Cannot preview PDF

I have Acrobat 7.0 Professional along with the LiveCycle Designer. When I want to preview my form the "PDF preview" under view and the layout editor is greyed out. How can I get it to function.

Are you able to view PDF's within your web browser? Do you have previous versions of Acrobat installed, or uninstall them prior to installation of v7.0?
Probably best to troubleshoot in those areas. You could always save the form from Designer and open in Acrobat separately, albeit not a glamorous workaround.

Cannot preview PDFs

Help. I cannot preview PDF files in IE10 using Adobe Reader XI

Hi,
Snow Leopard has done some changes to that process.
Have a look at this MacWorld article http://www.macworld.com/article/143023/2009/09/combinepdf_snowleopard.html

Cannot preview PDF files in MS Word

After downloading Adobe XI I cannot preview PDF files from MS Word file list

Word cannot and will not open or preview PDFs because a PDF IS NOT a word document or text document.
If you try File>Open and choose a PDF you will see a page full of Unicode which makes up the PDF. That I guarantee will be completely useless to you.
PDFs open in Reader and Acrobat (or Foxit - but that's not an Adobe product)

Cannot preview PDF in Designer 8.1

Hi,
I'd just recently installed FoxIt (an alternative to Adobe Reader) to test compatibilities and what are the limitations. It's good for viewing but not for dynamic PDF or even extended PDF.
It also seems that it corrupted the preview tab in the LC ES Designer and I cannot now preview my forms anymore directly. The LC ES designer, however, will open the browser to preview the form. the error message I'm getting when I try to preview or, even open a new documnet, is the following:
"There is a problem With Acrobat/reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." Shortly after that LC ES Designer crashes!!!
How I can return my designer to it's initial state?
[Note1: I'm currently running Windows Vista and I have Adobe Reader 8.1 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1]
[Note2: I have done the following in the shown order:
1. Uninstall FoxIt (I've test LC ES Designer again and the problem still exits)
2. Upgraded Reader to 8.1.1
3. Uninstall LC ES 8.1
4. Install Acrobat Professional 8.1
5. Install LC ES 8.1]
You help is highly appreciated.
BR,
Yasser

I'd suggest uninstalling Reader, and reinstalling.
It sounds like FoxIt is hijacking some of Reader's registry entries. Upgrading Reader probably won't fix these, but uninstalling and reinstalling may.

After the latest update 10.9.2 my macbook pro wont preview pdf in safari or chrome?

After the latest update 10.9.2 on my macbook pro I cannot preview pdf in my browsers (safari and chrome), I can save the pdf and view it later though. As an example I cannot preview it in my gmail, instead of adobe little icon there is a question mark.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application 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.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 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.

Previewing pdf files in Windows 8

I have a new Samsung Ulimate laptop with Windows 8- Nice machine but not fit for purpose as I cannot preview pdf files in Windows Explorer- every file just has the pdf icon with no preview and only the filename to differentiate them. Is this a known problem. Is there a reliable fix?

Not for 64 bit systems, it doesn't seem it was ever expected to work.

Windows 7 acrobat pro 9 preview pdf in explorer

I cannot preview pdf files in windows explorer, I am using acrobat pro 9, windows 7 64bit

hey help. I have the same problem. when i clicked "accept" acrobat simply closed! i tried it again --> same problem. I'm trying to view a list from verizon BIOS.

I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link. Neither Safari nor Firefox will work. If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview. I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

I'm going to re-state this. Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE. Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it. The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem. The problem lay within the Update. Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website. This happens on both Safari and Firefox. If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview. This is happening only on my iMac. My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Does this help with Firefox?

Help! Pictures are not shown when saving to PDF. Cannot Preview Print Job.

I guess you need to fix it
Or if you would like some help provide some information - there are no mind reader supporting this forum and we can only work with the information you give us - right not that is "it does not work"
iPhoto has no "save to PDF" function - exactly what are you doing? and what exactly do you want to do?

Cannot preview office attachements in Outlook 2010

I just installed Office 2010 Home & Student and Outlook 2010. But I cannot preview any Office files in Outlook. It says "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it". PDF attachments preview just fine.
When I go to Trust Center settings and view "Attachment and Document Previewers...", I don't see anything specifically related to office in there.

Hi,
From your description , I understand that you cannot be previewed any Office files in Outlook because there is no previewer installed for it.
So based on your current situation, I would like to recommend you uninstall your Office 2010 and Outlook 2010 completely use the KB article link.
How do I uninstall Office 2003, Office 2007 or Office 2010 suites if I cannot uninstall it from Control Panel?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
then reinstall your Outlook 2010 separately.
Sincerely,
Harry

I can no longer open any attachments that are sent to me. I click on and get cannot preview (but have had this for ages). I am clicking on download and nothing happens. It does not download. I clicked to install a new version after updating and clicking repair. But still the attachments won't open including invoices I have received today. It is all attachments not just pdfs.

Then most likely it is not caused by Adobe Reader.
Anyway, perhaps someone has some idea, if you give us some details: operating system, browser, email client, ...

Hi,
Try repairing your default PDF handler.
You can check your default PDF handler by opening Acrobat / Reader --> edit --> preferences --> General --> Select Default PDF Handler
You can repair the application by clicking on Help--> Repair

Cannot open PDF files on Mac

I cannot open PDFs on my Mac but can open the same files on my PC. When I create a PDF from the computer and when I send it to our office printer as a scan-PDF, I cannot open either. Have downloaded Adobe Acrobat, etc., and still waiting for a response from them. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Don't use Acrobat, use Preview. Preview is already pre-installed on your computer. If you cannot locate it, type Command-Shift (opens Spotlight) and type in Preview and hit return.

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 in Safari

Can someone please help.
I cannot open PDF files through Safari. I've read some of the other comments on the same/similar issue and I have tried those steps and have been unsuccessful. I still cannot view PDF files through Safari, in fact, the Preview doesn't even open. When it worked the preview icon would pop up in the tool bar at the bottom of my Mac Book, but it no longer does that. Here is what I've tried;
Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
Removed Adobe from applications and deleted.
Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
Went to internet preferences and un clicked enable plug ins.
Not quite sure what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

Hi Roxana ..
Which Mac OS X do you have installed and which version of Safari ??
Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
You do if you want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files.
Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
There are two libraries. One is root /Library
The other denotes your Home folder ~/Library (the Tilde character represents your Home folder)
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
If you see the Adobe PDF browser plugin or just PDF Browser plugin, move that to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
