Adobe Reader clashing with web browser, problem. Help

Hello,
I've been using Foxit Reader before using Adobe Reader. Now when i'm trying to view pdf files in firefox there is this error showing "The Adobe Reader cannot be used to view pdf files in a web browser". I've tried reinstalling adobe reader but this problem persists. Below is a screenshot of the problem. This might be a bug in the program as i have done the needful and set adobe as the deafult pdf file manager or the web browser might be clashing with this version of adobe reader. I'm not sure why this is happening and would like someone to educate me on this.
Please let me know of any solution to this problem. I'm on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Ritwick

  • Adobe Reader X fast web view problem

    Hi,
    When I try to open a PDF with several pages from the web using Adobe Reader X, fast web view function seems not working while I could only view it after download of the whole file completed. Checked and confirmed that "Allow fast web view" selected in the Reader, as well as the PDF file being tested support such function. Here's my OS and software environment:
    - Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1
    - Internet Explorer v8.0.7601.17514
    - Adobe Reader X v10.0.1
    I tried several scenario as below:
    - Disable "Display PDF in browser", no improvement
    - Uninstall Reader X and install Reader 9, test on the same PDF and fast web view working properly
    - Uninstall Reader 9 and install Reader X again, same problem happen again
    - Install Reader X on a freshly installed Windows XP with SP3, same problem appears
    Does anyone experience the same issue? Or any ideas \ solutions? Many thanks.
    Regards,

  • How to set up Internet Explorer 9 to show pdf in Adobe Reader instead of web browser

    Hi,
    I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit), Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader IX (v.11.0.00).
    I would like to set up Internet Explorer 9 to show pdf-files in Adobe Reader program windows instead of viewing pdf-files within the web browser. Adobe Reader IX doesn't have the setting "Display pdf-files in browser" any longer, earlier versions of Adobe reader did have that setting.

  • I need help with a browser problem

    I am was given a new iMac G3 (from 2001) which was really never used.I have not yet had any serious problems with it, but really could use some help with a browser problem.
    I have 4 different web browsers that needs the macro media flash player update. The browsers I use are internet explorer, iCab, Netscape, and the original Mozilla Firefox.
    It would be of great appreciation for the readers of this post to answer my question.
    I am also having the problem with installing the plug - ins for the browsers. Thank You For Taking the Time To read This!

    Hi, rynodino -
    As Tom has suggested, plugins need to be installed in the Plug-Ins folder for the browser.
    Typically each browser will have its own Plug-Ins folder, usually located in the same folder containing the browser itself. In order for each of several browsers to access the same plugins, the plugins must be replicated and placed in each of the Plug-Ins folders for each of the browsers. The easy way to do that is to hold down the Option key while dragging a plugin to the new location - a copy (not an alias) of the plugin will be generated at the location it is dragged to.
    Most plugins will display a Netscape icon regardless of where they are located - this is normal.
    It is not unusual for the installer for a plugin to default its install to the Plug-Ins folder for Internet Explorer. So be it. Just replicate the new plugin to the other Plug-Ins folders as needed.
    Note that some plugin installs will involve more than one item. For those, be sure to replicate all items for it. Using labels can help identify what is new, what has been most recently added, in a Plug-Ins folder.

  • Problem in submit button on adobe form integrated with web dynpro

    Hello,
    I'm facing prob in triggering web dynpro event onSubmit for Interactive form.
    I've created a submit button from web dynpro activex pallete on adobe form (integrated with web dynpro) to send the form as email.
    Then in the web dynpro view where this form is embedded i have created an action against onSubmit event and called a method within this.
    However, on clicking Submit button this event is not getting triggered.
    Please let me know what is lacking in this process?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am also facing the same problem. i have developed a simple scenario under which user have to input his/her details and on submit button it will be updated to database.
    I have tried the above solution but after adopting this solution all the editable fields become non-editable.
    so the above solution is not working for me could you help me out.
    I think ... try this....
    When you create the Adobe Form from WebDynpro, you need to follow one step in SFP Transaction or inSE80 transaction. Open the Adobe Form in any one the transaction and now in SAP menu bar "Utilities" in that you will find the "INSERT THE WEBDYNPRO SCRIPT" just click on that one. Then you will see a new Script Object is being created with the name "ContainerFoundation_JS" under the "Variables" in the Heirarchy of the Object Pallete of the Adobe Form.
    This step is mandatory to use the SUBMIT Button of the "WebDynpro Native", to trigger the OnSubmit event of the WebDynpro.
    Thanks

