I can't get adobe reader to work

I updated to the OS  X 10.7.3 and now the adobe reader won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this or what I can do???

Ok so you are trying to open internet pdf links in you browser. The latest version of Adobe Reader doesn't work with Mac browsers. In the finder navigate to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and trash any Adobe plug-ins that are in that folder. You will have to enter your password to do that. Safari should then open pdf files with its built in pdf reader. If you are using Firefox then you should add the Schubert PDF Plug-In to it. If you don't have a specific need for the Adobe Reader then you would be better off uninstalling it and using the Preview app for your pdfs.

  • 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?

  • I can't get Adobe Reader to work on my MAC OS X 10.8.5

    I have installed the newest version of Adobe Reader and when I go to print pdf document it won't open the document at all and says I need to install the latest version of Adobe Reader. I keep repeating all the steps only to keep having the same problem.

    The lack of security updates requires me to update any old OS. Unless you never connect to anything on the Internet with the computer OR you never have anything to protect on your computer running such a computer leaves you open to theft, fraud, etc. The major problem with Mavericks and soon with OS X.X is unfamiliarity. Sure they have features we don’t like. But I bet so did the one you are running, when you upgraded to it.
    Having said that I really got miffed when I was required to update my TV to work with digital signals. I have no trouble telling people to upgrade their computer, but ask me to upgrade my TV those were fighting words.

  • Can't open pdf items in safari, and can't get adobe reader installed/working

    can't open pdf documents/can't download and open adobe reader on imac

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 4
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 5
    Do as in Step 3 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

  • Can't Get Adobe Reader 8.1 to Open in Windows XP

    All of a sudden, I can't get Adobe Reader to open in the Windows XP environment on my laptop. Message: "Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close..." [Error Signature: AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: mvcr70.dl ModVer: 7.0.9466.0 Offset: 000013d6] Have tried everything I could think of: uninstalling previous versions, reinstalling 8.1 from the website, disabling Norton 360 protection while downloading. Anybody know what gives and how to fix it?

    >When this many people are having this many problems with the program, Adobe has a problem.
    For every one person that's having a problem here, there could be fifty more that aren't.
    The ones that aren't typically don't come here and talk about it.
    >If you read through the Adobe Bulletin Boards you can see that there are many, many people having trouble with Adobe Reader 8.1.
    And if you read far enough to see the solutions, you'll notice a big trend in user errors.
    I'm not saying Reader doesn't have it's issues (sure it does), just saying that there are no more issues with it than there are with any application.

  • I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

    I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

    Hello Pat,
    Thank you for getting back to me.  I have a table with columns in it and I’m trying to copy just one of the columns, think of it as a stock table you would get in a newspaper and I just want to copy the column that has all the symbols in it.  I use to be able to do this with no problem in previous versions of Adobe Reader by just putting my cursor next to the column I wanted, holding down the Alt key and selecting the data I wanted .  But with the new version that came with my new laptop running Window 8.0 I can not  accomplish this task.  Adobe Reader wants to copy everything in the table.  I would take a screen shot to show you, but when I open Reader, it takes over my entire screen and I can not get back to my task bar or desktop without closing the app.  If you could also tell me how to correct or adjust this annoyance I would appreciate it.   Needless to say I’m not currently a big fan of the new version of Reader.  Is there any way I can go back to a previous version of the product with Windows 8 as my OS?
    Thanks you for your help with this,
    Ed

  • Can I get Adobe Reader for Nokia 109 Cellphone?

    Can I get Adobe Reader for Nokia 109 Cellphone?

    Dear Mr Patt,
    Thanks. As I understand, Nokia does its customised Java based application that acts on low end devices like Nokia 109, as an OS. Therefore, I do not see any solutions available from Adobe.
    Thanks.
    The responses are comforting.
    Regards.
    ps: Wish someone would tell whether there is any third party Java based pdf reader for such non-OS environments?

  • Can't get adobe reader out of system - it always blocks opening items other than PDF files.

    I can't get rid of Adobe reader.  Want to get back to making Preview my browser default source.  Can't get this solution to work.
    Either "File"- "Get Info" in the menu bar or press Cmd-I. This will give you a pop up screen where you have an section called "Open with".  Go there, select Preview as the application to open the document with, press the "Change All" button and confirm.

    Remove Adobe plug ins, if any.

  • How to get Adobe Reader to work in browsers on linux

    I am running LMDE 64 bit on one PC and a X-enabled Ubuntu Server installation on another (also 64 bit).
    Is it possible, under either of these scenarios to get Adobe Reader plugin to work on any browser?
    I need to access pdf files using Adobe Reader inside a browser. My preference is Google Chrome, but happy to use Firefox too.
    Currently, when I use Chrome, I have turned off the built-in Chrome PDF Viewer, as it does not handle the forms I need to use. But now when selecting a pdf, the only option is to download and open it in Adobe itself, which also does not work for my needs.
    In Firefox, the settings for content handling on pdf only gives the option to open it outside of Firefox... again, no good.
