Before Adobe 10 I could open PDFs in paint but how do I do it with Adobe 10?

Over the weekend my computer updated from adobe 9 reader to adobe 10. I'm a teacher and I upload pdfs into my smartboard type device, but since I can't write on the pdfs, I converted them into paint first so that I could write on them in real time with my students. Now with 10, I can't find a way to open my pdfs in paint so that I can write on them with my smartboard pen. Is there a way to open them in paint still? If not, is there a way to go back to adobe 9? Most of my lessons are in PDFs so it's crippling not to be able to open them in paint. Thank you for any advice you could suggest.

How did you open them in paint to begin with? Reader would have nothing to do with that.
If you were double clicking them and they opened in Paint, that would be because you had your systems file associations set to use Paint to open PDF's. When you installed Reader, it would have changed those associations back to itself.
You can change your associations or if paint let's you open PDF's, just open paint and use File>Open to open a PDF.
If none of this is related to your issue, please be a little more detailed with your issue.

Open PDF in browser - but cant control/close window from javascript

Hi
I hope I picked the correct forum
Basically I have a site in asp classic. From a button I opens 2
windows via javascript.
One contains info, one shows a related file ( could be tiff or pdf ).
When user closes info-window, I also close the file window via javascript, so that user only hav to click once.
That works with tiff, but not with pdf, '!file.closed' returns that window are already closed.
Somehow I simply loose contact to that window when I open pdf.
My Adobe is set with "open pdf in browser", version 10.1.2
Any Ideas ?
Overview what I do:
function openTwoWindows(jnr,vikar,hvorfra){
          var left, top,vikar;
          width = (window.screen.availWidth/2)+80;
          width2 = (window.screen.availWidth/2)-80;
          height = (window.screen.availHeight);
          info = window.open('info.asp'','top=0,left=0,height='+height+',width='+width+',resizable=yes,scr ollbars=yes,status=yes');
          var settings= 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,'+
          'status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes, top=0, left='+width+', height='+height+',width='+width2;
          file = window.open('showfile.asp?strJnr='+jnr+'&print=false','file',settings);
          info.focus();
function closeFileWindow(){
            if(file && !file.closed){
                         file.close();
if the file is a pdf -> showfile code in asp classic:
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition","inline;filename=filename.pdf"
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
'Response.Clear
Response.Buffer = true
// fetch file from database
Response.BinaryWrite rsTmp("Fil")
Response.Flush
Response.End

Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
My machine has both on and no problems.
Thank YOU for your help!!

It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.

Acrobat has taken over opening PDF in Safari. How do I stop this?

Preview has always been the engine that Safari used to open PDF in the browswer. Acorbat took over today for unknown reasons to me. How can I switch it back?

No Acroabat at all. Now what?
#%&*#$% Adobe! Sorry. I forget how invasive it is.
In Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.. and type "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" and press enter. Your PDF plug in should be there. Get rid of it. You will need administrator credentials.

Can't open .pdf's in FF4.o or in FF3.6 with plug in?

When running FF3.6 on my Mac OS X 10.5.8 I figured out how to view .pdfs in the browser using a plug in. This worked fine.
Then when prompted I "upgraded" to FF4.0 and lost the .pdf view capability. Also then found out a plug in was not available for 4.0. {Perhaps upgrade is poorly used in this context.}
Saw a posting about reinstalling FF3.6 which I did no problem. However installed the .pdf plug in but still no viewing available.
Any suggestions? Otherwise I'm going to have to go back to Safari as my default browser.

Thanks for the input. However reading through the linked page it appears like this solution is for Windows and not Mac. The described solution does not equate to Mac's OS X environment.
Thanks again though for trying.

When I press CTRL+T it opens a new tab, but how do I get it to automatically switch over to this blank new tab?

In previous versions when pressing CTRL+T it would switch over to the new opened blank tab, in Firefox 5 this is not happening. It just opens a new tab to the right but doesn't actually go to this tab.. Any Suggestions?

Have you tried checking your Tab settings? Go to the "Tools" menu, then select "Options" and make sure the fifth check box down is selected. Here's a screen print so you know which one I am referring to.

Can't Open PDF form in Adobe Reader 11.0.3 on Mac OSX 10.8.4 Intel

Hi,
I hope you can help, this is driving me nuts.
I have a PDF Form which opens fine in Windows Adobe Reader, when I attempt to open it on OS X I get the following:
Please wait...
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.

No matter how long I wait it will not replace this text with the actual form. I have tried installing the latest 10.x as well and still have the same problem.
How can I debug what is going on rather than just "waiting"...?
Thanks!

I'm encountering the same problem on the two computers below. Email attachments will open in the same manner. Attempts to download or open PDFs on the Internet result in a black page with no content or the warning you've noted above.
Macbook pro 15 running 10.8.4
Mac Mini running 10.8.4
I am able to open PDFs on a Mac pro 17 running 10.7.5. I have used airdrop to move the document to one of the above two computers. This results in the original file becoming corrupted and unable to open and the file moved to the other computer will also state that it is corrupted.
There is clearly something amiss in Adobe and Mac working together. (And it is causing considerable frustration at this point.)
I should add, I have the full Adobe PDF product on the Mac Mini.

Trying to open PDF getting error message " there is a problem with Acrabat /Reader. Please exit Adob

I have windows XP, when I am trying open PDF getting a error message " there is a problem with Acrabot /Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrabat/Reader Please try again' It was working earlier today HELP

If all else fails, you can try one of 2 things (I will assume you are talking about Reader - though this is not the Reader forum). Use ctrl-alt-del to go to the task list. Kill AcroRd32.exe. Then try again. If that does not work, a reboot will probably solve the problem.

On my iPad using safari, and, with firefox on my iMac, I con open .pdf files on our club web page. However with Safari I only get a black blank when I try to open them on my iMac with Safari. FireFox works fine . Could there be a setting on Safari that is not allowing pdf files to open?

Hi Gregory ..
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
