FDF file opening in Internet Explorer--not in Adobe Acrobat Professional XI

Good morning!
I have created a form in Acrobat Professional XI and have a submit button that emails that data back as an .fdf file. This is working as it should.
However, on some of the returned emails, the .fdf file is opening in Internet Explorer--not in the associated file in Acrobat Professional XI.
Is this the default? Is there a way that I can specify that it always opens in Acrobat?
I looked on line, and found where you have to associate that type of file with Acrobat
I have Windows XP
in My Computer--in Tools, Folder Options, File Types, I have where FDF files are associated with Adobe Acrobat.
Are there other changes that need to be made?
We have a work-around--we can import the file data into the form--just takes a little longer.
I tested this before I posted the form online, and it worked perfect. Now that it is online, we are seeing some snags...
As always--Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your quick response!
no--it is an fdf file. Has an .fdf extension.
One difference that I have noticed that the file that is opening correctly (in acrobat) was sent from a gmail account. The file that is opening in internet explorer was filled out in Adobe Reader XI from an outlook email.
This is the window that appears when the file is opened.
On the Tools--the only items that are accessible from this screen is the AddOnTools--not all the tools sets.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

LLBs opening in Internet Explorer not Windows Explorer

Labiew 7:
Having enabled the option "Enable Windows Explorer for LLB files", I've noticed that clicking LLB files actually opens the library in "Internet Explorer" rather than the "Windows Explorer", which is a minor nuisance.
Does anyone know why this might be, and is there anything that can be done about it?
I've checked the .llb file association and I can't see any way to change the "explorer" association.
Note: I'm using LabVIEW 7 on Windows XP. Some time ago, when I was previously using NT4, I'm sure LLBs opened in Windows Explorer as expected (not Internet Explorer).
Any ideas anyone?
Mark.

That's a new one.
Just out of curiosity, what does it look in IE when it opens it.
Try unchecking the option, restart Windows, then check the option again
and restart again and see if that fixes it. Somehow the association is
messed up and this might fix it.

Print Preview missing when PDF opened through Internet Explorer

No preview - no option to print. This is now affecting 4 of my computers so I'm assuming there is an update that is causing this. It is effecting different versions. One computer has Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0. Another computer is running Internet Explorer 10 and Adobe Reader 9. Both are having the same symtoms. Here is an illustration.
Normally it says "Preview - Image", also notice the xxx on the bottom of the preview and to the bottom left of the dialog box. If I save the PDF and open it directly (outside of Internet Explorer) it works find. Also using Firefox it works fine. I believe its an update because its happened on 4 machines so I don't think its from someone changing settings. What do I need to do to Print? Help.
Thanks,

I very much doubt that this is the way things are meant to work. If I open the pdf in Safari and rightclick>open it with skim, Skim displays the proxy icon, as Preview used to.
Btw, the file's path still points to a tmp folder (webkitpdfs)
So this is either a bug in Safari or Preview (because it impairs functionality), or, hopefully, there's some hidden preference somewhere which you can change and reactivate the proxy icon.
Have you verified this as a Safari bug by checking that it works with FireFox?

but my client asking why URL not open Internet explorer and moreover third party they given WSDL that file is open in internet expolerer.so
my question is why third party WSDL open in Internet explorer and why PI generated WSDL file not open in internet explorer.
please guide me where i did wrong and what should i answer to my client regarding above issue.
I hope,could you please clearly given points.

Hi,
Firstly, you should not give the host name and port name of the URLs that you are using. It is your company's security issue.
And the message that you get for the wsdl , when you open in IE is nothing wrong.
The wsdl can be of two types. One is a design time wsd, where you will just see the structure, importing and exporting parameters. It does not have the binding parameters within the wsdl.
When the same wsdl is implemented, then it has a binding with the backend system. It becomes a runnable entity. The wsdl generated from your PI system is one such entity (It is tied to a backend and is a runnable web service). Hence IE shows that message.

Mostly websites are not open on internet explorer and other browsers in my laptop

mostly web sites are not open in internet explorer and other web browsers in my laptop.

Rob,
Many thanks for your reply. It is appreciated greatly. I have added text against each of the points that you raise.
troubleshooting Addons is somewhat complex.....as from this side we do not know which addon may be causing the problem, so the
only recourse is to disable the types of addons that commonly cause problems in IE (for security and usablility reasons some older addons that you may have used previously with IE8/XP are no longer compatible with newer versions of IE that you are now using)....
The following instructions will stop your Toolbar and Browser Helper addons from loading in IE.
Start>Control Panel>Internet Options>Advanced tab,
uncheck "enable third-party browser extensions".
close any open IE windows and restart IE for the changes to take effect.
[GotaQ: Yes, did this but the problem then is that IE won’t open for me. There is no icon in the start menu or task bar
and routes such as using a command prompt or ‘run’ instruction don’t work. When I try this I get a window on screen that flickers for a bit and then disappears.]
Alternatively, your problem with keyboard input is most likely being caused by a form filling addon or a finger print reader
addon? Note: some addons like the Google toolbar have multiple features like form filling, you can disable the GTB's form filling features from its settings dialog (click the 'spanner' icon on the toolbar)
Use Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons to locate any such addons and use the Addons Manager to disable them. (close and
reopen any open IE windows for the full changes to take effect).
[GotaQ: I tried disabling all of the add-ons in Google Chrome and the key-stroke mapping problem persisted, unfortunately!]

