How do I get Adobe Reader Access back?

I received a bad Windows Update.  To fix the problem, Dell created a new Windows User ID for me.  It also is set as administrator (just like the first one).  I'm  trying to open a PDF.  When I launch it from Windows Explorer I see "There was an error opening this document.  Access Denied."  when I try to open it from Adobe Reader, I see "Your don't have permission to open this file.  Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission."  How do I get access to Adobe Reader?  I can open Microsoft Word files, so I don't think it's the general ID access issue.

Check the permissions of the folder (and all its content) where these PDFs reside.  Obviously your new user ID does not have permission to access these documents (nothing to do with Adobe Reader).

  • How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

    How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

    I too am looking into this issue for someone at my work and hoping someone can provide a resolution for this nuisance.
    It is correct that that Auto Portrait/Landscape is usually set to default for Adobe Reader XI. One day, Portrait was randomly switched as the default setting. Granted the setting could be set back to Auto on a per file basis, this slowed down the time to mass print several landscape reports.  The problem only occurred under one Windows account profile while other user accounts defaulted to Auto as expected. Uninstalling the software, clearing out all Adobe traces from Programs/Program Data/Application Data/Registry, and reinstalling the software did not make any difference. All printer preferences/configurations were the same amongst the different user accounts.
    While it would sound like rebuilding that one person's profile would be the final solution, it wouldn't be ideal to reconfigure the several remote connections with banks and hospitals (we're an anesthesia billing company) on a new profile for what might be a simple, yet elusive fix to this print setting. I have noticed other posts on other sites mention this issue, but no resolutions have been provided yet. I'm sure part of what makes this difficult to resolve is the inability to replicate this issue elsewhere.

  • How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

    How do I get Adobe reader to be recognized on my Devices and Printers?

    CutePDFWriter is a third-party application, which Adobe doesn't provide support for. But, I did find the following on their website:
    "Requires PS2PDF converter such as Ghostscript (recommended).
    You can get the free GPL Ghostscript 8.15."
    Here's a link to their website:
    CutePDF :: Product :: CutePDF Writer
    So, it looks like it creates a PostScript file for you, but then you need additional software to convert the PostScript file to PDF.
    Best,

  • In Yosemite, How can I get the "READER" button back in the Tool Bar at the top of the screen

    In OS X Yosemite,
    How can I get the "READER" button back in the Tool Bar for Safari at the top of the screen ?
    Thanks,

    I don't see the "READER button".
    I see "READ LATER" but not the "READER" function.
    Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
    Please continue to HELP ME with this question.
    In the previous version of Safari, there was a "READER Button" on the right side of the tool bar. This brings up the selected web page in a READER mode all by itself, without the ads, etc.
    Are you saying that I can get this function by clicking on the Left side of the Address bar?
    When I do that, I get lots of icons, but NOT the READER button.
    Thanks
