Error Box when Opening PDF in Browser

Ever since I installed CS4 Web Premium on my new Windows 7 32 bit install when I try to open a PDF in the browser it opens a Blank Error Box (like a javascript alert box, but with nothing it). When I close the box I just get a white page. If I hit refresh the PDF opens fine. If I try and hit the URL directly again, the problem is back. The same happens in all my browsers: IE8, Latest FF and Chrome. I can download and open PDFs just fine, but trying to open them in a browser window always does the same no matter what site I am on.
Perhaps related, but possibly not ... I also have similar behavior from Flash. Some sites with Flash elements on the screen give me what appear to be debug messages. I have seen this happen in all browsers, but it doesn't happen with all flash, just some.
I checked my add/remove programs and all I have installed is:
Adobe Air
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium
Adobe Flash Player 10 AciveX
Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin
Adobe Media Player
Any idea what might be going on with this? It is getting really annoying.

Sideo21, you said "...C:Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe", but there is no option to change it."
I had tried the other steps but didn't work for me. However, here's what worked for me.
Like you, I also have Adobe X V10.1.2 (on Windows 7 64-bit), and the path is showing 10.0 and there is no option to change it. (I think this should be edit-able). My path in Adobe preferences was missing the \Reader directory, so I copied the AcroRd32.exe from the actual Reader\ directory and pasted it into the \Reader10.0 directory so that the path matches. Now, when I open a PDF doc from Chrome V16, the PDF document opens up fine and there are no error messages.
Thanks for the hint Sideo21.

Browser Crashing when opening PDF inside Browser

I have a Windows XP Pro SP 3 with IE 7 , Acrobat Pro 9.
My issue is that whenever I open a PDF inside the browser I get a error message stating that the browser crashed / stopped responding and needs to close. The work around that we have been using was simply inside Adobe going to edit> preferences> internet> unchecking view PDF in browser.
We are launching a new application that requires a PDF to be displayed inside a browser. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
This issue also happens with Firefox, and I have removed and reinstalled adobe several times.
Thanks,
Adam

To clarify what you posted:
When opening the PDF document, your browser closes. When pressing the control key and opening the document, you get a dialog window (with the choices of open or save). What happens when you select open?
This is browser behavior, nothing to do with this being a PDF file. Which browser and which platform? If you are using IE7, popup blocker is automatically enabled, and if you are viewing this on a 2003 server, you have server security settings to override. Pressing the control key allows popups.

Error box when opening editor

I have had Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for only a few weeks, but have had to re-install it once already due to this problem. It has risen again. As soon as I open the editor, an error box pops up, saying that photoshop has stopped working. The program closes. This happens after the program works perfectly fine for a few days after the install. I have tried Ctrl+Alt+Shift to delete preferences, they have deleted and no change has happened. Please help me.

Please follow the steps listed on blog: http://psekb.blogspot.in/2013/04/pse-editor-is-not-launching-windows.html
Please let me know if your issue still persists.

Error when opening pdf in browser (3:1074724867)

Hi,
I get this errormsg always when i try to open a pdf file in my browser (both in IE and FF). I just updated adobe 2 days ago and when i download the file, i can still open it. i reinstalled adobe reader x and tried to repair it, but nothing helped. I also checked the pluginoptions in FF, but there was everything ok.
I hope you can help me!

Blank box when opening pdf within a webpage

Often, but not always, but TOO often, when I try to open a pdf document within a webpage, the pdf is shown as blank white and a single blank box pops up. The only option is to hit OK, which doesn't do anything. There's no error code or message. Just a blank box. It was happening with google chrome so I went to internet explorer and it was okay, but now it does it there too. It even happens with my stamps.com account which connects to the internet but I would hardly consider it a browser. I use Windows 7 and Acrobat 9 Pro. Somebody PLEASE help me! I've had this problem for weeks... but it's inconsistent - like one time out of twenty there's not a problem at all. Maybe it's a compatibility issue? Is there some kind of upgrade that will solve the problem? Any input is appreciated!

