Adobe Reader 11.0.2 Error 0:104

[pain55]

Hi, I updated Adobe Reader to the latest version (11.0.2) and all of a sudden I can't view pdf files in browser anymore (firefox & IE), an error comes up saying:

'THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ADOBE READER/ACROBAT. IF IT IS RUNNING, PLEASE EXIT & TRY AGAIN (0:104)'

I can open pdf's saved on my computer but not view them in browser. It's an annoying problem especially because I removed Reader using the Adobe Cleaner tool and re-installed, still same issue.

Please can somebody help?

Thanks!

Not a complete solution, but for Chrome go to the plugins page chrome://plugins/ and disable Adobe reader and enable the built in Chrome PDF reader.

I was meant to write 'IE' sorry for that but yeah I don't use that FF is my main browser, the built in pdf reader on FF is pathetic so for now I have to download and save every pdf I need to view.

Do you think this is an issue on Adobe's side (worked fine before update) or an issue on my machine?

Same problem occurred with me. I installed Adobe 11.0.2, & suddenly I couldn't view pdf files anymore, neither the ones saved in my system, nor the ones I wanted to browse on internet. In the end, I had to reinstall Adobe 9, & now everything's working properly. I still can't understand why Adobe 11 wasn't working. It is an update, which means it should be better, but in my case, it was worse. :huh:

Two things to try

Reset the Display PDF In Browser preference

In Reader or Acrobat, right-click the document window, and select Page Display Preferences.

From the list at left, select Internet.

Deselect Display PDF In Browser, and then click OK.

Choose Edit > Preferences > Internet, select Display PDF In Browser, and then click OK.


Try to open the PDF again from the website.

Or

Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI

Let us know if any help. A Guy

Sorry to dig this thread out, but I had the same issue and kinda solved it. I had this problem with Adobe Reader 11 and Adobe Reader DC, while trying to open online pdfs with internet explorer.

1st step - On Adobe Reader executable, go to Properties -> Compatibility tab -> Check "Run as Admin" (last box) - after this step, the error 0:104 disappeared and now the 0:53 appeared.
2nd step - Right-click on IE and choose to "Run as Admin" - after this step, 0:53 disappeared and it worked like wonders.

After this, so to not be always right-clicking on IE, I had to change the UAC level to a lower level.
Or instead, just use firefox for example, and don't touch the UAC, this also worked for me.
Didn't try on chrome.
