Reader 9.0 won't open on internet

When I open a Reader document on the internet the file appears and then I get a pop-up that says that I must purchase Reader 8.0 Pro to view the file. When I visit the same website from one of my other computers it works fine. Any suggesting on what I am missing.

I had the exact same problem and I noticed that the same thing started happening with other programs along with adobe reader. What i discovered was that at least in my case, the issue was that Adobe Reader uses the temp folder on your computer. Mine happened to grow to about 35 gigs and because of that whenever a program tried to write anything to the temp folder, it would hang forever. Once i cleared my temp folder everything started working properly again for all programs including adobe reader.
the way i did this was from
My Computer -> Right click properties -> Click Disk Cleanup.
It will scan for all places that it will need to do disk cleanup on. Mine took a good 20 minutes because of the temp folder. Afterwards, look through the list of items that it scanned and make sure you select the temp folder option. Along with this you can probably clear out any other folders that are taking up a lot of memory. Clear these folders and try running Adobe Reader again. The process of clearing may take a very long time if your temp folder happens to be really large. But it was well worth it for me because everything started running quickly again. Anyways hope this helps for you as well.

  • My adobe reader - version 11 won't open a PDF

    My adobe reader - version 11 won't open a PDF - I have uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled it - same problem.

    Does the same thing still happen if you update to 11.0.4?

  • Had to reinstall Software and Safari window won't open for internet

    I am running 10.3.9 and screwed up my computer royally yesterday by apparently deleting important files. I reinstalled the software but the only browser that will connect to the internet or even bring up a window is firefox. My Safari will open but now browser window will show up. Netscape won't either. Internet Explorer will open but not connect.
    I cannot upgrade any higher because it's an old G4 with only about 20GB of original space with only about 2.7GB left available.

    Hello,
    I am running 10.3.9 and screwed up my computer royally yesterday by apparently deleting important files. I reinstalled the software...
    Can you recall what software it was that you deleted and reinstalled?
    One quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)

  • Web photo gallery won't open on internet... why?

    I hope someone can help me with this.
    I always made slideshows with Photoshop until I got Elements. The newest version of Photoshop does not have that option anymore.
    I made a web photo gallery with elements, put it up in Dreamweaver, made a link, tested it on three browsers and it all worked perfectly.
    I then uploaded it all to a server.
    When I go to the page on internet, the link takes me to the index of the photo gallery but the slideshow does not open. It seems like the index file does not open the resource folder.
    I have compared the site on my computer with the site on the server and everything is exactly the same. The photo gallery is on th server with the index file and resource folder.
    I can't understand why the photo gallery doesn't behave on internet like it does on my computer.
    Can anyone explain this to me?
    I really like the way the new photo gallery looks compared with the slideshow made with my older version of Photoshop and would like to use it. Plus the fact that I can control the speed of the slideshow on Elements is a real boon.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I will try to be as explicate as possible.
    This is a site that I maintain for a marathon. This is the 10th year. The participants contribute a series of photos that I have always made into slide shows.
    I have a page that references slideshows from 2009 for example. I made these photos into slideshows using Photoshop CS3. The different folders are called "Slideshow xxx"  with the corresponding index file. When I link to the index file in a certain folder the slideshow opens in a blank page and wonderful.
    Now, this year, I have done the same thing using Element with the results I mention in my origiinal message: the photo gallery does not open in any browser  in spite of being linked to the index file in the web photo gallery I created with Element.
    What happens when I go to the index file is simply nothing. I do not get an error message.
    You can see for yourself by going to
    http://www.el-ocejon.com/fotos%202010.html
    and clicking on either of the two last options (the first links to a picasa page that is not a problem).
    The solution is simple: create a slideshow using Photoshop CS3 and forget the whole thing.  But I would like to know what the problem is here and why I cannot get the photo gallery created with Elements to work on the internet.
    Or is this a "two steps forward and one step back" issue with Photoshop?

  • Won't open without internet

    I am a registered owner of Photoshop CS6—the full free-standing version. I was recently traveling in Europe and was restricted to a satellite internet connection. Although fully installed on my computer, I was unable to open Photoshop. The reason given was that I “needed an internet connection.” Because of this, I was unable to use Photoshop during my trip.
    I don’t understand why a program that is fully-loaded and licensed on my machine would need to get an “OK” from Adobe to open when I need it. I understand if I had the cloud version, but I don’t.
    How do I avoid this problem in the future?

    CS6 need to be activated to work.  Once activated it does not need an internet connection however activation need an internet connection or a special offline activation.

  • .swf won't open in internet explorer

    Hi,
    This is driving me mental, flash seems to hate me! created a webpage in dreamweaver and then dropped .swf videos onto it.

Also it won't preview on my computer anymore! Please help.

    If you're having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player, try downloading the installer directly from the following link:

    Save it, close your browser and run it.

  • Adobe Reader 9.2 Won't Open

    After updating to 9.2, I am unable to open Adobe Reader. When I either click on a pdf file or the AR icon, the hour glass will appear for maybe 2 seconds and then...nothing. I uninstalled AR and downloaded 9.2 twice with the same result. I disabled Norton Internet Security to no effect. I am now back to using AR 8.1.4 which works perfectly.

