Installing & running adobe reader on Mac

I installed Adobe reader on Mac OS X 10.7.5, using both Safari & Firefox, but it didn't work in either.  Adobe is there, but won't run. I had Adobe before but then it disappeared.  I downlaoded again in order to open pdf fillable forms. When I return to these pages, which I used in the past, it now says (in Safari) can't use this browser or run and relaunch (same browser I used before) or (in Firefox) I must agree to licensing agreement before use, which never pops up for me to agree to. Any suggestions?

  • Running Adober Reader in Mac OS 10.7.2 (.fdf file)

    I am trying to open a .fdf file using safari and Mac OS 10.7.2. When I originally installed Adobe Reader I noticed that it said i needed MAC os 10.5.6 or some earlier version. When I try to open the .fdf file it flashes and displays a local address like users/user/downloads/filename.fdf until I have to force close safari. I have no idea what is going on any help is appreciated.

    Why are you using Safari?
    Do you have the original form (PDF) that the .fdf should populate?

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • There was a RAISE without a handler. - Adobe Reader 9 Mac PPC 10.4.11

    Hi, just recently everyone has been getting this error at my place of work. After searching around this seems to be a pretty rare problem with not many solutions. Everyone is running Adobe Reader 9 and is accessing these files from a share on a server. The odd thing is if I access the server and copy the pdf from the server to a mac it works fine when its on the actual machine, but opening it from the share gives this error "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now exit."
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    I am not sure, but I got the same error on my macbook pro with Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Acrobat 9.2 (CS4). I never had any problems before until I tried to install the suggested update to version 9.3.0 with Adobe Updater. The Update didnt finish the installation and since then I have this error message.
    I must say that I lately updated/installed the free utility "PDF Browser Plugin v.2.2.3" from Schubert IT which brings full Acrobat functionality to Safari. Acrobat 9.2. and PDF Browser Plugin were running without any problem before I tried to run the update. (I am not sure if the PDF Browser Plugin was running on my MacBook Pro System before - but I didn't experience any problems with the Plugin and Acrobat Pro on several other Macs at work)
    But now I am not sure if the Browser Plugin has brought up the Updater to fail - especially because it is just a Plugin for browsers located /library/Internet Plug-ins)
    I now try to fix this issue and let you know if I was successfull. I was just thinking, if you maybe also have this plugin installed. It runs in the background and is normaly not buggy, and that why most users don't even recognize wheter its installed or not...

  • Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

    Hello,
    I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
    "Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
    And I did not find my answer.  That is why I'm posting this as a question.
    So, with that out of the way....
    I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed.  What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible.  I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
    As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version.  However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
    That is why I'm here asking.  Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download?  If so, where is it on the web site?
    This does lead me to a follow up question.  Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player?  If so, where can I download them from as well.
    Thanks in advance,

    Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
    The URL to access the page is
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
    From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
      -- Windows XP 64 Bit
      -- Windows Vista 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
    Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
    Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
    In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file.  Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
    According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
    So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009?  IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

  • Adobe Reader won't open  Tried installing updated Adobe Reader and error came up in the process and told me to contact software manufacturer.  Could I uninstall current Adobe Reader and then try installing the current AR?  Any ideas?

    My Adobe Reader wouldn't download tickets.  Tried opening Adobe Reader application but it would not open.  I saw my Adobe Reader needed to be updated, so I attempted to install new Adobe Reader.  When it came to finalizing, it said there is an error and can't do.  Any ideas?  I have no functioning Adobe reader.  Should I uninstall old Adobe Reader and then try installing the updated AR?

    (Had to step away & do things) I can't even open up the Adobe Reader application to uninstall; get message it won't open. And now have more things needing to be downloaded to print.  Any ideas on how to open the app, so I can uninstall.  I have a MAC OS X 10.9.4  When the installation initially failed I received this message from Adobe, " Adobe Reader Installation Error  Package name Adobe Reader xi (11.0.07)  Installer: installing abase path/installer: The install failed  (The install encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)  It did not specify what the error was

  • Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
    Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?

  • Adobe Reader for Mac messes up my mouse driver

    After installing the latest version of Adobe Reader for Mac on Tiger 10.4, viewing any .pdf file has the effect of changing many of my single mouse clicks into double mouse clicks until reboot.  It begins when I click on the page-down sidebar and the reader jumps ahead two pages.  Next, randomly about 80% of my mouse clicks become double-clicks in any application until I reboot.  I thought I had seen this problem in an earlier version but it seemed to resolve itself.  With the latest reader, right after reading a .pdf file I have the double-click problem.
    I've dragged everything I could find from Adobe into the trash bin and use "Preview" to view pdf file.  No double-click problem.

    If you subscribed you will get a new email for every post here. Otherwise you have to manually check. What you are seeing is not typical. I'd try the typical troubleshooting techniques.
    1) Fixing Permissions.
    2) Emptying various system caches.
    I'd recommend you get a copy of Applejack. It can do all that and find disk directory issues. Cost is reasonable---free.

  • I can't install free Adobe Reader

    I'm using MAC OSX 10.9.4. I had some Adobe product, but recently I had some problem with other programs, so I cancelled it, and I tryed to install new Adobe Reader, but I can't, any versione, and any other Adobe product now. The download starts, but when I try to install it's locked, and the window closes without any alert message. What can I do? I need only a simple free Adobe Reader.

  • Custom install of Adobe Reader questions

    HI,
    I used the Adobe Customization Wizard to create a custom install of Adobe Reader 10.1 for some Citrix servers.
    I'd like to use 10.1.1 but can't find a base install for this, only an update.
    This means I need to run the custom 10.1 and then run the 10.1.1 update.
    Is there any other way?
    I didn't see any documentation to bundle the 10.1.1 update into the 10.1 install so it install automatically.
    Thanks

    Hi john,
    Sorry, I didn't spot that. Hope I didn't waste your time.
    It looks to me as if the update hasn't been tagged on to the original installation. Here's the download link for all of them: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=windows&product=10
    The only tools I can find are these: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/technical-resources.html#documentation-guides but you probably have them already.
    Maybe one of the other contributors might be able to suggest an alternative method of achieving your goal.
