Unable to open Acrobat PDFs. How do I get my program to work?

I am unable to open my Acrobat program. Is there a way to activate it?

Hello Sara,
Thank you for your response.
Another of your superb Adobe
team was able to take over my
PC and fix the problem with
Acrobat Pro.
Again, my gratitude,

How can I get this program to work -- Adobe Send or Adobe SendNow

How can I get this program to work? I have used Adobe SendNow successfully for several years and am on automatic renewal and getting nothing but frustration for my money! I have been unsuccessful at sending anything in the past several months. Today while working on a deadline and many unsuccessful attempts to upload files, I signed up for a free trial at a competitor in order to get my files sent. Want a refund -- or better yet, keep my money and get it to work right again.

You can't.
Sounds like it he gave you a stolen iPhone or at least a worthless one.

Hi. My new computer had Acrobat on it. Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's. and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription. I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not. What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis. Thanks! I would like to be able to download this and pay online. Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I have a Windows 7 system. Please help!

As long as you know your serial number you can download PSE from here:

How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'? And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open? When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99. I never wanted Acrobat. How can I get -

How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]

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.

Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

After updating silverlight, i'm unable to open any pdf files in the system

After updating silverlight, i'm unable to open any pdf files in the system

According to your User Agent you posted this question using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Are you having a problem with Firefox? What Firefox version?
You said you are having a problem opening PDF files on your system. Can you explain that better? Mozilla Support can help you with opening PDF files in Firefox, which uses a built-in PDF reader. Maybe one of these articles will help?

Adobe x unable to open any pdf, or change properties

Just had an update to Adobe reader x and now I am unable to open any pdf email attachments, any saved older pdfs on local or network drive. Followed a thread on here from last fall, and attempted to open the properties of the reader, but this caused a run-time error and crashed the program completely. Update of the program was difficult, as I could not get the adobe website to work with MS IE. and ended up loading Firefox to get the download.
System is Windows XP professional, SP3, 2gb RAM, and working flawlessly prior to the update.
any current ideas of repair or patch without rolling back or going to alternate pdf readers?

Reader X Unable to Open certain PDFs

Ok so heres there issue..
A client of my company is unable to open what seems to be random PDF files which are sent to them, after doing some testing I found a very strange bug.
While running Windows XP - I am able to open any PDF file from an outlook email attachment so long as it is stored in memory (select the open option instead of save as). This works with Reader X, Reader 9.x, and Acrobat Pro.
While running Windows XP - After saving any PDF document to my hard drive from an outlook email attachment I am unable to open the PDF file using Reader X. Reader 9.x and Acrobat Pro both open the files without a problem.
This poses a major issue because we cannot control what version of Reader our clients use and if they are unable to open PDF documents that are saved to their hard drives from emails using Reader X what do you suggest we do?
Note: I don't believe this is related to the known Reader X issue where people cannot open PDFs from a web page.
Any help or troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

i too have problems with reader x. in hotmail
i can open any pdf but when displayed the documents
are in computer code. only microsoft office doc
uments are opened in a readable format.
this problem on ly started after installing latest versio

Unable to open/save pdfs

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 I am unable to open/save pdfs from citibanks site. I using a Apple Macbook Pro running MAC OX X 10.6.7.
I have no issues saving opening/saving pdf from other financial institutions.

This is not the usual behavior of Acrobat. If it were people would be howling. Possible culprits: virii and other malware (Some of this subset are in the same work-group, people that work together spread the same files and virii). Incompatible graphics cards (however, new and old machines make this unlikely). If you are all using XP then perhaps the firewall or virus protection being used by the core group of people is the same and is causing interference. If it was only one or two out of many, I'd suspect hard drive corruption or faculty memory but with the numbers you are talking about very unlikely. Bad fonts cause problems and they can certainly be passed around a work group. The last possibility is that for the some number of people the uninstall of the earlier version was incomplete. But again, why just for those in the work group...
Lots of possibilities, but no answers. Sorry.

On opening some pdfs in new tab, get a box labeled Adobe Acrobat with a ? in it. Right click on the link gets the pdf. What does the box and ? mean. Running W7, FF 10.0.2, Adobe Standard 9. Thanks

I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7

I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7. The shortcut appears on the desktop but when I click it nothing happens. Same from the program list. Just re-installed from cd but still nothing.

Since you can not open Acrobat (assume there were no errors shown with the installation and this is a new installation), then go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select Acrobat. Select the uninstall/change. Along the way you should be provided an option to repair -- do that. If you like, you can also download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

I am new to working with pdf. I am trying to fill out a form that was attached to a web site. I have a Macbook Pro. I am just learning Acrobat. How do I get the form to accept input?

If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?
