The downloaded Adobe Reader XI doesn't work!
This might be known, but I have never experienced it! I downloaded Adobe Reader XI, and when I wanted to open a pdf file, Adobe started....... and disappeared! I thought maybe I had done something wrong, so I tried once more, but with the same result! I found that I wanted to have the old version (X) back, so I unloaded XI and reinstalled X, but ......, you know what? Now the same happened with the old version! There's definitely something wrong here, but what? I think I have tried everything that's supposed, but have come up blank! Can anybody help me?
Hi Puerta40,

I've downloaded Adobe Reader X based on the installation advice of Adobe.
The reader does not function at all, I cannot open any pdf file or open the program itself.
I have uninstalled and re-installed the program several times.
Although I only need the Reader, I note that Adobe AIR is being installed too.
I'm running XP Professional; I'm not computer literate enough to know how to solve this issue.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/
"...the installer had a mistake which meant the preview handler did not work on 64-bit systems.
It turned out the problem could be fixed via a simple registry change. The change is described below and a small program which performs the fix is also provided for your convenience.
Unlike the thumbnail fix, described below, the preview handler fix should no longer be needed by most people, since Adobe have finally fixed their installer, but it's still provided in case it helps repair things. If you had Adobe Reader installed under Vista and later upgraded to Windows 7 then you will probably still need to run the preview handler fix once to clean up a registry value which Adobe set inconsistently between the two OS versions. If in doubt, run the fix and it will tell you if anything needs to be done. If everything is good already then the preview handler fix won't change anything."
Hope that helps. I have the same problem. -
Adobe Reader XI won't validate, so it won't work. It won't update. It won't uninstall. I am stuck with a program that won't work and I can't download it again, as it says, it's already there. UGH! Help! (And I am not super computer literate, so if you have suggestions, please make them for a toddler to understand!) Thanks!!!
Hi Pat,
When the Adobe reader opens a PDF document, it will show the first page, then a text box will pop-up that says it cannot "validate" and then it says the program needs to close, and closes. When I tried repeatedly to remove the program, it would say it wanted to update. If I said no, don't update, it stopped working and did nothing. If I said Yes, update, it said the program was in use (trying to remove) and to close the program first. I did keep going around and around with it last night, and, hallelujah, it uninstalled. I haven't redownloaded the program, because I think this version of Adobe doesn't like Norton Antivirus (I didn't click yes to macafee, because I don't want it). So, currently I don't have any PDF reader. But, it is no longer making me crazy, because it isn't there. You're the best for your sane reply to a crazy woman stuck in an Adobe loop. Much appreciated! -
Adobe Reader updater doesn't work properly in Windows 7
For the longest time, I've been receiving update notifications from Adobe Reader, prompting me to upgrade. I always say ok, download the update. Then it always takes like 1 second to download (hard to believe it's that fast), then I get the install window. I press the "Install" button and the window disappears and I don't receive any additional messages... Until I reboot my computer and I get again the same update download prompt window.
So it seems the update doesn't work and that's why I get that message EVERYTIME I reboot the PC. Not matter if I reboot every 5 minutes, I always get that message.
Please, fix your updater so it doesn't annoy the user like this with non working updates!
Since the updater doesn't work, is there a way to disable it? Thank you!Ok, I've added the registry setting you mentioned, then I've started "AdobeARMHelper.exe" again to get the tray notification about the available update. Then I've clicked it, I got the download window, I clicked "Download", then 1 second later I got another tray notification about the update being ready to install (maybe it takes so little time because the update is already in my computer and so it doesn't download anything). Then I clicked the tray notification and got the install window. I clicked Install, and nothing else happened, as always.
Then, I've checked the "AdobeARM.log" file, and now it shows the following:

It seems there are some errors in Spanish, probably because they come from Windows, which is configured in Spanish in my PC. "El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado" means "The system cannot find the file specified".
I hope you can find the problem with that information. -
The Given Adobe serial key DOESN'T WORK! WHAT?
I JUST bought Lightroom 5 student teacher edition, punched in the serial number they gave me, and it doesn't work. What is the problem here? Why doesn't it work?
Did you obtain the serial number by submitting the code that came with the Lightroom program? Did you receive a serial number from Adobe? Are the first four numbers 1160? DON'T post the full serial number.

