Can't open pdfs direct from firefox, have to save it and then open with reader.

cant' open firefox pdfs direct
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about the last time there was an upgrade

Hi Nikoo,
Are you opening the PDF files in Reader or Acrobat (or in a web browser)? If you open in Reader, there are different options on the Tools panel from what you see in Acrobat. If you need to edit a PDF file, make sure that you open it Acrobat.
Best,
Sara

I can´t open pdf-files from firefox.

When i try to open a pdf-file from firefox nothings happens.
The problem started when i downloaded Firefox version 8.0.1.
In safari it works.

Your PDF reader plug-in is quite old. Make sure to update your plug-ins (Adobe Reader, Java, Flash, etc.) 
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
The latest Adobe Reader plug-in for Mac Intel is 10.1.1 and you are using version 7.0.9

After updating my firefox now I can't download PDF files from websites. I keep getting the error Adobe Acrobat/REader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. My Adobe is the most recent version. I don't know what to do about

I can't view PDF files in firefox anymore.

Can't print PDF directly from safari!!

When a PDF opens in safari with Adobe Acrobat 7.0. I can't print it off. It will only print a page with the URL of the PDF file on it. I have to physically save the file, then open it in Adobe or Preview to print it.
Just updated to leopard.
Also, the little printing window that usually pops up on the dock when you print something and then quits itself after printing doesn't quit itself anymore. I have to actually select it and quit it myself. It's very annoying.
Thanks

Can not create .PDF directly from file

I just reinstalled Acrobat 9 (9.5) to a new computer. I cannot create a PDF directly from a Word or OpenOffice document. When I look at the "convert to" or "convert from" tab the file extensions are not listed. I was able to do this before. I tried repair installation with no luck. How do I fix this?

Does anyone have idea?

I have Adobe Reader XI but I can not read a pdf online, I must save it and then open. This never happened before.

The system attempts to download the pdf, but it is a dark grey screen. I can save this as a file and then open it using Adobe. Why two steps? I should be able to read the first one. This is extremely annoying.

Can't download PDF files from Firefox or Safari

When I click on a PDF from a webpage it has always downloaded and opened with Preview. Recently (potentially correlated to when I had to download Adobe Acrobat) the PDFs won't open at all.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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.

I have 5 devices authorized to my itunes account. 2 of them crashed but I am unable to authorize my new pc. From what I can see it looks like I may have to "deauthorize all" and then re authorize my current devices? Please help!

I have 5 devices authorized to my itunes account. 2 of them crashed long ago. Now that I have a new pc, I am unable to authorize it. I think from what I've read that I should "deauthorize all" and then go back and authorize my current 3 devices. Is this correct? I have tons of music and need to make sure I won't lose anything. I would sure appreciate the help! Thanks!!!

No that is not correct.
Devices do not count toward the 5. Authorization is only for computers, not iphone/ipod/ipad/Apple tv.
You do not authorize or deauthorize devices at all.
If you have reached the limit of 5 authorized COMPUTERS, then deauthorize all and the authorize the active COMPUTERS.

Can't send mail directly from firefox via outlook 2010...

I can't make my outlook a default program with my firefox

You need to export from WLM and yes, the headers will be blank. If you have an old computer with OE on it, you can export to Outlook then move the pst to the new computer.
Diane, I just purchased Outlook 2010 and have a serious issue with losing the header information when exporting data from
Windows Mail. It seems that Microsoft recently fixed this problem (partially) which I found referenced on a different site. I went to the control panel (I'm using Vista), and ran Windows Update. After updating both the Important and the Optional items, I went
into Outlook 2010 and imported my mail and contacts from Windows Mail. The header information does now import correctly. However, in WM there is a column which shows you from which of your accounts an email arrived. In Outlook it's called "Category". This
information remains lost after the migration, and the entire column is empty (though new emails that are downloaded do get tagged properly). Can you tell me how to re-import my messages without losing this information? Would using your workaround of importing
the files into an earlier version of Outlook solve this problem? If so, which version should I use?

