Downloaded Reader 10.1.3, PDFs won't open in Firefox

Hello,
I just downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.3 - installation was successful. Now, when I try to open PDFs in Firefox, instead of opening up in the browser like they've done before, I'm just getting a blank page. Before I installed the new reader, PDFs opened just fine...
Adobe Reader 10.1.3
Firefox 14.0.1 (up-to-date)
Mac OS 10.6.8
Thanks!

Reader doesn't install a pdf component for Firefox on the Mac. You will need to use a different Firefox extension.

Adobe Reader 9.4.2 - PDFs won't open in IE 8 & IE 9

The recent Adobe Reader 9.4.2 is causing issues with PDFs opening in IE 8 and 9 browsers. Prior to this update our users have had no issues with opening PDFs generated by our website.
Our website generates USPS labels using Siberix ReportWriter software. We have not released any updates for at least a month. Again, before the release of Adobe Reader 9.4.2, there was no issues with our website's PDFs opening in IE browsers.
User System Specs:
Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 Ultimate
Adobe Reader 9.4.2
Internet Explorer 8 - "File Download" window issue
Internet Explorer 9 - "File Download" window issue
Firefox 3.6.13 - No Issues
Chrome 9.0.597.98 (with Adobe Reader 9.4.2 plugin enabled and Chrome PDF Viewer disabled) - No Issues
The "File Download" window states the following (in addition to a Save and a Cancel button): "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupt or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download. ..."
We have the following workarounds to address this issue with our customers, but they are not ideal:
Update to Adobe Reader X
Disable "Display PDF in browser" Reader option
Don't update Adobe Reader 9 to 9.4.2
Install other PDF Reading software.
Any solutions to this issue would be appriciated.
Thanks

We are experiencing the same problem, as I mentioned below. I did some research and experimentation, and have a ... workaround. It's not completely satisfactory, but we will go with it until we have a complete solution. Perhaps the following will help others and spur some research in the right direction.
First, a quick review. The problem does not occur with PDFs located on disk; it only occurs with direct streaming of PDF data. Let's also note that the problem does NOT occur with other browsers, e.g. FireFox. So ... technically the problem is not an Adobe Reader problem and we're all on the wrong forum.
My specialty is databases and I'm certainly no expert in this area, but from what I'm able to gather the problem is instead with how IE is recognizing and responding to the MIME type of the streamed data. We're all setting the contenttype to "application/pdf" (or similar) or we wouldn't even be here. But I'm concluding that something - some windows update - has changed the way IE on clients or (in my case) IIS on the server is handling that data stream. If any of you experiencing this issue have servers other than IIS, then the problem is on the client side, I'd say.
Aaaaaanyway, the following articles are old, but helped me:
http://forums.asp.net/p/1036628/1436084.aspx
http://www.techper.net/2008/02/27/4-ways-to-stream-pdf-and-some-tips/
To cut to the chase, the workaround we're going with for now is to add the following to the http response header (this is C#/ASP.NET code):
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=myfile.pdf");
That causes a popup dialog to appear asking the user to open or save the PDF, something that is familiar to most everyone. If the user asks to open the file, it appears in a browser window just as it did before this problem occurred. Again, this is a temporary solution, but at least the user can see the PDF data in a browser with one extra mouse click.
If an Adobe tech support person or anyone with more experience in this area knows the final solution, I'd LOVE to hear it. Please reply here or in email.
Thanks and good luck all.

PDF won't open in FireFox/IE on XP SP3 if Rdr9.3x and Acrobat 6.06

I've been fighting this for a few days. The platform is a windows XP SP3 domain client with Acrobat 6.0.6 and Acrobat Reader 9. (The platform was recently re-installed from scratch owing to malware infestation and is now "pristine".)
I discovered that if I install Acrobat Reader 8 PRIOR to installing Reader 9, PDF files will open in the browser windows. BUT, if Reader 8 is NOT installed prior to Reader 9, the PDF file won't open and a commonly reported error message occurs.
FireFox shows that when the viable installation sequence (as above) is followed, the Adobe Acrobat Plugins installed include support for mime types: pdf, vnd.adobe.pdfxml, vnd.adobe.x-mars, vnd.fdf, vnd.adobe.xfdf, vnd.adobe.xdp+xml, and vnd.adobe.xfd+xml. If Reader 8 is NOT installed prior to Reader 9, only the pdf mime type.
The PDFs that were the immediate cause of all this trouble were PDF forms with blanks to fill-in -- if that makes a difference.
The symptoms are reproducible.
Also, if you have Reader 9 installed and are experiencing this problem, simply uninstall it, install Reader 8, then install Reader 9. The required MIME type support seems to be supplied by the Reader 8 installation and stays around when Reader 9 is installed.
Hope this helps some folks.

After downloading iphone pictures to desktop, itunes won't open. I downloaded itunes 10.6 (64bit) but get "Do you want the following program to make changes to your computer?" Apple Inc. I've clicked "yes", restarted the computer, and still no luck.

I also have the same problem, but the Software Updates tool doesn't recognise that Quicktime is out of date. Have you tried downloading Quicktime 7.7 Leopard from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime as this worked for me...?

PDF won't open in iBooks

SOME pdfs won't open...

Dear all,
My problem is kind of odd as you can see in the title...
So some pdfs won't open neither in web browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) nor in Preview. The odd part is that some do open normally both in browsers and Preview.
I deleted the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin but it doesn't solve the problem.
Anyone has an idea about what can be wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Poteyuh

I couldn't solve it. So, I just use the previous version of itunes.
As a matter of fact, everything goes crazy after update and also upgrade of OS. I have more or less the same problem now, since I upgrade my Mac OS X to the latest version "Mavericks". Eveything is slow and undesirable. It seems there is no solution for these problems.
I decide to format all the labtop and again instal the mac OS from the begining. Hope it works and get my labtop back in the previous condition.

Try close all inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
3. The app will fly off the screen

You did a d/l of the iTunes .dmg - did you install by opening the .dmg and following the dialogs?

Hi marthaciffone,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend first forcing iBooks to quit to see if that helps:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit

If the issue continues, most of the remaining troubleshooting steps in this article are applicable and might help:

PDF won't open in browser window - think it's Adobe, not FF

Hello! I have Windows 7, 64 bit, Firefox 20.0.1 and Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, both with the same problem. I have Adobe Reader 11.0.2. Earlier today I was able to open PDFs in the browser tab, this evening not so much. I am not sure what changed - to my knowledge I didn't get anything updated today. I have checked all my settings and can't figure out what's wrong. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program. The only thing I couldn't find after extensive Googling of the issue is that my Adobe Reader lacks the button that is referenced in a lot of posts for "display PDF in browser" is missing. I've included a screenshot.
In addition, in Firefox there used to be an option "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", but now there's just "Use Adobe Reader (default)" or other pdf readers (and I *hate* Firefox's pdf reader). I haven't gone too deep into IE's options since I don't use it hardly at all.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Linda

You may have used the 32-bit IE edition previously.
On Windows 7, if opened from the Task Bar, it will open 32-bit. From the Start Menu it will open 64-bit.
Open Help | About Internet Explorer to see if you are using the 32-bit or 64-bit edition.

Imported PDF won't open because it has no forms to fill but it does

Can you send the PDF form you are trying to import to [email protected] so we can take a look at it.

Adobe Reader is shutting down and won't open

Adobe Reader is shutting down and won't open, can i get some support?

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
