I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help. I get the same message. What to do?

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Adobe Acrobat 9.4 Pro / Win7 Enterprise (64bit) - problem opening pdf

Hello,
i got problems opening pdf files.
when i try to open the pdf file i get the message 'access denied'. That happens when i try to open it with a standard user.
opening that file 'as administrator' works fine.
I tried the Win7 compatibility check and Win7 tells me that Acrobat isn't compatibel. I tried to run acrobat.exe in different compatibilty modes (XP SP2/SP3, Win NT) -> no cure . Only thing working is to run Acrobat as administrator )

You can try to enable Admin rights on your computer.
In start menu use the search field, type in cmd once you see that in your search result right click on cmd and Select "Run as Administrator".
Once the Command Prompt open's type in.
net user administrator /active:yes hit enter after typing it.
You should the message "The command completed successfully."
After you try this launch the software.

Problems opening PDFs in Firefox.

I have a problem opening PDFs. Here's the deal. For my website, I have XEA based Adobe forms. Per http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/kb/xfa-forms-firefox-chrome.html I set PDFs to Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox.....and that works great.
BUT when I have Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox, I then cannot open other PDF links on any other site. Instead I get the dreaded SAVE AS diaglogue box so I have to download the PDF file and then open it.
If I try to switch PDFs to Use Adobe Acrobat (rather than Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox) then I cannot open my XEA based Adobe forms. So I have to keep PDFs to Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox for my XEA web-based forms, but that prevents me from opening any other PDFs online (since I have to save the other PDFs rather than opening them).
How do I solve this problem so I can open other PDFs online (without saving) and yet still be able to use my XEA based Adobe Forms by Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox?
Thanks,
Steve

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
"Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
Can someone help!?!?!
Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

Thank you

Did you actually try doing what the message suggests? Open Adobe Reader and accept the EULA?

Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview? Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

Problems opening pdf-files from KM of portal

Hi,
we store documents in our portal in KM. When I use pdf-files that where not saved with Office2007 tools I get the problem, that I can open the file once. If I open it the second time I get the error message "file doesn't start with "%PDF-". and the file will not be opend. If I delete the temporary files in the internet explorer, the file can be opended, again.
If I open the file directly in the internet explorer I don't have those problems, so it seems, that the portal uses a different viewer than the internet explorer itself.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Regards
Ulrike

Ulrike,
I think this is a known issue.
Affected versions:
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 14
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 15
If you have the above KMC and SP Versions then you need to follow the below SAP note:
Note 1146711 - Problem opening PDF files.
Have you checked the belowSAP Note?
Note 954627 - Issues with opening/displaying PDF files from KM

Preview will no longer open PDFs in Safari

Hello Everyone,
Lately, when I open links PDFs, they will not open in Safari (only a blank page). I have to control click the link to download the file, but I want it to go back to normal by opening within my Safari browser.
I used to have Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 on my computer, but have since uninstalled it because of its slow response in opening files. I also had Acrobat Writer 5 on my machine at one point and was fairly happy with its performance when I needed it, but in an effort to fix my problem with PDFs not opening in Safari, I uninstalled it too.
In the beginning, I was very careful to not allow Acrobat not be default, but I think one of my co-workers used my machine and said yes to Acorbat's annoying message to make it default. Since then I am stuck with this issue. In any case, I used AppZapper to remove both Reader 7 and Writer 5 thinking my computer would be forced back into using Preview.
After that did not work, I tried deleting the preferences in my User library, but that has not worked either. I also tried a tip in Terminal to make the file at least download like they used to do pre-Tiger... No use either.
Does anyone know how I can reset my preferences for PDF links online to open in my Safari browser? I have already set Preview to be default on already downloaded files.
Also, I coped with the Ctrl-Click way for some time, but now i have a pdf link in an email and the file will not download that way. Hence I want it to work the way it did out of the box.
Please help.

You wrote: "No, by my I meant my Home > Library > Internet Plug-Ins folder. I double-checked and it is empty."Well, that's not the correct folder. Again, the Adobe plug-in would be in the Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins folder.
2. You wrote: "Ok, assuming I did uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader incorrectly, how can I go about fixing that? Do I reinstall it and reuninstall?"You can try the instructions in the Adobe KB document "Manually remove Acrobat (6.x and 7.x on Mac OS X)", which states it also addresses Adobe Reader. Unfortunately, they appear incomplete since they also omit the plug-in I discussed. Also, the steps for using Find under the heading "On Mac OS X v10.4.x" are flawed because step "g" does not work due to a design feature/bug of Spotlight, in which Find is implemented under Tiger. Essentially, the issue is that the Visible/Invisible search criterion does not work.
At the worst, if the problem remains thereafter, you may have to reinstall Mac OS X via Archive and Install.
Good luck!

How to open PDFs in Safari 8.0

Been frustrated for a couple days now. Up until mid last week, I've been able to open PDFs inside the safari browser no problem. I think this ended up changing in the latest Yosemite update. Opening PDFs inside the safari window, not in a different tab is particularly crucial for my job, I use an agent webportal that requires PDFs to be filled out inside the browser window and submitted as such.
I've had this happen a few times, usually it was fixed by deleting the adobe plugins in the internet plugins folder and/or simply resetting the safari browser back to default. What I've tried so far:
uninstalling/reinstalling both reader and acrobat multiple times.
deleting the plugins from the internet folder multiple times.
tried switching up the default pdf view app, no change.
tried as best as i could find to reset the settings on safari, but inside yosemite there appears to not be a reset option to bring it back to default.
Honestly I'm at my wits end here with this thing. I've been using VMWare and windows 7 to complete the stuff I can't do in safari on IE.
Is there something I haven't tried and/or does anyone know how to fully reset safari back to default in yosemite?
specs - MBA 2011, Running 10.10.1. Using newest version of reader and acrobat 10.

You don't without using custom css sheets. The web site developers specify the fonts to be used.

Opening pdf in Safari

This is a mac/pdf problem. Safari shoul be able to open a pdf on its own. I have Acrobat X Pro on my mac. Under preferences, internet, the little box that is for "display PDF in browser" is checked, but grayed out. I cannot access that box. Everything I read on other forums, by mac users who are experiencing the same problem, which is that Safari displays a black page when I try to click in a link to a PDF, all the advice is that that box should not be checked, and in the library/ internet plug-ins, there should be no plug-ins for Adobe. My library has no such plug-in, but HOW can I access a grayed out box to get the check out of it?
Thanks
Brian

So my problem was, how to get rid of that grayed out check.
I went to an Adobe forum, where others (many) were experiencing the same problem. To get rid of the check in that box I did the following.
Opened Finder, clicked on Go
Selected my computer, Mac HD
Went to the library folder listed there
And the to the sub-folder, called Internet plug-ins, and opened it.
The first file I saw there was AdobePDFViewer.plugin
I deleted that file.
Then I went back to Adobe Acrobat/ preferences/internet, and the check in the box was GONE!
Just to be sure, I rebooted the computer.
This time it worked. I could open a pdf document in Safari, like I used to be able to do.
I realize now that this change most likely occurred when I installed Acrobat Pro X. It was just a few weeks ago that I installed it. I downloaded the program from the Adobe website, no CD. And I am sure that was when the problems started. So it must have been a default setting, as I cannot remember choosing that. Or, maybe I did, not knowing that it would not work in Safari. I cannot remember.
If anyone installs either Acrobat or the free Reader, they should be sure that the plug-in is not installed by default. At least not on a mac.
