Why is my mac not able to open pdf files?

Why is my mac not able to open pdf files?

my internet session closes down and a box appears saying this
[The Application Safari quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the Acrobat plug in. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Relaunch to relaunch the application again, Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple]

I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments. When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open. I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen. It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled. It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted. In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server". On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off. Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either. I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before. I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem. I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist. I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem. I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

Not able to open pdf file

I am not able to open PDF file of size greater than 700 Mb in my surface tab?

Hi there @Delta0 and welcome to the community!
I understand you can scan however, you cannot open up the PDF file afterwards.
Please let me know which operating system you are running and I will certainly look into this issue for you.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
In the meantime, try updating Adobe to see if that helps.
Have a great day

Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

Hello,
Please see the support article below for full information on viewing PDF in Firefox:
[[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]
If you want to use Firefox's built in PDF viewer (i.e. not a plugin) then you will need to ensure that any PDF plugins are uninstalled from Firefox and that 'Preview in Firefox' is selected as the Action for PDF files (see screenshot below).
I hope that helps. Let me know if not.

Not able to open PDF files

Not able to open PDF files. Before I switched to Lion OS, clicking on a pdf would automatically open it in Adobe Reader. Now I either get a black page or I get just the first page of the document but still in Safari. I would like the pdf to open Adobe Reader. I have tried some of the suggestions in other threads such as deleting all PDF items from Library/Internet Plug-Ins. That did not work.

Hi ,
Make sure to back up your Mac before messing around with any system files.
Press and hold COMMAND + TAB to bring up your Mac’s application switcher, then keep tapping the TAB key while still holding down the COMMAND key until the selector lands on Finder. When it does, go ahead and release the COMMAND and TAB keys.
Click on the Go menu at the top of the screen, select “Go to folder…” then copy and paste this folder “path” into the pop-up window:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
A new folder window will appear, showing a list of all the browser plug-ins installed in Safari—and at the very top (if the list is sorted alphabetically), you should see one or more files labeled “AdobePDFViewer.” Drag the old Adobe plug-ins into the Trash, then quit and restart Safari.
Try opening a PDF in Safari again—and yes, it should work, using Safari’s own “native” PDF reader.
Now, want to open PDFs in Safari using a fresh Adobe PDF Viewer plug-in? Try this:
Visit this page to download and install the latest (and free) version of Adobe Reader.
Quit and re-launch Safari, then open a PDF file directly in the browser; when you do, the PDF should open using your new Adobe Reader plug-in.

Moving this to Adobe Reader forum, as I believe you're describing a Reader issue (not a FormsCentral issue).

Not able to open PDF files from Web

Sometimes reader 9.3.1 in IE on Windows 7 stops working and it is not possible to display any more PDF files from web. Reinstall helps for a while.
By looking into running programs I found the acrobroker.exe starts and immediatelly shuts down. After a while IE responds with a generic acrobat problem that asks me to shutdown acrobat reader and start it again.
Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
I think the binary file conversion was not done properly( you haven't filled bin_pdfx, its the otf_data ). OR, Use CONVERT_OTF FM and pass format as PDF. Check this document for reference: Opening a Smartform in Web Dynpro ABAP
Hope this helps u,

I am not able to open my file! Captivate 5

I don’t know who else to send this to right now, but I have been working on a project that is DUE. I am not sure why, but I am not able to open the file. Please help me are direct me to someone that can.
Here's the error message received:
Adobe Captivate could not open, "file name" Ensure that:
File is not open already
File is not damaged
The hard disk has enough space
Close all windows
I need this file open asap.
And yes...I cleared the Cache

Hello,
This is by design: I failed to explain well. The file exists as long as the file is open, sort of protection that it is not changed by someone else. It will disappear when you close the file. But the first error message at your originial question pointed perhaps to the fact that the file was not closed in a normal way, hence the lock file was perhaps still there. If you deleted the lock file you could have opened the file again, it was no longer protected. Hope my explanation is now a bit clear?
