Can't open large (5M+) pdf files in Firefox 4

When I try to open a large pdf file Firefox gives up after awhile. Files smaller that 5M seem to be OK. I have updated my Acrobat plugin and set my internet preferences to display pdf in browser.
I didn't have this problem in version 3.6.

I was able to get mine working by disabling the "Adobe PDF Plug-In for Firefox and Netscape..." that was installed by Adobe Acrobat. It's in the Firefox Add-ons Manager > Plugins section.

Can't open large layered pdf files. Not enough memory

I have a large 300 M layered pdf file that when I attempt to open eventually pops up the "not enough memory (RAM) message.
I am on a windows XP Power Spec computer with 1.97 GB RAM I have allocated 1106 MB for memory useage, 12 history states and 8 cache level.
I have a 187 GB Seagate exterior harddrive as my main scratch disk and a mirrored main drive C with 154 GB of free space as my second scratch disk.
I also experience a canvas disapearance occasionally when using the polygonnal lasso tool. I can be clicking along and all of the sudden the image disapears until I click again. Annoying but not unworkable.
Any ideas?

I can open psd and other file formats of equal size but not pdf's. I switched the scratch discs around to see if that helped but still am getting the same issues

How can I open and print PDF files?

How can I open and print PDF files?

With the free Reader if they are not print protected. With Acrobat otherwise.

Can I open an encrypted pdf file from Dropbox with my iPhone, iPad, or iPad Mini?

Mac OS 10.9.3 encrypts a pdf file using Acrobat XI, then sends it to Dropbox. Mobile device retrieves encrypted file from Dropbox. Then can mobile device user open (unencrypt) the pdf file?

George, you wrote something that encouraged me to try to encrypt a PDF document again using the security icon on the menu bar of my old Acrobat 8 Professional. It worked this time (it wouldn't encrypt on my first try, and I wrongly assumed that it wasn't compatible with Maverick OS). I dropped document into Dropbox, retrieved it with mobile devices; and when I tapped on the document, it simply asked for the password and opened perfectly. When moving to a different screen, then back to the secured PDF file, one must re-enter the password again (which is good).
As far as what PDF viewer -- I don't know. I have the Acrobat Reader APP on my devices, is that the reader the document is using?? I've never figured out which APPs are running at any particular time on these devices.
Many, many thanks for your reply!!

Can't open password protected PDF files.

As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

Adobe Reader X 10.1.1: Can't open or download PDF-file from bank

Hello,
I make internet banking and try to download a PDF-file from the HTTPS-page of my bank. If I click on the Java Script-link to the PDF-file the PDF-file does not open. I can also not download the PDF-file. I talked with the bank support and they told me that they had no such problem.
Thank you for your help.

I am getting the exact error trying to down load bank statements but when I go to 'uncheck' the "Do not save encrypted page to disk" box it is ALREADY unchecked. Can't get my bank statements down loaded. Any other suggestions. Need help quick.

I can't seem to upload PDF files through Firefox 5.0

I have not been able to upload a PDF file through Firefox 5.0. This has occurred with two different websites. It appears from the error messages that the file is not being identified as a PDF file, but is labelled something else. DOCX files are uploaded appropriately, but I must use PDF also. Thanks.

Thanks Murray for getting back to me!
I've been using DW CS4 since Dec. 2010 to design and upload the store site with no problems until this past week.
I update the site once a month, during the last couple of weeks I've used DW to design 2 new pages, but this past week when I went to upload the pages I noticed the remote view was different. The remote view did show the 2 new files, including pictures, but not all the other files that I normally see, including the index file.
Plus, there are folders I didn't see before, CGI, DropBox and about 6 others.
On the 2nd pg. of the main site, I put a link to past editions, the URL looks like this... http://www.landmarkantiques.com/July2011.html
I can't think of anything I might have done to cause the change, so I'm at a loss as to why and what might have caused it.
I have DW CS5 that I have not installed, and I'm a little worried about making that transition since this has happened.
I appreciate your taking your time to look in to this for me!
Regards, Mary

Can't open links in pdf file 9.3.2

I have installed Reader 9.3.2 and all of the sudden I can't open links within a pdf file. I get a block message and it doesn't give me the option to choose Allow. When I go to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager > Settings everything is grayed out. I had to revert back to 9.3.1 for it to work again. Does anyone know the fix for this. Our 9.3.2 install was streamlined into a 9.3.0 msi package and then installed through a GPO.

same problem here.. but I figured it out.. Believe it or not, if you just wait 5-10min it will come up. I also "End-Task" on some exe that start or had "3D"in the name and after that adobe would come up fast when opening pdf's. Think you need to disable some of the internet related items under preferences.

Can not open multiple Adobe PDF Files at same time

I am having trouble with opening multiple .PDF files in Adobe. Once I have one (1) PDF open, when I try to open another file it opens and then instantly force closes that file, but leaves the original PDF file open. There are no error notifications or anything - its as if you never tried to open the other file. In short I can only have one (1) PDF open at a time. It does not matter whether I try to open the file straight from the directory or whether I go to File -> Open -> find file and Click OK. The same thing happens either way.
Things I have tried already:
1) Restart Computer (I think this is SOP for computer issues. LOL)
2) Closed all adobe session and end processes (in task manager) for all adobe related processes (that I can identify).
I am running Adobe 9 Professional on Windows XP. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
I would appreciate any help anyone can provide. I have tried researching this issue on this and other forums without finding a similar thread/issue.
Thanks!
Mel

Are you using any plugins, like PDFlyer?

Can't open or download pdf files

Much of the time I am unable to open pdf files on websites, or download them. Sometimes it works, but mostly not. When downloading doesn't work, I get a window with the front page of the document I want displayed, but I can't scroll to other pages, and it doesn't download. (I have it preferences set to download to my Desktop, and normally download other types of files.)
When I click to display pdf files, I get a new Safari window with a Quicktime logo in the middle.
I have re-downloaded the lastest version of Adobe Acrobat reader, incase that helped.
I have been living with this, thinking it's one of the prices of using Mac, but surely there's a solution?

Can someone help me with a similar problem? Safari
used to work fine, but now, when I click on a link in
a webpage that should give me a pdf file, I just get
a blank page with the url for the link showing above
in the address space. There is no download happening
at all. I find I can download them using Explorer,
but I don't want to use Explorer. I have OS 10.4.8
and Adobe Reader 7.0.5. Thanks for any help.
After reinstalling Safari, etc., I tried installing the Schubert plug-in mentioned in an e-mail above. It didn't work until I went into Adobe preferences and turned off the instruction telling it to display downloaded pdf files. Suddenly, voila! I'm downloading files fast into the browser, and can save them fast to my desktop. So, thanks, whoever it was that suggested that little plug-in.

These are the "out of the box" file formats that you can view on the iPad as mail attachments. If the file is not listed here, you cannot view it without a compatible third party app. What is the file extension?
Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)

Can't open or preview PDF files in outlook 2007

I recently did all the recommended security updates for Office 2007. Since then I can't open PDF files anymore in Outlook. When I double click a PDF attachment I get a 'Attachment security warning that the file may contain a virus' The only option is then to save the file on the hard disc and open it from there, which works, just a bit complicated.
Also the auto preview for PDF doesn't work anymore.

You are a gem now I can read my PDF's would have never picked that one :o)
