Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like the crash logs.

I am having trouble with my adobe reader

I am having trouble with my adobe reader. I am not able to access my report I am supposed to be working on that is time sensitive. I have had tech support for 2 days trying to trouble shoot. They have done all they can do and told me to call Adobe. I cannot find an number anywhere.

Look on the "Contacts" page.

Downloading a trial - problem with the Adobe Download Assistant

Q: What is the Adobe Download Assistant?
A: Trial versions of Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop Elements, and Adobe Premiere Elements are downloaded using the Adobe Download Assistant — a small application that is meant to improve download reliability and avoid issues that commonly occur during large downloads, such as frequent disconnects. After the trial product is downloaded, Adobe Download Assistant should automatically start installing the product.
Q: I installed the Adobe Download Assistant, but my trial didn't download?
A: Under certain conditions, the Adobe Download Assistant installs but does not immediately start downloading the trial product. If this happens:
1. Quit the Adobe Download Assistant.
2. In your browser, return to the product trial download page on Adobe.com. Refresh the page, then click the Download now button again and follow the prompts.
Important: When you start the download, be sure to select your User folder or Desktop folder. A common cause of errors are due to attempts to download the Adobe Download Assistant to the Program Files/Applications folder. The Adobe Download Assistant only downloads the trial application files. Once the download is complete it will launch the application installer; when the installer is launched you can then choose to install the actual trial application into the Program Files/Application folder.
For more info, see
Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
or
Adobe Download Assistant FAQ
Q: I've have a problem on Windows 7. The download manager just sits there, and does nothing, even after I navigate back to the trial page. It turns out that you can't install Flash in the Programs folder. You have to pick a different folder for ADA to actually work?
A: You are correct, the Adobe Download Assistant does not have sufficient permission to save files to the Program Files folder. If you run the Adobe Download Assistant as an administrator, or save to a different location (for example, in your Users folder), this should resolve the issue.
Q: When I try and download the Creative Suite Design Premium the Download Assistant opens and I log in. On the top it says "Welcome, User" but on the bottom right below the action bar for the download it says "Sign in ith your Adobe ID to continue" and the action/download bar just sits there. I have quit and restarted numerous times and even left it running all night. Nothing is working though. I have Windows 7 Home Premium and see no error messages.
A: Try opening your browser by right-clicking in the start-programs menu and select "Run as Administrator".
Q: I am trying to download the Premiere trial version onto Windows. I had no issues installing Adobe Download Assistant, however when I tried to log in, it came up with error 100, claiming it could not communicate with the internet.
A: Many of the errors which forum users are experiencing with the download process is due to trying to download to the Program Files/Applications folder. This seems to cause Error 100, 101, 107, and even problems with being able to extract the install files after the download completes. The Adobe Download Assistant is only downloading the install files. Once the download is complete it will then launch the installer. Once the installer itself is launched you can then install to the Program Files/Application folder.
Q: I've tried everything and nothing works. I'm really frustrated and I don't know what else to do. How can I download a trial?
A: Another way to get trials of Adobe software is to sign-up for a Free Creative Cloud Membership. With Creative Cloud Membership you can download full, downloadable 30-day trials of all our CS6 Master Collection straight to your desktop, and store up to 2GB of files. Alternately, you can review http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 which provides information on how to obtain direct downloads.

I have suddenly become computer illiterate... that's the only conclusion I can draw from my total failure to install the Premiere Pro CS6 trial version for Mac.
Step1: I downloaded the Adobe Downloader Assistant installer and installed ADA in the default location (/Applications), which then was followed by said ADA launch. I logged in, selected PP and started a 2 hrs download of a 1.7 GB file.
Step2: I come back after a while and find a nice DVD icon on my Desktop, reading PP CS6: Great! I quit ADA and open that folder, to find another folder in it, with 3 subfolders and an "Install" application. Click on it. Nada. Reclick on it. Same + an error -1704 "can't open application".
Step3-30: I am cutting a long story short, but after reading all the support threads I could find, trying to reinstall ADA on my desktop, relog on the website, restart and cancel PP CS6 download a few times (without ADA noticing that there was already a 1.7 GB corresponding to that same file), and repeatedly failed to launch the install.app, I decided to act stupidely and remove all files and go to:
Step 31: reinstall ADA, re-download PP CS6.
Step 32: I waited after the install, nothing happened so I went to the new PP CS6 "DVD" and found the "install" app, which reliably did not start anything.
Step 33: I rebooted. After the reboot, the DVD was gone, replaced by an empty folder of the same name...
Step 34: me typing all this... I am using a 2011 iMac running Lion and Creative Suite CS 5.5. Thanks for any pointers...

Problems downloading with the Adobe Download Assistant behind a proxy

I'm attemtping to use Adobe Download Assistant from behind a proxy (specifically, one created by an IronPort data appliance). Is there a way to set proxy information within Adobe Download Manager? It doesn't seem to be pulling my system's settings, so attempting to download a product results in 101 errors no matter the destination.

