Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet.  When
I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle.  We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8.  We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
Hope this helps!

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

    Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

    Are these local or online documents?  If online, in what browser?  If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
    Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

  • Rusty Solomon : Adobe Reader Error while opening pdf files

    Hello everyone,
    I have a systematic error opening PDF files with Adobe Reader X (10.1.1)
    "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. Please excuse us for the inconvenience."
    By waiting I installed Foxit but I would understand.
    I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled but it's still the same.
    Thank you for your answers in advance
    Rusty Solomon

    First I would try to update to 11.1.8.
    If that does not fix it, tell us your operating system.

  • Problem with opening PDF files in Google Chrome browser

    We have a web page displaying links to dynamically generated PDF files located on the internal repository. This files are not just text PDF files but PDF forms created using XFA technology. This means that they must be opened and filled only in Adobe Reader and not in Foxit Reader or browser's built-in PDF viewer.
    Now, the problem is that a Google Chrome browser opens any PDF file using its own PDF viewer. And I want to force this browser to open PDF files in Adobe Reader.
    How can I achieve this without disabling 'Chrome PDF Viewer' plugin since I can't do this for all users of our web site?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. We use LiveCycle ES3.

    Each user would have to set each browser individually.
    Note: I don't think it's possible to set the default PDF viewer with code for every user who visits the site.
    See the following link to enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer in different browsers:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    Note: Not all PDF viewer browser plug-ins support PDF submissions, and most 3rd party viewers may not support forms created with LiveCycle or forms with Extended Reader Rights enabled.

  • I have a problem with opening PDF files downloaded from anywhere!

    I can view them ok in Safari, but when I save and download them, they are displayed with the Preview image and will not open.
    When I click them, a message says that 'the file may be damaged or not recognised by Preview'.
    I have cleaned up my computer (apple help ) but still, the problem remains. I downloaded the same file to my MacBook pro, and it saved it in the usual PDF format, (completely different image from above), and opened perfectly well.
    I have checked the settings in Preview and they seem to be set correctly so that Preview will open PDF files.
    What next?
    I am desperate!
    Jennifer

    See if you can delete any Adobe PDF plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/. Then quit and re-open your web browser and try again.

  • Adobe reader won't open pdf files

    I was hoping someone can help. I have Windows XP, and I use Firefox as my web browser. I have installed Adobe Reader, and when I click on a pdf link, in the lower left field of the screen it reads as follows: 'connecting, waiting, stopped' it repeats this over, and over, and over. I eventually have to right click and save the link to the desktop, but this is becoming entirely too frustrating........I have since uninstalled Adobe, and re-installed it, but nothing changed. I even uninstalled Firefox and re-installed, but to no avail.
    If anyone has a fix, I am open to your suggestions.
    Thank you.

    Jeff
    Have a look here:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox
    (http://preview.tinyurl.com/5a6klx)
    it's probably an issue with the Firefox plugin for Adobe Reader.

  • Problem with opening PDF files from JSF page using SDO

    Hi all,
    I'm new with JSF and was attempting to read a PDF file from a Database using SDO and JSF. The code below throws an exception when casting from DataObject to Blob. The getLcDoc() method was created by WSAD when I dragged an SDO relational record onto the JSF page. This method returns an DataObject type which I tried casting to a Blob type before using it further. However, an exception is thrown.
    Any feedback is appreciated.
    Arv
    try {
                   FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                   HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
                   Blob file= (Blob)getLcDoc().get("ATTACH");
                   int iLength = (int)(file.length());
                   response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
                   response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
                   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){
              System.out.println("Error while reading file : " + ex.getMessage());
         }

    Hi...I found out that there is actually no need to use a Blob object at all. You can simply call the OutputStreams write() method and pass the DataObject.getBytes() method that returns a byte[] array. The revised code is shown at the end of this posting.
    However, a few other teething problems exist:
    1. This works well only if I specify the content type in response.setHeader() method. What if my users upload different types of files, is there a way that the browser opens according to the file type without setting the content type?
    2. I still have a problem opening PDF files, even if I specify - response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
    I get the message - The file is damaged and could not be repaired
    3. I would also like this to open the attachment in a new window and using target="_blank" doesn't seem to work as seen below:
    <h:commandLink
                                                 styleClass="commandLink" id="link1" action="#{pc_DocumentDetailsRead.doLink1Action}" target="_blank">
                                                 <h:outputText id="text5" styleClass="outputText"
                                                      value="Click Here"></h:outputText>
                                            </h:commandLink>
    ------------------------Revised code-----------------------------------------
    FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                   HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
                   response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/msword");
                   response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
                   response.setHeader("Expires","0");
                   response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
                   response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
                   ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
                   os.write(getLcDoc().getBytes("ATTACH"));
                   os.flush();
                   os.close();

  • 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.

