I cannot view PDF file (though have Adobe Reader 9 on my computer)

Why do I get the message "the application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.  Reinstalling application may fix this problem" whenever I try to open a PDF file (both from Email and from Harddrive). I have Adobe Reader 9.  Does anyone have any clues?  Thanks.

Uninstall, use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool to remove anything left in the Registry, then re-install.

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

  • Having troulbe viewing pdf files in my adobe reader

    I am having trouble seeing some pdf files like income tax returns or my sons fafsa application both online and when i try to uninstall to reinstall to see if that would fix the problem, in my add/remove programs it comes up and says "this patch package could not be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer patch package. when i open up up my adobe reader it says the version is 11.0.5. can you help me in telling me what i need to do?

    I have a similar problem. After updating to Reader 11.0.6 on January 17, 2014, I could no longer print on certain printers. I finally was able to print again after uninstalling 11.0.6 and going back to a previous version which I selected from the Adobe other systems page - it was 9.5. Prints fine.
    I tested this on two computers with the same results. The printing dialog box does not even appear - it works correctly with files from other applications such as Word.
    My system configuration (I know it is old, but it works) - Windows XP Pro - both an SP3 - 32 bit and an SP2 32 bit. Network is Novell 4.12 and the printer is configured on a Novell print server. HP4050 laser.
    I did try printing to another printer on the network, HP3012, which is configured as an HP IP printer - which worked OK using Reader 11.0.6.
    Reader 11.0.5 was fine, 11.0.6 has a bug.

  • Cannot open pdf files or uninstall adobe reader

    I downloaded Reader X but could not open any pdf files so tried to reinstal.  I got the message that it was already installed so tried to uninstall but could not do it. The message was to say that it was using certain files and to close explorer.  Dont know how I do that if I am using it to contact adbobe!!!!  I now have a program which does not work and I really need to be able to get these pdf's downloaded now.  Does anybody know how to get rid of the adobe from the system.

    The easiest would be if you close all applications, especially web browsers, then try to uninstall again.
    If that still fails, use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459) to remove the current Reader installation, then try again to install.

  • I cannot print pdf files after installing adobe reader

    I have installed adobe reader for Mac OS x. It shows it is installed but when I try printing a pdf file it won't print and it says I need to install it. What can I do?

    Please provide the full and exact message you are getting.

  • I can't see pdf files. Have Adobe reader loaded

    sometimes I can and then I can't. as far as I know I am doing nothing differently. Very frustrating. Am new to mac and on a very steep learning curve. Help witl be appreciated.

    As Rick mentioned Preview is very useful, if you don't know how to get to it there are several ways. My favorite for launching apps is the use Spotlight (that is the magnifying glass in the upper right of your screen) by using a keyboard shortcut of Command + Spacebar then typing the name, that way I don't have to take my hands off the  keyboard. You can also navigate to any App in your Dock  or using Finder by going to the Applications folder. Because you are new to OS X I'd recommend bookmarking and beginning to use:
    Switch 101
    Mac 101

  • When I download a .pdf file using mozilla, I cannot open that file despite having adobe reader on my desktop. I cannot save the file to open at a later time

    I wished to view a .pdf file of a vehicle brochure. Mozilla found the brochure ok, but would not let me view it or save it. I ended up having to use IE to download and then view the file. How do I enable Mozilla to allow me to view .pdf files< I have Adobe Reader 9 installed on my PC (using Dell and Window 7)

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

    When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
    1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
    2. cannot view a PDF file;
    3. or what?
    Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).

  • Cannot view pdf files in browser

    brand new imac cannot view PDF files in browser but the PDF's can be viewed if downloaded. All the data in the PDF online have question marks instead, maybe a missing font issue?

    Have Adobe Reader installed? If so, disable the AdobePDFViewer.plugin resident in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins., restart, and try again. For font-associated issues, peruse Font Management in OS X

  • I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

    Does anyone have a solution for this???
    "I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

    Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
    Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
    Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

  • Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

    Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update?  My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

    NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
    Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
    Select "Properties"
    Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
    Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
    That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.
