Can't open web pdf document: Adobe Reader 10 stops at welcome screen

I installed Adobe Reader X.
Now, when I open a pdf file from the web, the browser (either Google Chrome, Opera or Firefox) downloads the file and opens Adobe X.
Funny, I thought. Up to this date (using Adobe 9) the browser opened the file into a browser window, using the plugin.
Of course, I went into Reader Edit/Preferences/Internet and checked the "Display PDF in browser" to no avail: instead of opening the pdf inside the browser, the browser launches the Reader X program.
However, after downloading the pdf and opening Reader X, you find a nice gorram welcome screen.
As there is no way to close that screen (you have to choose one of the documents opened in the past or pick a document from the disk), Adobe Reader will not open the file I just picked in the browser. It just sits there waiting for me to pick one of the options of this welcoming screen.
Of course, the page with the files I'm trying to download uses an script or something similar to load them, so I cannot right click on any of the files to download them to a folder and then open them using Reader's "Open file" option.
The file I'm trying to open is this one: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DCRTRV19.pdf
The page where the file resides is this one: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=DCRTRV19&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=man uals#/manualsTab
So, how in heaven do I open this file from my browser? (as I said, Opera, Chrome and Firefox all display the same behaviour. I haven't tried IE and I refuse to do it).
To be sincere, in Firefox the file opened once. I read the first pages and then I made the mistake of indicating to the browser that it should use the Adobe X to open pdf files. (Firefox "offered" that option out of its "own free will").
Now I have the same problem in Firefox: I see a nice blue bar that indicates the percentage of the file downloaded and, when it reaches 100%, Adobe opens and "freezes" the browser, because Reader sits there at the welcome screen and the browser is waiting for the file to open.
Of course, the help for plug ins at Firefox and Opera (I haven't checked Chrome) says simply: download Adobe Reader and that's it.
I frankly hate this behaviour: up to this date Reader has been the source of simplicity, the example of a software that does only what it was made to do, sitting quietly in my PC, churning pdf files without the slightest complain, a veritable jewel among poorly designed software.
As this unclosable welcome screen seems to me a blatant attempt by Adobe to undercut the many web sites that offer to translate PDFs to Word documents, my only thoughts are: thanks, people at Adobe! You have managed to break the unbreakable.
Can anyone help me? This day has been a nice one up to this moment...

Please let me know the following details:
1. The exact version of Adobe Reader on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader or getting the same information from the Add/Remove Programs section in the Conrol Panel. If its not the latest version of Reader i.e. 11.0.03, please download the same from: http://get.adobe.com/reader and see if it solves the issue.
2. Does the issue also happen if you just launch the Reader application alone without launching any PDF.
3. Are you using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader. If so, please remove the same and see if it solves your problem.
In case you arent sure regarding the same, please follow the below steps and see if it helps:
     a. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
     b. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
     c. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
4. Try temporarily disabling the Anitivirus software, and see if it solves your issue.

How do you open a PDF using Adobe Reader on your IPad in IBook?

How do you open a PDF File using Adobe Reader on your IPad When in IBook?

You can't. When you're in most of the PDF readers, the Share button gives you the option of Open In another app. But iBooks does not.
You need to add your PDFs through the iTunes method which Alec wrote about here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1040579?tstart=0
Or you can use another way of transferring your PDF to the iPad, like Dropbox. You install the Dropbox app on your iPad and copy your PDF from Dropbox (cloud application). It opens in Dropbox app and you use the Share icon to move it into Reader.

I can't open any pdf with Adobe Reader XI, neither online or offline - OS X

Since I've upgraded to Acrobat Reader XI I'm not able to open any pdf file.
I can't open any .PDF already existing in my Mac and also can't open anything online throughout browser (I use Safari and Chrome)
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader over and over again and it has no improving.
I've tried to install an older version and still doesn't work.
All my problems started with the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI.
As you can imagine I really need to be able to open pdf through browser, that's my biggest concern.
I'll attach the error message that appears on the screen.

Hi a.vouga,
Are you still facing this issue.
If yes, i would suggest you may create a new user profile and install Reader again and check.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.

Can I scan to PDF using Adobe Reader X?

Can I open a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 in iFrame ?Please tell me if it is possible?

Like->
I have a PDF and I want to open it for preview in the Browser and also want to edit it ,in the same browser by using Adobe Acrobat.
and I am using PHP for the Development.

It won't work, they are linked to your account and can only be played via iTunes on a computer, an iOS device or Apple TV. You might be able to get a cable to link your Mac to your TV so that you can play/mirror it through your TV e.g. if it's a Macbook with an HDMI socket and your TV also has an HDMI socket then you could try an HDMI to HDMI cable (Apple do them, and electrical stores should also have them) - I've used one to play iTunes TV programmes on my TV (though I don't think that I got sound through my TV, only my Mac).

Why can't I highlight PDFs on Adobe Reader from my PC?

I understand that if documents don't permit it, you can't highlight. However my friend's with Mac computers can highlight on every PDF document that they try to. Yet if I try to highlight on the exact same document I can't. Why can people with Macs do this and my PC can't? We have the same updated version of Adobe Reader. I'm very confused.

Thank you for trying to help. We have compared security mode settings and their Macs say that commenting is allowed, while mine says it's not allowed. I'm assuming this is why I can't highlight and they can. But I dont understand why they're different? The files this happens to are PDFs that our college classes assign as reading- so we all go to the same place to access these PDFs and save them, so the security modes shouldn't be different, but they are. Any idea why? Are Macs just enabled to do this for whatever reason and PCs aren't?

Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

I have similar issue. Did u find an answer?

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:
http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

How can I open websites that use adobe flash ?

How can I open websites that use adobe flash ?

The website should open, but the Adobe Flash will not work as there's no Flash plug-in for mobile Safari.
After some failed attempts by Adobe to work out Flash for iPad, Apple decided to forgo it, and Steve Jobs published a famous letter on the reasons why Apple would not be supporting Flash on iPad.
The fall, Adobe announced that they were abandoning Flash on all mobile platforms, including Android, and they have deprecated the use of Flash as a plug-in on Desktop platforms. Flash will be moving to become a platform for development of cross-platform desktop applications and HTML5 will replace it for web and mobile purposes.
Web sites that still use Flash will slowly move away from the technology in the next few months. Most web sites that expected traffic from mobile device users have already moved away from using Flash.

Hi lawalton,
Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.
Best,
