Cannot open pdf with IE/ windows 7.

Dear friends, and those who understand better than I.  I have been working on this situation for over a week.  I cannot open pdf from the browser.  I tried the "patch " as discussed in a different forum, but still only get the link to open in a seperate white blank page.  Any ideas?  I dont mind going back to an older version other than 10.1.2. I just dont know how to do that either, as I have not had to work this in depth with any software for years.

Thanks for responding to this matter.  When I double click the link to open the pdf... a new tab opens with a blank screen.  It is white.  When I try to refresh, nothing happens.  I have also tried to save/download the file, and open it through that way.  When asked to save the document "pdf" is not available.  Only "all files."  However when I try to retrieve it, it says download is not available, as in... it did not download or save. 
1.  All web browser options are selected.  I have already tried to uncheck, one, and all of these boxes.  Still the same results. 
2.  I have tried several URL... All of the documents I have tried to retrieve have been within a secured website, such as salliemae.com (trying to view a 1098 for my student loan), and mycheckfree.com (trying to view bills from ComED and Nicor Gas). 
If I open an old pdf on my computer... I can still read that.   
Thank you for your time and help.  Im so frustrated, and missing deadlines!

  • Cannot open PDF in Modal window

    Hi,
    I am trying to execute the reports and open the pdf file in a showModalDialog window, but I get only blank screen. Basically, I want to open the PDF in modal window so that the URL value is not stored or displayed in the screen..
    Is there any setting required or is pdf not supported in modal windows?
    Has anyone faced such problem.
    Thanks & Regds,
    Nandakumar

    As others have said.....first, go to Finder > Preferences and make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of new windows".
    Any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down the Command Key while double-clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then a folder will open in a tab (which will probably resize the window and cause much aggravation and cursing).
    If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple double-click. (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5).  Go to any folder on the Desktop, open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar. After that, all folders within that folder will open in a new window. I tried this with the Macintosh HD Folder (which I put on my Desktop) and all folders within it open in new windows with only a double-click.
    Of course, you will lose the sidebar and the toolbar, so it's not a perfect solution, but at least you'll be done with tabs.

  • Cannot open pdfs  with adobe. receive message "adobe reader cannot open fild because it's either not

    message states "adobe reader cannot open "resume, ;wps because it's 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)

    Microsoft Word Viewer should be able to view .wps files; most likely the installation of the viewer will fix the file association.

  • Cannot open PDF with CS2

    When trying to open some PDF's with CS2 I get an error "Could not complete your request because of a program error". I can, however open sokme PDF's but not others and I can open multi page PDF's with no problems. I cannot pin point when it happens. It just happens on some but not on others.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Appreciate your answer.
    I thought so too. I uninstalled and reinstalled PDF but that did not help.
    It happens with files that are faxed to send2fax.com and I get them as PDF's (or Tiffs. Tiffs work fine).  Strange thing is that when I have a two page faxes I can open them.I though may be a photoshop file was corrupted...?
    I went through older files and I can open some buy not others. I can't find a pattern.
    If I create a file in Photoshop and save it as a PDF I have no problem.
    If I scan a file and save as PDF i have no problem either.
    May be it's send2fax.com?

  • Updated Acrobat X, now I cannot open pdfs in IE (windows 7)

    I can open them while using Chrome, but not Internet Explorer.
    I just updated Acrobat X this afternoon and since the update it won't work.
    Anyone else experiencing this? 

    Windows does not know that it should start Firefox to open those links.
    Try this first. Start IE (yes I know) and set it as the default browser. After
    close IE. Wait a few moments, then start Firefox. Then set FF as your default.

  • Cannot open pdf files with Firefox's built-in pdf viewer

    This just started (I think) with Firefox 37.01. This is on Win7-X64. I cannot open pdf files with the Firefox built-in pdf viewer. If I click on the file or try to open it from within Firefox, it brings up a "opening filename.pdf" message. If I select the "Open with" radio button as 'Firefox (default),' it just keeps looping on this process; it never opens. In Tools => Options => Applications, Portable Document Format (PDF) is indicated as 'Preview in Firefox.' I've never had any other PDF viewer installed on this computer. I've tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, but it still doesn't work. I searched for solutions but haven't found any for this specific issue.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello,
    Have you tried, to start Firefox in safemode you can do so by following these steps
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit 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 others with the same problem.

  • Cannot open pdf file with Firefox 11.0

    Firefox automatically upgrades the version I am using. Since it was recently upgraded I cannot open pdf files. Am faced with a blank page. I went through some of the suggestions on these pages and when I opened the Tools window, there is a warning:
    Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X is incompatible with Firefox 11!
    Is there a way around it? Or is it time to say goodbye to Firefox and move to Safari?

    When Firefox updates, it turns
    off add-ons that are not
    compatible with the new
    version. In addition, add-ons
    that may have been
    automatically installed by other
    programs without your
    knowledge (third party add-
    ons) have been disabled. For
    more info about re-enabling
    add-ons, see the link below.

  • Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies.  How do I reverse this?

    Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
    What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
    Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
    It makes no difference at all.
    How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
    You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
    Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size. 
    HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
    I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
    Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
    You're somewhat confused and you need to
    1. Decide what exactly you want to do
    2. Then go about it.
    If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do -  the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
    You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto
    Regards
    TD

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • With OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files with 11.0.04?

    using OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files from Xerox Docushare with recently downloaded PDF 11.0.04

    That crash is a known bug in Apple's display code.
    But it's the QuickDraw code, which Apple does not want to fix.
    There is nothing we can do about that OS bug, other than to suggest using a more recent version of Photoshop written to the Cocoa APIs.

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.
