Adobe Reader 9 doesn't "stream" pdf files downloaded from web

Recently I uploaded a large PDF file to my website. When I link to this file with Adobe Reader 7 I see the first pages of the file shortly after the download begins. With Adobe Reader 9 the whole file downloads before the first page appears on the monitor. This happens with both IE and Firefox.

Did you optimize the file before uploading the pdf?

  • 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?

  • 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.

    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 will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

    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.

  • How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file?

    How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file? I could not find this option under Preferences tab? Thanks

    Hey there,
    Thanks for your reply. That works for the files I do what you said. However, for files I have not done that, It still shows the navigation bar. Any idea, how to do it default for any files?
    Thanks agian

  • Cannot open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF file

    When I try to open Adobe Reader XI or any PDF file, it says that it "cannot open in Protected Mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. Would you like to open Adobe Reader with Protected Mode disabled?"  When I choose open with Protected Mode disabled, it then displays "Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.” Please help. Thank you. All PDF’s and adobe reader use to work on my computer. Thank you.  When I try troubleshooting the problem, “incompatible application” is listed under the troubleshooting report.

    Hi
    Please follow this KB doc: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • I DL ver 9,10,11 of Free Adobe Reader - cannot open any PDF file.

    I get an error message "The instructions at xxxx referenced memory at xxxx. The memory could not be written." What is wrong?

    tI did as you instructed and got no good results. I even restored my Adobe files from several weeks ago from Carbonite and could not load Adobe REader nor open any PDF file that I was previously able to open.
    When I try to open a PDF file, I get a web page that has two panes. One pane on the left has a red box area with some options. The pane on the right is grey and has some options. The web page disappears after about 5 seconds so I can't read it all.
    I tried opening three files after reinstalling Adobe Reader and after restoring my Adobe files. One folder that I restored as "Cache" and had a file inside called "AcrobatFnt11 then another file called AdobeCMapFnt11 and the other file called AdobeSysFnt11.
    I'm extremely anxious to be able to open and load all my PDF files like I was able to for years before.
    Thank you.

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • Can't save pdf files downloaded from some databases

    When I download some pdf files from databases (e.g. SpringerLink) I can download to READ only (there is NO toolbar for printing/saving/etc). I am accessing them through a University library which gives access. Is there some setting I need to change? OR are some files restricted to read only??? If so - how can I tell that is the case before I download?

    Graffiti - I did have Adobe Reader 9 - and I use Google Chrome.
    Inspired by your questions, I downloaded Adobe Reader X 10 - the pdf files still don't go through the 'normal' process of requesting to be saved and being open. They appear immediately but with no toolbar.
    SO I tried right clicking on the pdf file which could just be viewed, saving it, and THEN - YES THAT starts the 'normal' process of appearing as a file with the possibility of opening it (with toolbar).
    Is this 'normal'? I've opened large numbers of pdf files - and I never remember having to right click in order to start the process.
      Thanks very much for all your help,

  • 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.

  • Urgent: Adobe Reader does not attach pdf-files to standard e-mail software any more!

    Hello,
    Situation:
    Windows XP Pro; SP3
    Office 97
    Thunderbird
    Adobe Acrobat Reader
    When I want to attach a pdf-file directly from Adobe Reader to a new Thunderbird e-mail it starts ALL OF A SUDDEN the setup-assistant for Microsoft Exchange / Outlook! Why? I have no clue (:
    It worked fine until 3 days ago.
    Thunderbird is the standard e-mail software and it works for example fine if I click on an address in the internet. Thunderbird opens a new mail.
    I tried to uninstall Adobe Reader and installed it again (restart computer / ccleaner) but this failure still occurs!
    Does anybody know what to do please? It is really urgent because I need that function all the time... (:
    By the way: I do not work with Outlook; it is not configured.
    Thank you very much!

    > ALL OF A SUDDEN...
    What happened between when it worked correctly 3 days ago, and the time it stopped working as expected?
    Check Control Panel | Internet Options | tab Programs; to what is the E-mail option set?
    If it is already correctly showing Thunderbird, then try a System Restore to a date when it still worked correctly.

  • Error while opening PDF file downloaded  from database Blob column

    Hi All,
    I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
    In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
    After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.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 docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
    When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
    I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
    Thanks
    Kanika

    Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
    I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
    Here is the code snippet ..
    byte[] buff;
    buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
    int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
    for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
    // int b = is.read();
    int b = is.read();
    if (b == -1)
    break;
    buff[i] = (byte)b;
    BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
    TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
    if(blobDomian != null) {
    TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
    am.getTransaction().commit();
    This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
    Any thoughts from your side ???
    Thanks
    Kanika
    The problem is resolved.
    Changes made are instead of
    InputStream is;
    used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
    and after
    for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
    // int b = bis.read();
    int b = bis.read();
    if (b == -1)
    break;
    buff[i] = (byte)b;
    bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
    Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.

  • Excel 2013 doesn't display .xls file downloaded from Wells Fargo (Inconsistent)

    I have two computers exhibiting the same problem but not every time.
    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    Office 2013 64-bit
    Download an .xls file through Chrome or IE.
    Download is fine
    Attempt to click to open.
    Excel Launches, appears in the taskbar, file never opens... Excel is unresponsive.
    Right Click Task Bar icon, program will close.  You can open other files just fine.
    I noticed when you double click the file to open, two excel.exe processes open in Task Manager... not sure if that is normal.  When you close excel, they both disappear.
    Thoughts?

    Hi,
    In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
    Did this issue only occur with the .xls files downloaded from Wells Fargo website? Have you tried from other website, such as OneDrive?
    Have you tried to download some .xlsx files to test from Wells Fargo website?
    Please do some tests to narrow down the issue.
    1) Try to convert the .xls files to .xlsx files, if we can open the .xlsx correctly, this issue may be caused by the compatibility issue between Office 2013 and Office 97-2003 format. Thus, I recommend you convert the file to Excel 2013
    format.
    2) Open the Excel program first=>Click Open=>Navigate to the file=>Then open it. If it also can be opened correctly, this issue may be caused by the Dynamic Data Exchange. Please try to turn off the "Ignore other applications that use
    Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)“ setting.
    Steps:
    1.Click the File tab, and then click Options.
    2.Click Advanced, scroll down to the General section, and then clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in the General area.
    3.Click OK.
    If you have any update, please feel free let me know.
