Acrobat Reader 9.1.2 opens endless number of browser windows

Hi all,
after the update to Acrobat Reader 9.1.2 opening .fdf ends in an endless number of browser windows until Acrobat Reader gets killed or the browser crashes.
Testet with FF 3 and IE 6 on WinXP SP 3. Preference Setting "PDF in Browser anzeigen" (open pdf in browser) has no effect.
Any help or idea is welcome as this is causing serious problems for us.
Regards,
Andreas

Hello again, Andreas:
I believe I have found the resolution to your browser plugin issue but I'm sure it will require administrative privledges and will require modifying the Windows registry (not something for the faint of heart). If you are interested, check out the knowledgebase article here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328233.html
Something you may be able to try that doesn't require admin privledges:
1. Open Reader
2. Click Edit > Preferences
3. Click Internet on the left menu
4. Uncheck "Allow fast web view"
Crosses fingers for you!

  • Cannot get Acrobat Reader or Pro to open PDF IN FF browser

    I have a Win7, 64 bit laptop. I have Acrobat Pro X, and Acrobat Reader 11.
    I cannot get FF to open a pdf using either of these readers INSIDE the browser. I do not like the internal PDF viewer and I was trying to get Acrobat to render the PDF in the browser. However, whenever I choose acrobat (either one) in options, it will merely download it and open it the application. However, what I want it to do is to open it IN the browser, not in the application.
    There is no option for Portable Document Format that includes Acrobat in browser. I had configured it to work properly, but I had to reformat my computer and I can't get it to work again. I have disabled and re-enabled the add-ins for Acrobat, and I still can't get it to work.

    Which version(s) of Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat do you have? Do you know whether they are up-to-date? I recommend using the product's Help menu to Check for Updates to make sure they are up-to-date.
    Then open the Firefox Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * 3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins.
    Look in the lower section (gray background) for "Adobe Acrobat" and change it from "Never Activate" to "Always Activate".
    Then it should become available in the Options dialog.
    Does it work?
    Also, I noticed you have a NitroPDF plugin listed in your More System Details. In case that one is conflicting, if you don't plan to use it, consider switching it to "Never Activate" when you are on the Add-ons page.

  • 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

  • Adobe reader 9 will not open in a IE browser window in windows 7 and Server 2003

    In short, I think their products do not work very well.  I'm not surprised Steve Jobs will not allow Flash on his products and I am not a Mac fan.  Every computer I've installed Reader 9 on has had problems opening a pdf in a browser window.  I've tried this on various versions of Windows with the same results.  To fix it I had to install Reader 8.  This is not a solution.

    I've got the same problem. I'll look forward to solving this on this thread.
    It really sucks- I have a ton of pdf files, and can't save them to Documents or send them out of the Adobe file.

    What's the name of the file you are attempting to open?  Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"?  If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension.  Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

  • How to open adobe acrobat reader without having to open photoshop?

    how to open adobe acrobat reader without having to open photoshop? i keep getting this message when opening pdf files. "adobe acrobat was installed as part of a suite. to enable adobe acrobat, please start another component of this suite(such as photoshop)

    Are you mixing Adobe Acrobat with the Adobe Reader?
    If you have Acrobat on your computer you need to associate PDFs with Reader to open in it.
    You also need to get the latest security patches for Reader.

  • Acrobat reader 11 won't open anymore.  XP

    Acrobat reader 11 won't open anymore.  XP

    This does not look good.  I am also surprised that System Restore would do that; normally System Restore does not touch user data (Program Files); only system data (Windows).
    I suggest that you run the Acrobat Removal Tool http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html (multiple times, until all Reader installations are gone), then delete these duplicate install folders, and install Reader again.

  • Acrobat reader installed fine, but opens for five seconds and then closes. Using Windows 7 and mcafe

    Acrobat reader installed fine, but opens for five seconds and then closes. Using Windows 7 and McAfee on a Dell laptop.

    You can try using Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement

  • Adobe Reader 9 is not opening same files in Browser "Error in this Page"

    Adobe Reader 9 is not opening same files in Browser "Error in this Page"
    If I try to open this pdf file manually then its works.
    The Error comes if I try to open Big Files or some else Files in the Browser.
    This Error was not comming with Adobe 8.

    To uninstall Adobe Reader, make sure (using Task Manager's Processes tab) that Adobe Reader is not running.  Browser windows should also be closed.
    If you still cannot proceed, try in Safe Mode, or use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.
    P.S. Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com are not directly related to Adobe Reader, and can be uninstalled independently.

  • Why when my reader 9.4.1 opens it loads on my windows 7 APJ languages that I have not installed?

    why when my reader 9.4.1 opens it loads on my windows 7 APJ languages that I have not installed and how can I turn this off?

    MS Windows has this language bar so user can have more than 1 keyboard layout to pick (default switch between the languages is Alt+Shift).
    At mine when windows starts the keyboard languages are English (US) as a default and I can change to Greek for local language communication.
    The Adobe Reader adds to this keyboard layout 4 more languages usually when I open to read a document (usually through a browser. The result is that after this if I want to continue with my normal keyboard layouts of Eng and Gr I have to either Alt+Shift many time to get from 1 language to the other or open that keyboard layout (as windows call it “Text Services and Input Languages”), install the additional languages and uninstall them to be removed or just reboot the computer to get back to 2 languages.
    This is not just happening to me but also to other users in the company as I know.

  • Open URL in current browser window

    I'm developing an application that works side-by-side with the user's default web browser. The browser communicates with the app through a proxy, and that works great. The issue I'm having is going the other way. So far, I've only been successful opening a new browser window each time. However, it would be much better to be able to open a page in the current window/tab. I mainly want this to work with Firefox (or anything other than IE). Has anyone ever done this, and is this even possible with Java?
    Thanks in advance.

    Desktop.getDesktop().browse() is what I'm using currently. I don't think you understood my problem. Currently it is opening in a new browser window. In Firefox, it's opening in a new tab, since I have it set to open in a new tab instead of new window. But, what I want it to do is open in the CURRENT tab. In other words, navigate from the current page to a new page, just as if the user had typed in an address into the address bar and pressed enter, or just as if he had clicked a standard link on the webpage.

  • When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

    After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
    The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
    Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

    I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)
