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

When I click on the link, I get a blank screen. If I switch to Safari I can open PDFs, but not with Firefox. Can you help?

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?

Downloaded adobe reader for mac, but can't open pdf from websites

I just downloaded the Adobe reader for Mac, but can't open any pdf from websites. I've already deleted the previous version off of my computer. I even intstalled Adobe Air Reader as well, but nothing is working. Please help! =(

In case you have Safari version 5.1 and above, please have a look at :http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90885.html
If this is not the case please see if the safari has 32-bit mode enable. More info at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50983.html

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

Opening PDF from website only opens in browser, want it to open in Acrobat Client

So after this most recent update 11.0.03 we have this is issue where the PDF will not open in the Acrobat client. I found the adobe article where it tells you to disable the IE plugins and that should force it to open in the client but that is not working...
I've tried repairing Acrobat then trying again. Same issue. If I have the IE plugins enabled it opens fine in Internet Explorer 10 but just refuses to open in the actual client unless I download a copy and open it locally.
What I need is for when someone goes to open a pdf from a website I need it to open in the actual Acrobat Pro client...

Acrobat is opening PDFs in the browsers, IE11, Chrome and Firefox. I am using Foxit now so it doesn't matter. I can also open many pdf files in Foxit and have tabs. Acrobat opens a new acrobat window for every file, this is not acceptable to me.
Thanks,
Abe

Can't Create PDF "from file" using any MS Office files

Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro. (OS = XP), as part of the CS3 premium edition.
I can no longer get Acrobat to recognize any of the MS Office applications extensions (.doc, .ppt, etc...) for use with either Create PDF "From File" or when using the Combine Files feature to Merge or Package. The extensions are no longer even listed as an option in the dialog box, or in the Preference settings under "Convert to PDF".
FYI- I can still use the PDF Maker functionality from within the MS Office application to create a PDF.
Any Idea what could have happened, or more importantly how to fix?
***Update***
I have re-installed the Acrobat 8 application, and the problem still exists.
I'm truly puzzled.

I get this with my PC and I ran detect-repair and reinstalled. Some PDF's I can open and other's I cannot. I can send the email to a cohort and they can open fine.
"Can't create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder"
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!

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 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 in iBooks using os5.

Saves to shelf but won't open. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I saved (2) them from an email. I could not open or name it. One overwrote the other, it looks like. First time I have tried to save them. I will try to download a PDF menu from a local restaurant to try it out.
Ok a pdf worked from a website. I can open that. So it's me and not the iphone (which I already figured it would be)
How do I save and open a PDF from an email? I just get a blue book that says "new". But I can't do anything with it.

I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
can anybody help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Can't make PDFs from Quark using Acorbat 8

I am using Quark 9
My acrobat is version 8.0
When I go to "print" to PDF, Quark prints places the file in it's printing cue.
It then stops.
I click resume printing and it begins to print but then stops and disappears from the cue, never creatign a PDF on my desktop.
Why it stops in the cue is beyond ne, it shoudlnt do that.
My os is 10.7.5
By the way, I can make a PDF by exporting from Quark as a PDF but that yeilds a very big file size wise.
For example a 50-54 meg PDF for a front of a standard size color postcard.
I need to be able to create a PDF of any documentI am working on and one thats a basic PDF, fro example a PDF of the postcard I am working on should be around 1-2 megs
So, I need help in getting acrobat to work properly for me with Quark 9
Any help appreciated
Jack Frisch

I use Quark's print window.
I set "printer" to Acrobat 8 and PPD to acrobat 8
I then do standard printer settings: I position my document as centered etc etc.
I then click Print
I've used Quark and Acrobat for uses on sight at jobs as well as home.
I've never had any issues.
I have'nt been able to get my current mac at home to work.
I'm tired of exporting my documents out of Quark as PDFs under Quark's "file" menu, its not the corrct way and doesnt provided control liek the Quark print window
It works ok ubtcreates very large file sizes, which is not alwasy good for me

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 PDFs from mail or saved to desktop.

I can't open any pdf file from mail. This is the error message I get..."The application “Adobe Reader” failed to open the attachment “HRA-Reg-SC-2009.pdf”. Would you like to save the file to disk?"
Then it says it "you cannot open this application because it is not supported on this architecture. Can anyone help me? Here I get a new computer and can't open pdfs

Could be an adobe issue. Is it up to date? Within Adobe in the Help menu, try repair adobe installation. In the mean time, right click on any pdf and Get Info. Under open with, change it to preview.
