• Cannot open pdf files even if the latest version of adobe reader

  New computer. Old computer has windows 7, new to windows 8. On the old computer, I can open the files, and I can download forms to fill in and save them. On the new computer, I can't open some files and fillable forms will not save empty, not finished.

  I get the error message that says: If this page does not go far, I need the installation/update Adobe reader.

  This means that you are using a browser that uses its own Viewer (incompatible) PDF, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

  To configure Chrome or Firefox see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  I don't know about Windows 8, or if/how its PDF Viewer is integrated in Internet Explorer.

• Cannot open .pdfs via Outlook or Adobe Reader, impossible to open Adobe Reader, it is impossible to uninstall!

  We have a new office that will not open .pdfs or open Adobe Reader.  The version on the computer is 9.5.2.  When I try to install the updates or install Adobe XI, the installation process stops before the end because he said that Adobe 9.5 is currently open.  But we cannot open Adobe 9.5, and the Task Manager does not appear even the program as being open.

• Cannot open PDF files in Distiller 8

  Last week I was able to open a PDF with Distiller 8.  Now, when I try to open a PDF file, this is the warning he gives: warning: Distiller is not treated. Newspaper. PDF or. The JDF file extensions

  I do not understand why I was able to open the file one day and not the other.  I was able to select a PDF file and select 'Open with' and Distiller 8 was in the list and the file would open as it would if I had opened in Reader or Acrobat.  I need to open the file in Distiller to make the necessary changes.  You cannot make the same changes to the files in Reader or Acrobat, as you can the Distiller.  Please help me if you can!

  Same answer three years ago, but I will state as simply as possible.

  Acrobat Distiller does not open PDF files in some way, shape, or form. The only purpose of Acrobat Distiller is to convert PostScript to PDF files, nothing more and nothing less.

  If you need to change aspects of a PDF file, including properties, image compression, file size, etc., you open a PDF in Acrobat Pro and use the native PDF that are appropriate.

  Thank you John. The problem has been resolved. I'm sure this has to do with changes of microsoft with one of their updates since I subscribe to Office 365. Somehow my Acrobat version 10 a program started working again after a week of being disabled. I use windows 8.1 and dread of having to go through windows 10 soon.

• Windows 10 - cannot open pdf files in MS Reader

  Hello, I have recently updated my phone company to 10 Windows in Windows 7. I have been using Acrobat Reader XI without problems. Since I was walking, opening PDF files always ends without response. After you open the PDF, he held only icon for a few seconds and then nothing (not even a blink of a new window / frame). I already tried several methods:

  • Uninstalling XI player associated with the application of advanced uninstaller. Put it back, with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
  • Complete uninstall of the CD with AdobeAcroCleaner_DC2015 player. Then reinstall > unsuccessful
  • I also tried the CD Player update to the latest version, and then using to repair mechanism (help > repair installation) > same result

  When I open the CD (shortcut or *.exe) directly, it runs normally and it allows me to open probably almost any PDF file as in the past. But if I trie to open any PDF file, it doesn't do anything. After consulting the table of processes through the Task Manager, I discovered that there are two processes that are running in the background "Adobe Acrobat Reader (32-bit) DC". It is + 2 after trying to open another PDF file / CD player.

  I also had this same problem on different machines. This is quite annoying, because I don't want to use the native Windows player...

  My current status:

  HP ZBook 15, i7-4800MQ, 16 GB of RAM

  MS Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

  Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - Czech (15.008.20082)

  Hey tomasnav,

  Open the drive, go to the Edit-> Preferences-> Security enhances & disable protected mode.

  Check f, it brings a change.

• Support, latest version of Adobe Flash Player now cannot open PDF files

  I loaded Adobe Flash player today and now I'm sorry I did.  When I try to open PDFs on my mac, I get a message to the effect that I need to launch adobe reader, accept the terms of the agreement, exit my browser (safari) and start it again.  When I try to do all this, I can't find a way to accept the terms of adobe.  So, I'm stuck and so frustrated!  Thanks for your help as soon as possible - please talk in plain language I'm not tech savvy.

