Why can't I view and download PDF's?

Folks;
I keep having problems since I upgraded to Snow Lepard. Since the upgrade I have not been able to view or down load PDF's like statments from various organizations. It doesn't seem to make any difference which browser I use, Safari or FireFox. Before SL I was able to download these same files and view them in Preview. Any suggestions? Do I need Acrobat Reader?
Thanks

Only a few PDFs require Adobe Acrobat. Preview should be able to open most. What happens if you Option click the PDF link and open it from your download folder using the control-click Open-with Preview?

Well, you can't do this with store credit... if that's what you're trying to do.

Why can't I purchase and download Mountain Lion? I get the following message: The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.

I have tried to re-install Lion, delete different cach folders, etc., nothing is working - I keep getting the same message:
We could not complete your purchase
The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
Please can anyone be of kind assistance.
Thank you!

If you are trying to reinstall Lion, you need to use Lion Recovery

For that issue, quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go
Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store and try downloading MLion.
***** Your post is rather confusing. There's a difference between reinstalling Lion and downloading Mountain Lion.

Why can't I print or download PDF files?

I had Adobe Reader, and all was working fine. Once I downloaded the trial of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, the opening and printing of PDF files became much slower, and now, I am unable to print PDF documents, and downloading or opening of PDFs from the web often doesn't work (seems to freeze up). What's going on?

I'm interested in the answer to this, as I am also having very similar problems.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (we had XI) (in case of file corruption); I've checked if there's an update for our printer (a Brother) and installed it;
We can print any Word document we like, but no matter what I try, I cannot print any PDF file. A message comes up saying "the document could not be printed".
As we are a small business I'd appreciate a swift reply.
Thanks

Why can't I purchase and download product?

I am a Puerto Rico resident. I have been an Adobe customer for more than 10 years purchasing products online and downloading them. I tried to purchase/subscribe to Photoshop CC but could not do it online. I called the Sales dept. and was told the problem is that reside in Puerto Rico!!! Doesn't Adobe know that Puerto Rico is a U.S. jurisdiction??? Adobe's refusal to sell to and allow PR residents to purchase online and download products is unfair, discriminatory and illegal. Can any one at Adobe help me or will I have to file a lawsuit to get this matter resolved?

I forgot to mention that I constantly receive email messages from Adobe advertising its Photoshop CC plan subscriptions. I downloaded the trial version that is about to expire in two (2) days. The ads fail to mention that Adobe will not allow PR residents to download products (Adobe has my credit card info on its record!!).

When I use iBooks in Maverick, why can't I open and read .PDFs as I can on my IOS devices?

I keep getting an error message that says, 'The application "Adobe Reader" can't be opened. -10810' But I've downloaded a variety of .PDFs on my iPhone and iPad and they open and work fine in iBooks.

I has this same problem until I:
opened iTunes
Selected "Books" in the "LIBRARY" section
At this point iTunes posted a message similar to: "Your books have moved...".
I went back to the iBooks app and, presto, I could now open all my PDFs. I went back to iTunes and the "Books" item no longer appeared in the "LIBRARY" section on iTunes. Gotta love quality software engineering!!

Why can't I receive and download my app from Testflight/iTunes connect?

This problem just started during the switch from Test Flight to iTunes connect last week.
I've been receiving the email invite but when I go to download the app TestFlight says:
"You aren't currently testing any apps. To accept an invitation, you must tap the link in the invitation email."
I do that and it takes me back to this screen.
Please advise.

Me too... and now I have a build just sitting in the Processing state on the Prerelease -> Builds screen.
When iTunes Connect was having huge problems last weekend, (March 14 - 15, 2015) at least the Apple systems status page was showing problems at the iTunes Store. but everything is green now. https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Why can't I print out downloaded PDF files?

Such as medical forms, tax forms... It's making me INSANE. I purchased "Reader" among many other Adobe products, but still all I get is the word "error" in my printer queue.

Assuming that you're talking about printing from Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone, you either (1) need an AirPrint-enabled printer, or (2) (for the iPad only), purchase a third party app like Printer Pro from Readdle.
Here's a list of AirPrint-enabled printers:

If you're talking about printing from Reader on your laptop or desktop computer, you're in the wrong forum.

TO MARK,
To tell you the truth, until you asked the question, I never heard of Preview. In trying to open the AP, I saw that it had never been opened and I couldn't open it when I tried today. Can you shed any light on this?

Hi- apparently I also had a similar moment of madness and thought that 'freeride games' would be fun. Well, so much for that! It added a ton of things to my tool bar, I would like to uninstall it, any suggestions for this one?
thanks :)
