How do I overcome it when Adobe Reader says "Memory Full" and won't open attachments?

When I try to open email attachments with adobe reader it refuses with the comment, "Memory full". Hoqw do i fix this problem? I have tried deleting some things I scanned in as Adobe but this has not worked.---mintpie---

What is your Reader version? What is your email client? If it's web-based mail, in what browser?
Is the message really just "Memory full"? Can you post a screenshot of that message?
Can you download that attachemtn to your local disk first, then open it from there?

Adobe Reader is shutting down and won't open

Adobe Reader is shutting down and won't open, can i get some support?

Some things to try...
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

Adobe Reader 9.4.2 - PDFs won't open in IE 8 & IE 9

The recent Adobe Reader 9.4.2 is causing issues with PDFs opening in IE 8 and 9 browsers. Prior to this update our users have had no issues with opening PDFs generated by our website.
Our website generates USPS labels using Siberix ReportWriter software. We have not released any updates for at least a month. Again, before the release of Adobe Reader 9.4.2, there was no issues with our website's PDFs opening in IE browsers.
User System Specs:
Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 Ultimate
Adobe Reader 9.4.2
Internet Explorer 8 - "File Download" window issue
Internet Explorer 9 - "File Download" window issue
Firefox 3.6.13 - No Issues
Chrome 9.0.597.98 (with Adobe Reader 9.4.2 plugin enabled and Chrome PDF Viewer disabled) - No Issues
The "File Download" window states the following (in addition to a Save and a Cancel button): "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupt or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download. ..."
We have the following workarounds to address this issue with our customers, but they are not ideal:
Update to Adobe Reader X
Disable "Display PDF in browser" Reader option
Don't update Adobe Reader 9 to 9.4.2
Install other PDF Reading software.
Any solutions to this issue would be appriciated.
Thanks

We are experiencing the same problem, as I mentioned below. I did some research and experimentation, and have a ... workaround. It's not completely satisfactory, but we will go with it until we have a complete solution. Perhaps the following will help others and spur some research in the right direction.
First, a quick review. The problem does not occur with PDFs located on disk; it only occurs with direct streaming of PDF data. Let's also note that the problem does NOT occur with other browsers, e.g. FireFox. So ... technically the problem is not an Adobe Reader problem and we're all on the wrong forum.
My specialty is databases and I'm certainly no expert in this area, but from what I'm able to gather the problem is instead with how IE is recognizing and responding to the MIME type of the streamed data. We're all setting the contenttype to "application/pdf" (or similar) or we wouldn't even be here. But I'm concluding that something - some windows update - has changed the way IE on clients or (in my case) IIS on the server is handling that data stream. If any of you experiencing this issue have servers other than IIS, then the problem is on the client side, I'd say.
Aaaaaanyway, the following articles are old, but helped me:
http://forums.asp.net/p/1036628/1436084.aspx
http://www.techper.net/2008/02/27/4-ways-to-stream-pdf-and-some-tips/
To cut to the chase, the workaround we're going with for now is to add the following to the http response header (this is C#/ASP.NET code):
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=myfile.pdf");
That causes a popup dialog to appear asking the user to open or save the PDF, something that is familiar to most everyone. If the user asks to open the file, it appears in a browser window just as it did before this problem occurred. Again, this is a temporary solution, but at least the user can see the PDF data in a browser with one extra mouse click.
If an Adobe tech support person or anyone with more experience in this area knows the final solution, I'd LOVE to hear it. Please reply here or in email.
Thanks and good luck all.

I have Adobe Acrobat installed and recently updated and just downloaded Adobe Reader, which is running, and still cannot open a PDF.

Nothing happens. I get the same screen that tells me to download the computer.

You'll need to right-click, download the pdf and use File>Open from within Reader. That combination is not supported any more. Chrome broke it.

How is your signature protected on adobe reader when sending documents?

How is your signature protected on adobe reader when sending documents?

It isn't signing in. I hope someone can explain this better than me but it goes something like this.
To sign you make a certificate. Either you buy the certificate from a trusted source, or you make a special public certificate, and send that to all your contacts. This sending is special - you can't just email it, because it could be a fake. People need to know it's real, perhaps by arrangement.
Anyway, people are now set to look at a PDF which says YOU signed it. They can check if the certificate you used matches the public certificate you sent. If it does, the file is unaltered. If it doesn't it is a fake. Plus, there is a third case - it might be your real signature then someone changed the PDF. But thanks to the certificate, when you validate you are told about that too.
Certificates, the law, signing and that area are complex, and you need to understand before you start. It's easy to make worthless signed documents.
By the way, I've no idea if any of this clever stuff works on iOS!!

What do you mean you are "using Adobe Reader'? Inside of a browser? Inside of your application? Stand-alone?

I want to install Adobe Reader for an attachment that I cannot open. The Keychain comes up with password. I forgot my password how do I retrieve it?

You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

How do you keyboard scroll an Adobe Reader document the same way as a web page?

When I use the up and down arrows using a browser it simply scroll the page as a whole, not line for line. I can not seem to figure out how to do the same with Adobe Reader. I often have 2 column documents (similar to newspaper width) and find it frustrating scrolling as the cursor jumps around. It's not a smooth transition at all. I am often frustrated with this. How can I fix it? I searched and google and did not find anything. Automatic scroll is the closest I can get it to work. Seems like such a simple task is made complicated.

Windows 7. Document being opened directly with Adobe Reader X 10.1.8.24.
Like I said in the original post I'm using the arrow keys. The page up keys are for scrolling entire pages. I want to smooth scroll as you can with browsers. Can't seem to figure it out. The page keys are choppy and it's easy to loose your place this way. Using the arrow keys only scrows a cursor on the last page the cursor was on. If I skip from page 1 to 10 for example, and my cursor is still sitting on page 1, if I hit the arrow key, it brings me back to page 1. I experience this on ALL systems using Adobe Reader.

How to obtain a refund for Adobe Reader? I should have bought Acrobat. Tony

For years I could use the free Adobe to create pdfs from my scanner, but
something happened about 4 months ago when I could no longer do that. The
File menu no longer had the sub-menu "create pdfs using scanner". Oh I
could still use my scanner (from the scanner itself) but you are limited to
a page at a time. So if you had a 6 page document you had to send 6
separate pdfs from the scanner to the desktop and when emailing them to
someone you had add 6 separate attachements to the email. Not very
efficient compared to before when all 6 pages could be combined in one pdf.

How do I delete documents from Adobe Reader?

I frequently edit bulletins and such for church, that I then no longer need to have taking up space on my computer. How do I delete them from Adobe Reader?

Reader does not contain files, it only opens them. You need to find where the files are located on your computer, browse to that folder (via My Computer), select them and press Delete, just like with any other file-type.

How to test a plug_in without Adobe Reader Integration Key?

I havge a project to create a plug_in for acrobat reader with Adobe Acrobat 8.1 SDK. I also apply for the Adobe Reader Integration Key, but I have not it by now. But deadline of the project is coming, is there any one who can tell me how to test the plug_in without Adobe Reader Integration Key?
I also have another question, does the plug_in I make with Adobe Acrobat 8.1 SDK can be compatible for all the version of Acrobat reader, such as 7.0, 8.0 and so on? Thank you.

You test the plug-in, as well you can, using Acrobat. You also build
it using the preprocessor options to build a Reader plug-in, so you
don't accidentally use an API not in Reader.
If you are saying, is there w way around the Integration key for
testing in Reader, the answer is no.
Different Reader keys and tools are needed for each version of Reader.
You will probably not get a key for an old version of Reader.
