Why is Adobe reader no longer free on my Kindle

Why can I no longer open documents in Adobe reader without paying a monthly subscription of more than £7 which is tidiculous

There is no subscription needed to read PDF files. You may be trying to use one of the conversion functions in Adobe Reader, which are an add-on. This can also happen if you try to do something like open a Word document in Adobe Reader.

  • Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

    Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."  I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

    Try this:
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Empty the trash
    Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

  • Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings in the Edit/Preferences?

    Why should Adobe Reader fail to print because of settings
    in the Edit/Preference?
    Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    MS Window 7
    File > Print > Print
    I got the error message:
    The document could not be printed
    I googled this error message and used the following
    solution that worked i.e. it then printed successfully.
    Edit >  Preferences
    Category: Security(Enhancement)   'Enable Protected  Mode at Startup'
    It was checked, changed it to unchecked.
    Category: Documents    'View documents in PDF/Mode'
    It was set to 'Only for PDF/A'
    Set it to 'Never'
    Exited Adobe Reader and restart it. Then it printed.
    I had a look on another computer system (Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.10
    and MS Window 7) and on this different computer I could print
    without doing the above two changes.
    I'm a bit puzzled. Why preferences on one system were not
    needed on a different system?

    Here is an elaborate method of troubleshooting this problem. There may be a simpler method if anybody wants to suggest one.
    There is a general technique that is helpful in this situation. I can't give you complete instructions here, and I haven't tested this with regard to bluetooth devices, but here's the gist of it.
    Create a second log-on account for your music projects. Configure it so that when you log in to the new music account, the drivers needed for the Bluetooth devices don't load. You do this in System Preferences: Accounts.
    When it's time to do music, log out of your usual account and onto the new one.
    When you install drivers for any peripheral, you have the option of installing them "for all users" or only for the user account that is active during the installation.
    This governs whether the drivers go in root/library or root/Users/your name/library.
    If drivers are in root/library, they will load whenever the Mac is booted up and will run for all users.
    But if drivers are loaded in root/Users/your name/library, they will only load if you log in as "your name". If you have a second account called root/Users/music account/, and you log in under that, the drivers in "your name" will not load. Get it?
    To get this working right you need to be knowledgeable about moving or deleting files in the /library/ directory and subdirectories, and you need to be careful because you can unwittingly cause some damage if you are not careful.
    There is also the root/System/library directory, and in general you should never mess around with anything in there or you might hose your system.
    In summary, I would start by using the installer programs for your BlueTooth devices and DE-installing all drivers. Reboot. Log back in as your usual user account. Then RE-install each driver and see if the installer program gives you the OPTION to installl for all users or just for this user. Choose the latter. Then log on to your new Music account and see if the problems go away.

  • What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!

    What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
    This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
    I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
    Chime in.

    The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING!  Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL.  I can't.  But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
    Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support".  These are very valid comments.  But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL.  In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
    At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users.  Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost?  That's up for individuals to decide.
    I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.

    Why does Adobe Reader change my icons to pdf?

    For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

  • Why does Adobe Reader do not print in English on my computer ?

    I go a e-mail from honeywell company with an attachment.  Why does Adobe Reader transform the e-mail from English to some other languge?

    Hi Margaret,
    I'd like to help! Would you mind sharing a bit more detail? What language does it appear to be? Has this happened with other PDF's? When you installed it - did you select English as the language?
    Looking forward to your response.
    Kind regards, Stacy

    why does Adobe Reader window open When i click on "about windows Media Player" , then click  on "Technical support information". if the file isnt a PDF file then why is Adobe Reader even summoned?

    i looked at Adobe file extensions first and didnt find htm among the ones listed. but then i looked at file extensions and what program is assigned to open htm and sure enough Adobe was assigned to it. i changed it. thank you.

  • Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

    Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

    I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop.  It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page!  Made reading an ebook difficult.
    I finally found the solution:
    Under Edit select Preferences - General
    Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming". 

