Firefox hangs up when trying to open a pdf page. I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat installed. I have Win 7 and Firefox 4.0

Firefox opens up a new tab but the page remains blank. No error message appears.

  • I cannot open PDF to read apple iphone 4 support manual from firefox yet it works fine on IE 9 and I have the latest version of adobe reader installed

    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

    Thanks again but no PDF listed on any of the adobe apps. I noticed if I to Adobe acrobat document on that list and move over to open it, it gives you the option of Adobe Reader as default. If I choose that, I can open PDF documents. I have also noticed via web search that more than 80 people have reported the same problem with 4.0, but no solution yet so I suppose I will leave the default at Adobe Acrobat Document Use Adobe Reader in Firefox. Not sure if that will affect anything else but it seems to open the PDF.

  • On opening some pdfs in new tab, get a box labeled Adobe Acrobat with a ? in it. Right click on the link gets the pdf. What does the box and ? mean. Running W7, FF 10.0.2, Adobe Standard 9. Thanks

    On opening some pdfs in new tab, get a box labeled Adobe Acrobat with a ? in it. Go back to the original link, right click on the link gets the pdf. What does the box and ? mean and why do I get it when trying to open some pdfs? Running W7, FF 10.0.2, Adobe Standard 9. Thanks.

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" error when trying to open a PDF in Reader

    A few of our employess (only 3 out of over 100 so far) have been getting the error, "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when trying to open some PDFs. Other people are able to open the same PDF files with no error. It's happening on about 10% of the time. I've read a bunch of threads here with this isue and tried some suggested fixes and nothing has resolved the issue. Here is what I have found works and does not work and the info on their computers:
    Computers:
    1 Dell Vostro desktop running WIndows 7
    1 Toshiba Satellite C55 runnign Windows 8
    1 Samsung ATIV Book 4 running Windows 8
    All using Adobe Reader XI but we did uninstall that version and tried previous versions and still got the error.
    Did Not Work:
    As suggested by the company that we use online for claims adjustments where this error is occuring, we tried using a different PDF creator since the files were created using a free PDF creator by the employees. PDF995 and PDFcreator (pdfforge) did not resolve the issue. I then created the PDFs with my Adobe Acrobat, uploaded from my computer to the online program, and that did not resolve the issue.
    Saving the file to hard drive and then opening in Adobe did not work.
    Turning off Protected Mode and Enhanced Security did not work.
    Compatibility View settings enabled in Internet Explorer 10 did not resolve the issue. The previously mentioned claims adjustment software company we use online was code for IE so is not fully compatible with other browsers.
    That being said I did try to open the PDF files in Chrome and it also did not work. Same error message.
    Does work:
    I download the file they cannot open onto my hard drive, open in Adobe Acrobat, Save as a pdf, then email it to them and they can open it via email attachment.
    If they close the error and continue trying to open the file over and over sometimes it will eventually open.
    Is there a setting in Windows that is preventing them from opening a small % of files some of the time? Thanks in advance for any help!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

    Hi chasore,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    Is this issue happening with all the documents you have. If yes, i would suggest try uninstall and reinstall. Or if the documents are located on some shared drive try to copy them on local machine and test again.

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get an error

    hello,
    When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get the error: 'there was an error opening this document the document cannot be found'. The share is on a Windows 7 machine and sharing to a OS X 10.7 Machine. Permisson has been given on the share for 'Everyone' read and Write, and is mapped to the 10.7 machine through the 'Connect to Server' in finder with login credentials.
    Can you help please?
    Kind regards,
    Chris

    This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
    Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel".  These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
    Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
    Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
    Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
    Any other ideas?

  • When trying to open a Word document, I get the error message that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  What can I do?

    When trying to open a word document, I get the error message that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  What can I do?
    Thanks.

    IMHO the free apps are a band aid fix. If the OP uses Office on a regular basis he will need to upgrade anyway. Personally I have used neooffice and found it substandard however that was just my take. I haven't tried Google's solution.
    We both forgot to mention the OP could also use Pages and Numbers to open their Word and Excel files. If he uses Entourage then Mail and iCal would be viable substitutes.

  • Why won't firefox crashes when I try to download the latest version of adobe flash player ?

    When I tried to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (10.1.85.3), nothing happened. Then something popped up....

    (click it)
    when I clicked the "install missing plugins," this popped up...

    I was a little confused because it was totally different from what the instructions said

    so I decided to click the "manual" button and a download page to download a file named "Gp" popped. Seeing that I just clicked cancel then suddenly my computer froze. I tried going to the adobe download page again and it happens all over again. Please Help Me :(

  • Firefox will no longer play videos and keeps telling me to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer which I have done 5 times but still get the same message when I try to play videos. I can play videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome .

    Recently when I try to play a video on Firefox I get the same message that I need to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. At least 5 times I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin 64 bit. Problem is that even though I have the latest version I still get the same message when I try to watch videos on Firefox. The frustrating thing is I can watch videos on Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well as on Safari. How does that make sense?
    Today, I upgraded to Firefox 10.0.2 (x86eng-us) hoping that would enable me to watch video on Firefox but it made no difference either. I would rather use Firefox as my default browser but if I can't get help so I can view video on it I will be forced to use another browser.

    Hi arpriltime,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader and when I try to open a new pdf I get the Adobe logo and text in Japanese and the pdf doesn't open.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I recently downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader for my MacBook Air and now when I try to open a new pdf I get the Adobe logo and text in Japanese and nothing else.  The pdf doesn't open.  Any suggestions?  I never had this problem until my cache was cleared and I had to re-install Adobe Reader.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Just to say I am having exactly the same issue on my MacBook Air.  I can't remember what I did but after this happened a few times, and once I had clicked on the Japanese pop up, I managed to do something that now means I get the pop up in English, saying 'Adobe Reader blocked for this website'.  When I click on it it asks me to trust the content and then I get a bar with the text in Japanese.  Eventually the pdf does open. However it's very irritating that I have to trust every pdf individually which I never had to do before the latest upgrade, and I don't understand why I get messages in Japanese.  I will be interested to see whatever answers other more technical people may provide!