Insert PDFs into Power Point with Adobe Reader 10 doesn't work
Hello,
When I try to insert a PDF Document into a Power Point Sheet (Microsoft Office 2003) the following an error occurred: "Die Serveranwendung , die Quelldatei oder das Element konnte nicht gefunden werden oder ein unbekannter Fehler wurde zurückgemeldet. Installieren Sie die Serveranwendung unter Umständen erneut." In English it would be somethink like: "Die Serverapplikation, the sourcefile or the element could not be found or an unknown error get recalled. According to the circumstances install the serverapplication again."
The error appears when I click in Power Point on "Insert" then on "Object" and then on "OK" if the Adobe Acrobat Document is selected. The error occurred since I use Adobe Reader X on Windows XP and on Windows 7.
Have anyone any idea, or know a solution?
Greetings from CologneHallo Andreas,
hier wie versprochen die Keys um den Geschützen Modus per Gruppenrichtlinie zu de/aktiveren.
Der Key für Geschützer Modus wenn er aktiviert ist lautet:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000001
Und demensprechend lautet der Key für den deaktiverten "Protected Mode":
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
Hallo Werner,
wir benutzen hier Windows 7 x64, sowie Windows XP x86. Allerdings haben wir bei beiden Systemen keine Probleme wenn wir den Geschützen Modus deaktiveren.
Kannst du mir vielleicht noch die nachfolgenden 3 Fragen beantworten, damit ich ein bessere Vorstellung vom Problem habe?
Welches MS Office (bzw. PP) nutzt ihr?
Über welchen Weg bzw. über welche Funktion wollt ihr das PDF in PP implmentieren/einbetten?
Wie genau lautet der Text der Fehlermeldung?
Grüße aus dem verregneten Köln

I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.
I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
Thanks.Krispy2010,
Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store. Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned. It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store. -
Dev question: how to prevent Adobe Reader from copying pdfs to "Download/Adobe Reader"?
I am making an app that downloads pdf files from a server and the users can decide to store them in the phone. Those files are kept in the app's private storage.
The pdf files can be opened from inside the app. The problem is that every time a pdf is opened, adobe reader copies it in "Download/Adobe Reader" (the path may be different depending on the device and the android version). Those pdf files should not be available from outside my app. How can I prevent adobe reader from creating copies in that folder? Do I really have to make my app track them down and delete them? It wouldn't be the safest solution...
In order to open the files, I se up a content provider:
from the manifest:
<provider
android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
android:authorities="com.example.myapp.fileprovider"
android:exported="false"
android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
</provider>
And then, in a method, I do this:
File pdfToRead = new File(pdfPath);
Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.example.myapp.fileprovider", pdfToRead);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : appsList) {
String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
context.grantUriPermission(packageName, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
openPDF(context, uri);
public static final void openPDF(Context context, Uri localUri) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setDataAndType(localUri, PDF_MIME_TYPE);
context.startActivity(i);
Thanks for the help.Meh, I just hoped there was a way to tell acrobat "don't create a copy of the file because it's private". For now, I'm detecting the "downloads/Adobe Reader" folder, look if there's the file that was opened and delete it.
Now I need to know something that I can't ask on stackoverflow: what paths does Adobe Reader use to create the "Adobe Reader" folder? Because not every device has an external sd card (external, not removable. Just for clarity). In my device it's at "Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)+"/Adobe Reader". -
Just download Adobe Reader XI for windows 8.1, it doesn't work. My OS is Windows 8.1 64-bits. Two dialogues appear as 1.) AcroRd32.exe Error, The instruction at 0x9068675f reference memory at 0x9068675f. The memory could not be written. Click on OK to terminate the program. 2.) Adobe Reader ha stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution ia available.
What is the Reader XI version you installed?
Does this also happen when you open Reader by itself? If not, can you try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)]. -
