Reader won't launch for internet PDF

I have an old version of Acrobat (6) and the latest Reader 9.1.  When I need to launch a PDF from the internet, it launches the Acrobat, which won't work since it is not the latest version.  I do not want to delete the Acrobat since I use it for other reasons. 
This problem just started when I had to reload the Acrobat.   I changed all the settings in the "folder options/file types" to open with the reader, but this didn't correct the problem.
Is there a setting to open all internet PDF's with the reader?

Adobe doesn't support Reader and Acrobat on the same Windows computer. Too many problems. Open Reader on boot and don't launch Acrobat, then IE should use Reader for viewing pdfs.

  • IPhoto won't launch for a user

    iPhoto (9.4.3) won't launch for one of the users on our iMac running OS X Lion 10.7.5
    We have two user accounts both with Admin previleges. For one of the accounts, iPhoto works fine. For the other account, it just won't launch iphoto and we don't get any error message when launching it from the dock. However, when launching iPhoto from a terminal window (/Applications/iPhoto.app/Content/MacOS/iphoto) the error is:
    illegal instruction: 4.
    I've trashed the iphoto preference file...no joy. I've also tried launching iPhoto while holding down the option key...also no joy.
    Any suggestions?

    I have removed everything from my user library and reinstalled InDesign. Now InDesign begins to launch, but then crashes when it gets to the 'Starting up Service Registry' line on the application screen. Any thoughts? My call to apple has yielded a 'we've done everything we can do' response.

  • 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)

  • Reader won't open when opening PDF file from third application

    I need help. Adobe Reader (11.0.06, running on a fully updated 64bits Windows 8.1) only opens "raw", not when supposed to open itself to open a PDF file. In other words, when I click Adobe Reader's shortcut, it opens, but when I double-click a PDF file it does not, unless it was already open that way.
    When that happens (i.e., when I open a PDF file and Adobe Reader doesn't start), I check on Process Explorer what is going on. What I see is a parent process ran from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "C:\Documents\file.pdf" and a subordinate process ran from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" --channel=172.1.761882444 --type=renderer  "C:\Documents\file.pdf", eventhough no window exists, of course. When this is happening, even to open Reader through it's shortcut I have to kill both processes first.
    I have already repaired the installation and nothing changed. Then I uninstalled it, rebooted and reinstalled fresh, and nothing changed either. I don't know what else to try. Can anyone help?
    (Is there any info I can provide, some log or debug, etc.?)

    Could someone download the pdf file and try it on Reader 9 and then on Reader X to see if they get the same results?

  • Have Acrobat 5.0 AND Reader 8.1 installed.  Internet PDF files won't open. Uses 5.0 ?!

    How can I make sure that whenever I try to open a PDF file on the Internet the default application is Reader 8.1? The Acrobat 5.0 is old (I know), but I use it to create PDFs, but I want it to ignore the old 5.0 reader and use the new 8.1 reader. Any ideas?

    Graffiti, thank you for responding. I reinstalled 8.1 and then opened it BEFORE trying to open a PDF file and now it works. Thanks so much for your advice. REALLY appreciate it! Best - SpringTulips

  • Any idea why Preview won't work for opening PDF files with this OS?

    For some reason, after the last update to Mavericks 10.9.3, any time I attempt to open a PDF using Preview, the file will not open.  No response from the system.  Any recommended solutions?  Thanks in advance!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • Adobe Reader Mobile Android Update for DRM pdfs?

    I have had a variety of Samsung Galaxy tablets since 2011, and since then I have been waiting...and waiting...AND WAITING for a solution to this ebook pdf issue. Is there (or will there ever be) an update coming soon which will allow tablets and mobile devices to unlock DRM secured ebooks with our assigned log-in credentials? What is the point of an ebook, if the only place you can use it is on a desktop/laptop computer? It sure would be nice if I was able to use a textbook I paid for on a tablet that I also paid for. Please do not give me the "not at this time" speech. Why isn't there a security update to support this feature?

    We are aware of this ask and it exists in our product backlog, but unfortunately is not planned for the immediate future. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

  • Adobe Reader won't DL - need a pdf reader [Lumia 7...

    So I have a slight problem with Lumia 710. After I figured out how to get a .pdf file onto my device (did so via Skydrive) - it suggested that I DL a pdf reader and directed me to Adobe Reader. 
    However, once I get to that page, I get: 
    "App not available
    This might be because your phone software needs to be updated,
    the app is exclusive to a different mobile provider,
    or the app is not available in your region."
    Right off the bat we can rule out "the app is exclusive to a different mobile provider". I have a friend with the same provider, with the same phone, who downloaded it with no problem. 
    "The app is not available in your region" - my friend, the one with Adobe reader, has had his on either Icelandic or U.S., in the region settings. I tried both, no luck.
    "The phone software needs to be updated" - I don't know about this, I think I recall it saying "no updates available" earlier today on Zune, but I might be mistaken. 
    Any advice?

