Acrobat reader XI cannot open pdfs from IE9

My pc has IE9, windows 7.  After I installed Acrobat reader XI, I can no longer open pdfs from a secure website.  Can anyone help?

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?

  • Acrobat Reader 9 cannot open pdf attachement to email

    My os is xp. After installing Reader 9, I cannot open pdf attahement to incoming email. The error message is "the file does not have a program associated with it", even though I have already associated pdf with Reader 9 in Folder Option. If I save the pdf attachement to a different folder I am able to open it.
    Maybe I need to rever to Reader 8. If someone cannot solve the error message, maybe can tell me where I can get Reader 8 as it is not in the Adobe free download.

    I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
    But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

  • Acrobat Reader closes after opening PDF from an app-v

    So we have a problem with reader version 10.1.0.534. In our company we have most applicaties packaged as an app-v take firefox as an example. Now when we try to open a pdf document from firefox Acrobat Reader opens for a second and then closes again right away. Reader itself is installed on Windows 7 x64 (so reader is not packaged with app-v)
    We also have this problem with some business applicaties. Is this a known issue for this Reader version? upgrading reader is a big thing (large company) so if there is a fix in the settings it would help us greatly.

    Hi Ronnie,
    I am not able to reproduce the exact issue. Sequenced the latest build of Firefox on a system already having Reader 10.1.4, so that the reader plugins gets registered. On the sequencer the PDF is opening up in Firefox. The firefox package is then installed on a client system having Reader 10.1.4. When I open any PDF in firefox on the client, I always get the SaveAs dialog.
    How are you sequencing Firefox. Are you making any customizations so that browser extensions work well. In this case browser is working within the virtual environment and might not be able to talk to local Reader.

  • Reader XI - Cannot open PDFs from Outlook:  Internal error occured.  Access is denied.

    I have a user that when they try to open a PDF from Outlook they get two errors. An internal error occured, and Access is denied.  I HAVE tried everyone's solution of unchecking 'Enabled Protected Mode' in Adobe > Edit > Preferences...but, this has NOT worked. The user is currently running Windows XP and has Outlook 2010.  The attachments DO open if you save them to computer first, or if Adobe Reader is already open.  Please help.  Thank you.

  • I cannot open pdfs from my email

    I cannot open pdfs from my email

    Do you really expect that someone will be able to help you with the amount of information you provide...?
    What is your operating system?
    What is your email client?
    What is your Reader version?
    What exactly means "cannot"?

  • Why Acrobat Reader doesn't open pdf-files from Safari?

    I'm new Mac user and cannot find answer why I cannot open pdf-files directly from Safari. My Macbook OS X 10.9.3 and Safari is 7.0.4. Only way to open pdf-files is to download the content first and then open it. If I try to open it directly Acrobat says "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement". I have downloaded Acrobat Reader several times already and cannot understand what I'm doing wrong.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

    Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
    have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
    So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
    My machine has both on and no problems.
    Thank YOU for your help!!

    It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.

  • Cannot Open pdf from a link inside a web page.

    I cannot open a pdf that is in link in a web page.  I get an error message saying "cannot find file ... Make sure that path or Internet address is correct"it is looking for the PDF on our network and also when I open the Web page from a flash drive on the same computer where the web page and PDF are in the same folder, it asks if I trust the site and I choose Allow and the PDF does not open then either. But when i do the latter on a different machine, open the folder and web page from a FD where they are in the same folder, it asks if I trust the site and I choose Allow, it opens the PDF.
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard 8.1.3
    Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702
    Windows XP Professional  Version 2002 Service Pack 3
    Any ideas as to what is going on here?

    Here is the markup in the web page for the link to the PDF:
    "<a

  • Cannot open pdf from a link in web page

    Hi,
    I have a link in a web page that gets a Blob(pdf file) from Oracle database and returns the pd file.
    The code in my jsp is :
    // I got this from an Action (I�m using Struts)
    java.sql.Blob file=(java.sql.Blob)request.getAttribute("PDFfile");
    String filename=(String)request.getAttribute("filename");
    try{
      int iLength = (int)(file.length());
      response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
      response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""+filename+"\"");
      response.setContentType("application/pdf");
      response.setContentLength(iLength);
      ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
      InputStream in = null;
      in = file.getBinaryStream();
      byte buff[] = new byte[1024];
      while (true) {
         int i = in.read(buff);
         if (i<0) break;
           os.write(buff,0,i);
      os.flush();
      os.close();
    } catch(Exception ex){
      out.println("Error while reading file : " + ex.getMessage());
    }When I click the link, a popup windows asks if I want to save the file or open it. If I save it, there is no problem, I can open the file and see the content but if I try to open the content, I get an error in Acrobat Reader ("error opening the document.File not found"). Does I need to have a "physical file" to be able to open it ?
    Another question : What I have to do to open the pdf file in the browser and not in the acrobat reader ? I have IE 6.0 and acrobat reader 6.0. Doeas I need to put some pluggin in IE ?
    Thanks !

