Cant open pdf files in browser

Cannot open pdf files in browser but can open from hard drive. Using Adobe 11.0.02 with Windows 8. Have uninstalled Reader and reinstalled and then restarted PC; Checked for updates; used the Repair selection on the menu. Frustrated. Suggestions?

Hi adityabhargava01-
My first suggestion is to upgrade to the most recent version of Firefox by going to this link:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
My second suggestion is to read this article on how to many your preferences on how Firefox deals with PDFs and all other file types:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps!

    Regards

    thanks for the suggestions weather15 - the firefox help site you directed me to explains what ought to happen but i cant make it work. I shut my firefox browser on my new machine and attach the hard drive from my old machine. I can explore the contents of that drive but when i search it for the suggested folder " %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\" nothing is found. when i try and open firefox from the old drive, the browser opens that is the new version that i have on my new computer with no saved bookmarks! Am I doing everything right?

  • Unable to open PDF file in browser using Reader 9 with IE8

    I just updated to IE8 and when trying to open a PDF file on the browser, I received a message stating to use Adobe Reader 8 or 9.  I downloaded AR9 and still receive the same message and cannot open PDF files in browser window.  It defaults to my Adobe Acrobat 6.0 which will not open the file.  I have Windows XP.  I do not have a problem opening a PDF file in Yahoo mail with AR9.  I have tried many different ideas on the web to no avail.  Appreciate any help to be able to default to open PDF files in the browser using AR9 which is apparently required by IE8.

    Fixed problem by taking to a computer store to find that my hard drive storage was maxed out.  I had the hard drive repaced with a larger amount of storage.   Problem resulted from inadequate amount of storage space which prevented me from downloading and installing Adobe Reader 9.
    Thanks to al that responded.

  • Unable To Open PDF File In Browser

         I am unable to open a PDF file within my browser using Adobe Reader.  Whenever I attempt to open a PDF file, I get the following message:
    The Adobe Acrobat/Reader selected for viewing PDF documents in browsers cannot be found at its installed location, it may have been moved or deleted.
    Please reinstall or repair the application (15:524)
         I have ensured that Adobe Reader is set as my default program for opening PDF files, and have downloaded and installed the latest version of Adobe Reader.  I am running Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10.
         I have attempted to contact Adobe Reader Support and was informed that the expected wait time was 3-5 minutes.  I have been holding for over an hour without any support.

    How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then?  That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

  • I can't open pdf files in browser, even though I have installed an add-on.

    I downloaded the cloud viewer add-on for Firefox on my tablet. I am running Android 4 (ICS). I need to be able to open PDF files directly in the browser window, as the site will not allow me to download the files and open in an independant viewer. Is there any way to do this in Firefox?

    I find it odd that the browsers on the Android platform can't support this on their own. I know that Google Chrome on it's full blown version for the PC is able to do so without using the Adobe software for the embedded PDF aka using "The Adobe PDF Link Helper" . I would love to see this change especially since I prefer Firefox over other browsers.

  • Cant open PDF files. Cant open Adobe Reader x

    Hi, I am running windows xp pro. I am having trouble opening PDF files and I cant open adobe reader x. I have uninstalled several times and reinstalled. I have stoped all antivirus services.

    Could you please elaborate a bit more as to what happens when you open a PDF. Do you get some sort of an error or dialog? If so, please post the contents of the same.
    Also, please let me know the version of Reader installed on your system. You can find the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader from within the Reader application.

    Can you open PDF's in Apple's Preview application?
    I assume you mean Adobe Reader. Where are you getting Reader? From here: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html?
