What if I don't want to open a .pdf in Firefox? Our software users don't want to see a header that now appears on their .pdf documents since the update.

Our customers print .pdf invoices to send to patients. Since the Firefox 19 update, a header appears at the top of each page with the .pdf name and our URL. This also occurs for any reports that they print. Is there any way to get rid of this header?

hello, firefox 19 has introduced its own integrated pdf viewer - if you want to switch back to the plugin you've used before to view pdfs just go to firefox options > applications & scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

    Hi.
    Does this only open on that specific site?
    In any case, you may want to:
    - instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
    - reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
    - install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

  • SharePoint 2010 - Opening a PDF Document in the client

    Hello All,
    One I'm sure I got working, but seems to have gone backwards.. I have a document library with many PDF documents, where they open them in Adobe Reader X (Client), not the browser.
    I have all the normal bits, it's set to Permissive Browser Handling, etc.. Now, when I open my document on my Windows 7 machine, everything works as expected, it opens in the client, checks out/in, etc. When I open the same document on my Citrix desktop, it opens in the browser - and 'Edit Document' on the ribbon is greyed out.
    Both desktops have Adobe Reader X, but one works and the other doesn't! Does anyone have any ideas??
    Many thanks!

    The other option is to purchase OFFICE 2013, though I am not sure how well the import for WORD 2013 is as part of the MS engine.

  • How to open word&pdf document in the AplicationServer from Clients (Forms10

    Hi,

    Hi ,
    But it is not working. I think u mean the below code that I copied from the Webutil Document.
    However, when you change this code to use CLIENT_OLE2 (using search-and-replace)
    it doesn’t work.The following example is code which will convert to CLIENT_OLE2:
    DECLARE
    app CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
    docs CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
    doc CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
    selection CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
    args CLIENT_OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
    BEGIN
    -- create a new document
    app := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
    CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(app,'Visible',1);
    docs := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(app, 'Documents');
    doc := CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(docs, 'add');
    selection := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(app, 'Selection');

  • I get a partially transparent checkerboard pattern when I open some pdf documents in the Firefox browser..

    If the document is saved and reopened with a pdf reader, pattern is absent. How can I get rid of this annoyance ?

    Which viewer do you use to display the PDF file in Firefox?
    Is that the PDF viewer extension ([https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/]) or the Abode Reader plugin or another extension?

  • How do you permanently disable Tool Pane from showing up every time you open a pdf document in Adobe Reader DC 2015?

    Just like 9.9/10 people out here in the real world, I use Adobe Reader to read pdf files and never (ever) use the Tool Pane for anything.
    How do I permanently disable it from showing up, instead of having to close it *each & every time* I open a pdf document? The majority of people don't want thins thing covering up the page they are trying to read.

    Okay, seems I've stumbled upon an ugly workaround but it works for me. I'm using Windows 8.1. Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.

  • Adobe Reader Crashes while opening Secure PDF Documents

    Hi,
    I have Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Up until today, i was able to open secure PDF documents without any issue. Suddenly, it started to give me errors, saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and it needs to close. I have to tell Microsoft" and so on...
    I tried re-installing 8.1.0, secure documents opened a few times and then the same problem returned. I can open normal PDF documents but the problem is with the secure ones.
    Rebooting, re-installing again didn't help.
    What could be the issue and how to solve it? I have Trend Micro Antivirus s/w but i always had them all these days and everything was fine.
    Thanks
    anand

    Hi,
    Can someone help me on this please?
    I have tried removing Adobe Reader, re-install it but doesn't help. Secure documents do open sometimes but fail again. I have even tried removing Adobe Reader using MSI Cleanup Utility, no use.
    The problem seems to be in the imapdb.dll. An error report is generated by Windows XP but it is rather large to fit in here.
    I also Trend Micro Anti-Virus tool and it may have something to do with it is what i feel.
    Any help on how to solve this will be great.
    Thanks

  • Opening 2 PDF's with the same file name

    I have someone who has difficulty opening two PDF's with the same file name. They had a file open, then try to open another PDF document with the same file name as the original document, however it will not open (and no error displays) and reverts back to the "old" document. Any ideas?

    Are this diferent documents? What version of Adobe Reader?

  • Opening pdf document on the website

    How do I open a pdf document on the website (wordpress) with acrobat reading. I need on this site [url deleted by host]

    You need to have Adobe Reader installed to read pdf files. If that doesn't work, please describe the error message you get. But when posting please post your problem to the Adobe Reader forum. State the version of Reader, your OS, and your browser.

  • When I try to open Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it just freezes, it also freezes when opening a PDF document. What can be done to resolve this or troubleshoot this?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is having some issues. When just the base program opens it freezes before I can even do anything with preferences. The same thing happens when I open a PDF document from anywhere. I have cleared the %temp% directory and repair installed the program with no success in finding a resolution to this issue. I have removed Adobe AIR as a thread indicated that this program could be the cause of some issues. I even restarted the print spooler as that was mentioned in a different post on Adobe Support Forums.

    I would suggest rebooting (particularly if you have not) and log in as the administrator. Also, it sounds like you can open Acrobat, but then it locks up when you try to do the preferences. So in that case go to Help>Repair and apply that. Then repeat the process with Help>Updates to get current. See if that resolves the issues. Since you mentioned %temp%, I assume you are on a windows machine, but which one?
