Firefox Adobe Reader plugin hangs on opening PDFs

I'm using windows 7, firefox 24.0 and adobe reader 11.0.5.
Some don't load in the browser (the loading bar at the top simply stops at some point). Downloading the files and loading them in the standalone reader works fine.
I tried disabling Protected Mode (whatever that is) using the instructions here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/reader/using/WS4bebcd66a74275c3-7d28390112a81b3ebff-8000.html# WSdd9016941e183011761f79c12ac696b6aa-8000
But they don't work (only applies to Adobe Reader X apparently).

Downloaded Adobe Reader, now can't open PDFs in Safari

I was forced to download Adobe Reader to view and print something and then promptly deleted it. The app, the dmg, and the AdobePDFViewer.plugin from my library are now all gone. Nothing remains of them on my computer. Now, ever since that download, I get the screen below when I try to view a pdf in Safari.
I have searched all over the net, like I always do before bugging all of you, but still can't fix it.
1- I can't read it
2-What do I have to do to get pdfs to open in Safari like they did before I installed Reader?
Spec (Exact same as before Reader download):
Safari 6.1.1
OSX 10.8.5
Thank you!

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application 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.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
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 by pressing 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.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 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.

Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet. When
I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle. We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8. We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
Hope this helps!

Adobe Reader X won't open pdfs in IE8

I've just updated my installation of Adobe Reader X to the latest version, 10.01. Now it won't open web hosted pdfs in Internet Explorer (the previous version did). When I try and open a pdf from a web host I'm told that the file can't be open with the default program (and suggests that the file might be corrupt); I'm only given the option to save the file. Once saved locally on my harddrive Reader X opens the file without complaint.
Any ideas how to solve this? I'm running Internet Explorer 64bit under Windows 7 Home Pro. 64bit and Internet Explorer 8. An interesting note is that the pdfs do open correctly in IE8 32bit.

I have exactly the same problem. Running win 7 64 and IE8 64. Everything was working perfect in version 9. I have tried to repair and looking for solutions too.
Does Adobe Support read this or?
Regards.

Adobe Reader X - will not open PDFs

When I double click PDFs - they do not open. I have Win 7, 64-Bit. I can open my Reader X program (ver.10.1.3).
I also have Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed on this PC - which now will not open at all - it was working previously.
If I right click a PDF file in explorer, I can select 'Open with Adobe Reader X' and it will open the PDF.
But if a PDF is attached to an email - I cannot double click to open it, the only way is to save it & right click it - a real pain!
Anyone seen this issue and solved it?
Thanks for any help...!

OK - probloem now solved:
I uninstalled Reader X and Acrobat X Pro.
Rebooted PC,
Re-installed my Acrobat X Pro.
And now I ma back to normal - can click on PDFs & they open - hurray!!
Simple - I should have done this a couple of days ago. But with so many listings saying it didn't work for them I didn't go that route...
Glad I changed my mind & gave it a go now.

Why does Adobe Reader 9.5.0 open pdf created by Excel, but not with Reader X.

We have a number of pdf's that open 100% with Adobe Reader 9.5.0, but not with Reader X.
On Reader X, the message “A Number is out of range” is shown and the image is corrupted.
The image was created using “File SaveAs PDF” from Excel (Office 2007), with “Standard” optimization.
For interest, if the same “File SaveAs PDF” from Excel (Office 2007) is used, but with “Minimum Size” optimization set, then the resulting pdf opens perfectly with both Reader 9 & X.
Distressing that a new version does not work where previous version did.

HI
Sorry, my first time posting and I don’t seem to be able to attach the problem pdf to my posting.
Example of problem file attached. Opens in 9.5.0 but not X

Adobe Reader XI won't open PDF Files

I had Adobe Reader 9 and when I tried to open a PDF file or just the program it would open for a few secopnds and then the window closes. The program doesn't stay open. I installed Adobe Reader XI but got the same results. The program window opens for a few seconds and then closes before the PDF file is open. What should I do to?

Go to: C/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
Look for a file named eula.exe (or just eula)
Double click it
Accept the license agreement
Run Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader stops me from opening PDF files I want to read. I trashed Adobe Reader but I still can't get into some PDF's?

I can't understand when I try to open PDFs on a website, and even after trashing Adobe Reader, I am not allowed to read PDFs on web sites?

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 by pressing command-V, then press return.

Adobe Reader 9 IE 7 Opens PDF in same window

That's basically my problem. When using internet explorer 7, if I try to click on a PDF link the PDF is opened in the same window as the page I am on. I have the website link target set to blank, so I am not sure what the problem is.
When I click on a PDF link a new window pops open, I click 'Open' on the download prompt box, but then it goes back to the original window and opens on top of the original window.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files

My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.

It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103).

I just paid for 12 months to be able to open pdf files and I still cannot. How do I either get my money back or get this adobe reader to work to open pdf files?

i just paid for 12 months to be able to read pdf files and it is not working. how do i get my money back or get this problem fixed. i am so tired of trying to see pdf files.Adobe ExportPDF (read only)

I thought I ordered Adobe Reader. Had information from your company that I was charged $13.00 and some change, I think that was the amount, after I completed my credit card information. Can’t find it – guess it wasn’t an email. Anyway, I will order whatever I have to in order to be able to open the pdf files as I need to see them for my work with the government. What do I need to do? I need it today. And what is the cost for export pdf?
