Not possible to update Adobe Reader because of the language

I am located in Japan but I do not speak Japanese. When I receive an update notification and try to update my Adobe Reader, it redirects me to the Japanese website and since there is no possibility to change the language I cannot run the update. Why the notification is in English and then everything changes into Japanese? This is very user unfriendly and also somehow short-sighted, assuming that all the people located in a certain place speak the language of this place. There should be a choice, at least for English, if not for all other available languages.
Is there anything I can do to solve it? Maybe I am just overseeing the button since it is all in Japanese only?

More and more websites do that; it's a real pest! "You are in Japan, so you will be served in Japanese. No exceptions!" It took me ages to use Google without being redirected to Google Japan. It took me ages to get Amazon Japan to implement English pages...
Adobe is worse; try to update your Adobe ID, and you will end up in an endless redirect loop between the English and Japanese content!
Anyway, to your problem with the Adobe Reader update; do you also get redirected if you try to download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ ? If yes, your final option will be to download the installers/updates by navigating the Adobe FTP site ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/
If you tell me your operating system and the Reader version you are trying to update, I can post you a direct download link.

Why is it not possible to update Adobe Revel on the iPad and iPhone?

I try to update Adobe Revel on the iPad and iPhone but iit seems not to be possible!

Adobe Revel 2.3.2 installation issue

The updated Adobe Reader App on the iPad will not flatten a PDF Form before emailing.

My iPad automatically updated and since that update, we cannot fill in PDF forms and flatten to share via email. When we share via email it shares the original file. The help section shows that option to flatten the file, but when actually performing the functions it just automatically attaches the document to the email without that security option. Has anyone run into this issue? How did you resolve it?

As an update, I am finding that I can still send documents via email (and given the option to flatten) if the document was already in my adobe prior to this update, even if I changed the document. However, If I am opening a new document right now from dropbox or some other source and editing and saving it to adobe, it will only email the original blank document.

After update, Adobe Reader isn't working properly.

I use quickbooks as my accounting sfotware. Everything was running smooth, untill I updated Adobe Reader. After the update, adobe is running fine. I can open files that were saved prior to the update. But now, everytime, I get quickbook to export a file, it stop responding and I have to force quit it to continue.
Would be great if you could help.
Thanks

Sorry for not being more clear.
When I click 'print' to print an invoice from quickbooks online, a window pops open and usually there is a printer icon on the top left of the page and a preview of what I'm printing loads in the window. The day I posted my original message, however, the window pops up, there is no printer icon, and the preview does not load and I get the following message:
If you don't see a preview inside this window you need to get Adobe Reader, it's free!
1. important, if a file download window opened, close it.
2. click here to download Adobe Reader
3.Follow download instructions
4. cancel this window and click print again.
I uninstalled all versions of Adobe reader and reinstalled the latest version successfully and I'm still getting this message. Thank you for your willingness to help as I really NEED to be able to print invoices for my customers.

Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' 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). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

Obviously your download was not successful.
What is your operating system? How exactly do you download such files?

Can not update Adobe Reader as it did not come from Apple App Store.

Can not update Adobe Reader or Adobe Lightroom 5 as they did not come through Apple App Store. Note says I selected not to accept apps other than from Apple. Just started backing up new Iphone and Ipad to Macbook Pro. Is there a setting some where that would allow updates?

Yes there is a setting for that. Open system preferences go to the security & privacy sections, click the lock icon and type in your password. Then in the "Allow applications downloaded from: area tick Anywhere.

I have OS X version 10.9.2 and I updated Adobe Reader but now it does not work.

This is the message I get: "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser"

Have you done what the message told you to do?
Go to your applications, find Reader, open it, agee to the EULA.

