Cannot use firefox to read pdf files

I get an error massage when I try to open a pdf file. Says it cannot read it in my browser. The funny thing is, that most times, it does open the file anyway! But unfortunately not always.

Hi petrea9,
Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There is a lot of useful information in there and some troubleshooting tips. You might want to check to be sure your reader is updated.
Hopefully this helps!

  • Is anybody having problems reading PDF files

    Having a problem reading PDF files. Is there a workaround?  Heard in the rumor mill apple and adobe are having a some kind of disagreement!!!

    What exactly is your problem?
    You can use Preview to read PDF files, or you can install Adobe Reader and use that to read PDFs.

  • Install Adobe Reader but cannot read PDF file

    Hi all,
    I am new and not familiar yet with forum so excuse me for a duplicate posting at
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b65e89/6
    which is a thread "cannot install Adobe Reader". Since mine is a different problem, am transferring what I posted there into a new thread, which is as follows:
    ===============================
    I cannot read PDF files with web browser so uninstalled and reinstalled with Adobe Reader 9
    I still cannot read PDF file with web browser. After clicking on a link that is a link to a PDF file, I just get a blank page
    Why and what can I do?

    AOL used to have a lot of problems with PDFs, hope that has not returned. Anyway, the PDF was probably sent as a text file rather than encoded as a binary file. That would make it corrupt and is a problem on the senders end. Older versions of Outlook also had problems with PDFs that would cause a problem on your end.

  • How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader instead of google?

    Firefox is unsucessfully using google to open pdf files.  How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader?
    Message was edited by: veeryTalonted

    "Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
    Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
    Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
    Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.

  • Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?

    Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?

    Hi Keith,
    PDF Pack is a conversion tool which would convert PDF to different formats and vice versa. It cannot be used for reading PDFs.
    If you want to open and read PDF file you can use Adobe Reader.
    You can download Adobe Reader from below mentioned link.

    let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Is it possible to read PDF file data by using Webdynpro Abap?

    Hi,
    I have an requirement, where customer will upload an PDF file on an application and i need to read some data from pdf file.
    The pdf file contains only text data in tabular format.
    In past i developed an application for uploading data from Excelshet by using WDA . But just wondering, whether it is possible to upload the data from Pdf file also. ( Also if not possible then what could be other way to read PDF file data in abap)
    Regards
    PG

    NB - the "data" that is returned by these classes is the data as defined in an adobe form - it doesn't return the content of non-form PDF documents.
    The PDF must be an interactive form ( although that doesn't restrict you to using the SAP process for creating the form is my understanding - but I could be wrong. )
    Edit - I was wrong! ONLY PDF documents that have been created by the ADS can have data extracted using these classes. So unless you are using Adobe interactive forms - then you will get no value from this functionality - and if you're using AIF then you're probably just use the standard UI element

  • I am unable to read pdf files using Acrobat Reader on my MAC OS X. Any suggestions?

    How do I read pdf files using my MAC OS X?

    You can read pdf files with preview. Select a pdf document, right click on it, and choose Preview. You can also get info and select to choose Preview for all.
    You can also install Adobe Reader 10.1.3 for Lion. It will also install a plug-in to read pdf docs in the browser.

  • Cannot read pdf files

    My operating system is Windows Vista and the version of Adobe Reader I have is 5.1, but they are incompatable; therefore, I cannot read pdf files.  Is there a fix?

    That is definitely a very old Reader version!  Uninstall it, then install the latest Reader for Vista, which is 10.1.9

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

    I uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox 7, but still get a blank page when I click on a pdf file link. I have no trouble reading PDF files stored on my PC. I use Foxit Reader.
