Cannot View PDF in Web Browser error

Using windows XP sp3 has adobe reader 9 on it...
Installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended was trouble prone enough, but now there is more...
When trying to open a PDF in a browser window, you get the following dialog error message (sample site:http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone)
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
For the cost of this program, I expected better. The above was not a problem before installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended.
Please advise.
Thanks
bob

I did a google search and found a fix that was a bunch of registry entries that worked for me:

Thanks

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?
Steve

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.

Cannot view pdf files in browser

brand new imac cannot view PDF files in browser but the PDF's can be viewed if downloaded. All the data in the PDF online have question marks instead, maybe a missing font issue?

Have Adobe Reader installed? If so, disable the AdobePDFViewer.plugin resident in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins., restart, and try again. For font-associated issues, peruse Font Management in OS X

Cannot print .pdf from web browser, being prompted to save

We have Adobe Reader 9 installed
It is being run on a Vista OS
User is able to open a pdf file and print to the printer without any problems.
The problem occurs when the pdf is opened in a browser window.
When you select the print button and select to print the document, rather than printing as would be the norm, it defaults to saving to a location.
You can save it, then open what was saved in Reader and print it.
What changes need to be made in order for it to print from the browser rather than try to save?

Hi ronquaedvlieg,
What is the current version of Reader installed on your machine?
Have you tried to install the latest version, also have you tried to check latest updated driver for your printer.
What is the problem you are facing while trying to print using Reader, are you getting any error. Attach screen shot of the error if any.
Also i moving this discussion under Reader forums.

Cannot update profile in web browser, Error: "Oops...

Using my Microsoft live account and after I login via the browser when I try to update any informaton in my profile I am prompted for my password, and when I click submit it give me an error "Oops, that wasn't the right password. Try again.' when my password is correct??? Im wondering if it has something to do with using a microsoft live account? I am not sure. Any help on this matter would be great.. Tks

I can't update anything on my web profile page. Changed my password okay but when I hit the 'edit' anywhere on the page, it pops to the top of the page every time. I have the latest skype version. I added a new email address and tried to edit so I could make it my primary one, but there are no options to click to do that. Am I the only one having update issues? Maddening to say the least! I'm new to forums or bloggy things and hope I'm contacting an Admin person and if not, forgive me. Uff

Viewing PDF in web browser in Acrobat 6.0

I still have Acrobat 6.0, and PDFs won't open in my browser (Internet Explorer). When I go into Edit then Preferences then Internet, the box for "Display PDF in browser" is checked but it's gray rather than black, so I can't uncheck it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

It may be the installation of the Reader caused the problem. Acrobat and Reader and not recommended for installation on the same machine because of some strange interactions. You might try a repair of AA6.

Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

Cannot view pdfs in Firefox. - Browser doesn't recognize them as pdfs

I cannot view pdfs in Firefox. I checked the Applications section of FIrefox preferences and instead of saying "Adobe Acrobat PDF document"- it says "Adobe Acrobat FDF document. I am guessing that the browser does not recognize pdfs because the content type is incorrect.
I am using a Mac running OSX 10.8.2 and Firefox 17.0, however I have had this problem for several months and several earlier versions of Firefox as well. Please fix this issue. According to the help center forums, I am not alone with this issue.

Thank you for your help. What I ended up having to do was to change the Action next to Adobe Acrobat FDF document to "Use Preview". Then again under the Preview.app Document under Content Type, I had to change that to Use Preview as well. It is now working. However, Firefox (Mozilla) needs to change the word FDF to PDF in their preferences file.

PDF-in web browser - open link in new window

I've done a lot of searching for JavaScript code to solve this: if a PDF is being viewed in a web browser, and the user clicks a link in that PDF, the default is to have the linked page replace the original. I would like it to open a new window in the browser. E.g., if there is a link in the PDF to abc.com, then when the user clicks that link, the original PDF stays open and a new window opens to abc.com. Any help?

In the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference look up the app.launchURL() method. The second parameter is a boolean value that describes whether or not you want the URL to open in a new window.

