I loaded adobe reader and I can not open a pdf file.  It keeps telling me I need adobe acrobat.

What is your operating system?
You don't need Acrobat to view PDF files; can you post a screenshot of that message?
Also, is this a local or online PDF?  If online, in what browser?

  • Down loaded adobe x and now can not open recently viewed files

    I downloaded the new version of adobe but I now can not open any files. I get a white screen and windows task manager says adobe in not responding.
    Any suggestions. Thanks.

    Adobe has magically started to run again. I had the program running with just a white screen and after about a 10 minute delay it seems to be ok.
    I hope that is the end of the problem. I have no idea what the problem was, maybe it was doing an internal update , I am not a computer whiz.

  • Adobe 9 worked fine, then just stopped working.  Loaded adobe 11 and it will not open any .pdf files

    Why can't I get Adobe Reader 11 to work at all??  Won't open, repaired via Windows XP as suggested, does not help.  Will not open files in Emails, or stored on the disk. HELP!!!!!

    No, neither vers. 9 nor 11 will do anything by itself, no errors, no nothing, hourglass shows up for about 10-15 seconds, no message, no nothing.  Very frustrating, to say the least.  When you have 11 loaded it says Acrobat failed to load its core .DLL but this is several minutes later.  Can’t find anything relating to that problem.  Any help would be appreciated as I have some very important files that cannot be opened.

  • I can not open any pdf file... . Fatal error. Acrobat has failed to connect a DDE server

    fatal error

    What can I do?

    Did you register and activate Acrobat? I don't remember the DDE issue off hand, but it should not be occurring with the regular Acrobat installation.

  • Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

    Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

    Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • HT3775 I have a mac book pro and I can not open an MP4 file, this is disheartening

    That's weird. Do you have Quicktime or iTunes installed? Or any media program?

  • After I installed adobe reader 11 I can't open any pdf.  The reader starts but no file appears

    After I installed reader 11 I cant open any pdf files.  Reader opens but no files appear then it shuts down after a few seconds.
    Thanks

    Can you open Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If that doesn't help, please let us know your operating system.

  • Can not open all .pdf files in Yahoo Mail.

    Three computers using Windows XP and Internet Explorer can open all .pdf files in Yahoo
    Mail. The fourth and newest Computer with XP Pro, Internet Explorer, and the latest Adobe
    Reader can only open some, but not all, .pdf files in Yahoo Mail. Nothing happens when
    the window is clicked to open file. How can this be fixed?

    Adobe Reader isn't my favorite, but neither are smug and uninformed assertions about Preview. There are PDFs that render only squares and marks under Preview (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24209/this-pdf-displays-with-question-m arks-instead-of-letters), which is a common problem in MS Windows Office generated PDFs, so you may actually need Adobe Reader for Mac.
    If you need to use Adobe Reader (as I do), then it may depend on the filesystem type where you save your PDF.  For example, our Macs are network homed.  Saving to desktop produced the error reported above no matter whether I used Safari:Save As, or the PDF save icon. 
    However, when I saved to a local drive (such as /tmp), then it worked.  I don't know why file system makes a difference, unless Adobe is doing something with extended attributes that doesn't get written correctly to some filesystems.
    Hope this helps.

  • Downloaded updated Adobe Reader and now can't open attachments

    My MLS system program CoreLogic's Fusion just did updates and the updated version of Adobe Reader is the only one which will allow attachements to be read.  Well, I upgraded my version of Adobe Reader to the right one and it worked for a few minutes but now it doesn't work.  I can't read any attachments.  This is not just my problem.  Others have experienced the same thing.  What can I do to fix this?  It is really a big problem for me in my line of work.

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?  Email client?  If you use web-based email, in what browser.
    Finally, what exactly means "can't"?

  • I downloaded the Adobe Reader and now can't open PDF files

    I downloaded the Adobe Reader after notification on my MacBook Pro and now can't read PDF files

    Yes, I was able to open PDFs until I downloaded the new version as per the alert on my MacBook Pro.  I was using Adobe Reader often. 
    I downloaded whatever they sent me my way (11?) and my operating system is Mac05 (10.5.8-10.9 English).The message says I’ve already downloaded it.  It didn’t mention file.org.  I looked in my preferences and didn’t see Adobe Reader, only Flash Player.
    I’m not terribly computer savvy, so I’m trying to figure this out.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?

    I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
    Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
    You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
    (Canon Server)
    I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???

    The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

  • Mac-with Leopard-Adobe Reader 8.1 will not open previously scanned files

    Have a Intel Mac and use Leopard.
    When using Reader 7.1 previously scanned files (eg. recipes) always opened. Upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.1
    Now, on a number of them, the icon is black, and when I attempt to open them I get the
    following message..for say a scanned recipe..
    "Adobe Reader could not open "Won Ton Soup" because it is either not a supported file or
    because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and
    wasn't correctly decoded)."
    Tried latest version of Adobe Reader..no luck.
    Suggestions ? Thanks.

    >previously scanned files (eg. recipes) always opened.
    Were they actually PDF's?
    If not, it could be that you had Acrobat instead of Reader before.