  
  

  

  Launch the player in your Applications folder and accept the agreement. This has NOTHING to do with Flash Player.

• Cannot open PDF files on Web sites, or when it is attached to the email!

  Hello
  My computer is running Vista and I had this problem for the last 2 years! I can only receive the PDF sent by one of the companies I work for. I can't open most PDF files sent by attachment or all the files on Web sites. I have Adobe 9 and Foxit Reader and it does not work with either. I tried to re - install Adobe and still no luck. With Foxit Reader that I can manage to open the PDF files sent from the company I mentioned earlier, but that's all. I would really appreciate some help... Thank you very much! :) x

  Try this: uninstall all the software that you have to display the PDF documents. Then try to open a PDF file. You should receive a message that "Windows cannot open this file". If you get the message that the file is "corrupt" or "not supported" means that you have another program or display of PDF files.
  Once you receive a message that "Windows cannot open this file" download and install the latest version of Adobe Reader (9.3).

• Cannot open PDF files in Windows Live Mail.

  I recently got a new computer running Windows 7.  I have Windows Live Mail and have tried to open the 'pdf' files attached to e-mails.  When I try to open them I get an error message.  I downloaded the file in the file management section for Adobe and Adobe.  How to open a PDF file without first having to save it on my computer?

  HURT SO BAD!  I had the same problem - I tried the security options in Internet Explorer and Adobe, also the download of unassociate.exe that was put in place for users of Vista and used on the extension pdf without result.  IF YOU USE IT ON THE PDF AND PDFXML extensions, then open Adobe reader and click Help, repair drive installation it works!

  Obviously, you cannot run your life by saving just to open attachments... Adobe has no answers on their site and find the file unassoc.exe on this Microsoft forum was the closest, I arrived to find an answer. When I tried the process a second time, I saw the PDFXML extension just below the PDF extension and took a shot at it.

  Someone at Microsoft needs this fix to make accessible to all the users of Windows 7. I spent 3 hours on the phone with HP support, he tried the unassoc.exe and it did not work for him. I contact them to let them know about this - they put me on the phone with a Manager and he told me they had literally hundreds of phone calls about this.

• Cannot open PDF files in the browser. I tried every fix mentioned and it still does not work!

  I have Windows XP. Using firefox as my browser. All of a sudden, I can't open the PDF files in the browser. I tried all the mentioned patches. Nothing works! Check the configuration of the plugin, checked the settings Adobe Reader.

  Is the problem that Firefox opens a blank tab, or that it requires you to download the file?

  I guess you tried switching spectators between the internal viewer and the Adobe plugin. If this article does not, steps: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer. Sometimes behind switching will allow to correct an error in the settings file.

  You can rename or delete the settings file that stores these associations and have Firefox regenerate. If the file is corrupt, this could be the only option that works. Here's how:

  Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Leave this window open, activate any Firefox window and quit the program (for example, the file menu > exit or Firefox menu > Exit)

  Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

  Restart Firefox. Your likely PDF preferences will be reset to the internal PDF Viewer, but you can activate the Adobe plugin as described in the above-linked article.

  Any improvement?

• Cannot open PDF files

  I have a HP Pavilion desktop pc with card mother at660a and that you just download the latest Mozilla fire fox and now I can't open PDF files when I am still on the web, can I open then, but as soon as I insert in downloads on my drive hard all the that get is a blank page with the exception of the border etc. but no script , by the way this pc has never used Mozilla firefox.
  But when I use internet explore that it's ok, I have Mozilla on my other PC and I have no problem, but they are charged with an earlier version when I try manually open with Adobe reader, he tells me that the file is corrupted hope you can help thank you.

  For some reason, your Firefox is who identified himself as version 9 instead of version 19. If you select help > about Firefox, can you verify that you have version 19.0.2 or click Find updates and get the current version?

  19 of Firefox has an internal PDF Viewer. To switch to a different Viewer, see the following article: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer. Note that this does not apply to earlier versions of Firefox.

  Finally, please note that current versions of Adobe Reader 10.1.6 and 11.0.2. For your safety, make sure you have a current version.
