Adobe Reader X won't open pdfs in IE8

I've just updated my installation of Adobe Reader X to the latest version, 10.01. Now it won't open web hosted pdfs in Internet Explorer (the previous version did). When I try and open a pdf from a web host I'm told that the file can't be open with the default program (and suggests that the file might be corrupt); I'm only given the option to save the file. Once saved locally on my harddrive Reader X opens the file without complaint.
Any ideas how to solve this? I'm running Internet Explorer 64bit under Windows 7 Home Pro. 64bit and Internet Explorer 8. An interesting note is that the pdfs do open correctly in IE8 32bit.

I have exactly the same problem. Running win 7 64 and IE8 64. Everything was working perfect in version 9. I have tried to repair and looking for solutions too.
Does Adobe Support read this or?
Regards.

  • Adobe Reader XI won't open PDF Files

    I had Adobe Reader 9 and when I tried to open a PDF file or just the program it would open for a few secopnds and then the window closes.  The program doesn't stay open.  I installed Adobe Reader XI but got the same results.  The program window opens for a few seconds and then closes before the PDF file is open.  What should I do to?

    Go to: C/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
    Look for a file named eula.exe (or just eula)
    Double click it
    Accept the license agreement
    Run Adobe Reader.

  • Adobe reader x won't open in xp

    adobe reader x won't open in xp.. I have uninstalled and reloaded it still will not work

    I did the following and it fixed the problem...
    Let us assign permissions to the C drive(or the drive where you have installed the OS) and then check.
    To apply permissions to a file or folder for a user:
    a. Right-click on the C drive and then click Properties.
    c. Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
    d. Do one of the following:
        i. To set permissions for a user that is not listed under Group or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select the permissions, and then click OK.
        ii. To change or remove permissions from an existing group or user, click the name of the group or user, select the permissions, and then click OK.

  • Adobe Reader 9 Won't open at all

    Randomly my adobe reader stopped working. It won't open PDF's from google chrome or IE. I've tried restarting my computer, installing Reader X, and tried reinstalling reader 9...nothing has worked. Also, adobe reader won't even open

    How are you doing the rename?
    The letters between backslashes are folders names. The list of folder names describe a "path" to a folder or file (i.e. folder1\folder2\folder3).
    %appdata% is a shortcut that expands to something like johnvic36\AppData\Roaming on your specific computer depending on what your user account is named.
    The folder names that need to be renamed are:
    com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0
    and
    Adobe Muse CC
    "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0" is in %appdata%. It should be renamed from "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0" to "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.0_old".
    The specific Adobe Muse CC folder that needs to be renamed is in %appdata%\Adobe. It should be renamed from "Adobe Muse CC" to "Adobe Muse CC_old".

  • 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 XI won't open more than one PDF

    The latest Adobe Reader (11.0.02) won't open more than one PDF at a time. Seems to require continual re-install for each open. And each time I install, it says the application is already present on my machine, yet I cannot find it anywhere. Any suggestions out there?
    Elaine

    Thanks for getting back to me, Pat. I need to go back to wherever I was and
    remove the question. After I posted my question, I decided to delete all of
    the Adobe applications on my computer and start overŠit worked.
    I appreciate your concern,

  • Help!  Adobe Reader 9 won't open a PDF in a browser window!

    I just "upgraded" to Adobe Reader 9 today, on my Windows XP computer.
    I run Firefox 3.0.8 as my web browser.
    Since installing AR 9, I cannot open PDFs inside my browser.  When I try, I get the following error message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDFs in a Web Browser.  Please exit Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
    I have made sure my Application settings in Firefox are correct, associating PDFs with AR9.
    I made sure "Display PDF in browser" is checked in AR9.
    I need to be able to open PDFs in my browser for work. How do I fix this error?
    Thank you,
    Ben

    No Solution here either, but I'm experiencing similar problems. When opening pdf's my system just hangs and I'm having to reboot. This is not helping me with my business at all.
    I suppose it's just part and parcel of upgrading these days. Good luck with trying to down grade. I've just tried and there's more frustration than success. Oh well, I do have a 4 day weekend to get it going again.
    Best of luck to you,

  • Adobe Reader X - will not open PDFs

    When I double click PDFs - they do not open.  I have Win 7, 64-Bit.  I can open my Reader X program (ver.10.1.3).
    I also have Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed on this PC - which now will not open at all - it was working previously.
    If I right click a PDF file in explorer, I can select 'Open with Adobe Reader X' and it will open the PDF.
    But if a PDF is attached to an email - I cannot double click to open it, the only way is to save it & right click it - a real pain!
    Anyone seen this issue and solved it?
    Thanks for any help...!

    OK - probloem now solved:
    I uninstalled Reader X and Acrobat X Pro.
    Rebooted PC,
    Re-installed my Acrobat X Pro.
    And now I ma back to normal - can click on PDFs & they open - hurray!!
    Simple - I should have done this a couple of days ago.  But with so many listings saying it didn't work for them I didn't go that route... 
    Glad I changed my mind & gave it a go now.

  • Why does Adobe Reader 9.5.0 open pdf created by Excel, but not with Reader X.

    We have a number of pdf's that open 100% with Adobe Reader 9.5.0, but not with Reader X.
    On Reader X, the message “A Number is out of range” is shown and the image is corrupted.
    The image was created using “File SaveAs PDF” from Excel (Office 2007), with “Standard” optimization.
    For interest, if the same “File SaveAs PDF”  from Excel (Office 2007) is used, but with “Minimum Size” optimization set, then the resulting pdf opens perfectly with both Reader 9 & X.
    Distressing that a new version does not work where previous version did.

    HI
    Sorry, my first time posting and I don’t seem to be able to attach the problem pdf to my posting.
    Example of problem file attached. Opens in 9.5.0 but not X

  • Adobe 9.2 won't open pdf file in Firefox 3.5.3.

    No error message, just blank screen. Adobe plug-in is Enabled in Firefox, and Adobe Reader Internet preferences set to display pdf in browser.  Adobe 9.2 does open in IE 8.  I did not have any issues in Firefox until the Adobe upgrade, so I don't believe it is entirely a Firefox issue.

    - Try checking the settings in Mozilla  (Tools --> Options --> Applications --> Adobe Acrobat Document) and make sure it's set to " Use Adobe Acrobat (In FireFox)"
    - You can also try setting to 'Use Adobe Acrobat 3.5.3' instead of Use Adobe Acrobat (In FireFox). This will open the PDF in the actual program instead of in the web browser. It will use a new window but this is a workaround if nothing else. We prefer this as it opens the in the full program with all features, not just the limited plugin. Since we edit alot of PDF's, we do not have to open them in the plugin, save them, then re-open in the real Adobe program.