    I had Adobe Reader 9.0 installed and working perfectly, I upgraded to version 9.2 and it will not open.
    I've tried 4 times now:
    1  By updating from within the aplication itself
    2  By downloading version 9.2 and letting it uninstall the old version itself before it installs the new one
    3  By uninstalling the old version from add/remove programs before installing version 9.2
    4  By using Revo Uninstaller to remove the program and all the remaining files, folders and registry entries before installing version 9.2
    The outcome is always the same, it just does not open. I have gone back to version 9.0 which works fine.
    Event viewer says: The server {string of letters and numbers} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
    I've also followed Microsoft's instructions for creating a registry key to specifically deal with this kind of problem but it still does not work.

  • Reader 9.4 won't open on Windows 7 64-bit

    Have a strange issue with installing Reader 9.4 on a new Windows 7 64-bit setup. Program installs without any issue at all, but when opening it from the start menu or opening a PDF document, the cursor is busy for a few seconds and then returns to normal without ever opening Reader. There's nothing in the task manager that indicates it's trying to run. I've tried to right-click it and run as administrator, but it that doesn't even show as an option. I've also tried making the user a member of the local admin group, giving him full permission to the entire C:, and turning off UAC. Uninstalling and reinstalling as administrator or user with elevated priveleges didn't make any difference either. Anyone have any idea what I might be overlooking here? TIA

  • Adobe Reader 11 (XI) won't open file via command line

    Hello,
    I have posted this question to probably inapropriate topic earlier today, so I am repeating it again.
    I installed newest Adobe Reader XI today and when I tried to open certain pdf file via command line, it reported a syntax error. Now, this syntax worked so far on versions 9 and 10  (I checked today with them and it is working), so my question is - where can I find new syntax, if there is any? Googling didn't help. Or what else could wrong?
    In previous versions I was able to open pdf file (on page 5) like this (all was taken from Help file "Open parameters")
    "CompletePathToAdobeReader"/A"page=5""CompletePathToPDF",
    ie
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/A"page=5""d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
    but now - not that it doesn't open specific page, but it doesn't want to open file at all.
    edit:
    Operating systems running: Windows 7, Windows XP
    Thank you.
    Message was edited by: v604

    Yes, it reported correctly becuase there is a syntax error in your command. Try spaces between the /A switch and open parameter. Try this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=5" "d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe reader 9.3 won't open pdf's

    Using XP Pro SP3
    This just started a few days ago, but everytime I try to open a .pdf or adobe reader itself, I get the following message:
    "Adobe Reader 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    If I were to log off the user account and log in as admintrator adobe opens just fine.  All users have the read and execute permission.  The computer this is installed on is for the print center of my school, so we can't leave it open in administrator the whole time.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled reader, but this has not helped.  Are there any ideas to address this?

    I am having the exact same problem. I have a Toshiba computer, Windows XP Professional 2002, service pack 3.
    Everything about Adobe used to work - and after an update, nothing worked anymore, except: I can open a PDF through a window, but if it's attached to an email, or if the PDF is on the desktop, I get the exact same error message.
    I've tried:
    1. Un-installing and re-installing
    2. Going into Control Panel and "fixing" the program in change/remove programs.
    If I double click, or try to load Adobe Reader, I get the same message. I find this very frustrating!
    Any further information would be much appreciated

  • Adobe Reader 9.0 Won't Open

    Running windows vista home premium 64 bit  I was attemping to open a pdf file from a web page that I created approx 1 month ago.  I didn't see that and update had been completed, however I was running reader 9.0.  I for what ever reason was not able to open any pdf file's off the web site like that I did before.  I spent hours looking for the answer.  Using microsofts windows cleaner, updating the registery, uninstalling all the adobe products except for my CS4 design products.  Still was unable to use reader 9.0.  After reading some of the forums I just downloaded reader 8.1.3 and it works fine.  I had tried using reader 8.0 on avant microsoft web browsers and neither of them worked.  8.1.3 works fine.  Just uninstall everything and download 8.1.3 until adobe can fix the issue.  I had also called tech support and they referred me to the site after being on hold for 45 minutes, I could barely understand the guy... Hope this helps this is were I downloaded 8.1.3.

  • Adobe Reader 9.1 Won't Open Some Files

  • Adobe reader 9.3 won't open pdfs on 10.6 snow leopard

    I just got a new mini with snow leopard. Every time I try to open a pdf, it gives me the message that adobe reader is not supported on this type of mac. Now what?
    I can open a pdf by dragging it to preview and opening it there, but you shouldn't need the extra step.
    Thanks,
    Joan

    Adobe Reader 9.3 is the most recent version and it is supported by your machine and its OS.
    Highlight a PDF file and press command-I. Look for 'Open with:' in the Info window for the selected document and choose Adobe Reader from the list. If Adobe Reader doesn't appear in the list, scroll down to 'Other...' at the bottom of the list and select it. If you like, choose to open all documents of this type with Adobe Reader.

  • For the l;ast several day firefox 6.02 won't open. It just hangs. I uninstaled it and reinstalled and it still won't open. Internet explore and chrome work fine. What is going on?

    Also There is no way I can check the settings or get to safe mode as it just hangs. Several other people have been having the same problem with it.
