When I try to open a PDF file I get this message:
"The Adobe Acrobat ?Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again.
I have downloaded the Adobe Reader 9.2..... but I still get this message????
Why do I keep getting this message?
Thanks for your help..

Uninstall Reader. Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool. They try re-installing Reader 9.2

When I try to open a pdf file I get the message: "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I've downloaded the latest reader, but that has made no difference. I use a Mac 10.8.2. Any suggestions or info?
Does this happen with every PDF file or a specific one ? Maybe the file is really damaged.

The acrobat reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a browser
The subject says it all. I'm unable to open a link to a pdf file.
I'm using Mozilla on a Win 2000 machine.
Version 8.1.2 worked fine. I see some people have reverted back to this version. Is that the only fix?"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
Here's the simple solution:
1. Open Adobe 9
2. Select Help on main Toolbar
3. Select "Repair Adobe Reader Installation"
Yes, but make sure that all previous versions of Acrobat and Reader have been removed from your computer.
I had on Vista Acrobat Reader 5 and 9 because sometimes was problem with printouts in duplex on Acrobat Reader version 7,8 and 9.
You can have more then one version of adobe reader on your computer.
I had to uninstall this Acrobat Reader 5 and select Repair Adobe Reader Installation on Adobe Reader 9.3.3 version.
Success.

My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps! -
When I try to open a pdf file I get an error message stating "There was an error opening the document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Other pdf files open fine.

Acrobat plug-in.
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

I got the following pop-up when I tried to open an online PDF file:
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again.
I tried many time, and it really doesn't work.
The plug-in I have is Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280After I upgraded to Firefox 5, I had the same problem and I did a work around temporarily. I went the tools menu, then Add-ons, then clicked the "Plugins" on the left side (4th one down). I "disabled" both Adobe Acrobat 8.3.0.280 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.0.536 using the disable buttons on the right side. PDF files now open again. However they are outside the actual browser.
My guess is that Adobe didn't catch up yet with a new update to work with Firefox or vice versa.
Hope that helps!

Since I installed adobeX when I try to open a pdf file I get an error message
message "adobe cannot locate a DDE server". But it works OK when I use Chrome, but not when I try to open a file on my hard drive or while using MS IE.
You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

The adobe acrobat reader that is running can not be used to view pdf files in a web browser
I have found a few postings related to this error, mostly centered around repairing the installation and checking the HKEY_Classes_Root/software/adobe/exe location. I have repaired and verified this and the problem remains.
My environment is a terminal server environment, we have 2 terminal servers each with Acrobat 9 installed. The kicker is that this issue seems to be plauging one of our TS servers but not the other.
The workaround seems to be having the users that have this issue opening Acrobat>Edit>Preferences>Internet> uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser".
So I suppose i have two questions:
1) how can I identify and correct this issue on the problem terminal server?
2) is there a way that I can globally change this preference for all users that log into this terminal server?
thank you in advance for any assistance!Hi Ankit_Jain,
I actually found another thread here on the forum, which suggested uninstalling, re-starting, re-installing & registering. It worked!
Thank you for getting back to me.
