When I download a pdf file it opens then a dialog box opens and says buy adobe acrobat 8 pro.

I just want to be able to read a pdf file. I have downloaded Acrobat reader 9 hoping this would solve the problem. I purchased this laptop about a  of year ago, and just started using it a couple of months ago. I tried to delete adobe acrobat 8 but it says if i delete it some programs will not work properly. All I want to do is read a pdf file, can anyone help. Thanks.

Thank you this worked but I had to uninstall acrobat 8 and anything that had to do with adobe or acrobat because I previously tried installing adobe 5, adobe 9 and other acrobat items. I was trying anything i could to read a pdf file.

    Hi Scott,
    1. What is the version of Acrobat and Operating System?
    2. Have you tried repairing the product? if not then Go to Help -> Repair Acrobat Installation.

  • When I download a PDF file using Adobe I get a black screen when attempting to print and if I save the file I get a corrupted response when opening it.

    This does not always happen, for example if I get a PDF file by email, it appears to be primarilly when I download from the internet.
    I use Adobe Reader X1. Can you assist please. Thanks

    Thanks Eric, no it does not help the matter. I opened the file using preview and the same message appeared. Thanks.

  • When I download a .pdf file using mozilla, I cannot open that file despite having adobe reader on my desktop. I cannot save the file to open at a later time

    I wished to view a .pdf file of a vehicle brochure. Mozilla found the brochure ok, but would not let me view it or save it. I ended up having to use IE to download and then view the file. How do I enable Mozilla to allow me to view .pdf files< I have Adobe Reader 9 installed on my PC (using Dell and Window 7)

  • Images and Photo's don't show when I download a PDF file or ebook?

    I recently downloaded from MacWorld an ebook titled "Digital Photography Superguide PDF." It appeared on my desktop, and I opened it up using Adobe Reader 7.0.8. The 100 page document shows the text but none of the photo images related to the article.
    I went to Adobe Forum and have not received any answers to this problem, and I also contacted MacWorld and they did not know why I am experiencing this. They said it is a PDF file and that I did not need the "Authorize Devices" to view this file. I have also just noticed that when I saved to my desktop a one page PDF file it is also missing the graphic or logo of the company.
    Can someone tell me if it is in Adobe Reader or OS X?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi, DaisyMay.
    1. Do the images display when you open the document in Preview?
    2. I use Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8, so the preferences should be similar to those in Reader. In Adobe Reader > Preferences, select "Page Display" in the left column (Categories), then see if the "Display large images" option is selected (checked). If not, select (check) it and see if that helps.
    Good luck!

  • PDF File in Preview doesn't show text fields, but OK in Adobe Acrobat

    Someone emailed me a pdf document which I opened in Preview. All the the text fields where there was supposed to be data were blank.
    I then opened in Acrobat and everything was there. Saved a copy from Acrobat and opened in Preview and the text was finally visible.
    Anyone have a clue why this would be happening?
    I'm running Leopard 10.5.1

    We get these files from the vendor , he creates the file in Adode illustrator for us  and he saves the f
    ile in PDF format and sends them . He aslo advised he can open
    the filre in acrodat pro version  and the print pervi

  • How do I save the open tabs when I close Firefox 5? There should be a dialog box opens that asks if you want to do this. Without it I will stop using Firefox.

    This was available in earlier versions and was a great feature. Please restore it or give us a workaround.

    It seems that they decided to disable this feature by default for some reason. In your address bar, type in "about:config" and search for browser.showQuitWarning" in the filter, without quotes. Double-click this string to set it to "true." Firefox should then ask you if you would like to save and quit, or just quit, when exiting with multiple tabs opened.
    Another option is to go to the "General" tab in your preferences and and under "Startup" -> "When Firefox starts," select "Show my windows and tabs from last time" from the drop-down list. This way, your opened tabs are always saved, and always restored.
    Finally, you can achieve this functionality (and more) with the Session Manager add-on. Session Manager is nice because it allows you to save and restore multiple tab sessions. I also find that it's a more reliable fail-safe for saving your opened tabs when it comes to browser crashes.