Error opening PDF files from search results webpart on anonymous SharePoint 2013SP1 site with IE

Clicking search results, in the strict sense pdf files, using IE on an anonymous SharePint 2013SP1 site, I received the error: There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I would like to solve this problem on the server side.
Starting position:
SharePoint 2013 SP1
Web Application:
based on template 'Publishing Portal'
Anonymous Access enabled
Claims based authentication: Integrated Windows Authentication NTLM
Client Integration disabled
Site Collection:
Anonymous Access enabled for 'Entire Web site' => group 'Anonymous Users' was created
added permission to open items: $Web.AnonymousPermMask64 = "ViewListItems, ViewVersions, ViewFormPages, Open, ViewPages, UseClientIntegration, OpenItems"
Client side solutions:
c1) Open Link with “Open in new tab” or “Open in new window” => OK
c2) Disable IE Add-on “Adobe Acrobat Sharepoint OpenDocuments Component” => OK
c3) Set bDisableSharePointFeatures to 1 in regetit => OK
Server side solutions:
S1) Turn off Client Integration => didn't work, still same error
S2) Modify DOCICON.XML => didn't work, still same error
I gave these two options a chance:
first: <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" OpenControl="SharePoint.OpenDocuments"/>
then: <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>
I modified DOCICON.XML on both hives 14 and 15.
Remarks:
- After changingparameters I allways did an IISreset.
- As far as I understood I can only change bDisableSharePointFeatures on Client Side.
Any help, suggestion, idea wellcome!
Thanks!

Hi folks, here's the reason for my problem. I used the oob search result web part. The result items (PDF items) are rendered by the template Item_PDF.html/Item_PDF.js. This template holds a code snippet that assigns a certain OpenControl to the PDF item - that's hard coded. So, no matter what you configure in DOCICON.XML, the PDF item will be opened with the control "PdfFile.OpenDocuments". Solution is e.g. just to leave the OpenControl blank.
template:
/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Item_PDF.html
/_catalogs/masterpage/Display Templates/Search/Item_PDF.js
code before:
ctx.CurrentItem.csr_OpenControl = "PdfFile.OpenDocuments";
code after:
ctx.CurrentItem.csr_OpenControl = "";
Enjoy

How do I tap what is sent from Firefox when I press Refresh and then Resend the info, in order to recover lost text in a forum message?

Hi
Here's my problem
I wrote a text message in a forum site and pressed send.
Then a new page is loaded saying there was an error and I should press the back button to reload the previous window.
I know from experience if I do this I will loose all the info I just wrote. However, if I reload the curent page, the info is sent again as I get a question asking if I want to resend the info. Unfortunately the problem then reoccur.
What I would like to do is to catch the info that is resent, i.e. my written text, so I can start all over and reuse it. The info is somewhere there inside the firefox cache, history or whatever.
How can I extract it?
Firefox version 19.0.2 on windows 7
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank you, Thomas

Yiihaaa!!!
Found a program named Fiddler2 that captured the network traffic on my computer in a nice way. Reloading the page and resending the data popped it up in fiddler, and using the built in textwizard function brought me the text back exactly like I wrote it, with swedish special characters and all.
Fiddler2, what a great program! :) :) :)

Why Acrobat Reader doesn't open pdf-files from Safari?

I'm new Mac user and cannot find answer why I cannot open pdf-files directly from Safari. My Macbook OS X 10.9.3 and Safari is 7.0.4. Only way to open pdf-files is to download the content first and then open it. If I try to open it directly Acrobat says "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement". I have downloaded Acrobat Reader several times already and cannot understand what I'm doing wrong.

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 or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk 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
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
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 by pressing 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 5
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 6
Do as in Step 4 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 pdf files from my hard drive

I have a problem. I'm using windows Vista Home Premium. When I'm trying to open pdf file saved in a folder on hard drive "open with" window appears. I click browse, then \Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRD32.exe, then ok and nothing happens. I have "open with window" with no changes. Just like I didn't choose any program to open pdf file. Pdf files should be associated to acrobat reader after instaling but they are not. I can't associate them manually. Everything works fine when I'm opening pdf files in IE7 or run AcroRD32.exe and then file->open. The same was with Reader 8.1.2. I uninstalled it and install 9.0.0 but it didn't help. No idea what to do. Please help.

Have a look at
http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/236/1/Unable-to-open-PDF-attachments-from-Windows-Ma il.html
It looks like you have to remove any existing associations before
trying to apply the correct ones.
