I have Adobe Reader X installed, but no pdf's will open.

The problem seemed to start after installing the app needed to watch the Olympics.  That app was uninstalled.  Uninstalling & reinstalling Reader does not seem to help.  Any suggestions?  I get no error.  Reader simply does not respond at all.

I do not quite understand the connection between Flash Player and Adobe Reader; they are entirely different programs.
Questions:
can you open Adobe Reader by itself, e.g. from the desktop icon?
can you open PDF documents from your local disk?
can you open online PDF documents, e.g. http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf ?
When the answer of any of these questions is no, then please explain what exactly happens instead?
P.S. if you have problems with online PDFs, what is the web browser you use?

  • Adobe Reader XI installed but "Not Found"

    I have Adobe Reader XI installed and apparently running normally. Unfortunately the UK's Parcelforce web-site says it can't find it.
    I get the message " Adobe Acrobat NOT found. You must have Adobe Reader (5 or better) with the browser plugin properly working"
    Can anyone help me please? How can I tell if "the browser plugin is properly working" ?

    In IE11 use Tools | Manage Add-ons, then show All Add-ons.  Do you see the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, and is it enabled?

  • Do not have adobe reader X installed.

    OS: WINDOWS7 32Bit, 64Bit
    Browser: internet explorer 10
    This error occurs when installing adobe reader X as above.
    Install a different version of adobe reader 11 also, but I've done, is that the same error occurs, must be installed.
    Tried to install version
    AdbeRdr1010_ko_KR.exe

    install_reader11_kr_gtbd_chrd_dn_aaa_aih.exe

    Sorry, I don't understand the error message, but you could try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Adobe reader crashes when 2 fillable PDF's are open

    We are having trouble with Adobe reader on all levels. versions 9 10 and 11 are having this problem. When we have 2 fillable PDF's open and we Tab in one or copy and paste from one to another the program crashes with no warnings. It will close both files down like we had pressed the Close buttons. Acrord32.exe crashes each time is what i have noticed. I have not messed with Registry yet because I didn't think it would be needed at this moment since it is multiple computers. This is what I have done to try and fix this error and other pertinent information:
    -Changed 3D settings
    -Changed Security Settings
    -upgraded from 9 to 10, 9 to 11, 11 to 10, 11 to 9, and it has been set back to 11 now
    -uninstalled, reinstalled
    -Broke some files and repaired the program
    -tested on multiple computers with same results
    -All systems are XP. on 7 it seems to be stable
    -tested multiple forms with same results
    If you need more information please let me know. Thank you for any help you can give me.
    Thanks again,

    I have adobe reader 11.0.09 installed on Windows 2008 R2 configured as Terminal server with Citrix XenApp 6.5 installed. The Server is hosting on average 14 - 15 simultaneous sessions. Adobe reader is installed on the server. The server is provisioned via Citrix Provisioning server 6.x
    The problem:
    The User with regular credentials opens two PDF files with writable fields at the same time. The user accesses the environment via remote access with Citrix receiver installed on his / her local desktop. The user fills up the text field on the first form and copies the text from the fields of first form to the appropriate fields of the second form. After few minutes adobe reader crashes.
    After I was investigating the issue, I found that at certain point the application crashes and throws a record into the ProcMon list
    More details from ProcMon
    After the crash of the application, the highlighted section in the snapshot above disappears and the application at this time is dead.
    This issue happens only when the PDF forms are opened with Adobe reader on Windows 2008R2. I have tested Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and 11.0.8 all of them are crashing the same way.
    Help is more than welcome.
    Thank You

  • Adobe Reader 9 installed but can't open any pdf. file now

    I have been successfully using the Acrobat Adobe 8 with no problem until trying to download the Adobe Reader 9.
    I run on Windows XP.  Ever since downloading Adobe Reader 9....I can no longer use Acrobat Adobe at all.  I can not
    read or open any Acrobat Adobe files .pdf no matter what application was used in creating them or rather they were created by me or someone else.
    I get the error message that Adobe encountered a problem and had to close.  Someone PLEASE help.

    Repairing Acrobat after removing Acrobat Reader worked for me in the past. I would try that first before removing Acrobat.

  • Where on Windows hard drive does Firefox temporarily store PDF files that I open from websites when I have Adobe Reader configured as the default PDF reader?

    I have Windows 7 and Firefox 19.0.2. I see that every time I open a PDF file from a website, it prompts me to either save the file or open it with a program (defaults to Adobe Acrobat Reader). If it is the same file name that I keep opening up over and over, it appends an incremental number to the end of the file name. To me this implies that it is download the file to a temporary location and then opening it in Adobe Reader. Where is Firefox storing these files and how can I be sure that they are being deleted regularly? I don't want these files to be kept on my local hard drive after I close the file in Adobe Acrobat.

    Files that you choose to open with an external program are saved in your temporary folder. To open it, click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar, type '''%TEMP%''' in the search box, then press Enter.<br>
    You can clean out temporary files in Windows using the Disk Cleanup utility. The program can also be scheduled to perform cleaning tasks automatically without prompting.

    That shouldn't be happening. If you try to download a file that's already in your temporary folder, it should simply open instead of being downloaded again.<br>
    I don't know what could be causing it though. First, try upgrading to the latest version of Firefox. If nothing else, your system will no longer be vulnerable to the security holes in the version you're using.

  • Adobe Reader won't download and PDFs won't open

    All of a sudden I cannot open PDFs, so I have tried to download Adobe Reader XI and it gets to 78% then fails. It will not give me a reason for the failed installation, and when I try to open PDFs I get a message that says "Acrobat failed to load its core DLL." Now I cannot open PDFs, and I feel like I have tried everything to correct the problem - I tried on chrome, IE, and Firefox, I enabled JavaScript, I don't have virus scanners blocking it, and I am at a loss of what to do. Help!

    uninstall any acrobat and reader versions, if you have win os clean (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and then install acrobat std.
