Just installed Acrobat 9 and it won't open .pdf files I receive in emails

Just installed the newest version of Adobe CS4 Design Premium, and have a problem with Acrobat 9 Pro. Using Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  My problem is that with the last 4 emails I've received which have attached PDF files, I'm unable to open those files (using Eudora 7.1 email client).  Acrobat gives the the error message:  "There was an error opening this document.  The file cannot be found."  When I forward these emails to my other computer which is running Acrobat 7 Standard, the attachments open fine.  To further the puzzle, I tried to open older emails which have PDF attachments (which I opened a while ago) and they open fine in Acrobat 9.  Any ideas?  Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I found that I can right-click on the attachment and "save attachment as..." to the desktop, and then it will open from there with no problem.  Good work-around so that at least I have access to important attachments.  But, it should open when I click on it inside the email, like it has with Acrobat 7 ever since I've owned it.  Must have something to do with the interaction between AA9 and Eudora (a legendary but OLD email client). The attachments do, in fact, appear to be PDF files, so I can rule that one out.

  • Just installed Acrobat, now Firefox won't open PDFs

    Hi,
    I just installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on my computer (running Windows 7).  Now, if I click a link to a PDF in Firefox, it doesn't open.  A new tab opens, as before, but then I get an error message telling me to close my pdf reader and my browser.  I've tried this, it doesn't work.  I've tried restarting my computer, it doesn't work.  I've tried going into Task Manager and killing any task related to Mozilla or Firefox, then reopening Firefox and trying again, no luck.  I'm getting to my wit's end.
    What does work:
    I can still save pdf files and open them with reader
    I can still open pdfs using Internet Explorer
    At some point during the process, it asked me if I wanted Acrobat 8 or Acrobat Reader 9 to open PDFs by default.  I don't know how to reaccess this option to see if changing it would help.  I'll gladly provide any more information neccessary.
    Thanks,
    Jackson C.

    Just to add the specifics of the error message:
    Title: "Acrobat plug-in."
    Text:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."

  • Just installed iTunes and it won't open

    I just downloaded iTunes 10.6.1, twice, onto my new compter. I have Windows 7, and a 64-bit Operating System. I did download the 64-bit version of iTunes, so I do not think that is the problem.
    The first time the installation worked fine. I plugged in my iPod Touch to sync it, and I did so. I briefly closed out of it and went to reopen and it would not. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It still would not open. After the second installation was finished, there was a dialogue box that said it would open iTunes when I pressed "Finish". I clicked Finish, and iTunes did not open.
    I looked through one Troubleshoot guide, and it said to open iTunes in "Safe Mode" but iTunes wouldn't even open.
    I'm not really sure what to do... Any help would be great!
    Thank you!

    Try restoring your system to the earlier time and then reinstall your iTunes. You might have installed or downloaded something that makes iTunes weird.

  • Acrobat pro 9 won't open pdf files

    Just downloaded trial version of pro 9 for Mac.  I tried to install pro 8 and found out that it is not compatible with snow leopard.  The uninstall in version 8 is also not compatible with snow leopard.  So I had all kinds of trouble uninstalling version 8.  This may be the problem.  I finally got version 8 off the Mac but the uninstall may not be complete.  I installed version 9 and I'm having all the same problems that I did after I installed 8.
    The uninstall of version 9 worked and I tried reinstalling it.  Still won't open a pfd file.  The main problem is that I get the following error when I click on a pdf file.
    "The document “5 Chptr 2010.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format."
    What do I need to do to get version 9 to work????
    Also when I click on the Acrobat icon in my tray the program does not launch.  All I get is the menu bar at the top of my screen.  On my windows machine when I open acrobat I get the "wizard" screen that allows me to select what tasks I want to do.  And when I try to create a pdf file from a msoffice word document it won't allow me to convert the document.  I get the following error message.
    "Acrobat could not open 'This is a test document.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF or use the Acrobat toolbar found in Microsoft Office applications."

    Hi rms,
    Have you installed Acrobat X and XI Pro both on the same Mac.
    Adobe doesn't recommend coexixting different versions of the same software.
    Please remove both the versions and install any one of them and then check.
    Also make sure you have updated Acrobat to the latest patch.
    For 10 it's v 10.1.9 and for 11 it's v11.0.6

  • Acrobat 9.1 won't open pdf file??

    Just downloaded the updated Acrobat reader and am trying to open up a file manual for a toshiba dvd vid recorder and keeps saying need acrobat reader 8 or 9 to open--even after it shows installed in my programs.
    Help--art tx

    You might get a better answer in the Reader forum, this forum is for Acrobat, the full product. However, have you tried to open Reader and then select the file from the file menu, or right click on the PDF and select open with, selecting Reader to open the file?

  • I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iPhoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Am terrified I'm going to lose photos as they weren't all backed up. What do I do? Please help...

    Pogs78,
    first things first — buy an external drive to use as a Time Machine backup destination and make a back up. That way, you won’t lose anything which is currently on your MacBook Pro.

  • Installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files. Why?

    I just recently installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files.
    I did a search looking for a solution in the forums and here are the actions I've taken:
    1) Made sure the files were't read/write protected.
    2) Restarted the computer.
    3) Made sure all the program files were in the correct folder.
    4) Reinstalled the program.
    Pages won't read .doc files that were originally Pages files and exported as .docs
    It also won't read .doc files that were created using a relatively recent version of Office.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
    Please help.

    If it's a doc created with the late Office 2011, it's not really surprising.
    The importer embedded in iWork application was delivered in january 2009 and didn't evolve.
    For this reason, it's unaware of new features delivered with Office 2011.
    Better try with LibreOffice.

    Which Adobe product did you install?  What type of documents are opening in Word?  Finally which operating system are you using?

    I just downloaded Acrobat and it won't work. Why won't it work? I keep having it quit unexpectedly when I try to launch it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried restarting my computer.  Any suggestions? I fit all they system requirements.

    Hi again CueBallMcDraw,
    What operating system are you on? If your issue isn't related to your subscription being in a pending state (as I discussed in your other post), we'll look closer at what's going on with your system. But, I suspect you're going to be fine once your order finishes processing.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

    How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
    I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
    Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

    Hi Tom,
    I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
    When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I  had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
    At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
    Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
    Best regards, mbd

  • GIMP won't open PDF files anymore

    I just reinstalled my system and noticed that GIMP won't open PDF files anymore. I remember being able to use GIMP to open PDFs and save them as high resolution images.... Am I missing something?

    Make sure you have poppler-glib installed.
    If you have imagemagick installed you might also want to try "convert my.pdf my.jpg". It will be done before gimp opens.

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

  • Safari won't open pdf files on my iphone 5c

    Safari won't open pdf files on my iphone 5c. Whenever I try to open a link leading to a pdf from say the google search page it won't load up. If I touch-and-hold, the. choose "open", I get taken to a blank page. There are not buttons, like the one that offer to open the pdf in iBooks for example. I get the same result in the google Chrome app.

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go
    If you see this plugin:   AdobePDFviewerplugin
    Move it to the trash, then quit and relaunch Safari and try a PDF file.
