Why isn't "Open in Adobe Reader" an option?

I have just downloaded the Adobe Acrobat app for the iPad mini.  I am trying to open various PDFs sent to me in an email, but there is no option to open in Adobe.  I click "open", I'm sent to a webpage is google docs, I select Airdrop, and my options include twitter, facebook and mail, but not Adobe.  Is there a way to add it to the airdrop options?  Also, with these particular files, there is no option to long hold until adobe reader pops up. 
Any help is appreciated. 

mikemccullagh,
What is the mail app that you use to open PDF attachments on your iPad?  Apple Mail or something else?
You can take a look at the following FAQ document to use the "Open in" feature.
How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
Please note that various Google apps for iPad/iPhone do not usually support "Open in".  For example, the Gmail app for iPad/iPhone does not provide a straightforward way to open a PDF attachment in other apps that support the PDF file format.
How do I save a PDF attachment from Gmail to Adobe reader?
Is that the problem you have with Google Docs?
If you can provide more details about which app you are currently viewing a PDF document, we can figure out how to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.

  • Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi all,
    I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
    The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
    The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0.  The operating system is XP SP3.
    As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
    Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

    Even if it doesn't have a password, the original author has applied "plagiarism" prevention to it.
    There is a program from Wondershare, called PDF Password remover, that will remove such restrictions, but I'm not allowed to recommend it, only to point out it's existence.

    Try tapping the pdf and pressing "open in". This should allow you to open your pdf in reader. Let me know if this does not work for you.

  • How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'?  And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open?  When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99.  I never wanted Acrobat.  How can I get -

    How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
    Please reply to my e-mail:   [email protected]

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • How do I save/download a PDF file  as an actual PDF that opens in Adobe Reader?

    When I save/download a PDF from Google Chrome it always saves as an Internet Explorer file instead of a PDF that opens in Adobe Reader.
    Why is this?
    And how can I fix it?
    I really need PDF files for school and work.

    What means "an Internet Explorer file"; what is the file type / extension?
    Also, how do you "save/download" these files?

  • Why I cannot open my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    Why I cannot open my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

    Have no clue. You have given us no information. What OS, what happens when you try to open Acrobat X? Are you trying to open from the Acrobat icon or by double clicking on a PDF? Add screen shots if needed to show the results, particularly any error messages.

  • Email pdf to iPad - is there a way to open multiple pdfs at one time without having to hold each individually and open with adobe reader?

    I have a large number of pdf files to send to an iPad and it is taking forever to hold down each one and then choose to open with adobe reader.  Just wondering if there is a way to select all from the email to do the same action?

    Not that i know of but an alternate would be to use something like dropbox instead of mail. Their app works very well.

  • PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

    I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

    Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
    I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
    As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
    Still waiting.

  • PDF does not open in Adobe Reader 7

    I am working on a  project where we create PDF documents with FOP. The generated PDFs open in  Version 6, 8 and 9 but NOT 7! We get an error
    "There was a problem  reading this document(114)" The document is partially rendered and disappears  when you scroll down etc.  I need to know is there a setting specific to Acrobat  7 that is causing this or is there something in the XSL mark-up that Acrobat 7  does not like. I am really under pressure for a fix on this one so any help or  assistance is greatly appreciated.
    I have also posted this to the acrobat forum apologies But Desperate!

    Apache Fop http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ takes an xml file and combines with an xsl stylesheet to create a PDF. (Although we are using a .net verion FONET). This is a problem with Adobe Reader 7.0. I cannot upload a file since the material is highly confidential (a criminal record!) I can confirm that this has been tested on several machines. The PDF is valid and can be opened in Adobe Reader versions 6, 8, 9 and Foxit but not Reader 7. I can only assume that there is something in the generated PDF that Reader 7 does not like and perhaps this is a bug since the PDF can be opened in earlier and later verions but not 7!

  • PDF Opening in Adobe reader with previous/next buttons always showing

    Is there any way to make it so when a specific pdf is opened in Adobe Reader, it always opens with the previous and next buttons showing, regardless of the user's settings?
    Thanks in advance.

    No.

  • Can I force the pdf to open in Adobe Reader?

    <Captivate 7>
    Hi,
    In my lesson, I have a link that opens a pdf.
    The pdf opens in the browser.
    Is there any way to force it to open in Adobe Reader?
    thanks!

    Hi there
    This is a question that is likely better suited for the forum supporting PDF reader. However, I seem to recall seeing something a year or four back that said this was a preference for each user. If that still holds true today, it would mean that you really have no control over it from the authoring end and machine A might open it and see it in the reader as you want, while machine B might open it and see it in the browser.
    Hopefully others will share more light on this. Until then, I'd recommend using Google to search for opening PDFs from browser links.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Form will not open with adobe reader when using chrome and mozilla

    The form opens fine in internet explorer, but when opened with chrome and mozilla it says that parts of the document could not be displayed and the 'submit form' and 'print' functions do not work? how do I get it so that the forms open with adobe reader as a pdf automatically instead of opening in another search engine tab?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Chrome and Firefox use their default PDF viewers instead of Adobe Acrobat / Reader and hence most PDFs will not be fully functional in those.
    For that you just need to change the settings :-
