Acrobat reader plugin displays last page in IExplorer

For some reason, when I open a PDF using IExplorer, the acrobat reader displays the last page of the PDF document (instead of the first page). Not sure why this is happening, because it works ok when I use other browsers (like firefox, chrome and opera). Is this a plugin error?
The PDF version is 1.2 (it seems not all the PDF documents behave this way). I tried to change the document version using a third party java library and Adobe professional, but it didn't work.

IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
"<"body>
"<"OBJECT id="pdf"
type="application/pdf"
width=800
height=600 >
"<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
"<"/OBJECT>
"<"script language="JavaScript">
function waitLoad()
setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
function printFile()
var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
"<"/script>
"<"/body>
So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
Thank again.

  • Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
    I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
    Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
    Is this a local or online PDF?
    If local, is the file really exactly the same?
    If online, in what browser?

  • Bug in Acrobat Reader Plugin for FF?

    Hi,
    i use a web application which pulls pdf reports from a server by http-post requests, so parameters are transmitted in the requests-body.
    As a viewer i do use Acrobat Reader Plugin, most recent release with FF 3.0.3 on Windows XP pro.
    So due of the http-post requests the requested url remains always the same for every report.
    The problem:
    In case of two reports having the same content-length, the former requested report is displayed as the result of the last request, though the content is different.
    The effect could be reproduced.
    Obviously the plugin cant distinguish the reports. With Acrobat Reader as the Viewer and with IE and Adobe AddOn all reports are displayed correct.
    Beside the http-post implmentation may not be the best way to do this, is this a bug or mishandling by the user.
    Regards
    Chris

  • Plugin check says the Acrobat Reader plugin (10.0.1.434) is an outdated version; however, I downloaded the latest version of Acrobat and installed it. Is there a problem on my PC /environment or with the plugin check?

    1. Did the plugin check on June 10th -- got the message that Acrobat Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape was an outdated version. Pressed the Update button on the page and was taken to the Adobe site.
    2. Downloaded the latest version, AdbeRdr1001_en_US.exe, and then ran the executable locally on the PC. The update completed normally. Note: I did not unistall the old Acrobat reader before running the executable.
    3. Went back to the plugin check page and I still received the outdated message for that plugin. Have rebooted system (i.e. the next day) and repeated the check, with the same results.
    4. Have opened Acrobat Reader application, pressed Help and then Check for Updates -- no new updates were found. Have run the Mozilla test (Mozilla Privacy Policy PDF) without any issues.
    5. What is the plugin version that should be registered on my PC within the Add-ons Manager?
    6. Please advise on the appropriate steps.

    I think there is a bug in Plug-in check. It happened to me as well in the last few days. There's no newer version of Adobe Reader that I know of. Anyway, Adobe is going to release a patch next Tuesday, maybe that'll fix this bug.

  • Error in Acrobat 8: An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly...?

    Hi,
    We perform the e-signing on any PDF using our custom e-signature plug-in. Once that's done, when we try re-opening the PDF in Acrobat version 8.0.0.0, we get the following error:-
    "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem"
    Please note that this error occurs intermittently and is NOT observed in Acrobat 7 or 9.  Also, when a plain PDF is opened (i.e. a PDF without any signature on it) then there is NO error.
    Could you let me know what could be the issue here? I read it in Acrobat 8.1.3 release notes that such an error was a known bug in version 8.0.0.0 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407016.html), but I am not sure of its cause.
    Let me know your comments/suggestions.
    Thanks!

    I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
    Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking  ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
    Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
    Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
    However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
    Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
    Awaiting reply!
    Regards.

  • How to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer

    Hi,
    I have been trying to figure out how to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer. My goal is to find a way to allow users of our web application to print PDFs to the default printer without having to go through the plugin's GUI. Our application includes a browser helper component, and I had hoped it would be possible to use the IWebBrowser2 interface's get_Document() method to get at some sort of interface to the plugin (as is possible for, say, a Word document hosted in Internet Explorer) and then use this to print the document. However, this does not work: get_Document(), when called on an IWebBrowser2 instance with a PDF loaded, returns E_NOINTERFACE. I also tried calling the IWebBrowser2 interface's ExecWB() method with OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, and PRINT_DONTBOTHERUSER, and printed a blank page rather than the PDF.
    Is it possible to do what I am attempting? Like I said, my core goal is to print a PDF from within Internet Explorer without requiring user interaction. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this -- it doesn't _have_ to be by automating the plugin (maybe that is a the wrong approach... though it sure would be nice if the plugin provided access to its object model via IWebBrowser2->get_Document()).
    Thanks in Advance,

  • ADOBE ACROBAT READER PLUGIN DOES NOT WORK

    when I click on a pdf document, nothing but a white page shows up (I do have the correct Reader plugin and it appears enabled.)

