Outlook 2013 & Adobe Reader XI. Can't open attachments.

Default mail client is set to Outlook. Word documents open ok. Microsoft took remote control of my computer & said problem is with Adobe.

Yeah... It's NEVER a Microsoft problem according to them... unless you're willing to pay three to four times the price of the PC for them to "fix it", and even then they don't guarantee anything. Just got a new Windows 8 laptop. Doesn't even come with a 30 day trial of Office 2013. There's a link to sign up for a paid subscription to Office 365, $480 a year for the same thing I have in Office 2010, and a lousy mail client that doesn't work with my SMTP servers, let alone Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Have you tried Thunderbird from Mozilla? I have seven e-mail accounts on four servers and can connect to ALL of them simltaneously. Something Outlook will NEVER be able to do - three email accounts on one server. Oh, and I have no problem with PDFs in Thunderbird.

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
please help!

This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.

Can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf.

can open adobe reader, but can't open a pdf. have uninstalled reader 2 times and reinstalled it, but still get same results. running windows xp.

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

I installed the latest version of Adobe Reader and Can't open the files

I just installed the lastest version of Adobe Reader and can't open any files

Hi,
I am unable to open pdf files by double clicking on the file. I get an error message: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server.

Even though I have Adobe Reader, I can't open my bank stmts. like I used to. What am I doing wrong??

I have been opening my bankstatements online for a long, long, time. All of a sudden, I can't get them to open. All I get is a blank screen with a tiny "x" in the upper left-hand corner. I'm pretty new to computers, so this may be a stupid question, but what am I doing wrong??

I am using Windows 7, IE XI (?), and Adobe reader XI. However, just to let you know, the problem has been solved almost by accident. I happened to mention the problem to a friend who had had a similar problem and been told to us a different browser. She did and her problem was solved. I switched to Google Chrome, and my problem seems to be gone as well. Thanks for your time.

Adobe Reader/Acrobat can't open online PDF's Suggestions ???

Hi There-
I am using Firefox for my browser and if I try to open any online pdf page I get the following message
"The Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your web browser and try again"
I have checked for updates in Firefox, Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe reader, which is 9.3 version. But to no avail,,,I still get the same message. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Sincerely- Doug
P.S. Let me know if you need further information to help diaganose the problem.

I upgraded from OS Leopard 10.5 to OS Snow Leopard 10.6 recently, which is why I mentioned it could be "the" cause or "one" cause of me not being able to read online pdf's. My online pdf bank statements do not open up with Reader 9.3.3. The website simply says I need to download "Asian Font Pack" in order to read the pdf document. I've downloaded all languages, yet I'm still getting the same message. I've also triple checked to see if I have an older version of Reader that might be of hindrance. I only have 9.3.3 installed.
I am able to read pdf's already downloaded on my computer, just not the online pdf's I want to open.
So, I'm not sure if the problem is Adobe Reader or me upgrading to Snow Leopard (since I was able to read pdf's with Leopard).
I hope this clarifies my previous plea for help. Thanks.
Alan

Adobe Reader 9 - Can't Open Embedded Excel Links

I currently have Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and Microsoft Office 2007 installed. I am able to open a PDF document using the Adobe Reader software but I am unable to open embedded links to Excel documents. I receive the message that the document you are attempting to open may contain macros, etc. do you want to Open. I click on Open and than receive a message that Windows can't find the *.xls document. This happens on both a Windows XP and Windows 7 platform. I tested this same process on an Windows XP machine with an older version of Adobe Reader and the links worked fine. Any suggestions to resolve this problem.

The application doesn't actually integrate with Adobe Reader, it just opens it by calling it with the command line and using the filename as a parameter. The application only checks if the Reader's window raised an error.

Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files

My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.

It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103).

Downloaded Adobe Reader, now can't open PDFs in Safari

I was forced to download Adobe Reader to view and print something and then promptly deleted it. The app, the dmg, and the AdobePDFViewer.plugin from my library are now all gone. Nothing remains of them on my computer. Now, ever since that download, I get the screen below when I try to view a pdf in Safari.
I have searched all over the net, like I always do before bugging all of you, but still can't fix it.
1- I can't read it
2-What do I have to do to get pdfs to open in Safari like they did before I installed Reader?
Spec (Exact same as before Reader download):
Safari 6.1.1
OSX 10.8.5
Thank you!

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Cannot download Adobe Reader. Can't open any pdf files

Hi. I am using google chrome as my browser. i tried to download adobe reader. it downloads the .exe file. i try to run it and i save it. (after saying yes to security). But then it doesn't do anything and I can't download any Adobe products. My flash driver was also removed. I tried to install McAfee and it started doing this. Is there a conflict between McAfee and the Adobe reader?

Download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
What is "flash driver"?

I just downloaded adobe reader and can't print a pdf file

i just downloaded adobe reader and cannot print a pdf file.

Same or related issue.
After installing latest updates of Mac Mavericks and Adobe Reader, I can't open pdfs downloaded from the web or print pdfs from the web. Using "export" doesn't help. Same with the print/pdf workaround.
I uninstalled/reinstalled Reader. I indicated Adobe Reader as my default opener for pdf-type files. No help.
I'm using Safari.

While most can open my .pdf attachments, I have one client who cannot. However, they can if sent from another person in my office. I am using Adobe Reader X1. Can anyone help?

While most can open my .pdf attachments to emails, I have one client who cannot. However, they can open and read if sent from another person in my office who using the same Program as I do. I am using Adobe Reader X1. Can anyone help?

What is the operating system on that problem machine? Reader XI version? Email client?
What exactly means "cannot"?

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

I just upgraded to photoshop 6 and i cannot install because i am getting a message that reads "You can't open the application "Install Adobe Photoshop 6.0" because it may be damaged or incomplete".

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

you probably have an incomplete/corrupt download.
to confirm check the file size against the expected file size.
then re-download perhaps with a different browser.
