Can't save PDF from Internet Explorer embedded Adobe Reader

One of our clients use an application to digitally distribute and
approve incoming invoices. The scanned invoices (PDF's) are
visualised in the webbased application by using the embedded Adober Reader 9.0 in Internet Explorer 8.0.
While there is no problem printing PDF's, on some pc's it is impossible to save a PDF. When you click on the save icon, nothing happens.
This issue has been resolved on some pc's by reinstalling Adobe Reader, but not on others.
Does anyone know what causes this problem and how it can be resolved?
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

Hi Guys,
I have Win 7 64bit as well, and I have the same problem.
A pain when you're doing research and opening lots of browser windows
with PDFs in em.
What I've found is that this is an Internet explorer issue.
Everything works perfectly fine in Firefox.
You can save, print, the works, with no problems.
Looks like Microsoft have to do something with IE.

How do I save a pdf from Gmail to my adobe reader?

How do I save a pdf from Gmail to my adobe reader?
how can i solve this?

fats vee,
Please take a look at my replies and screenshots in the following forum post to transfer a PDF email attachment from the Gmail app for iOS to Adobe Reader for iOS.
How do I save a PDF attachment from Gmail to Adobe reader?
As I mentioned in the forum post, it requires many extra steps to transfer a PDF document from the Gmail app. This is because the Gmail app for iOS does not support "Open In..." as many other iOS apps do.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pro - dialog prompt when opening PDF from Internet Explorer 9

Good morning.
I am having an issue where our ends users that have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard (AAXS) or Adobe Acrobat X Pro (AAXP) cannot open a PDF within Internet Explorer 9 without being prompted by a dialog box to OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Our user that have Adobe Reader X (ARX) only are ok. The ARX users can click on a PDF link within the browser and it will automatically open in a new tab. However, the AAXS and AAXP users will click on that same link, but are then prompted with a dialog box to either OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Has any one else seen this before? We would like it to be so that all users - no matter what Adobe PDF program they are using of the 3 mentioned - can open a PDF link by just clicking on the link and no additional dialog options appear.
The ARX users have the same Internet settings within the Adobe preferences as the AAXS and AAXP users. The check box is checked to have PDFs open within the browser, which they do, but that dialog box always appears for AAXS and AAXP users. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

Can't open PDFs in Internet Explorer 9

Hi there,
I've been having this problem for a while now, where I'm unable to open/preview PDFs in Internet Explorer 9.
Like, if I go to this page http://www.together-uk.org/work-for-us/current-jobs/ and click 'Benefits of working for Together' on the right NOTHING happends lol.
I have checked for updates on Adobe Reader X, I'm up to date. Everything is ticked off in the Internet tab of Adobe Reader X. I've tried everything I think?
Please advise,
thanks.

Works fine for me on IE10 and Firefox.
Try downloading the PDF to your local disk (right-click on this link http://www.together-uk.org/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2011/11/benefofworkingfortogether. pdf and select Save Target as...).
The problem is that the link on that website is a PHP, not a direct link to the PDF, so it may or may not work, depending on your browser settings.

Can't save pdfs from web browser

I recent;y had to reinstll adobe pro on a new computor (purchased here). Now I cannot save pdfs from my web browser. Very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

What browser, and what happens?
Are you trying to save PDF as PDF or create PDF?

When using Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader xi, I cannot find how to keep the Page thumbnails from hiding. We want them open. Please help!

In Internet Explorer, when opening a PDF using the IE addon Adobe Reader XI, the Page Thumbnail toolbar is shrunk to the left (hidden). Our users access the thumbnails constantly and we need this to remain open by default but I cannot find anywhere that this option is set. I would expect there to be a pin icon to click to keep it open. In the stand alone product Adobe Reader, we found that you can click "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." in Documents prefs but this doesn't work for new documents (only previously opened docs) AND doesn't work in Internet Explorer at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Marc

That would be something you could set at document level in document properties but would require Acrobat to make permanent.

Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

Can't save pdf from a web site - HELP!