Branched this out to a separate discussion.
The Adobe Download Assistant will use the proxy configuration for your computer. If it is being blocked then please ensure that your proxy is configured to allow the Adobe Download Assistant to connect to the Internet.

I am facing difficulties downloading with the Adobe Download Assistant.

I'm having the same troubles... can not install Flash Professional.. had no issues installing many others packages a couple weeks ago.
been trying since yesterday to get this installed and just keep getting errors in Adobe Download Manager.
I think you guys are having problems with Akamai ... that's my 2 cents.
why aren't they fixing this?

actually Jeff, it was the Adobe Application Manager.. my mistake.
however, I get the same error as others have been seeing:
"retrying..."
"unable to reach adobe servers. Please check your internet connectiviity, firewall settings, and try again."
sometimes it will get to 1% sometimes it will get to 2% and continues with the error messages.
the pdapp logs show these.. alot:

Help I made a boob. I was having trouble with my Adobe authorisation in my Override app, it suddenly wouldn't accept my password so I couldn't download books. I tried everything I could think of but no use. Finally I had a brainwave I would change my e

Help please,
i've made a catalogue of mistakes. I've had an Overdrive app for ages to access library books which was great but this is what happened-
1. Suddenly a message kept coming up each time I logged in saying Adobe acct ........... is saved in your overdrive acct do you want to deauthorise or authorise. I kept clicking on authorise but thought it might be better to deauthorise and authorise it properly in settings. I tried this but my Adobe ID didn't work- nothing came up to say it was wrong but I kept getting thrown back to the authorisation screen and could not get any further or download books. I did check my password was okay by signing into my Adobe account and it was the only one I had which I had used when I upgraded to I.o.s.7 and it was fine.
I tried logging in and out, resetting my overdrive acct and eventually deleted the overdrive app and then reinstating it but nothing worked.
2. I decided if I got a new Adobe acct using my google email address then authorising the Adobe reader through this might work. However. It all seemed to go well I created the account then put all the details into my overdrive acct. thought this was going well but I got a message as I tried to download a book 'fulfil code 2004' , saying another ID could not be used. I'm now stuck it won't allow me to try my original ID.
Can anyone help help me out of this mess and can I delete an Adobe ID once created please?

Here is a link which describes the process for changing an Adobe ID:

I'm having trouble with my Adobe ID singing in on my Android Tablet

I couldn't find anywhere on the Adobe Site to Click onto ADOBE ID

'tis a moot point, if you're looking to install or download Flash Player, because you can't, with Android. There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer comaptible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.
Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store.

I am having trouble with the Adobe CC and the Premiere Pro.

I have clicked to install it so I could test it, so far so good. After downloading and installing it through the Adobe CC, I can't find it and can't open it. If i click on the Premier logo nothing happens and I can't find it installed anywhere on my pc! The only place where I see it is on the bit to uninstall programs, and when I try to do so, it says 'uninstalling error.' How do I sort this out??

CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

I'm having trouble with installing Adobe Flash Player

everything I using on the web tells me I need the update for Adobe Flash Player-birthday cad sites and such... So I install it but instead of just finishing step 3 - install complete - I get an advertisement for an additional application for $9.99 a month - which I have no need for so I just close that tab window.... I've tried restart, shut down, and a few other things but to no avail.... go to the site I want to send from and I get the same update message - but no viewing of the card or product I 'm looking for.... anyone know what I need to do?
I've search it out through Finder and it is in there in applications all of them (apps) from 2007 to 2015 - something isn't right.... right?
can you guys help? thanks, ohyes

The big Step 1 button that says Install doesn't install anything. It downloads the installer to your Mac. Note that Step 2 tells you what to do next:
To proceed, open your download folder and locate the Adobe Flash Player Installer file, named like "AdobeFlashPlayer[xxx]_install.dmg”.
The file you'll find there should be named:
AdobeFlashPlayer_17_ta_install.dmg
Double click the .dmg file to open it. You'll see this:
Click the "Install Adobe Flash Player" package. When the installation is done, you can close this window and dismount the .dmg file by putting the "drive" icon that appeared on the desktop in the trash. You can then delete the .dmg file as you no longer need it.
The Step 3 Adobe shows is completely pointless.

Why am I having trouble with an adobe webfont?

I am using the playball font on quite a few of my pages and it changes sometimes to a different font or it just does not display the content written in that font. Does anyone know why this is doing this?

Hi,
Are you using Chrome? Please see http://muse.adobe.com/exchange-library/chrome-33-webfont-workaround-1
Also note that once Chrome fixes the issue you'll want to remove the suggested workaround and re-publish the site.
Thanks,
Abhishek

How do I download Photoshop Elements with the Adobe Download Assistant?

It used to be pretty straight forward, you would launch ADA and it would show all the programs available for download.
Now it just shows "Products you may like", which doesn't show Elements (at least not that I can find).
So how do I get Photoshop Elements? Am I looking in the wrong place?

If you have tried a different web browser and are still facing problems please try initiating a direct download of the software by following the steps listed at http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l. Please be advised that you need to complete the Very Important Instructions section prior to clicking on the link to download the software.
