Why can't I use the free Adobe reader?

I just submitted a question and all this pops up.  I couldn't afford the full subscription.  But when the trial period ended, it won't let me open pdf documents. So I downloaded the free adobe reader.  It still doesn't let me open pdf files.  I have become less and less impressed with Adobe.  It has be a real pain to work with.  I'm glad I CAN'T afford it because I think it would be very aggravating to work with just from my experience with the trial subscription.  Is there a way for me to use the free adobe reader?

What is your operating system?  What is your Reader version?  What exactly means "doesn't let me"?
You had a trial of what - Acrobat?  Did you uninstall it after the trial ended?

  • How can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?

    As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
    What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF  to Word export.
    There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.

  • Can an employee download the free Adobe Reader onto a company PC without causing a license issue?

    Also what happens if a lot of the employees do the same?  Does this bring up license issues?

    Yes, the employee can download the free Adobe Reader onto a company computer without a license issue.
    BUT, the company computer would have to be configured such that this activity was permitted. Not all company computers are configured this way. The typical user profile is more restrictive than the user profile we have for the OS and applcations installs on our personal computers.
    Adobe provides a download of the installer on the Adobe.com site. Lotsa people use it to get Adobe Reader; so, no problem if all the employees at your place do it (IF the user profile on the computer permits it).

  • Why can't I use the Basic brush tool?

    I'm learning the ropes of drawing in Illustrator and I've fallen at the first hurdle. Why can't I use the Basic brush tool? Whenever I select the brush tool and use the 'Basic' brush type, the cursor turns into a hashed circle indicating I can't draw. If I load other brushes, I can draw with other brush types, but I can't use the Basic one. If I select the Basic brush when I have other brushes loaded and try to draw with it, it always defaults to a different brush! I don't understand why.
    On a related matter, I'm also having trouble changing brush size. I know that using the [ and ] keys changes brush size, but I have no idea what the values are. If I try this in Photoshop, I can see the brush size in the Options bar, but in Illustrator it doesn't appear anywhere! Not in the Brushes palette, the Stroke palette or the Appearance palette. Where can I see the brush size?

    Glitcher,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

  • Why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output'?

    why can't I use the function of menu item 'issue delivery output' in main screen of delivery note?
    And at the same time I can't use the button of printing in main screen of delivery note.
    the main screen of delivery note I mean above is in screen of maintaining shipping data instand of the first screen of VL02N.
    TKS in advance.

    Hi,
    Because delivery will be having header level output and item level output. So if u try to print through main screen then system will not know whether it is header related or item related. That is the reason it is only print output at header level or item level but not in main screen.
    I think u may have doubt like how billin will be issued output through Main screen. Because for billing both header and item level data are same..
    Regards

  • Why can't I use the landscape feature for iPhone 5? It only works in limited apps. I feel as though I wasted my money since I prefer to use my phone in landscape mode.

    Why can't I use the landscape feature in all of the apps? It seems like a waste of money since I prefer to use the landscape feature.

    It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.
