Can't open PDFs from Skydrive

I started using Windows Skydrive and really like the convenience but when I send myself a link to another email address to check a link before I send the link to a group of parents or students, if the document the link should open is a PDF then I get a message telling me that I need to download Adobe Reader add-in.
I have a new laptop which is running Windows 7 (64bit) and Office 2010 Professional Educational Suite (if it matters.
I have all the latest Adobe software installed, including Adobe Reader X... and have No Problems with reading PDFs otherwise.
When I check if my IE is set to 64bit or 32bit, it states that 64bit is not allowed to be set as the default, so the solution that someone else had in the forum must not be the same issue as mine.
Really need a professional solution here so I can be assured my students can also open their documents!

Not quite sure from your description what the problem is.
Note that Adobe Reader is a 32-bit application, as is the browser add-on.  It can therefore only run on 32-bit browsers.
When I try to open a PDF from a 64-bit browser, the document will open outside of the browser, in the standalone Adobe Reader.

  • Can't open PDFs from Outlook Access denied

    We are trying to open PDFs from Outlook in Reader XI.  Even after disabling protected mode, continue to receive the message "There was an error opening this document.  Access denied.".  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    A. Fix One PC
    Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader X
    Go to: Edit > Preferences...
    Click on "General" in the left pane.
    Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
    You will prompted with a dialog box to remind you to close the application for the change to go into effect. Click Yes.
    Click OK to save your change.
    Exit Adobe Reader
    B. Fix Several PCs in Your Organization
    Following the above steps aren't practical if you have Adobe Acrobat installed on 1,000+ computers in 30 regional offices! Push this registry setting using your standard software deployment software.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged]
    "bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000

  • Can't open PDF from single source sender

    I am on a Mac platform and have no trouble opening PDF documents with the exception of those that come through email from a particular sender.   The error I receive when I try to open the documents from the original sender is
    Adobe Reader could not open 'Order_Ack-820.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    When this same file is sent to a different person and then forwarded to me, I can open it.
    Any thoughts on why this is happening.

  • Can't open pdf from single source & 9.3 won't install

    I receive a weekly update from a source.  Until Jan.22 had no trouble
    accessing it.  Now when I click the link it goes to the link's site but no pdf appea
    rs, just a a normal site page
    w/o the acrobat background  I am on Vista platform,and IE8..  I can access this link from my laptop Also tried to upgrade from 9.0 to 9.3.  Download finished  but installation could not be completed. Said there were files open that were being used.  I had no other files open.  I am very frustrated and
    I am not experienced enough to know what to do.

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Can't open PDFs from website. Use OS X 6.8 & Firefox 24

    Can you check your PDF viewer setting? This article describes how to switch it: [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]] (skip to the section "Using a PDF reader plugin"). If your current setting doesn't work, does another one of the options work?

  • Reader 9, blank dialog box, can't open PDF from web

    I have a newly custom built computer running XP Pro (Quad-core with 3g of ram). I have a fresh install of Reader 9 and Firefox 3.0.1. When trying to open a PDF shipping label from USPS.com, Reader opens and an empty dialog box appears with only the OK button. When I click OK, Reader closes. I cannot print my shipping labels. Please help.

    Same problem here. It took me a while, but I got it to work.
    Changing on how the content type would be handled did it for me.
    Check the image here:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Image:Fx3Applications.png
    I needed to change the entry for 'PDF Document'. I set it to the top option. Doing this and testing it right away yielded in a crash. After restarting firefox the problems were gone.
    More info on the image above: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Adobe_Reader
    My guess is that the Adobe reader couldn't handle the fact that firefox hadn't downloaded the document yet, but was still trying to get it to open.

  • Can't open PDF from flash on Vista

    works fine under XP. on Vista on the other hand it just launches
    Firefox (not my default browser) without the PDF file.
    what is the issue here? is it Vista or the fact I am using

    is there another solution to open a PDF file without a third
    party application?
    thanks

  • Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

    Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
    have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
    So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
    My machine has both on and no problems.
    Thank YOU for your help!!

    It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.