Cannot view pdf in safari

Since I installed Adobe Reader X, I cannot view pdf files in safari. If I click on a .pdf file on my hard drive, it will open up with Preview and I can view it. But before I used to be able to see pdf files in the safari browser. But now the browser is black and the url references a pdf file.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
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.

The Share Point server is running SP 2010 SP2 and the Exchange server is EX 2007 SP 3 I am not sure what roll up. it looks like their is a permissions issue. But could it be permissions with in SP or EX? You help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi ,
Towards the public folder permission issue, there are two permissions included, one is for the server side permission; the other one is for the client side permission.
There are some links for your reference:
Title: Managing Public Folders
URL: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124411.aspx
Title: Outlook folder permissions
URL: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/outlook-folder-permissions-HP005242287.aspx
To use Outlook Web App Web Parts, you must, at a minimum, be delegated "Reviewer" access to the content that you're opening. If you've embedded an Outlook Web App Web Part that requires authentication into
an application, you must pass authentication information through together with the request for the Web Part.
For more information, you can refer to the article:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-foundation-help/working-with-outlook-web-access-web-parts-HA101810215.aspx#_Toc296081842

Html/exe/web browser errors

Hi, When opening certain <g class="gr_ gr_454 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="454" id="454">exe</g>. or trying to install programs I get notification windows opening saying
cannot connect to this site, and do I want to save this download. When trying to install flash for instance it's now impossible because these notices have taken the place of the real installer.The same with gmail notifier and others. I had to turn it off as
I was getting continuous cannot download this file errors, and cannot connect to the web browser. Which of course I don't want to do anyway! I have done the obvious.<g class="gr_ gr_920 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace"
data-gr-id="920" id="920">Adw</g> cleaner, Malwarebytes and re-registered and repaired file associations. Still stuck and I'm totally perplexed.

Hi,
What's does your meaning by "<g class="gr_ gr_454 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="454" id="454">exe</g>. "? I'm a bit confused with your description, it would be better
to provide a screenshot for your problem.
If this is just Browser problem, you can try to reset IE for test.
Internet Options->Settings->Advanced->Reset
After that, restart your computer to check if the problem resolved.

I cannot view my site in browser or publish my site after 2014.3 update

Hi,
I updated to 2014.3 and cannot view my site in browser or publish. I see that alot of other people are having issues. Can you please assist. This is very frustrating.
I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
Thank you
Brett

Hi Sanjit,
I cannot even publish the site. Muse crashes when I try to view site in browser and it crashes when I try to publish the site. It is not the browsers - yes I have tried. It has only happened since I updated to 2014.3 - just like everyone else having problems. This is a problem with the update. I can make a new site in the new release and it works - however all existing sites built before 2014.3 release is no good. This a big problem that needs sorting out. I should not have to rebuild everything again. I have sent my muse file via dropbox, as I have seen other people having trouble being asked to send the file through and it will be looked at. The url is http://australiasnaturecoast.businesscatalyst.com/ . This is not the correct version as I made a new site in the new muse update. I need my original version to work. I have tried uninstall and reinstall of Muse and this has not helped.
Thanks

Hi Kswron,
Have you tried to upgrade IE to 10. I would suggest to install latest updates to IE and upgrade to 10 and check the issue again.

Opening PDF in Web Browser(IE)

Hi,
I have written a program to download PDF file. When user will click on "Download" link, PDF file should open in web browser IE itself. Currently file is opening in separate window. I am creating this PDF file run time and it is not stored in harddisk. In Acrobar Reader, I have checked the check box "Display PDF in browser". Despite this it is opening in separate window.
I have written following code:
byte abyte0[] = pdfGenerator.generatePDF(getXslFile(instancedata), new String(instancedata.requestResult.message, "UTF-8"));
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
httpservletresponse.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + instancedata.userId + "_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".pdf");
httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
String s = new String(abyte0, "UTF-8");
servletoutputstream = httpservletresponse.getOutputStream();
servletoutputstream.write(abyte0, 0, abyte0.length);
servletoutputstream.flush();
Kindly suggest what is required to open PDF in Web browser (IE).
Regards,
Dev

I don't see anything wrong here offhand.
In your download link, you aren't using target="new" or anything, are you?
