Pdf "read" instead of "open"

When I right click on an adobe reader document I get on the menu "read" instead of "open" .
The document opens but when I try to open it through another application it doesnt open.
I need to open the pdf document in another application and it doesnt open, probaly because of this.
How can I solve this issue.
Thanks ,
Omer

I might not have understood your issue correct.
If i am correct, You can read pdf files only using a PDF reader like Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat or freeware PDF viewers.

  • E70 PDF Reader : Unable to open. File type not sup...

    This morning I have bought an E70, among others due to its highscreen resolution and the possibility to run a PDF reader on it.
    I have now tried ...
      - the pre-installed Adobe PDF Reader
      - the Adobe PDF Reader supplied with the PC Suite CD-ROM
      - the Adobe PDF Reader available on europe.nokia.com
    I am fascinated by a software which presents itself in the About box as '1.5', prompts during installation for '1.0.5' and has filenames '1_5_0'.
    Apart from minor variations in the SIS filenames they all share the same annoying feature: They refuse to display any of my PDF files but display a message 'Unable to open. File type not supported. 5. !' instead.
    It doesn't seem to be a problem of the PDF files, since a collegue of mine was able to open them on his E61 or E70 (forgot to ask).
    Any idea what this problem could be caused by?

    I am speechless -- but happy.
    The complaint about the file type only appears if you try to open a PDF stored in the phone memory but not if you try to open a PDF stored on the memory card.
    Problem solved.

  • Firefox tries to save PDF files instead of opening

    When I click on PDF links Firefox tries to save them instead of opening them. This is so even though in "Options" under "Applications" I have all Adobe files set to "Use Adobe Reader".

    You get the "Open/Save/Cancel" dialog, same as if you selected "Always Ask"?
    When Firefox no longer responds to changes in the Application preferences, you sometimes need to reset those preferences, which involves deleting a settings file. This article has the steps for that under the heading "Reset download actions for all file types":

  • Make ie7 save pdf link instead of open (acrobat8)

    hi, when you click a pdf link in ie7 there seems to be only 2 options: either open the pdf in browser window or open pdf in acrobat.
    how can you make the ie7 ask to save the pdf file instead of automatically opening it?

    That would be a feature of the browser or the HTML code used. I am not sure how to set that, or if it can be set. Acrobat will open if requested, but you are asking the browser to save rather than to open. Thus for what you want Acrobat or the plugin would not even be called.
    If you are looking for it in your own browser, the look for browser options. If you are trying to do it with HTML for other users, then you need to consult an HTML manual. You might be able to set a button to save with some JAVAscript. Keep in mind that if that is what you are looking for, most folks like to be asked before you start saving to their machine.

  • Safari 5.1 downloads .pdf's instead of opening them

    Yesterday I upgraded to Safari 5.1 for my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. Now when I click on a .pdf file on a page in Safari, the file downloads into my Downloads folder and two additional windows open up plus the .pdf (one is a blank page, the other is the contents of the Downloads folder). Now for each .pdf I open, I have to delete it from my Downloads folder into the trash rather than simply closing the .pdf when I'm finished with it. Is there a way to reset this to the way it used to be?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having the same issue as reported by DocSarvis. I have never been using Adobe Acrobat on my Mac's - as the Preview plug-in for Safari have work perfect for me, that is until Safari 5.1.
    Some sites, the PDF file is viewed perfectly wihtin Safari, as with earlier versions of Safari, but other including my Bank, somehow tricks Safari to download the file instead of just viewing it as before upgrading Safari.
    Have anyone succeeded twiking Safari to view all PDF files from any sites - or do I really need to install the mention plug-in from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ - in order for Safari to work as before?

  • Adobe pdf reader slow to open pdf's

    Hi
    Pdf's take ages to fully appear on my pc. 
    I'm using 10.1.3.23, and firefox 14.
    The pc is crazy fast on CPU and drive side, but doesn't have graphics drivers installed - not sure if that could be an issue?  Www connection also very fast.
    The blue bar when opening (or is it downloading?) goes across from left to right AOK, and at a fine speed - but when it gets to 100% then it sits for a minute or so doing nothing but displaying the full blue bar, then finally displays the pdf.
    Hopefully someone can help.
    Thanks!

    I just tried your link on an old Windows XP system using Firefox 14.0.1 and it loaded and displayed within less than 2 seconds.
    I will try tomorrow at home on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system.
    What web browser did you use?
    P.S. what did you mean in your original post "doesn't have graphics drivers installed"?  What is your display adapter, device driver version & date?  (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)

  • How can I force the browser to prompt user to open or save a pdf document instead of opening it in the browser window?

     

    Change the MIME type for pdf from application/pdf to something else, such as application/octet-stream.
    You can change MIME types through the administration server or by editing the mime.types configuration file. The Administrator's Guide at http://docs.iplanet.com has more information.

