  • "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

    I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser.  Reader will now exit.  Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7.  This happens when trying to open  a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008.  If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally.  If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected.  I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome.  Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat.  Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

    tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
    1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
    2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
    3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
    My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.

  • Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser error

    I have a new computer and have Acrobat Pro installed.  When I try to click on PDF links in browsers, I get an error:
    Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser.
    I want to be able to open these links using Acrobat Pro.  What can I do in Internet Explorer so I don't always receive these errors, and so pdfs automatically open using Acrobat Pro?

    Because it was not designed for Windows 7 doesn't mean it cant run.
    If you install the applications as administrator, you shouldn't have problems. I have installed both Reader and Pro versions on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit without problems, as long as I did it as administrator. You right click on the setup and select Run as Administrator. You don't need to do it for updates if you go through the update option on the help panel.

  • "use pdf reader name" choice is not shown even after deleting "mimetypes.rdf" file

    Multiple tabs open when attempting to open PDF files. Have updated Acrobat Reader to latest version X. Have followed trouble shooting instructions to select from drop-down menu the choice "use pdf reader name" (tools-options-application- Adobe). Followed the additional instruction to delete the "mimetypes.rdf" file if the "use pdf reader name" choice does not appear. Have deleted the file, and the "use pdf reader name" choice still does not appear. Can't open pdf files

    Hi tulip,
    I have changed the product because it seems that you are taking about the Firefox for Desktop Browser. If this is incorrect please post back with a correction.
    I also understand that you are downloading songs, and instead of the save dialogue, you are being taken to a black page to play the song. Please see if this happens in Safe Mode, as well when you troubeshoot any default programs if you are using Windows.
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    Please try this:
    # Right click on the sound file/link
    # Select, Save Audio as
    # Select the file to download it in and click save.
    Please also see this for more troubleshooting steps. [[What to do if you can't download or save files]]

  • When using pdf reader a message "notes recording" and the time running appears . What is this?

    When I use the pdf reader application a message in the upper ribbon says "notes recording" and also time time running. What does it mean?

        Let's make sure your Smartphone stays smart and keeps your apps working, Jennifer! Can you tell me exactly what it shown about the bot? Did this start after installing any recent applications or updates? Please try a soft reset by holding the Power and Home keys until device restarts.

  • Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your web browser ...

    Hi,
    Why am I receiving this message?
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    Reader 8.1.2
    Firefox 3
    I think it only happens the first time, when the AcroRd32.exe process is not running. After clicking OK, the PDF loads in the browser anyway.

    A look over of some Adobe TechNotes may be helpful re: Window 7 and Adobe applications.
    In general - Installing and using Windows 7 with Adobe applications.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/508/cpsid_50853.html For Adobe product operating system compatibility.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/OScompatibility.html For Adobe Acrobat products.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/faq/
    "Do Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9 require updates to be compatible with Windows 7?"
    This states that Acrobat 9.2 and Adobe Reader 9.2 are required for compatibility with Windows 7.
    Look over "What about older versions of Acrobat and Windows 7" for upgrade information.
    Keep in mind that the browser add-in that interfaces with Reader / Acrobat is placed when the Adobe application is installed.
    So it too is bounded by the Reader / Acrobat version's compatibility with a given OS.
    In short, if running Windows 7 & if Acrobat 9.2 and Adobe Reader 9.2 or better is not installed you can expect to encounter "issues".
    Some may be addressed by work arounds.
    Be well..

  • I cannot use Adobe Reader to open PDFs in protected webpages

    Hello,
    I just downloaded the application Adobe Reader in my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.0.2). My problem started when I tried to open my school BlackBoard Learning system (Safari showes a thumbnail of a lock in the top bar meaning page has some security constrains) and then I wanted to access some PDF material. Unfortunately, I couldn't open it through the application. The bar that should appear once a page with PDF is opened did not appear!(The one that says 'Open in ') I really need a solution for this since most of the content there is in the form of PDF file.
    Thank you in advance.

    You could try going to an Apple store to ask them about this.
    It's important to note that there are no browser plugins in Safari, so until the "open in" button is touched, only Safari is involved and the opening App does not have a chance to see the file until after the file is downloaded and handed off. If the bar isn't showing up in Safari, it could be one of two things:
    1) A bug in Safari
    2) The website may not be returning pdf content correctly (or at all). Some websites try to detect the presence of a browser plugin before sending a PDF. Since there are no plugins to Safari, this detection would fail on mobile browsers. In this case, the website owner should update the service to serve PDF's to mobile browsers.

  • Cannot use Adobe Reader "Mail" button to send via Yahoo mail.

    When trying to use the "mail" button in Adobe Reader (or do File -> Send File...) to send the file via Yahoo e-mail, I get the following error:
    "An unknown error occurred while uploading the attachment."
    Adobe Reader 11.0.10 for Windows.
    Getting this error only on Yahoo e-mail accounts
    Getting this on multiple Yahoo accounts on multiple PC's. 
    All PC's have current versions of Reader (11.0.10), all Windows 7/IE11 with current patches.
    A client of ours was using this until last week, when it stopped working.
    It is not working on any PC right now with Yahoo mail.

    Hi johnc46494667,
    Please let me know whether you are getting this error since an Adobe Reader update.
    Are you signed out of other accounts (except yahoo)?
    Does this happen with every PDF file or any particular one?
    Hope to hear from you.

  • CANNOT USE ADOBE READER

    I downladed the latest version of the free Adobe Reader. However, I am unable to downlad any PDF documents from any websites. What can I do?

    Hi ,
    If you are unable to download a file then it has nothing to do with Adobe Reader . After downloading , if you are unable to view or open the file , then it is an issue with Adobe Reader.
    Please check in your downloads folder , if the file is downloaded or not .
    Try changing your browser to download the file properly first.

  • I cannot download pdf reader

    I do not know why, the Reader is no more on my laptop. I try to get it by download and it does not work

    Hi forumdellaida,
    Where you trying to download Reader from, and what happens when you try? Are you receiving an error message?
    For starters, please log in to your system as an administrator, disable any antivirus software, and then try to download from http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Cannot use Adobe to view pdf in your web browser

    Running Acrobat Standard 8 on a Windows 7 machine with 4 gig of memory.  Upon installing Acrobat 8 on Windows 7 I get a pop-up window everytime I try to open a pdf in a web browser.  Using IE8 and FF 3.5 both give me the same error.
    "Cannot use Adobe Reader to view pdf in your web browser.  Reader will now exit.  Please exit your browser and try again. (attached)"
    Thanks in advance
    Darrell

    I'm having the exact same problem. After clicking OK on the dialogue the pdf file loads just fine.
    Checked the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe key - Acrobat is pointing to the right place. There are no references to acrord32.exe in the registry at all.
    I've removed, reinstalled and installed all the latest patches, but nothing seems to help.
