After upgrading to 3.6.12 pdf files do not open, I've tried using both Adobe Reader and Foxit. They would open fine before.

Since upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 when in a website I try to open a PDF file, I get a blank page. I tried using both Foxit and Adobe Readers and made sure they were listed in Applications area under Options.

Hi there,
You have to go to "Extras" , then -> "Add-ons".
Deactivate the following plugin:
"Adobe Acrobat and Reader Plug-in 7.0.9"
With the very best wishes!

    Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.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). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

    Obviously your download was not successful.
    What is your operating system?  How exactly do you download such files?

    I was able to fix the problem with some help from Apple. Whenever I last downloaded Reader, I apparently didn’t complete the process by accepting the Reader contract. I was able to go right to that point in the process and complete the installation. The messages that I needed Reader but it was already installed were quite confusing. It would have been nice if the Adobe installation process that I was re-trying this morning had been able to detect a partial installation. The Troubleshooting page almost had me doing some ridiculous things that wouldn’t have helped.

  • Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • PDF file will not print text properly in Acrobat 9.5.0 and OS X 10.6.8

    I have been having trouble printing PDF files from Acrobat ever since I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8. I have read many posts about the issue having arisen for other people in 10.6.7 and 10.6.8 although it did not seem to be a problem in 10.6.6. However, I have yet to find a permanent solution to this issue. Specifically, I am printing to an Epson Stylus Pro 4000 via LPD. I think my issue revolves around the Open Type issue that people have been discussing in OS 10.6.8, since I have two identical files other than the font encoding. The one with Type 1 PS fonts prints fine, the other with fonts converted to CID does not. Both files make it to the printer, but only the Type 1 file prints the fonts properly. The CID version has all the font characters on a line stack up on top of each other to the left side of the page. Any help would be appreciated. I hoped the upgrade to 9.5.0 would help, but it does not. And yes, the file prints fine in Preview, as well as if I check the option to print page as image. But I don't want to rasterize my page, I'd like it to print as it should. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  • Unable to open pdf files even though have installed the latest version of adobe reader

    New computer. Old computer had windows 7, new one has windows 8. On the old computer I can open the files, and I can download fillable forms and save them. On the new computer I can not open some files, and the fillable forms will only save empty, not completed.

    pissed off adobe user wrote:
    I get the error message that says if this page does not go away, that I need to install/upgrade Adobe reader.
    This means that you are using a browser that uses its own (incompatible) PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
    To configure Chrome or Firefox see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
    I don't know about Windows 8, or if/how its PDF viewer is integrated in Internet Explorer.

  • I downloaded the Adobe Reader and now can't open PDF files

    I downloaded the Adobe Reader after notification on my MacBook Pro and now can't read PDF files

    Yes, I was able to open PDFs until I downloaded the new version as per the alert on my MacBook Pro.  I was using Adobe Reader often. 
    I downloaded whatever they sent me my way (11?) and my operating system is Mac05 (10.5.8-10.9 English).The message says I’ve already downloaded it.  It didn’t mention file.org.  I looked in my preferences and didn’t see Adobe Reader, only Flash Player.
    I’m not terribly computer savvy, so I’m trying to figure this out.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • I'm getting an error message when trying to download a PDF file. Its says that 'FoxitReaderOCX.ocx failed to load'? What do I need to do. I've reloaded both Adobe Reader and FoxitReader

    Corel says that it is not their problem.

    Try disabling the Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.4.1" and make sure FoxIt is set to handle PDF files. <br />

  • FireFox still identifies pdfs as Foxit documents even though I'm opening them in Adobe Reader and uninstalled the Foxit trial and FF plugin years ago.

    When I click on a pdf file link in FireFox, the Windows open file dialogue opens, saying "You have chosen to open [filename]
    which is: Foxit Reader PDF Document [filesize]
    from: [author]
    What should FireFox do with this file?
    [selected radio button] Open with Adobe Reader
    THERE IS NO PROBLEM OPENING THE FILE. It opens in Adobe Reader, in a window outside of Firefox, which is exactly what I have it set up to do. The problem is that it identifies the file as a "Foxit Reeader PDF Document," even though I uninstalled the Foxit trial and associated FireFox plugin ages ago, and Foxit does not appear anywhere on my computer in any way, shape or form (that I have access to). No Foxit in the file associations for Windows, or in the applications associations for FireFox. There is no Foxit plugin installed, and I even went and deleted what was left of the Foxit directory. Yet pdfs are still identified in FireFox as Foxit files, so FireFox must be storing this old info somewhere. How do I get rid of it?
    BTW, files open in a browser window inside the browser in the other 3 browsers I have installed, so there is no open file dialogue, and I can't tell whether there is the same problem. When I check the properties of a pdf outside of FireFox (by rightclicking a pdf on my desktop, for example), it is identified as an Adobe Reader file. I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. I have two Adobe Acrobat plugins showing in FireFox (10.1.8.24 and 11.0.5.3). Should I have two? No plugins, extensions, or anything else by Foxit.

    Most likely this information is in the mimeTypes.rdf file, which can accumulate a lot of obsolete information which occasionally does cause problems. You can rename the file and have Firefox rebuild it from scratch with only the current applications detected (as far as Firefox can tell from the Windows Registry).
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Restart Firefox. Presumably now it will forget all about Foxit. Unfortunately, it may also have forgotten some of your application preferences, but hopefully those won't take too long to reestablish.

  • Reinstalling adobe acrobat 7 prof after upgrading OS but fails create pdf port

    Used download manager to reinstall adobe acrobat 7 professional after upgrading OS to windows 7. Install ends but fails with error "Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0.5 set up was unable to create a new item Adobe PDF Port & Printer". Adobe is installed but I can no longer print to pdf nor use Adobe directly to create pdf from file. This feature was available before this reinstallation.
    How do I fix this?

    Hi myee.somers,
    Acrobat 7 is a 32-bit application and while it can successfully be installed on a 64-bit machine using SysWOW64 (which enables 32-bit apps to work on 64-bit machines), there are some known limitations. One of those known limitations is that 32-bit printer drivers will not work on 64-bit machines.
    So you can install the main Acrobat 7 application, but you won't be able to installer the Adobe PDF Printer Driver.
    Support Policy for Adobe Acrobat 7.0.x (Windows XP x64)

    Kb for error 20225: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-warning-20225-or-no.html
    Even in the 64-bit versions of Windows XP  the Acrobat 7 printer driver was not supported.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?
