  • I cannot open pdf documents after installing Reader XI

    Hi I have just installed Adobe Reader Xl. I now cannot open any pdf document - the screen is blank and closes after about 10 seconds. When running the trouble-shooter it states there is a compatibility issue. I have re-installed, I have looked at my internet options settings but still cannot resolve the issue. Do you have any suggestions? I am running Windows 7 and Norton 360 Premier Edition software.  Regards Doug

    Interesting that when I installed ReaderXI I wasn't asked to accept terms.
    Cheers

  • I cannot open PDF files since installing Firefox 4. Have tried everything. Help.

    I installed Firefox 4, and now I cannot open PDF files. I have tried everything, including disabling PDF download, re-installing Adobe Reader, etc etc. Nothing seems to work.

    I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
    I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

    Hi jon123_123,
    I dont understand what you mean by opening PDF file in Adobe Air, that is platform.
    You should try uninstall Adobe Reader and install Latest version of Adobe Reader with latest updates patches and check again.

  • Cannot open pdf file after updating to 10.4.11

    I recently updated my operating system from 10.4 to 10.4.11.
    after updating, I now cannot open any pdf files. I had/have adobe 7 before the update. I thought maybe there was a problem with the program after the update so I downloaded adobe 9- the newest.
    I still am not able to open any pdf files.
    any ideas??
    thanks!
    if this is in the wrong category, please let me know.

    More than you asked for but good stuff. Permissions is buried in there somewhere.

  • Download problem with JSF: Cannot open PDF-file after opening WORD-file

    Hello,
    I have a JSP (created with Java Studio Creator) which displays a table with links to different files. Some links open PDF-documents, other for instance DOC-files (msword). I download the file as follows:
    public String downloadFile(String fileName) {
    try {
    int dotIndex = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
    String fileExtension = "";
    String contentType = "";
    if(dotIndex > 0) {
    fileExtension = fileName.substring(dotIndex+1, fileName.length());
    contentType=CONTENT_TYPES.get(fileExtension.toUpperCase()).toString();
    if(!fileExtension.equals("") && !contentType.equals("")) {
    // method that reads file to the byte array
    byte[] fileContent = getContentOfFile(new File(fileName));
    FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    response.setContentType(contentType);
    response.setContentLength(fileContent.length);
    response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\""+fileName+"\"");
    try {
    ServletOutputStream out;
    out = response.getOutputStream();
    out.write(fileContent);
    } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    faces.responseComplete();
    catch(Exception ex) {
    return ("!!!ERROR: downloadFile(fileName) - Could not completely download file "+ fileName + ex.getMessage());
    return "";
    contentType is application/pdf if it`s a PDF-file or application/msword if it`s a word-file.
    fileName contains the full file path.
    link-properties:
    <ui:hyperlink action="#{showOriginalPDF.hyperlinkShowPDF_action}" binding="#{showOriginalPDF.hyperlinkShowPDF}"
    id="hyperlinkShowPDF" immediate="true" onClick="testSubmit()" target="_blank" text="#{currentRow.value['display']}"/>
    and the code of the JS-function testSubmit() (without this function I couldn�t get the right row selection in the hyperlink-table):
    function testSubmit() {
    document.getElementById('form1').submit();
    return false;
    All pdf-links are working fine and the correct document is displayed in a new browser window. but if I open a WORD-document and after that I click on another link to a pdf-file, the WORD-file is loaded again in the new window. Only if I close the window which contains the WORD-document, I can download the correct pdf after that.
    Is something wrong with the response header (I tried "attachment" instead of "inline" too but without effect)?
    Can anybody help?

  • Cannot open PDF file after update to Acrobat Reader 11.0.1 / 10.1.5

    I receive faxes from a service in the form of PDF files.  Up until today, I have been able to open them with no problem using Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 and lower. 
    Today, I updated Acrobat Reader to 10.1.5, and it's suddenly unable to open any of those files.  I tried uninstalling 10.1.5 and installing 11.0.1, and the same problem exists. 
    I also tried a computer with 11.0.0 that had not yet updated, and it works fine.
    Apparently, it's something about this latest update. 
    The PDF files open in other viewers like Foxit, Sumatra, and Chrome with no problem. 
    Here is the error:
    The offending file can be gotten from here:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24145333/Cisco_fax.pdf
    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
    /Mike

    Apparently I was incorrect on the Cisco box, we are using something different now. We use an Extended application server attached to a Meta Call feature server. This is a known issue for them.
    "We have discovered an issue that means that the format of fax PDFs generated on most versions of Metaswitch EAS is incompatible with the latest Adobe Reader (11.0.01).  This means that when your end users upgrade their Adobe Reader to 11.0.01, they will no longer be able to view faxes received from EAS in PDF format."
    The same is with version 10.1.5. I uninstalled 10.1.5 and reinstalled 10.1.4 and the problem went away. No updates for us for now

  • Upgraded to Win 7, now can't open .pdf files after installing Acrobat X

    I upgraded OS to Win 7 from Win XP, reinstalled my Acrobat X software and now am unable to open any .pdf files created and saved prior to upgrading OS and reinstalling Acrobat X. I see LOTS of discussion here about this issue (There was an error opening this document. Access denied.) but could someone tell me in SUCCINCT terms what I need to do to restore my ability to open files I created previously. My version of Acrobat X is 10.0.0. Thank you for assistance.

    HI szwarycz,
    I will be happy to help.
    Please tell me whether you have Adobe Reader or it Acrobat Professional X.
    Meantime you can also try to go to edit preferences under categories choose General under general there is button called Select Default PDF Handler.
    Click on that button and choose Adobe Acrobat X.  Check the screen shot.
      Also you can try right click on any PDF document and choose option "Open with" their you need to choose option "Choose default application"
    then you need to search for Acrobat application. Also you can visit this Microsoft article: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7
    Regards.

  • Can't open PDF file - after installed the latest version X on windows 7 (prof) 64 bit.

    It sounds like the file association (.pdf → Adobe Reader) is not set.
    The easiest way to fix this is to uninstall, then reinstall the Reader.
    Download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

  • After activating "Click-to-play" plug-ins, I cannot open pdf files.

    In the latest release of Firefox, information about how to prevent plug-ins from loading automatically was in the release notes. I activated this in about:config. (Click-to-play).
    After that, I cannot open pdf files! When I click on a link all I get is an empty window. Reloading page don't help.
    What I can do, is to click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page. Then the pdf file loads.
    Another work around is to copy the link and paste it in IE.
    Is this a bug with "click-to-play"?

    Thanks cor-el. I have read the various bug reports and it is indeed the same. Has been known for a while...
    Anyway, I find no mention of the work-around: "Click on the button next to the awesome bar and set that plug-ins will always load automatically for this page."
    I don't know if there is a place to give that feedback.

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    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.
