I downloaded Adobe Reader but when I try to open a pdf document, I'm directed to download Adobe Reader, which I did over and over again. What should I do now?

I'm having difficulty viewing pdf documents because I'm required to download Adobe Reader.  I did download that application, but the same message recurs repeatedly.  What shall I do to resolve the problem?

You don't provide any details, but from the sound of it you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that does not use the Adobe Reader plugin: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

    This is the Reader forum. Are you sure there is an Adobe program called Beyond Adobe?

  • Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Hi.
    Does this only open on that specific site?
    In any case, you may want to:
    - instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
    - reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
    - install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

    Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
    The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

    Have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
    If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account.

  • HT1420 my computer crashed and we replaced it with a new mac - but when I try to open itunes it states that I already have 5 computers authorized - since the computer crashed and is in the trash, I can't deauthorize it in order to set up the new mac....wh

    computer crashed and is in the trash - thus can not deauthorize it to allow me to the new computer - what can i do?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
    You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone.  Authorize your computer for your itunes account 
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
    When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars.  So do NOT sync yet.  This is why a backup copy is so important.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
    When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data.  Choose it.
    If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync.  They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
    When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

    Uninstall Reader. Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool. They try re-installing Reader 9.2

  • Problem with Reader file when we try to save a pdf version of filled in file.

    We currently create fillable forms in Acrobat XI and enable them for fill-in with Acrobat Reader.  Our end users are able to key information and save it to the enabled pdf file with Reader, but they want to create a protected version of the form so nothing can be modified once they have approved it.  They have been creating "locked" pdf versions of the completed form using CutePdf software.  The PDF files they are creating open fine with Acrobat Pro XI or our free FoxIT reader, but when we try to open the files they created with CutePDF with Acrobat Reader, they are quite distorted.  According to users, this worked with older versions of Acrobat Reader.  Please let us know if you have any suggestions (other than switching from Acrobat Reader to the free FoxIT reader.
    Thanks for the help!!

    Can't endorse FoxIt or CutePDF, since I don't use either of them, and Adobe doesn't like us endorsing thrid party products in their forums anyway. On top of that I know several people who had really bad adware experiences with FoxIt, so I'd say stay away from it.
    Most likely neither of these software developers has updated THIER software to work with Acrobat/Reader XI and the problem lies with them, since PDF is an Adobe format and they must follow the lead from here, not vice-versa.

  • I have downloaded the free trial but when I try to open Adobe Illustrator it just opens a web page with tutorials.

    Hello, I have successfully downloaded Creative Cloud and from there downloaded AI but when I try to open it all that happens is a webpage opens with three tutorials.   The program itself doesn't open.
    Any help would be much appreciated. 
    Many thanks.
    Sarah

    I hope you don't mind but I have added an image as I'm not very technical. 
    I have downloaded Creative Cloud and you can see that I have downloaded AI or so I thought.  When I try to open it I just get taken to the web page shown with the tutorials.  There is a download option in the top right hand corner and when I select that it just opens up creative cloud again. 
    I am sure I am doing something that makes me a complete idiot but I am not sure what else to do. 
    Thanks for your response.

    Hi Pat.  I've done that, it opens up the install window again.  If I click on install it says it's already installed.  Nothing comes up that allows me to accept the end user agreement.  I just retried and the same thing happens.
    I appreciate your help.
