Firefox 4 and Acrobat

I upgraded Firefox to 4, and now I can no longer view most PDFs in it. I am using Acrobat Professional 9. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Does this require Adobe to issue a plug-in update?

Okay, I am looking at one Windows 7 machine (32 bit) with Firefox 4, and I do have a plugin for Acrobat 9.
It is listed in my Firefox plugins as Adobe Acrobat 9.4.4.235, last updated April 14, 2011.
It seems to be working fine. The reason I was searching the forum is because I am trying to get the plugin installed on a different W7 machine with 64 bit OS. The browser is still 32 bit, as is my Acrobat install. I should probably start a new thread about this, but I thought I should add to this thread that there is a plugin out there for Fx 4.

Adobe pdf files won't open while I'm online in FireFox even though I can download pdf files and then open them. It all freezes and tells me to check regedit. I have FireFox 5 and Acrobat 8, and I haven't found regedit, let alone know what to do with it..

If I click to open a pdf file when online with Firefox, the screen freezes and it tells me that the registry isn't updated and I should try regedit. About a month ago I had to wipe my computer clean and start all over again because of a virus that couldn't be cleaned out. I've since downloaded all necessary programs, Acrobat 8 one of them, but this message only appeared yesterday. Not sure why it worked up until now if it's the registry. But I don't know how to update it with regedit.

You need to get rid of all those duplicate files. Put these in the Trash:
Adobe Reader 7.07 (all copies)
AdbeRdr708enUS.dmg
This should leave you with one copy of Adobe Reader 7.08 in your Applications folder, with the correct Adobe icon.
Now run Disk Utility and choose Repair Permissions. When it's done, try double-clicking on the Adobe Reader icon and see if it starts normally. If not, make a note as to any error messages or unusual behavior and post again.

Firefox 13, and Acrobat X pro; I want the "convert web page to pdf" buttons I use in IE.

I'm running Firefox 13.0, and I have Acrobat X pro, all running in Win 7 64 bit.
How can I add to Firefox (AND to Chrome), the buttons I use in Internet Explorer that enable me to "convert web page to pdf", etc.?
Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat X pro?
I tried that once, and it did not add the Acrobat toolbar to this (latest) version of Firefox.
Is it possible to add the Acrobat toolbar buttons "convert web page to pdf", etc. to Chrome? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks,
Marc

The supported browsers are found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html. So, have you updated Acrobat or are you still sitting with AA10.0? Generally you do not need to reinstall Acrobat in such cases, but the updates and possibly repairs may be needed (not a reinstall).

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.

How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
Any help is very Appreciated

eh,
The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

Reader 9 and Acrobat 9 in IE / Firefox

Hello,
We have to use Reader 9 as default for some applications in IE, but would like to use Acrobat 9 as default for some applications in Firefox.
I have installed Reader 9 as default and also installed Acrobat 9 and this opens PDFs fine in IE using Reader. However, in Firefox even if I select the application to use to open PDF files as Acrobat (within Firefox) it still opens them with Reader.
Has anyone got any ideas around this?

The work around is to typically open the desired product first, then browse in your browser. Generally, the viewing will default to the open product. If you have problems even then, it is likely an issue with both reader and Acrobat both being installed. It may also be that IE is using a Reader plugin and not actually opening Reader.

Help with opening a .PDF in browser (firefox) - have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extender installed

Hi all,
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 ProExtender installed, whenever I go to my firefox options and change the .PDF setting to (USE ADOBE ACROBAT (in firefox)) setting, i get a screen which is whited out, and a message from Adobe Acrobat with a question mark (?), but no message is there to read.
That is the scr
een that pops up, I can back out and try the link again for it to work, but it does it to all my .PDF files I try to view on the page. All I can do to prevent this is to save to disk, and open with adobe acrobat pro extender, but sometimes the file I need to look at are quick and would save a lot of time just opening it on the browser.
Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately, it's not that simple because Acrobat and Reader share files, and that's why Adobe recommends not to have them both installed in the same machine.

Sometime I search a pdf file in google, but when I right click on the link and choose "save link as" or "download with IDM" it says that the target is url (html extension) and save a webpage file. It happens with firefox 4 and there's no problem in IE.

it happens for both Adobe Acrobat and Foxit phantom.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system?

How do I get IE to read pdf's with a Windows 7 OS and acrobat 7 on my system? It works with firefox. It worked previously but I think the automatic upgrade to reader 9.4 messed it up - so how do I fix it?

Hi,
It looks like the default association of your PDFs was set to Adobe Acrobat, when you installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. I would request you to either uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and install it again. This time around, you will receive a window asking you to chose between Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application, make sure you select Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and continue on. This will associate Adobe Reader 9.4.0 as the default PDF viewing application and your internet explorer will be able to open PDFs without an issue.
If an uninstall seems out of the question, you can change the following registries to point to the path of AcroRd32.exe (i.e. the path wherein you have installed Adobe Reader 9.4.0. By default it would be something like: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe). The quotes mentioned below are intentional and must be included.
i. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
ii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Open\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
iii. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7\shell\Read\command\(Default) - Change the value to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""%1"
This should set the default application to view PDFs as Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and let you view PDFs in browser as well.
Hope this works.

When viewing PDF files in a window in firefox the popup control bar for zoom, print,page up or down does not work. Any suggsetions other than stop opening up pdf files in a firefox window and have them open in adobe reader?

Firefox 32 - Download file to external application fails to open the application. Only works if app is used within Firefox as in Acrobat reader.

Some of my users have started using Firefox 32 and discovered that files on the websites (pdf, xls, doc, etc) will not open fully if the application option is set to a windows application such as Acrobat Viewer, Microsoft Excel, Word, etc. The Download manager shows them listed and "hung" up. The file is downloaded to a temp location but the file is never opened and presented to the user. If the pdf option is set to open within Firefox using the built in Acrobat viewer, that will open within the browser.
This did not happen with version 31 and installing this on a sandbox desktop reproduced the problem.
We are running Windows 7 operating systems. Need help to solve this. Anybody?

hello warnerm, this is a bug in the latest 32 beta 9 version which will be addressed in the release candidate 1 build which should be deployed via auto-updates to beta users tomorrow.
a workaround for the moment would be to enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere on the page and create a new string setting with the name '''browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL''' and value '''https://sb-ssl.google<i></i>.com/safebrowsing/clientreport/download?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%'''

Using both Firefox 17 and 18, browser, still freezes unexpectedly and randomly even though have tried almost every suggested fix on mozilla support

I have tried almost everything in support forum to end the freezing problem, and just when I think the latest thing I have read has solved it, it happens again.
One page it freezes once in a while is: http://www.nationalpost.com/index.html. Other wise it is random sites that I visit.
The only thing I havent done is disable the add-ons that I rely on all the time, namely
ReminderFox, Sage, Email Link, and Flashblock, all up-to-date.
I currently have four plugins enabled, being: Adobe Acrobat, itunes application detector, Windows media player firefox plugin and Shockwave Flash, all are up-to-date.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You can also do a check for problems caused by plugins.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
*all extensions are disabled
*the default theme is used (no persona)
*userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
*the default toolbar layout is used
*the Javascript JIT compiler is disabled
*hardware acceleration is disabled
*plugins are not affected
*preferences are not affected

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to 10.0.2 and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version and once again nothing.

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?

I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.
