No Adobe Acrobat Reader anymore

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium. I've deleted 1 of the 3 Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 files that I have 3 weeks ago. It's still working at that time. I've tried to upgrade it, but wasn't completed due to a lack file. I've tried uninstalling the current version that I have, but it wasn't successful. We've tried to restore computer settings back to April 2010 but can't retrieve it anymore. Right now, i can't open a pdf file. The program is still on the UNINSTALL Program. Please help. Thanks! - Kat -

Don't worry, try uninstalling it using uninstall program like "ccleaner". You can easily uninstall it and again reinstall the adobe reader. If you still have the same problem, use this Foxit reader as an alternative for the time being if in case, you need to read the pdf file immediately. Good luck. Thanks for using FixYa.

My adobe acrobat reader was working yesterday but today it said the adobe acrobat reader that is running can not be used to veiw pdf files adobe acrobat reader 8 or 9 is required but that is what i have on...

Ensure that you only have one version of Adobe Acrobat installed. I've found that often enough, if Reader and the full version of Acrobat are installed at the same time, it can cause problems like these.

If that is the case, try uninstalling Reader, so that only Acrobat Standard remains.

I AM TRYING TO FILL IN AN APPLICATION FORM IN A PDF FILE AND I DON'T GET ANY OPTIONS TO HIGHLIGHT TEXTS. IS IT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER I'M USING DOESN'T HAVE MICROSOFT WORD INSTALLED?

What program did you use to open the PDF? If you opened it with the default program, you probably used Adobe Reader which does not allow you to edit PDFs. You can import PDFs into several Office suites with add-ons. For example, Open Office 3 has a PDF add-on that lets the PDF be opened and modified in Draw and Impress. There are also online PDF editors and some low cost alternatives to Adobe Acrobat is the full program that makes PDFs. PDFill PDF Editor gets some good reviews

as does www.pdfescape.com/ (an on-line option). Please note that most will put their logo on your document as a footer or somewhere unless you use a paid version.

I hope this helps.

(word does the PDF import more easily as I recall (possibly with an add-on) but there are alternatives.)

I am using Adobe Acrobat version 9, Windows Vista

Hi Jerry! Adobe Acrobat is indeed a excellent PDF editing program. However, you are having trouble on it, why don't you use another software. You can try LightPDF. This program is much easier to use and comes with several useful features such as OCR function and converter. Try it here: https://lightpdf.com/

Vista pc: adobe reader clobbers desktop

Adobe is a bloated, slow resource hog.

Be sure to uninstall Adobe Reader first though.

When I try to open a pdf file, the icon is different and does not open in Adobe, but in MS Word 2007, which of course is does not open properly. This computer (Gateway M6752 laptop)has Vista Home Premium,...

Hey mrbickham,

In some instances, updating existing software or installing new programs onto your computer can cause issues such as what you have encountered. Fortunately, re-associating .PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of MS Word 2007 may be all that you need to do. Most versions of Windows allow users to select the program they want to use to open any given file type, and can usually be done by following the steps I’ve provided below.

1) Right-click on the .PDF file icon.

2) Choose "Open With" from the menu that appears.

3) When you highlight the “Open With” option a submenu should appear. Click on the link in this menu that says “Choose Program.”

4) Another window should then open, providing a list of the available programs on your computer. Choose Adobe Acrobat Reader from the menu and check the box next to it.

5) At the bottom of the page there should also be an option that says something similar to "Always use this program to open this file type." Make sure that this option is enabled.

6) Click "OK."

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron
