Reader XI auto closes after 4 seconds. Won't view PDFs.

I had Reader X but was having problems with using the sign function. I went to check for an update and downloaded XI. When I tried using it, it opened a window for about 5 seconds (promising) and then automatically closed. When I tried uninstalling, a window said that the administrator had blocked the program from being removed.
I tried a System Restore on my computer, attempting to fix X, but that didn't work. When I try downloading anything less than XI, it says I have a more updated function version on my computer. It says the same thing when I try reinstalling XI or fixing XI. It still auto crashed after 4-5 seconds.

Reader is actually covered in a separate forum (this is the Acrobat forum). Some of the issues are similar. Typically you need to be logged in as the administrator (at least with admin priv.) and have anti-virus disabled for the install. To try to go back, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, delete the Acrobat or Reader (in your case) folder, and reboot. Hopefully the install will go smoothly after the reboot. Again, be sure to be logged in as an administrator and have anti-virus disabled. Fixes can be done from the control panel>Programs & Preferences.

  • Reader 11.0.0.3 auto closes after an install

    I downloaded Reader 11.0.0.3
    When I open it prompts me to accept the license
    The license window stays up bu the application closes within a second.
    Opening any pdf file post that point allows the application to open... then auto closes after 1 sec
    I have installed with Chrome, without Chrome
    I have rebooted between installs
    Google search led me to Eula.exe - which is the accept license
    That has no affect
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit on a Lenovo laptop

    Two more things things to try...
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.03; Docs open and then close after 2 seconds

    I'm running Win 8, 64 Bit.  When I try to open pdf doc in Adobe Reader XI 11.0.03, IE10, it closes after 2 seconds.  I have uninstalled several times and reinstalled but no fix.  Any solutions? 

    Hi, same problem here and every commented solution didnt help me.
    8.1 64bit , AR 10.0 or AR 11.x
    - I used AR cleaner, didnt help
    - I used CCleaner, didnt help
    - I tried set bprotectingmode dword 0 in registry, didnt help
    1. Does this happen only in IE or also with other browser (FF, Chrome)?
    This help with no browser, just empty adobe reader start.
    2. Does this happen on stand alone Reader (instead of in the browser)?
    both
    4. If this happens also in the stand alone Reader, does launching Reader without opening a PDF file have same problem?
    yes, still problem.
    The only one possible solution seems to be install another pdf viewer :-(

  • Adobe Reader no longer Auto-Closes after printing

    My company uses software that allows for users to reprint invoices they have previously made.  The way the procedure is supposed to work is: the driver clicks a re-print button, Adobe Reader opens up with the document, prints it, then closes.  Within the past couple of weeks however, everything is fine however Adobe Reader will not close out.  The PDF document itself closes, but the user is then brought to the main menu where they can open up another PDF.  The problem this is causing is that they cannot reprint other invoices until manually closing out of Adobe reader every time.  There have not been any updates made to the software they are using, or to Adobe Reader.  We have users on both Windows XP and 7, and have the issue with both Reader v10 and 11.
    Any suggestions on how I might be able to get Adobe Reader to auto-close again?  I am also checking with the software vendor for their insight.

    Might be difficult to fix.
    You don't know what changes to your system/registry have been made by the virus infection you told of.
    Maybe this article has some useful hints for you.

  • Swing popup to close after X seconds

    How to show an another window (a popup or something) in main swing window which will close after about 10 seconds?

    Use a timer that is initalized in the constructor of the window you want to close after x seconds..
    myWindow = new myWindowClass("This is a display message", 10);
    once the timer expires you can just have the window close.

  • Why Photoshop CC will close after 10 seconds after opening?

    Why Photoshop CC will close after 10 seconds after opening?

    I seem to have the same problem, but following the link given above has only been partially successful.
    It tells me to find a log file, and then to look up the error messages in a Knowledge Base. I've found the error messages, but the link to the Knowledge Base doesn't seem to lead anywhere very helpful.
    The 'ERROR' from my most recent attempt to launch Ps reads:
    "08/17/14 21:13:53:333 | [ERROR] |  |  |  | RoyaltyTableParser |  |  | 1028 | Signature successfully validated for royalty table"
    which on the face of it doesn't look much like an error. But I can't find this Knowledge Base to look it up. Most of the other lines in the log file are labelled as '[INFO]', though some say '[DEBUG]'.
    I'm running Win7 (64).

  • Auto-Save &Auto-Close after inactivity

    I'm new to JavaScript, so please be patient. I am using Acrobat XI
    I have a document that I am trying to have auto-save and auto-close after 10 minutes of inactivity. I've found where I would enter the JavaScript under the document actions, and I see the "Will Save" and "Will Close" functions, but I guess I don't understand what JavaScript I need to put in these fields to get them to do what I want.
    I can get the document to run JavaScript that will close the document after being open for 10 minutes, but I need it to save and close after 10 minutes of inactivity. Is this possible, and if so how do I go about this?
    Thanks SO MUCH in advance.

    The "Will Save" and "Will Close" events are only triggered after an action to save the PDF or close the PDF has started.

    After of it, I checked that the app had a new version available for downloading, I took a backup of my ipad and then upgrade this app, but is the same problem, all I want is to save the projects I had in this app, I´m afraid that if I delete this app and re-install it, probably I loss my projects.
    Thanks for your help indicating how I can save my projects and see them for example in an iphone for assurance that data is not lost.
    Something that called my attention is part of the log that shows a big CPU processing, but the strange thing is I killed all applications.

  • I-photo has been working brilliantly until after my last update. Now it automatically closes after 10 seconds. The warning box appears but offers no solution. I have reloaded the software, but this has made no difference. Has anyone else experienced this

    I am having problems with i-photo. It automatically closes after 10 seconds. the warning box gives no guidance. Anyone else had this problem?

    What "warning box"?
    Assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

    I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
    I have trying to download some manuals from their website
    and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

    Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
    In your Adobe application(s), go to:
    Edit > Preferences > Internet
    Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
    (There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)
