Blank PDFs open while user uses internet browser

One of the users at our company has a strange issue with Adobe Reader and being on the internet. Randomly when he is on the internet Reader will open 1 blank PDF. After exiting that black PDF that pops up for no apparent reason a second blank PDF opens. Only after closing the second PDF do windows does Reader stop opening blank PDFs.
To be clear of the issue I was at his desk when the PDFs opened on him, and he didn't even click on a PDF to view. It just seems to happen after he clicks any link on the web.
He uses Windows 7 64-bit professional, and I am pretty sure he has Reader X or later on his machine.
I believe he is using Google Chrome browser when this happens but he just recently said this issue with Internet Explorer, "I accidentally opened up the internet explorer and clicked a KETV news article. This time the pdf problem wouldn’t stop. It opened multiple tabs for the article I was trying to view. And it tried to open a pdf, sometimes more than one pdf, for each tab that opened. I was caught in quite a cycle until I used the task manager to kill it."
If you have an idea why this is happening please let me know.
Thank you,

I found the solution to my problem luckily. If anyone else ever comes across this problem adn finds this post. The users were using Reader 9. So I updated them to Reader XI and haven't had the problem again. If this ever happens down the road again I'd say to keep updating to the newest version and you shouldn't have the problem anymore.

Unable to open PDF directly if user use Acrobat 8

Unable to open PDF directly if user use Acrobat 8.
We are facing some problems in our production site. When user click PDF icon, "FileDownload" windows pops up, but it only has "Save" or "Cancel" button, so user needs to download and save the file to open.
I tested the following scenario using
We have facing problem with this visions IE 6.0 Acrobat 8.0 and IE7.0 Acrobat 8.0.

Does anyone have any experience with something of this nature?

I must have missed the announcement - when did these forums change from Java language to IE/Adobe/Mozilla forums?

Can't Open more than One Internet Browser at a Time

I bought a Toshiba laptop this past spring which I use, offline, at the office. i've had a problem with it since the day I hooked it up to the internet the first time. I can't open more than one internet browser at a time. Windows 7. I had need to get online with it today and had forgotten about this problem.
I called Toshiba and they wanted to sign me up to some fee-based service. They said, without checking anything (or even asking me who I am, or what my computer serial number is) that I had a virus. Is there a virus going around that causes this problem? IF so, how could I possibly get it considering I bought this computer in a sealed box?
My AV software does not pick up any viruses. I use Avast.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

There's a handy reference for keyboard shortcuts here:

That Windows key turns out to be useful, try Windows-D to show the desktop
To open a new browser window, Ctrl-n while in the browser will probably work, or it your browser supports tabs, try Ctrl-t

When I use my hotmail now using Firefox as my browser the text has now shrunk to microspcopic proprtions so as to make it unreadable. This does not happen when I open my hotmail using Internet Explorer as my browser

I was using hotmail yesterday using Firefox as my browser. As I was typing an email the print kept getting smaller and smaller. All folders and text in the inboxes is now so small I cannot read it. My only alternative is to use Internet Explorer as my browser which is still working fine

problem solved. thank you

Trying to get Firefox to open in User Agent "Internet Explorer"

I run an Internet Cafe and have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 over Micro$oft.
I HAVE to give customers an alternative to Live Messenger.
I have TokBox setup .. but gives problems now & then.
I need to cover all bases or lose customers.
The only viable alternative I have found is '''EBuddy'''.
Now the problem is .. when I log in using Internet Explorer and I connect to a contact - I can see the start video call "button".
Any other browser and the webcam button does not show.
All of the Firefox & Seamonkey User Agent Switchers I have tried work .. but I cannot expect the customer to know that they need to switch User Agent before they can use the webcam.
I need to Launch either Firefox or Seamonkey (preferably Seamonkey - if the fix is to be a permanent one) in Internet Explorer mode.
A permanent "fix" for Firefox was suggested on the Ubuntu Forum ...
1. Open about:config
2. Right-click, choose "New" > "String"
3. Type "general.useragent.override" (no parentheses) into the "New String Value" dialog box that appears and press "Enter." Type or copy and paste the desired new user agent string into the "Enter String Value" box (in this case "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1)" )
When you're done, copy that Firefox profile to all of your computers (the .mozilla folder)
I tried this on Seamonkey .. but it did not have the desired effect = no start video call button.
There is a Proxy Tool add on for Seamonkey which can change the user agent and this works. Same thing for Firefox.
But the user agent is back to default on browser re-start.
In an ideal world I would like to create a Launcher on Ubuntu desktop which would open either Firefox or Seamonkey on the E Buddy sign in page and the User Agent would automatically be set to IE8 or 9.

