Help. Cannot update ADOBE. Will not read incoming file.

I can no longer update ADOBE. which I've used for more than a dozen years.
How can it be done?
This is ridiculous.

Ok, let's clarify a few things....
Updating Adobe Reader should work; do you get any errors when trying to update?
You write that you have Reader 11.0; is that 11.0.0?  If so, you should update to 11.0.5 in two steps:
download and run the 11.0.4 installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.04/en_US/AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe
download and run the 11.0.5 patch http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.05/misc/AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp
Now to your PDF files you cannot read.  You downloaded the files from the Thunderbird email attachments to your local disk.  When you double-click on these saved files, do you still get an error message?
Regarding the $39: Adobe does not provide free support for their free products, but these forums act as a free support channel, mostly by fellow users, and sometimes Adobe staff.

  • Adobe Reader will not read pdf files on internet

    I have lastest version of Adobe reader on a new mac running OS 10 Maverick. This has latest safari (7.0.1) as my internet browser. My adobe reader reads pdf files already present on my desktop, but will not read pdf files from the internet even after I allow "trust" this site. Can anyone help me to resolve the issue please. Is it a bug that Adobe has not solved??

    Sorry if you did not understand my instructions.
    Regarding bullet point 4: Check Reader >Preferences > Internet > Web Browser Options> The blessed app should be " /Applications/Adobe Reader.app"
    You specified that you don't see the path, then it might be some problem in your installation.
    Please see the attached image and let me know what you see on your system.
    Regarding bullet point 5: Load PDF in Safari.
    This means open any PDFs in Safari web browser.
    Please make sure the below highlighted plug-ins are installed on your system by going to the specified path. And make sure the version of the below two plug-ins are 11.0.06. You can find the version by selecting the plugin and hit Command+i.
    Go to your Main Hard Disk/Library/ Internet Plug-Ins/ AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

  • Adobe 11 will not read my files.

    I have downloaded Adobe 11 several times, with and without the anti-virus set, and though it recognises my files Microsoft reports it had 'encountered a problem and is closing it down' when I try to open them.  When I restore the system to Adobe 9 it opens my old files but, obviously, not those in '11' format.  Any ideas?

    Well, it's like this.  Someone sends me some printed  information.  A bill.
    A report ,  It downloads.  I try  to open it and it tells me I need Adobe
    Reader 11 to do so and gives me a  link.  .  I download from the link.  It
    takes an age but in the  end it tells me I have successfully downloaded Adobe
    Reader 11. When I try to  open the file Microsoft tells me they have
    encountered a problem and are closing  it down.  When I try to open any of my
    saved Adobe Reader files I then  get the same message.  I have to use System
    Restore to get the facility of  Adobe Reader 9  back.  Then it opens my saved
    files again.

  • Illustrator files cannot be opened: Could not read the file because an error has occurred.

    I cannot open some files from  Illustrator which contain PNG files placed. When I try to open the file, I get a message saying: "this png contains addtional data for Adobe fireworks, which will be discarded upon save." When I press "ok" I get the same screen again. When I press "cancel" I get: "coulld not read the file because an error has occured". I am currently working on a Mac Mavericks. Using Illustrator cc and Fireworks CS6.

    Eliana,
    If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

    As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

  • Adobe CS3.3 update discs will not read

    I have a brand new iMac running 10.5.2 and the update discs for CS3.3 design standard (from CS2) will not even read in the computer. I've tried three different sets of software and not one disc in any pack will even show up in the computer. Other discs (music, software and dvd movies) show up with no problem. I called tech support and received a new set of discs today. same problem. please help.

    Buy a firewire DVD drive and get back to work. I have a new iMac and use a LaCie Porsche external DVD drive since it is faster and frankly a lot easier to use on the desktop than the slot is.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not read Raw files from Nikon D60. [was: No automatic updates for my PS CS 4  on windows (for reading .Nef files)?]

    Hi
    I have been using PS CS4 for several years.
    Yesterday, I went to PS CS4 help and selected "updates", but I get the message "There are not updates available at this time; Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater".
    I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
    any idea, please?
    thanks

    I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.

    Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
    The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
    Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
    If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

  • Running CS5 on a Macbook Pro. Will not read raw files for a new Canon T5i camera.Can update the current RAW?

    Running CS5 on a Madbook Pro. Will not open RAW image files from a new Canon TRi camera. Can I update to latest RAW processor with current CS5, or must I update to CS6 on the MacBook?
    Jack

    ACR 7.4 is the one that will read T5i raw files and it is CS6 specific. You can upgrade for $200 Standard or $400 Extended in you need 3D support.
    You can also see if converting your T5i files to .dng format will do just as well.

  • Newly updated Adobe will not open!

    I am running Windows XP professional 2002.  I have just updated to Adobe 9.3.  It now will not open and goes immediately to "Adobe 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
    Details say  Error Signature
                      AppName:  acrord32exe.
    Any suggestions?