  • Search Help on Adobe Interactive Form with Web Dynpro ABAP

    Hi All,
    I have created Adobe Interactive Form with ZCI type and XML based interface type using Webdynpro ABAP.
    I placed a text field USER_NAME on the form ( data element is linked to search help USER_COMP ).
    Added Native WD UI element 'Value Help' to form to search for users and changed script
    *var fieldName = "INSERT_NAME_HERE*"; to var fieldName = "USER_NAME";
    The problem is that when I click on the value help button, nothing happens.
    Is any more additional steps required ?

  • How to Show preview of adobe illustrator file on web browser

    Hi All....
    Is there any possibility to showing preview of adobe illustrator file on web browser through Flex or Flash or any other application.
    If any kindly suggest me.

    Hi Mylenium
    Thanks for all your suggestions..
    While Googling on this issues I come to know that Illustrator file can be exported in XAML format with the help of a small plug-in, and that XAML file can be use in Microsoft silverlight. Then we can preview our Illustrator artwork on web browser. Also we can select each artwork (line, point, shape etc) on design view (on Microsoft Expression Blend). This is what I required.   
    Here is a link for Illustrator to XAML Exporter

  • Adobe Reader Performance with Protect Mode On

    We are getting very poor performance in opening PDF documents with Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, particularly for users remote from our central server.  With Protected Mode off, performance is much better (10-20X faster opening).  Note that we are running Windows 7 with Application Data Roaming and Adobe Reader XI with Protected Mode on, Protected View off, and Advanced Security on.  We have diagnosed the problem as follows: We are using the Windows 7 Application Roaming Data feature to house some profile data for our remote users, and when they try to open a PDF document with Protected Mode on, Adobe sends numerous I/O packets (approximatel 6000!) across the "wire" for security checking against the Application Roaming data file on the central server, thus greatly slowing PDF opening.  We would like to know the following: 1) Is there a way to turn-off Protected Mode for company server stored documents, while keeping it active for documents received from external sources (e.g. from the internet, e-mail, etc.). 2) is there a way to have Protect Mode security verification done only on the local machine profile data and not on the centrally stored Application Roaming Data file (thus greatly reducing the "across the wire" I/O traffic).  Thanks for any help, CCB.

    I don't think any of the scenarios you are envisaging are possible.  Protected Mode is enabled/disabled on a user basis (in HKEY_USERS).

  • Adobe reader met with unexpected error

    Hi all,
    I've been bombed with this problem for so long, I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can give any suggestion. The problem is: My adobe reader 7.0.8 or 8.0 are constantly met with unexpected errors. It just doesn't work, I can't open any files with it. Did anyone have similar problems before? Is there any hidden files I have to delete before installing a newer version or something else?
    thanks!!

    Here are more details:
    I had adobe reader 6.0, the only version that was working on my mac, in my application library. I tried to upgrade it to version 8.0. I downloaded and installed adobe reader 8.0 alright, no problems there. But after installation was complete, the Reader restarted itself and crashed, showing me the message "The adobe reader met with unexpected error." and could not even function, not to mention opening any files. It happened with 7.0.8 before as well. I had no other way but to change it back to 6.0. But it's really bugging me because compared to the latest versions, 6.0 isn't really that good. So please help! thanks

    My ipad mini doesn't have a web browser! Help. I can't access the internet or iTunes or the app store. The web browser icon isn't even there.Anyone know what to do?

    I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
    All else fails? Restore it.

  • How to open Adobe Reader DC with Tools Closed

    I do NOT like Adobe Reader opening with the right column expanded.
    Also in all previous versions I could save my login for protected pdf files and when I open them back up they require a login again.  This is NOT how I want to work with Adobe Reader.
    Adobe Reader XI was so much better.

    Before the DC version we were able to save our passwords from University of Phoenix and when opening the document saved to our computer it would unlock automatically.  This new version DC will not allow this even when you say Yes.
    The Right Column in previous versions would allow to disable until requested to appear this version it opens regardless.
    Just my opinion here  Adobe Failed at customer satisfaction on this UPGRADE.
    Regards a unhappy Adobe user.
