  • Is it safe to download adobe reader for my macbook? i don't want any viruses to pop up

    can i download adobe reader for my macbook pro? is it safe or will i be at risk for viruses?

    You may be confusing Adobe Flash - which is known for security issues - with Adobe Reader perhaps.
    I think you are safe to download Adobe Reader. Always update the software when updates are available since many updates do include security fixes as well as bug fixes and any new features that have been added.
    I have always had some version of Adobe Reader on all of my Macs and have never had any virus, Trojan or Malware on any of them.

  • Where to download Adobe Reader 9.1...and other older versions?

    I just got a notice that a "new" update was avialable for Acrobat Reader.
    I tried to install the update for my version (v 8.2! -- don't know why I never got any notices of subsequent updates/versions), but the update to 8.22 failed several times. So I got the update from the download are and that installed successfully.
    However, when I noticed that there have been several updates, I also tried to download the 16 MB version 9.1. But clicking "download now" wouldn't generate a download window. Instead, I was taken to a download page for the CURRENT version of Acrobat -- the 32 MB  v 9.3 that includes AIR). This page offers no option to download other versions though the header for the page actually states that it's a page for the Current and "older versions".
    Any ideas on why I'm encountering this problem and where I can actually download version 9.1....or how I can get 9.3 WITHOUT AIR?
    Thanks.

    You can't get with out AIR.  you could uninstall it afterwards.
    i believe there is switch you could user when installing it to diable the AIR.  I have it disabled at work, but I'm also
    packaging it for mass deployment to 7000 machines.  Check out appdeploy.com
    If you don't want AIR and Acrobat.com you need to get the .msi and download the custom wizard and make an .mst file and run those.  Quite fun.  Or like I ssaid just run the set up and uninstall those features.

  • Cannot open pdf after downloading adobe reader

    i have download adobe reader and still cannot apoen fill in pdf formet

    You write that you have downloaded Adobe Reader; did you also install it?
    What is your OS?
    What exactly happens when you try to open a PDF file?

  • Adobe Reader will not open, error O:104

    Adobe Reader will not open, error O:104

    That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect.  You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
    If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

  • I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it.  What can I do?

    I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

    Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
    You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
    Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
    Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
    More info is better.

  • Adobe Reader Will Not Download competely - Error 1316

    Attempting to download Adobe Reader and it never finishes - this time error 1316

    Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\Windows\Installer\(program name).msi
    A common error message when trying to reinstall/upgrade a software program (like iTunes etc). Here's a way to avoid getting it:
    This message usually means a previous installation of a software is getting in the way of the new installation. It's kinda nutty that this would cause a problem, but we live in a nutty world. The fix is to download a free program from Microsoft that will totally and completely remove the old software. Then the new version can load unimpeded.

    I have spent more than 3 hours (over 2 on your ask the expert where I waited forever and got about 5 minutes of Santos' time!)  He transferred me to this area where there is no one to help me.  I can't adjust my thermostat until I update my adobe reader and can't do that because your website will not take my password.  However, adobe.com will take it.  So what the hell do I do?????

    When you say that you have the same problem, do you mean that you are:
    1. Not able to download Adobe Reader;
    2. cannot view a PDF file;
    3. or what?
    Please be a little more descriptive of your particular problem or, better yet, start your own thread and clearly indicate which problem(s) you're having and what you have done, thus far, to correct the problem(s).

  • We downloaded Adobe Reader XI and our PC no longer works properly.

    We run Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3, and use Internet Explorer 8.  We once were running a Trend Micro AntiVirus that seemed capable of producing some issues, but we believe it to be disabled.  Before downloading Reader XI, we were able to easily use PDF files in many ways.  When there was a web site we were using that offered us a look at a document, such as a statement, or a blank state government report form, we could click on it, and the pdf would pop up in a window associated with Explorer, where we could view it, and then decide whether to print it.  We can no longer do that.  We still can use some pdf's, but not pdf's that are made available to us via the Internet in that fashion.  A few weeks ago, upon startup, we saw a message on our desktop that we ought to download the latest Adobe Reader. We downloaded Adobe Reader XI. The problem immediately started. We uninstalled Reader XI. We reinstalled. The problem persisted immediately upon reinstall.  In between the uninstall and reinstall, we looked at our system attempting to find an older version of Reader we could reinstall in preference to XI, but we saw nothing under our Control Panel Install/Uninstall programs, and so nothing on our hard drive.  Now, when we attempt to click on a "View" hyperlink on many websites, the pop up window, that would have at one time showed us the document or pdf file, pops up blank, turns dark gray, and stays inert for 2 or 3 minutes, followed by the appearance of the error message stating that we have a problem with our programming, or, if the Reader is already running, shut it, and try again.  The reader is not already running.  We have tried rebooting and re-trying to view, but we get the same error message.  We have some old pdf's stored on our hard drive.  We can double click the file names and open and read and print the files in Reader XI.  We can also add new pdf's to our hard drive if they arrive as attachments to e-mails; or, if at a web site offering a view of a document we need, if the web site offers also an ALTERNATE hyperlink by which we may DOWNLOAD the file, then, we can get the file via download, and open it.  The Reader XI is not inoperable.  It will not work with various websites in Explorer 8 that offers a VIEW hyperlink rather than a DOWNLOAD hyperlink.  What can we do? If we download Google Chrome, will it work?

