Reader XI - Cannot open PDFs from Outlook:  Internal error occured.  Access is denied.

I have a user that when they try to open a PDF from Outlook they get two errors. An internal error occured, and Access is denied.  I HAVE tried everyone's solution of unchecking 'Enabled Protected Mode' in Adobe > Edit > Preferences...but, this has NOT worked. The user is currently running Windows XP and has Outlook 2010.  The attachments DO open if you save them to computer first, or if Adobe Reader is already open.  Please help.  Thank you.

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?

  • Can't open PDFs from Outlook Access denied

    We are trying to open PDFs from Outlook in Reader XI.  Even after disabling protected mode, continue to receive the message "There was an error opening this document.  Access denied.".  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    A. Fix One PC
    Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader X
    Go to: Edit > Preferences...
    Click on "General" in the left pane.
    Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
    You will prompted with a dialog box to remind you to close the application for the change to go into effect. Click Yes.
    Click OK to save your change.
    Exit Adobe Reader
    B. Fix Several PCs in Your Organization
    Following the above steps aren't practical if you have Adobe Acrobat installed on 1,000+ computers in 30 regional offices! Push this registry setting using your standard software deployment software.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000

  • I cannot open pdfs from my email

    I cannot open pdfs from my email

    Do you really expect that someone will be able to help you with the amount of information you provide...?
    What is your operating system?
    What is your email client?
    What is your Reader version?
    What exactly means "cannot"?

  • Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

    Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
    have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
    So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
    My machine has both on and no problems.
    Thank YOU for your help!!

    It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.

  • Acrobat Reader 9 cannot open pdf attachement to email

    My os is xp. After installing Reader 9, I cannot open pdf attahement to incoming email. The error message is "the file does not have a program associated with it", even though I have already associated pdf with Reader 9 in Folder Option. If I save the pdf attachement to a different folder I am able to open it.
    Maybe I need to rever to Reader 8. If someone cannot solve the error message, maybe can tell me where I can get Reader 8 as it is not in the Adobe free download.

    I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
    But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

    Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

    Are these local or online documents?  If online, in what browser?  If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
    Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

  • Problem with adobe reader when installing on mac book. "Internal error occured".

    Both me and my friend installed Adobe reader on our mac books this week, and it doesn't work. The only thing that happens when we try to open the program is an text message with "Internal error occured". And that's it. The PDF-file is not the problem, and I have the latest version of Mac operating system, so that's not the problem eighter. Mac support told me to contact you. Please help me as soon as possible. Thanks! /Amanda

  • Cannot open .pdfs via Outlook or Adobe Reader, can't open Adobe Reader, can't uninstall it!

    We have a new office desktop that will not open .pdfs or open Adobe Reader.  The version on the computer is 9.5.2.  When I try to install updates or install Adobe XI, the installation process stops before completion because it says Adobe 9.5 is currently being open.  But we can't open Adobe 9.5, and task manager does not even show the program as being open. 
    I have tried uninstalling the program, but have been unable for the same reason.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you may download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Performance Problems (Open PDF from Outlook)

    Hello all,
    Adobe Reader 10.1.3 Multi Language version was rolled out to several hundreds of Win XP SP3 client machines.
    Now users start reporting that Adobe Reader starts very slow. Most users complain that opening a PDF attached to an email in MS Outlook takes very long (10 sek up to several minutes).
    In some forums I found problems with PDFs in Outlook in versions before 10.1.1.
    Does anyone has an idea what causes this slow response?
    Is there anything we can test to come closer to the problem?
    Thanks for help.

    I do not have this problem with Reader 10.1.6 or 11.0.2 on Outlook 2007.
    WhatI would do if I encountered such a problem: observe the process with Process Monitor.  This could give me some clues what is going on, compared to an earlier Reader version that did not cause this problem.

  • Problem Viewing/Opening PDF from Outlook attachment

    Some PDF files will open just fine.  Other PDF files will give me this error: "Can't create file.  Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder."
    Can someone please help?  I am using Adobe Reade version 9.4.1 and Outlook 2003.

  • Cannot open PDFs from a link in another PDF

    Hello, I am having a strange issue on some of my users' adobe readers. (2 users on windows 8.1 PCs)
    I have created an "app choser" (see below image) which is basically an "easy one page choser" for the different "fillable forms" I have created which has been working perfectly up until this week. Basically there is 12 buttons and when the user presses one of these buttons,  the chosen fillable form / app opens which they can then fill in and send on as required.
    However the 2 users that are having problems, cannot open the forms at all. They click on the button but nothing at all is happening. Adobe reader is just not registering that there are links at all.
    The "app choser" works on all my users PC's except 2, so I know its not a location error or to do with updates etc.. Does anyone have any clues or ideas.
    I have already tried going into preferences - trust manager - internet access from PDF - change settings - Allow PDF files to access websites...... but this made no difference at all.
    thanks
    Sara

    doesnt matter i've fixed it. if anyone else is having the same issue then I fixed it by doing the below:
    Edit - preferences- Security enhanced -
    unclick "enable protected mode at startup" - restart adobe reader
    bizarrely i've not had to unclick this on any of my other users PC's (on both windows 7 & 8.1), but was necessary for some reason on the ones having trouble with opening PDF links from the "app chooser PDF".

  • Cannot Open pdf from a link inside a web page.

    I cannot open a pdf that is in link in a web page.  I get an error message saying "cannot find file ... Make sure that path or Internet address is correct"it is looking for the PDF on our network and also when I open the Web page from a flash drive on the same computer where the web page and PDF are in the same folder, it asks if I trust the site and I choose Allow and the PDF does not open then either. But when i do the latter on a different machine, open the folder and web page from a FD where they are in the same folder, it asks if I trust the site and I choose Allow, it opens the PDF.

  • I downloaded Adobe Reader and cannot open PDF files, can anyone tell me why? or what I need to do.

    I am not able to open PDF files or documents.  Why?

    Here is my assessment, Claudio.  I know you are revered among your peers and it's very obvious that you live on these forums.  You have undoubtedly helped a lot of people and you will be rewarded in your afterlife for your endeavors here but here's a reality check for both you and Pat:
    What lesson did D.Call learn from you?  Likely the lesson was, don't post here or you'll be treated as an imbecile by some hotshot bitwhiz named Claudio Gonzalez.
    Did you not see that D.Call said s/he was an inexperienced computer user… and was obviously asking for elementary level assistance?  You were blinded by your belief that your knowledge and expertise is being wasted on anyone who isn’t forthcoming to your expectations.  I merely pointed out that if you think it's such a waste of your time, why dwell?  You should have left Graffiti to work with D.Call and headed off to another thread.  Surely there were other posts requiring your extreme level of higher intelligence.
    Think about this:  You don't like it when someone talks down to you as I have here, now do you?  No one does.  Right now as you read this my guess is you are fuming and likely trying to think of a way to smite me.  You can respond to this post in whatever tone or language you choose but I won't take offense.  I’ll be the bigger man… I promise I won't reply so you can have the last word.
    When you respond, see if you can take it up a notch and maybe even admit you made a mistake with your corkscrew remark.  I don't think you would ever risk being so disrespectful to D.Call, and most certainly, not to me or anyone else if we were face-to-face.  If you worked in my company, you would be fired for disrespecting my customers.
    By the way, do you and Pat have spell check ability?  If you do, you should use it.
