I downloaded Adobe reader for Macbook, it won't automatically open when I click on pdf in Ancestry

I recently converted from a DOS PC to a MACBook. Today I downloaded Adobe Reader. (11.0,4). In Dos, when I clicked on a Pdf file in Ancestry, it automatically opened so I could read it. That is not happening now. How can I fix this.
When I click on the file, another page opens and this appears:
http://o.mfcreative.com/f4/file05/objects/b/4/2/e/5b42ea22-49a5-4e24-9809-ee445aa4275b-0.p df
Then it stops.

What does it do instead of opening?
Can you open other online docs, like http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

Is it safe to download adobe reader for my macbook? i don't want any viruses to pop up

can i download adobe reader for my macbook pro? is it safe or will i be at risk for viruses?

You may be confusing Adobe Flash - which is known for security issues - with Adobe Reader perhaps.
I think you are safe to download Adobe Reader. Always update the software when updates are available since many updates do include security fixes as well as bug fixes and any new features that have been added.
I have always had some version of Adobe Reader on all of my Macs and have never had any virus, Trojan or Malware on any of them.

HT1338 how to download adobe reader on macbook pro

how to download adobe reader on macbook pro?

First of all, I want you to know that Mac OS X already has the ability to open and read PDF files. You do it with the Preview application. Also, on the Mac Adobe Reader is the third most vulnerable application to security risks. That is due to exploit are delivered through PDF files.
If you decide to download it you should still stick to using Preview to open PDF files and only use Adobe Reader in the few cases that Adobe Reader is absolutely required. Preview is not vulnerable to the same exploits as Adobe Reader because it does not have all the capabilities as Adobe Reader.
To get Adobe Reader go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Click on the download button. Once the download completes install the software.

Download AppZapper (it's a free trial - but once you see how it works, you'll agree it's worth the $12.95 to buy)
Install it and open it.
Drag the Reader.app from your Applications folder onto the AppZapper window
"Zap" the file and all asociated files.
Close AppZapper
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
If the AdobePDFviewer.plugin or AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files are present, trash them
Empty the trash
Download the Reader Installer again: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Mount the DMG and run the installer.
Launch Reader 11 from your Applications folder and accept the license agreement
Reader will run properly from here on out.

I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAC (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK)

I CANNOT DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER FOR MY MAX (ID AND PASSWORD DOES NOT WORK

This seems to cause a certain amount of confusion. Your Adobe ID is not used to download or install Adobe Reader.
But when you install any software you are likely to need your own computer's administrator password. This password was chosen by you (or someone) the first time the computer was switched on, and is used to protect the system against bad things.

You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

Link to download adobe reader for windows Me

hi i still run windows Me,and i erroniously uninstalled adobe reader.could someone pkease please direct me to alink that i would be able to download adobe reader to my system.

Windows ME compatibility was dropped after Adobe Reader 6, and the Adobe website doesn't supply versions prior to 9.
You can however download the installer for Adobe Reader 6.02 from the FTP archives:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/6.x/6.0/enu
Customer support for Adobe Reader 6 was stopped long ago, so it will not be updated to protect against security issues.
