Windows vista, internet explorer 8 and adobe reader 9

I have windows vista, internet explorer 8 and adobe reader 9.  When i open pdf files from a website i cannot save the document.  I don't get an error message, it just does not open.

Have you tried capturing these application in separate packages?  I have been successful in capturing IE8 in one package and Adobe Reader XI in another package and then using the OptionalAppLinks option in the IE8 package to point to the Adobe Reader dat file.  Just make sure that both packages work outside of the applinking.  Also, you can try to install Adobe to the native machine and see if the embedded pdfs work in the virtual IE package. 
These are just the troubleshooting steps that I would take to narrow down what is causing the issue you are seeing.

  • QuickTime 7.7.1, Windows Vista, Internet Explorer, and .mpg files

    After updating QuickTime to 7.7.1, QuickTime runs whenever I click on a .mpg file in Internet Explorer, under Windows Vista.
    The last time this happened I had to go into QuickTime>Edit>Preferences>QuickTime Preferences>Browser>Mime Settings and uncheck the MIME association to .mpg files.
    This time with QuickTime 7.7.1, clicking on MIME Settings just opens up Windows Default Programs association window, not the Quicktime MIME associations.  .mpg is unchecked, and Windows Media Player is associated with .mpg.  All file types that are checked for QuickTime are grayed out, and cannot be unchecked.
    Any ideas?

    Solution found:
    After making sure Windows Media Player is the default player in Windows Default Programs for file types .mp3 and .mpg, open Internet Explorer, click on Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Set Programs>Set program access and computer defaults>Custom>Choose a default media player: Then click on Windows Media Player radio button.
    In Customs, you have to either click on the word Customs or click on the down arrows to the far right of Customs to expand the choices, and find "Choose a default media player:"
    You will also have to be logged in as Administrator or have the Admin password to reset this choice.

  • When using Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader xi, I cannot find how to keep the Page thumbnails from hiding. We want them open.  Please help!

    In Internet Explorer, when opening a PDF using the IE addon Adobe Reader XI, the Page Thumbnail toolbar is shrunk to the left (hidden).  Our users access the thumbnails constantly and we need this to remain open by default but I cannot find anywhere that this option is set.  I would expect there to be a pin icon to click to keep it open.  In the stand alone product Adobe Reader, we found that you can click "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." in Documents prefs but this doesn't work for new documents (only previously opened docs) AND doesn't work in Internet Explorer at all.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That would be something you could set at document level in document properties but would require Acrobat to make permanent.

  • PDF's not loading in browser - Internet Explorer 9, Adobe Reader X, Win 7 x64

    I have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and have a site that uses forms that need to be filled and submitted.  The problem is that when I open the form, they are opening in a seperate Window.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader
    I've done 'detect' and repair several times.
    I have checked and unchecked "Display PDF in browser" under EDIT -> PREFERENCES -> Internet
    What I CAN tell is that when I go into Internet Explorer and look at the addons I do NOT see any of the acrobat add-ons that I see on my other computers (that work).
    I've looked in the program files/common files/adobe/acrobat/active x folder and all the files are there but I don't see a way to make Internet Explorer force loading those or getting them in there manually.
    Any help would be appreciated, I'm at my wits end!

    Thank you for this.
    One you said this I checked and it was running IE 64bit.
    For some reason IE*64 was the default browser (which shouldn't happen).  Since IE*32 wouldn't allow me to set it as default (greyed out) I installed Chrome, set it as default browser then fired IE*32 back up, set it as default and vioila it's fixed.
    I'm embarrased I didn't think of that first....
    Thank you!

  • Windows Vista Home Version and Adobe Flash Player 10.

    I use Windows Vista Home Version and I am finding it difficult to download Adobe Flash Player 10.
    It appears to have been downloaded but on examining Control Panel, I discovered that its content is empty (no size is aportioned to it).
    Most importantly, I am unable to play videos that require adobe flash player.

    I understand Vista is a 32 bit.
    IE 8 is what I have but I would consider IE 9 if that would be necessary.
    Just a bit more update. I just tried to download Adobe FP 10 again with the following results, again:
    The Adobe Download Manager windows shows:
    FP 10.3 Status as 100% "Installation Pending".
    FP 10.2 Status as 100% " Instatlling Application"
    and that will go one forever but never really actually installs anything and just keeps cycling through the "Add to Download" e.g. "Fanbase", "Times Reader"
    and "Adobe Air" (none of which I want added to the download), and the download and installation shows as 100%.
    Go figure!

