Issues downloading Adobe Reader XI

I get to 96% downloading Adobe Reader XI and then I get a message that Adobe Reader 7.0 is using files that need to be updated by this set up - and to close the application and click retry to continue. I cheked my system and Adobe Reader 7.0 isn't running - can't even find it on my system. Help! Thx

You need to uninstall Reader 7 before installing a much newer Reader version.
I suggest you download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader...

Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

I have similar issue. Did u find an answer?

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.

I just downloaded adobe reader and can't print a pdf file

i just downloaded adobe reader and cannot print a pdf file.

Same or related issue.
After installing latest updates of Mac Mavericks and Adobe Reader, I can't open pdfs downloaded from the web or print pdfs from the web. Using "export" doesn't help. Same with the print/pdf workaround.
I uninstalled/reinstalled Reader. I indicated Adobe Reader as my default opener for pdf-type files. No help.
I'm using Safari.

When downloading Adobe Reader, the Firefox instructions say to look for an "edit option" box. It does not appear and I am stuck.

I am trying to download Adobe Reader for the new Firefox and it says to look for the "edit options" box. I can not find one and am stuck

When downloading adobe reader the adobe reader icon takes over all other icons on the desktop.

When I try to download adobe reader, it downloads, but the adobe icon replaces all of the other icons on my desktop and changes the programs to adobe reader. Is there anything I can do to download adobe reader without it affecting my other programs and their desktop icons?

Link to download adobe reader for windows Me

hi i still run windows Me,and i erroniously uninstalled adobe reader.could someone pkease please direct me to alink that i would be able to download adobe reader to my system.

Windows ME compatibility was dropped after Adobe Reader 6, and the Adobe website doesn't supply versions prior to 9.
You can however download the installer for Adobe Reader 6.02 from the FTP archives:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/6.x/6.0/enu
Customer support for Adobe Reader 6 was stopped long ago, so it will not be updated to protect against security issues.

Cannot download Adobe Reader in Windows 7 on Dell computer

Whenever I try to download Adobe Reader, when I press "Finish" on installation, the Adobe logo takes over the whole computer and I cannot access any programme. The entire taskbar becomes a series of Adobe logos and all programmes are preceded by the logo.
I cannot access anything and am forced each time simply to uninstall it again, and go back to Foxit Reader, but I really would prefer Adobe. Adobe Flash Player works fine on the computer. Can anyone help please?

Hi penelopes6554204,
I am sorry that you are experiencing this issue.
Please try to download Latest version of Adobe Reader i.e Adobe Acrobat Reader DC using this link Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions & check if you still experience the same issue.

I have downloaded adobe reader xi but cannot open my system is Windows 7 Home professional?

I have downloaded adobe reader xi but it will not open - my system is Windows 7 home professional?

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

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.

How do i read pdf files on mac air, i have downloaded adobe reader and not working

How do I read any files in pdf format? I have downloaded adobe reader yet have not been able to open pdf files?

If you can't view PDF files in Safari, take these steps.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Having a problem downloading Adobe Reader to my computer.

I don't understand why I cannot simply download Adobe Reader X to my computer from Firefox. It says I am missing a plugin, then when it searches it says its not available, takes me to download something and then a ZIP file appears.
I don't even know what to do with this ZIP file and this seems like a tedious process for downloading a simple file. I gave up, gave in and used GOOGLE CHROME to download the file and it was on my computer in less than a minute, so then I could load it onto my computer.
Why is Firefox being so picky about something like this and why haven't they made this easier to download. I don't like using other programs like CHROME or IE for things like this, but I am forced to use them.
I enjoy Firefox, but it's the "little foxes" like these that mess up the vineyard and makes it difficult to browse and download items with ease.
Please make this easier for people to download. Make a plug-in available or something to where I do not have to mess around with ZIP files that I don't know what to do with.

The downloaded Adobe Reader XI doesn't work!

This might be known, but I have never experienced it! I downloaded Adobe Reader XI, and when I wanted to open a pdf file, Adobe started....... and disappeared! I thought maybe I had done something wrong, so I tried once more, but with the same result! I found that I wanted to have the old version (X) back, so I unloaded XI and reinstalled X, but ......, you know what? Now the same happened with the old version! There's definitely something wrong here, but what? I think I have tried everything that's supposed, but have come up blank! Can anybody help me?
