.PDFs do not open and Reader XI itself does not open either

I can see an instance of AcroRD32.exe in the Process list in Windows Task Manager and the Mem Usage keeps increasing, but nothing ever displays. Running XP.
Reading through other posts, the common remedy was to repair in Control Panel. Tried that. Also completely uninstalled Reader, then ran another Adobe clean-up program in case fragments remained, then reinstalled. Still nothing.
I'm pretty sure that this problem began when I installed Reader XI.
Grateful for any constructive suggestions.
Thanks.
Dan

Found a post by Pat Willener (sp) replying to someone else with a similar issue. The following suggestions were made:
"Regarding your problem, 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 followed #1 and accepted the EULA. No change.
I cannot open Reader by itself.
Already followed the steps in #3.
Still trying to patiently wait for someone with some more insight. Thanks.

My iPod shuffle, which I prchased in 2009 only worked for a short time so I put it back in the box and just recently took it out. I will not charge and the power light does not come on. It was faulty from the start and thought I was out the money I paid.

My iPod shuffle only worked for a short time. It will not charge and the power light does not come on. Bought it in 2009. Put it back in the box and in my desk. Recently tried to get it to work again but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Very disappointed with the product although my wifes work perfectly.

Can't say I haven't done the same kind of thing...keep finding things I had every intention of...
If you have the chance stop by an Apple Retail store and talk to them about it...they often work deals for replacement of out of warranty non-working items for prices around half price. Won't hurt to stop by and see what they will do for you.

HT4623 I'm updating from 4 not 5 and under General it does not have a Software Update option. How do i update ???

I'm updating from 4 not 5 and under General it does not have a Software Update option. How do i update ???

To update the iOS to 5.1.1 from iOS version end prior to iOS 5 you must connect the iPad to a computer running iTunes.
Start iTunes on the computer, connect the iPad, select the iPad in iTunes on the computer. If you are not automatically prompted to update select the General or Summary tab and then click on Check for Updates.

Norton 360 premier is not compatible and the identity safe does not work with firefox 4 it worked with earlier version. If there is a solution great otherwise I am going back to IE.

All my passwords are Norton identity safe protected. If firefox4 does not work with it I am forced to go back to IE. Previous versions had a patch. I only realized the problem after downloading the new update. I wish I never had.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

On iphoto my stop import is not working and the force quit does not work either

please help - the stop import and force quit on iphoto both not working. thx!

This happened to me today on the iPad; I put in the password 4 or 5 times. I began to think my account had been hacked. I tried again on my iPhone and it worked first time. Then I tried again on the iPad and same thing—worked first time. Maybe just a temporary glitch in the server?

Hi... I would like to purchase a Tablet Sony Xperia Z 2 10.1 (the last one of the Z series) and I was told that Adobe does not support Sony anymore.... I need to be able to open and read Adobe PDF files and I would like to know if this tablet can still use Flash Player...
Is there anyo who can help me with this? I asked in the shop and I was told "yes of course" , but when I contacted Sony directly I was advised to check with Adobe as apparently in the recent months Adobe and Sony haven't been getting along anymore...

You may be mixing up two entirely different Adobe products.
1. Adobe Flash Player. Needed to view web pages designed with Flash. Not needed to view PDF files. Not available for Android (not just Sony).
2. Adobe Reader. Reads PDF files. However, the Android can also read most PDF files without needing Adobe Reader.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

How to open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents

My problem is how to use my BB 9800 software version 6.0.0.546 to read/view pdf files and microsoft office documents. I have also bought documents to go from online and have installed it on my phone, but whenever i try to open it I receive a message that it is incompactible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Sammy.
Why not install a 3rd party PDF reader and Word Doc reader to help open and read pdf and micrsoft word (.doc) files or documents? You can google it and select one whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related converting work. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.
Best regards,
Arron

I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07. When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition. I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself. Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition. I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself. Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

Firefox crashes on startup and prompts me to enter Safemode. I then uninstalled it (version 19.0) and now Safemode itself will not open.

Prior to attempting to uninstall version 19.0 and reinstall it, Safemode was working and usable. After reinstalling version 19.0 Firefox will crash during start up as it did before, and ask me to open in Safemode. Safemode will then crash/not open and the bug report service will open. Clicking "Restart" just opens up another bug report service windows on top of the first one. Clicking "X" or "Quit" does not, allowing me to exit the service window. Firefox's inability to be used properly began shortly after the latest windows update (installed during shutdown/next restart) around 1 AM on (I think) February 27th or 28th. I have not tried installing an older version. I did try to run the 20.0 Beta version, but I encountered the exact same problems. This is the only error code available to me, despite sending at least 5 or more. "bp-b4a3d0ce-8747-46a9-9c04-efc892130302"
This error code "bp-f6520eaa-36e4-4098-a2a0-c61c32130302" has replaced the previous one after I tested the 20.0 beta version.
Hope that helps.

hello, this crash is related to your graphics hardware & a recent windows update. please start firefox in safemode (by pressing the shift-key while it is launching) & go to ''firefox > options > advanced > general'' & disable hardware acceleration.
for some background on that issue you can also refer to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812683 bug #812683]

Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?

Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?

Hi Keith,
PDF Pack is a conversion tool which would convert PDF to different formats and vice versa. It cannot be used for reading PDFs.
If you want to open and read PDF file you can use Adobe Reader.
You can download Adobe Reader from below mentioned link.
Adobe Reader
let me know if you have any other questions.

My brother uses Jaws, a braille device to read his computer and Iphone. Jaws does not read a .pdf but it will read a .doc. What do you seggest?

My brother uses Jaws, a braille device to read his computer and Iphone. Jaws does not read a .pdf but it will read a .doc. What do you suggest?

PDFs are notorious for being difficult to navigate with a screen reader, because nearly all PDFs are either not remediated for accessibility or poorly remediated. Hopefully that landscape is changing with the proposed new 508 rules, which substantially raise the bar for high quality document accessibility and hopefully will have some legal teeth. Still, JAWS should at least attempt to read any PDF that is not image-only. It should infer the tags if no tags are present. I am not at all familiar with JAWS but it sounds to me like the software may not be configured properly for reading PDFs. The JAWS company Freedom Scientific may be able to help, or posting in a JAWS support forum may yield useful information, or maybe a JAWS expert will chime in here. Sorry I am not able to be of help.
