I want to download Adobe Reader v 9.3 and lower for my use at a government site

I am trying to download Adobe Reader v 9.3 or below for getting some forms from Indian Government site. I tried and Adobe is allowing 9.5 and above. Need guidance in the matter

You can download the installers for 9.3.0 of Reader from here:

I have downloaded Adobe Reader on my tablet and I have Adobe Reader XI on my laptop, how do I get it where I am able to merge the two?

I have Adobe Reader on my tablet and Adobe Reader XI on my laptop, how can I merge the two?

You'll need to explain better what you're trying to do.
I can't conceive what it would mean to merge applications on two different operating systems.

I have downloaded Adobe Reader into my MacBook Pro, now how do I activate Plug-Ins?

I have downloaded Adobe Reader. How do I activate Plug-Ins?

I don't know what kind of plug-in I need to activate. In fact I don't even know what a plug-in is. All I know is that when I attempted to download some photos and a document, both from an outside source, a box appeared saying "missing plug-in." I have used the the photo website many times before with no trouble. The one clue I have is that the most recent attempt to download the photos said that I needed to update my Adobe Reader, which I did, but alas, to no avail. Help! Please!

Adobe Reader 11 stopped working and now will not install

For some reason my Adobe Reader 11 stopped working today when I tried to use it so I figured I would try to re-install it. Well, re-installing it helped none. The same error keeps re-occuring. Here is a screenshot of the error message I keep getting:
http://i45.tinypic.com/16ovpy.png
Any solutions?
Thanks!

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

When I try to download Adobe Reader firefox says I need additional plugins. Then it says there are no plugins available. I can't get PDF files in firefox. Please help.

Adobe Reader will not download. It says my browser needs additional plugins. I click on download plugins and it says there are no plugins found.
I cannot read any PDF files from Firefox.

Try removing the Adobe DLM from your extensions in firefox. It will ask you to restart firefox. After restarting the pdf files should show in your browser as usual. This worked for me.

I recently udpated to Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and now I can not open signature protected documents. ?Porque? What is the fix?

@

Pasting all the conversation so that others can get help from the discussion.
Hi David,
Can you please try disabling protected mode and see if you are able to open these files.
To disable protected mode:
Select Edit menu -> Preferences -> Ubcheck Enable Protected Mode at startup and restart Adobe Reader.
Note:
"Purpose of Reader XI Protected Mode is to keep your system safe from PDF based exploits and keeping protected mode OFF will leave your system vulnerable.”
Please turn back on the protected mode checkup after this testing.
This seems to be a fix! Thank you for your help. Now comes the tricky part. I have to deploy this as a package across a gov. network using SCCM. How do I get this to all the users with "enable protected mode..." unchecked. I can't give them something that does not work out of the box.
Hi David,
It is not advisable to turn off protected mode as Purpose of Reader XI Protected Mode is to keep your system safe from PDF based exploits and keeping protected mode OFF will leave your system vulnerable.
Please let me know few details so that I can reproduce the issue at my end.
1) Will it be possible for you to send any test file in which the issue is reproducible.
2) Can you please check where the certificate (from which the PDF is signed) is stored. (Is it stored at Trusted Root Certificate Authorities or some other store?)
3) Do you use any other tool other than Adobe Reader plugin to digitally sign/ open a PDF ? (Is any tool other than Adobe Reader is involved?)
Thanks,
Shakti K
Hi David,
Please do the below test to see if the issue occurs due to signatures applied to the PDF document.
1) Launch Reader go to Edit -> Preferences -> Security (Enhanced) and check "Enable Protected Mode at startup" and clock OK.
2) Goto Edit -> Preferences -> Signatures and select Verification . Uncheck "verify signatures when the document is opened." and click OK.
3) Restart Adobe Reader
4) Now open the digitally signed protected PDF file in which the issue was observed.
Please let mw know the observation.
Thanks,
Shakti K
It has nothing to do with the signatures applied. Any document with a
signature block, even blank documents, will not open unless the "enable
protected documents at start up" is unchecked. It is the same across the
board for all documents weather signed or unsigned with a signature block. I
have it working on my machine, I just need to figure out how to install over
the network with the block unchecked during installation.
1. Attached form
2. I am not sure where reader pulls the cert from. They are all in a trusted
root CA because all certs are miiitary
3. Other tools used
ActivClient CAC x64 (6.2)
e-Sign Desktop 6.6
Thanks again for the support
Thanks a lot for all the information.
A doubt : If the document is not signed (like you mentioned unsigned documents also face the same issue) then how exactly the document is protected. Is it protected using any certificate?
I cannot find any attached PDF form . Please resend it again.
I am unable to reproduce the error now. Even with the protected block check.
Im not sure if there was a Group Policy change that enabled this. As of now,
it looks like the issue has been resolved. I appreciate all the help.

Thank you all for the help. My mac still freezes. I've deleted what you suggested. I hope it did it right. Can you check and help me out?
Also I went through the list and saw this
MATSHITADVD-R   UJ-8A8
Could this be the reason why my CD/DVD player quit working because it's crap?
thanks

I need help. My three boys have brand new iPad mini's and I would like to set them up. I would like to create one new apple ID and have it shared by all three. This way they can share content (apps, music). How do I do that?

Looking for an information management solution. I have three boys that have brand new ipad mini's. I would like to set them up to manage information the easiest way.
My first thought was to use my apple ID for their apps and purchases. This would give me the advantage of seeing everything downloaded and be able to monitor this closely. The disadvantage to me, was that they would see all of my contracts, my apps, and my music.
My other thought was to create one new apple ID and to share that among the three boys. This way I would not have to worry about my information being on their ipads.
This is a very confusing situation for me. My goal is seperate my stuff from my kids stuff. Appreicate input from anyone who has in-depth experience with this as it applies to apple ID, icloud ID, and any detailed explaination of how to do this would be appreiciated. Thanks.

I think I will do this. I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently. That solves one problrem. My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

I have Adobe Acrobat installed and recently updated and just downloaded Adobe Reader, which is running, and still cannot open a PDF.

Nothing happens. I get the same screen that tells me to download the computer.

You'll need to right-click, download the pdf and use File>Open from within Reader. That combination is not supported any more. Chrome broke it.

I cannot sign in to my icloud i reached the maximum number of free accounts for my phone. how will i log in now? it is an i phone 5 and was used for work before and now i want to use it for personal use

I cannot sign in to my icloud. I have reached the maximum number of free accounts on my phone.
I am not sure what to do next.. i need to set up an icloud but i cant now.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.

With Mozilla Firefox, I cannot go to "File" and then "Send Link" so as to pull up an email ready to send via Outlook Express, as I can with Internet Explorer - how do I change the settings to permit this?

If I am using Explorer, I can go to "File" and then "Send Link" -
an email will automaticallt pop up, with the website url pasted in;
I merely put in the recipents email address, hit Send, and away it goes
With Firefox, the email does not pop up; I have to manually pull up an email ("create mail"), then copy and paste the website url
displayed by Firefox
I want to override this default to Explorer

Hi,
Please try this: '''Tools''' (or '''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Applications'''. Look for or start typing '''mailto''' in the search box and for the '''Action''' change it to the desired mail client (the application that opens up in Explorer) if the value is different.
'''Options''' > '''Applications''': https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Applications%20panel
Managing Actions: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20file%20types

I downloaded adobe reader for my books and now it is the default programme for all my options on the laptop , can't even open internet explorer.. How to I change that?