Try to set the user agent via a user.js file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/user.js_file
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "<IE user agent>");

Disabling Java popoup messages when using internet browser

As of late, the new JRE 1.7 displays security popup messages asking the user to allow the usage java application when used via an internet browser.
Our customer base is using our application via intranet with a local server, those popup are becoming a annoyance as well as creating issue in our application. For example, with have a timeout to automatically log out of the application which now requires the user to validate it prior running, which against governmental requirement in our case.
Is there a Java setting that would allow to disable those messages? If not, is there a solution to register our application as safe to run through Java. As of now the solution is to run older version of JAVA (7u3) to allow proper usage.
Thanks

Firefox won't open PDF's (unless I use Private Browsing)

For some reason, since this morning, Firefox will no longer open PDFs in tabs on my Mac. I'll click on the link (or right-click 'open in new tab'), the page will open, display the pdf interface at the top, but won't load. Occasionally the grey loading bar will move across slightly and stop, although usually nothing will happen at all. If I click on the Document Properties section at the end, it gives me no PDF or file information whatsoever. The most confusing thing is that if I click on the PDF link and select 'open in new private window,' it will open the PDF as per usual - although I don't want lots of new windows open and would rather be able to stick to using tabs. I work through a lot of PDF's at once and having them all together is fairly important.
I've double checked updating Adobe, I've double checked updating Firefox. I've checked on the preferences menu to ensure that PDFs are set to 'Preview in Firefox.' All of these are fine. I've also cleared my cache and restarted everything a few times (just incase). I've also used Chrome and IE just to make sure it's not a file problem, and as expected, these load the PDFs fine. Does anyone have any idea why this has suddenly started happening?

I am not sure why this started happening, however please update to version 32.0.3 when its available.
The places we can troubleshoot is in the Applications menu under preferences.

If you set it to pdf.js viewer as default does it not show up?

When ever i try to open a PDF file while on a Firefox browser an endless supply of empty tabs keep poping up, to the poit that i have to restart the computer. What should i do?

This is very annoying because the only way i can read PDF files is on a whole different computer, this makes doing school work very irritating.

I just installed a new computer and want MSN as my homepage and Firefox as my browser. How do I get MSN to open when I use Firefox browser?

My computer tech set up Firefox as my browser when he installed my new computer. I went to MSN.com and set it up as my home page but I need to know how to get it to open to MSN when I use the Firefox browser.

Inside Firefox, go to the msn website. Then, Click on the Orange Firefox button, then Options, and under Home page, click "Use Current".
Also, make sure you update to Firefox 12 (Click the orange Firefox button, then the arror next to help, then About Firefox. Let the update download, then click apply update)

Why is the mobile site for iPad requiring a login every time I go to gmail (even if I leave the tab open while I use another tab?

For the last week or so every time I go to gmail (even when I've left the tab open) I am required to sign in. This is an unnecessary step that I really don't want to do. I don't like the gmail app. And I feel like this sign in issue is forcing me to use the app. Why is this happening? Is there a way around this?
Thank you for any input.

Can you post back here a screenshot from this issue?

Some of my PDF documents got attachments,these attachments can be opened while I using Adobe Reader. After I uploaded those PDF documents to My FTP server and then using my browser to browse those PDF,I can not open these attachments.

Hi Miykael,
Do you have flash player installed on your system for that browser? Did you tried accessing that pdf file from a different browser?
I would also recommend you to refer this KB Document : https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

.pdf with Word hyperlinks opens in internet browser, or not at all

I'm using Adobe Acrobat X and Word 2010.
When I create a .pdf from the Word application, all the hyperlinks work fine, EXCEPT that they open in the default internet browser instead of Reader. If I create the .pdf through Acrobat the links don't work at all.
I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to Acrobat X, Word 2010 and Windows 7.
Is there a way to get the Word-created .pdf links to open in Reader?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

That would work on my PC, but unfortunately I can't control how each of our users have their browser set up. We require them to have Reader installed just for that reason.
Thank you, though.
