I downloaded Adobe Reader IX and now all I get is a black screen - am unable to open any document

I can no longer read any PDF document ; I get the black screen and the only way to get out of that is to turn off my computer.  How do I resolve this?

What is your operating system?
What are these documents, local or online?  If online, in what browser?

  • I downloaded Adobe Reader 11 and now the PDFs show as a black screen.  What gives?

    After downloading and installing Adobe Reader 11, when I try to read a pdf on screen, all I see is a black screen.  Very frustrating.  Can anyone help me out?  thanks.

    Turns out there was a conflict between an older PDF plug-in installed by Adobe InDesign CS3 and the newer one installed by Adobe Reader.  Removing the older one from the Library fixed the problem.

  • My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

    My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

    Hi
    Thanks for the help. No point in fooling around with it any more. Will I be able to use it as a monitor if I get a mimi mac?

    No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac  or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

  • How do I download PDF files using Safari.  All I get is a black screen.

    How do I download PDF files using Safari.  All I get is a black screen.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Hello,
    Perfectly fine working iPad and I attempted to load the software update provided for settings. Now all I get is an on again off again apple. Attempted hard reset to no avail. iTunes no longer recognizes the device. So......? what? how? where?
    Thanks, Richard

    And one more point, I am not an Apple user. This is my first experience and have had to learn as I go. So any explanations please break it down for a noob. I am fairly computer geeky but when it comes to Mac or Apple or iAnything... I have zero experience.

  • When I click on almost any picture, in any album, to enlarge it, the pic starts to enlarge and then all I get is a black screen with a large exclamation point in the center.  What have I done to my iPhoto program, and how do I fix it?

    Recently, whenever I click on almost any of my pictures, in any album, in order to enlarge that photo, it starts to enlarge but then,
    very quickly I get a black screen with a large white exclamation mark in the middle.  And no full sized photo. Boo!
    What did I do to my iPhoto program, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Mike H.

    I'm sorry.  Too old to understand this stuff.  I'm sure this seems real stupid to you.  But I have no idea how one
    would "right click on the Original iPhoto Library" (I know, I know, 'as stated").
    Do I right click on the symbol in the dock??  Or open it first and then, . .  I can't find a way to right click on the word iPhoto in the top bar.
    Or should I open the program you had me download.  There I can find something called "original iPhoto library".
    When I "right click" on that I get some options.  None of them are "original folders".  There's "reveal library in finder", and "dupilicate library and "sort libraries".  I have no idea if any of these are what you want, or if any of these might change something.
    When I clicked on "reveal library in finder" earlier on it showed me the copy of the photo library that I made a while ago, sitting right where I know it is on my desktop.  And if I click on that symbol it shows me all the pictures again.  Just like in my regular iPhoto files - all the thumbs are there, but most can't be opened to full sized.
    Are we making progress here?  I'm sure this is frustrating to you.  This is just pictures of family.  Even the thumbs are nice to look at.  But this is nothing critical - like work related or anything.
    Thanks.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • I downloaded the update Adobe Reader IX and now cannot open PDF attachments on incoming emails. Why?

    I downloaded the update Adobe Reader IX and now cannot open incoming PDF attachments  It says "EULA display has stopped working"

    Go to: C/Program Files (or Program Files(x86))/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader
    Look for the file named "eula.exe" (or just "eula")
    Double click it and accept the end user license agreement (eula)
    You should not see this error anymore

  • I have a Mac OS X and I'm trying to download Adobe Reader 11 and it won't open.

    I have a Mac OS X and I'm trying to download Adobe Reader 11 and it won't open.  I get it installed, however, when I click on the icon nothing opens.  Please help!

    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.