    // I got this from an Action (I�m using Struts)
    java.sql.Blob file=(java.sql.Blob)request.getAttribute("PDFfile");
    String filename=(String)request.getAttribute("filename");
    try{
      int iLength = (int)(file.length());
      response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");   
      response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\""+filename+"\"");
      response.setHeader("Expires","0");
      response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
      response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
      response.setContentLength(iLength);
      ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
      InputStream in = null;
      in = file.getBinaryStream();
      byte buff[] = new byte[1024];
      while (true) {
          int i = in.read(buff);
          if (i<0) break;      
          os.write(buff,0,i); 
      os.flush();
      os.close();
    } catch(Exception ex){
       out.println("Error while reading file : " + ex.getMessage());
    }and now it�s running !!! I�m not using response.setContentType(...) and I do this in response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf"). And I use response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\""+filename+"\"") instead of response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""+filename+"\"");

  • Cannot open PDFs from a link in another PDF

    Hello, I am having a strange issue on some of my users' adobe readers. (2 users on windows 8.1 PCs)
    I have created an "app choser" (see below image) which is basically an "easy one page choser" for the different "fillable forms" I have created which has been working perfectly up until this week. Basically there is 12 buttons and when the user presses one of these buttons,  the chosen fillable form / app opens which they can then fill in and send on as required.
    However the 2 users that are having problems, cannot open the forms at all. They click on the button but nothing at all is happening. Adobe reader is just not registering that there are links at all.
    The "app choser" works on all my users PC's except 2, so I know its not a location error or to do with updates etc.. Does anyone have any clues or ideas.
    I have already tried going into preferences - trust manager - internet access from PDF - change settings - Allow PDF files to access websites...... but this made no difference at all.
    thanks
    Sara

    doesnt matter i've fixed it. if anyone else is having the same issue then I fixed it by doing the below:
    Edit - preferences- Security enhanced -
    unclick "enable protected mode at startup" - restart adobe reader
    bizarrely i've not had to unclick this on any of my other users PC's (on both windows 7 & 8.1), but was necessary for some reason on the ones having trouble with opening PDF links from the "app chooser PDF".

  • I downloaded Adobe Reader and cannot open PDF files, can anyone tell me why? or what I need to do.

    I am not able to open PDF files or documents.  Why?

    Here is my assessment, Claudio.  I know you are revered among your peers and it's very obvious that you live on these forums.  You have undoubtedly helped a lot of people and you will be rewarded in your afterlife for your endeavors here but here's a reality check for both you and Pat:
    What lesson did D.Call learn from you?  Likely the lesson was, don't post here or you'll be treated as an imbecile by some hotshot bitwhiz named Claudio Gonzalez.
    Did you not see that D.Call said s/he was an inexperienced computer user… and was obviously asking for elementary level assistance?  You were blinded by your belief that your knowledge and expertise is being wasted on anyone who isn’t forthcoming to your expectations.  I merely pointed out that if you think it's such a waste of your time, why dwell?  You should have left Graffiti to work with D.Call and headed off to another thread.  Surely there were other posts requiring your extreme level of higher intelligence.
    Think about this:  You don't like it when someone talks down to you as I have here, now do you?  No one does.  Right now as you read this my guess is you are fuming and likely trying to think of a way to smite me.  You can respond to this post in whatever tone or language you choose but I won't take offense.  I’ll be the bigger man… I promise I won't reply so you can have the last word.
    When you respond, see if you can take it up a notch and maybe even admit you made a mistake with your corkscrew remark.  I don't think you would ever risk being so disrespectful to D.Call, and most certainly, not to me or anyone else if we were face-to-face.  If you worked in my company, you would be fired for disrespecting my customers.
    By the way, do you and Pat have spell check ability?  If you do, you should use it.

  • I have adobe reader but cant open pdfs from emails. Why?

    Getting very frustrated as recently cant open pdfs sent to me by emails although I have Adobe reader app on my tablet. Comes up with message Open file failed. Help please
    Donut1950

    donut1950,
    Would you provide more information about your problem so that we can troubleshoot?
    What is the version of your Adobe Reader for Android?
    What is the version of Android OS?
    What is the mail app do you use to read email on Android?
    When you try to open an PDF attachment, do you see the dialog "Compete action using" with the Adobe Reader icon?  Does the dialog have "Always" and "Just Once"?
    Could you tell us the exact error message that you see when you try to open an PDF attachment?
    Does the problem happen with ONE particular PDF attachment?  Or does it happen with any PDF attachments all the time?

  • Acrobat Reader can't open PDF file downloaded from the internet

    I downloaded the following pdf file from the internet and saved it to the desktop. When I tried to open the file I got a message saying Acrobat couldn't open it. I do not have trouble opening other PDF files. There is something about opening certain PDF files from the internet that is causing this. Is there a setting in the PDF preferences that is causing this or some security setting.
    http://www.porteverglades.net/include/content/docs/media/Port-map-2009.pdf

    It seems that Safari is unable to export the document as a PDF because the exported file was zero bytes. That's why I couldn't open it. I tried Firefox and did a File>Save. It saved the file as a PDF which I was able to open. So proglem solved.

  • Adobe reader XI cannot open PDF created with distiller version 9.4.2

    Hello everybody
    I need your help with the following problem:
    I created a pdf document once with Adobe disitller Version 10.1.0 and once with Version 9.4.2. With Adobe reader Version XI I can only open the pdf document which was created with distiller Version 10.1.0 but with Adobe reader 9 I can open both documents without any problems.Do you have any idea why?
    Thank you very much and best regards,
    Iskierka

    Hi Steve,
    Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
    I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
    Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.
