Can't open PDFs on the Internet...

I use Mozilla Firefox. I had installed FoxIt Reader, then uninstalled it. Now when I try to open my math packet PDF from the internet (it's a PDF on the internet) it won't open. I get a popup saying "FoxitReaderOCX.ocx has failed to load." The actual webpage says "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled."
What can I do to fix this?
-Thanks for the help-

Re-install Foxit Reader. This is not an Adobe question since it does not pertain to an Adobe product. You could try to use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool to remove Foxit Reader completely and then try to install Adobe Reader 9.1.

  • I can't open pdf pages on internet

    I don't no why i can't open pdf files on the web anymore. Usually there was another window that would open allowing me to preview a pdf document before downloading it. Now there's just a blank page that opens. It doesn't work neither safari nor on Firefox mozilla anymore. I think it started when I downloaded adobe reader (10.1.1). It's really annoying and i have no clue as to how to solve this... Is it the plug-ins or something??
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this???

    I've done that but it doesn't work.

  • Can't open pdf online.(internet stop working)

    I have windows 7 and adobe reader X, I can't open pdf files online. Every time i tried to open pdf error message pop ( internet has stopped working ).
    Can some please help.

    I am using Chrome v 32.0.1700.76 m in 64 bit Windows 7 Professional SP1.  I recently upgraded to Reader XI v 11.0.06.

I can save the files to my system and open them, but that’s a pain.   Everything worked before I upgraded.  Any help?

  • Can't Open PDF form in Adobe Reader 11.0.3 on Mac OSX 10.8.4 Intel

    Hi,
    I hope you can help, this is driving me nuts.
    I have a PDF Form which opens fine in Windows Adobe Reader, when I attempt to open it on OS X I get the following:
    Please wait...
    If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
    For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader.

Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries.
    No matter how long I wait it will not replace this text with the actual form. I have tried installing the latest 10.x as well and still have the same problem.
    How can I debug what is going on rather than just "waiting"...?
    Thanks!

    I'm encountering the same problem on the two computers below. Email attachments will open in the same manner. Attempts to download or open PDFs on the Internet result in a black page with no content or the warning you've noted above.
    Macbook pro 15 running 10.8.4
    Mac Mini running 10.8.4
    I am able to open PDFs on a Mac pro 17 running 10.7.5. I have used airdrop to move the document to one of the above two computers. This results in the original file becoming corrupted and unable to open and the file moved to the other computer will also state that it is corrupted.
    There is clearly something amiss in Adobe and Mac working together. (And it is causing considerable frustration at this point.)
    I should add, I have the full Adobe PDF product on the Mac Mini.

  • 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.

  • Can't open pdfs anymore

    Lately I have been unable to open PDFs from the internet.  When I click it sends me to a blank internet tab.  Sometimes I am able to control click and have the option to save the file in my downloads, then have to go back into finder to open the file.  This is also the case when opening PDFs from emails.  However there are some files on the internet that will not allow me that option.  I have tried this in firefox, safari, and chrome.  All are the same.  Everything worked just fine until about 3 days ago.  Please help?

    I've been having a similar problem with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
    I would constantly get messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
    But at last I have managed to find a simple way around it.
    Firstly, without downloading the pdf, I printed the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
    Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
    I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

  • Failure to Open PDFs from the web - 'Adobe Acrobat has crashed'

    I can't download pdfs from the internet, for instance an exam paper.
    Chrome tells me 'Adobe Acrobat has crashed'
    I'm using Windows 7, any ideas what I can do to fix this?

    Hi PLAVERY798
    Temporary fix:
    --Go to Chrome plugins page by typing this in your browser: chrome://plugins/
    --Look for "Chrome PDF Viewer" and Enable it
    Otherwise, Please Use any Other browser like , Firefox or Internet explorer !

  • Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

    Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
    thank you

    Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
    Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
    It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
    How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
    How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
    How will the script recognize the year of publication?
    For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
    Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
    Best of luck.

  • I can't open pdf files.  The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

    I can't open pdf files. 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
    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, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    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.

    Can't open PDF file from iBook on MAC. error "The application “ACDSee Pro” can’t be opened."

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

  • 2 medical softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install but IExplorer succeded

    Hello,
    We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
    Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
    At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
    We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
    Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
    Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
    Thanks

    I am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
    Sorry I was not precise...
    When the file should open,
    for one application an error is happening,
    for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
    I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening  in adobe reader window...
    If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
    But something seems not finish for the medical softwares...

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,
