How do I get adobe reader to work on windows 8?

I adobe 6 on windows 8.  It won't work when I try to print anything, telling me the program cannot be found.  When I try to reinstall a newer version, I'm told my existing adobe is not compatible, but I can't reinstall because I'm told I already have it installed. 
Help!

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

Then, download the full offline Reader installer from 
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

  • How do I get Adobe reader to work with Mozilla or internet explorer? I cannot open files unless I download to my desktop.

    When I try to read PDF files I get a message that says" The Adobe Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Exit and try again. This happens with bot Internet Explorer and Mozilla. I can only open if I download the document to my desktop.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when we got our windows 7.

  • How can I get Adobe Reader XI working correctly?

    Last week, I had issues with opening any PDF. After suggestions given here and trying several other things, my husband ran Kaspersky's task killer and the good news is that I can now open Adobe files on my hard drive. Unfortunately, I'm unable to open PDFs from any websites. It looks like they going to launch but nothing ever completes/opens. Windows updated last night and now I received an overall Internet Explorer error whenever I try to launch a PDF from a site. Local documents still open fine. Thoughts?

    1. What's your IE version?
    2. What kind of error do you receive? Attaching the screenshot will be helpful.
    3. Would opening the local document in IE work? (In IE, choose File > Open (or just CTRL+O), and choose any PDF file stored in your local hard drive.)
    4. Would following the steps listed here fix the problem?

  • 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,
