Acrobat 9 "Display PDF in Browser" on IE7 crashes the browser

Hi,
Here's what is happening. My company purchased a few licenses for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9, and they were installed on some of the company laptops. These laptops are in a UAC controlled SOE environment, so the employees are restricted to do any updates/installations that requires rights. The Adobe Professional 9 was installed through SCCM advertisement, and the "Display PDF in Browser" option was enabled.We discovered that when we attempt to download any pdf files off the web, the browser would stop responding/hangs during the duration of the downloads (shown at the status bar of IE), and we can only kill off the process.
The current workaround is to disable the "Display PDF in Browser" and download the file directly. However, it came to some points where the pdf documents contains some dynamic links over https on the site is is residing. In which case, the pdf have to be open to view from the secured site for the dynamic link to works.
Previously with Adobe Reader 9, we face no such issue. Only after we installed Acrobat Professional 9, this issue surfaces.
We have tried uninstalling the Reader before installing the Acrobat to prevent any chances of conflicts, problem persisted.
Here are the versions of the software involved.
Adobe Reader v9.3
Adobe Acrobat Professional v9.0.0
Internet Explorer v7.0.6002.18005
I have looked through the forums for similar cases, unless I have missed the keywords, I do not see any similar cases.
Has anyone encountered similar issues? Would appreciate if you could share on what was done to circumvent this. Thank you!
Jiang.

Hi broger_1,
Thanks for your reply.
In regards to your query:
Is the problem seen with both Reader and Acrobat?
No, this is only seen when Acrobat is install. It is working fine when only Reader is installed.
What is your definition of a dynamic link? Post example.
At the moment, I cannot find a online example for reference. I will try to describe by example.
Let's say if I goes to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_1.pdf, and the "Display PDF in Browser" was already enabled.
The content of the broc_1.pdf contains a hyperlink that points to "../broc_2.html"
Our issue now is the we can only download the pdf file to a folder, say c:/pdfs/broc_1.pdf, so when we tried to access the dynamic link, it will tries to locate c:/pdfs/broc_2.html, which is non-existence. And direct access to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_2.html would not work for some reason (possibily session restriction, or something else).
What are your security settings? (is Enhanced Security enabled?)
This setting is currently disabled in the Acrobat Pro 9 preference. Should this stays as disabled?
This only happens when attempting to "download & display" any pdf files from the net, displaying of local pdf that is already downloaded is fine.

  • Pdf converter button on top of the browser disappeared.

    I have adobe acrobat 9.  I had a Pdf converter button on top og the browser that I used to convert web pages to pdf documents.  This button disappeared last week.  Could it be restored?  I tried reinstalling the software and tried internet options to make sure third party extensions were checked.

  • Is there a plug-in yet that will allow pdf forms to be opened in the browser and submitted?

    Is there a plug-in yet for Firefox that will allow pdf forms to be opened in the browser (instead of downloaded), and then submitted to an e-mail address using the submit button on the form? I finally installed the plug-in that allows a pdf to open in Firefox and not downloaded, but the Submit button doesn't work.

    I downloaded Firefox 7 and when I click on the browser icon nothing happens, the browser does not load on desktop.I had no problems with Firefox 4 I had been using for several years and liked very much

    Most people have no problems with installing firefox as an upgrade, but there are quite a few things that can cause problems. Please have a look at the articles
    * [[software Update Failed]] <-- clickable link (blue ) --
    * [[firefox will not start]]
    * [[firefox does not work]]
    Post back after you read them and say what you tried. Have you ensured you used an admin account, possibly needing to check the UAC setting, and that security software is not blocking the changes. You should certainly try starting in firefox's [[safe mode]] either from a menu/icon option or by holding the shift key as you attempt to run firefox.
    Is the browser icon you see on the desktop, and a firefox icon ?