I cant open many website with firefox, there say filter not let open this site, but when i open they with internet explorer not have any problem.

i cant open many website with firefox, there say filter not let open this site, but when i open they with internet explorer not have any problem.

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

Hi when i switch on the macc 41 files open at once can not open any files while this is happing can still use AI & PS and the internet any help thanks...

Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
If you can answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

When I try to open a bookmark I get a box that says "what should firefox do with this file?" When I try to change the "open with Internet Explorer" I can't find firefox ? Last week this bookmark worked fine.

When I open a bookmark a box pops up that says "What should firefox do with this file? "open with Internet Explorer? When I browse I can't find firefox to change to. Last week this book mark worked perfectly.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

TS4022 Why does my icloud open in internet explorer when it is not my main browser?

Why does icloud open in internet explorer when I use Google as my main browser? I did something to make it happen and can't find how to change it back.

Hey man I was having the same problem and I found the answer.... Im going to put the steps you have to follow.
1.Open www.icloud.com on your Internet Explorer and if you're signed in you have to sign out.
2. Open www.icould.com on your Google Chrome and then sign in and click on the box that says "stay signed in" or something like that.
3. Try to open icloud the normal way you do it and it has to open on Chrome.
This worked for me, hopefully it works for you man, let me know.

Hiding the menu bar of acrobat when opening in internet explorer

Hi, i remember vaguely about a certain suffix you can give to the link of a pdf file so that when it opens inside internet explorer, it does not show the menu bar. Could someone help me out and tell me what this suffix is?
I remember it was something like.... www.asfg.com/mypdf.pdf#NOMENU or something.
If there is any other way to do this, it would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,

How do I turn off a shortcut that says "Open in Internet Explorer" and default back to FF

I use FF as my default browser. A few shortcuts work better in IE so I select the option to "Open in Internet Explorer" and this works fine. Now I would like to undo one of these shortcuts and have it open in FF per the original. I tried to delete the shortcut but any new FF shortcut to that website automatically opens in IE.
How do I cancel that original transfer to IE so it will again open in FF?

Hi roblsmith, <br>
i am sorry for the previous post which was not well stated. Change the application in the Target field. It is on the left of the URL that you wish to open. You should have something like: <br>
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” http://url_you_want <br>
Hope that helped!

Adobe PDF direct open in internet explorer problem

Hi all,
I have a problem when I want do download a pdf byte stream created by Jasper Reports. I read the necessary information out of my formbean (Struts). Here's the code from the jsp:
response.setContentType(runReportForm.getContentType());
String filename = runReportForm.getTechName() + "." + runReportForm.getMode();
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename='" + filename + "'\"");
byte[] bytes = runReportForm.getBytesOutput();
response.setContentLength(bytes.length);
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
try {
        ouputStream.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
        ouputStream.flush();
     ouputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}The content type for PDF is "application/pdf" or "application/octet-stream", of course.
Normally, it should open a download dialog with the question "Open" and "Save". In this download dialog is the Adobe icon displayed, too.
But in my case, I get the dialog with an empty (like unknown file format) icon, but the text says "Adobe Acrobat Document". When I click to open it directly it will open in a separately Adobe Acrobat window instead of displaying in the internet explorer. (Saving to the hard disk works fine).
Of course I have set the setting "display inside browser" in the options of my Acrobat Reader.
The same procedure with Excel (content type "application/vnd.ms-excel") makes no problems.
Thanks for any help.
Manuel

If you want to open the PDF in the browser you have to explicitely set the content type to "application/pdf", if you use "application/octet-stream" you'll always get the download box and when you choose to open from this box the reader will be used because the reader is configured to open PDF documents in the windows filetypes settings.

When I open a page from an email document it opens in Internet Explorer - how can I stop this?

Hi, I use Firefox as my default browser but when I opened a link from an official emailed adobe document it opened in Internet Explorer - I want to force all browser links to open only in Firefox - I have checked the advanced options and Firefox is set to my default, please help.

Hi PCM1, if i understand well the problem you have is when you click on a URL in a pdf file, the link opens in IE ? Have you checked in the default programs panel to see if all was well set ?

.pdf hyperlinks in word open in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox

I have website addresses copied and pasted into a word document, which automatically makes them a hyperlink. Normal website addresses open fine in firefox (which is my default browser) when I Ctrl+click on them. Web links to a .pdf, however, open Internet Explorer and then open in Adobe Acrobat inside Internet Explorer. How can I get .pdf links to open in Firefox when I Ctrl+click on them?

I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.
* Windows XP Pro SP3
* Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP3
* Internet Explorer 8.0
* Adobe Reader X (Version 10.1.1)
* Firefox 8.0
