I can't print regular pdf files- how can I delete adobe reader?

I can print everything on my computer except the regular pdf files. I have updated my canon drivers. I have tried to update my adobe reader driver but get the error message that I have files in use. How do I delete or update adobe files when I can't find anyplace there are files in use?

You may want to try the following:

Uninstall Reader using Add/Remove Programs
If you want to reinstall Reader, download it from http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/

How do I open a pdf file on my iPad with Adobe reader.

I can't open a pdf file in an email with Adobe reader.

This document explains how:
Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad)

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

Preview pdf files in the desktop with Adobe Reader Touch .. is it possible?

preview pdf files in the desktop with Adobe Reader Touch
.. is it possible?

Windows Store apps (including Adobe Reader Touch) do not offer the preview capability in the desktop environment. That's just how Microsoft has set up. So you need traditional desktop apps.
Because your operating system is Windows 8 (not Windows RT), you can find a lot of desktop apps that are compatible with Windows 7 and 8. (For Windows RT, only built-in Microsoft Office products are available for desktop apps. But that's not the case here.)
You can download Adobe Reader XI (which is also a free PDF viewer) from the following Adobe Reader download page
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and install it on your Windows 8 desktop. (Note for Windows RT users: Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with Windows RT.)
In case you have any questions about Adobe Reader XI (desktop app), you can visit the Adobe Reader forum.

I HATE my new MACBOOK PRO, it will not let me open any PDF files and I downloaded the ADOBE READER three freaking times and it keeps saying that all the files are corrupt. I would rather have my 2008 Dell at this point. what is wrong with this thing

Perhaps the PDF files are corrupted.
Hit the command key and spacebar, a blue Spotlight in the upper right hand corner appears, now type Preview and press return on the Preview program.
Now you can try opening the PDF's from the file menu and see what's going on.
If they are corrupted, perhaps they are trojans from your Windows PC or gotten from a bad location online.
Download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the possibly infected folder.

You can use Preview to open PDFs. Right-click a PDF file and go to Open with > Preview

I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

from rpt2298The job ran successfully and two files generated in the target location. While the html files is OK but the pdf file cannot be opened with Adobe Reader. Verified that my Adobe Read is ok to open pdf files from other sources.

Do you have any password or encryption settings in your Runtime Properties?I do not think so, but not sure. Is there a way to check it? Is there a properties file.
Did I misunderstood it? but I can place both PDF and HTML files to the target location, the HTML filess are good only PDF files cannot be open by Adobe Read.

Will file converting pdf file to excel work with Adobe Reader 10.1, Windows 7 platform? It shows that it is available for purchase but does it perform? Will this work only with Reader XI? Is the conversion done on-line?

I just installed Acrobat. Can I delete Adobe Reader?

I just installed Acrobat Standard. Can I delete Adobe Reader?

I would actually go further than what ~graffiti says and make a backup of my system first. The last time I did this (except I uninstalled Acrobat not Reader) it stuffed up my PC properly. There was no problem while I had both installed, it was the uninstall. Alternatively, make Acrobat open everything by default and just ignore your installation of Reader.
I'd be open to correction on this but it shouldn't be using up any more system resources having both than having one because they share the same background processes.

How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

hello,
i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
thanks.

The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.

In Safari how do I open a .PDF file in Preview instead of Adobe Reader?

When a pdf file opens on my computer in Safari, it opens with Adobe Reader (v. 7.0.8). Until recently, I could right-click on my mouse and and a drop-down menu would appear with the option to open the pdf file in Preview instead of Adobe. That option has now disappeared from the drop-down menu. Can anyone explain how to get back the menu option to open the pdf file in Preview? Thanks. David

My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks!

PDF files won't open with Adobe Reader.

When I double click on a PDF file Adobe Reader opens to a blank screen for a few seconds & then closes. The same files open fine with Expert PDF software.

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

Can I delete Adobe Reader after purchasing Adobe Acrobat?

Hey all....
I just purchased a Fujitsu ScanSnap that came with Adobe Acrobat. With that, I though I would be able to delete Adobe reader off of my computer thinking that Acrobat would now take over for all .PDF's I wanted to look at, but for some reason I'm getting an error and I had to reinstall Adobe Reader- Even now when I open a .PDF- it opens with reader- if I want to open with Acrobat, I have to open Acrobat and then open the file from the menu bar. Any help on how to get rid of reder would be appreciated!
Thanks!

From what I understand, you uninstalled Reader. However, Acrobat had already been installed. When you uninstalled Reader, you broke Acrobat and would need to do a repair. They share some files and the Acrobat uninstall is not good about checking those files. That is why things started working again when you reinstalled Reader, effectively fixing Acrobat. As graffiti said, having both is not recommended. I would suggest you uninstall Reader again and then repair Acrobat. You can also uninstall both and reinstall Acrobat. Be careful about the uninstalls on Acrobat so that you also do the proper deactivation, not reducing your number of permitted installed.
