Acrobat 7 shuts down imidiately when opening PDF-files on webpages

The company in which I am employed used Acrobat 7. A while ago 1 or 2 employees started having problems opening PDF-files from web sites. PDF-files on our server and local hard drive would open with no problem. Since then the problem has spreaded to almost all the employees.
When we click on a link which links to a PDF-file, Acrobat loads the file normally and then shuts down imidiately.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat. I have tried to upgrade to the newest sub-version of the Acrobat 7. I have tried to right-click, open in new window. Nothing helps.
Has anyone experienced this and solved it?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Update: In my company we have decided that we do not want PDF-files to open in Internet Explorer (because of reason related to out intranet) when clicking on a link to a PDF-file on the internet, so we have unchecked the setting "Show PDF in browser".
When I re-check the setting "Show PDF in browser" the above mentioned problem disappears. Why oh why?

  • Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from  Microsoft Project 2007

    Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.
    OS: Win XP Pro SP3
    Error Message(s): None
    Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

    I may have a resolution now...
    I clicked Tools -> Options -> View and turned off Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" on the advice of someone on a Microsoft Forum. I made three PDFs from three Microsoft Project files (that were having trouble previously) and was not able to get these PDFs to crash when zooming or changing pages. So far so good!

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files

    Hi,
    I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
    Setup
    Server OS:
    Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
    Other software:
    Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
    Symantec Antivirus 10.1
    Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
    The installation is clean (1 week old).
    Problem description:
    When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
    Work-arounds tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
    Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
    Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
    Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
    Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
    Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
    Turn DEP off
    Solution:
    Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
    It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
    Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
    Best regards from Denmark!

    Hi,
    I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
    The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
    This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
    However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
    Any further ideas at all?

    That choice is not made by Adobe, but your browser, of which you give no details. 64-bit browsers cannot open PDF files, as the Adobe Reader plugin is a 32-bit app.

  • Windows projector quits fullscreen when opening pdf file

    Hi, hopefully someone on here can help with a problem I'm having.
    I'm working in CS5, using AS2 on a Mac.
    I've built a presentation that requires the need to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader... as I have been building this on a Mac I simply used the geturl code which has been working a treat... today when I tested it on a PC it opened the file in a browser window!
    I'm not really a coder and have to rely on finding bits online that I can tweak... after many hours I have fixed the pdf opening problem by using the fscommand method, but unfortunately when the pdf file is closed, my presentation (that was running fullscreen) has minimised itself to a window 100% to the original stage size!
    Is there any fix for this?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I found a very simple solution here: http://www.northcode.com/blog.php/2008/03/16/Problem-with-Fullscreen-Flash-Projectors

  • Error when opening PDF files from SAP.

    Hi Gurus
    I have posted this question in ABAP Development section also. Please read the below text.
    We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
    This issue occurs few times a day in Windows Vista.
    This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
    Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
    SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
    Environment
    SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
    Windows Vista Enterprise
    Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
    SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
    Please suggest
    Thank you
    Pavan

    Now I got to capture the screenshot, however not able to attach/upload here but it says:
    'Reading Untagged Documents'
    lets say i tried to open 6 page document then it said:
    'This 6-page document is untagged and must be prepared for reading. While the document is being
    analyzed, your assistive technology will not be able to interact with this application. '
    then it asked for Reading options
    then a checkbox for to confirm 'Always use the settings from the Reading Preferences (Do not show this dialog again)
    then 'OK/START' and 'cancel' buttons
    It seems, this is the problem with Adobe w.r.t Vista.
    thanks

  • Acrobat Reader no longer works in FF4- Upgraded Adobe Acrobat too and still not opening pdf files in Firefox4.

    Can't open pdf files in FF4. Updated Adobe Acrobat to version X but still won't open. Worked before in FF3.6.

    What is the version of your Mac OS? Is Safari running in 64 bit (check from Safari->Get Info)? If yes, change it to 32-bit and try again.

  • Safari is closed when opening pdf. files

    My IMac can’t open pdf.files when I try to open them from Safari. I have installed Adobe Reader, but I only get a black page and after 30 seconds the Internet connection is cancelled. I get the following message: “Safari was unexpected closed. The problem could be Updating Plugin-modul.”
    (I can open pdf saved on my IMac.)

    Hi Mikael,
    It sounds like the Adobe PDF plugin is acting up.
    Remove this file to allow Safari to load the PDFs natively (it doesn't need a plugin to display PDFs):
    Hard drive > Library > Internet Plug-Ins > AdobePDFViewer.plugin

  • Setting preferences when opening pdf files in Safari

    Safari opens pdf files using Preview in Safari, which is fine. However, I would like the pdf files to be auto sized to the window, and displayed with continuous mode off. These are my preferences if I use the Preview program. Instead, pdf files are always opened in continuous mode, and not autosized.
    I can't seem to find a way to change the default settings for displaying pdf files in Safari. Any help?
    iMac G4 1 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I'm tired of having to do this for every pdf file I open in Safari.
    I understand. Preview via Safari is new in OS X Tiger. Apple has a history of building improvements/new features with each rendition of OS X.
    You may want to express your concerns and needs to Apple via their feedback page before the release of Leopard this coming spring.

  • Labview6.1 hangs on windows 98 when using adobe acrobat control for activex to open pdf file

    I downloaded the attached vi from this forum and it works perfectly in windows XP with the same version of labview(6.1) and adobe acrobat reader (6.0). However, it hangs immediately when i am just trying to open the vi on windows 98....
    I have also experimented with the MS browser activex control(activex container + object), it works on both windows XP and 98 for opening html files and on XP, it can open a link that leads to an PDF file display properly in the container window but it fails again in 98.
    Please help ...... thanks

  • Get wierd screen when opening PDF file in Acrobat/Reader 9.5.2

    Here's the screen I now get when trying to open a Captivate-generated PDF in either Acrobat or Reader 9.5.2. Any thoughts?

    Hi Ronpref,
    I created a Captivated PDF file of size ~15 MB (created with Adobe Captivate 5.5) and opened it with Acrobat 9.5.2. I did not see any issue opening this file, all the contents were seen properly. As soon as I launched this PDF, it asked me to install Adobe Flash. Once installed, this PDF file was opened successfully and I could move forward/back within that captivate movie.
    You can check if this same issue is present on other machine with Acrobat 9.5.2. If not, then there are chances that this issue is specific to your machine.
    Alternatively, as I suggested earlier, try using Reader XI.
    Thanks.
