Cant open PDFs from government websites with Adobe Reader X 10.1.3.

Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Keep getting "Opening 16.8Kb/0.0Kb" (for example) on a gray screen. Refresh doesn't help.

Hi Ankit... I used Windows 7 on a PC with IE9. I discovered yesterday that some will open after about 5 mins or a refresh, but for other people the PDFs open much more quickly (although others I know have the same problems I do).
This is the website that wont work well for me ... any of the reports under Latest Reports.

I am unable to print a pdf from a website through Adobe Reader on my mac. It keeps telling me that no pages have been selected - I have uploaded the latest version of Adobe with no luck and have never had this issue before !

Hi bengaunt ,
Thank you for posting on the Adobe forums, you can try printing as an image.
Open the file>Print>advanced>check the box "print as an image" OK

Opening .PDF's in IE7 with Adobe Reader 9.0 & Adobe Writer 5.0

Hi
I am running a XP Pro environment on a HP D530 machine. I have installed on this PC Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Writer 5.0. I have defaulted through the folder options all .PDF and adobe related files to open in 9.0 and done the normal 'open with' option aswell. Problem is on this internet ticker link i have/use, all the .PDF's posted on there always default to 5.0 and produce a error saying i need to upgrade to a higher version. If i leave 9.0 open then it will default to them without any issue. Is there any regkeys or files in 5.0 or 9.0 i can change so i can set all files to 9.0 Reader?
I have been told the ticker is only used to link to the files and does not have any code that dictates how the .PDF's open.
Any adive or ideas would be of great help! :-)

With Acrobat 7 you can only send out Browser Based Review, (which is replaced by shared reviews in version 9).
The reviewers will need to open the PDF inside a browser, and have access to the location of the PDF to be reviewed.
Acrobat 8 can do both types still, have a look here:

And here's a tutorial for those situations whereby reviewers do not have access to the server location of the Reviewed PDF:

How do I save a pdf from Gmail to my adobe reader?

How do I save a pdf from Gmail to my adobe reader?
how can i solve this?

fats vee,
Please take a look at my replies and screenshots in the following forum post to transfer a PDF email attachment from the Gmail app for iOS to Adobe Reader for iOS.
How do I save a PDF attachment from Gmail to Adobe reader?
As I mentioned in the forum post, it requires many extra steps to transfer a PDF document from the Gmail app. This is because the Gmail app for iOS does not support "Open In..." as many other iOS apps do.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader

Does anyone know how to merge two PDF files into one with Adobe Reader. Is it even possible?
Thanks

If you've got a Mac and OSX you can do this in Preview. Make sure you can see the sidebar with the first PDF opened, and then drag the second PDF to the bottom of the last page in the sidebar. Also you can reduce the size of your saved file by selecting (or making) a Quartz filter to 'reduce file size'
Cheers

Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?

How to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

how to combine a few PDF files into one with Adobe reader?

Hi aho,
You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.
What can I do with Reader?
Let me know if you have further questions!

I have adobe reader but cant open pdfs from emails. Why?

Getting very frustrated as recently cant open pdfs sent to me by emails although I have Adobe reader app on my tablet. Comes up with message Open file failed. Help please
Donut1950

donut1950,
Would you provide more information about your problem so that we can troubleshoot?
What is the version of your Adobe Reader for Android?
What is the version of Android OS?
What is the mail app do you use to read email on Android?
When you try to open an PDF attachment, do you see the dialog "Compete action using" with the Adobe Reader icon? Does the dialog have "Always" and "Just Once"?
Could you tell us the exact error message that you see when you try to open an PDF attachment?
Does the problem happen with ONE particular PDF attachment? Or does it happen with any PDF attachments all the time?

Safari hijacked by Adobe Reader - cant open pdfs from Safari

I would greatly appreciate any help cant seem to find this exact problem elsewhere.
I have a Macpro (new tower) running 10.9.4
A few days ago I received an email from a trusted friend which included a link. I followed the link which asked me to download Adobe Reader which i foolishly did. Since then when I try to open a PDF from Safari I get the following message "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser"
Please note I can still open PDFs from the Finder and other browser's (e.g. Opera) also allow me to download
I went to the Adobe site and downloaded Reader but it wont let me complete the installation. I fear my Mac has been infected by a trojan etc and can't seem to find out how to get around this.
So far I have tried
1) went to /Library/Internet Plug-ins - but nothing there
2) reinstall of Mavericks
Any help appreciated. I suppose a clean reinstall would help but don't want to do that just yet

Open a Finder Window.
Click on the Go in the menu bar.
Press on option on the keyboard, "Library" will appear. Click on that.
In the new Finder Window that it opens up, or the one that you have opened already. It'll show that particular folder. In that folder is Internet Plug-ins.
Check to see if Adobe is in there. If so, delete it and reboot.
I honestly thought it was in the same folder that you tried, but I don't remember at the moment. So my instructions are just a shot in the dark.

