Unable to get Adobe Reader to open.

I am unable to get Adobe Reader to open. I am on Windows XP, SP3 and I have tried with Adobe Reader 9, 10, and 11. When I try opening a PDF file, if I look in the Task Manager, the AcroRd32.exe process will appear, however nothing shows up under the Applications tab.

        OK, I got my Adobe Reader working. The solution for me was found on the "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL--can't open pdf files as a result<http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391917?tstart=0>" thread. It was post 51 on the thread by envsafety and it involved downloading and running

    You cannot download programs from anywhere but the official App Store.
    Flash is not available but Adobe does have a version of Adobe reader in the App Store-it is for reading PDFs.

  • HT1222 How do you get Adobe Reader to open when it shows it is downloaded. I have to have PDF!!

    How do you get Adobe Reader to open if it showes it is downloaded, I have tried to open it several ways and nothing happens. I need PDF, HELP!!

    It is showing in downloads that it is there but when I double click on it nothing happens. Nothing at all! It shows the file size and when I look in Spotlight it comes up as the tophit and when I click on it it opens the Adobe Reader icon and shows the file size and I double click and NOTHING happens. I saw in some other posts to use review by Apple. I don't even know where Review is located. I downloaded 10.8.3 last night as it told me to UPDATE. I had 10.8.2. Thanks so much for your reply. Hope you can figure it out, I sure can't!

  • Error message: Your trial has expired. Unable to use adobe reader to open PDF's.

    I have reinstalled the reader several times and keep getting the same error message. My CS6 is working fine.

    Does the error actually say "Unable to use Adobe Reader..."?
    If not, it could be that you have the trial version of Acrobat installed and were using it to open PDF's instead of Reader (Reader doesn't have a trial)?
    If so, you can change your file associations to open PDF's with Reader (how to do this varies by your OS) or install Reader.

  • How to get Adobe Reader to open IE 8 pdf(s) over Adobe Acrobat???

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 installed on my Windows 7 32 computer.  I also have Adobe Reader 10 installed.  Everything was working fine until recently and after using the Acrobat 8 to edit some documents, I could no longer open a pdf. in Internet Explorer 8.   If I try to view a PDF in Internet Explorer 8, I get the message that Adobe that's open can't read the file. 

    So do I need to remove Acrobat 8?  That program was so expensive and has created one nightmare after another.  I can't afford to replace it butseems I can't afford to use it either (if I can't do my online research).  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks for responding!

  • Cannot get Adobe Reader to open anymore

    I have an HP Pavillion 500 PC with Windows 8.
    I installed Adobe Reader last summer and it has been working fine until last week.
    It refuses to download any new files and will not open if I click the icon.
    Please help :-)
    Many thanks!

    First thing I would try: repair Adobe Reader (from Control Panel | Programs & Features).
    If that does not help, uninstall Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    then download and install the latest version from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • Getting Adobe Reader to open at a preset page?

    I have a manual that is in three languages - German, English and Spanish.  The first 113 pages are taken up by the German part of the manual and the English part starts on page 114.  Is there any way that I can set Adobe Reader so that when it opens this document, it opens it at page 114?  Any insight that anyone would care to provide will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Search https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat.html for 'initial view' for what can be done.
    However, these days people open PDF docs with all kinds of PDF viewers, and there is no guarantee that this will work with any of these 3rd-party viewers.  It may not even work with Adobe Reader on mobile platforms.

  • Can't Get Adobe Reader 8.1 to Open in Windows XP

    All of a sudden, I can't get Adobe Reader to open in the Windows XP environment on my laptop. Message: "Adobe Reader 8.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close..." [Error Signature: AppName: acrord32.exe AppVer: 8.1.0.137 ModName: mvcr70.dl ModVer: 7.0.9466.0 Offset: 000013d6] Have tried everything I could think of: uninstalling previous versions, reinstalling 8.1 from the website, disabling Norton 360 protection while downloading. Anybody know what gives and how to fix it?

    >When this many people are having this many problems with the program, Adobe has a problem.
    For every one person that's having a problem here, there could be fifty more that aren't.
    The ones that aren't typically don't come here and talk about it.
    >If you read through the Adobe Bulletin Boards you can see that there are many, many people having trouble with Adobe Reader 8.1.
    And if you read far enough to see the solutions, you'll notice a big trend in user errors.
    I'm not saying Reader doesn't have it's issues (sure it does), just saying that there are no more issues with it than there are with any application.

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

    How do I open trial PS?  I get  "Adobe reader could not open Photoshop_13_LS16.7z because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged..."  What am i doing wrong?

    the .7z extension is a compression format. If your system is trying to open it with Acrobat then somewhere along the line you system has tried to associate the .7z files with acrobat.
    You will need to download software to un-compress the .7z file. you can get a trial version of winzip for example or perhaps winrar - both of which will read that format. (do a Google search for either of these).
    During the installation of either of these you will get the opportunity to associate files with the correct program (including .7z).
    Once you have done that you should be fine.
    Cheers

  • How do I get Adobe Acorbat to open a .pdf file from a sharepoint library without having to checkout the file

    I have a customer that is using Adobe Acrobat pro version 10.1. When they try and open a .pdf file from a SharePoint site, the user is prompted to check out and open the file or open the file. Is there a way to get Adobe Acrobat to open the .pdf file without prompting to check out or open?
    Thanks

    This is mostly a lion thing, rather than a PSE thing. To disable applications opening where they left off last time for all the programs on your computer, go to system preferences>general and untick this box:
    You can also do on a per-program basis, but it's more complicated and the best thing to do is to search around for directions on the web and see which way is least uncomfortable for you.
    There's an odd little glitch in PSE that it opens the last image you had open, even if you closed it before quitting last time. Adobe says this is correct behavior, but of course it isn't.
