Problems with Adobe Acrobat - last resort!

I've tried at the Adobe Macintosh forum, but haven't had any advice that's helped, so thought I'd try here!...
I have Adobe CS3 Design Standard Suite, Educational version, running on OS X 10.5.5 on my MacBook Pro.
1 - I cannot update Acrobat from 8.0.0...I get an error that 'the patch has failed because the application has been modified since it was originally installed'. Actually it hasn't, and the repair installation or a full re-installation (3 times so far) make no difference.
2 - the Adobe PDF printer vanished from system prefs...I ran repair installation to replace it, but I cannot now print using the printer. Every document pauses the printer, then when I resume printing I get an error 'operation could not be completed, client-error-not-possible'
This is what I have tried...NONE of the below items has worked...
1 - in Acrobat Help>Repair installation
2 - re-install Acrobat
3 - uninstall and re-install the entire CS3 suite (using the Adobe uninstall utility)...have tried 3 times so far
4 - run CS3 Clean Script after the uninstall to delete all the remaining files - after using this, when I tried to re-install the suite, the installer program thought Acrobat was already installed (even though I had just removed it!), so I couldn't select it! I had to install the rest of the suite, then run the installer again, at which time I could select Acrobat and install that?
5 - uninstall, check/repair permissions, run CS3 clean script and re-install - all when logged as root user - everything installed OK, but when I tried to run the updater, I got an error that only users with admin privileges could run updater...and that was when logged in as root
Any ideas, anyone...please?
Thanks, Nige

Problem solved.
This code works in new project:
Me.AxAcroPDF1.LoadFile(Path)
Me.AxAcroPDF1.setShowToolbar(False)
But not in the old project.
By adding this code in the old project it works.
Me.AxAcroPDF1.LoadFile(Path)
Me.AxAcroPDF1.src = Path
Me.AxAcroPDF1.setShowToolbar(False)
Me.AxAcroPDF1.setView("FitH")
Me.AxAcroPDF1.setLayoutMode("SinglePage")
Me.AxAcroPDF1.Show()
Wonder why....

How do you fix error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. (6:6)

How does one fix error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

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.

Problem with adobe acrobat/reader

Hello,
I am having problems with adobe. I am trying to open an old bamk statment but I keep getting "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. If it is running please exit and start again (103:103)
Or it will say "Adobe reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I am using windows xp IE8
In my add/remove programs there is "adobe reader 9.5.3" and below that there is "adobe reader XI (11.0.03)
I tried to repair or patch then restarted my computer but the same problem. I tried to remove them but they won't remove.
PLEASE someone help me.
Thank You in advance
GOD Bless

Yep it works. I think the reason I had the reader 11.0.03 was a few months ago I asked me to click for an upgrade. The one that I had was the one you gave me last year. I don't know how/why it didn't delete the older one, or maybe it was an offer from some other site. I just saw the word upgrade and figured it was suppose to. Funny thing is, The files I was having trouble to see last night, I was able to see them 2 days earlier and it didn't prevent me firm seeing them then, and I hadn't messed with the adobe for a few months. GO FIGURE!!
While your here, do you happen to know of an excellent system tool cleaner I could get from amazon?? I got a desktop from Listia hew/used and before I get my stuff transferred from this one to my new one I want to get something that runs in the background to keep it running smooth, and this laptop I'm using is about 10 years old and getting sluggish. I've tried one or two that I bought online that offer free download then charge to fix it. So I once or twice bought the download clicked the fix, and it shows EVERYTHING is fixed. Then run another scan and there would be more things need fixing so would click fix again, run a third scan and still have more to fix. So I would have to call the place I bought it from to get my money back.
I look on amazon and read peoples reviews but just can't decode which one to get. The ones that sound great are old versions. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, just something that get old stuff off. There are so many programs on the add/remove but I don't want to take the chance to remove something only to find out I shouldn't have. Do you know what I mean?? All of them on web sites and like on tv claim to be good but are really junk.
I do surveys online to make extra money fixedincome due to sever RA in my back and focus groups online, to things get thick I don't want my computer to get bougged down
So if you happen to have any suggestions please tell me. If your allowed to. Thanks again

"there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)

We are getting the following error "there is a problem with adobe acrobat/reader. if it is running please exit and try again. (523.523)" and a gray screen appears (Image not viewable) with multiple users. We are using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05) and (11.0.06). The current workaround is to log off the website and log back in. Once the user logs back in, the pdf will appear. However it occurs anywhere from 2-8 times in a day. Anyone else having this issue or know of another workaround? Any suggestion with how to fix? Please help!!

Hi Valerie,
Please let me know the version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader & operating system installed on your computer?
Also, try this:-
Launch Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
From the menu, choose Edit -> preferences -> General
Uncheck the option for "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
Restart the Adobe Reader and web browser.

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

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?

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,

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.

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
