Can't open PDF on any website

Hello,
Since installing Acrobat 6 professional I am no longer able to open any pdf file linked on the internet. When I click on the link I get a dialog box that has the title "Acrobat plug-in." and the content "This operation is not allowed". A new firefox window will open, but it will be blank.
There is no problem loading local PDFs files from my hard drive. Acrobat opens correctly and loads them.
I've tried uninstalling Acrobat and re-installing but it did not resolve the issue.
I tried updating Acrobat. The updater says there is a patch available so I downloaded it however when it goes to restart Actobat and install, I get a Data Execution Prevention message from Windows XP saying it has closed the program. Current version of Acrobat is 6.0.0.5.
Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Thanks.

Only seems to be a problem with Firefox. IE is OK.

I can't open PDF's from websites!!!!

Please, I need help! So, I went to attesting.com and was having issues purchasing something from them, so I went to there technical requirements and uploaded their link for Adobe Acrobat Read X. I have a MAC version 10.9.4. It seemed everything was ok. Then I went to my school's website to print a form which is in PDF form and I get this ADOBE LOCKED THIS PDF. or something like that. It doesn't say it now. Now, when I try to open a PDF from a website it says BEFORE VIEWING PDF DOCUMENTS IN THIS BROWSER YOU MUST LAUNCHADOBE READER AND ACCEPT THE END USER AGREEMENT, THEN QUIT, AND RELAUNCH THE BROWSER. So, I've un-installed Adobe and reinstalled Adobe numerous times and I STILL CANNOT GET MY PDF's. I've NEVER had any issue before. Can anyone please help!?!?! I tried contacting Adobe and chatted with someone online and he said that he doesn't help support this issue since it's not something I've paid for. I'm so frustrated and mad! ugh! Any suggestions is much appreciated!

And I've also just realized I can't open PDF's at all. Tried exporting on of the PDF forms from my school website to my desktop and it won't open from my desktop either. It's saying it's empty.

Can't open PDFs in any viewer but Quicklook works

All of a sudden I can't open PDFs in Acrobat, Preview or PDF Pen. They display fine in Quicklook, though. I can't recall anything that changed that would cause this. Ideas?

Highlight your file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Unselect the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

Can't open PDFs in Firefox

All of a sudden I can't open PDFs on my website when using Firefox, works in IE though - any idea?

In firefox you need to check two things:
1) Make sure an application has been associated with the pdf files. To do this try this:
Tools >> Options >> Applications
The first item should be Adobe Acrobate document. Click on the Actions Column to open a drop down list. Now select the default program for your documents.
2) you also need to check whether the scripts are enabled in the browser. To do this try the following:
Tools >> Options >> Content
Now Check on "Enable JavaScript" this is the third item on the list.
Now click on Advanced Button on the right hand side.
Make sure all three items are ticked.
Hope this helps.

Suddenly Can't Open PDFs in Firefox. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab. Nice timing, with finals and everything where I need to view PDFs of practice tests.

Mozilla Firefox did not do their job, here. I am an editor and am constantly online. Now, I have to go to Safari to download PDFs. I reinstalled an earlier version of Firefox to get rid of the problem, but somehow Firefox has deactivated my PDF download feature. This is a total wreck and I am so angry I could spit. Stop launching new products until you have fully tested them. Customers are not your guinea pigs. Please fix this now- and fire a few idiots on the way- the ones who let this happen.

Since the new versiono of Firefox I can get into the TurboTax website as usual but not on one of the links for Its Dedcutable on line. But with Safari I can. Same with my Bank. Can;t open PDF statements

I also have the '''pdf''' problem on all web sites. In my opinion Firefox 4 & 5 are not and improvement over FF3. I also have this concern listed on the question page along with 48 others in one week.

I can't open pdf's from web sites since I upgraded adobe reader

Since I upgraded adobe, I haven't been able to open pdf's directly from websites--I just get a black screen (in Safari, or a white screen in Firefox). I can sometimes right click on the link and either download the pdf or save it as a document as a work-around to enable me to open it.

I have the same problem. Or similar. A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work). Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use. I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files. Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway, as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can.
Any other suggestions? i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
Thanks

Opening pdf files on websites to fill them in on the website

With my iMac I can open and fill in all pdf files from websites using OSX 10.6.5. On my macbook pro using 10.7.5 or later safari will no longer open pdf files on websites and just gives you a blank black page. I use these all the time on sites from the IRS or other taxing agencies and fill in the forms and save them or print them. I have not upgraded my OS on my desktop because of this. Why is this happening and how do I fix it if it can be fixed. I talked to someone at applecare and they said the fuctionality was no longer in the operating system to do this and I can only download the pdf files. That is not sufficient because these are fillable forms on their websites. All businesses use this function and if apple really wants people to use their computers for business I would hope that their not so monumentally stupid as to write this out of the newer OS. HELP

Try another browser such as Firefox until this gets sorted out.

I can't open PDF files even though I have downloaded Adobe Reader. I am using a Mac book Pro

I can't open PDF files as the screen message says I have to reopen the computer and sign the Adobe Reader agreement but even though Adobe has downloaded I don't get any screen message indicating where I would do this.
Where is this?

after downloading, did you install adobe reader?

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
Windows:
Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
Mac:
Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.

I can not open PDF files in safari

I can not open PDF files in safari. How can I fix this problem?

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.
