Why won't Adobe Reader install on my iMac OS Yosemite?

Adobe Reader seems to download okay but won't install. Any thoughts?

No, not fixed.
It is very confusing having two users with two different problems in one discussion.
To the o/p: try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
If that doesn't work either, please provide details on "won't install".

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 won't adobe reader open my jpeg files?

why won't adobe reader 11 open my jpeg files?

Hi Nassman,
Adobe Reader is a read only software for PDF files. JPEG is not a supported format which would open in Adobe Reader. You would need to open Jpeg in application which supports this file format.(e.g. Photoshop, Picture Viewer, MS Paint)
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other question.

Why won't adobe reader show text?

I am working for my eagle scout rank and in order to do my service project, a form must be filled out on the computer as a pdf. I started the PDF on my old dell, and i downloaded Adobe reader for my mac to finish it. For preview, it takes the lines of the paragraph and overlaps the words, rendering it unreadable, and for adobe reader, the words are invisible unless editing those words. when the text box isnt selected the words disappear. Why isnt this working and is there a setting i can change to fix this?

Difficult to say without further details. The fact that both Preview and Adobe Reader have difficulties with it suggests that the file itself may be corrupt—or that you have fonts issues on your Mac.
You need to isolate the problem. Download another PDF file and check if it shows any anomalies. Gather info on the problem file; eg, in Preview, use Inspector (Tools > Show Inspector) and check PDF version, content creator, and PDF creator.

Why won't adobe reader download?

Hi,
I am running windows vista ultimate 32-bit operating system. I had adobe reader 10.1.13. While trying to open an important document, it said that I needed the latest adobe to open. I tried to update to 10.1.4, but it kept getting hung up on step 2.
I finally uninstalled adobe and tried a new download of 10.1.4. But I still can't get past step 2. I have tried to download in both Chrome and IE9 without success. My active scripting is enabled in IE. I finally tried to download adobe XI, but that too failed. I restarted the computer in between each attempt. I had this problem updating updating adobe flash and last week someone provided a link that worked, but I cannot find such help for reader and am hoping someone can help me.
I now have no reader at all and there is a very important, time sensitive document that I need to open from the state of IL. Can someone please help? Thank you.

Use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Note that Reader XI is not compatible with Vista; download/install Reader 10.1.4, then update it to 10.1.13.

Why won't adobe reader print a .pdf?

I have worked on this Mac at my job for 3 years. Much of my job is online research, and I frequently print .pdf documents, or "Open .pdf In Preview" and select pages to print.
About 2 weeks ago I found that .pdfs would no longer print or Open In Preview. I can still Select the content and copy it to a Word doc and repair the formatting for printing.
But I would really like to just print the .pdf.
How to find out what's wrong? How to fix it?
I have already re-installed Adobe Reader and downloaded the latest version.
Thank you for any help.

Hi Shayne Laughter,
Adobe Reader is for reliably viewing, printing, and annotating PDF documents. It’s the only PDF file viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia, hence we cannot print documents to PDF using this.
Also, Preview is a default application in Mac used to view and edit images and PDFs. If you are not able to print documents to PDF then the issue is with Preview and I would suggest you to check with Apple.

Why won't adobe reader open now?

I have just updated my adobe reader software on my ipad as prompted by adobe. And now it will not open. Why?

There is currently a problem with the 11.2.2 version of Reader running on iOS6. The engineers already know about it and will have a fix soon.

Why won't Adobe Reader X let me save PDFs?

This all started fairly recently, like within the last few weeks.
If I hit save when I am in Adobe Reader X, it does nothing.
Scenario 1: Online
If I view the docuemnt within my browser, then click on the icon at the bottom that says Save, nothing happens.
Scenario 2: Offline
If I view a document i have on my hard drive, I can view it fine, but if I highlight something, then save, it says "where do you want to save it" and "are you sure you want to overwrite?" and then nothing happens. If I then attempt to close it, it will say "Do you want to save it?" then the other two questions and then nothing happens. I have to "Revert" then close if I want to close the document.
Per a previous thread that semed to be abruptly cut short on exactly the same topic, i tried their solutions as well:
Right clicking on a link to a file online, and saving works just fine.
However there was no response from the original asker after those steps, and that didn't help me.
Any thoughts?

I've seen the same behavior - floating toolbar save button or main toolbar save button ineffective even though enabled. Win 7, 64 bit + Firefox. Very frustrating when trying to save local copies of financial statements, etc. I did find a workaround that hasn't failed me yet: with a problem document open in the viewer:
Try to save (Ctrl+Shift+S OR floating toolbar OR main toolbar). If it fails ...
Click print (tried both floating or main toolbar, assumbe Ctrl+Shift+P would work too)
When the print dialog window appears, cancel
Try save again.
Works now!

Why Won't Adobe Reader Find Items in a Document That Are Clearly There?

I performed a regular and advanced search of a document for words that I knew were there and Adobe Reader told me that they were not there. I was looking at one instance of the item that I searched for and Adobe Reader told me that it wasn't there but I was looking directly at one place where the words I am searching are located. Adobe Reader tells me that it is not in the document ANYWHERE, which is a lie because I can read and the words for which I searched are there at least once but Adobe Reader tells me that the words for which I am searching are not in the document at all. This isn't the first time that this exact thing has happened to me with Adobe Reader, I am simply tired of taking extra time out of my day to search a document manually when there are supposed to be tools to do that for me. Sorry for repeating my problem twice but I am frustrated and I want to make myself ABUNDANTLY clear. Can anyone help me?

It all depends on how the PDF was created. One reason text isn't found is because there isn't any text, just an image of text. This will happen with a scanned document that hasn't been OCRed. Another reason is when a font's Unicode mapping table in the PDF are missing or corrupted, which breaks the link between a glyph and its corresponding character code. In short, there is no association between a glyph that looks like an "A" with the letter "A" that you type. If you could post a link to a sample document, we could tell for sure what the problem is.

Why won't Adobe Reader accept my password to convert pdf to Word?

I know my password is registered! And, I cannot believe my year is up on the $20 fee! But, if it was, you would think I would get an email from Adobe reminding me to resubscribe or an error message reminding me to re-register and pay the fee, again!

Why won't Extension Manager install on my iMac ?

Do I need Extension Manager for my Photoshop/Lightroom CC plan? If I have it, where would it be listed in my Applications folder? It is listed when I open I open the extensions manager and says that an update is waiting, but it cannot download.
Roslyn

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for your reply. I have used Photoshop and Bridge for a long time and have just started trying Lightroom. The few extensions I have used so far are from third parties. I integrate found images with my own photographs. Please check my website: www.roslynrose.com. The only reason I got confused was that, while updating my Creative Cloud for Photoshop and Lightroom, I kept getting a message to install Extension Manager so that it could be updated. I had never bothered to install it before. What extensions, if any, do you think I need?

Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder. I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me. I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more. This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

TS1702 Why won't my apps install on my ipad? it keeps waiting. Please help

Why won't my apps install on my iPad, it just keeps waiting. Please help.
Thanks.

These are all steps that have worked for some other users in the past. They may not work for you, but they are worth a try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
Any help is appreciated
....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.
Regards,
Luisa

Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance. I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool. I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa
