Adobe Reader 9.5 - IE9 32 bit Red X on certain PDF'S?

Hello all. On a particular site I use, I can access and open some PDF's, but there are some that appear to combine an FDF and PDF "flat file" on the fly, and now when I click these links, I get a red x in my window instead of the pdf. I downgraded to Adobe Reader 9.5 (windows 7, from Adobe 11) thinking that might help, but after a remove/re-install, the issue remains.
If I disable the browser helper in order to try and force Adobe to open instead of displaying the PDF in browser, I get a little placeholder image instead of the red x, but no PDF.
Here is the kicker...in IE64 bit, the pdf link opens the PDF just fine. Chrome does too. I must use 32 bit IE for the site however, so I was hoping to find a fix. I tried repairing Adobe, I tried running with no add-ons in the browser...I think I have tried all of the basic stuff listed here, but I still cannot seem to open the PDF.
I may look for a system restore point soon and see if this helps, but I figured I would ask here if anyone had an idea why 32bit would not work but 64 bit and Chrome would.

That makes no sense, as the Adobe Reader add-on is 32-bit only. I cannot view any PDFs on 64-bit browsers with the Adobe Reader plugin.
Do you have any alternate PDF viewer installed?

How do I stop pop up that asks me, Do you want to save changes to doc... before closing? I have made no changes only printed the file. Using Adobe Reader DC, Windows 7 64 bit.

This is very annoying and we need this stopped as we have made no changes to any of the adobe files. Please advise how to do this.

I first tried the version without the deflated stream (so everything uncompressed) against the online repair tool to check/analyse it @ https://www.pdf-tools.com/osa/repair.aspx
And it says no error found, but the reader still want to save it when closing so i still had no clue at this point.
Fortunately, i finally found what was wrong with my generated PDF.
In my xref table, each object reference was not end by a full EOL, i only did put a newline char.
Now i have "carriage return" "newline" which is the full EOL and the reader is happy and close the file silently.
As suspected i did not follow correctly the specs on xref table
Now i'll go and figure what i did wrong with the deflate filter
Thanks for your help.

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 crashes every time I open a PDF. I see the grey box saying Reading Untagged Do

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 crashes every time I open a PDF. I see the grey box saying Reading Untagged Document then it crashes with the message that Acrobat is not responding. I have Windows 7 Professional. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several times. What should I do?

Hi,
Could you please let us know if you are using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader? If so, can you please temporarily remove the same and see if you are facing the same issue.
If you are not sure about the same, please do the following:
1. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
2. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
3. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Also, it would be great if you could let us know if the issue is PDF specific or does the issue happen with all documents. Do you observe the same issue with the below mentioned PDF as well:

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

I installed a free 30 day subscription of adobe reader X1 and I want to try to edit a pdf. The program keeps taking me back to a link to buy it?? how do I use it?

how do i use my free 30 day trial of adobe reader x1?? when i try to edit a pdf it just asks me to buy the program?

I think your problems may come down to mixing up two completely different programs.
1. Adobe Reader. This is FREE. There is no subscription or trial. However, there are add-on subscriptions called ExportPDF and PDF Pack. There is no trial for these either.
2. Adobe Acrobat. This is NOT FREE and has a 30 day free trial.
My guess is that you have downloaded the free trial for Adobe Acrobat, but are continuing to actually run Adobe Reader. Look closely at which app you are using, and start it with the START button (Windows) or Launch Pad (Mac). DON'T JUST DOUBLE CLICK ON A PDF.

Adobe Reader/Acrobat and IE9 64bit

We are unable to use the 64bit version of IE9 with Reader and Acrobat. It is my understanding that the 64bit version of IE9 is not compatible... is this correct?

Adobe Reader and the browser add-on are 32-bit; it won't run on a 64-bit browser.

Only Adobe Reader 8 works on 64-bit Vista. Help!

Adobe Reader 9 and X cause MS Outlook, Word & Excel 2010 to crash on my Vista 64-bit computer. I must use Adobe Reader v. 8 to stop the problem. Is there anything I can do to use Reader 9 & 10?

Sounds strange that there is a crash issue. If you have not updates Reader X, that might take care of it. For more questions on Reader, try the Reader forum.

Adobe Reader Add Ons unter 64 bit IE nicht enthalten

Finde unter IE 9 mit 64 bit keine Add Ons vom Adobe Reader.
Unter IE32 bit sind diese vorhanden und laufen ohne Probleme.
Gibt es hier eine Lösung für die 64 bit Version?

