2 Problems - Can't open a PDF inside IE 8, can't open a link in a PDF

I am running Vista Business on a Lenovo ThinkCentre with dual core Intel processor, 2 GB RAM. I have 2 problems with Reader 9.3.0.
First it will not open a PDF inside IE 8. Instead it opens the PDF in a new Reader window. It does open a PDF inside Firefox. In Edit|Preferences|Internet the Display PDF in browser checkbox is checked. In IE 8 Tools|Manage Add-ons|Run without permission Adobe PDF Reader is Enabled.
The second problem is that I cannot open a link in a PDF file. When I place the cursor over an e-mail or internet link in a PDF file the little hand appears. However when I click on the link nothing at all happens.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix either of these problems?
Ira B.

In the replies I have been receiving, nobody has said which problem of the
two I wrote about they are experiencing. I assume that all are using Vista
(I use Vista business) since neither of these problems appear on my machine
that runs XP Pro.
I have managed to get around these problems and am happy to share my
experiences with all, but I advise not getting too excited since my solution
may not be exactly what others might want. Of the two problems, the one
where I was unable to open an e-mail or web link in Acrobat Reader was the
more serious for me. I edit a couple of newsletters that almost always
contain some of these links and I need to be able to test them to make sure
they are correct before I send out a newsletter.
I found out that if I used Foxit Reader in place of Acrobat Reader I was
able to open all links with no problems. For a while I had both readers
installed with both able to open PDFs in IE8 but only Foxit able to open
links in a PDF file. Then Foxit Reader began to exhibit the problem of PDFs
not opening in an IE8 browser window. Then the problem spread to Acrobat
reader. I have no idea as to the cause.
I tried removing and re-installing both Readers but was unable to rid myself
of the problem. I then contacted Foxit support for some assistance. Yes,
unlike Adobe, they actually try to help if you are having a problem with
Foxit Reader. Foxit support gave me a procedure to try but it did not work
at first. I finally found out that I had to install Foxit Reader with User
Access Control (UAC) shut off in Vista. If UAC was not shut off, Foxit's
addin for IE8 would not install properly. Then I re-enabled UAC and followed
the procedure Foxit support suggested which is:
1. Login your machine with admin account, right click on > FoxitReader.exe
2. Select "Properties"
3. Select "Compatibility" tab
4. Uncheck "Run this program as an administrator" under "Privilege Level"
5. Select "Show settings for all users"
6. Click on "Continue" if there is a prompt.
7. Uncheck "Run this program as an administrator" under "Privilege Level".
(This was already unchecked in my case.)
After this Foxit Reader opened PDF files in browser windows in both IE8 and
Firefox.
I think that this procedure might work for Acrobat Reader; at least I think
it might be worth a try. I don't want to try it myself because my computer
is working just fine right now with Foxit Reader and I don't want to take
the chance of screwing it up since it was so difficult for me to get to this
point.
If someone would like to try it, I suggest removing Acrobat Reader, then
disabling UAC and re-installing Acrobat Reader. Then enable UAC again. Then
follow the 7 steps above for AcroRd32.exe. I am hopeful, but by no means
certain, that then PDF files will open in an IE8 browser window. I would
appreciate it that, if anyone tries this, they would let me know their
results. I regret not being able to provide a more definitive solution.

  • How can I hyperlink from FM to an external document and make the links work in PDF-XChange Viewer?

    A couple of months ago some of you kindly taught me how to insert links to an external document in FrameMaker. The syntax that made all the difference, was the following:
    message openfile "H:/folder name/to/your/file.ext"
    I converted my FrameMaker file to PDF format using Acrobat Distiller, and everything worked like a charm when the users opened the resulting PDF document in Acrobat Reader.
    Much to my frustration, someone has now decided that the organisation should use PDF-XChange Viewer instead of Acrobat Reader, and my links don't work anymore... Nothing happens when you click on them. (This only applies to links to external documents. Links to e.g. websites work nicely.)
    Has anybody got any idea what I could do to make the links work in PDF-Xchange Viewer as well? Or am I trying to do the impossible now?
    Best regards

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

    Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?
    I can save the page, open in Adobe Reader and print. When in the browser the File - Print command does nothing. Printer screen does not open.
    Windows XP, all updates installed.