  • Why my adobe reader english version become chinese version? it works fine in last 6 month

    why my adobe reader english version become chinese version? it works fine in last 6 month

    MacKeeper is a known troublemaker, and is also the subject of two separate class-action lawsuits alleging fraud. Uninstall it immediately!
    Intego VirusBarrier can have a significant negative impact on system performance. I don't generally recommend it, and would recommend uninstalling it.
    Also, having two different apps with active anti-virus components installed is never a good idea, and note that this hasn't prevented you from being infected with the Spigot adware. You probably got infected with this by downloading software from somewhere like Download.com. (See Boycott CNET’s Download.com.)
    For help removing Spigot, see my Adware Removal Guide.

  • WHY WILL ADOBE READER NOT OPEN PDF FILES?

    I have just downloaded free Adobe Reader X. When I try to open a pdf file I immediately get a Microsfoft box saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close"  I have Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced the problem and what did you do to fix the problem so pdf files open?  Setting in control panel is for al pdf's to be opened by Adobe Reader, and when I downloade, I briefly disabled my anti-virus software.  Really frustrating,  Can any one help?

    We saw the same symptoms as you describe.
    It turned out that the new sandbox feature in Reader X is not compatible with Re-Directed "Application Data" folders.
    Disabling the sandbox safety feature (via a special registry setting) appears to be a workaround, but somehow we now feel less safe.
    Folder redirection involves group policy as used in large corporations with IT teams to manage large numbers of PCs in companies.
    For example, in corporate environments, users My Documents and AppData folders are often re-directed at a secure server share, so that people's documents/photos/mp3s they save into my documents are secured on a server, instead of scattered about on various PCs.  Home users never use this technology.
    However, If you've got Adobe Reader X installed to a different DRIVE to the one where your APPDATA folder is, then you might get the same effect.
    I guess this could also happen to peole with Windows installed on their D: drives, and Adobe installed on the C: drive, or similar.

  • Why does Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4.63) keeps crashing in Win7?

    After a few seconds after opening a PDF document or launching the application, it crashes and provides the error below. I've already uninstallaed and reinstalled the application but the same thing happens.

  • Why does adobe Reader XI ask to download Flashplayer when trying to open an Portfolio.pdf document?

    Hello Everyone
    I have a user that created a portfolio in Adobe X Pro. When they send this out to user and they try to open it with the Adobe Reader XI or Reader X it asks them to download the lates Flashplayer.
    All our systems have the latest flashplayer install.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You
    Dave

    I just have to add my 2 cents. While I'm sure this change in program has some benefit for Adobe, to me it's horrible for the end user and makes Adobe look bad. In my organization's case, we have about 400 systems, of which only about 40 have the Flash Player Plugin installed. Which means 90% of our systems do not currently have what's needed to open these documents. Now we will need to start rolling out both version of Flash Player. Not a huge deal with Kace, but it's still a potential point of failure and extra headache.
    While IE's usage stake has diminished greatly, they're still a big player. However, in IE you only get to the "plugin" version if you tell it you're looking for a different browser. The regular IE user says "I only use IE, so why would I want the plugin for a browser I didn't install?" If the plugin version is the "full" version, then maybe you should consider having one installer that includes both ActiveX and the plugin.

  • Why are messages are no longer free

    Messages to one of my friends are no longer free as they were.  I have checked that she is logged into iTunes and her iCloud accounts.  What more needs to be done to be able to exchange free messages?

    She needs the Messages application. Another alternative is an AIM application. You would need an AIM account on your Messages.

  • Why does adobe reader 11 not allow you tube videos to be viewed on my MAC?

    Adobe reader does not allow me to view you tube videos on my MAC.  Why?

    Every time I install the newest version, for whatever reason, if I want to watch a video, I get a missing plug in message.  I don't get the usual "allow or deny" message with it, it just won't allow me to view the video.  I watch a lot of art lessons on line and participate in blogs and this becomes very frustrating.  The odd thing, is that when I un-install Adobe 11, I can view the videos but, of course, then I can't download PDF files.  The weird thing is, other people in my neighborhood are having the same issue and don't know what to do about it.  I may just download an earlier version of Adobe because I didn't have this issue until I updated it some months back.  Maybe my 6 year old MAC can't handle the technology even though I am running on the latest Safari version?