Vorab vielen Dank für Rückmeldungen.

At this point Adobe does not provide a 64 bit IE add-in for Adobe Reader.

PDF mit Adobe Reader X 10.0.1 öffnen von der Webseite: "Download PDF"

Ich kann nicht mehr das PDF öffnen, ohne dass daselbe zuerst gespeichert werden muss. Die Mitteilung öffnen mit Adobe Reader fehlt in der Mitte vom Display ebenfalls. Bei Rechtsklick auf das PDF Download kommt "Oeffnen" erscheint unten am Rand vom Display eine Benachrichtigungsliste vom IE9: "Speichern" oder "Abbrechen" "Oeffnen" fehlt gänzlich. Auch fehlt im Menu bei Rechtsklick auf PDF Download "öffnen mit Adobe Reader".
Wie kann man das reparieren?
PS. Benachrichtgungsliste von IE9 kann nicht deaktiviert werden gemäss Mitteilung Microsoft

With OSX10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02 when I try to open a PDF downloaded from the web I get 'There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired. Preview will not open either. Older PDFs OK.

I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02. In the last few days I have been unable to open PDF's downloaded from the web. Reader gives the error message 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired'. Removing Reader and trying to use Preview to open these files give the error 'Preview cannot open this file. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise' (or something like that). Downloading the same files with Reader removed from my Mac Preview opens the files OK.
I was recently prompted to update Adobe software but did not note exactly what the update was nor when it was done.
Reader and Preview will both open PDFs I downloaded a week ago. Reader will also open files downloaded on another Mac running OS X 10.0.0 and copied to my Mac. Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again.

Adobe Reader freezes all browsers when opening a url to a PDF containing form fields...

There is an issue we are currently experienceing with Adobe Acrobat 9 (updated to the latest version) where ALL BROWSERS (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) on each of two different systems (a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX Leopard and a Sony Vaio Laptop with Windows Vista) where the application will freeze up and crash the browser when we view a .pdf file from a url if the .pdf file iteself contains form fields.
At first I though it may have been specific to Mac OSX and this MacBook we were trying to view the document on, but the same issue is now occuring with a new Sony Vaio laptop (running Windows Vista) as well.
It seems like it is able to open .pdf documents containing form fields when they are stored locally, but when trying to access them via a url, the program will freeze up. Sometimes it will eventually work if you had previously opened a .pdf prior to opening it via the url link and sometimes it doesn't. And it seems to only be related to .pdfs containing fillable form fields (others open fine when accessing them by a url)
Obviously it's become quite irratating and I'm hopeing I can find some insight on this support forum as to what may be causing this issue.
Previous versions of Acrobat (installed on the MacBook) opened this very same .pdf file (url) fine before upgrading to version 9.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Adobe Reader XI and Firefox 17.0.1 problems saving multiple PDFs

Hello,
I am running Adobe Reader XI (the most recent version as of my writing this), Firefox 17.0.1, and Windows 7 SP1. I am trying to save multiple PDFs but I am only able to save one at a time before having to restart firefox. Here is the chain of events:
I open a PDF in a new browser window
I click "Save" on the toolbar
I select the location and save my new PDF
I close the window and return to open an additional PDF
The PDF opens in a new window
I click the save button (see step 2)
The button is present and animates when I click
Nothing else happens (i.e., no prompt to select the save file location)
I get upset
I restart firefox
Repeat steps 1-10 for additional PDFs
I have a whole bunch of class lectures in PDF that I would like to save so I can study offline. Please Help!
Thanks,
T

I just tried this (Reader XI & Firefox 17.0.1), opening PDFs
in the same tab as the link
in a new tab
in a new window
all had no problem with saving; the explorer windows opened each time in My Documents folder. I do not know why this does not work for you.
Suggestion: if you have links to these online PDFs, right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'; that is anyway quicker than opening and saving the files.

Downloading pdf on iPad mini, opening in Adobe reader, won't open, saying this is not a valid pdf document

Hi
I am trying to open a pdf document which is a course qualification handbook.
I have been able to open other pdf documents in the adobe reader app, any suggestions how I can open the above document.
I am using an IPad mini.
Thankyou

Is the course qualification handbook "protected" in any way? For example, to limit the access to the content, a protected PDF document may prompt you to enter user name and password or use some proprietary technology to obscure the content.
Adobe Reader mobile products (Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support eBooks, protected PDFs, etc.
Would you try opening the course qualification handbook in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows or Mac computer and see what happens?
