IE 8.0 forces Acrobat 8.1.3 to open in browser

I am running XP SP3 and recently upgraded from IE 6 to IE 8.0 .
I had checked off Internet->"Display PDF in Browser" in the Acrobat 8.1.3 Preferences. So with IE6, the PDF link opened in a new window.
With IE 8.0, even when this flag is checked off, it forces the PDF to open inside the browser window with Microsoft hijacking the window.
How do I override IE 8.0 and open in a new window?
Thanks to all

Hi to all - this is a serious question for me and its really hurtin ...
Any hint from the gurus here is highly appreciated.

Acrobat is changing hyperlinks when opening in browser

Hi everyone,
I have a pdf file containing a lot of hyperlinks. When certain links are clicked on, Acroabt opens up a browser window but the page won't load because some of the characters in the URL are being changed. For example the following url:
http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?rank=find&criteria=AND~PS~basic~exact:::AND~LA~basic ~exact:::AND~2010%2F4~basic~exact&target=OA&style=java&sdocid=PSR/PS20104/NAT/ATO/00001&re cStart=1&PiT=99991231235958&Archived=false&recnum=1&tot=3&pn=ALL:::ALL
...gets replaced with this:
http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?rank=find&criteria=AND%7EPS%7Ebasic%7Eexact:::AND%7E LA%7Ebasic%7Eexact:::AND%7E2010%2F4%7Ebasic%7Eexact&target=OA&style=java&sdocid=PSR/PS2010 4/NAT/ATO/00001&recStart=1&PiT=99991231235958&Archived=false&recnum=1&tot=3&pn=ALL:::ALL
It seems to be swapping out the tilde sign (~) with the following characters:
%7E
When I hover over the hyplink in Acroabt, the correct version appears. It only happens once it's clicked and the brower window is opened.
Does anyone know why this happens or whether there is a workaround?
Thanks in advance

Tilde is indeed arguably forbidden in a URL, and should be replaced by %7E. So Acrobat is doing the right thing. We can now often get away with the tilde, but they should be treated as exactly equivalent.
This is discussed in http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/tilde.html which can also be accessed as http://www.cs.tut.fi/%7Ejkorpela/tilde.html.
You are right that the Australian government web site isn't accepting this. The site appears to be faulty.

Forcing jpg to save instead of open in browser

I would like to have links to high res images and instead of
having the links open in the browser I would like them to launch
the in a save dialog. Is it possible to do this with the cfcontent
tag or another method?
TIA.

Nope! The save dialog box only comes up if the client machine
does not recognize the mime type being passed to it. JPG is a
recognizsed MIME type with a defined handler.
One cumbersome way around this is that you could put each of
your hi-res images into zip files.
Another is to display your hi-res image but constrain its
display size through HTML and have a brief explanation next to it
about using the right mouse button etc.

A script to force acrobat to play avi content with built in flash player instead of quicktime

Hello, is there a script that would force acrobat to play embedded avi content with the built in flash player instead of the quicktime player? first reason is that the built in quicktime player doesn't play the avi files anyway (for me at least); and second is that there are hundreds of sound clips in the pdf, and it is likely that i will have to revise the document and export again, so I can't manually change the properties of each sound clip to open with flash player. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

How to force acrobat to perform ocr?

Hi Folks,
Is there any way I can force acrobat to perform an OCR on pages which it says have "renderable text"? The problem is that, when I copy and paste from the document, I just get a bunch of gobbledegook out. You can see the problem document here: http://www.gofc-gold.uni-jena.de/redd/sourcebook/Sourcebook_Version_Nov_2009_cop15-1.pdf
Thanks!
Acrobat Professional 9.2.0
XP SP3

That there is no real solution to this, after many years is an indication that either:
Adobe does not care, or
Adobe does not get it.
I was about to suggest my employer upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat, but see no indication that Adobe has really fixed the problem.
PDFs can contain multiple layers. When there is bitmapped text, from a scan, and "renderable text" such as a footer containing a document identification number (there are many, many, millions of such pages used in the legal world every day) then for reasons only the programmers at Adobe can explain, Acrobat is incapable of running OCR on the bitmap and leaving the rendered text in its own layer.
This is not a difficult problem. Since Acrobat can deal with layers making up each page, it should be somewhat trivial to have the OCR function find the bitmapped layer and operate on that layer.
Instead Acrobat gives the LAME error message.
The "fix" of saving to TIFF and back is a pain-in-the-arse work-around. It even froze Acrobat when I tried to save to TIFF.
The "fix" of ignoring renderable text in the margin area and running OCR on the interior bitmap is also not acceptable.
Adobe, you once were a reputable company. You gave the world Postscript. You gave the world PDFs. Why can't you get the OCR function to work properly in Acrobat?

How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"?

How do I force Acrobat 11 Professional users to use the "save as" verses "save"? I want the users to type in a fillable form, but not save their edits on the original form. I want them to be able to save with a different file name.

You can't really force it, but you can encourage it... For example, you can set the file as read-only and add an instruction to do so before the file is saved using a script.

