Reader will not load pdf files

my adobe reader will not load pdf files. I tried un-installing and re-downloading the reader. same thing it won't work. It works on my other computer

The operating system is Windows 7. I get error message "there is no email program to perform the requested action". I get same error for local C: drive, jump drive, online firefox or microsoft browser. same problem.
I fixed the problem by un-installing adobe xi and re-downloading adobe x. Its working great. adobe xi may work OK on windows 8. I have a laptop with Windows 8. I will be trying that tomorrow. I will send you a message.

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

  • Adobe Reader will not open .pdf file.

    I have Adobe Reader Acrobat 8 Professional. 
    I am attempting to open a .pdf file - it opens, but then gives me an error message and closes Adobe. 
    Error Code 148:3  You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the probgram by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product. 
    I've done this, but receive the same error message.  Any ideas what's going on?

    Try using the Acrobat/Reader Cleaner Tool to remove the old version of Adobe Reader 8:  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then update your version of Adobe Reader:  http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    By the way if you have both installed remove Reader and run the repair of Acrobat.

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

  • Safari 5.1.7 will not open pdf files

    I have Safari 5.1.7 and it will not open pdf files.
    I have checked the internet plug in folder and there is no Adobe Acrobat Reader in it.
    I have Adobe Acrobat reader in my Application folder.

  • Safari will not display pdf files since installing OS 10.8.2

    Safari will not display pdf files uner Lion 10.8.2

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • IP8720 will not print PDF files

    My iP8720 will not print PDF files. It doesn't matter whether the file was created in Acrobat 8 Pro, Word, WordPerfect. It doesn't matter if the PDF contains images or just text. It does print files from Word and WordPerfect, as well as Photoshop, etc. PDFs seem to be the only problem. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate. Any help woud be appreciated.
    Solved!

    Hi clarowl,
    Do you receive an error when trying to print the PDF files, or does the printer give no error and just not even attempt to print?

  • My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint.

    My Office Print Pro 8600 Plus will not print pdf files sent to it from an iPad using ePrint.  I just get an error message when I go to the  HP Eprint centre.  It does print the cover e-mail but nothing else.  The attachment is not secure as far as I can see.  I have tried sending an attachment from my Mac and that worked fine.
    This question was solved.

    Hello krnkln3.
    Are you trying to send the PDF as an attachment in an e-mail sent to the ePrint e-mail address of the printer or are you trying to print using the ePrint app?
    Try sending the same PDF document to the printer's ePrint e-mail address and let us know if that works. If this works but using the ePrint app is not working, maybe the ePrint app is not working fine with this PDF document (it could be due to it's size or something else). Remember that you can always use the e-mail ePrint address of the printer to send PDF documents as the processing is happening at the HP servers and not in your iPad as when you try to send it using the ePrint app.
    Cheers!

  • Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

    I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade.  The fix is simple so read on.  After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped.  I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was.  For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
    Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader.  My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers.  I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers.  You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer.  That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed.  I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well.  The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense.  I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers.  That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
    ****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser.  If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open.  You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer.  The windows update prevents you from doing it.  At least that is my understanding. 
    The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser.  The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista.  A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista.  I hope this helps some avoid some headaches.  I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose. 
    I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

    Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader.  With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
    My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system.  For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version. 
    If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top.  However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web.  Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser.  At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.
    Thanks

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!
    Hans-Günter

    The only Iceberg app I can find in the app store is a social networking app, not an e-reader. I don't see how you could buy books for it.
    UPDATE: I see that it isn't available in the US app store. To contact the developer find it in your App Store and there will be a link to the developer's support site.

    Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3.  They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4