    I had the same problem after updating Firefox to version 4.0 and Acrobat Reader to Version X. For me (Win XP) what solve the problem was deleting the Acrobat Reader Plugin (nppdf32.dll) in the Firefox plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins). So now there is only one Acrobat Reader Plugin left namely the one in the Acrobat Reader plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Browser).

  • Creating an Adobe Acrobat Reader Plugin (Licensing)

    Adobe Acrobat Reader Plugin
    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to go about getting an Adobe Reader plug-in working?
    I've read all the 'Adobe Reader Integration Key License Agreement' stuff but I'm a little confused.
    My plug-in is specific to my application (it allows a button to be added to Adobe Reader which passes the file name to my application)-nothing complicated.
    How do I go from an Adobe Acrobat plug-in to make it an Adobe Reader plug-in also?
    Is there really a cost involved in doing this?
    Any help and guidance on this would be really appreciated.
    Regards
    Stuart

    Note: it is now called Adobe Reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader was the name 10 years ago.
    Yes, there really is a cost. You apply to Adobe, and they examine your case and justification. They might approve it, and equally, they may reject it. Then they will negotiate a price with you, perhaps with a one-off cost and perhaps with an annual fee, or both. The fee will depend on volumes and type of plug-in. The most expensive are DRM plug-ins, which seem to demand five figures, recurring.
    Finally, if approved and paid for, they issue you with a key and you use it to transform your Acrobat plug-in into one that can load in Reader (it remains loadable in Acrobat). This will be valid for a specific release of Reader only.

  • Adobe Acrobat X defaults to last page viewed

  • Latest Acrobat reader plugin for 32-bit Safari?

    I'm visiting web pages that have PDF that require the latest Adobe Reader.  I'm using 5.1 Safari on an older Intel iMac that is only 32-bit.  The latest download of reader claims it's only for 64-bit macs. Is there a version of the plugin that can in fact 32-bit and read the newer acrobat reader format?

    The Reader app is 32 bit.
    By default, it opens on 64 bit OS X versions in 32 bit mode.
    Having a CoreDuo Mac shouldn't be a problem for Reader 11.0.4.

  • Is Adobe by any chance resolving the z-index for Acrobat Reader Plugin?

    I have a situation where a DHTML pulldown menu needs to z-index infront of an embedded PDF <object> or a PDF <Iframe>.
    I have attemtpted this several different ways, which included z-indexing the DHTML menu as far to the front as possible, and adding a div tag around the <object> or <iframe> in an attempt to z-index it back -1.  These did not work for the embed PDF, although it worked for the css border around that PDF.
    With the exception of finding one JQUERY script online (which only resolves the Acrobat Reader z-index plugin issue for IE6), there was nothing else.
    And there seems to be many people looking for answers to this problem.
    It would certainly be a vaulable function, and am wondering if Adobe has attempted to add this feature in upcoming versions?
    Thanks,

  • Error: An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly.

    Hi --
    The PDF I created is throwing an error message for some people in my organization and not others. I took a final PDF from our printer (not sure what they used to create it), optimized it, and added metadata and bookmarks -- all in Acrobat Pro X on a Mac. At one point I replaced a page of a lower resolution version with a page from a higher resolution version in order to maintain resolution for a particular image, but I later optimized the whole file and wiped out the higher resolution image. I also changed the numbering using the thumbnail view so that the frontmatter of the book uses lowercase roman numerals and printed page numbers match document page numbers. I removed the page number from the front and back covers. There are a bunch of images in the file.
    The file is on our website behind a registration/log in page (free registration - Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Web Site) and this is a new initiative for us -- giving away full books as PDFs for free -- so I would like to know that the file is not throwing errors. However, there doesn't seem to be a common browser/Acrobat Reader config among the people here getting the error.
    I can provide the file if needed.
    Thanks in advance,
    Susan

    Acrobat 8 Pro. I combined several other PDFs that I downloaded, into one new document. It saved without errors, then after I printed it, this message popped up.
    I poked around in the menus, looking for some type of "audit" function, like my CAD software has and found "Examine Document". I clicked on that and then removed all the 'metadata', 'hidden text on pages' and 'deleted hidden page and image content'. If the error message doesn't pop up again, I'll assume that fixed the problem.

  • Displaying last page in SAP Script.

    HI All
    I have created 3 pages.
    Data will be displayed in the first page and 3 page ie the last page will display a small Note.
    I have a requirement in which Both First and last page should be displayed.
    IF data is too long then after first the next page should get displayed  and then the last page.
    I tried using start_from and End_form . but the issues was not solved.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Please try to control the printing of First and last page based on the Internal Table contents.
    Check if the internal table is empty after printing the first page and then put a if-condition in the script editor to control triggering of second page.
    Then you can print the last page with instructions.
