overcome this. I think i am missing something to load My Plugin but in some machines i was able to load My plugin without doing any settings other than copying My plugin's .api file to Reader Plugin's folder.
    Thanks in advance. Please some one help me out.

  • Adobe Reader plugin does not allow to save files

    When pdf files are opened inside firefox using the Adobe plugin 10.1.12.15, I am not able to save them to disk. The "Save button" appears on the bottom of the screen on hovering, but clicking it does not offer any action. Neither does CRT-SHIFT-S or displaying the Adobe menu bar and pressing "Save as..." from there.
    Restarting of the browser sometimes helps.
    Any tips? And no, I do not want to save pdf files as the first option. I want the opened by default in Firefox and save them from there when I need/want to do this.

    Solved it. Problem seemed to have been a crashed Acrobat process. Just kill all Acrobat tasks in the task manager, reload the link in the browser and the Save button now works.
