I was able to open pfd files before my computer was shut down by a power outage, once power was returned I am unable to open pdf files

I was able to open pdf files before I had a power outage in our area, once power was restored I can not open pdf files.

Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
To change that see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
However, Google seems determined that in the near future only their own plugins will be allowed on Chrome...

  • I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

    I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments.  When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open.  I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen.  It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled.  It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted.  In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server".  On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off.  Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either.  I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before.  I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem.  I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist.  I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem.  I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

  • Not able to open PDF files

    Not able to open PDF files. Before I switched to Lion OS, clicking on a pdf would automatically open it in Adobe Reader. Now I either get a black page or I get just the first page of the document but still in Safari. I would like the pdf to open Adobe Reader. I have tried some of the suggestions in other threads such as deleting all PDF items from Library/Internet Plug-Ins. That did not work.

    Hi ,
    Make sure to back up your Mac before messing around with any system files.
    Press and hold COMMAND + TAB to bring up your Mac’s application switcher, then keep tapping the TAB key while still holding down the COMMAND key until the selector lands on Finder. When it does, go ahead and release the COMMAND and TAB keys.
    Click on the Go menu at the top of the screen, select “Go to folder…” then copy and paste this folder “path” into the pop-up window:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    A new folder window will appear, showing a list of all the browser plug-ins installed in Safari—and at the very top (if the list is sorted alphabetically), you should see one or more files labeled “AdobePDFViewer.” Drag the old Adobe plug-ins into the Trash, then quit and restart Safari.
    Try opening a PDF in Safari again—and yes, it should work, using Safari’s own “native” PDF reader.
    Now, want to open PDFs in Safari using a fresh Adobe PDF Viewer plug-in? Try this:
    Visit this page to download and install the latest (and free) version of Adobe Reader.
    Quit and re-launch Safari, then open a PDF file directly in the browser; when you do, the PDF should open using your new Adobe Reader plug-in.

  • Not able to open pdf file

    I am not able to open PDF file of size greater than 700 Mb in my surface tab?

    Hi there @Delta0  and welcome to the community!
    I understand you can scan however, you cannot open up the PDF file afterwards.
    Please let me know which operating system you are running and I will certainly look into this issue for you.
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    In the meantime, try updating Adobe to see if that helps.

  • Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hello,
    Please see the support article below for full information on viewing PDF in Firefox:
    [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]
    If you want to use Firefox's built in PDF viewer (i.e. not a plugin) then you will need to ensure that any PDF plugins are uninstalled from Firefox and that 'Preview in Firefox' is selected as the Action for PDF files (see screenshot below).
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.

  • Not able to open pdf and adobe reader on windows xp sp3.

    Hello,
    I am not able to open pdf and adobe reader on my windows xp sp3 computer. I have reinstalled adobe reader 11.0.3 twice, but, no luck. I would appreciate if you could help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    You can 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.

  • I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.

    I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
    However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8, it does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager, but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    I haven't use the C# API but I imagine it is the same as C ShellExecute. Which in turn is the same thing (in essence) as double clicking in Windows Explorer.
    So... does Adobe Reader run normally on this machine?
    And does it start and open if you double click on a PDF file?

  • Not able to open pdf created by quicken

    i am able to open pdf from the internet such as anual reports from my broker only the problem is that reader will not open pdf files that are created by quicken
    is this a problem with quicken that quicken refuses to admit because they tell me there is no problems

    >but reader will not open it
    Yeah but, what happens when you try? Error message? Nothing? What? It makes a difference.
    It might be good if you could create a test file from Quicken as well and post it somewhere to look over. My "guess" is that it's going to be on the Quicken end of things but it's hard to say without seeing the file or at least knowing what happens when you open it.
