The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher.

Hey, I need to work with Adobe Reader to fill some documents on my macbook.

Now the page on safari doesn't open. I recieve the message 

The document you are trying to load requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher. You may not have the Adobe Reader installed or your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use Adobe Reader.

I have the newest version from adobe reader, but it doesn't work.

Can some help me?

Open the file in Acrobat Reader DC. Don't open the file in Safari!

What if you have a chromebook? How does that work? Asking for myself

If it has a Chromebook, or an iPhone or iPad or Android device, you need to get it to a Mac or Windows computer, and open it in Acrobat Reader DC.

I just changed search engine to Yahoo and downloaded immediately

What if you upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro? Does it open in Chrome or Edge?

"What if you upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro? Does it open in Chrome or Edge?"

No, it does not. You can't solve this by paying for things, because the browsers don't allow it any more. You have to download and open in Reader (or in Acrobat if you have it).

I have the same problem. I'm using Windows 10 and get the exact same reply when I try to open a file that I created last year. The file is for a financial form called an FBAR from this government website: https://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/NoRegFBARFiler.html. Obviously I filled out the form last year because I have a pdf of the file that doesn't gives the same response when I try to open it. I can provide a copy of the file if that would help.

Correction: It gives the SAME reply when I try to open the pdf file that I created last year.

I guess I'm getting desperate - making too many errors. The error message when I try to open the year old file is: "

Please wait...
