11.0.06 opening PDFs issue

I use Windows 7 (IE 9) with Abode Reader 11.0.06, When I try to open PDF's from a Google search I get nothing but a black box in hte upper LH corner. Doing a "Save Target as" isn't helping either, WHat's wrong?

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
The Fix-it in that KB may not work on Windows 7; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script to achieve the same.

Issue with opening PDF file...

Hi All,
We are facing one issue in which when we try to open PDF file in the new window, it hangs up with a blank screen.
Above functionalitiy is implemented in WebDynPro.
On reviewing the logs we found few PDF related statements:
1. ComponentClassLoader@1ffe1ffe@service:com.adobe~PDFManipulation
2. //tc/WebDynproRuntime/630_VAL_REL/src/_webdynpro_clientserver/java/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/event/PDFValueHelpServiceEventHandler.java\#4
3. /j2ee/destinations/WebService/sap.com$2ftcwdpdfobject$2fcom.sap.tc.webdynpro.adsproxy.AdsProxy$2fConfigPort_Document.properties
Can anyone help us on this issue as it's very critical...
Thanks in Advance.

There are instances where Adobe 9 has problems opening in SAP Portal. This happens intermittently.
Try uninstalling the Adobe and downgrade to Adobe 8.

Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

Good Morning,
I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old. Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged. It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with. I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there. I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

Any known issues when programatically opening PDFs in Protected Mode on Windows 7?

Hi all,
We are a small development team that produces a Windows application that generates medical reports using a third party PDF library (PDF Creator Pilot) that are then automatically launched using the recommended Adobe Reader.
I've come across a seemingly random problem with opening PDFs when Protected Mode is enabled, and I'm finding it hard to reproduce this field complaint so am wondering if there was any known workaround or if anyone has had similar issues.
The problem occurs when we try to programatically open the PDF by a Win32 system call as follows, "ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "some_file.pdf", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);". In some cases we have complaints that nothing at all occurs when Adobe Reader should actually be launched, and sometimes the dialog as described in "http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/protected-mode-troubleshooting-reade r.html" appears. In all cases, if the users disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader the problem goes away. We've checked this troubleshooting guide and nothing in there seems to help our users so their problems persist.
It should be noted that this was observed in both Adobe Reader X and XI.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Chris.

Thanks Pat!
I've created the same question on the SDK forum so if anyone has any answers please reply there as it could also help other users.

Issues Opening PDFs with Reader 10.1.5

Since upgrade to Adobe Reader 10.1.5 our users have had problems opening PDF files. Most times it takes at least 5-6 attempts at trying to open the file and sometimes it just never opens. It doesn't matter if the PDF is in an email, local, on the network or on the Internet.
For now, I have put them back on 10.1.4 with no issues. Any ideas if this is a known issue with 10.1.5 and if there will be a patch released soon?
Windows 7
Thanks!

I am having a similar problem and was wondering if there is an update yet. I am running Windows 7 and Acrobat 9 Pro. I can open local PDFs in Acrobat. If I am in IE links for PDFs open in Acrobat, however, in Chrome PDFs don't open and I usually, eventually get this message:
Also, when I tried to open Reader, I got a few messages that went by quickly that couldn't capture, but one said something like "looking for updates." Then nothing opened. However, when I opened Task Manager, I saw several processes for AcroRd32.exe *32.
This has been going on for a couple of weeks and previously I have rebooted and this has sometimes fixed the problem. But this doesn't seem to work anymore. A couple of days ago I rebooted and was able to open Reader and run repair. It appear to fix the problem, but now it's back again and this time I am not even able to open Reader to run repair again.
If there is no response in the short term, I will uninstall and reinstall to see if it corrects. If that doesn't work I will see if I can install an earlier version.

Using Thunderbird/Firefox - since last upgrade, issues with HTML emails and opening PDF

Since last upgrade, it seems that I'm having 2 (maybe 3) problems:
1) emails have white/grey horizontal lines in the bottom half of the email's text or graphics
2) can't open pdf files - when I could without issue before upgrade
3) Adobe Reader - I've downloaded updates, but they won't install. (says not compatible with my computer, but running Mac OSX 10.6.8 (I even downloaded Opera brower to see if that would work, but there still seem to be Adobe issues)
Any thoughts?

I think you are correct, that was not a good idea.
Hopefully they all wound up in Home/Library/Fonts. You can safely delete everything in there, as OS X does not put anything in that folder. Fonts part of the OS are

Issue opening pdf's in IE8 XP

Hello,
I'm having trouble opening pdf's through an internet sharepoint. When left clicking them the page either refreshes or gives the error "Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website. It appears that the website continues to have a problem."
I can open the files by right click -> open in new window/tab, copying the file location and entering in the search bar, saving to my pc and opening. Any method works besides simply left clicking!
Any ideas would be appreciated
Lewis

I know what you mean but the only thing is left for you is to backup and the reset you iPad to see if the issue is present after that or not. When your iOS is normally installed it could only be the app that's not working without problems. Or maybe wait for the next iBooks update and see if it fixes the bug with the .pdf's. At least you now have an app with that you can read them.

I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9?

Can you open the files in Preview?

I am having issues opening PDF files in safari, I am running OSX 10.5.6

When I attempt to open any PDf files it will either go to choose viewer to open this type file? (None available in selections?) Or just goes to a black screen where you can only cancel to get out of it.
I was told that OSX automatically opens PDFs in Safari etc. If I right click the file / link and save linked files to download then I can open them. Is there anyway to have safari open them with the proper app automatically?
Thank you for all replies.
Dan

OK, now we're on the same page. I didn't realize it but I can't open pdfs either. I'm on a brand, new iMac and pdfs don't work for me anymore. It also doesn't work in Firefox. I'll need to do some checking for both of us.
What does work is when the cog wheel stops rotating you can save the pdf via the File->Save As menu in Safari.

Can not open PDF's in Safari

Hi All:
I know this has been asked and answered so many time that I am sorry to post again. However, I have read many of the prior posts, tired the fixes, and still the problem persists. All of a sudden, without any erxplanation I know of, PDF links do not open within Safari, as in the past, but instead revert to the Downloads and open in Preview.
MacBook Pro OS: 10.6.8
Safari: 5.1.7
I have two other accounts set up and they both open PDF links within Safari.
I have downloaded Adobe Reader again, checked my plugins. I can’t locate any Adobe plugins on either my home account or hard drive, restarted, etc.
If possible, can someone try and offer assistance. It's one of those things which is bugging me and have been struggling with for the past three hours.
thank you.

Hi Linc:
You and Carolyn seem to tbe the go to people for this issue.
When I pull up the plug0ins from the Help Menu, I get an entire page. I've tried copying it below.
What really confuses me is that it works fine in my other accounts and I can't determine what is different in this account.
thanks,
val

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
Regards,
Rave
