No... Adobe Reader DOESN'T download it... THAT'S (downloading ANYTHING) a browser function ONLY. It's also a browser setting ONLY (whether to view it or download it). Downloading the PDF is only half the task. Unless you have your BROWSER set to "open" the PDf upon completion of the download, it will "sit" wherever you downloaded it UNTIL you double click it, or open Reader and click File>Open and choose it.
As Pat stated, we need to know your OS and browser to provide the correct solution for you.

  • Adobe will not open PDF files from other programs

    This is on one of the computers in our office.  We use a medical records program called Sevocity.  This program stores documents that we import into the electronic charts as PDF files.  When we upgraded that computer from Adobe to Adobe Pro, it no longer opened the PDF documents stored there.  Is this an issue with the medical program or with Adobe Pro?  We already had Sevocity Support attempt to fix the problem, but they said the issue looked like it was with Adobe.
    We would like to troubleshoot by re-installing AdobePro, but we want to make sure that none of our files stored to the Adobe Document Cloud.  If we re-install Adobe, will those documents still be available in the online Adobe account's Document Cloud, or do we need to move those documents to the collective Creative Cloud?

    Yeah, it does open from other sources like "My Documents", but sometimes it won't open the print previews in our billing system either.  Communication error with secure sites and programs, maybe?  I don't get an error message, though.  It just displays the "processing" symbol next to the mouse for a second or two like it does when PDF's usually open, and then nothing happens.  We are using Windows 7 on that computer.  The other computer that runs on Windows 7 also has Adobe Pro XI, but does not experience these problems.  I have also put in a ticket with Sevocity (the program that is not communicating with Adobe). 
    And that's a relief about the Document Cloud!  We will try to re-install just in case it was something that went wrong with the initial install.

  • Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

    Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3.  They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Firefox will not open pdf files & changes the options/applications settings?

    At first, with default settings, Firefox would not open pdf files & came up only with a blank screen & no file reference. Going to options/applications & changing the default to a new installation of Adobe Reader still brought up a blank screen but this time with the file ref. Oddly though, attempting to open any pdf file would then change the setting under applications back to Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox). But this doesn't work. So what do I need to do to get Firefox to open pdf files correctly using Adobe Reader?

  • Running Windows Server 2008 R2 OS, just downloaded a free copy of Adobe X1? Will not open PDF File

    Running Windows Server 2008 R2 OS, just downloaded a free copy of Adobe X1 download completed successfully but will not open (or read) any PDF File...Help!

    You write "download", but did you also install it?

  • What can I do to rectify the situation in which Firefox will not open pdf files in the browser, even though I have already used all the help suggestions to no avail?

    I have tried everything Mozilla has suggested. Still when I click on a pdf, I get the message that the browser cannot open a pdf. I have gone through the help protocol, and it does not work.
    I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, and still not able to open pdf files within the browser.
    What else do I do, except go to IE or Chrome and just leave Firefox completely???

    A possible cause is the presence of a PDF plugin from an older Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

  • Firefox will not open PDF files from my financial website, but IE will.

    When I try to open reports in Fidelity, UBS, etc, the file downloads, but removes the extension so it won't open and I get the message "Unknown file type". I tried the same procedure in IE, and the files open without problem. I do not want to use IE. How do I get the files to open. This is a recent (~5 days) problem.
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • WHY WILL ADOBE READER NOT OPEN PDF FILES?

    I have just downloaded free Adobe Reader X. When I try to open a pdf file I immediately get a Microsfoft box saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"  I have Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced the problem and what did you do to fix the problem so pdf files open?  Setting in control panel is for al pdf's to be opened by Adobe Reader, and when I downloade, I briefly disabled my anti-virus software.  Really frustrating,  Can any one help?

    We saw the same symptoms as you describe.
    It turned out that the new sandbox feature in Reader X is not compatible with Re-Directed "Application Data" folders.
    Disabling the sandbox safety feature (via a special registry setting) appears to be a workaround, but somehow we now feel less safe.
    Folder redirection involves group policy as used in large corporations with IT teams to manage large numbers of PCs in companies.
    For example, in corporate environments, users My Documents and AppData folders are often re-directed at a secure server share, so that people's documents/photos/mp3s they save into my documents are secured on a server, instead of scattered about on various PCs.  Home users never use this technology.
    However, If you've got Adobe Reader X installed to a different DRIVE to the one where your APPDATA folder is, then you might get the same effect.
    I guess this could also happen to peole with Windows installed on their D: drives, and Adobe installed on the C: drive, or similar.

  • Adobe Reader will not open .pdf file.

    I have Adobe Reader Acrobat 8 Professional. 
    I am attempting to open a .pdf file - it opens, but then gives me an error message and closes Adobe. 
    Error Code 148:3  You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the probgram by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product. 
    I've done this, but receive the same error message.  Any ideas what's going on?

    Try using the Acrobat/Reader Cleaner Tool to remove the old version of Adobe Reader 8:  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then update your version of Adobe Reader:  http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    By the way if you have both installed remove Reader and run the repair of Acrobat.
