Adobe reader not able to open links to files on FTP sites (10.1.3)

Hi,
After the recent Reader upgrade to 10.1.3, we are no longer to use the existing documentation that has hyperlinks to our company FTP site.
The document is published using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1, and the staff open the document using Reader 10.1.3.
In reader when they click on the hyperlinks to the FTP files, the following error is shown:
'Could not open the file: 'ftp://******(doc name)****.zip'
In Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended - when you click on the hyperlinks you get this error;
'This file is set to be launched by this PDF file. This is currently disallowed by your system administrator'
Can someone please let me know how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm confused at why this worked in March 2012, but not now (May 2012).
Previously having a hyperlink in a document to download a ZIP file from a FTP site worked.
I did take a look at forum you listed, but I couldn't work out how the document could help me to fix this situation.

Have you been able to get a hyperlink to work to download a file from a FTP site?
Thanks!

I have a user on Adobe Reader X. whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box. Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

I am not able to open a PDF file that I just created. I get an access denied message instead.

Thanks for asking.
I was combining different types of files into a single PDF. Some of them were excel spreadsheets and I had set the print areas in each file. When I cleared the print area the problem stopped. So I am assuming that had something to do with it. Though I am not sure.
The strange thing was that I was able to open the excel source documents after creating the faulty PDF but some of the MS word source documents also had "access denied" status. I still cannot figure that part out.

Magic Mouse not not able to open folders or files

Magic Mouse not able to open folders or files on desk top. I can drag folders around but not able to open either with a double or single click of the mouse.
Tried an older BT mouse with same effect.
Command O works fine.

Hey there kwilli2,
It sounds like your mouse left click is not functioning correctly. I have a couple of things to recommend and see what might be happening. First check in the Universal Access preferences pane to see if either, the double click speed is set to high.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Universal Access.
Click the Mouse & Trackpad tab.
For Magic Mouse, click Mouse Options to show these slider controls:
Adjust the sliders to your preference for double-click and scrolling speeds.
From: Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse: How to adjust double-click and scrolling speed in Lion
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4930
If lowering the double click speed does not resolve the issue, I would next try these troubleshooting steps in this article named:
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file

how do i make adobe reader my default to open any pdf file?

What is your current default? If Adobe Acrobat (X or XI), you can set it in your preferences.
If it's another program, reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will set it to the default program.

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Not able to open a downloaded file - paint??

I cannot open a file downloaded in Adobe. This is the error message: "Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported." I get the same message when I try to open saved adobe files or files that have just been downloaded. I think the downloading is ok as I get the message that the file has downloaded. But, I am not able to open it. Paint is elicited instead. I am using a windows operating system and firefox for a browser. Does anyone have some hints to pass on? I don't know where to begin.

What do you mean by "Adobe files"?
What is your operating system?

I have installed the latest Reader version and I am not able to open a PDF file, why not?

Please advise why I cannot open a pdf file?

Any number of possibilities.
What happens when you try? Or don't you know how?

Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
HELP!
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
Why did it suddenly stop working?
What can I do to fix it ASAP?
Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari" - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

Adobe Reader is trying to open all my files

I was offered the option to Open Files With and somehow I chose adobe reader.... Now all my shortucts and programs have a .lnk extension and I cannot open them.
How can I undo and rever to the default?

Michael, thanks for the link.
First let me mention that I uninstalled adobe reader and everything went back to normal except - of course - I couldn't open a .pdf file which was not good.
I reinstalled adobe reader hoping that the new install will come clean but once done I was back with the problem.
The link you sent me lists several solutions one of which is to perform a registry fix which I wouldn't attempt because - as it mentions - I could end up with more serious issues.
Another solution it mentions is to set the default program to a web browser, email client... etc. This is simple to do but could you please explain to me what this will do? Let's say I set the default program to internet explorer. Will it stay as the default program forever? Will it open a word document, or corel draw for example?
Thanks again,

Adobe Reader don't always open instruction pdf files

I have a 27 inch iMac running the latest osx software 10.8.2. and Adobe Reader 10.1.4. Often when I download instruction manuals, such as the one for iDraw, which I purchased from the App Store; it says the file is corrupt and can't open it. I have experienced this problem with several user manual pdf files. Is there another pdf reader that might be able to open these files. I don't mind paying for the software if it will work. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Leonorafromarcadia

I did get around this problem by trashing Reader 8 and confirming that I still had Reader 7.05 installed

No option in adobe reader 9.2 when opening a pdf file to "save as" a tiff file

Hi, I want to save a pdf file as a tiff file. I have Adobe Reader 9.2 and windows xp. In the Adobe website, it says I can export or convert a pdf file into different formats. However, when opening an existing pdf file, there isn't an option to export or "save as" in the Tools menu or in the Preferences under Edit. The reason I want to save a pdf file into a tiff file format is because when I use the program Microsoft Office Document Imaging to open a tiff file, it allows me the option to move selected pages & save it as a new file. In a pdf file, I have to save all the pages as one file & I don't necessarily want all the pages. My only other option is to print the selected pages I want from the adobe file document and then scan it into a tiff file but I would hate to use paper just for that purpose.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

You can use a tiff printer driver:

Why does adobe reader keep trying to open my XPI files?

Recently when trying to download a .xpi file I accidentally clicked on adobe reader instead of the program I wanted to use to open it, and now it repeatedly tries to use adobe reader to open it no matter what I do, I've looked everywhere and I can't change this. Could you please inform me on how to change what I use to open a file?

You can install such an locally saved extension in Firefox by dragging the file in a Firefox tab or use "Firefox/File > Open File" to install the extension.
There is usually no need to open an xpi file directly.

Cannot download Adobe Reader. Can't open any pdf files

Hi. I am using google chrome as my browser. i tried to download adobe reader. it downloads the .exe file. i try to run it and i save it. (after saying yes to security). But then it doesn't do anything and I can't download any Adobe products. My flash driver was also removed. I tried to install McAfee and it started doing this. Is there a conflict between McAfee and the Adobe reader?

Download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
