Why won't PDF's open in Yosemite. I uploaded current Adobe and still no opening.

I just downloaded the new Yosemite, and now it seems that my PDF's won't open. I downloaded the newest version of Adobe reader last night and still they won't open. When I try, using Preview, they just disappear.

After the installation, did you repair permissions and restarted your computer?  If so, then I suggest that you should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product.

Highlight your PDF file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the application you want to open the file with.  In your case - Preview
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”
==========================
Short cut:
Control mouse click (right mouse click if available), Open With...-> Other
Pick Preview on a PDF document, and make sure to check Always Open With before hitting Open.
Thanks to a brody for the above.

  • Why won't PDF files open anymore?

    Suddenly my iMac won't open most .PDF files - specifically those that are imbedded in the body of emails or may be identified by a hotlink on websites.  But if one is simply attached to an email, that seems to open!?!  The only thing I think I've done  since everything worked properly was to agree to install Adobe Reader 10.1.3 and Adobe Flash Player.  Can anyone help me to rectify whatever error I'm experiencing so that I can open .PDF files once again?  Thanks, in advance, for your help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Why won't pdf files open from flash drive?

    Some files I have on a flash drive will not open. Some error messages say file is   damaged and cannot be repaired   or  cannot read (109)  or internal error.

    Damn. What about files that say "internal error"? Those files I have can open up, but some of the pictures and pages and text is missing on those files.

  • Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

    why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    When I get the Please wait... message and have the latest Adobe update why won't the document open?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version ("latest" means nothing)?
    Is this a local or only PDF?  If online, in what browser?

  • Why won't my iphoto open - it is there in applications ?

    my iphoto won't open... But the pictures are still there
    I added a disc and somehow have zipped some files
    How can I get this reset to a different day?
    Can you do that with a MacBook?

    Sorry but with that amount of information no one can help
    We can not see you or your computer and can not read your mind so you have to actually tell us details
    Start with the version of iPhoto and of the OS and details about what is happening
    Why won't my iphoto open - it is there in applications ?
    I believe you are saying that the iPhoto Application is in your Applications folder which is good
    my iphoto won't open
    Ok - but exactly what does happen? telling us the problem without details does not give us anything to work with
    My car won't start - Why?
    But the pictures are still there
    Does this mean tha the iphoto library is still there? or that you see the photos in iPhoto? Exactly what does it mean?
    I added a disc and somehow have zipped some files
    Is this revelant to the issue? If so then again details - what does "added a disk" mean and what disk did you "add"?  Wnd what exactly did you do to "somehow zip some files"? What files did yoo\u "somehow zip"? What did you do with the files you "somehow zipped"?
    How can I get this reset to a different day?
    I have no idea what you want to know here
    Can you do that with a MacBook?
    What is "that"?

    Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • I just transferred my garage band songs from my iphone to my mac. Why won't garage band open them? I just upgraded to ilife '11. Still won't work. Garage Band cannot open files in the "data" format.. Any Ideas?

    I just transferred my garage band songs from my iphone to my mac. Why won't garage band open them? I just upgraded to ilife '11. Still won't work. Garage Band cannot open files in the "data" format.. Any Ideas?

    Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
    I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
    How did you transfer the song?
    To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see:  Share GarageBand songs

  • Why pay for pdf Export if I am a member of Adobe Applications?

    Absolutely no reason. Because Adobe Acrobat includes this function already. It's just a service for people without Acrobat.

  • Why won't logic 7 open after installing PT LE 7

    does anyone know why logic 7 isn't opening after i installed PT LE 7? i just upgraded to tiger and PT 7 but now my Logice 7.1.1 won't open. it freezes while trying to start up and then i have to 'force quit' in order to shut it back down. any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    david

    Pro Tools LE and Logic Pro don´t have anything to do with each other. Installing PT LE 7 shouldn´t change anything with your Logic setup, unless of course you use your digidesign hardware in Logic as well.
    If you use the digi hardware as your interface in Logic, try to drag the digi core audio driver out of its folder and try to start Logic again. The digi core audio driver used to cause a lot of trouble.
    Also, if you had Logic on your system before, try to throw away all its preferences, especially the Logic PM data! Check the prefs folder in the system (root) folder and your user prefs folder as well.
