[Solved] Adobe Reader X

Even though I have Adobe Reader X on my computer I can't seem to get any PDF function. When I try to print a page from a website I am taken to a Microsoft Spreadsheet page with some gobbledygook on it. Anyone know what's happening?
Thank you in advance.

 

Hi. Further to Dragnets good advice your reader may have become corrupted.
I would uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader.

 

You might also want to try Foxit Reader, a good, free alternative to Adobe. Available here:

Very good alternative, Bill.
I have used Foxit Reader for some years and never once let me down.
Be careful when downloading as it comes with a heap of crap which you don't need.
Read each download page carefully and decide what you want, before clicking "Next"

 

Thank you, Dragnet. As Sgt Joe Friday used to say on a TVprogram of that naame - 'All I want are the facts, ma'am. Just the facts.

 

Many thanks for your suggestion. Will do that now. If it works I will get back to you.

 

Have been away for awhile. Downloaded FOXIT and all seems to be well now. Great stuff from you guys. Thanks.

 

P.S. What exactly happens when I try to print a webpage document? When I select 'Print Preview' the heading of the article shows but the main article is blanked out. Very frustrating.

 

I don't have to deal with PDF's very often but if you are using Foxit then the image below shows what you should see after clicking File > Print..


You'll notice in my image that the PDF that I opened in Foxit only consists of a single page, but if it had multiple pages I have the option of clicking through them using the arrows at the bottom of the preview section.
Also pay attention as to which radio button you have checked under "Print Range". The image shows that I have "All" checked in this section.

 

Apologies DSTM. I downloaded FOXIT and all now seems to be well. Many thanks.

 

Yes, I do that but invariably the headline will print but the body will not.
