Difference between opening pdf in IE and from Acrobat Reader?

What is the difference between opening a pdf straight from a link in IE and going file open in Acrobat Reader, does one use the settings in IE and one use the settings in Acrobat Reader? I have a problem with some files on a company website which take a very long time to download when you click on them to open from IE but when they are saved to disk and then opened they are fine?
Using Acrobat Reader 9.0 with windows XP SP2
PS opening the file from the website works find with Adobe Acrobat 8 but not with 9.....

Not sure about the exact differences but loading pdf files to view in a browser seems to have a high overhead (as in memory required to load and display the file). For that reason I prefer to view all pdf's in the reader. It's just quicker to load and smoother when scrolling to read.

  • Cannot open PDF file after update to Acrobat Reader 11.0.1 / 10.1.5

    I receive faxes from a service in the form of PDF files.  Up until today, I have been able to open them with no problem using Acrobat Reader 10.1.4 and lower. 
    Today, I updated Acrobat Reader to 10.1.5, and it's suddenly unable to open any of those files.  I tried uninstalling 10.1.5 and installing 11.0.1, and the same problem exists. 
    I also tried a computer with 11.0.0 that had not yet updated, and it works fine.
    Apparently, it's something about this latest update. 
    The PDF files open in other viewers like Foxit, Sumatra, and Chrome with no problem. 
    Here is the error:
    The offending file can be gotten from here:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24145333/Cisco_fax.pdf
    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
    /Mike

    Apparently I was incorrect on the Cisco box, we are using something different now. We use an Extended application server attached to a Meta Call feature server. This is a known issue for them.
    "We have discovered an issue that means that the format of fax PDFs generated on most versions of Metaswitch EAS is incompatible with the latest Adobe Reader (11.0.01).  This means that when your end users upgrade their Adobe Reader to 11.0.01, they will no longer be able to view faxes received from EAS in PDF format."
    The same is with version 10.1.5. I uninstalled 10.1.5 and reinstalled 10.1.4 and the problem went away. No updates for us for now

  • PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

    I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet.  The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is  trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17.  I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI.  I did double check for updates on both products and installed them.  Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?  If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

    Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
    1) Click ADVANCED
    2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
    3) Set DPI to 300
    4) Click OK
    5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

  • Difference between opening PDF within IE with pressing SHIFT key and without SHIFT key

    Hi,
    I want to know when we open a PDF file within Internet Explorer it is using ActiveX control AcroPDF.dll behind the scene.
    Now If I open PDF within IE with keep pressing SHIFT key the behavior is different then without pressing SHIFT key?
    Is AcroPDF.dll behaves differently in this situation?
    Thanks,
    Twinkle

    I've saved two files on my desktop:
    f1040.pdf - downloaded from www.irs.gov - 187 KB
    afmod07.2.1g.pdf - downloaded from my intranet - 1,04MB
    I've powered off my PC and restarted for each file. I've opened files with double-click on them. I've encountered the same problem, when double-clicked on files in task manager two Acrord32.exe appeared, the PC was doing anything for about 10 second, after that I've encountered no activity in task manager (numbers not vary) for other 10 seconds (like freeze) and after that other about 10 seconds of loading. So after about 30 seconds the file opens with stand-alone Acrobat Reader (11.0.10).
    If I retry now (after the first slow startup "of the day") the file opens in 2-3 seconds.
    So:
    - first open of the day or rebooting PC: 30-45 seconds
    - second open of the file: 2-3 seconds
    This is happening only with PDFs with forms.

  • Opens pdf with windows media not acrobat reader

    When I try to read PDF files, windows media opens not Acrobat reader, although I have checked acrobat reader to open these files.

    fwiw - A combination of Acrobat / Adobe Reader that are not the same release is not recommended/supported by Adobe.
    As long as you have to use Acrobat 9 it'd be best to stay with Adobe Reader 9.
    Good to know is that the Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013 and is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
    Be well...

  • How do I open pdfs in iBook and not Adobe reader? (OS X Mavericks)

    On iOS devices, I can save and read pdfs in iBooks. How do I do it in the new application for OS X Mavericks?

    Hello there, FootballTechGeek.
    The following Knowledge Base article shows how this can be done:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11329
    Particularly:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

    PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.
    I'm currently on OS 10.4.7 but This has been an issue for some time and I believe was the case with Reader 7.0.7.

    FIXED!
    Priner Setup Utility/Reset Printing System
    Then added priner again.
    Interesting that the only issue was printing from Acrobat Reader and that this fixed it. Probably deleted and "rewrote" whatever file was at issue.