  • How can I close an Open PDF form without crashing the browser

    Hi
    We have build a webdynpro application in Java. In this application, we are make using of the Interactive form to bring up  a PDF form that the users can print. Our issue is that no matter what approach we take there is no gracefull way to exit once the PDF is displayed.
    Here are the approaches we took.
    1) Embed the PDF in the existing Window. The form comes up correctly with all fields, but there is no way to get out from it. A browser back doesnt help, nor is there a default close button in the PDF window.
    2) Bring up the PDF on a separate window.The PDF does come up fine on this new window. We were hoping to use the window.destroyInstanece() method on this new window to both close the window and gracefully exit the PDF form. This too dint quite work out and resulted in a browser crash.
    I am sure others must have faced a similar problem. Are there any suggestions on how we can handle this. I found a few other posts with similar issues but no clear answers.
    We are using Adobe 7.0.9 Reader on the client end.
    Regards
    Aju Paul

    I have been working with Aju on this issue. We are still experiencing the issue.
    We have tried using the destroyWindow() method and using a fireplug to redirect the application. When we have an Interactive form embedded on one of the views in the window, the application will cause a browser crash when we try to destroy popup window or redirect the applicaiton.
    If we remove the Interactive form from the view, we can destroy the window and we can redirect the application. The problem only  occurs when the Interactive form is present.
    We have recently upgraded our server to SP10. I have also reloaded the ACF on my pc. Neither of the steps resolved the issue. What else can we look at to see what may be causing the issue.
    Thanks.....Tommy Knight

  • PDF's in Acrobat Reader X will not open when using the browser, Internet explorer opertes all ok? Mozella 4 is the default browser! Windows XP Home ed with all latest updates!

    When using the Mozella Firefox 4 browser and the NEW version Adobe Reader X, PDF's online will not ever open. After 1-3 minuites, I eventually get a message the Adobe reader is running, but need to close and try again! I get same results when trying again.
    Internet Explorer operates and opens the online PDF's all ok and the Adobe Reader X seems to operate all else ok!
    I think, but not sure, that this issue appeared when the Adobe Reader updated from the older version 9 or so to the NEW Adobe Reader X version about 1 or 2 weeks ago, but not sure. I just remember that Mozella always worked ok previously to the Adobe Reader X version for opening online PDF's last month, etc.
    Note that I said that Internet Explorer browser operates ok Using the New automatically upgraded Adobe Reader X for viewing PDF"S! (adobe notified me that the new version 10 (X) was available for updating, etc) I also just discovered that google chrome browser opens the online PDF's ok!
    I have not trying re-storing the computer to the previous month, etc, since the issue seems to be with Mozella not liking the Adobe Reader X version and Internet Explored browser operating ok!
    Any ideas????

    I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

    And For one page, we compare the 'View Source(HTML)'

    created in my client place.
    is the problem in browser or server (Weblogic 5.1)?

  • Display a BLOB data from Oracle in the browser

    Hello,
    I am trying to display Oracle BLOB(ie ORDSYS.ORDVIR) directly in the browser using ASP.
    It is working in SQL Server, but Oracle seems to be giving a problem...
    The code written in ASP is as follows :
    <%
    'Clear out the existing HTTP header Response.Expires = 0
    Response.Buffer = TRUE
    Response.Clear
    ' Change the HTTP header to reflect that an image is being passed.
    Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"
    Set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    cn.Open "UID=cbir;PWD=cbir;DSN=trying"
    ' Here thumbnaildata is of type ORDSYS.ORDVIR
    SQLQuery = "SELECT thumbnaildata from image where imagekey='1.JPG'"
    set rsBlob = cn.Execute(SQLQuery)
    Response.BinaryWrite rsBlob(0)
    rsBlob.Close
    Set rsBlob = Nothing
    Response.End
    %>
    The the following is displayed in the browser
    after the asp is executed...
    <font face="Arial" size=2>
    <p>Provider</font> <font face="Arial" size=2>error '80004005'</font>
    <p>
    <font face="Arial" size=2>Unspecified error</font>
    <p>
    <font face="Arial" size=2>/ASPSamp/oracbir/sujal/imgtrialora.asp</font><font face="Arial" size=2>, line 38</font>
    NB:- Line 38 is where the query is executed. i.e set rsBlob = cn.Execute(SQLQuery)
    Could you tell me what I did wrong? I am using Oracle 8.1.6 on Win NT..
    Does field of type ORDSYS.ORDVIR have extra info stored along with the image which needs to be removed before displaying the image..
    null