Acrobat 6 and7 unable to open Acrobat X docs

I have a lot of users that are still using Acrobat 6 that are being sent pdf files made with
Acrobat X. When they try to open them, it gives an error of 6 can't open the new
pdf file format and to upgrade.
Users with Acrobat 8 and 9 can open these files just fine.
My first question is why can't 6 or 7 open them?
2nd question is are we forced to upgrade or can compatibility be added to 6 and 7 to open these files?

My first question is why can't 6 or 7 open them?
May be that the generated PDF version is 1.7 or higher.
2nd question is are we forced to upgrade or can compatibility be added to 6 and 7 to open these files?
Acrobat X can save files compatible to Acrobat 6 and lower.

When I try to download a PDF from Adobe DC, I get an error message: "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC could not open 'nrneph.2015.33.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
I am using a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.5, Safari browser. Previous versions of Adobe Acrobat have worked fine for years.

What's the name of the file you are attempting to open? Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"? If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension. Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not open in Windows 8. It worked until 2 days ago, now it won't do anything. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck.

32 or 64 bit system? Have you updated Acrobat? Was anything else installed between when it worked and did not? When you say AA 9 will not open, does that mean when you have selected it in the programs list (OK, that is the metro interface if you have not installed the desktop options -- 3rd party)?

Acrobat/CS5.5 won't open from a non-Administrator account

I have an intermittent problem that occurs when I double-click a .pdf file from a non-Administrator account. Acrobat.exe shows up as an active process in Task Manager, but Acrobat never actually launches or opens the file. My administrator doesn't have this problem from his account on the same computer. This is an intermittent problem that occurs about 70% of the time I try to open a .pdf. I am also unable to launch Acrobat from the Start menu when I am experiencing the problem. I am running Windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I completed all of the recommendations and I am still having this problem. I'm going to completely uninstall all Adobe products and re-install again. Is there any recommended steps for a complete uninstall?

Acrobat 9.3.2 Pdf opening without data. Is this a bug ?

In previous versions till Acrobat 9.3.1, opening a fdf file containing data would open the corresponding pdf with data already populated.
However in 9.3.2, pdf opens without data. Below are steps to create sample Pdf and Fdf to reproduce the issue
1. Create a pdf file with 2 text fields and save the same.
2. Populate some data in them and generate the corresponding FDF by exporting the data from the menu Forms->Manage Form Data->Export Data.
2. Close the Pdf without saving.
3. Now double click the fdf created in step 2. Pdf opens without the data.
4. Repeat the step 3 in Acrobat 9.3.1, Pdf opens with data populated.
Let me know how to attach my sample Pdf and Fdf as attachments are not allowed in this mail.
Has anyone else also experienced the same issue and whether this is a bug in Acrobat 9.3.2?

Glad it helped; (for any nit-pickers out there I should have typed 8.2.2, sorry).
There are others with similar issues:-

Acrobat Pro 8.1.3 always opens in browser

As a result of Adobe recently automatically updating my Acrobat 8 Pro to version 8.1.3 it now always opens clicked PDF links in IE7 browser window, even though EDIT/PREFERENCES/INTERNET "Display PDF in browser" is UNTICKED in both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader8.
This is annoying as I absolutely hate PDFs opening in the browser.
I've tried it with all Adobe helper add-ons in IE7 either enabled or disabled. I've also tried switching Acrobat to "Display PDF in browser" and back again. It always opens in browser whatever I do.
I have not moved where Acrobat lives on the disk. Nor have I fiddled with the registry. It was working fine before this latest update.
Any ideas?

You should check your file associations (Start--> Control Panel--> Folder Options--> File types) to check what program should open .pdf files. It should be Adobe Acrobat.
Also, you should make sure that you DO NOT HAVE Acrobat and Acrobat Reader installed on the same system This situation has been know to cause all sorts of erratic behavior with Acrobat. Also, Adobe STRONGLY SUGGESTS that only one product, not both, be installed on one system.

Acrobat X Pro won't open. Even after a reinstall - what can I do?

My Acrobat X Pro won't open - even after a reinstall. What can I do?

Thanks Jeff - what's strange is that I've been prompted a few times since installation to register the software, so I don't know why it would be doing that if it's already registered.
When prompted, I would follow the links to the registration information page, and then work through the registration process, and then when prompted to enter the serial code it does not accept it. I've tried the serial code that came with the license, as well as the serial codes for the individual products (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), and none of those were accepted by the registration form. So "registering to an account which includes your companies information would be sufficient." does not seem to be working for me, unless there is more to "including the companies information" then I've seen in the sign up pages.
To be clear, I'm not fumbling around blindly here, I've done a lot to try and register the product myself and have yet to succeed.
My questions are these (and apologies if this is not directly related to the OT), 1) is there a way to confirm the product is registered, 2) if it is not registered, what specifically do I need to tell the purchasing people to do to make sure it is registered properly, and 3) after following the process here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html - does this fix the Acrobat issue for good, or will I have to repeat this process in another 30 days? Does lack of registration potentially affect other products in the Web and Design Creative Suite?
Thanks again for the assistance, I'm hoping to get enough information to be able to give our IT folks a clear resolution to the registration issue.
