Blank Adobe Pop-Up after trying to open a web-based .pdf?

When I try to open an adobe file through IE8, a blank pop-up from Adobe shows up. I'm not sure what it means, and the .pdf doesn't open after that pop-up. What is this?
I've attached a screen shot of what I am seeing. The blank box in the background should be the pdf & the example of the Adobe pop-up is in the foreground.
Thanks!

Hi
It happens with almost all .pdfs that are web-based. For instance, it will not open this file: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA3-7370ENW (hp.com fact sheet).
Any files that I have saved to my PC do not have this issue.
Regards,
Rebecca

I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
            "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
- I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
- in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.
If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.
Cheers

Did you check what I would consider the first place to look:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
If the site is still down (at least 12 hours) when you read this try [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A//kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Google's cache]
Link or url would make it easier to see which page you tried rather than "your online solution for ...".

In Safari, opening a web-based pdf results in a black page?

Whn I am using Safari which is the default browser on my IMAC, opening a web-based pdf results in a black page? This does not happen when using firefox. Also does not happen when opening an emailed pdf.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How do I open a web based PDF document on my iPad?

I am unable to open web based PDF documents as I fear Apple does not trust PDF documents on the Web.

Hi Rick,
Did you try attaching screenshots to your reply to the email from this forum? Because the Adobe forums do not accept any type of attachments for security reasons, your photo attachments did not get through. Sorry about that.
But I think I know what you saw when you tried to open one of the PDF Application Forms on the Alberta (Canadian) government web site.
Did you see a message like this in Safari on your iPad?
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.
If so, the PDF form is a special type of form called a "dynamic XFA form". The message is displayed when a dynamic content is not supported by a PDF viewer.
As far as I know, there are no iOS apps that support dynamic XFA forms. The mobile version of Adobe Reader does not support dynamic XFA forms. Neither does Safari or iBooks on iOS. It's the limitation of mobile PDF viewer apps.
To recap
Dynamic or static XFA forms - Use the desktop version of Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or Windows computer.
Most PDF documents and non-XFA forms - Use the mobile or desktop version of Adobe Reader.
Please note that Apple iOS apps (such as Mail, Safari, and iBooks) do not display filled form data or annotations (sticky notes, highlight, etc.) at all. If a PDF document/form is first opened in Mail, Safari, or iBooks, you need to use the iOS "Open In" feature to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS.
How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
(This is the same FAQ document that I mentioned in my reply #2 above.)
In this particular case, using the "Open In" feature to transfer the PDF Application Form from Safari to Adobe Reader for iOS does not help. Because Adobe Reader for iOS cannot display the dynamically generated content of the XFA form from the Alberta government web site.
But you should be able to open other "regular" PDF documents (just like the one that I provided as a sample link) in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Problem opening a web based PDF

Group, I would appreciate anyone’s help with this. I run windows XP and just downloaded Adobe 9.1 I have no issues when trying to open a pdf file. However when I click on a web based document in a web browser I am unable to open, and receive the following error message:
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Actrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again.
I have 2 laptops which I did not download 9.1 and I am not having this issue, only on the machine with 9.1.
Any ideas?

Run repair installation from the help menu.

Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open, now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Firefox stops loading pages after trying to open a heavy page

firefox stops loading pages after trying to open a page with alot of pictures etc, with big size. it just keeps on loading pages with no result.
my internet is fairly low speed so i take my time but this happened each time i tried to open such sites.
even when i close that '''tab''' and try to open just '''google.com''' , it wont load.
its solved after closing and opening firefox again . but happens again if i try to open the same heavy site

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting the issue; we would like to reproduce it at our end. Please give in the below information to investigate on this,
1. The Linux distribution (Version of Linux) you are using.
2. Are you opening the pdf from shared location? If yes, then how is the shared location mounted.
It would help if you can send in the pdf you are trying to open. Please email the same to vaibhavp at adobe dot com or attach it on the forum.

What's the name of the file you are attempting to open? Is it "ScreenFlow_4.5.2.dmg"? If it is the correct name then the message is correct and you are attempting to open a file with DMG files extension and not one with a PDF file extension. Adobe Reader opens PDF files an not any other file type.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

Getting error while trying to open the web forms in classic planning app

hello,
I am new to OTN forum. can someone please help me to resolve my issue in classic planning application.
i have created two web forms in classic planning . but while i am trying to open the web forms ,its showing the error like
the" data form Report1(Report name) is invalid. Check log for details.
i have checked the log file also but was not able to understand the errors.
Before this i have tried lots of things to make this issue fixed like updated JVM size then in task manager i have checked the memory usages for process .
but these were not helpful to solve.
Kindly anyone suggest me the solution.......

It is probably worth refreshing the metadata to see if that fixes the problem; error message might indicate that the form has members on that have not yet been passed to Essbase.
You dont give the version you are using, but for v11.1.2.1 you do this through Workspace, menu options Administration/Application/Refresh Database - tick Database and Refresh. Its advised that you back up your Outline and data before refreshing.
Hope this helps.

"File in use" pop up while trying to open excel files

Hi,
We are regularly experiencing difficulties accessing excel documents residing in our Sharepoint site collection that are shared by numerous members of the department for updating.
We are aware of the 10 minute rule for excel documents, where if you try to open a document that has been saved by another member previously, you must give 10 mins before the system releases the lock.
Recently several occurrences have stopped members from being able to open excel documents, where the document has been updated and saved by member A and closed. Then member B tries to open document well past 10 mins after member A had closed the document,
only to receive the 'File in use' pop up and not able to open the document in edit mode.
Any suggestions please?
Thank you.
