PROBLEM OPENING PDF WITH ADOBE X

when I try to open pdf, I get message    SELECT THE ENCODING THAT MAKES YOUR DOCUMENT READABLE

Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat X are 32-bit applications, and as such they do not install plugins for Internet Explorer x64. They will run happily on a 64-bit operating system but in Windows you must use a 32-bit browser to view PDFs which are flowed into the page using <embed> tags. Direct links to the files will be fine, as they will download and open in the desktop version of Reader if the browser doesn't have an internal handler, but embedded content requires a plugin.
There are no plans for a 64-bit version of Adobe Reader at this time.

  • Problems opening PDF with Adobe XI while using Windows 8.1.

    Everything appears to be up to date but when I click to open the PDF, it gives the error that I need to install "Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader".  It then asks you to proceed to download page to install but it does not allow installation of 8.1 as it says it is part of the Updates.  What am I mising?  I have gone through all the adobe programs and they all indicate the programs have already been installed and are up to date.

    Try http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Choose Windows 8, FP 15 for FireFox - NPAPI.
    TURN OFF THE USELESS FREE OFFER
    I think that will do it. Adobe's ability to mess up their own web site never ceases to surprise me.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I can't open pdf with adobe reader

    I had to download Adobe reader to open a PDF.
    Now I can't open the PDF and get a message that I must accept Adobe conditions forst which I did when installing it.
    I notice that it is a problem across different platforms all with Adobe reader.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks

    Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go.
    If you see the:  AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
    Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

  • Can't open PDFs with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

    I downloaded AR DC and cannot open PDFs while using Google Chrome.  I get a message that I have to accept the end user license but I can't find it.  If I switch to Firefox I can open the same PDF without a problem.  I am on MacBook Air Yosemite 10.10.3

    Chrome uses its own, built-in (and buggy) PDF viewer.

  • Problems opening PDF in Adobe Reader

    When I try to open a PDF using Adobe Reader the Adobe Reader page opens but not my PDF. The computer freezes for a few seconds and then the Sdobe Reader page shuts down. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no sucess. If it makes any difference I am using Firefox but I tried Explorer as well with the same result. Please help if you are able.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Adobe forums.
    Are you trying to open the PDF in web browser, or you are trying to open a PDF locally in Adobe Reader application ?
    - please save a PDF file locally and then open Adobe Reader to view the PDF file.
    Please share the result with me, so that I can help you accordingly.
    If you are able to open the PDF file locally, please see the document (to open the PDF file in Web Browsers) : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

  • Problems opening files with adobe reader 11

    I have just downloaded Adobe Reader 11 and now cannot open pdf files online (the computer freezes and I have to shut down explorer) or saved files either (adobe reader opens for about 5 seconds, then just shuts down).  I am operating on windows 7 and have all the current updates from windows.  Can anybody help please?

    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    Another thing to try: use Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader
    then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

  • Can't open pdf with Adobe reader 11.0

    2009 24" iMac G5 OSX 10.8.2
    After downloading pdfs, even Apple's iPhone manual and saving it to my hard drive, I cannot reopen it. The Adobe Reader error message says that the file is damaged and cannot be opened. I tried reinstalling 11.0 but to to no avail. The adobe site offered this link to their forum:

    Anybody with a similar problem. I'd greatly appreciate any ideas on how to resolve this.
    Thx,
    Terriershep.

    It sounds like that you downloaded the PDF in Safari and tried to open it later. The fix is to delete the Adobe plugins from your Library's Internet-Plugins folder or to use another browser, not Safari, to download your PDFs.

  • Problems opening documents with Adobe Reader XI

    I tried to open a file from my email account. I got a message from Adobe Reader XI that it could not open ecause 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.  I get this message with some documents which I have been able to open in the past and now I  can't.  I do not have Microsoft Office on my computer.  I have Microsoft Word Starter 2010.  I am a home user and this program works well as my Word software.  I have downloaded a trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and that hasn't solved my problem.  Can anyone help me?

    If you don't have Word but want to view Word docs, you can download and install the MS Word Viewer from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4.
    In fact, istalling it may clear up the file association problem all on it's own.

  • My free Acrobat trial expired and now I can't open PDFs with Adobe Reader

    I recently downloaded a free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro before purchasing the software.  I already have Adobe reader installed on my computer (Dell PC -- Windows 7).  I attempted to purchase Adobe Acrobat as the parent of a student and I was told I had to wait for verification, which could take 1-2 days.  In the mean time, EVERY time I try to open a PDF, it asks me to buy the software and reminds me my trial has expired.  How can I revert back to using the free Adobe Reader I have always used?  If I had known it would be this much trouble, I never would have tried the free trial!  Can anyone help me out?
    Thank you!!

    Open Adobe Reader | Edit | Preferences | General: use the Select Default PDF Handler to specify Adobe Reader instead of Acrobat.

  • 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.
