Adobe Reader XI hangs Internet Explorer!

We support several clients and as each PC upgrades to Adobe Reader XI it breaks the IE Add-On (view in browser) capability.
The pdf starts to download, pops up in the browser, and then in about 5-10 seconds hangs until it times out (45 minutes later).
IE then throws up the error "A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?"
If the user downloads the pdf it works; if the user uses Chrome or FF it works! Have tried disabling the "Fast View". It just then allows me to see when it stops downloading.
I have tried Windows XP, Win7 & Win8 and different versions of IE and they all fail!
I am seeing this across all my clients!
Sometimes, if I disable the Add-on it will then download and open it in Adobe Reader but sometimes (haven't figured out the exact combination but IE9 & Win 7 fails) even though it's disabled, it still opens it in the browser and hangs.
I created a GPO that disables the Add-n but it continues to try to open it in the IE browser.
Help!

We've been testing this some more, and we've discovered our problem. We have a Xerox global print driver installed on our computers that runs our printer.
If we take a file created in the Microsoft Suite, whether Word or Excel, and print to PDF through the print driver, and then upload that file to a website and provide a link in a page for people to click, the PDF throws an error in Internet Explorer, giving the error listed above, and fails to open. The PDF opens fine locally through Internet Explorer, and you can view the file through the "View" option in Gmail. You can also view that file in Firefox and Chrome with no problem. And the file downloads just fine.
If we take the same file and use the "Save As" option in the Microsoft program to save the file as a PDF and upload that to a website, the file opens just fine in Internet Explorer, as well we everywhere else.
The print driver is doing something in the PDF-making process that bothers Internet Explorer.

How to solve Adobe Reader 8 and Internet Explorer (IE) setting set to Download Disable

Anyone can help me with this issue. Due to our company policy, Download is disable in the Internet Explorer (IE). With Adobe Reader 4/5/6, we are able to open and view the pdf on the IE. But with Adobe Reader 7/8, it require IE download enable before open the pdf file.

Yes, I agree that PDF always downloaded to IE Temp folder. But with IE download disabled and using either Acrobat Reader 6, we can open online PDF files. With with the same setting as above, but now using Adobe Reader 7 or 8, we would get the message "The current security setting does not allow for the files to be downloaded".
Anybody know of any workaround solution or something changed with Adobe Reader 7 or higher?
Thanks.

The article mentions IE10, but the issue is the same with IE11.

Adobe Reader view in Internet Explorer is very narrow

I am able to open PDF files inside Internet Explorer but they show up in a 2 inch wide (or so) column on the left side of the screen and I am unable to get this very narrow view to widen. The PDF is there but very very small. Zooming in works but again all I can see is 2 inches or so of the left hand side. The right hand side is solid black as if the plugin is just sized down to be very narrow. I've reinstalled Acrobat Reader but still have the issue. Has anyone ever seen this?

Does this happen on every site? Try opening the PDF on this site
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html
Does it happen here as well?
Can you provide a screenshot on how that looks?

Is there a way to set Adobe Reader X and Internet Explorer 10 integration on and off per website URL?

We have a Citrix environment where some web applications require pdf browser page integration, and others need the .pdf to open in reader itself.
thanks for any input.

Thank you t quinn for your reply as I do really appreciate the help.
I don't quite understand what your suggestion was and before I try to figure it out and play around with numbers, I thought I should clarify further. When i wrote I want to paste the content into the cell and have it limited to 100 characters I was mis-spoken. I actually have all the content already in the columns in a spreadsheet and would now like to just limit some of the columns to hold only 100 characters in a cell so that when its a CSV file it will be accepted to the program I'm trying to upload it to.
SO does that change the way you can answer my question?
Is there a way to just limit the content currently in a spreadsheet to 100 characters per cell?

How to install Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer

How do I install an Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer?

If you install Acrobat 10 then it will automatically configure the PDFMaker toolbar in I.E. You can try repairing the software.
Open Acrobat -> Go to Help menu -> Repair Acrobat Installation.
Solution #2
Select "Enable third-party browser extensions" in Internet Explorer Properties.
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. Select Tools > Internet Options and click the Advanced tab.
3. Select "Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)" and click OK.
4. Close all Internet Explorer windows.
5. Restart Internet Explorer.
If still doesn't work then let me know what the version of I.E and Acrobat you are using.

Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning

Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning. However, flash player is installed and enabled, but HP Solution center keeps asking for enabling and doesn't let me scan.
Any suggestion?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @yuvalyanai
I read about the issue you are having with scanning, as you are seeing a message to enable Adobe Flash player.
To begin, I would like to know some more information:
Which operating system you are running and which printer you are working with?
How Do I Find My Model Number?
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Can you make copies successfully?
Can you print from your computer?
Have you tried updated Adobe Flash player?
Can you scan successfully from Microsoft Paint?
How is your printer connected to your PC, wireless, ethernet or USB?
In the meantime, try resetting the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
I hope to hear from you, have a wonderful weekend

How to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer

Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer. My goal is to find a way to allow users of our web application to print PDFs to the default printer without having to go through the plugin's GUI. Our application includes a browser helper component, and I had hoped it would be possible to use the IWebBrowser2 interface's get_Document() method to get at some sort of interface to the plugin (as is possible for, say, a Word document hosted in Internet Explorer) and then use this to print the document. However, this does not work: get_Document(), when called on an IWebBrowser2 instance with a PDF loaded, returns E_NOINTERFACE. I also tried calling the IWebBrowser2 interface's ExecWB() method with OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, and PRINT_DONTBOTHERUSER, and printed a blank page rather than the PDF.
Is it possible to do what I am attempting? Like I said, my core goal is to print a PDF from within Internet Explorer without requiring user interaction. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this -- it doesn't _have_ to be by automating the plugin (maybe that is a the wrong approach... though it sure would be nice if the plugin provided access to its object model via IWebBrowser2->get_Document()).
Thanks in Advance,

IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
"<"body>
"<"OBJECT id="pdf"
type="application/pdf"
width=800
height=600 >
"<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
"<"/OBJECT>
"<"script language="JavaScript">
function waitLoad()
setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
function printFile()
var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
"<"/script>
"<"/body>
So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
Thank again.