  • Difference between F.35 Receivables amount and FBL5N report open items

    Hi All,
    There is an amount difference between f.35 receivables amount and fbl5n open items amount, I have observed that there are some changes to credit master like risk category and credit representative group, so I thought if we run f.28 it will be right but still difference exits.
    If anybody has come across similar issue or if you have any idea on this on how to analyze, please let me know.
    Regards,
    RK.

    Hi ,
    Please check the time horizon in credit check used. then compare it with FBL5n.
    May be there will be difference in comparison period.
    Program RFDKLI20 or F.28 is to run when there is changes in Assignment from company code, entry in customer master data, entry in sales area data, user exit., currency of credit control area , Assignment of customers to credit accounts.
    And
    Program RVKRED09.--> only the risk class was changed it is sufficient to run

  • Differences Between SAP PDF and Normal PDF Files ???

    Hi,
    In SAP, we are converting Delivery Outputs to PDF and getting with another win32 application using RFC.
    However, PDF's taken from SAP don't work like other PDF's which Created with Adobe PDF Creator.
    For Example,
    I have a delphi application which converts PDF files to image files (JPEG,TIF). Normal PDF files converting normally but SAP PDF Files can't convert.
    What's the differences between "SAP" PDF Files and "Adobe PDF Creator" PDF Files.
    thanks
    ibrahim

    I believe that the converter internal to the system is based on a specific release of the adobe software, whatever was current at the time of release.  In newer releases, the converter is probably upgraded to the newest release of adobe.

  • What is the difference between Open hub destination and Info spokes

    what is the difference between Open hub destination and Info spokes?
    Please seacrh the forum before posting a thread
    Edited by: Pravender on Aug 16, 2010 11:17 AM

    Hi,
    When a user initiates open hub extraction by creating an InfoSpoke, behind-the-scenes activity involves OO ABAP which is calling classes to determine each of the different components involved in making the open hub extraction possible.  In particular, this enhancement will focus on 2 standard classes: one used to determine file destination name and path and the other to control the user interface of the InfoSpoke which will ultimately allow the user to enter his/her own filename and path.
    The open hub service enables us to distribute data from an SAP BW system into external data marts, analytical applications, and other applications. With this, we can ensure controlled distribution using several systems.
    The central object for the export of data is the InfoSpoke. Using this, we can define the object from which the data comes and into which target it is transferred.

  • Difference between open quantity and delivery quantity

    Hi all,
    Please anybody explain me the difference between open quantity and delivery quantity My question is both are same in the value or different I need to report these 2 fields based on date.
    open quantity is available in table vbbe
    delivery quantity available in table lips.
    for open quantity i have one select statement.
    for delivery quantity i have another select statement.
    i want to club these 2 fields into a single report.
    please clarify my doubt.
    regards
    chandu

    Hi,
    Open quantity is nothing but the quantity which we have at the DAY starts.
    Delivered quantity means which was delivered on that DAY.
    So Opening qty - Delivered qty = Closing qty for a DAY.
    Again this Closing qty will be the Opening qty for next DAY.
    I think based on POSNR u need to club both the quantity in single report.
    select vbeln posnr matnr omeng mbdat into itab from VBBE where....
    select vbeln posnr matnr lfimg mbdat into itab1 from lips where....
    loop at itab.
    read table itab1 with key....
    move:....to itab2.
    endloop.
    Thanks.
    I hope this will help you.

    Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3.  They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4

    If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?
    E.g. I buy it in BestBuy, I still can take the iPad Air to the genius bar if there are problems for the iPad?
    Thanks!

    Yes, as long as you buy a new device from an Apple Authorized reseller (which BestBuy is) then you have the normal Apple one year warranty with it.  Apple will honor that warranty in any of their stores, and anyone with any Apple device is welcome in any Apple retail store with questions or seeking help.

    What is the difference between "viewable/ printable payment history" and my "payments received history"? Shouldn't my "payments received" (money verizon got from me) be my "payment history"?

    I have not directly myself. One of the reps put me on hold while they said they spoke to finical services. He said they would not turn off my phone while he (the rep) looked into the problem. He couldn't give me a phone # to call him back the next day and told me he would call me instead on my home land line phone #. But what I got the next day was a text message that started with" DO NOT RESPOND" to this text message and it said that I was past due on my account, and that it was due immediately. signed out again with only his first name and no phone # again. Thing is he promised he could help in my first conversation with him, where I had started with "can I speak with a supervisor as I did not want to have to repeat the whole spiel again as he was going to be my third time". He said he was authorized to take care of all & any problems and I did not need a supervisor. I took him at his word and said OK. Turns out like I said earlier…I wasted 2 hours on the phone. Can't find him as I don't know what call center and no last name. I should have gotten that up info front. Hindsight is 20/20.
