Adobe Acrobat seems to be frozen
I have problems with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. It was working fine until yesterday, when it seems to seize up - I can't open to read PDF files at all.
- When I double-click the icon in the apps folder, a popup box informs me that the app "is not open more" (this, even if in the dock, the small black dot appears next to the drive icon, which normally indicates an application is open).
- However, if I try to drag the drive icon to the trash, I learned from a second box of pop - up that the app "cannot be moved to the Trash because it is open."
-J' stop force does not work, no matter how I try:
- When I click and hold the icon in the dock and the dialog, I select the force quit, but nothing happens.
- When I go to force quit menu Apple and select Acrobat and click on leave force to it, nothing happens.
At this point, I just want to remove it so that I can re-install the app and be able to read my PDF files even once.
I'm under El Capitan (towards 10.11.3) on a MacBook Pro. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
In case it helps, that's what I got when I ran EtreCheck (associate down to protect certain personal information):

Some time ago I bought Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and aired on a Windows XP laptop. I recently bought another laptop running Windows 7 Professional, but it seems that my version of Adobe Acrobat 4.0 is not compatible with Windows 7. What should I do? Should I purchase an upgrade?
Hi johnindallas,
Yes, you reason as acrobat 4 is not compatible with Windows 7.
Acrobat 4 is a very old version and Adobe no longer provide support for this version.
I suggest you buy the Acrobat DC subscription or license.

My analysis is contained in my question.
Basically, I bought Adobe Acrobat 9 and now am unable to operate on my new computer.
Do I have to buy a new version of Adobe Acrobat Pro? It seems that there should be an upgrade, rather than having to buy the product again?
Thank you

I seem to have lost my Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
Hi, I have 10 Windows installed and seems to have lost my Adobe Acrobat Reader software. When I try to download a copy, it fails and tells me that I already have a newer version installed but there is no sign of it in the control panel of the programs list. Any ideas?
Run the cleanup tool "Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs' first to remove all traces of Reader installed on your machine.
Then, restart your computer and install the software from the below link:
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions
Let me know how it goes.

Hello
Could a right click on the PDF file > open with > choose program by default and select CD player as default PDF Viewer.
You can do it from the control panel as well.
This would make CD player as default PDF Viewer.

Note, I've seen this problem since 10.10.0 and tried to follow the permissions situation where he'd just leave. I have reinstalled twice. There are no permanent solution?
Hi Robert,.
The Acrobat installer is built on a different technology than the rest of the apps and so the difference of update.
Now that Acrobat is updated to v 11.0.07 you still get the original error "installation corrupted... reinstall?
Regarding the update error, try to download the update manually from: Adobe - Acrobat: for Macintosh
and install and check.
Kind regards

Other users have reported similar problems. My particular case: Running Firefox - date (42.0) - Windows 7 (as so far). Firefox has constantly watch the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in is not up-to-date. I tried to update and reinstalled Acrobat. I just had request Acrobat update which has been a success and also updated to Firefox. Firefox still has reports that Acrobat is obsolete. Firefox reports that the current add-on is 15.9.20069.28170, but clicking on update now button on the Add you check page contains links to a page of Adobe update with the version number 2015.009.20069. When I search (Google) for the latest version, I've reached a page that lists all versions, updates, etc.. The latest version is 2015.009.20069. According to the Panel, the version of Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed on the computer is 15.009.20077!
As far as I can tell it's working properly, updated regularly. I don't know where the 28170 number comes from or why page Add on reports that Acrobat is out of date, unless the version update of the Acrobat Reader software is not actually update the Add On from Firefox portion.
Any suggestion or comment?
My suggestion is to ignore the information from the website of checker plugin and use the built-in functionality of Adobe to check updates. In your DC of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat DC:
Help menu > check for updates
While the site checker plugin uses data provided by Adobe, there seems to be some discrepancies between the program and the version number of plugin that have not yet been resolved.

Compatibility of Adobe Acrobat and Reader DC
Problems with Adobe Acrobat DC gel/accident. On more than one computer, not one with 10.11.4. In addition, Adobe and MS Office do not seem to play. All Office products, freezing too. Having to manually restart computer.
Is there something else installed on those computers that could cause a problem?
Any anti-virus Mac or the 3rd party utility to 'clean up', 'maintain' or 'pipe' otherwise your system
If so, remove them
fact this behavior happens with all the PDF files or a group or a. If select group (or one) follow the original source of the files and see if the generation of PDF of this system continues to cause problems. If a single file only checks to see if something in this file is damaged at the time the PDF is created.
If all files PDF is causing a problem
Is your DC up to date?

Portege R600-11b - cannot install Adobe Acrobat 9 - ActiveX problem
I recently bought a Portege R600-11b and have tried to install Adobe Acrobat 9 on it by downloading it from the Adobe site.
I spent many fruitless hours talk to Adobe to try to solve this problem.They concluded that my laptop is not compatible with the software.
This isn't the case, that this laptop exceeds the specification of systems required in all aspects.The problem seems to be that it won't work ActiveX even after all the firewalls and anti-virus in disabled - I don't know hardly what to do - anyone has any suggestions please?
> They concluded that my laptop is not compatible with the software.
That s just absurdThe Adobe Acrobat Reader software is a small application and can be installed on almost all computers and systems so that s certainly not a reason why you are not able to install this software.
If this problem is related to the ActiveX, then you can change this in the settings of your internet browser.
For example, using the IE7 you could modify this here:
Tools-> Internet Options-> areas-> {}-> ActiveX controls and plug - ins area-> allow unused ActiveX controls to run without promptYou can also try to clean the operating system and the registry because the problem might be related to faulty registry entries.
To do this, I would recommend using the free CCleaner tool.Finally and above all it s always advisable to consult the homepage of support from software manufacturers. Here you will find some documents on installation with the Adobe Acrobat Reader software problems.