What version of Acrobat 9?
Or, which "dot version"? Adobe's Acrobat support of Windows 7 begins with dot version 9.2.
(See: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/faq/ )
--| Version 9.3.3
--| Version 9.3.2
--| Version 9.3.1

Error message when opening pdf attachment in Outlook 2003

I have several computers in my network running different version of Adobe Acrobat...Adobe 6.0 standard, Adobe 7.0 standard, Adobe 8.0 standard and pro, and Adobe 9.0 standard and pro. The problem I am having with a few of my end users is that when they receive an e-mail in Outlook 2003 with a pdf attachment from certain companies that we deal with in the insurance industry, they receive an error message saying they can not open the file...
"Can't create file:XXXXXXXX.pdf. Right click on the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check permission for the folder."
The strange part about this is they can forward the e-mail to another end user that may or may not be using the same version of Adobe as them, but the other end user has no problem opening and viewing the pdf attachment (also, if the company sending the e-mail sends the same e-mail to another end user who has no issues, they can open it with just fine) Now here is where it gets really strange... if the end user that can view the file saves the file to their hard drive, then sends it back as the same attachment in an e-mail back to the end user that could not open the file originally, now that end user can open and view the pdf attachment. I have three end users that this affecting and they each have a different version of Adobe Acrobat with all of the latest updates. I am stumped and searches so far have revealed no solutions...
Any ideas?

The can only open it on their machine if they save the pdf attachment after renaming it. All computers on the network have the latest Outlook 2003 updates, so it puzzles me that only three end users with the same version of Outlook 2003, with the same updates, are not able to view the attachment from Outlook, but the other users can. Also, why do those three end users have to rename the file if the save it to the their computer to be able to view it, but no one else has to. And, it is not every pdf attachment either, just some from certain people that send them an e-mail. Really puzzling issue that I need to get resolved...

Error Occurs When Opening PDF Documents Over Home Netrwork

Installation: XP/SP3; Adobe CS2 Premium (Acrobat Professional 7.1.0); Wireless Home Network with Cisco Router; shared My Documents folder stored on the Desktop PC.
Problem: PDF documents created locally with Adobe Acrobat and stored in the My Documents folder on the Desktop PC can not be opened by my laptop PC when they are accessed over the home network. The error message received from Adobe Acrobat is “There was an error opening this document. Access denied.” There is no error number. Click OK is the only option. However, the same PDF documents can be successfully accessed and opened using the Desktop PC.
PDF documents stored in the shared My Documents folder on the PC that have NOT been created locally using Adobe Acrobat can be successfully opened over the home network and by the Desktop PC. All other non-PDF files can be successfully access and opened over the home network.
Is there some setting within the Adobe installation that is blocking access to locally created PDF files over my home network?

John - in viewing Properties the key difference is under the PDF Tab. The
PDF documents that can't be accessed over my home network do not have any
entry for the application that created the document, and the PDF Producer
section is also blank. I also discovered a PDF document created on my
laptop and stored on my Desktop can be successfully accessed by the laptop
over my home network as well as the Desktop PC, and the PDF Tab has the
correct information. It would appear there is incorrect option or corrupted
application with the Adobe software on my Desktop.
Can you provide some additional guidance on how best to provide you all the
creation options in Acrobat?
Thank you.

Error message when opening pdf in Photoshop

Does anyone know how to get around this error when trying to open a pdf in Photoshop:
Could not open “[file name]” because of a problem with the file-format module interface.”

Well, then the scanner software might produce faulty pdfs.
Why do you use jpg?
jpg is a lossy compression after all.

I have always had trouble (including error messages)when opening pdf files from a website within Firefox

More often than not when I open a pdf file from within Firefox the file fails to open (often you get an error message. "there was an error processing page. A file I/O error has ocurred"). Sometimes the file downloads but is only white pages. I usually then right click the file and save it to my desktop but this is cumbersom!

Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
# Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
# Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
# Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
# Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

Random "Internal Error Occured" When Opening PDFs

I have a user that since yesterday morning has been having random "An internal error has occured" errors and Adobe Reader X crashes out. He tells me that it doesn't happen on every PDF he tries to open and on the ones that it does happen if he keeps trying to open the file it will eventually work. Though when it does it might not display properly or it will cause Reader to freeze. In his words, "It's not always the same result with each file."
I've been reading around at all the 'internal error' threads (seems fairly common!) and it seems that it could be something nice and simple from a permissions error, which I can't see it being this because then it wouldn't work at all surely? And then there is complete hit or miss fixes like reinstalling or a reg fix!
Can anyone provide anymore useful information!?

Hi chen,
I have executed the function modules.Its throwing the floowing exceptions.
SPBT_INITIALIZE is throwing the exception INVALID_GROUP_NAME Message number BT - 831.
Function modules SPBT_GET_CURR_RESOURCE_INFO , SPBT_FIND_FREE_SERVER, SPBT_GET_CURR_RESOURCE_INFO are throwing the exception PBT_ENV_NOT_INITIALIZED_YET message number BT - 838 .
How to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Adobe Reader 11 - error message when opening PDF's

I have an iMac OSx. Using Adobe Reader 11. Everytime I open a PDF I get "an internal error has occured" I was trying to uninstall Adobe Reader 11 but the uninstaller in my Applications/Utilities is not there. HELP!!

It's almost identical to what you posted. I think the difference was that I was trying on a machine with complete install of Acrobat which has the font packs and hence there was no hang/crash. Your file doesn't hang on that machine either.
If you look at the fonts panel in your document: File>Properties>Fonts, you'll notice that it uses MS-PGothic font which is a Japanese fonts, and hence the Japanese font pack might fix this.
Also, since you mentioned ACE.dll, the other possibility might be that there are conflicting DLLs on the system, commonly referred to as DLL Hell. Another thing to try would be to search the system for ACE.dll and see which all software install it.

Open PDF in browser causes blank error box (Windows 7)

I just freshly installed Windows 7 today. I then installed Adobe Design Premium CS4, including Adobe Acrobat Pro. I use IE8 and Firefox 3.6.
FYI, this problem does not occur in Windows Vista or lower...only Windows 7.
The problem is that when I click on links to PDF documents that open in a browser window, a blank error message box will sometimes popup and nothing else happens (see blank error box below). But other times when I click on the same PDF, it will open just fine. I tried opening it four times in a row, and it worked 3/4 times. Then, I did it four times again, and it only worked 1/4 that time. Totally random.
So I tried clearing the browser cache - no luck.
Tried reinstalling Adobe Reader 9.3 - no luck.
Tried uninstalling Adobe.com and Adobe AIR - no luck.
Tried both IE8 and Firefox - both randomly showed the blank error box.
The PDF documents are being rendered through PHP, so I also tried changing the PHP header(), but the same blank error box kept randomly showing up.
What in the world is going on here?

Guys,
There is a simple workaround for this. Just DON'T "Display PDF in a Browser". At first I was going to have all the users in my company Right-Mouse Click and Save PDF to their Desktop. But then realized it's just simpler to have the PDF open in the Reader and it gets around the problem fine. This is a great workaround until the whole Windows 7/IE8/Adobe PDF situation mature a bit.
In case you forgot the instructions from John, here's how:
Open Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (Pro):
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> UNCHECK the "Display PDF in browser"
This worked for our company. Hope it works for you.

PDFs with active hyperlinks become disabled when opened in a browser

I created pdfs with hyperlinks from Indesign CS6, and they work when opened in Acrobat. However, my client uploaded them to their website and had the pdfs open from within the browser. Then, all hyperlinks become disabled. Is there any way to force them to stay active when opened in the browser on their website, or do they have to make them "downloadable" pdfs?
Thanks.

"Preview in Firefox" means all PDF files are processed through and rendered by the Firefox PDF viewer.
As you have noted this in-built PDF viewer is somewhat less than ready for prime time (similarly with the in-built PDF viewers available with other contemporary browsers).
Eventually these browser vendors may deploy something that actually has some greater measure of ISO 32000 compliance.
Until then always configure all browsers used to make use of what is provided with an install of Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Be well...