    Since ODBC does not understand Oracle object types, you must select the BLOB locater, not the VIR Object.
    One you've done that you need to loop over the data in the BLOB, pushing it out the Binary response object.
    You may also want to select the mimetype from the VIR object and use that value to set the content type of the response object.
    Here's a piece of code that does the job:
    strSQL = "SELECT t.IMAGE_THUMB.getMimetype(), t.IMAGE_THUMB.getContentLength(), t.IMAGE_THUMB.getContent() FROM IMPB.IMAGE_ITEMS t WHERE IMAGE_ID = 1"
    set rsOrdMediaSource = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
    rsOrdMediaSource.ActiveConnection = "dsn=impb_imperf;uid=impb;pwd=impb;"
    rsOrdMediaSource.Source = strSQL
    rsOrdMediaSource.CursorType = 0
    rsOrdMediaSource.CursorLocation = 2
    rsOrdMediaSource.LockType = 1
    rsOrdMediaSource.MaxRecords = 1
    rsOrdMediaSource.Open()
    If rsOrdMediaSource.EOF Then
    Response.Status = "404 Not Found"
    Response.End
    End If
    Dim blob
    Dim bytesToGo
    bytesToGo = rsOrdMediaSource.Fields.Item(1).value
    Dim vBuffer
    set blob = rsOrdMediaSource.Fields.Item(2)
    If Response.Buffer Then Response.Clear
    Response.Buffer = false
    Response.ContentType=rsOrdMediaSource.Fields.Item(0).value
    While bytesToGo > 0
    vBuffer = blob.getChunk(CLng(32768))
    Response.BinaryWrite(vBuffer)
    bytesToGo = bytesToGo - 32768
    Wend
    Reponse.End
    null

  • How to display PDF in slideshow, without returning to the first page or stall/halt on the last page?

    Hi,
    I want to display PDF's with multiple pages as a slideshow.
    This is possible with a default Adobe Reader and have this working for ONE pdf file.
    But I want do display multiple PDF's as a slideshow, the one after the other.
    In Adobe Reader you can define to return to the first page again or it automatically 'stalls/halts' at the last page.
    But I want Adobe Reader to close after the last page is displayed so it continues (in a simple DOS-script) with a second, third, etc. PDF to be displayed.
    Is this possible?
    What kind of simple DOS-script kan be used or an other reader/utility?
    Thanks in advance!
    Gunther

    Hi Bernd,
    I was looking for ways to script this kind of solution.
    But do not have good results.  There are tools to combine pdf's into one large pdf - but mostly to be selected by hand.
    We need it in a scriptable way to automate.
    Additionally, we want to be able to combine different types of documents to rotate as a slide show (so not only PDF's but also pictures or other output).
    If you or someone else have such scripts, it will be highly appreciated.
    Regards

  • How can I download pdf/epub/...-files in the browser?

    Hi!
    I use owncloud to store ebooks, music etc and I often download ebooks from gutenberg.org.
    With Android I used to save them on my sdcard in case I use a train and the internet connection fails or being on a plane or the like.
    With FFOS 1.3 this is not possible. The browser only offers to "open link in new tab", but not to download the files.
    I see the pretty obvious workaround to download it to a desktop computer and via usb to ext-sdcard.
    But I think there should be a way to do this more 'naturally'.
    Kind regards
    Stefan

    I tried to reproduce the problem with a ZTE Open and FFOS 2.0.
    On Gutenberg.org, I tried the "download ebup" link. It redirected me to another page, but could not load it. In the meanwhile, I was notified the download had started, but it never completed. Then, checking "Settings > Downloads", I found out that the download was actually stuck on 0kb. By using the stop and retry functions in the Downloads panel, though, the download actually started and successfully completed.
    In the end I managed to download the file, but things clearly did not work as they should.
