PDF not opening in Adobe Reader using openWithDefaultApplication

Hello all,
I'm having a huge problem.
I've developed an application that opens pdf files from the desktop using openWithDefaultApplication().
It works great on my development PC which has Acrobat Pro.
The files open in Acrobat Pro flawlessly.
It DOES NOT work on other PCs that only have Adobe Reader.
Someone please help!!
Does anyone know why my application won't open pdf files using Adobe Reader?
All tested PCs are running Windows 7 and Air 4.0.
I've tried with both Adobe Reader X and XI.
Thank you in advance,
Mr12.

Update:
My stupidity.  Changed a path and still had the old folder on development computers so all appeared fine.  That was the issue.

  • Specific PDF not opening in Adobe Reader on Lumia ...

    I get an error message on a Lumia 625 when trying to open a downloaded pdf (88Mb) in Adobe Reader Vers 10.4.3.
    I have more than 3Gb free space. The file seems to be successfully downloaded & joins the list of all PDF documents in the Adobe Reader app. All other PDFs DO open OK. Just not this one.
    The message reads “The document path is not valid” & phone screen shows “Loading...” but fails to actually open anything
    What does this mean & how do I fix it? Thankyou in advance...

    Thankyou. The Central Question over this Lumia 625 inability to open a specific pdf (by Lonely Planet) remains:-I could uninstall this Adobe Reader app but think this is not the problem as this app does indeed open all other pdf's on my phone successfully, e.g. the Lonely Planet Invoice!
    On the other hand, this particular downloaded & installed pdf can be read on my home PC, my Macbook & my IpodTouch so I can't attribute fault to the filename.
    The basic Troubleshoot step of a "soft reset"  is NOT described in the Lumia 625 User Guide & I'm pessimistic this arbitrary step will bear fruit. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do, this Lumia model using the MIcrosoft OS has a system flaw that is unable to read the file (a file that other devices & another OS can read) & I will not waste time with ad hoc actions such as resets as this is not a hobby for me.
    The pdf in question (88Mb, Lumia free space is >3Gb)  is a travel guide I'd like to use on my next trip & this Lumia 625 is proving not worthy of coming with me. I am disappointed at the lack of "Customer Support" shown by the Nokia Company & I hope this is relayed as some "friendly feedback". Thank you for your own assistance, though.
    I invite correction if this assessment is mistaken.

  • How do I save/download a PDF file  as an actual PDF that opens in Adobe Reader?

    When I save/download a PDF from Google Chrome it always saves as an Internet Explorer file instead of a PDF that opens in Adobe Reader.
    Why is this?
    And how can I fix it?
    I really need PDF files for school and work.

    What means "an Internet Explorer file"; what is the file type / extension?
    Also, how do you "save/download" these files?

  • PDF does not open in Adobe Reader 7

    I am working on a  project where we create PDF documents with FOP. The generated PDFs open in  Version 6, 8 and 9 but NOT 7! We get an error
    "There was a problem  reading this document(114)" The document is partially rendered and disappears  when you scroll down etc.  I need to know is there a setting specific to Acrobat  7 that is causing this or is there something in the XSL mark-up that Acrobat 7  does not like. I am really under pressure for a fix on this one so any help or  assistance is greatly appreciated.
    I have also posted this to the acrobat forum apologies But Desperate!

    Apache Fop http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ takes an xml file and combines with an xsl stylesheet to create a PDF. (Although we are using a .net verion FONET). This is a problem with Adobe Reader 7.0. I cannot upload a file since the material is highly confidential (a criminal record!) I can confirm that this has been tested on several machines. The PDF is valid and can be opened in Adobe Reader versions 6, 8, 9 and Foxit but not Reader 7. I can only assume that there is something in the generated PDF that Reader 7 does not like and perhaps this is a bug since the PDF can be opened in earlier and later verions but not 7!

  • Form will not open with adobe reader when using chrome and mozilla

    The form opens fine in internet explorer, but when opened with chrome and mozilla it says that parts of the document could not be displayed and the 'submit form' and 'print' functions do not work? how do I get it so that the forms open with adobe reader as a pdf automatically instead of opening in another search engine tab?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Chrome and Firefox use their default PDF viewers instead of Adobe Acrobat / Reader and hence most PDFs will not be fully functional in those.
    For that you just need to change the settings :-

  • Attaching pdf files they do not open in adobe reader?

    I just downloaded Mozilla as browser due to the many issues with IE. Now when attaching PDF files or trying to read PDF files they show up as a Mozilla icon or do not open with Adobe Acrobat.

    Hi bboedeke,
    That is because Firefox is set as default program for opening .pdf files by Windows.
    There are two ways to change it.
    1,
    Right click on any pdf file --> choose "Open With" --> choose "Choose Default Program" --> now choose the application that you want to set as default for opening .pdf (in this case, Adobe reader.)
    2,
    Refer to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/change-default-programs

  • Why cannot I copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi all,
    I had a problem when I tried to copy some selected text on a pdf file([Linux.System.Programming(2nd,2013.5)].Robert.Love.文字版.pdf) , which was opened in Adobe Reader XI as below (non-English version):
    The error's text could be primarily translated as "An error occured when copied to clipboard. Internal Error." I'm not sure about the reason of this. I guess it is a problem or bug related to operating system or Adobe Reader XI. I had this problem when I used other versions of Adobe Reader though I cannot remember the exact number of versions now.
    The version of XI I'm using is 11.0.0.  The operating system is XP SP3.
    As I was writing this question, the problem disappeared and I cannot reproduce it again now.
    Could anyone help explain why the error message appearred or why the problem disappearred? If there is referrence provided, that would be finer. Thank you.

