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

  • Not able to open pdf and adobe reader on windows xp sp3.

    Hello,
    I am not able to open pdf and adobe reader on my windows xp sp3 computer. I have reinstalled adobe reader 11.0.3 twice, but, no luck. I would appreciate if you could help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet?

    I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

    Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.

  • Unable to open pdf thro adobe reader in my IMac

    unable to open pdf thro adobe reader in my IMac

    If it is a regular .pdf file, try asking on the Adobe Reader forum.
    If it is an Adobe DRM .pdf file, try opening using a copy of Digital Editions authorized with the correct ID the book is licensed to.

  • How to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

    how to change outlook mail using Word to try and open PDF to Adobe Reader XI?

    I've never found technology to make life easier. It mainly offers the promise (often unfulfilled) of making it cheaper or quicker. This didn't happen when the Girl Guides put a form in an envelope and posted it. But they probably laid off the person whose job that was with the promise of everything being easy on the internet.
    PDF has, curiously, become a victim of its own success. A few years ago, you could say to people "You need Adobe Reader" and it was the only serious game in town. So they got it and it works. Now everyone is making their own PDF reader for whatever reason, fewer and fewer people can be sure of having Reader. (PDF readers come at least with every Mac, every Windows 8 system, Chrome and FireFox, which covers a LOT of ground).
    This is coupled with a bizarre decision Adobe made a few years ago to have two kinds of form, one of which all the other software fails with (and, as I noted, even Adobe's own software on iPad and Android fails). This was a neat idea which was designed for big corporations. Then the really big mistake: giving everyone with Acrobat the tools to make these new kinds of form, and making it seem they were preferre or the only game in town. This is finished now (Acrobat 11 doesn't include this big boy's software) but the damage is done, oh how it is done.
    Even regular forms tend to only work properly in real Adobe Reader. The fact is, if you make or distribute PDF forms you need to tell people to use Adobe Reader, and to know exactly how to help them do that. If people can't do that or their users won't be motivated to bother, then PDF forms are no longer a suitable choice. Sad but true.

  • 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:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1781038
    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.

  • Problem opening pdf documents with reader

    We have an hp computer running on windows 8.  It came with adobe reader installed which worked fine until about a month ago.  Since then when you try to open a pdf document on an online page, a message comes up "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.  If it is running, pleae exit and try again."  When you try to open other documents that have been saved to the computer a message comes up Adobe Reader Protected Mode which indicates that Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.  It then asks if you want to open reader with protected mode disabled, always open it that way or not open with protected mode disabled.  If you choose the open it with protected mode disabled this time, a message comes back indicating Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.
    We've uninstalled reader and downloaded apparently successfully the version for windows 8 several times, but without any success - same messages come up.  Sound familiar at all?  I don't want to have to pay a computer guy for something that really seems like it should be an easy fix (though I'm not a tech person, so not sure I find too many fixes easy!). 
    Thanks in advance for whatever anyone can offer.

  • Problem Opening and Running Adobe Reader XI

    I am using Windows 8 and Adobe Reader XI (Version 11.0.03). At first, I was able to use Reader just fine. Then yesterday the program would freeze just after I tried opening it. I would see a spinning wheel on the right of the window that would stop spinning almost as soon as it would start. Shortly thereafter, I would see (Not Responding) at the top of the window. Then, without clicking the "X" in the upper right corner, the program would close by itself. This hapens whether I try to open a pdf from my C drive or a flash drive, and also when I just double-click the desktop Reader icon. I have tried ununstalling and re-installing to no avail. I have also tried fixing the problem through clickining "Change" in the "Programs and Features" part of the Control Panel. After going through that last process, the message indicated nothing was worng. Please help. I use fillable and savable pdfs in my business. Thank you.

    Some 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)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • 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.

  • 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.
