AS2/AIR 1.5 open pdf problem

I have a flash SWF that I run as a AIR 1.5 desktop app. I want the user to be able to open a pdf file to print it. As it is now, I have flash call their browser to open the local PDF with a open url http://myfile.pdf. This works fine if their browser can open a pdf but one out of 3 of my test users can’t open it via the browser.
How can I use AIR or their local PDF reader to open the pdf in order to print it?

In the project I had various components that used the same library of classes and even though I had erased all the references to z some of the components that I used in the main project had been compiled before doing the changes so in their compiled versions there were still references to z. After recompiling all the components again the problem disappeared.

AS2, Flash 8 and opening pdf files

Hi all,
I am using Flash 8, Actionscript 2, to open pdf files from a
projector.
Everything is fine if I use 'FreeMX' and the computer has
Acrobat 5, 6, 7 installed.
But it fails to work if the computer has Adobe Reader 8
installed - the pdf document does not open.
Does anyone know of this and whether there is a workround?
It's kinda urgent - the client is breathing down my neck here:)
Julian

I think I may have resolved my problem - it looks like Adobe
Reader 8 uses different code to parse its command line than before.
The path and file name I used in my code had '/' as the path
separator, which worked fine with Acrobat/Reader 6 and 7. But (at
least here) not with Adobe Reader 8 - instead I had to convert to
'\' to make it work.

Open .pdf problem

When I try to open pdf files they go straight to the printer page. When I click cancel print the whole doc closes

Open Acrobat and do a repair (under help). Then go back to Explorer and right click on the PDF. Go through Open With to be sure that Acrobat is properly selected.

Ipad air will not open pdf file in Safari iOS 7.03

When downloading pdf from a website my old ipad used to open it then I could click and select open with iBooks, my new ipad air just crashes safari and never downloads it

I had a similar problem which I fixed by removing Restrictions I had put on my iPad to Limit adult content.
Once turned off, I could view PDFs within the Safari browser.
Settings > General > Restrictions > Allowed Content > Websites

Adobe pdf problem; the message comes up:- There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Dear all
I have got 3 mac computers. 2011 13 inch air, 27 inch mac and 2010 pro. latest softwares. all of them have a problem in opening pdf files;esp older files. the error message comes up 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.'
I have reinstalled reader, checked software updates etc.
Any help will be appreciated

It isn't likely to be a problem with the software. You have two different applications which have no interaction between them, neither of which can open the same group of files on three different systems. It's possible that one application has a problem, but not both or that one system has a problem, but not all three. Typically if there were software corruption, it would not show as a failure to open a specific type of file, but in opening and running the application itself.
I realise that that doesn't really help you since it doesn't resolve the poblem, but I think you need to start with a known-good pdf, preferably one you can download from an internet source, and see whether that opens. If it does, then it would confirm that the software is working properly.
For a known-good PDF to download, try one of the manuals from the support site here.

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help. I get the same message. What to do?

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

Problem while opening PDF attachment in Inbox

Hi all,
I am sending PDF attachment through email to inbox.
When am trying to open PDF attachment i am getting error-
'There was an eror opening this document.The fuile changed and couldnt be open'
When i click on attachment some bytes are getting transfere essage is displayed in lower toolbar.
Please guide to resolve this problem.

No reply.

I can no longer open pdfs in Firefox. I don't get an error message. Nothing happens when I click on the link. Same problem with downloads.

Never had a problem like this before, I was always able to open a pdf or download a file from any site. I used Firefox exclusively to download my credit card statements, bills, etc. but I can no longer do this.

Hi lornetz,
Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There is some good troubleshooting information in there. They also list 2 different PDF plugins. I'd try both just to be safe.
Hopefully this helps!

Can no longer open PDF files from my emails sent from other websites. Problem seems to correlate with automatic upgrade of free adobe software (from version 11 to Reader DC)?

To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:
1. Quit Internet Explorer(any other browser)
2. Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
3. Choose Edit > Preferences.
4. Select Internet in the list on the left.
5. Deselect(Uncheck) Display PDF in Browser, and click OK.
6. Restart Internet Explorer

Cannot open pdf docs from within Eudora. Registry problem?

My email client is Eudora, which has worked well for many years, but it recently lost the ability to open pdf email attachments in Adobe Reader from within it.
I have tried the standard file association solution and that has not helped.
I am posting to see if anyone thinks my problem is caused by registry settings, and if so, if you can give me a lead on which settings to change and what to change them to. Here are details.
I am currently using Eudora 5.2. Adobe Reader 9.4 is my default pdf viewing software and OS is Vista Home Premium SP2.
I was recently given a nuance product, pdf converter pro 7, which set itself as my default pdf viewer.
I have succeeded in restoring Adobe Reader as my default pdf viewer (e.g., in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer), but now, when I try to click on a pdf attachment in Eudora, the file doesn't open and the following pops up in an error box:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel."
I have gone to the associations control panel and set Adobe Reader as my default program for opening pdf files. However that has had no effect on the problem in Eudora.
The attachments to emails in Eudora have the little Adobe pdf icon next to the file name and have a .pdf extension, but all I get when I click on them is the error message. If I right-click on the attachment's file name, I get a context menu, but if I click on "open with..." and then select to always open with Adobe Reader, the pdf attachment does not open and nothing changes.
If I try to use the context menu to do a "save as," to save the attached pdf somewhere on my hard drive, everything looks fine, except the pdf is not saved to the other folder.
Other files attached to my emails open fine from Eudora, as always (e.g., Word documents), just as pdf documents used to do for many years.
I can go to Eudora's attachments folder in Windows Explorer and open the attached pdfs from there, and they open in Adobe Reader and work fine. However, that takes time to hunt them down in the hundreds of attachment files, which I would rather avoid.
I tried reinstalling Eudora. The problem persists.
I assume nuance's pdf converter pro 7 hijacked an Adobe Reader registry setting, or maybe a Eudora registry setting, but I have not been able to find it and would not know what to do if I did.
Any suggestions for a fix will be appreciated.

No, I can't, sorry.

Hi, I am using windows 8.1 (not touch). Every time I try to open a pdf with reader, it brings up a previous document and not the one i'm trying to open. As there are not many menu options with windows 8 I can only close it.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to be able to open pdf files. Thanks in advance