    Hi,
    One thing to slow it down: low ink. Please check ink cartridges and replace if required.

  • I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. In Acrobat 9 Pro

    I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. I can do this in Acrobat 9 Pro with the Document pull down menu. Did they take this away in Acrobat X?

    Whether it's maxed or not doesn't make any difference.
    The bottom part of the image/scroll bar is always under the Windows taskbar any time the URL is opened.
    It is always fixed by doing something, either switching to and back from another window, or turning on and off one or more toolbars.
    That shouldn't be necessary. The bottom part should be visible when the URL is opened.

  • I emailed a PDF form and when the receiver opens it, the document has errors on it. How do I fix this problem?

    I emailed a PDF file and when the receiver opened it there were errors in the file. Words on the document appeared different and weren't what they were supposed to be. How do I fix this problem?

    What did the errors say? Can you post a copy of the pdf so we can test out. The presets embed the font, but might be a unicode issue, or one of the few fonts which are copyrighted and do not allow embedding.
    What application was the pdf was created from, what settings were used, and if you can outline the fonts. What font or font(s) are the ones reflowing?

  • How do I make IE open PDF inside browser and not prompt?

    I am using IE 11, Adobe Reader 11.0.06.
    When I try to open a PDF inside a browser window (for example this one: http://helpx.adobe.com/dk/pdf/acrobat_reference.pdf) I am prompted to Open, Save or Save As. I want open the document directly without being prompted.
    How can I achieve that?

    I have now tried the following: Adobe Reader was completely uninstalled. I then downloaded and installed the Adobe Reader 11.0.00 package directly from the Adobe site and upgraded it to 11.0.06 afterwards.
    In this default configuration it works - PDF files on web pages open directly in Internet Explorer (Windows 7, IE 10).
    I then removed Reader and ran our deployed version (from SCCM). Then it failed to show PDF's in the browser, as before.
    So a setting in our TRANSFORMS file could be an issue. Does anyone know if you can set this open/do-not-open in browser inside the MST file using Adobe Reader Configuration Utility? Our installation CMD file looks like this:
    REM *** Install Reader 11 MUI base package
    msiexec /i [\\servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std\acroread.msi TRANSFORMS=\\[servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AcroRead.mst LANG_LIST=[language] /passive
    REM *** Install 11.0.06 MUI update
    msiexec /update \\[servername]\source$\Applications\AdobeReader11\AdbeRdrUpd11006_MUI.msp /passive

  • Open a PDF inside a PDF....

    Hi people.
    I'm making my portfolio in this program that i don't really much how to use, but everything it's ok except one thing....
    I was trying to make a menu where you can click and open another PDF file. Ok that works, but when I click, the other file opens and the  PDF with the portfolio close up, and i want to the option let you go back to the portfolio again. I want to know if is a way to open the second file in a different PDF window, or if it doesn't have a solution in which similar format can I let the second pages. Thank you

    The only way to put a PDF inside another PDF that I know of is to make a PDF Portfolio. This feature is available in Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X.
    You should ask about it in the Adobe Acrobat forums. Here's probably the most relevant one: Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    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,

  • With no Firefox window open, I can't launch a new one. Or click on an email link and launch a window. This started when I upgraded to 5. Now I downgraded to 4 again and problem persists

    I upgraded to Firefox 5, then noticed when a window was open I couldn't launch another one. Or launch into Firefox off an email link. Or open a new window if there was none open.
    So I downgraded back to 4. Problem persists.

    Uninstall the ones you know about, yes.
    As regards the others, it's difficult to say. All you can do is to disable them all via Safe Mode (checkmark "Disable all add-ons", then "Make changes and restart") and then re-enable them one by one checking each time until the problem recurs. Laborious I know, but the only sound way of doing it I'm afraid.
