My computer locks up when using adobe reader XI on Windows 8.1

How can I fix this issue?  Where do I start?

It was another program that was installed recently that caused the problem.  I had to restore the computer from a previous point to get the problem cleared up.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • Can Data Be Written To A Called PDF When Using Adobe Reader 9?

    Can data be written and saved to another called pdf when using Adobe READER 9?

    You'll have to expand on your description for a full answer - but all things considered, it would be possible.
    If the "called" (this is one of the things you need to clarify - do you mean a PDF opened via the JavaScript openDoc method?) PDF discloses itself, then the "calling" PDF can execute an importXFDF or similar call on that PDF as long as they are Reader Extended.
    Past that, you'll need to give us more information on exactly what you're trying to do.

  • When using Adobe Reader 11 and entering info on a US government form, 2d Barcode is grayed

    2d barcode greyed out when any info is entered into the form...

    Hi Pat,
    Thanks for the quick response...Here is the link to the document.
    http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864.pdf
    I have tried several different things, including different computers, tried to open using Firefox / IE / Chrome (None of these even display the 2D barcode portion) and well as another PDF reader.
    Basically when using Adobe Reader 11, I can see the 2D barcode normally, but when I even enter a single letter into any field, the 2D barcode is 'greyed' out.
    I have searched on the forum and saw another similar post that was mentioning something about a 'license' issue, etc.  As I am the end user, there is nothing that I can do in the modification to the file, as it is a protected file (i.e. I can only comlete and print this document).
    Thanks for the help.

  • I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

    I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

    The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
    Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
    If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

  • Firefox crashes when using adobe reader retriving pdf files

    For instance when I tried to get a pdf file from the IRS web site using adobe reader firefox crashes it also does the same thing on other sites with pdf files what would be the problem and how could I resolve this issue.

    Hi roy6640,
    Have you looked at the Knowledge Base articles [[Troubleshooting plugins]] or [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]]? There is some good information in there. You may want to try reinstalling the plugin as well or updating it if it is out of date.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My computer locks up when using Firefox

    When using Firefox my computer periodically locks up. My screen goes blank and everything is unresponsive. I have to to a hard reboot to get my computer back up. I'm using a 64 bit version of Windows 7 and I have the latest version of Firefox installed. I typically don't use any of the plug-ins.

    Ever since I downloaded v12, my computer has been locking up at least twice a DAY. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, including Firefox itself, as well as Adobe, and all the plug-ins associated with the application. I've run Spybot, C-Cleaner, and my anti-virus to confirm that there's nothing else wrong with the computer outside Firefox. If the computer is rebooted and Firefox is not opened, the system is fine. But once Firefox has been opened - even if it survives the session and I close Firefox - the computer is about 75% likely to lock up, requiring a hard reboot. I'm running Vista Home edition (32 bit). If anyone has a clue what might help stop this - because I'm quite sure that it's not healthy for my computer to be hard rebooted twice (or more) a day - I'd love to hear it! It's getting waaaay more than annoying, enough so that I'm ready to move to another browser to stop the problem.

  • LaTeX table rules disappear when using Adobe Reader

    Hi,
    I created a PDF document using LaTeX and used the LaTeX command \cellcolor to create colored cells in tables. When I view the document with the Adobe Reader some table rules of colored cells dissapear. This is not the case when using Preview on a Mac. The lines become visible when I zoom into the document (>300%) and when I print from Adobe Reader. Hence, it seems to be a problem with the rendering that Adobe Reader does. According to various disscussions on the internet many people seem to have similar problems. However, nobody provided a good solution for it.
    Any suggestions to solve the problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sebastian

    I am not quite sure if it is a problem with the pdf generator since the problem is not present when using other pdf viewers or when zooming in with Adobe Reader. It might be a problem of the Adobe Reader.

  • How to resolve issues when using Adobe Reader DC with LEED Online?

    This morning I downloaded Adobe Reader DC however now I am no longer able save the PDF in LEED Online.  How do I resolve this issue or revert back to the older version of Adobe Reader?

    Before the DC version we were able to save our passwords from University of Phoenix and when opening the document saved to our computer it would unlock automatically.  This new version DC will not allow this even when you say Yes.
    The Right Column in previous versions would allow to disable until requested to appear this version it opens regardless.
    Just my opinion here  Adobe Failed at customer satisfaction on this UPGRADE.
    Regards a unhappy Adobe user.

  • Error Message when using Adobe Reader 8

    Just recently when I have opened Adobe Reader 8 to read info on a web site, an ERROR REPORT window has opened. Can anyone suggest why this is happening and what should I do to remedy it.

    Try being sure you are logged in as the administrator and have anti-virus turned off. Other than that, you should go to the Reader forum for that product.

  • Computer Locks up when using Yahoo mail

    My computer locks up everytime I log into Yahoo mail. A little colored pinwheel comes on and I have to do a force quit on Explorer. This has going on for about 6 months now, and is really irritating. Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes?

    1Quickgn....
    If you don't have it, you will have to download and install.....you set it up just like you set up Explorer or Safari !!!
    In Fact once FireFox is installed... a dialog will appear asking if you want to use Fire Fox as you browser

  • I can't download PDF's from website that uses Adobe Reader on my Windows 8 phone?

    For work I need to be able to download PDF's from a particular website.  It utilizes the Adobe Reader but when I try to download a PDF, it doesn't do anything.  I tried to download the "Adobe Reader" from the website but it says that I do not hav the system requirements to do so.  This problem started after they did the Adobe update.  I haven't been able to download these PDS's since then.  I need to be able to do this for work....  Any suggestions?  or when will this issue be fixed?  Thank you!!!

    I have the same problem.  Or similar.  A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work).  Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use.  I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files.  Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway,  as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can. 
    Any other suggestions?  i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
    Thanks

  • How do i do an advanced search when using adobe reader within a firefox window?

    i used to be able to do an advanced search within a firefox tab, but when i updated firefox to version 33.0 from version 17.x, the interface changed and i can't figure out how to do it, any longer.
    eventually, i figured out that a simple search can be done with control-F, but i'd like to get the advanced search panel.
    when i use internet explorer, it has an icon of binoculars that will open advanced search. firefox does not have this.

    Advanced Search relies on the use of a Catlog index built by the Acrobat search engine.
    The browser add-ons cannot access the Catalog index.
    Advance Search via Catalog indexes of network based PDF collections is possible.
    Be well...
