When opening a pdf file it views as garbled letters.  Can you help?

Having trouble.  I recieved an email with an attached pdf file and when I try to open it, it appears all garbled.  I have tried opening it on my ipad and it appears fine there.  On my desktop, not so well.  Can you help?  I have upgraded to the most current verion of adobe.

On the desktop, what is your operating system & version?
What is your Reader version?
Does the PDF actually open in Adobe Reader?

    What kind of advertisement?  In Adobe Reader?  Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
    Regarding the crash, can you try disabling Protected Mode through the registry: download, unzip, then run the registry script https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/49eeb48b-07c5-4502-984c-8a25259914fa

    Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

    I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

    my macbook is flashing saying "insert blank disc..." when disc is in computer to burn a cd. Can you help?

    Bummer. Could be a problem with the MBP drive. Are you using Re-writable discs maybe?
    Check the discs work in your HP machine. They may have burnt but not successfully. Your HP machine may not be able to open them either.
    Have you considered using a USB flash device to transfer the photos, or just copy them over your home network? CD is a slow an cumbersome method.

    Ask for serial number http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1234635 has a FAQ link
    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

  • Is there a way to have the thumbnail pane automatically open when opening a pdf file?

    I'm using Adobe Reader X and I would like to have the thumbnail preview automatically open when opning a pdf file. I know there is a setting to remember view layouts but this is set for the currently open document and not in general. Thanks in advance,
    Regards
    Robert

    A particular file can have this setting, so each time you open it you see the thumbnails. The bad news is:
    - this would have to be changed per file
    - this requires the Acrobat product, not just the free Reader.

  • When opening a pdf file on my HP laptop, MS 8.1, i can only open or print one file.  I can't close the file once opened or open anuything else unless i restart the laptop.

    Help. Am not a techie, don't have a clue on fixing the issue.  I open a pdf. and when i try to open another, the original one comes up. Same for printing.  I can only open another pdf. after i reboot. 

    If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
    Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
    -Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
    delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
    -Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
    double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

  • I am always prompted when opening a pdf file

    I have tried all the fixes listed on the help site and I always get prompted as to how to open a pdf file. I have Acrobat Pro 6.0 and Acrobat Reader 10. I uninstalled and reinstalled reader 10.
    I can set the application tab for pdf files to Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox), but everytime I click on a pdf file I am prompted as to what application I want to use to open the file. The only option I have is "Acrobat 6.0 (default)", or save file.
    I have deleted the mime file and the plugin.dat file with no help.

    Thank you for the reply. I had tried all the suggestions in the viewing pdf files section of the help. I also deleted the prefs.jr files and it did not fix the problem.
    I am attaching the two dialog snap shots to help explain what my problem is.
    The first is the application setting showing Adobe in Firefox as the setting I have selected. The second is the prompt I receive everytime I try to view a pdf file by clicking on it.

  • I cannot view PDF in Firefox at the first time but once I manually open the PDF file from my local computer, I can view other PDF files via Firefox webbrowser

    I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much

    Hi there!
    I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
    Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
    I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get.

  • Why does the scroll mouse freez when opening a pdf file in the browser?

    It is very curious, I has this problem more than one year. And now I have tested my pdf documents which a already freezen and there don't freezen. I have tested my small and big and your pdf file and I no longer have this problem.  The problem is resolved.
