To solve the pesky file association problem after installing a new Adobe Acrobat Reader software program in Windows XP, try this:
1. RIGHT-CLICK on the icon of the older problem pdf file that youre trying to open.
2. A menu window will appear. In this window, click open with.
3. Another menu window will appear listing most of the programs on your had drive. If you have installed a new Acrobat Reader, it should be there. Click ONLY ONCE (do not double-click) on it to highlight it.
4. In the same window, near the bottom -- but NOT in the list of programs -- there is box labeled Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. Click on this box.
5. Click OK.
This should solve the problem for ALL Adobe Reader pdf files on your hard drive.
Hope this helps!

  • Acrobat reader doesn't open automatically anymore

    Hello,
    since my last update to READER 8, Acrobat reader doesn't open automatically on clicking on a PDF file anymore. When I download a PDF file for opening it doesn't work either. I need to "open with Acrobat Reader 8" to succeed. I tried to update to Reader 9 and have the same problem. So now I need to first download and Save on my HD the PDF file and then open with Reader 9 to open it.
    Could you please telle me how to come back to the old way to open my files just by clicking on them.
    Thanks

  • Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

    Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
    So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
    For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
    Or it may be in the Registry.
    Click on Start >  Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
    This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

  • 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).

  • Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

    I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox.  In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding.  If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine.  I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs.  The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue.  I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

    This appears to have reduced the time to load a document.  Thanks Jimb      From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

  • Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

    Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Pdf files will not open upon downloading

    I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them.  Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download.  Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences.  Any other thoughts?  A solution would be most helpful.  (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

  • PDF file won't open with double click

    Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
    Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
    Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
    Very frustrating!

    Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
    In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
    So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.

  • I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the phone. When I check e-mail via  my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

    I recently purchased an Iphone 6plus and I am receiving pdf attachments that are shown as winmail.dat attachments on the iphone. When I check the same e-mail on my macbook pro the attachment is a pdf and I can open it. Why is this happening?

    I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
    i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
    so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
    hope this helps!

  • PDF Files with bookmarks open in iPad iBooks without the bookmarks.

    PDF Files created with Adobe Acrobat or other PDF file creating software open in iPad iBooks with the Bookmarks.  How do you access those.

    since iBooks doesn't have an "Open In" button or feature, how do I access PDF's in iBooks with Adobe Reader?

  • Linked PDF files won't open in Preview

    I have a a few Table of Content PDF files linked to a large number of PDF files in subdirectories (the old AGES library system).  When I try to open the linked file in Preview i get an error saying that I don't have permission to open this file.  Adobe Reader works fine and I can open the individual files in preview but trying to open them from the TOC PDF file doesn't work.  Repair permissions says everything is fine. I'd rather not install Adobe Reader so is there something I'm missing in trying to get Preview to work?
                                                                                                                                                                             Thanks

    I can suggest a workaround, though I don't know what the cause of the problem is. It just showed up recently in my installation of MacOSX 10.8.5.
    I opened all the files that had difficulty with permissions. Then I closed them and opened the file with the links (the Table of Contents file). At that point the links worked. Go figure.
    Opening the Table of Contents file first and then opening and closing the problem files resulted in the links taking me to the first page of the linked document, rather than the correct page within it.
    I had checked file permisssions previously. That was not the probelm. I even used the Terminal to reset them to universal read/write, but that made no difference.
    HTH.

  • Pdf files will not open

    Hi,
    I have viewed through this forum and did not find a problem with similar symptoms.
    I upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Reader 9 and then the .pdf files will not open.
    Actions and Observations/Symptoms:
    1)  After I clicked onto the pdf document icon - nothing happens.
    2)  I right click onto the pdf icon and chose "open with Adobe 9" and get the same response.  Nothing happens.
    3)  I go to the the start menu - select Adobe Reader 9 - and the program does not even open.
    =======
    I have since removed Reader 9 and re-installed Reader 8.  I tried the above actions and got the same behaviour.  Not a whole lot happens.  It seems like something is broken after the first initial upgrade.
    In fact - I went to the folder:  
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader  and
    tried to open Reader by double clicking onto "AcroRd32.exe" and there was no response.
    I'm completely lost!  Can anyone share a fix to my problem?
    Thanks,
    Mike
    Some hardware & OS background info:  Toshiba Laptop - 1.58 Ghz, 3GB RAM - M/S Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3

    I can't explain the cause to the problem - but I found two "work-arounds" to get me running again.
    Workaround #1:
    I found another program (and there are many) on the web that will also read .pdf files.  I downloaded  "Foxit Reader" , installed it and it works.  I can now view my pdf docs!
    However - I got so used to Adobe Reader - I really wanted to get Reader working again.
    Workaround #2:
    I re-installed Adobe Reader 8.
    Instead of running the usual Adobe installation script that I got from the web, I copied (from another PC's C-drive)  the "Reader 8.0" folder and all its contents into my current C- drive directory structure  C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
    I re-booted the PC and can now open my pdf files using Reader 8.
    It seems to work - but I don't know what the effects of this installation method will have in the future - or the interaction it will have with other programs.  I guess when I need to remove the program in the future  - I'll have to do it manually, since it doesn't even register in the "Add or Remove Programs" under Control Panel.
    ===============
    Hope this helps out anyone else with similar symptoms.
    In the original problem, it's unfortunate that there were no error messages whatsoever when I tried opening the pdf files.  It was like as if Reader was not even activated or even loaded on my PC.  I'll bug me for a while - but at least I got Reader working again (for now....)!
