BROWSER WON'T READ PDFs

Wonder if someone can advise me as to why I am unable to view PDFs on-line.   As an example, I go to a web site to view and to download a PDF and the browser says, 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'.   My operating system is Windows 7, 64 bit.   Thanking you in anticipation.   Lance (Australia).

I'm having the same problem.  It's very frustrating..............except it just won't display anything
Windows 7, IE 8, Adobe reader X.  I have also done a repair of Reader and restarted my computer.
In IE 8, tools, programs, the add-in for Adobe reader does not show as being currently loaded, but it is enabled.
One other note, I can save the file on my computer, and then open it.  I don't always want to do this tho............
Does this help>
Another thought.  Every time reader gets updated with a newer version, something doesn't work the way it used to, or it doesn't work right.  It used to be a great PDF reader.  Is there something else that will do the same thing?

  • Acrobat Reader won't read pdfs: "file path not valid"

    I thought that my PlayBook would be the perfect device to read pdfs in the Adobe Reader. The only problem is when I download a pdf from the internet, or copy a pdf from my computer, and click on the file icon from within the Reader, all I get is a cryptic error message that reads "The file path is not valid". No hints at what to do.
    At first I thought it was a problem with the file. But every file suffers from the same ill fate. Do you have any suggestions?

  • Adobe Reader 9 won't read pdf documents

    I have Reader 9. It will convert a word .doc to .pdf. But I can't open the pdf file. I have Window (Default) selected for text encoding. Immediately after converting (printing) I get a PDF file, perfect condition. But after I "save" I can't reopen. This problem just occurred. A couple days ago everything worked perfectly

    Problem solved by SW Tech. Easy! I need to open pdf files with Adobe Reader, or from my Word folder, Right click the pdf document I want to open , then "Open With", "Adobe Reader".

  • Read Aloud Won't Read PDF

    I just activated the read aloud option but when I press the button to read the page, it seems like it sees the document like an empty page. It will say "Warning, empty page."  When I click on the text it will just say "blank."

    thanks to a contributor whose Id I have lost now but had the answer! It was go to preferences under View in the Menu and click General. Then uncheck Protected Mode. close Reader and re open and it worked. The voice is so much nicer than the old Adobe Reader. Many thanks to this Forum contributors.

  • Safari won't display pdf in browser

    Posted before in wrong forum.
    I am really sorry if this has been posted before, but I have been searching the forums and can't find an answer to it. I was also looking for the FAQ article about this that Apple says is an answer, but can't find that either.
    Anyway, using 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. Safari won't display pdfs in the browser. It is gray with the Acrobat logo.
    I remember reading that the solution is to uninstall (delete) Safari and reinstall 3.0.4. However, I cannot find an install for 3.0.4 for Mac, and then do something with Acrobat. I am using 3.0.4 because it was part of a bundled OS update. I can't go back and downgrade my OS...
    What do I do?

    Hi,
    You probably won't have to reinstall Safari. Two things you can try. If you open Adobe Reader and go into the 'Internet' section of its preferences, you should be able to disable the browser plug-in. Some times that alone isn't enough, in which case, browse to HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and move the Adobe plugin out of the folder. Restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

  • Why won't Firefox launch Acrobat in order to read pdf files from a website?

    My Firefox browser used to launch Acrobat to read pdf files from the web. Now it won't do it. Why not? What do I do to get it working again?

  • Acrobat won't read online pdf links

    For several days I've had a problem being able to read PDF files online. I click on a link which has a PDF extension I get an error message which says "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1014:1014)"
    I have no problem reading PDF files from my hardrive and if I right-click on the same link and save the PDF onto my hardrive, I can read it just fine.
    Any ideas what my problem is here?
    (I'm running Windows XP, am using Arobat Reader 10.1.2, and the browser is Internet Explorer 7)

    You could try to run the repair installation command found under the help menu of Reader.

  • How to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi?

    I'd like to how to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    NeoChang:
    You can modify the installation package using the Adobe Customization Wizard to toggle the "Display PDF in Browser" but I have not found a setting to disable JavaScript from the Wizard. I have created a script which makes the changes, but it has to be run for every user since that info is stored in the User hive of the Windows registry.
    Disable JavaScript:
    REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableJS /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
    Disable Browser Integration:
    REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /v bBrowserIntegration /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

  • Reader v11 will not open in Windows Explorer (or browser) when clicking a PDF file; just a flash on the screen.

    Reader v11 will not open in Windows Explorer (or browser) when clicking a PDF file; just a flash on the screen. I can open Reader from Programs then open the file. I'm using a laptop upgraded to Windows 7

  • Cannot read PDFs in browser with Windows 7

    Since I installed Windows 7 I have not been able to read PDFs in IE8 - all I get is a blank page.  I can open them fine when they are in a stand alone file.  I have tried Reader 9.2, 8.1.3 and 8.1.4.  I tried unchecking 'display PDF in browser' but that gave me an error message that the file could not be found.  I have seen a number of posts on the internet but no solution.

    I had the same problem but I use Firefox, so I went to top of screen in Firefox and clicked "tools" then "option" then under "applications" tab had to adjust for documents, forms etc...for Adobe Reader 9 to open documents and it worked. My issue was when online trying to open a pdf form or page and I would just get a blue box with a question mark. I am also on Win 7...not sure if this will help you since you are IE.

  • Why can't I read PDF files with this browser?

    It says "can't read PDF files with this browser running. Exit and try again."
    I have Adobe 9.3.2 installed. It didn't give me this message with earlier versions of Adobe.
    Is there a way to go BACKWARDS?
    How do I save the PDF files so I can close them and view them without using the browser?
    == I downloaded later versions of Adobe.

    I have tried everything,Foxit and Foxit updates, Gone to Adobe......you think of it I have tried.
    ONLY ANSWER THAT WORKS :
    Download Internet Explorer 8 and use that

  • I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

    I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

    As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
    Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
    Thank you.
