I can't open pdf's--since getting newer version of adobe reader

I am using a desktop Mac OSX 10.9.2 and my adobe reader is version 9.5.5

Version 9.5.5 is not the newer version. In fact, it's quite old so that might be the problem. It may be too old for your OS.
Download and install Adobe Reader XI.

  • PDF Form Requires a newer version of Adobe Reader

    New at this...Created my form in Live Cycle 8.0/Professional 8. Throughout company we are using Acrobat Reader 7.0 and are not at this time looking to upgrade. When our users open this form, get "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader..." and prompts them to upgrade. Is there anyway I can get rid of this message...a way to make my form know that users will be opening in 7.0 and accept without error?
    Also, I'm not able to get the Submit to Email button to work...getting "This operation is not permitted"...how can I fix?
    Funny thing is I had been able to get the e-mail button to work at one time, but now, all of the sudden, it doesn't want to work...even on my machine which has Live Cycle/Professional 8 loaded?????
    Thanks!

    Geo,
    Thanks for the quick response. Tried and received: "This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.
    Help...thanks again

  • Designer form prompts Reader X error:"This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader"

    I have a PDF form that was created using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. PDF version 1.6, so it's good for Reader 7.x and above.
    When someone using Adobe Reader X tries to open the form, they get this javascript error message:
    "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader. Without a newer version, the form may be displayed, but it might not work properly. Some form elements might not be visible at all. In an internet connection is available, clicking OK will download and install the latest version."
    Is there anything I can do to the form that would make this error message go away? Is this a know issue with Adobe Reader X or Designer?

    Is there any code running on the form?
    Reader X has come out with additional security features that must be disabled to get any PDF form w/code to work.
    Open Adobe Reader X --> click on Edit --> Preferences.  Under the General Category, uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" (last checkbox in the dialog box).  Click OK and try to open your form.

  • This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe reader !?

    Hi there
    I use LiveCycle 8 and I design forms for a target audience using Acrobat Reader 7..
    My problem is whatever I put in a form, I get a really annoying message when opened in Acrobat reader 7
    This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe reader, Without a newer version, the form may be displayed but not work properly etc....
    This doesn't inspire confidence for the user.
    I get this message even if I open a new form, add a single textfield and save as Acrobat 7 PDF form.
    Is there a way around this ?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I am not too sure, I thought that saving as Acrobat 7 pdf,would do that. Is that not the case ? Are you referring to something else ?
    Thanks
    Chris

  • I can't open PDF files even though I have downloaded Adobe Reader.  I am using a Mac book Pro

    I can't open PDF files as the screen message says I have to reopen the computer and sign the Adobe Reader agreement but even though Adobe has downloaded I don't get any screen message indicating where I would do this.
    Where is this?

    after downloading, did you install adobe reader?

  • How can I open pdf files in safari browser without installing Adobe reader?

    I do not wish to use adobe reader. I just uninstalled it and now I can't view pdf files in preview when attempting to open the file in safari browser.  How can set safari to open any pdf files using preview application?

    Copy the text below, including the initial /
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Switch to Finder, then use the Go menu - Go to Folder command & paste in the text, clicking Go afterwards.
    A Finder window should open, showing various plug-in files. Trash any that are for Adobe or PDF. You'll be asked for an admin name & password.

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

  • I can't open .pdfs ever since loading the latest version.  Core dll is missing.  Help!

    I can't open .pdfs ever since loading the latest version.  Core dll is missing.  Help!

    There are a number of similar topics in this forum over the last few days.  There are indications that this problem may be caused by a rootkit infection.
    Google "scan for rootkits" to find if your machine is infected.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

    As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
    What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF  to Word export.
    There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.
    Be well...

  • I've a very important document which I can't open anymore: You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

    I've a very important document which I can't open anymore: You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

    I figured out that it doesn't matter, actually it is Qsync, but other prgrams such Sugar Sync  create teh same problem
    The sync program adds a suffix to the files insite the numbers container
    When looking at the files inside the Numbers file/folder, I saw this (note: Alphonse is the name of my computer):
    drwxr-xr-x@ 9 thibaut  staff   306B Mar 14 09:21 .

    -rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut  staff    11K Jan  3 13:21 preview-web (from Alphonse).jpg
    I renamed the files to remove the suffix, like this:
    -rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut  staff    11K Jan  3 13:21  preview-web.jpg
    drwxr-xr-x@ 9 thibaut  staff   306B Mar 14 09:32 .

    -rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut  staff   101K Jan  3 13:21 preview.jpg
    That fixed the problem and the file now opens correctly in Numbers 3.
    You can take the numbers file into a windows machin, the file is shown as a folder and then remive teh suffix.
    and like magic the file can then be opend  in Numbers V3.1

  • I can't download new version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  Please help?

    I can't download a newer version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  What can I do? 

    No, sorry, that's not how forums work. We are just ordinary people, not employed by Adobe (and Adobe won't help, because it's free software).
    Step 1. Try to get the file you want on screen. I expect you to see the message "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document"
    Step 2. Understand you are looking at a page of a file, even though it looks like an error message. It is in a window, right?
    Step 3. Move your mouse towards the bottom of the window. Stop moving the mouse. A little bar should appear with four buttons.
    Step 4. Click the fourth button.
    Step 5. Open FINDER.
    Step 6. Open Downloads from your left bar.
    Step 7. Find the file you just downloaded.
    Step 8. Double click on that file to open it.
    Please do not skip anything, just because you don't understand it. Instead, let us know.
    If these instructions let you down, please let us know (a) on which step, and (b) what actually happens instead of what I said.

  • I was prompted to download the new version of Adobe Reader XI 10.0.03. I now cannot open it

    I was prompted to download the new version of Adobe Reader XI 10.0.03. I now cannot open any document. I have never had trouble before. It gives me an error message: “Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatability with your system configuration.  Would you like to open Adobe reader with protected mode disabled.” I tried a number of things including clicking on the first and last options the prompt gives.  Help!

    Three 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
