Cannot open pdf files from websites with Adobe Acrobat X

Since purchasing and having my IT technician install Adobe Acrobat X, I can no longer open pdf documents that are hosted on websites.  We have many pdf documents on our business network and MS SharePoint sites.  Since the upgrade these will not open directly when selected in the MS Browser.  I can download the files to my computer and then open them.  I see the same issue with pdf documents hosted on "outside" websites.  I have set associations to pdf files to Adobe Acrobat 10  rather than the reader that is also installed on this machine but still have this same issue.
The error message window that opens in the browser says, "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.  If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)
I have tried with the Adobe application running and with it not running and there is no difference.
Is there something I can check or have my IT technician check to try and get this issue resolved?
I am runing Windows XP Professional with the latest service packs.
I am using Internet Explorer 8
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith,
Thanks for your mail.
Here's the link to the KB article that gives the details of how to configure the SharePoint server for Acrobat X. These changes enable PDF files opened directly from the SharePoint browser to be recognized as SharePoint files by Acrobat and this can be verified by going to the File menu in Acrobat. The File menu will have a menu item SharePoint Server.

  • 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.

    Thanks for your reply. The only way I can open the pdf file is to save it locally. I don't understand why can't I just click and open the pdf file without saving them

  • Problems opening PDF files from Websites

    I just had the contents of my (dying) ibook transferred onto my emac. The tech created a new user/desktop on the emac. Now, when I try to open PDF files from a website, I get a window saying this:
    "Downloading - users/myname/desktop/xxxxx.pdf could not be saved because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to a different location."
    Points to note: 1) The "xxxxx.pdf" part of the above message changes each time I try to open a pdf document, even the same one, and it does not show the real name of the document (e.g. CollegeApplication.pdf)
    2) this never happened on my laptop;
    3) the settings are set in Firefox to download pdf's to my desktop;
    4) I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat, which I already tried opening before downloading.
    Any ideas? Thank you!

    Will the new account save to a different location?
    Is the "myname" that appears in the error message that of the new account or of the old one?
    Following up on Frank's tip about file permissions, is it possible that the GID of the new user account conflicts with the existing? The existing admin user was likely GID = 501 on both Macs, and depending on how the laptop's data was transferred, the internal ownership of the transferred files still points to 502 rather than say 502.
    have you tried the old standby of running Disk Utility's Repair Permissions on the hard drive?

  • Unable to open PDF files from website

    hi friends,
    I am using iPad Air and iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to open PDF files from below site in safari,
    http://www.iar.com/Products/IAR-visualSTATE/User-guides/
    ftp://ftp.iar.se/WWWfiles/vs/QuickStartTutorial.pdf
    it shows error as "Safari can not open the page because it could not load any data".

    Safari seems to have trouble with FTP sites.  You may need another Browser to open these PDFs.  Opera seems to Work.

  • 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.

  • Cannot download PDF files from Internet with Safari.

    What must I do (after resetting Safari) to be able to coherently download PDF files from the Internet

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Cannot open PDF files on internet with Acrobat 7.0

    I use Acrobat 7.0 to make and read my PDF files.  Also have reader 9.0 installed.  Today internet explorer 9 stopped reading pdf files on the internet.  Tried selecting both Acrobat 7.0 and Reader 9.0 but neither work.  Only get the cannot open the file message.  Tried three different sites to try different PDF files.  Suggestions???

    Only for reading files there are some other (newer but small) viewing tools. remember that.
    Also I wouldn't use the in-browser function of any tool you use. It's not necessary.
    The file will be also downloaded to your machine, there is no on the fly reading or anything else you expect.
    so why will you waste screen size caused by the second menu bar.
    Set your browser to open .pdf files outside, so you get more control where files are saved and you get a better screen size.
    In my opinion in-browser-pdf is senseless, just a confusing gimmick.

  • Cannot open pdf created from website

    Hi, I am trialling Acrobat V9 Pro (on Win XP SP2, 1Gb RAM) and have tried to create a pdf from a multilayered website. It all appears to work fine (looks great in Acrobat), but when I try and open the resulting pdf in Acrobat Reader (v5) I get the old "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" message.
    I did a test with a single page web page conversion and that opened fine in Reader. And also with a different urled multilayered website, and that failed. How do I get this honey to work for me???
    Thanks in advance

    Being able to read a web site is problematic. The fact that you got the first one is good, but that does not mean Acrobat will work with all of the web variations. One way to get the web site (but not as interactive in a PDF form) is to print to the Adobe PDF printer from a browser that can read the site. If you need more on the issues or what works folks would need the URL of the web site to provide more info.
    For AR5, how did you transfer the PDF to AR5? Did you save the PDF from AA9 in AR5 compatible mode (likely the problem)? If not, you will need to use PDF Optimize (or Reduce File Size if you can find it in AA9) to save to be compatible with AR5. Most of the time, the newer PDFs will open, but may be missing things. It sounds like you have a case where compatibility has finally be come a viewing issue.

  • Upgraded to firefox version 5 for Mac OSX 10, from version 3.6.18, now cannot open.pdf files from links . Only get blank page.

    Worked okay with previous version of Firefox 3.6.18

    The following worked for me:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/684867
    "Problem: I had the same problem but with mac osx 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.6 sometimes prints and sometimes does not, but the preview was always blank and I could not save to pdf file.
    Solution: I downloaded Firefox 3.5.10, installed it on my desktop and opened it, tried print preview and it worked, quit Firefox 3.5.10 and ran 3.6.6 and voila! print preview is working fine and I can save to pdf fine.
    I guess running 3.5.10 fixes the profile in a certain way. I have no idea how that happened but it worked."

  • Firefox 8... Unable to create PDF files from screen using Adobe Acrobat X...what happened?

    I'm no longer able to use the Adobe feature to create PDF's from the Firefox screen.
    Unable to find any information on correcting this issue.
    I would not have upgraded to Firefox 8 if I knew the loss of the Adobe PDF feature would be effected.
    I reinstalled the standard Adobe Acrobat X with no results...
    What happened?

    Firefox Support - I even create a Firefox account just to agree with [email protected] I appreciate the word "Thank you for being awesome!" when I registered the account and I certainly do hope you all guys being awesome to. Please do something with all this Firefox update - add-on plugin no longer support thingy. Firefox still awesome, it's just that I can't do much wit it anymore like I used to do. Ohh yayy theres Safari..

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • With OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files with 11.0.04?

    using OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files from Xerox Docushare with recently downloaded PDF 11.0.04

    That crash is a known bug in Apple's display code.
    But it's the QuickDraw code, which Apple does not want to fix.
    There is nothing we can do about that OS bug, other than to suggest using a more recent version of Photoshop written to the Cocoa APIs.
