Adobe Acrobat documents continue to open in web browser...

Hi,
I have a situation with 
Web application general setting "Browser File Handing" set to strict in the general settings. Also tried changing to permissive, does not help.
Site collection "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" feature Enabled
Document library advanced setting "Default open behavior for browser-enabled documents" set to Open in the client application.
The documents still open in the browser. Any suggestions? Can serverfiles.xml help?
Regards,
Arsalan.

There is no server-side solution. This is a client-side application configuration. It is basically an ActiveX plugin that Adobe Acrobat installs to handle opening documents in the browser, SharePoint has no control over it.

  • Does an adobe reader read the Adobe acrobat document that has been downloaded from a web site

    I am having trouble opening anything that has been downloaded into a adobe acrobat document . I am wondering if I am suppose to have an Adobe reader to read it and why is it not  being read because it is not a supported file type or because  the file was damaged sent as an email attachment  and wasn't correctly decoded. I am not very computer illiterate and don't understand what I need to be able to get a embroidery designed sent to my computer and be able to open it up.?

    Hi Adpdfacct808,
    PDF is the document standard that you are trying to read. If you have Acrobat installed then you can open the pdf with Acrobat to read it.
    What error do you get when you try to open the document?

  • Why can't I open an adobe acrobat document 1.xls. sent to me.

    Why can't open a pdf file sent to me marked adobe acrobat document 1.xls ?

    Mylenium is correct you will want to look at utilizing a program which lets you open Microsoft Office spreadsheets.  This is not something that Adobe currently offers.

  • Hello, how can i modifie in the options, aplications, Adobe acrobat document, open with Adobe acrobat (in Firefox) instead of open with portable document format (default). Thanks

    I can'T open pdf links in another page, because in options, aplications i have in Adobe acrobat documents open with portable document format (default) and i must put open with Adobe Acrobat (in firefox) default.
    Where can i change the default?
    Tnaks

    All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
    this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
    Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

  • "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

    I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser.  Reader will now exit.  Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7.  This happens when trying to open  a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008.  If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally.  If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected.  I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome.  Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat.  Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

    tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
    1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
    2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
    3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
    My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.

  • Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

    Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

    As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
    Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
    On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
    Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

  • How to enable indexing of a protected adobe acrobat document

    Hi
    I was trying to index all Adobe Acrobat documents inside one directory but I got a message suggesting that indexing of password-protected Adobe Acrobat documents is not possible.
    I would like to know if there is a protection level (say read-only protection) that allows indexing of Adobe Acrobat documents. That would allow me to search for specific workd inside my index of Adobe Acrobat documents even if they are password protected.
    Or is there any other means (say an add-in) that would allow indexing of password protected Adobe Acrobat documents and then enable searching thro these documents.
    A.C.

    In the security settings enable copying of the. Don't assign a open password.

  • There is no Exit menu item on my Files menu, can't add Adobe Acrobat Document to Applications.

    Firefox 3.6.12, Reader 9.4, (reinstalled).
    Firefox downloads a pdf file rather than opening it.
    Adobe Acrobat Document is not listed as an application (Tools>Options>Applications from FF menu).
    FF support page suggests opening profile, then File>Exit and deleting a file. However, there is no Exit option on my File menu.
    The Adobe forum feels that this is a Firefox problem, especially since Reader works file with both IE8 and Chrome.
    I want to make it work in Firefox....any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Solved with a workaround. Initial confusion was that Exit was referring to the main Firefox browser, not the window that opened with File. Then had to delete the dll file suggest by Mozilla support. There was also an apparent conflict between Adobe Acrobat and Reader.
    Working for now.

  • Is there any way to reset the file type to "Adobe Acrobat Document" rather than "pdf file"?

    An update from WordPerfect automatically installed Foxit on my computer without warning me.  I uninstalled it and reinstalled CS5 and Acrobat 11 but when I look at a list of files in Windows Explorer, all of my PDF files are simply listed as "PDF file" rather than "Adobe Acrobat Document".  I rely on the Adobe name to get my PDF listed at the top of list of files when I sort by document type for something that I need to do 4 or 5 times a day.  Having it buried under "PDF" is causing lots of errors.
    I've tried searching the registry but can't find anything that would make this change.  I know it's related to the computer because when I use my laptop to view the same folder on the desktop, the laptop shows the files as "Adobe Acrobat Document".  I just don't know where to look to fix this.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    GiGi

    I have already reinstalled both Adobe Reader and the full version of CS5 which includes Adobe Pro.  Neither of those steps worked. 
    Thanks,

  • Changing Applications default content type for e.g fro Adobe Acrobat 7 to Adobe Acrobat Document

    How can I change the default Applications content type, currently it point to Adobe Acrobat 7.0 the correct content type should be Adobe Acrobat Document.

    See the [[managing file types]] article, in particular the section on changing download actions. You may need to select "Use other" and browse to the application if it is not listed as one of the default options.

  • Printing PDF Adobe Acrobat Documents

    I receive emails from my job and the attachments are PDF Adobe Acrobat Documents and I get an error message when I try to print them.  The error message is:  PROP Res DLL Not Loaded.  I have talked to a computer tech to see why I could not print those attachments and they said that I needed to download the Adobe Flash Player.  I have done that just recently and I was given the notification that it did download.  I went to try to print those documents and I get the same error message: Prop Res DLL Not Loaded.  What do I have to do to be able to print those documents?

    This is usually associated with LexMark printers installed under Windows.  A possible fix is given at

  • Opening a web browser from an After Effects script

    Hi,
    This may be a stupid question, but is there any way to open a web browser with a URL from an AE script, other than explicity lanuching the browser app via a sys.callSystem() command?
    I'm asking because obviously scripts need to run on both Windows and MacOS, and the user's default/preferred browser isn't necessarily going to be IE or Safari. That and I'd need to find the file path of the browser anyway somehow.
    It's to display external help.
    Thanks,
    Christian

    system.callSystem() can launch a URL without specifying the specific app. This code user's default browser. The last line is the main deal, the other stuff keeps it universal for PC and MAC.
    //CHECKS FOR USER OS
    function osCheck(){
              var op = $.os;
              var match = op.indexOf("Windows");
              if(match != (-1)){
                        var userOS = "PC";// User is on PC
              }else{
                        var userOS = "MAC";// User is on MAC
              return userOS;
    // RUNS OS CHECK FUNCTION
    var userOSVer = osCheck();
    //DEFINES PC OR MAC TERMINAL SYNTAX
    if(userOSVer == "MAC"){
              var urlLaunchCode = "Open";//Mac based
    }else{
              var urlLaunchCode = "Start";//PC based
    //ONCLICK FUNCTION FOR YOUR URL BUTTON CONTROL
    //urlLaunchCode = Open or Start / " " = keeps a space character separator / "http://myurl.com" = Defines the actual URL path
    myURLButton.onClick = function(){system.callSystem(urlLaunchCode + " " + "http://forums.adobe.com/thread/993523?tstart=0")};