  • Open adobe reader file - read option - instead of open

      When I try to open a adobe reader file by right clicking it I get " read" instead of "open " file.
    please see attached file for an example of what I mean.
    In the attahed printed screen file it says open - this is OK.
    but in my other pc I have only "read" not open.
    your help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    Omer

    If I press Read the file opens OK with no problem.
    The problem is that if I try to open the same file from a third party program it does not open .
    The file looks like it does know what windows extension it is supposed to be.
    I will try to post a screen shot from the other PC
    thanks

  • Setting Adobe Reader 9 as default PDF reader for IE7

    Hi,
    I made the mistake of installing Foxit Reader on my new PC and am trying to stop Internet Explorer 7 from using it as the default pdf reader instead of Adobe Reader 9.
    By re-installing Adobe Reader 9 the problem with Windows Explorer using it was solved but Internet Explorer still keeps trying to open PDF files using Foxit Reader.
    When installing the Foxit Suite the installation was not 100% successfull on Windows Vista 64 bit with the Uninstall.exe file not being created and the program not being listed under add/remove programs.
    Does anyone know how to set Adobe Reader 9 as the default PDF reader used by Internet Explorer 7.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Goggs75

    Try repairing / reinstalling the latest version of Adobe 8 / 9 , if this doesn't solve your problem you need to edit the default adobe reader setting in the registry.
    For information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the documentation for Windows or contact Microsoft Technical Support.
    Go to Start > Run
    Type regedit and click OK.
    Browse to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.
    Make sure that the (Default) value is set for the path where Acrobat or Reader is installed.
    The default path for Reader is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe".
    The default path for Acrobat is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe".

  • Looking for a pdf reader which meets these requirements

    I am looking for a pdf reader which meets these requirements:
    1- Open pdf starting from last page opened during last session
    2- Be able to scroll between pages vertically (not horizontally like many current ones do). Vertical scroll should be a continuous smooth scroll without doing a sudden full page pull in. Should behave as if pdf is one single very long page.
    3- Should be able to change width of page and lock it. Page should not move sideways. Page width should be remembered so when same pdf is opened, it opens in that width.
    4- A fast scroll feature. Useful for pdf's with hundreds of pages.
    5- Nice to have feature: when opening the pdf reader, it automatically opens the last pdf file on the last page read.
    I have tried all the free pdf readers in the AppStore and none met all these requirements except for two which had these issues:
    1- iRead limitation: When screen is touched for more than a second, the page is frozen (locked) and page can't be scrolled. Scrolling is done when doing quick swipes only
    2- FileApp limitation: Does not remember last page opened. Does not remember last width set. Fast scroll doesn't work properly when width is other than default.

    iAnnotate additional points
    iAnnotate works with DropBox to download and upload edited PDFs. It does all the other same things, email, USB, and iTunes etc. but it also can download PDFs from any web site.
    You can transfer hundreds if not thousands of files at one whack using the AIJ Utility on your desktop.
    If you transfer a large number of files you have to plan not to use iAnnotate a while as it has an index function that indexes all the text into a master 'dictionary' so it can do searches for data and find PDFs for you. This indexing takes hours if you transfer hundreds of moderate size PDFs at one time.
    The biggest PDF I have feed it was a Gimp manual at close to a thousand pages.
    Remember the scratch pad ram is only 256 MB in the current iPad. You can cash iAnnotate if you do something really dumb with such a large file. Other applications also grab and hold onto chunks of this ram in the iPad so it is best to force a memory reset before doing anything that is going to max out that ram.
    iAnnotate allows you to have more than one PDF open at a time and you can tab between all the open PDFs in a blink just as you would in a tabbed web browser.
    If you zoom a page larger than the width of the screen it slides around. Less than the width of the screen the page locks in the size while scrolling which is smooth between pages.
    iAnnotate is a very well made product for dealing with PDFs. Annotations display in Goodreader and in the Mac OS Preview.

  • How do I specify Adobe Reader X as my default PDF reader in FireFox 4.0

    I have been using Nuance PDF Reader 6 as the PDF plug-in in FireFox, bus since installing FireFox 4, I have experienced issues with the Nuance reader. For example, when displaying a PDF file, the elevator does not work. If I can capture the URL of the PDF, I can open IE8, which defaults to Adobe Reader X as its PDF reader, but I cannot always capture the URL. I would like to switch to the Adobe Reader as my default PDF reader in FireFox 4.

    Well, you'd be wrong. Help->About tells me I am using FireFox 4.0. I do not see where I can get the name/version/serial of the PDF reader when I open it in Firefox. At least that's the case with the Nuance reader. Not sure about Adobe Reader X. Oh, and the Nuance reader can be VERY finicky about where you click on the elevator--particularly if the document has a lot of pages, which makes the elevator really tiny. I think some programmer didn't do his homework on how to apply the elevator code.

  • How do I get firefox to open a pdf in adobe instead of the new pdf reader?

    Before the recent update, 19.0, I would google something and see [PDF] next to a link. I click the middle mouse button to open it in a new tab. Firefox would download the file and open it with Adobe Reader. I like this.
    With the new update 19.0, the pdf file would be opened in the new tab. I have to go and down load it and then open it in Adobe. I don't like this.
    I go into preferences under applications. I look to see if I can change this. Next to Adobe Reader document, I choose Use Adobe Reader, but when I click on a [PDF] link, it still opens the file in Firefox and not Adobe.
    I want it back to the way it was.

    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

  • How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader instead of google?

    Firefox is unsucessfully using google to open pdf files.  How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader?
    Message was edited by: veeryTalonted

    "Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
    Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
    Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
    Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.