  • Problems with reading a pdf-file using Safari/Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. and Safari in Snow Leopard I open the pdf-file of  http://dare.uva.nl/document/505726 and small boxes appear in the text f.i. on page 70, 74, on the last page etc.
    I don't know why those small boxes appear only on my MacBook Pro with the installed software and others don't read a corrupt text. If I click in den pdf-file on the right side of the mouse and choose "open with Adobe Acrobat Pro" the pdf-file opens correctly (without small boxes)!

    As you discovered, Adobe Acrobat/Pro/Reader v.9 will crash for all managed user accounts that store their home folders on the server because it has "difficulty" reading and writing to a folder across a network, which is why it crashes shortly after it launches.
    HOWEVER, there is hope. All you need to do is tell Adobe to write all of its files to the local drive rather than the home folder on the sharepoint, as follows:
    While logged into your network-user account:
    1. Go to the "Shared" folder on the local drive. (Local HD > Users > Shared)
    2. Create a new folder named "9.0_x86" if you have an Intel or "9.0_ppc" if you have a PPC (without the quotes for either case). You will have to authenticate as an Administrator.
    3. Go to the Acrobat folder within the user's Application Support and delete the folder in it.
    (Home > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Acrobat > 9.0_x86 or 9.0_ppc)
    4. Open/launch the Terminal application found within the Utilities folder on you Mac.
    (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app)
    5. In Terminal, enter the 1st command for Intel or the 2nd for PPC:
    ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_x86 ~/Library/Application \Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_x86
    OR
    ln -s /Users/Shared/9.0_ppc ~/Library/Application \Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_ppc
    Adobe Acrobat 9 should now work properly. You may get the "quit unexpectedly" error message the first time you quit the application, but should only happen the one time.
    On a side note, the print spool is slow when printing very large multi-paged PDFs.
    This is a fix I found in 2009 by Dennis, can't remember where though.

  • Reader 11.0.2 does not automatically launch upon download of .pdf file

    My OS is Windows 7, my browser is Firefox 19.0.2.  It used to be that when I downloaded a .pdf file, Adobe Reader would launch automatically and display the text, ready to read.  Now the Reader no longer launches automatically; I have to go to the Tools > Downloads list and double-click on the desired file before the Reader will open it.  I can't recall if this problem started when I upgraded the Reader to 11.0.2.  I've uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled and rebooted again - no luck.  Can anyone advise?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can control how Firefox handles each type of file by going into Firefox > Preferences > Applications.
    Please find Portable Document Format from the list and select Adobe Reader as an application.
    Please check the screenshot:
    Let me know if this helps you.

  • Cannot open Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in Windows Vista

    I can no longer open my Adobe or use it in any way.
    All of my other CS4 programs operate fine, and this is not a licensing issue.
    A little Microsoft Window pops up and says that Adobe Acrobat 9.1 has stopped working.
    It will shut down and contact me when the issue is resolved.
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your help. AA9 would not open at any time for any thing; when
    I tried to open a PDF file, when I tried to create a PDF file with word or
    excel or when I tried to open the icon on my desktop.
    I took your advise and cleaned my registry and reinstalled. I also made
    Adobe Reader 9 my default PDF reader. However, although I can create PDFs
    from word or excel (with it still stopping as soon as the document has been
    converted), I still cannot open AA9 to create a new portfolio or add to an
    existing or open the icon on my desktop. I have tried to repair the
    application but with the same results.
    Any ideas? And thanks again for your help.

  • Why am I not seeing Adobe PDF as an option in my Dialog Box?

    I am trying to prepare a booklet for print. After selecting Print Booklet option, the Adobe pdf option is no longer in my Print Dialog Box. I need to send this file to a printer so it must be formated as the pdf. Why am I not seeing  Adobe PDF as an option in my Dialog Box?

  • When i select a pdf file for download in a webpage instead of automatically downloading the file and opening it using adobe acrobat I get a new blank window in the browser and it says done in the bottom left corner

    when I select a pdf file within a webpage and click to download instead of getting the "download" window and the file automatically opening after download using adobe reader I get a blank webpage (in the same tab) and in the bottom left corner it says"done". No file is downloaded and if I click "back" I just return to the webpage containing the link.

    Aha!  The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat.  This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list. 
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37:  nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37.  This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder. 
    Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218:  nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50. 
    As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat.  Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current.  Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying  upgrades or newer versions.