  • Windows Search 4.0 and Adobe Reader 9.2

    I've a small search utility that uses Windows Search 4.0 as the search engine. My utility queries Windows Search and retrieves the results. I've a few PDF files as well to search. I'm able to search a few of these PDFs using the my utility and some of the PDFs are never returned in the search results, although, I copy a phrase in that PDF and search. Search fails when I try from Windows Search interface as well.
    As I understand, the IFilter is bundled with the Adobe Reader package from AR 8.0. So, I've not installed it separately. The strange thing some PDFs are searchable and some or not. Am not sure as what could be the issue here . Anyone else have faced this issue? Am not sure what to look for to resolve this issue?

    I have just encountered the same problem. I am using the HTC Titan phone by Sprint with WM6 and Adobe Reader LE 2.0. I am only interested in internal document links (jumps to other pages). I tried two PDFs which work fine on the PC under Reader 7.0 but don't work on the HTC. I even tried setting the conversion option on ActiveSync to OFF.
    At this time, even Foxit Reader doesn't support internal links. I wonder if LE worked fine under WM5?
    Please help me resolve this one. Thank you,
    Bob

  • Unable to open pdf files using Internet Explorer and Adobe 9.1

    We are unable to open any/all pdf files in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 using Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows XP SP2.
    The error message is that IE has a problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
    Clicking "OK" closes IE.
    We did not have any issue with Adobe Reader 8.1.
    What we did to date:
    1. Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1
    2. Run Windows Clean Utility to remove any remnant of Adobe Reader 8
    3. Re-install Adobe Reader 9.1
    Any other suggestions?
    Need to have this upgrade.

    I'm having a similar issue. Prior to upgrading to Acrobat 9.1 I was able to view PDFs from IE 6. No longer. Instead I get a message: "Error opening document. File cannot be found."
    Help?

  • Can't save PDF from Internet Explorer embedded Adobe Reader

    One of our clients use an application to digitally distribute and
    approve incoming invoices.  The scanned invoices (PDF's) are
    visualised in the webbased application by using the embedded Adober Reader 9.0 in Internet Explorer 8.0.
    While there is no problem printing PDF's, on some pc's it is impossible to save a PDF.  When you click on the save icon, nothing happens.
    This issue has been resolved on some pc's by reinstalling Adobe Reader, but not on others.
    Does anyone know what causes this problem and how it can be resolved?
    Thanks in advance!
    Thomas

    Hi Guys,
    I have Win 7 64bit as well, and I have the same problem.
    A pain when you're doing research and opening lots of browser windows
    with PDFs in em.
    What I've found is that this is an Internet explorer issue.
    Everything works perfectly fine in Firefox.
    You can save, print, the works, with no problems.
    Looks like Microsoft have to do something with IE.

  • Issues between the Internet Explorer and Adobe acrobat

    Hello,
    Every time I click on a link in Internet Explorer, it goes and opens Adobe Acrobat 6 and this displays this error message:
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader That is Running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again.
    How do I resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for the support.

    Hey Goyo1973,
    If the option is unchecked, check it and then try opening the PDF in browser. It should work.
    Cheers

  • Internet Explorer and Adobe home page.

    I'm having a problem with the flash player in Internet
    Explorer. I've removed all older versions and installed version 9
    (ActiveX).
    If I open Adobe's Home Page all I see in the box where the
    animations supposed to be is a black box.
    If I directly goto this URL: "
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/swf/homepage/fma_shell/FMA.swf"
    the animation displays correctly.

    more information on this problem. It seems to be affecting
    several computers on our 2003 network. I think it's something to do
    with the image that was used. I've tried removing everything that's
    flash related from the registry and using the removal tool to
    uninstall the flash player with no luck. It still shows a black box
    where the animation should be. It works great in firefox. Does
    anyone have any idea what I can do to find out where the problem
    is?

  • How to have PDF open in Internet Explorer 7 (Adobe reader version XI)

    Hello,
    we would like to know how to open PDF in internet browser. Our browser version is IE7, Adobe Reader version is XI.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    XI Pro contains all of the capabilities of Reader and a lot more. If you can't see the PDF, you may have the view in browser unchecked in Acrobat, or more likely your Acrobat is not updated to be compatible with the version of IE you are using (You did not mention). There may also be an issue with the OS you are running that could vary between computers (also not mentioned). First thing to do is to go to Help>Updates and be sure you are running 11.0.09. Then check the preferences (check the Internet tab).

  • How to invoke Internet Explorer and Adobe using OLE2

    Hi all
    We have to call IE and adobe using OLE2.
    how to do that ?
    Is it like how we do for word or excel. We tried that way but not working.
    e.g:
    app := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('IExplore.Application');
    please help us.
    Thnx and regards
    Sriram

    The commands you pass are specific to the OLE service, so its not really a Forms question but a question for the OLE provider.
    Having said that - the questions I would ask is what are you trying to do? If you want to launch IE and display a PDF document you can do that with web.show_document. OLE will only work on the server and so the clients would not see IE if you were using OLE.
