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.

Adobe Reader XI and Firefox 19.0

Hi,
Recently i downloaded Adobe Reader XI and it worked ok when viewing with Google Chrome or IE 7--there was a floating toolar and I could instantly view PDFs in read mode which i wish to. For my Firefox 19.0 there's no floating toolbar at the bottom of each PDF i try to open only. Instead a sign appears on top "This PDF document might not be displayed correctly". Can some one help?

Maybe this can be helpful:

Adobe Reader 9 and XI do not save other formats to PDF.

I had Adobe Reader 9 on PC Windows 7. I am sure I used to be able to save other file formats to PDF with Reader, but when I try now, I get the sign saying "The printer name is invalid" and the file wouldn't be saved to PDF. I tried uninstalling Reader 9 and installing Reader XI. Exactly the same thing happens. Does anyone know what this sign means and how the problem can be solved? Any suggestions gratefully received.

Adobe Reader doesn't save other formats as PDF.
You probably had Adobe Acrobat if you remember doing this. They look similar.

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.

I suddenly can not open pdf files. I have had Adobe Reader Xl and just ran into this problem

I have had adobe reader xl for some time and suddenly can not open a pdf file. I received an email yesterday with a pdf attachment which I can not open. What could be my problem?

Hi Pat, My operating system is Windows 7, Home Premium Service Pack 1. My email client (email Provider is Cox Communications - Cox.net).
Can not in my post means I tried to open a pdf attachment to a email. I received nothing happens. I do not get a blank screen or any messages. Nothing Nothing happens at all. I can click several times and get no response.
I did discover that by clicking on the Adobe Icon on my deskt topi get an Adobe box containing "Do you want to allow changes to your computer. I click Yes and get to my computer where I can find the above mentoned attachment which I think I had previously saved. I then get the attachment whick I can print. This may be printing from my hard drive - I am not sure. I think I could go through this procedure every time I want to open a atachment but it seems a long way around.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I have thought about removing Adobe and reinstalling. Maybe there is a corruption to my Adobe file.

Adobe reader, DRM, and Firefox-

Hi,
I have a book for sale through a site developed by myself and a website designer. The pdf for the book is optimized for Adobe. I have digital rights management (DRM) in place. Recently, I have come to understand that Firefox and Chrome have readers on them that allow all DRM to be defeated or circumvented. Is this so? And is there a way - maybe a plug-in or an add-on - to keep the Adobe DRM in force or effect even when the Firefox or Chrome reader is being used?
Many thanks,
holtmb

That assumes you have DRM, and not a "half baked security solution" as some things have been called.
For instance, some people propose security based on JavaScript. Since some viewers ignore JavaScript, they aren't even bypassing DRM, but the effect is the same.
Similarly, as Acrobat warns you, not all products honour Acrobat security settings. Some developers consider copy protection evil.
But true DRM will require specific software and won't be readable at all by other viewers.

Adobe Reader X and Page Embedded PDFs

We are experiencing an issue across our corporation wherein, post-upgrade to Adobe Reader X, websites opened with Internet Explorer containing an embedded PDF frame now show a blank box instead of the PDF. Firefox will display these sites correctly and I have verified Firefox is using the updated Reader X plug-in. This has been tested across many configurations and behaves consistently in this fashion. Reversion to Adobe Reader 9 appears to solve the problem, however, this is not a true solution.
Help?

This may help a few of you here.
I'm running IE 8 and Adobe Reader X on a WIN64Bit system.
Reader X wouldn't open an embedded PDF with IE8 64BIT. AR X seems to like an older version of IE.
Go to your START menu and you should see "Internet Explorer" and "Internet Explore (64-bit)".
Open a window with the "Internet Explorer", not the (64-bit).
In the IE8 window you'll see a "?" on the tool bar. Open it and click on "About Internet Explorer".
You should NOT SEE "64-bit Edition".
If you don't see "64-Bit Edition", go and try to view the PDF again.
It works for me and it seems I'll have to live with it until there's a patch for 64-Bit.

Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS.

I have read some of the other posts about Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS. I am running Snow Leopard on my IMac with Adobe reader 9.1.3 and have had no problems only when using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for the Mac. There is, however, an extra step, if I recall (some window asking me to make a selection, which came up after I clicked on the "print and bill" button). But everything worked just fine.

Hi,
Thank you for the quick response. I've done that but the problem persists.
A bit about my computer it's Vista, but the folders are a little weird. Default install directory and common files folders are on a different drive. In addition appdata are also on a different drive. However this should not affect sinve I've already re-installed Adobe Reader multiple times and it used to work just fine.
But perhaps the problem is indeed path related. Anybody with more ideas to share?
Thank you in advance.
Update: When I reinstall Adobe Reader and open the file, the first time I try to install Japanese font it does not end with "registering product" but with something like "removing backup files" (see attachment). If I try to install Japanese font again and again, I will get the "registering product" at the final glimpse of the installation pop-up.

Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox 3

Has anyone else been having problems reading some pdfs using the Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox 3?
For several months this often (but not always) happens:
I follow a link to a .pdf, a new window opens with a blue progress bar in the middle.
It gets to 100%, but then nothing happens, it just sits there with the progress bar full and "Done" in the status bar.
Interestingly, I also have the "IE Tab" extension installed and if I click on the icon to change the browser engine, the page reloads (with a slightly different progress bar that includes a counter for the file size) and the document is always displayed correctly when the download is completed.
the Adobe Acrobat plug-in is v10.1.0.534.

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
You'll find previous versions there as well as the latest builds, but I honestly don't see why you'd not like 4.0. After all, this is Firefox we're talking about not IE, which seems to only get worse with each new release.

Hi Timia,
If you are using Safari as a web browser :-
Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > General, and put Google as the homepage. Then, choose Google as your default search engine.
If you are using Google Chrome as the web browser :-
Open Google Chrome.
In the top right corner of the page, click the Chrome menu Chrome menu > Settings.
In the "Search" section, select Google from the drop-down menu.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh

Why can't I connect to the Internet on my Adobe Reader? And why do websites tell me I don't have Adobe downloaded when I have an updated version on my computer? It is an IPad,does that affect it?

Also, download and open the free Adobe Reader app. Then read the Help section to figure out how to use it.

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 9 and Mac OSX 10.5 - FDF Issue

I have an issue that only happens when using Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5.
When submitting a form from within a PDF, the FDF that gets sent is completely blank.
Tested on Mac OSX 10.4 with Adobe Reader 9 - no issue
Tested on Mac OSX 10.5 with Adobe Reader 8 - no issue
Tested on Mac OSC 10.5 with Adobe Professional 8 - no issue
It only seems to be a combination of OSX 10.5 and Reader 9. Does anyone have any clue about the settings of these two and what might be happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

Hi everyone,
I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

Windows Vista.
I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.

Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?

The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.
