What is your operating system? Is there anything else beside the number 1406?

I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X. It does not print. It is unbelievable to me!

I just downloaded and installed Adobe Reader X. It does not send the view to the installed printers.
It is unbelievable to me that Adobe would broadcast a flawed product like this.

BRIAN; THANK THE LORD FOR GOOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT HELP OTHERS. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP TECH SUPPORT IS THE WORST TECH SUPPORT I HAVE EVER SEEN. I CALLED THEM AND 2 TIMES I TALKED TO INDIA OR WHEREVER, AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THEM. THE THIRD CALL I WAS TALKING TO A GUY AND WAS DISCONNECTED. I TRIED TO CONTACT TECH SUPPORT ON THE NET AND THAT WAS NOTHING BUT A PROBLEM AND COULD NOT GET MY MESSAGE THROUGH. I CALLED ANOTHER # AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME. THAT'S BAD. I JUST PURCHASED THE ELEMENTS 13 AND THERE IS 0 TECH SUPPORT. THANKS AGAIN BRIAN. """DINO"""

I was trying to install Adobe Reader and I got this error 1303. "Error 1303, The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\Font\PFM. The installation cannot continue.

Unable to download and install Adobe Reader

While trying to download and install Adobe Reader, when I click on OPEN, nothing happens. When I click on SAVE, I receive the message download failed. When I retry, a file is downloaded; however, I am unable to open the file. I am using Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11.

I am using WIN XP PRO SP 3.0 32 bit on a desktop....
I have tried 3 times to re-install Adobe Reader for Windows, but it keeps on telling me that the installation was unsuccessful...I have tried to find out more, I seem to have met all the requirements, and yes I tried that link, too.....
Any ideas? I know this Q & A was last year, but maybe you might have found an answer for me, as I uninstalled my current version before I started, now I wish I had left it alone....but I was trying to fix another problem on Firefox, which said I had to re-install anything from Adobe, to see if it would fix my little problem, now I have a bigger problem!!
The 1st problem was I cannot upload pics on Facebook, now I find I cannot upload a pic for Adobe, (on my profile page)!!!! I can still insert/upload a pic on Word, however....
I do hope you might be able to help me, as I am a novice when it comes to fixing problems....
Many thanks....Peace & Love

Installing Adobe Reader and Flash on OEM systems

Hello,
I wanted to know who I would need to contact or if I would need to contact someone to gain permission to install Adobe Reader and Flash on the custom PCs I build.
Let me know, thanks so much!

Why can't I open PDF files on my iMac. I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license, as instructed then quit the application and relaunched it and I still can't view the PDF document. The screen comes out black. Please advice. Thanks

Why can I view PDF files from the Web on my iMac even after I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license agreement.I then quit the application relaunched it, as instructed snd still the PDF document comes out blank or black. Please advice. Thanks

Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

Please help me!!!!

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
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 (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, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again.

Problems downloading and installing Adobe Reader X

I had problems with Adobe Reader X (couldn't print pdf documents, very slow opening and sometimes didn't open) so uninstalled it from my computer to see if downloading the latest version would get rid of the issues. I am running Windows Vista Home Basic.
I am unable to install Adobe Reader X - it gets to a point where it should be installed and I get an error 1303 message, telling me that I need to log in as administrator (which I am). When I retry the installation, I keep getting the same message. What can I do? I have quite a number of pdf documents that I now can't even open and read.
Many thanks in advance for any help that's there!

Problems with File Information and installing Adobe Reader

Dear Forum,
monthes ago I updated 10.3 to 10.4 now I have 10.4.6. Since the update I have been unable to access file Information (ie, as from key short cut: apple+I). Now I am trying to install Acrobat Reader and I cannot succeed.
Any of you can suggest me what is wrong and what should I do? Possibly without having to reinstall MacOS again?
Thank for help!
Marco

Your suggestion of creating a new account was useful for installing acrobat Reader.
If I understand correctly, you were able to install Acrobat Reader while logged into the new account. If so, then the problem's within the old account. Preferential Treatment is at http://homepage.mac.com/jonn8/as/html/pt.html.
my access to the update COMBO is problematic
If you can connect to the internet, get the COMBO update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1046comboforppc.html; it has nothing to do with the installation disk.

I am trying to download Adobe Reader, I have Windows 7 on my PC. Every time I get the download, I click on it to install the program, and I get the usual messages but I never get the install message. When I try the download again, I get a message telling me only one copy of the program can go on the computer. When I check the program list, it is not there. I have to restore my computer before I can attempt the download and install again. I have tried this at least 6 times but cannot install Adobe Reader. Please help me out with this. I really like this product and prefer to use it. I had o originally delete the program, due to an update conflict.