  • Problem with opening pdf files in Explorer

    I'm trying to use a button to open a pdf file. It's always
    worked in the past, but now I'm receiving an "object error" and the
    pdf is not loading. Does anyone know if this is a problem with the
    new version of Internet Explorer? Any work arounds?
    Here's my code:
    on (release) {
    getURL("NameofDoc.pdf", "_blank");
    }

    Hi,
    1. It's Adobe Reader XI, ver 11.0.08
    I guess the version of the plug-in corresponds with the version of the reader itself?
    2. "Page cannot be displayed", mostly
    Some say it takes a while for the (small) pdf to open, but we could no recreate this behavior yet.

  • Does anyone have a problem with opening PDF files in iBook after updating the program recently

    I need to try to open the pdf file a few times before it goes in iBook.
    It is making me look like a fool cos I use iBook for my presentation to my clients

    I'm presumably having a similar problem with pdf's in ibook.  It seemed to work fine until about two updates ago.  We're using ipad II's with ibook (latest version as of today) for our board of director's reports.  These are sometimes several hundred pages and password protected pdf's.  Now the more whiney members of the board are *******' at me, so I need to find a solution relatively quickly.  Is there a way to back off the updates?
    What it does.
    When a PDF is chosen to open from the library, ibook open a "blank" file -- showing only the ibook background.
    One can try closing and re-opening the PDF and after three or four times it'll open -- seems to be random.
    These PDFs are created in Adobe Acrobat 9.

  • Adobe Reader is not opening pdf files - there is no Accept button on License Agreement

    Please help. I am unable to open any pdf files with Adobe Reader 9.4.0. I get taken to an  Adobe Reader License Agreement page that says "Press the Accept button to Agree to the License Agreement and Continue." However, there is no accept button to press! Every timne I try to open a pdf file, I get taken back to the same Adobe Reader License Agreement page, with no Accept button. How do I get out of this dead-end loop? I have followed Adobe's tips on how to "Change" the file through the Control Panel in order to correct the problem, but I still end up in the same dead-end loop. What's the solution?

    You can open Reader,click on right arrow key on your keyboard (it will change focus from Decline to Accept) and hit Enter....

  • HT5568 problems with opening PDF files on safari

    in Safari i am not able to view pdf pages when i open link through wed pages, i have to first save it to my desktop and then open to see the pdf files. I have another macbook where i do not have this problem. any solution to this would be great help

    If you want to open a PDF file within Safari, you have two choices. You need to place either item 1 or items 2 in your /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.
    Apple Quartz Composer.webplugin
    Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 PDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViwerNPAPI.plugin
    Your actions are, again either item 1 or item 2:
    Get a copy of the Apple Quartz Composer webplugin from someone else with the same exact OS X version as you (or reinstall OS X).
    Place in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Permission: 755 root:wheel
    Download and install the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 version for OS XThe installation will place the above Adobe PDF plugins in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    If the Apple and Adobe plug-ins co-reside, the Adobe PDF plug-in will overide the Apple Quartz Composer plugin.
    The Adobe PDF viewer has more functionality and is compatible with the latest Safari 6 releases.

  • Adobe reader problem on viewing PDF file created by crystal report

    I have a VB6 application to export the PDF file by using crystal report 9. However, when I viewed the PDF file under Adobe reader 8, I have a following message when I hit the page down key.
    "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."
    After hit okay, this message will be gone and I can see the PDF file without problem. However, I don't have this issue when using Adobe reader 5 or 6 version.
    If I crystal report 11 version to export the PDF, everything works fine also but our production machine can only use crystal report version 9, not 11.
    Anyone have idea?? Thx!

    Sounds as if there is a bug in the older version of Crystal reports.
    If you are prevented from installing fixes for bugs, you may well be
    stuck with the effect of the bug.
