Can't open pdf files from sites as shown in troubleshooting info but it works OK in IExplorer. Help, please

I can no longer open pdf files when clicking on a link such as: shown in troubleshooting info.
It used to work on earlier version when I had XP, now I'm Win7Pro and using version 5.0.1 The links work fine with Internet Explorer. Help, please.

Type in '''about:plugins''' into the location bar and press "Enter", at the the top is a line for plug-ins test pointing to [http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck/]
You should have Version: 10.1.0.534 for adobe acrobat but you have two older versions instead. If the one does not replace both you may have to disable the really old one, or remove through the control panel.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

Client can't open PDF files from websever

Hi all,
I am currently having problems with a client who is using Adobe Reader 6.0 with Internet Explorer 6. He says that he can open pdf files from anywhere on the web, however he cannot generate any from my server. He gets an error: "File cannot be opened". I have tried replicating the problem on a local machine with both versions of the aforementioned programs and I am able to generate the files. I have tried disabling and enabling "Open in browser". I have tried saving to my harddrive and opening straight from the pop-up. I am not sure what else to try. Any assistance is appreciated.

Edit: The error message he reported to me was incorrect. He is actually getting "file cannot be opened". I have edited my original post with this update. Any advice out there?

Can't open pdf files from web pages

I recently upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.1. Now I cannot open pdf files from email attachments. Advises to set Adobe Reader as default in folder options. When I try to do so, it appears to be OK, but still will not open files from emails.

Did you check the settings of your mail client for handling attachments?

What is your operating system? Browser? Reader version?
Have you tried to download these PDFs to your local disk first, then open them from there?
Finally, can you post links to the PDFs you have difficulties with?

Can't open pdf files from my hard drive

I have a problem. I'm using windows Vista Home Premium. When I'm trying to open pdf file saved in a folder on hard drive "open with" window appears. I click browse, then \Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRD32.exe, then ok and nothing happens. I have "open with window" with no changes. Just like I didn't choose any program to open pdf file. Pdf files should be associated to acrobat reader after instaling but they are not. I can't associate them manually. Everything works fine when I'm opening pdf files in IE7 or run AcroRD32.exe and then file->open. The same was with Reader 8.1.2. I uninstalled it and install 9.0.0 but it didn't help. No idea what to do. Please help.

Have a look at

It looks like you have to remove any existing associations before
trying to apply the correct ones.

I can´t open pdf-files from firefox.

When i try to open a pdf-file from firefox nothings happens.
The problem started when i downloaded Firefox version 8.0.1.
In safari it works.

Your PDF reader plug-in is quite old. Make sure to update your plug-ins (Adobe Reader, Java, Flash, etc.)<br /><br />

The latest Adobe Reader plug-in for Mac Intel is 10.1.1 and you are using version 7.0.9

How can i open pdf files from the web without saving them

Windows 7
Firefox 5
Adobe Reader 9
when i want to see a web based pdf file i have to save it before opening it instead of it just opening in a pdf window.

You can't.
Those PDFs are only accessible on the Mac.
They can not even be accessed by iOS.

Can not open PDF-files from the internet...

Hi,
I migrade my data to my new mac. But the old user xxx is now yyy. On the old imac I can download PDF-Files with the mozilla firefox. There was a copy from the pdf at the desktop!
Now with the new mac mini and the new user, I get an error, because the firefox (safari too) can not oper the folder Users/xxx/Desktop....
Where can I change this settings to yyy???
Please help...
Thanks!
ULLI

It sounds like you copied your firefox profile across from your other computer and just need to change the destination for downloaded files. Under Firefox->Preferences, look in the Main tab under downloads where it says "Save files to" and click "Choose" to change the destination directory. That ought to fix it.

Open PDF files from Safari after deleting Acrobat Reader

I can not open PDF files from Safari. I already threw to trash Acdobe Reader and internet plugs in, too. Can anybody help me

I know you said you threw away the internet plug-ins, but you should double-check this since that is a very common cause of the behavior you describe.