    Ask in the Reader forum. You appear to be asking about Adobe Reader 9, not Adobe Acrobat 9. These are two different products and the problems differ between products.

  • Adobe will not open PDF files from other programs

    This is on one of the computers in our office.  We use a medical records program called Sevocity.  This program stores documents that we import into the electronic charts as PDF files.  When we upgraded that computer from Adobe to Adobe Pro, it no longer opened the PDF documents stored there.  Is this an issue with the medical program or with Adobe Pro?  We already had Sevocity Support attempt to fix the problem, but they said the issue looked like it was with Adobe.
    We would like to troubleshoot by re-installing AdobePro, but we want to make sure that none of our files stored to the Adobe Document Cloud.  If we re-install Adobe, will those documents still be available in the online Adobe account's Document Cloud, or do we need to move those documents to the collective Creative Cloud?

    Yeah, it does open from other sources like "My Documents", but sometimes it won't open the print previews in our billing system either.  Communication error with secure sites and programs, maybe?  I don't get an error message, though.  It just displays the "processing" symbol next to the mouse for a second or two like it does when PDF's usually open, and then nothing happens.  We are using Windows 7 on that computer.  The other computer that runs on Windows 7 also has Adobe Pro XI, but does not experience these problems.  I have also put in a ticket with Sevocity (the program that is not communicating with Adobe). 
    And that's a relief about the Document Cloud!  We will try to re-install just in case it was something that went wrong with the initial install.

  • How can I return my PDF doc back into word doc when Acrobat will not read the files.

    I changed one doc into a PDF and now all my doc have changed to PDF. I need to have all my word doc back but the Adobe said it can not read the formate.

    Hi Jewelhbowie1,
    What was your workflow to change the word doc to PDF format.
    The Acrobat application/Service does not change the original document it makes copy of that document and converts to another format you choose.
    Please share your steps that you choose to convert the word doc to pdfs.
    Regards,
    Ajlan Huda.

  • My iphoto cannot update and will not open

    I got my computer from someone else and they had their email in for most of the updates. My iphoto being one of them. When the update came out your'e forced to update to open it again, but I am unable to because the previous owners email and password is stuckinthe option to update. How can I change the update to be on my apple ID. Or how to just open my iphoto without updating.

    The previous owner should have erased the computer and restored it to the original state, she or he purchased it. This document describes how to transfer a Mac -see the link:  What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
    Software bought from the App Store is inherently associated with the AppleID of the person who bought it and must not be transferred to a new user.
    Any software you are using, that is associated with the Apple ID of another person, is pirated software, and you are not entitled to use it or update it. You will have to purchase your own copies of the software, if you want to be able to update it.

  • Elements 10 will not read RAW files from my new Lumix G5

    All my RAW files taken with Lumix G1 are fine but the RAW files from my new camera (Lumix G5) won't open. What should I do?
    Looking at help in E10, it says ACR is version 6.7.0.339
    Elements 10 is version 10.0 (20110831.m.17215)
    Any ideas?

    You need at least ACR 7.2 for those raw files, and ACR 7 is not compatible with PSE 10. So you have three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE 11 (not the mac app store version, which is stuck at 7.1). If you are considering this, I would wait a month or so, since Adobe historically releases a new version every Sept/Oct.
    2. Use the panasonic software (silky pics?) to convert the raw files and send the resulting images to PSE for further processing.
    3. Download the free adobe DNG converter, which can create DNG files that are compatible with your version of ACR.

  • Adobe will not create PDF files anymore

    I have been using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 on my laptop for years, suddenly it stopped working.  I try to reinstall and it won't activate so I still can't use it..  Why????

    Hi dc78070165,
    I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist. 
    Please refer to the following KB doc.  Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    The above link will help you to  install a special version that does not require activation.
    In case you further need any help, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.

  • I have downloaded footage from a Sony Z1 on to a hard drive which I've put on to my Mac Book Pro and it will not read in iMovie. Can somebody help me?

    I shot three  video clips on a Sony Z1 camera. As I only had the cable to plug it in to my PC, I uploaded the footage on to the PC and then copied it on to my hard drive. I then put the hard drive into my MacBook Pro so that I could continue to edit it on there, however it will not read the files. The audio is WAV and the video footage has come up as M2V files. I need to be able to import it in to iMovie to edit however it is not letting me do so.
    Is it because they are M2V's or do I need to upload the footage directly on to the MacBook and not on to a PC first?
    If anyone could help, it would be massively appreciated! Thanks in advance!
    Mollie

    re-post in the iMovie forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie.  Good luck.

  • New Adobe Reader will not older version files

    Is that true : Adobe is likely to come out with a new version of Adobe reader that will not read Acrobat files which are created in older versions like 6 or 7

    It is true that newer Reader versions are more sensitive to old (or new) documents that contain errors.  But for correct documents, all new Reader versions are fully backwards compatible.