    Internet Explorer is, as we in the web design world call it, "the problem child" of browsers. It seems as the rest of the world embraces HTML 5 and CSS 3, Microsoft has been throwing a tantrum and hoping everyone will go back to 1998 standards... "It ain't gonna happen."
    Given that the view/download worked prior to installing the newest Reader, it's probably a matter of IE not working with the latest plugin. Since XP (which is just ten short months away from being "sunsetted" by Microsoft) won't work with IE9 or IE10, you're stuck with 8, and I'd recommend a "downgrade" to an older build, like 10 or even 9.
    First, you'll want to run the Adobe Cleaner to remove all traces of Reader XI.
    Then download the offline installer for 10 and reinstall.

  • Unable to print PDF documents & then unable to download Adobe Reader

    Help,
    I tried to print a PDF document this morning and received the message "The document could not be printed". I clicked OK and received a further message "There were no pages selected to print". My printer will still print word documents, emails and DVD covers produced using Nero Cover Design Essentials.
    I have the latest version of Adobe reader 11.0.07. I went to the Adobe site and repaired Adobe Reader but it made no difference.
    I therefore decided to uninstall Adobe Reader and reinstall it from the Adobe site. It downloaded OK but when I tried to install it I got the following message "Error: General Installation Error". I was using Mozilla Firefox so tried the same with Internet Explorer, with the same result.
    I then downloaded the full Adobe reader from File Hippo, but still got an error message when I tried to install it (see below).
    So I have gone from bad to worse and don't even have Adobe reader on my PC any more. The problem only surfaced this morning and last night I uninstalled two programs I decided I didn't need any more; Auslogics Disc Defrag and AVG PC Tuneup, but don't understand how uninstalling them could have caused the problem.
    Regards,
    Barry

    Hi again Pat,
    I checked the permissions in my Temp folder and there were none. So I ticked all the boxes, but when I ticked OK I got the permission denied message again, so the problem is still tied to me not having administrator privileges. Strange thing is that even though I was denied permission, the boxes still stayed ticked. However nothing has changed as far as my problems are concerned.
    It would appear to me that the answer is to get my administrator privileges back, but I have been unsuccessful in that so far. I purchased a complete PC from a good supplier but the Windows 7 setup disc that came with it does not have the "Repair Your Computer" function on it, which I understand would allow me to sort out my administrator privileges? When I rang Microsoft and asked if there was any way I could obtain that function, by download or otherwise, they weren't at all interested as I hadn't purchased Windows 7 directly from them.
    As for downloading Adobe Reader via the MSI folder, I don't need to do that because when I recovered my backup from an earlier period I once more had Adobe Reader. I can use Adobe Reader to open a PDF document but it would appear I must have administrator privileges in order to print a PDF document, which was how the situation was before I decided to uninstall Adobe Reader and download a new version. I can print any other type of document so obviously Adobe demands more before it will allow printing.
    In the early stages I also downloaded Foxit Reader, as I had read good things about it, but again, for the same reasons, I could not install it.
    I have googled "problem with loss of admin privileges" and got a lot of hits. I will try some of the suggestions that don't appear too complex, but if they fail I will go back to the supplier. I have to sort it. I have seen suggestions about starting a new account but am not sure what to do there, or indeed, if I should do that.
    Thanks for all the attempts to help me so far,
    Barry

  • How do you fix Error 1324 when downloading Adobe Reader?

    "Error 1324. The path My Pictures or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again." appears after 96% of download occurs when downloading Adobe Reader onto my home computer Windows XP Home Ed. v2 sp3 64 processor. Tried downloading again and same thing happens - used Windows Internet Explorer as browser. Any ideas on what to do next?  Will try downloading using Google Chrome to see if that works. First time using the forums - think  I need to move it to Adobe Reader Forum
    Message was edited by: denm

    Thanks Pat W. I stand corrected. The error report occured during installation. My Pictures and the Adobe folders reside in My Documents - the path(?) C:Documents and Settings/Denise/My Documents/My Pictures. The Adobe folder also resides in the My Documents folder but not within the My Pictures folder. Just wondering where the Adobe folder should be.   If I have an external drive on and a backup copy of Adobe is in it, would that be what you mean by a folder in "My Documents" is pointing to somewhere other than the C: drive? I have turned off my external drive and retried the download. Not successful. Will try your last tip re: the support site from microsoft. Thanks for any other clarification you can provide.

Adobe Reader ha stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution ia available.

    What is the Reader XI version you installed?
    Does this also happen when you open Reader by itself?  If not, can you try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
