Can't open PDF's in browser problems?

I have Acrobat Standard 6.0 and Adobe Reader on my system.  For some reason, now when I try to open a pdf in the browswer, specifically in IE - I get the message "the adobe acrobat reader that is running cannot be used to view pdf files in a web browser" - then the Standard opens up on the task bar but no pdf.  I want it to use reader to open.
I've tried several settings but to no avail....

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the screenshots and the information.Would it be possible for you to try the following at your end.
1. Create another folder under C:\ with some Latin Characters such as Ö or ä (as being used in the redirected path for My Documents etc.). Now place any PDF in this folder and try and access the same. Are you able to access it this time?
2. Redirect the My Documents folder to some other path which does not have any Latin character and see if the issue is still reproducible.

  • I can't open pdf files in browser, even though I have installed an add-on.

    I downloaded the cloud viewer add-on for Firefox on my tablet. I am running Android 4 (ICS). I need to be able to open PDF files directly in the browser window, as the site will not allow me to download the files and open in an independant viewer. Is there any way to do this in Firefox?

    I find it odd that the browsers on the Android platform can't support this on their own. I know that Google Chrome on it's full blown version for the PC is able to do so without using the Adobe software for the embedded PDF aka using "The Adobe PDF Link Helper" . I would love to see this change especially since I prefer Firefox over other browsers.

    of course,the pdf won't open..how can i solve it? i have done uploading the pdf online and put the link in the code but i would be grateful if i can use that code..
    thank you

    You need to be testing on a server using a browser.
    To view a pdf in a browser you need a pdf reader such as Adobe Acrobat installed for the browser.  Having that allows you to save the file when you are viewing it.
    I don't know of anyone that provides free hosting services, although you might check with your ISP... some will offer you server space for personal use..

  • Can't open PDFs in browser

    Hello!
    My Mac can't open PDFs in the browser window anymore, but just offers a download dialogue.
    I already read in the forum, that it may help, to open the Acrobat Reader prefs and uncheck the "open PDF in browser window" option. The problem is though, that this option is greyed out, so I can' t uncheck it.
    And: As for me I don't need to open the PDFs using the Adobe plug in.
    I just want to see the PDFs quick and simple.
    Any ideas gladly appreciated!

    Remove the plugin from HD>Library>Internet Plugins.

  • I have Adobe Reader in stalled on my MacBook Pro but the plugin is not showing in FireFox so I am unable to open pdf's in browser. How can I correct?

    When I encounter a site that requires me to fill in a pdf form the browser opens in Adobe Reader and not in the browser. I have checked off in Adobe Reader to open pdf's in browser but it still will not.

    I do not think adobe reader works as a plugin for Firefox on Macs, ( but a PC user myself so I can not check). See [[Installing and updating Adobe Reader]]
    Note specifically comments in the Mac version of that [/kb/Using%20the%20Adobe%20Reader%20plugin%20with%20Firefox?s=pdf+plugin+mac&as=s#os=mac&browser=fx35] about alternative plugins.

  • Acrobat Pro 8.2.0 can't open pdfs in browser

    We just upgraded all our PCs (XP SP3) to IE8 and
    now I have one machine that will not open pdfs from the browser. I've tried uninstalling acrobat and tried reloading it but no luck. The thing is, when I open Acrobat and go to Edit > Preferences > Internet, the "display pdf in browser" option is greyed out. There is no way to select it.
    Thanks,

  • Can't open pdf items in safari, and can't get adobe reader installed/working

    can't open pdf documents/can't download and open adobe reader on imac

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 4
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 5
    Do as in Step 3 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.

  • Can't Open PDFs Inside Firefox

    I have installed the latest Adobe Reader 9 and want to open PDF documents inside of the Firefox browser on Vista. No matter what I do, I  always get a popup window asking me if I want to download or open in Adobe Reader when I click on a pdf file. I have Firefox's tools - options -  applications set to "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". I have  re-installed Adobe Reader and Firefox with the most recent versions. I  have manually copied the plugin dll from its Adobe directory to the  Firefox directory, over-writing the existing one in Firefox. I have  deleted pluginreg.dat and let Firefox recreate it. None of this does anything for me. My  IE, however, will open PDF files inline with Adobe Reader. Any ideas?

    I have the same problem, after installing Adobe Reader Ver 9.4.0.  Using FF Ver 3.6.12 and XP home edition.  Prior to this last Adobe installation, I could always download PDF documents from the Internet.  But now, when I try to download, I first get an all white page for a second or two and then the page goes all black and nothing happens after that.  Have tried it many times, and always get the same result.
    I can still open PDFs from those stored on my Hard Drive OK, but I can no longer open or download any PDF from the Internet. 
    Has to be a defect in the latest Adobe version.  Is there any fix for this?
    Thanks,
    ASC

  • Can't open PDF.  Program does not have valid digital signature. No valid Acrobat S/N found.

    I recently bought new HP computer with Windows 7.  I loaded my Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium.  Illustrator tries to open then just disappears.  I can not open PDF's.  Get the following message:  This program doesn't have valid digital signature that verifies it's signature.  No valid Acrobat S/N found. Acrobat will now quit.  Then: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit and try again.  When I exit - computer locks up.

    These can be frustrating.
    Try restarting your PC.
    Using a different browser.
    There have been reports that this can be due to router problems.
    A simple way round it is to get a friend to download the installer for your and put it on a USB stick.

  • I can not open pdf documents

    If I want to open a pdf document I get the following error-message:
    "Error during page elaboration. A problem occurred during reading this document (109)"
    I have Adobe Reader V8. I removed the version 8 and installed version 7, but I still can not open the document.

    I can not open .pdf documents unless I save them first.  But sometimes I can't download the file first - I get an error message that says that my version of Adobe can't open a .pdf in a web browser...

  • I can`t open PDF in Safari

    I can't open PDF's in a browser window. It's like the plug-in is not there. I have Acrobat 9 pro. I've been using Safari. Help me.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
    Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder and delete Adobe Reader Plug In (Finder-Home-Library-Internet Plug Ins---Adobe Reader plug In)
    and restart your safari.

  • Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

    Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

    This resolved my problem
    I checked and my Firefox is doing (or not doing in this case)  the same thing.  There seems to be a problem with the Snow Leopard and the Adobe browser plugin.  I was able to get Firefox working again by going to Firefox > Preferences > Applications and switching all to Adobe settings to "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the plugin.  Then I went to Tools > Add-ons... > Plugins and disabled the Acrobat plugin.  Restarted Firefox and now pdf worked.

  • Suddenly Can't Open PDFs. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab.

    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.