    Was thinking of removing my windows live account and re-adding it, to see if that is what needed to be done for the phone to look at my updated location (the US). However, I found out that in order to change my primary windows live account (even if it's to the same account) I would need to perform a hard reset, which is something I'm a little unhappy about - seeing as I don't even have a guarantee for that working.
    I'm going to take a bit of a break from this, but do you think this would be worth a try? 

  • Adobe Reader won't launch email

    Why won't my Adobe Reader x
    launch my email?

    Other you can try try...
    Try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the registry script from https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=8yDBdUZCTE9FUcJJjZzHvQ
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Reader won't launch in 64-bit linux

    Reader (currently 9.3.3) tries to launch but fails with the error message : " acroread: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_malloc_n". OS is Kubuntu 10.04 x86-64 with 32-bit libs installed.

    How is doing "make -l glib" supposed to help? Since there's no context (source or makefile) to run it with, it just invokes the response "make: ***No rule to make target 'glib'. Stop"

  • InDesign won't launch for main user account

    I upgraded to a new Mac Pro and copied over my old user and computer, all except the Applications folder. I reinstalled InDesign and it worked once, then crashed. It would not open after that, and I have since reinstalled. Still will not open. It bounces a few times and stops. I've created another ADMIN test account, and InDesign launches fine. Now my question is how to get it to launch in my main user account. Do the permissions need to be fixed, and if so, how?

    I have removed everything from my user library and reinstalled InDesign. Now InDesign begins to launch, but then crashes when it gets to the 'Starting up Service Registry' line on the application screen. Any thoughts? My call to apple has yielded a 'we've done everything we can do' response.

  • Making Adobe Reader my default application for viewing PDF files.

    Hello,
    Can someone help me on this issue. I am trying to put adobe reader as the default pdf application instead of preview. I have tried everything...however when i download a pdf document it only provides me the choice to open with preview.
    Thanks,

    Control/click (or right click if you're using a two button mouse) on whatever file you're wanting to change the association to. In the menu that comes up select "Get Info" and another box will open. Down towards the bottom you should see Open with: and a drop down that has suggested apps. If it's in the list select it (if not navigate to it) and then once that file is associated with whatever app. right below you'll see Change All... and select it and now all those file types will open with whatever app you've selected.

  • "Edit in" Ps '14 won't launch for one Lr Catalog; the rest work fine

    I've had multiple bugs and issues since the Ps CC 2014 "update." I've already uninstalled and reinstalled several times to try and fix other issues among other solutions. The last update helped but one issue I continue to have is a recent catalog I created will not open photo's in CC '14. I also already uninstalled and reinstalled 5.5. I had hoped the 5.6 update would fix it, but no go. I also tried the "hotfix" of downloading the scripts .zip file and doing it manually, but still nothing. My external editor is set to CC '14 as the default.
    Can anyone clue me in on something I may be missing or haven't tried?

    I already checked the external editor options as mentioned. What other settings and menus should I look at? I've tried to go through and nothing it standing out to me as the obvious issue. I created the catalog just like I created all my other catalogs as well, no special settings.

  • Reader won't launch. "EMM File Error in Module tbhookin.dll at 0001FA77" message

    Then..."Error Creating Memory Mapped File 5."
    Just snags with an open, blank window that Task Manager cannot close.
    Reader 11.0.03

    Thanks!

    I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the program 3 times. I have tried to have the installer "fix" the program through the "change" function in the Add/Remove programs area of the control panel. I have tried to update the graphics drivers like an earlier person with a similar problem had done with some success. Still no results. I never had any issues prior to upgrading to Reader XI.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Install program won't launch for installing

    I finally downloaded the itunes upgrade from CNET but now I click on it to install and nothing happens. Can anyone help?

    Hi All,
    I am having problems with getting Apps from the iTunes Store.
    I e-mailed Apple and they advised me to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime and download the new version even though I had already done so.
    However the link I have been given to the iTunes Download page has no button to Download Now, it is blank beneath the "Download iTunes Now" title.
    I have tried the Apple UK site but same page comes up, went in downloads section , again takes me to the page with no Download button.
    Can anyone shed any light on this, very frustrating, as now have no access to iTunes !!
    I have also e-mailed Apple supoort also.
    Regards
