I need to install Adobe Reader to take a course but I cannot get it to work

I am trying to take a 3 hour course online and I have to download adobe reader.  I have done this or so my computer says I have, but still cannot get the information I need to take the course to work.  I get a message saying "if the I need to install adobe reader".
How do I get this fixed? I need this course in order to renew my tradesman license.
Thanks

Are you expected to download files from the course to look at on your computer or will all of the course be done completely online? If the course takes place entirely online, what may be needed is the Adobe Reader plugins getting installed properly in Safari. Since you're posting this in the Yosemite forum we can assume your using Yosemite, not Snow Leopard (10.6.8), so the plugins may not automatically be working. Assuming Reader has actually been installed, take a look at the instructions Adobe gives for activating the plugins.
BTW, do you have "Adobe Reader" in your Applications folder?

    Select one of the files, Choose GetInfo from the Finder's File menu, look for the field named "Open With", and choose Preview from the adjacent menu. Accept that ALL such files will Open with Preview, and your major problems should be solved.
    Occasionally, a particularly complex .pdf file or one that needs to be modified and re-written will not work quite right with Preview, but such issues are rare.

The trail version is fine with me as i just have to use it for couple of days till i get my mac book back from service. Can any one help me on this.

    You are welcome, ameronweb.
    To elaborate a bit, you may come across offers of a new/unopened/unregistered version, which is the simplest case (you would need a guarantee). Other cases require much detailed information (and a guarantee).
    If upgrading to 10.6.8 or higher is an option, you could use CS6.

    I downloaded adobe Reader XI sucessfully for Windows but I cannot open pdfs.
    Any suggestions?

    I am able to open them now, but I have to open the program first and then open the file through that. This doesn't make sense why I can't just open by clicking on the file.

  • I have installed trial but I cannot get it to work

    I have installed trial but I cannot get it to work. Help

    Reader is a free program and therefore has no trial version.
    And if you want help, you must provide appropiate information. We don't know if you are in a Mac or a Win machine, or what program (and version) you are talking about.

  • Need help installing Adobe Reader, Error 1402

    Hello, this is my first time here at the forums.
    So my problem is obviously having trouble installing Adobe Reader X (Latest Version) I had to reinstall it due to this error,
    I've tried looking at these steps: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/329/329137.html but they didn't work.
    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
    I get stuck at step 10 of More Solutions (Advanced)
    The error I get when I try to 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' is:
    Auditing - 'Registry Editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys.
    The key that cannot be opened during installation is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\PDF.PdfCtrl.6\CLSID
    Notes:
    I've already set full permission to access this key.
    The 'Replace permission on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects' checkbox is actually named
    'Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object' on my Windows, I think it's basically the same thing, because it's in the same spot as the one in the support picture, so I'm just assuming that's Windows 7 and I'm using Vista which shouldn't be too different.
    I've already followed all the instructions correctly, and I don't have spysweeper, McAfee on my system or any viruses/spyware, I update Windows regularly and my AntiVirus is Norton AntiVirus which is updated as well, and this doesn't seem to interfere with the installation files as you can see this is a registry problem.

    Please confirm the Reader version and the operating system.

  • Need to install Adobe Reader to a 64 bit folder and not (x86) default 32 bit folder

    Hi
    We have a program on our system which searches on local machines for their Adobe Reader in able to open up a pdf. Only one pc on our network is 64 bit and of course when installing Reader will default install to C:\Program Files (x86).
    We need to be able to install AR to C:\Program Files to allow the databse to work on this 64 bit pc.
    I have tried using the cmd feature and also adobe customisation wizard but to no avail.
    Is there any way to change folder location on install?
    Many thanks

    The software is wrong? How do you mean?  The software by default tells the users computers to use Adobe Reader to open up the created pdf files by this program. This program has been designed for a specialist purpose and cost thousands. Unfortunately the default location is under the 32 bit directory which is Program Files on all the 32 bit machines which is just fine. Now we need the 64 bit pc to be able to run this software but changing the default location of where to find adobe reader would mean the 32 bit pc's would not work. To add another location would mean the designer of the program charging another huge amount (approx £300).
    All I am asking is there anyway installing AR can override the default location in a 64 bit pc and put adobe in C:\Program Files as if it were a 32 bit pc?
    Many thanks for replies so far