I can't seem to save pdf files from a brokerage account. I have Reader 9, and one one PC, there is no "save icon" on the tool bar, and no "wording tool bar" -ie, no headong of: File - Edit - View, etc. On the other , there is no edit portion of the tool bar.
On the one PC that displays the picture of the floppy disc - the "save icon"- when I click on it, nothing happens. I think i have a problem with the security settings, but can't figure it out. the financial advisor company can save it just fine, so i think the problem is in my PCs.
There is a security section that says the contents of the pdf can be copied, butdoesn't work not in the file copy mode. (These are not "fill out the form" pdfs, just regular files posted to a web site to allow viewing, downloading, printing, etc. i could print, but want to save electronically instead.
Any ideas?

I have also had this problem with some different web sites - you mention that possibly it is a security issue so I added the web site I was having this problem with to my "Trusted Sites" list and re-tried saving the PDF and it worked! Don't know if this will solve your problem, but it did work for me (still don't understand why some sites work and others require an entry in the "Trusted Sites" list. I'm running Windows 7 (32 bit) and my Adobe version is 9.4.2 and I'm using Internet Explorer 8. Hope this solution works for you.

Can't save PDFs from Safari or Firefox after latest (10.1.3) update

I just installed the latest update, and now when I open a PDF in Safari, I can't save it to my computer. I get a message saying "The document XXX.pdf could not be exported as XXX." When I try to do it from Firefox, the PDF won't even open. I tried deleting the plugins and reinstalling Reader and that didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi mccradks1,
Regarding firefox, update it to version 10.0 or later and use it in 32-bit mode only.
To save pdf's in safari, please try using the save button in toolbar and see if it works.
Toolbar is present in two different forms:
1.
2. This toolbar appears when you hover the mouse at bottom of pdf screen.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

PDF's not loading in browser - Internet Explorer 9, Adobe Reader X, Win 7 x64

I have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and have a site that uses forms that need to be filled and submitted. The problem is that when I open the form, they are opening in a seperate Window.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader
I've done 'detect' and repair several times.
I have checked and unchecked "Display PDF in browser" under EDIT -> PREFERENCES -> Internet
What I CAN tell is that when I go into Internet Explorer and look at the addons I do NOT see any of the acrobat add-ons that I see on my other computers (that work).
I've looked in the program files/common files/adobe/acrobat/active x folder and all the files are there but I don't see a way to make Internet Explorer force loading those or getting them in there manually.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm at my wits end!

Thank you for this.
One you said this I checked and it was running IE 64bit.
For some reason IE*64 was the default browser (which shouldn't happen). Since IE*32 wouldn't allow me to set it as default (greyed out) I installed Chrome, set it as default browser then fired IE*32 back up, set it as default and vioila it's fixed.
I'm embarrased I didn't think of that first....
Thank you!

Talking to Internet Explorer embedded Acrobat Reader via COM

Hi all. I'm developing an Internet Explorer BHO (browser plugin) and was wondering whether it's possibly for me to communicate with Acrobat Reader via COM. I have read through the SDK docs and it's not clear whether this is possible. I'm using unmanaged c++.
I think if this can be done I think I will need to call get_document(IDispatch *p) on the webbrowser control, then using p->QueryInterface(...) to gain access to the Acrobat document. However, to do this I will need to pass in a REFIID to QueryInterface. As such I need to find some documentation on the supported COM interfaces and various IDs I will need to use.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
thanks,
Zoltan!

Thanks for your reply. We are writing a web annotation tool as an Internet Explorer plugin. The web annotation part of it is complete, and now we are looking at being able to make annotations on pdf documents loaded within the browser.
Where can I find information about the limited APIs on the ActiveX control you mentioned? Do you think we should be looking at a different approach?
thanks,
Zoltan

How to have PDF open in Internet Explorer 7 (Adobe reader version XI)

Hello,
we would like to know how to open PDF in internet browser. Our browser version is IE7, Adobe Reader version is XI.
Thanks,
Jason

XI Pro contains all of the capabilities of Reader and a lot more. If you can't see the PDF, you may have the view in browser unchecked in Acrobat, or more likely your Acrobat is not updated to be compatible with the version of IE you are using (You did not mention). There may also be an issue with the OS you are running that could vary between computers (also not mentioned). First thing to do is to go to Help>Updates and be sure you are running 11.0.09. Then check the preferences (check the Internet tab).