When I open a document in Firefox with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to print it (no problem when using Internet Explorer)

I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit), using Firefox 8.0. When I open a document with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to do anything with it (print, save, etc.) other than view it. When I use Internet Explorer I don't have this problem.

Not sure what you mean by truncated troubleshooting report, but here's what I copied from "troubleshooting" under "help". My printer is selected as the default printer in Devices and Printers. Also, remember that a document that won't print in Firefox prints fine in Internet Explorer.

Sequence multiple PDFs to activate comments with Adobe Reader

Hi all!
At first i would say: Sorry for my bad english - iam german.
Iam a System Administrator and one of our Business customers have multiple old PDFs (about 90GB - yes 90 Gigabytes!) and he bought Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro last month and all other Workers in his Company are using the Reader 9.
He want all 90GB of his PDFs to be enabled for commenting with Adobe Reader. But there are some one hundereds of thousands of PDFs - so iam looking for a sequencing solution to activate the commentary function in every PDF. I havent found this function in the sequence Function in Acrobat.
So is it possible to sequence it or do he has to activate it manually?
Thanks for any answer!
Greetz, Martin

LiveCycle Reader Extension requires you purchase or own a server. You
must know how to run the server, then you must purchase the product for
use in the server. It is not cheap. But it can handle 90 Gigs of pdfs.
Be ware that the size of the pdfs is not relevant. When pricing the
software you probably need to know approximately how many pdfs you need
to prepare and how often.

Cant open pdf from links?

When on the web if I click on a link to a pdf all I get is a 'page cant open' error. I can left click and save the target to my desktop then open it.
I have the same issue locally, I have several pdf's in a single folder, I created an excelsheet in the same folder and then created a link from the excel to a pdf.
The link did not work, just a screen flash and nothing happened.
Using windows7, Acrobat7and latest Norton.
I am sure I jsut need to adjust a setting somewhere, perhaps in Adobe or Norton.
By simply double click on a pdf it opens with no issues, it is just just trying tp open a pdf from a link that does not work.
Any advise?

Which browser?
I sometimes get this.
Check to make sure that the server you are downloading pdf from is serving it as an application/pdf. Otherwise it may be corrupt.
Try in a different browser, if it doesn't work, best bet is that it is to do with a plugin issue. You may need to restart.

Problem opening Form based PDF via Safari browser with Adobe Reader 9.3 on MAC

Hi,
I'm mentioning below the problem that we are facing when we open a form based PDF created using a licensed version of Adobe Livecycle Designer ES (Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496) on a MAC machine through a Safari Browser.
We tested this PDF form on a windows machine and the PDF opens in an IE browser via the latest Adobe reader 9.3 without any problem. I then received complaints by our clients that they were unable to open the same PDF on their Safari browser on a MAC machine, I tried to resolve the problem by downloading the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.3 for MAC but noticed that the Safari browser window would just keep refreshing the page without displaying the PDF at all. I then uninstalled the Adobe Reader 9.3 version and downloaded and installed an older version i.e., Abobe Reader 8.2 version for MAC and noticed that the PDF document successfully opened in the Safari browser. My question is why does a form based PDF work with an older version of Adobe Reader for MAC and not with the latest version? Our clients are not comfortable with the fact that we are refraining them from upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for MAC and that they would have to downgrade their existing Adobe Reader 9.3 to a lower version Adobe Reader 8.2 in order for the PDF forms to work when it should be the other way around.
Is there any fix or a patch that is currently being worked on that would resolve this issue in the latest Adobe Reader for MAC? If yes then when would it be ready? This issue is quite critical for our business and would appreciate it if this would be looked into with high priority.
Thanks and Regards,
Sheikh Huraiz Ahmed.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

How do I create a PDF from a website with a paywall?

I'm trying to use the "Create a PDF from the web" function in Adobe Acrobat Pro to create PDFs from a news website that I subscribe to, but whenever I use the tool, it gives me a version that truncates the articles I need — or how the version looks to non-subscribers. Can anyone help me with this? I desperately need a workaround.

In the past, specifying the username and password in the URL in the standard format (http://username:[email protected]@www.example.com) did not work when using the Web Capture plugin in Acrobat. Maybe it changed, but I doubt it...
