My computer does not regonize or open pdf's

my computer will not recognize or open pdf files. when i try to open a pdf-a box opens with unreadable information.

Do you have Acrobat or Reader? How are you trying to open the PDFs? Are you using Windows or a MAC? What version of the softwre are you using and what is your OS? Basically you have not given enough information to even guess.

  • I am having trouble changing my macbook password i try entering my current password but my computer does not regonize it and i can not change it what do i need to do please help!!

    i need help i can not change the password it does that shaking boz thingy even thoough i put the correct password in

    Do you have a recovery partion. 
    When you forgot the password and you can't use OS X, you have to use the new Recovery.
    To boot in Recovery system, press Command and R keys in boot and hold the keys until you see the Apple icon. If you have a Mac with Internet Recovery, read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718. If your Mac has got a wireless keyboard, hold them when you hear the startup sound
    When it starts, select Utilities > Terminal, and type:
    resetpassword
    Press your user and type your password. Finally, reboot.

  • Not able to open pdf and adobe reader on windows xp sp3.

    Hello,
    I am not able to open pdf and adobe reader on my windows xp sp3 computer. I have reinstalled adobe reader 11.0.3 twice, but, no luck. I would appreciate if you could help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

     Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer.  I can ping all
    network devices. I can connect to the internet.
    On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
    Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
    The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

    Hi,
    After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller. 
    Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
    available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
    As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
    refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
    go through beneath article for more details.
    1.  Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
    2.  Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
    3.  Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
    Hope it helps!
    Regards.

  • I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

    I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments.  When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open.  I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen.  It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled.  It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted.  In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server".  On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off.  Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either.  I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before.  I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem.  I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist.  I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem.  I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

  • Windows 'My Computer' does not recognize my iPhone?

    When I connect my iPhone 3GS to me Dell Windows 7 laptop 'My Computer' does not recognise the phone at all whereas iTunes does. The system just opens an error window saying "Device Driver software was not successfully installed. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? Or of any other way to get my pictures off of my phone?
    Also, when my partners 3GS is plugged in, he just recieves an error message saying USB Device could not be recognized, neither iTunes nor windows recognizes it.

  • Windows 'My Computer'does not recognize iPhone?

    I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
    He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause.  Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
    In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
    Now, both issues are solved:
    Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
    iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone.

  • Adobe Reader does not automatically associate with PDF files in Xp Sp3

    I have reinstalled Reader (twice) and it does not automatically associate with PDF files.
    How do I fix this problem?
    Cheers, JH

    The thing is, when I right click a pdf file, and then go to properties, change default program to open with, select browse, I select it in the correct folder, when I click open, it doesnt open and the programs stay blank, so I cant select anything. There is nothing to select. And I have re-installed. But at the end of the install there are no options what file types to associate with. Any way to do it inside Reader?
    I have reader 9.2.0. and Win7 up to date. When I'm opening and closing allot of files the whole time, I don't want to do inside reader. Help please?

  • Screen/Computer does not Power Up when life the Display from being Closed

    Sometimes (not always), when i come back to my MacBook Pro and open the display after it has been closed for a bit, the screen and computer does not power back up or anything. If you look at the screen there is a very FAINT image on the screen of whatever was open when the screen was closed, but you can't do anything, nothing is responsive, etc. I have to hold down the power button until it turns off, and then right before it turns off the screen will power up for one second and then shuts off. Any ideas?

    I am having a similar issue when transitioning from my external display via the Mini Display to DVI adapter back to the internal LCD. The screen will go black, the machine will not sleep if I close the lid, and none of they key commands appear to work. The only response I can get is the caps lock key will turn off and on. When I restart the machine, I get no details on a Kernel Panic, or anything else, so wondering if it has something to do with the video drivers.
