Opens pdf with windows media not acrobat reader

When I try to read PDF files, windows media opens not Acrobat reader, although I have checked acrobat reader to open these files.

fwiw - A combination of Acrobat / Adobe Reader that are not the same release is not recommended/supported by Adobe.
As long as you have to use Acrobat 9 it'd be best to stay with Adobe Reader 9.
Good to know is that the Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013 and is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...

  • Cannot open PDF file after update to Acrobat Reader 11.0.1 / 10.1.5

    I receive faxes from a service in the form of PDF files.  Up until today, I have been able to open them with no problem using Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 and lower. 
    Today, I updated Acrobat Reader to 10.1.5, and it's suddenly unable to open any of those files.  I tried uninstalling 10.1.5 and installing 11.0.1, and the same problem exists. 
    I also tried a computer with 11.0.0 that had not yet updated, and it works fine.
    Apparently, it's something about this latest update. 
    The PDF files open in other viewers like Foxit, Sumatra, and Chrome with no problem. 
    Here is the error:
    The offending file can be gotten from here:

    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

    Apparently I was incorrect on the Cisco box, we are using something different now. We use an Extended application server attached to a Meta Call feature server. This is a known issue for them.
    "We have discovered an issue that means that the format of fax PDFs generated on most versions of Metaswitch EAS is incompatible with the latest Adobe Reader (11.0.01).  This means that when your end users upgrade their Adobe Reader to 11.0.01, they will no longer be able to view faxes received from EAS in PDF format."
    The same is with version 10.1.5. I uninstalled 10.1.5 and reinstalled 10.1.4 and the problem went away. No updates for us for now

  • I can't play movie downloads.  I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and Quick time but they don't work.

    I can't play i-tunes downloaded movies.  I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and quick time.  Nothing works.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

  • Difference between opening pdf in IE and from Acrobat Reader?

    What is the difference between opening a pdf straight from a link in IE and going file open in Acrobat Reader, does one use the settings in IE and one use the settings in Acrobat Reader? I have a problem with some files on a company website which take a very long time to download when you click on them to open from IE but when they are saved to disk and then opened they are fine?
    Using Acrobat Reader 9.0 with windows XP SP2
    PS opening the file from the website works find with Adobe Acrobat 8 but not with 9.....

    Not sure about the exact differences but loading pdf files to view in a browser seems to have a high overhead (as in memory required to load and display the file). For that reason I prefer to view all pdf's in the reader. It's just quicker to load and smoother when scrolling to read.

  • When opening pdfs with windows explorer I get "fatal error unable to connect to dde server"

    I can't open pdfs using windows explorer. I double click, nothing happens, and after ten minutes I get the error message "fatal error Acrobat failed to connect to DDE server."
    I can however open the file if I open it in acrobat, although it is very slow.
    I always download the latest version of acrobat indeed did so last week. I'm on windows 7. I've had acrobat for many years on this machine and OS and never had this problem.

    Hey Eric,
    I’d suggest you to uninstall Adobe Reader XI using this cleaning tool Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs and re-install Adobe Reader using this link Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions to fix the issue.
    Re-install the program in administrator mode. Locate the program icon, right-click and select as “Run as administrator”.
    Let me know if the issue persist.

  • Opening PDFs with Preview instead of Acrobat within Safari

    I much prefer to use Preview for downloaded PDFs than have Acrobat open PDFs in Safari. How can I switch back to Preview once I have installed Acrobat 7?
    Thanks inadvance!

    PDF Browser Plug-in is a good alternative for viewing PDF files accessed via a web page. You can save or print from the pdf page. I've used it for a couple of years now, and IMO is a viable alternative to Preview, especially in quickly accessing the information within Safari.
    There is no charge for the plug-in if used for non-commercial purposes.

  • Cannot open pdfs  with adobe. receive message "adobe reader cannot open fild because it's either not

    message states "adobe reader cannot open "resume, ;wps because it's 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)

    Microsoft Word Viewer should be able to view .wps files; most likely the installation of the viewer will fix the file association.

  • How do I open pdfs in iBook and not Adobe reader? (OS X Mavericks)

    On iOS devices, I can save and read pdfs in iBooks. How do I do it in the new application for OS X Mavericks?

    Hello there, FootballTechGeek.
    The following Knowledge Base article shows how this can be done:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11329
    Particularly:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Signing with digital id in Acrobat Reader DC

    We have been using Acrobat Digital Signatures for long time. I have just installed Reader DC and I am trying to find out how it can be done in this new version. In the Edit / Preferences I am able to create digital ID and setup it's appearance but I cannot find how to sign the pdf document with this signature. Is it still possible ? How it should be done ??
    Regards,

    Acrobat/Reader 7 has not and will not be updated to work with Windows 7.
    Acrobat/Reader 7 is not longer supported or updated by Adobe.
    You should upgrade to version 9 or X.

  • Can open PDF with Reader V 8 but not with V 9

    My Problem is that I can open the PDF  C0000000005.pdf with every Version of Adobe Reader, but the PDF  C0000000006.pdf only opens with older Versions then Adobe Reader 9.1.
    The Adobe Reader 9.1 can also display the PDF  C0000000006.pdf when I open another PDF before.
    Is this a bug or is there anything what is must change in the options?
    Thanks in advance,
    Martin

    I have install the Version 9.1.2 on another PC too.
    And when no Acrobat Reader is already open and I make a double click at the C000000006.pdf, the Reader can not show this PDF.
    But it works fine, when I open first the Acrobat Reader V9.1.2 and then I choice the PDF over the menu.
    What can be different on this two methods to open the PDF?

  • Firefox not opening PDF with Adobe Reader for Mac

    I can't open PDF in Firefox with Adobe Reader for Mac, what should i do?

    I have come across this problem, but i have solved my problem. The default PDF viewer with Firefox browser on Mac is Preview, so you can't use adobe reader to open PDF files, if you want to use Adobe Reader to open pdf with Firefox on mac, you need set adobe reader as your mac's default pdf viewer. Do as follows:
    1. Select any PDF file and choose File > Get Info.
    2. Choose Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer from the Browser in Download Action window.
    3. Click OK to set Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer.

  • Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

    I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
      Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
    What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

    What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
    PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
    If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

  • I am trying to open pdf in Pro and not Reader.  Please advise how I can fix this.

    Eric-
    FYI, this is a forum for storage and sharing...photoshop.com and revel. If you have acrobat issues you might want to make a note of the other forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com shows a list of all of them, and specifically http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat  this one for Acrobat
    But, since I have had this same issue myself...
    On Windows, locate your pdf document. Right click it and select "open with". Select Adobe Acrobat. That should do it. On MAC, I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is a similar setting.
    Good luck.

  • Fonts installed with windows are not listed in acrobat 8 professional

    Fonts installed with windows are not listed in acrobat 8 pro, what do you need to do to make them availabe in the program

    If you have Word installed, make a simple PDF from Word that has text set in Tahoma, then print to the 'Adobe PDF' printer.  Open the PDF file you just created, then hit Ctrl-D.  In the Fonts tab you will see what font the PDF file want to use and what font it actually uses.