    The document has been protected.
    Even if it doesn't have a password, the original author has applied "plagiarism" prevention to it.
    There is a program from Wondershare, called PDF Password remover, that will remove such restrictions, but I'm not allowed to recommend it, only to point out it's existence.

  • Can I force the pdf to open in Adobe Reader?

    <Captivate 7>
    Hi,
    In my lesson, I have a link that opens a pdf.
    The pdf opens in the browser.
    Is there any way to force it to open in Adobe Reader?
    thanks!

    Hi there
    This is a question that is likely better suited for the forum supporting PDF reader. However, I seem to recall seeing something a year or four back that said this was a preference for each user. If that still holds true today, it would mean that you really have no control over it from the authoring end and machine A might open it and see it in the reader as you want, while machine B might open it and see it in the browser.
    Hopefully others will share more light on this. Until then, I'd recommend using Google to search for opening PDFs from browser links.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to paste into PDF form opened by Adobe Reader?

    Hi,
    I need to fill out and fax a PDF form online that I've opened with Adobe Reader 9. Typing in the information is straightforward enough, however I can't seem to be able to paste onto the form. Is there some feature that I need to change that will enable me to do this?
    I know the alternative is to print out the form and then fill it out but my preference is to do this online, if possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Do you mean "open in full screen mode"?
    If so there is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=JK2I24ZgmsvMr6BtCQNMOg
    The script is in buttons to show the separate functions, but you can combine the ones you want in the docReady event.
    Hope that helps,

  • All pdf's open with Adobe Reader 4

    I have Acrobat 7 installed and every time I open a pdf document from IE6 it opens with Reader 4, but if I open Adobe Acrobat 7 first, all pdf's open correctly.

    Adobe don't recommend having more than one Acrobat and/or Reader
    installed. This is the sort of thing that happens, but if you want
    both you have the solution: open the one you want to do the work,
    before starting.

  • PDF file is not opening in adobe reader

    Hi,
    When some users are trying to click on the pdf files then they are opening in browser rather than in adobe reader. I have checked almost all the settings that i could found for opening the files in client app. Few of them were-
    1. Web application option set to "strict".
    2. Document library option set to open in client application.
    3. Adobe reader version is 10.1.3
    I can make it work in Firefox using the pdf settings but i don't find any settings for IE 9 and above. Thanks in advance.

    Try these steps on the affected machines:
    Open Internet Explorer, and choose Tools > Manage Add-ons.
    Under Add-on Types, select Toolbars And Extensions.
    In the Show menu, select All Add-ons.
    <small style="margin-margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px;margin-padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-weight:inherit;font-style:italic;font-size:14px;font-family:inherit;">Select All Add-ons from the Show menu in the Manage Add-ons dialog box.</small><small
    style="margin-margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px;margin-padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-weight:inherit;font-style:italic;font-size:14px;font-family:inherit;"></small>
    In the list of add-ons, select Adobe PDF Reader.
    Note:
    If you do not see the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, try the other options on the menu. For example, on some systems, the add-on appears when you select Run Without Permission.
    Click the Enable or Disable button (it toggles depending on the status of the selected add-on):
    Enable sets the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to open PDFs in the browser.
    Disable turns off the add-on so it does not open PDFs in the browser.
    <small style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-weight:inherit;font-style:italic;font-size:14px;font-family:inherit;">Select Adobe PDF Reader, and click the Enable/Disable button.</small>
    Also check in Adobe Reader > Preferences > Internet, look for the Allow fast web view, this is normally checked by default.

  • Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

    On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
    She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
    The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
    Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
    Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
    Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
    But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC.  It is not on my PC.
    Thanks for your help.

    The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1.  It is named Adobe Reader XI.
    I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
    But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
    I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message.  As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there.   I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now.  Problem solved.
    Thanks for your help.

  • PDF is not opening after Adobe Reader's upgrade to version X

    Hello there!
    Please I'm having a trouble relating to Adobe Reader I hope you can help me
    Today I was asked to upgrade Adobe Reader to X version. Sure enough I did it
    The problem is that now when I try to open a pdf file I get the message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item", as it shows in the following picture:
    I'm using Windows Vista 32 bits. I've googled this issue and nothing of what I found was helpful
    I'm the Administrator of this machine and had pdf opening normally before this upgrade.
    Does anyone know what I can do to solve this problemm ?
    Thanks very much in advance
    Willian

    Hello!
    Thank you very much for your reply!
    Well, I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it's still not working at all
    But what I did that saved me from this issue was installing Adobe Reader version 8 (9 didn't work as well oO!)
    And now it's working kinda fine with 8 version (I still get the same error message, but it opens afterwards so that's fine lol)
    Well, thank you for trying to help me, I really apreciate it!
