I can't complete any PDF downloads with Adobe Reader

I had Adobe Reader X with this problem then uninstalled X, then installed Adobe Reader XI and still I can't complete any PDF file downloads on Explorer with Windows 8 with out the explorer downloader document page crashing. Then some times when I have the option to "save to" the PDF doc to a download file I can open it from there. Most all existing PDF files open fine.

UPDATE!!!!
I had to fix it my self!!!
No more than just one person (thanks) tried to help me out!
I FIXED IT....
The problem was you could say a self conflict of Adobe reader. The software would not shut down any instances. It just would not quit, weather I had turned off my PC or otherwise. If I tried to run a instance of Adobe reader then failed, then tried again, the number of times I tried would still continue and would not stop when trying to "End Task" with the "Task Manager" in the "processes" section, then when I did succeeded inaddition to "Processes" was more in the "Details" section of "Task Manager" that would not stop!!
I down loaded "Acrobat Cleaner" and ran it immediately selecting Adobe Reader to be removed, after startup of my PC and it removed all installations.
I then proceeded to find all other "Adobe Reader" downloaded files and just dragged them to the Recycle bin.
That then gave me the chance to do a very clean install, and it worked with out faltering.
If you are having any major problems, do a clean out of Adobe Reader of all old versions and install the one that suits your computer.
Acrobat Reader now loads very fast, like I mean very fast!!

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Any suggestions?

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

Which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9?

Hello,
which API can use to save PDF document with Adobe Reader 9? It is said that "CosDocSaveWithParams" can't be used.
thanks!
jimmy

Unless the PDF file is "READER ENABLED for SAVE" (see the adobe product pages on LiveCycle Reader extensions server)
You are not able to call a Save at all, if the document is reader enabled then you need to use the JavaScript call to save the document,
As you appear to be wanting to do this in a plug-in you would need to call the script from a plug-in, this can be done using the AFExecuteThisScript () function call.
Please note that this does will fail if the document is not reader enabled for save and you need to include the Forms HFT in your plug-in,
This plug-in would also have to be approved by Adobe to be used with the reader and as you are implementing a function that is available in the full Acrobat product this may not be a straight forward approval.

Hi Ajlan,
To fix my problem, i uninstalled adobe reader X with "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool", rebooted the server, installed Adobe Reader XI and rebooted again.
For some users, this fix the problem but with some others i had to define Adobe Reader by default again.
I tried without use "Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Cleaner Tool" before and adobe reader X wasn't really uninstall.
Thanks,

Can't open any PDF file with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

I have tried to open multiple Acrobat files but none will open. I get a FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server." I've created documents in word and publisher and am able to convert to pdf format but after the pdf file has been created I cannot open to view and I get the error message. Please help! Thank you!

No I am thinking that the problem is with Acrobat XI Pro. Because as previously noted I can create a Word document and save as a PDF, the PDF document will be created by Acrobat XI Pro but will not open with Acrobat XI Pro, which normally happens automatically upon creating the PDF file from say Word, Exel, Publisher, etc. When I try to open with Acrobat XI Pro it give me the FATAL ERROR message saying: "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server". Since I could not open any of my PDF documents with Acrobta XI Pro, because I had Acrobat XI Pro as my default PDF creater and reader, I installed Adobe Reader, hoping that it would allow me to view the PDF documents that I had just created with Acrobat XI Pro and it did. The problem is that I cannot open Acrobat XI Pro to creat or edit or add PDF restrictions on a PDF document straight from Acrobat XI Pro, but I can create a, say Word document, and save as a PDF file. Before installing Adobe Reader I could not open, see or edit the just created PDF file created through Word it is just now after installing Acrobat Reader.
Also worth noting.
I have been told that this same problem happened sometime ago with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Vesion 10) and that the problem was fixed by editing something within the registry. Does anyone know anything about that? Thanks!

What is your operating system? Reader version?

Can't print any PDFs after installing adobe Reader x version 10 - help!

I am using Windows XP professional SP 3 and Google Chrome as a web browser.
Everything worked OK until the upgrade to Reader 10 - I have removed the Adobe reader and reinstalled and no luck.
I am not able to print PDF's from the internet nor within other programs.
What should I do?
Thanks

This helped me out, works perfectly now. (using OS 10.8.5)
Remove from the folder /Library/Internet Plug-Ins:
1) AdobePDFViewer.plugin
2) AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
backup these plugins - just in case.

Very strange! What is your installed Reader version?
Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Problem opening pdf files with Adobe Reader in Windows 7

I bought a new Dell (Inspiron 5110) with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium (Version 6.1 SP1, 64 bit) and pre-installed Adobe Reader X (10.1.1). I cannot open ANY of my old pdf files with the Adobe reader (even after I re-installed the Adobe Reader). On another computer with Windows 7 I get the same error message. When I installed several other pdf-readers (Sumatra, Foxit, ..) I can still not open the pdf's -- but all the pdf's still open under Windows XP on my old computer and they also open on all my colleagues' non-Windows 7 computers. So it appears to be a Windows 7 problem. The Adobe error message says 'Adobe Reader could not open _.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (…..).
N.B.: I can download pdf files from the internet and can then open these 'new' pdf files with Adobe Reader X.
N.B.2.: Most of the 'old' pdf files are scientific articles downloaded from various journal websites 2002-2011, so their quality should be out of question.
N.B.3.:I've transfered the files via memory stick and portable HD.
N.B.4.: If I try to open the pdf's via 'Open with' the problem remains the same.
N.B.5.: When, on my Win7 Dell, I've uploaded/attached one of these old pdf files to an email the rtecipient could not tead it. But he could read it when I'd sent the same file from my old Win XP computer.
N.B.6.: I have repeated this last observation: When I upload an old pdf file on my Win7 Dell to my email account and then send it to myself, I cannot open/read it on my Win XP (nor on the Dell, of course). Although the file size is precisely the same.
N.B.7.: When I download a new pdf on my Dell, then upload/attach it to an email also on the Dell and send it to myself, I can download and read the attached pdf on both computers.
Would be grateful for any suggestions.

This is really strange.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I can understand, any PDF which is launched on your Win 7 OS fails to open, even though the same file works perfectly fine on your Win XP machine?
Could you please run a full system anti virus scan on the said PDFs that are present on your local system. It could be a case of infected PDFs.
Also, it would be great if you could try and download some of the erroneous PDFs from the web again, and see if you experience the same behavior.
Thanks
Ankit
