Problem with opening Acrobat

Hi!
I purchased Acrobat within the Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite. It has been working fine until last night when all of a sudden I was unable to launch it. I tried to repair the install and also reinstalled it. But I still cannot get it to open. Is there anything I can do short of removing Acrobat from my computer? Is there a way to do that without having to remove the entire suite?
Thanks for your help ahead of time.

Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
- In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
- Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
- Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

I get this message when I try to open .pdf files in Mozilla: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1014:1014)

What can I do to get this to work?

We were getting the same error on a Win 7 machine which had Acrobat 7 (running in compatability mode) and Reader X installed. When the user was trying to open the link from an email the error 'There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat.....(0:521) would appear and the pdf would not load.
Investigating the problem I can across an article to uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet). Undertaking this procedure in Acrobat Reader X however, I could not uncheck this and the path the app was showing was for Acrobat 7!?!
Therefore, opened Acrobat 7 and undertook the same procedure. Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet) which I was able to do, saved and closed the application.
Rechecked Acrobat X and the "Display PDF in browser" could be deselected and the path was now for ..\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Retried the original email with the link to the pdf and it now opens without error.
Not too sure if this will help but just thought I would share.

Adobe Reader X: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. (127:0)

I am getting an error when i am opening an pdf document inside an other application (Attensity Respond).
"There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please. exit and try again (127:0)"
I am using Adobe Reader Version 10.0.1 installed under Citrix XenApp 6.5 Windows 2008R2.
Has anyone an idea how to fix this issue?
Thanks
Martin

I don't know what this means. All I can suggest that you try updating your old Reader version to the latest (10.1.9 or 11.0.6).

There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

I have XP professional, IE 8, and Adobe Reader 9.3. When I try to open any pdf files from a web page I see the following error: "These is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again. "
Although, the web pdf rendering returns an error, I'm able to open pdf files locally.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I had similar problems with Windows XP SP3 and Adobe Reader 9.3 and I uninstalled AR 9.3 and went to:
http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ and installed Adobe Reader 8.3. No problems after that. However,
ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ posted this reply to one of my earlier posts. So, I don't know what to think...

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again.

We have Adobe Reader 8.1.3 set to open in the browser.
We are trying to open PDF files within IE Browser. While opening multiple documents in the IE Browser, we get "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." error, once we click on the "OK" button, PDF file opens in the Adobe reader. This happens randomly while some files open up in IE Browser and some files get the above mentioned error message and open in the Adobe Reader.
We need to open all the PDF files in the IE Browser. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I may be better off without the tool bar, but I have found anohter solution;
. Open Adobe Reader,
            go to edit menu,
            under Preferences
            go to Internet, uncheck "Display pdf in browser"
The pdf files then open, but not in the browser

Hi
I have this problem with Adobe Reader 11.0.01. It displays this message "There is a Problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (1014:1014). This is in Internet explorer when attempting to open Reader links.

Try the Acrobat and Reader Cleaner tool. Then re-install.

I keep getting that message when I try to open a PDF link from a webpage. When I open the Windows Task Manager under the Applications tab I do not see Adobe Acrobat/Reader listed at all.
How do I fix this problem?

I may as well answer my own question.
After typing "patch" and reading a few threads I found out how to fix it.

Although I have found other threads in this forum relating to this error - none of the fixes appear to work. I've not found precisely the same error number (0:521), might I need a different fix for this? Has anyone else had the same error?
Just to note, this appears to be an issue with Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 while viewing pdfs 'in-browser' i.e. using the plugin. Other versions of IE on other machines and FF on the same machine work fine on the same pdfs. It also works if you right click the pdf, download and view it in Acrobat Reader 'locally'.
Any help greatly appreciated, I'm stumped.

I used to be able to open pdf files directly in Explorer now I just get a blank screen and Done. Can anyone help me please?

http://www.essexinfo.net/queens-road-residents-association/assets/documents/village-voices is one example but a whole lot of the material which has been uploaded as pdf files over the last four years is now unviewable - if you click on the link you just get a black page. The main site url is http://www.essexinfo.net and our site is the Queens Road Residents Association. I have just gone through every link on the site and a number of links when clicked on will not bring up the material. I tried going into Adobe 10 on my computer and disenabling protected mode as was suggested on your forum and at first when I went back into the essex info site it seemed to have worked when I clicked on a link that had only produced a black page. However when I went back to test all the other links I found that the problem was still re-occuring. This is really weird as the site and my connections to it which I sometimes make by directly accessing the site and sometime via a link from our QRRA blog have always worked perfectly with no problems up to now. I downloaded adobe 10.1 on 8 March 2011.
I contacted essexinfo separately but they said everything seemed to be OK at their end working from within the system.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)

Trying to open a streamed PDF in an IFRAME in Internet Explorer 9 on my Win7 64bit machine.
This results in the following dialog:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)
The PDF is streamed (not read from disc) from a servlet in our Java WebSphere environment and the call looks like this:
https://intranetserver.com/myapplication/OpenDocumentServlet.pdf?documentToOpenID=1
The Servlet sets content-type header application/pdf and content-length and writes the bytes to the buffer.
Does the error dialog even come from Acrobat? When the dialog opens there is no active AcrReader process visible in task manager.
Please advise!

Solved. Our IT dept. responsible for packaging and deployment repacked and redeployed 11.0.9. Unknown what changes were made to make it work.

Hi Claudio, Thanks for your assistance. I'm still confused. When I click on this site it tells me: To view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, CLICK PAGE, and then click Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer. I do not see "Page" on this list. There is a "pace"... though.