Does Adobe Reader need the internet enabled before it will read a document?

For the past two days my internet has been down due to 'electric' storms in the UK. I tried to open a few .PDF files during this time, and they would open but as soon as I tried to scroll down, they froze and said "Adobe Reader is Not Responding".
As soon as the internet came back on, I tried again and they all opened and were 'scrollable'! I never realised that Adobe Reader needed the internet to function before it would work.
Is this normal?

I wasn't aware that was normal behaviour. Most people have laptops that are at some point NOT connected to the internet. One would hope that the pdf reader works regardless, how about all the business users that like to read documents during a flight etc... The examples are countless.
Cheers.

Adobe FlashPlayer paired with Internet Explorer 8 shows Plug-In version Not Installed?

Active X version is 11.7.700.202 I am being told that for a new program (Remedy) we are going to be using that the Plug-In version needs installed or the web-based application will not work. Is there any way to install the Plug-In version in addition to the Active X Version when paired with Internet Explorer?

Flash 10 hangs Internet Explorer 7 on Vista?

I installed Flash 10 on my dad's computer last Saturday. He
emailed me today to tell me that Internet Explorer 7 had been a few
times over the past few days which he things started around
Tuesday. Since the only change to IE7 made recently was upgrading
from Flash 9 to Flash 10, Flash 10 is my suspect.
Are there any reports of Flash 10 causing IE7 to hang in
Vista?

Hi Mush25-
I had to step back from this and take a different approach.
While tossin' down some aspirins, I worked on my other niece's
laptop to upgrade to FP10 and troubleshoot. Identical to T2, but
with more Yahoo stuff: homepage, toolbar, chat, etc.. Turns out she
had already done it via Adobe yes/no prompt. No issues, everything
works OK. She said it only took a few minutes. I checked it out and
checked the settings, it's OK. Go figure.....
So, I will approach this as a problem with Manual
Downloading, which you and I did (not sure about Morac).
The HP desktop? We don't normally use IE7 on it, as it is AOL
Dial-up only, so few/no cookie issues on IE7. I kicked in IE7 and
FP10 worked OK. Well, as OK as dial-up video can be....
OK- a question for ya, this will tell me if I'm on the right
track: On your first FP10 upgrade, did you FIRST uninstall FP9, or
download/install OVER FP9? Please answer honestly....no judgements
here...
I didn't uninstall first- I admit it! I never do for Adobe
and Java, as I want to make sure the new version/upgrade works OK
before losing the old. I was on the old dial-up for too long, I
guess. There are exceptions, of course, like AVG.
Let me know.

How to install Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer after uninstalling IE 10 and installing IE 9

Hello. I need help installing Adobe PDF convert web page to pdf toolbar to my Internet Explorer 9. I uninstalled Internet Explorer 11 and 10 because I could not open pdf files in IE 10 or 11 -- trying to open pdf documents froze/locked up Internet Explorer and I had to use Task Manager to exit Internet Explorer every time I tried opening a pdf document. I have downgraded to IE 9 with the hope that I will have better luck.
I am using Windows 7 operating system. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed on my computer.
Now that I downgraded to IE 9, I've lost the Adobe convert web page to pdf toolbar. It is not even in my choice of add ons in Internet Explorer when I go to Manage Add Ons. How do I get the Adobe toolbar add on back?
I lost my Adobe Acrobat X Pro disk so do not have that to help me in any way. What can I do?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

If it is an issue of the AA X disk, you can download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. Be sure to create a replacement CD in case it is not available in the future. You will still need your S/N for any reinstall. You can usually get that from the Adobe site as long as you registered Acrobat (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html).

Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 8.1)

Hello
I am having a problem with Flash in IE 11 / Win 8.1. I understand it is embedded. But I keep getting the window at the bottom of the screen saying this webpage wants to run the following add-on 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Microsoft Windows Third Party Application Component....' I click allow and the message keeps coming back. On top of this, Flash will not work.
I have a feeling there is something corrupted. I have tried to download an update (kb3004150) and it says I already have this on my system. I also have tried to install it manually using the install_flash_player_ax.exe file, but to no avail.
What do I need to do to fix this and why aren't there other options on Adobe's site?
Thank you!!!

Adjusting the ActiveX Filtering settings should help you resolve those "Do you want to allow Flash Player" prompts:
Use ActiveX filtering - Windows Help
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

PDF will not open in my firefox browser although i have updated my jave and adobe, they open in internet explore

I recently downloaded the latest version of adobe reader, jave and the newest firefox version. I think 3.6.4 (but i could be mistaken). Ever since my firefox updated today 3/8/10 it has stopped opening pdf's in browser. All i see is a blank screen or sometimes just the loading blue bar. It will not open. I do not have this problem when i try an open the same files using internet explorer.

See if the solutions in this article help to solve your problem: [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]. For more information on using Adobe within Firefox, see [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
