Just installed Adobe reader but unable to open pdf files

Just installed adnobe reader but still unable to open pdf files

What is your operating system?
What exactly means "unable"?  Are these local or online documents?  If online, in what browser?

  • Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

    Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet.  When
    I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle.  We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
    We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8.  We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
    Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
    Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
    Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
    Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
    Hope this helps!

  • Adobe Reader XI won't open PDF Files

    I had Adobe Reader 9 and when I tried to open a PDF file or just the program it would open for a few secopnds and then the window closes.  The program doesn't stay open.  I installed Adobe Reader XI but got the same results.  The program window opens for a few seconds and then closes before the PDF file is open.  What should I do to?

    Go to: C/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
    Look for a file named eula.exe (or just eula)
    Double click it
    Accept the license agreement
    Run Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files

    My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.

    It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
    There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103).

  • I just paid for 12 months to be able to open pdf files and I still cannot.  How do I either get my money back or get this adobe reader to work to open pdf files?

    i just paid for 12 months to be able to read pdf files and it is not working. how do i get my money back or get this problem fixed.  i am so tired of trying to see pdf files.Adobe ExportPDF (read only)

    I thought I ordered Adobe Reader.  Had information from your company that I was charged $13.00 and some change, I think that was the amount, after I completed my credit card information.  Can’t find it – guess it wasn’t an email.  Anyway, I will order whatever I have to in order to be able to open the pdf files as I need to see them for my work with the government.  What do I need to do?  I need it today.  And what is the cost for export pdf?

  • Adobe Reader stops me from opening PDF files I want to read.  I trashed Adobe Reader but I still can't get into some PDF's?

    I can't understand when I try to open PDFs on a website, and even after trashing Adobe Reader, I am not allowed to read PDFs on web sites?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.

  • I have just downloaded Adobe reader but am unable to launch documents as 'license agreement' needed

    I have just downloaded Adobe Reader but am unable to launch documents as 'license agreement' must first be 'Agreed" ??  Where can I do this?

    Assuming you're on a Mac, you launch Adobe Reader like any other app, from Applications. If there is more than one Adobe Reader shown, start and quit each one in turn.

  • Issue: installed Adobe Reader XI, Norwegian version, existing pdf will not open or appear empty

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, but I still have the same issue. Adobe automatically gives me the Norwegian version as I live in Norway. When I open existing pdf files they appear empty, and automatically close themselves after a few seconds.
    Any idea how I can solve this problem?
    Your input is highly appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much for your swift response, Pat! The first step – accepting the Eula license agreement solved my problem ☺ ☺ ☺
    Wish you a great day – you just helped making mine a lot better!

  • Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

    Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
    please help!

    This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.

  • Unable to open PDF files or Adobe Reader

    I am unable to opern adobe reader or download a ner version of adobe reader.

    Apparently the original software download was corrupt.  I tried to 
    "change" it through the add and delete software area of Windows, and  re-installed
    the software.  That seemed to work.  Debating on whether  to upgrade to one
    of their other products.  I could certainly use  fillable forms, signature,
    and modifiable documents. 
    Thank you for responding.

  • I just installed Adobe Reader on my Macbook Air (followed all steps given) and still cannot read my .pdf files. Disappointed!

    I just installed Adobe Reader on my Macbook Air (followed all steps given) and .pdf files still cannot be displayed after I double click on them.

    If by that you mean Preview is still opening the files Control Click and HOLD on a .pdf file you'll see Open With (at the bottom) Other Dialogue box. - mouse over to it and before you choose Acrobat click Always Open With in the checkbox.