Can't update Adobe Reader 10.01 (Mac Version)

I am running OS 10.6.7 on a MacPro (MacPro 4,1: 8 core - - 2mx 2.93 FHz Quad-Core Xeon). I installed Adobe Reader 10.01 uneventufully. However, many times when on the web Safari says it can't find Adobe Reader to read a document and I have to locate Adobe Reader manually. This didn't happen until after I updated to Acrobat 10.01. Thinking that this might be a bug, I looked for an update for Acrobat Reader. But when I attempt to update Adobe Reader to 10.03, it goes through the motions and then gives the follolwing error message:
"The update could not be applied because the Adobe Reader application contents were modified since the original installation."
"Please reinstall Adobe Reader and check for updates again."
"Error 1301"
I followed directions, reinstalled Adobe Reader and immediately afterwards attempted to install the update. Same error message.
I threw out the old version of Adobe Reader 10.01, downloaded it again, reinstalled it and then attempted the update, Same error message.
I've repaired permissions, used AppleJack to clean caches, used DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory. Same error message when attempting to update Adobe Reader.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

REFRESH - I have this same problem. I would like to update this, since I understand there are various security fixes included with each update of Adobe Reader. Is this correct? If no one has an answer, then how can I trash the updater so I at least don't get this annoying message anymore??? It pops up EVERY STINKING DAY!!!

This is the third time I have entered this question and answered with my PW, etc. I have updated my IPad with IOS 7, and updated Adobe Reader with ver. 11.3.1. I cannot get any files or folders to come up when I click on Adobe, even though my Usage indica

I Have updated IPad to IOS 7.1.1, and also updated Adobe Reader to ver. 11.3.1. When I click on the Adobe icon, I get no files or folders to come up, just a blank screen. I know from my usage indicator on the IPad that I have 36 GB of PDF files resident, which I expected, but how do I access them. I had updated from IOS 5 because Adobe was crashing so often that it made it difficult to work.

If restarting the app or your iPad/iPhone does not work, we are not aware of any other ways to fix this particular problem. Uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe Reader may be the only option left. It will clean up the "inconsistent" application data. But it is not even guaranteed to fix the problem.
If you uninstall Adobe Reader (or any other iOS apps), iOS will erase all of the application data including settings/preferences and PDF documents stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.
We'd highly recommend backing up your PDF documents regularly (not just this time) so that you do not lose them when something goes wrong.
How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
Backup your PDF documents.
Uninstall Adobe Reader.
Download and reinstall Adobe Reader from the App Store.
Alternatively, you can store your PDF documents in cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive), which will eliminate the need to backup local files.

Problems with uninstalling and updating Adobe Reader 9.x

I have an issue with updating Adobe Reader 9.4.5. I get regularly automatic update routines and success reports after I ran them. However, when I open Adobe Reader it still shows up as version 9.4.5. So I tried to uninstall Adobe Reader completely. First of all, in the software panel two Adobe Reader versions show up: 9.4.5 & 9.3.5. Of those two, I could only uninstall the Adobe Reader 9.4.5. The 9.3.5 version doesn't sucessfully enter into an uninstall routine. As my computer expertise is limited, I don't know if there are other ways to remove that program successfully. Another odd thing is that when I open Adobe Reader, the version displayed is 9.4.5 although that was the one which seems to have uninstalled correctly. As you see, it's all a bit of a mess and I would appreciate your help with addressing this issues. Many thanks in advance.

You may want to try the following.
Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Then, download the Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and perform a clean install.

Confused about my recently updated Adobe Reader

Very confused with the 'updated' Adobe Reader pdf program I think I might have downloaded (currently unable to use it or even open it). I am a retired senior and no longer work in an office, thus I have no need for your expensive programs. I would just like the free pdf program, if that is possible. Have had a very difficult time trying to first: figure out how to use Adobe Reader since I first got in several years ago and secondly: how to make and send pdfs.
I use Adobe Reader to download pdf files that are sent to me or are relevant to my hobbies. Maybe the free version is no longer available? I would also like to have my pdf files back, if I accidently uploaded them to your website. How do I do that?
thank you. (completely confused)

Adobe Reader is a free program, it can be used to view PDF files, fill in fillable forms, and send PDF files via email.
Adobe Reader cannot create or edit PDF files, unless in combination with a paid CreatePDF subscription.
You write that you uploaded your PDF files - to where: https://files.acrobat.com/ or https://workspaces.acrobat.com/ ? Either way, after uploading, your documents should still be on your disk. If not, you can download them again at any time.

Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.
