Why do I get a black screen when loading pdf from internet

I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to Adobe Reader 11.0.06. Now when I attempt to download a pdf from the internet, the Reader screen opens but the text portion of the screen is black. I can open pdf file i have previously saved.

Another possibility to to use the Schubert PDF plug in. It has been around for years and works great.

I do not know if it will work in Lion but it does work in Snow Leopard.

White Screen when opening PDF from within a website program

I have previously been able to use the marketing products associated with http://greenhousebhgre.com A link takes me to
http://maryorfali.betteragents.com/admin/marketingmaterials/# and from them I have been able to update my marketing flyers by selecting Create/Edit. Now I just get a white screen. These flyers can be saved as PDFs and I am able to open them from outside the website.

So you are editing your flyers online at that website? If so, Adobe Reader is not involved in any way; Adobe Reader cannot create or edit PDF documents.
My suggestion: try another browser. If that does not help, contact the people who maintain that website.

Get wierd screen when opening PDF file in Acrobat/Reader 9.5.2

Here's the screen I now get when trying to open a Captivate-generated PDF in either Acrobat or Reader 9.5.2. Any thoughts?

Hi Ronpref,
I created a Captivated PDF file of size ~15 MB (created with Adobe Captivate 5.5) and opened it with Acrobat 9.5.2. I did not see any issue opening this file, all the contents were seen properly. As soon as I launched this PDF, it asked me to install Adobe Flash. Once installed, this PDF file was opened successfully and I could move forward/back within that captivate movie.
You can check if this same issue is present on other machine with Acrobat 9.5.2. If not, then there are chances that this issue is specific to your machine.
Alternatively, as I suggested earlier, try using Reader XI.
Thanks.

Black screen when opening in .pdf

I'm having problems with opening the C5-project in .pdf. Some people get a black screen when opening the .pdf file (version 9 or higher), most of the time it goes well, but 1 out of 10 times it doesn't work. I have know idea what could be the cause of the black screen (use of laptop?).
Now it is impossible to send this project to our stakeholders, because I don't know whether it works or not.
Does anyone recognize this and knows why this happens, and how to solve this?

There was a recent patch released by Adobe for Captivate 5 that addressed a similar black screen issue in Captivate SWFs.
You can get the patch here: http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html
It may turn out to fix your issue as well.

Reader 9.0, 9.1, 9.1.2 blue screening when opening multiple PW protected files

I have a user, using MSOffice 2k3, who get a blue screen when opening multiple password protected files thru Outlook. The error suggests to update the BIOS, which has been done. This occurrs in all 3 versions of Reader 9. It specifically occurrs AFTER he inputs the password in the PW box. It does not matter which file he opens 1st. Any assistance would be appreciated.

No, you are wrong (Gene & Mike). First, the forms, at least my forms, have NOT been edited since being created in designer. They were created and saved directly to flash. Second, this issue has been posted on the acrobat forum as well as the life cycle designer forum and both thread were ended with adobe expert posts saying it was an adobe reader issue and to post here.
I have experimented more with this issue and it seems to be a 'trusted identity' issue within reader, but I have not wholely figured it out yet. My forms work on Reader, 7, 8, and 9. They work on all versions of 7 and 8 regardless of what the form was optimized for (my forms were optimized for 9 and higher). The only trouble is on 9.0. I have found that when updating on client machines, reader gives a prompt (sometimes) that says reader has found a set of trusted identities from a previous version, would you like to use these identies or create a new set of identities. If you choose to keep the existing trusted identies set, the form works, even when upgraded to reader 9.0
Not trying to be argumentative (Mike and Gene) but the 'experts' bail on this issue by telling people it's a reader problem and to post here.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

Pdf in Safari: Get a blank screen when I click on a PDF

[Inventory]
Safari 5.0.5
Acrobat Pro 9.4.4 up-to-date
Acrobat Reader 10.0.3 up-to-date
iOS 10.6.7
[Problem]
When I surf the internet using the Safari browser And I click on a link that is a PDF, I get a blank screen. The PDF does not render in the new Safari window. What happened?

Hay there
I JUST FIXED THIS PROBLEM ON MY OWN COMPUTER
--YIPPEE--
I hope that this will help all those safari user that have been resisting the urge to put a fist through the screen like i was.
1) there is a hidden 'library' folder in the "home" (looks like the little house) account -- you have to unhide it and make your change there
2) i found it by doing a search for "pdf plugin" in the search area (by that litte mignifying glass icon thing)
3) here is the path. home/library/internet plugins/
4) once you are in this folder you have to swap out all the old crap that's there for the new/updated stuff
this is were you made sure your plugin are correct
HINT: i copied all the pdf related plugins from the other "library" (the ones that were recent installs) into this one
I then restarted safari and it was cool beans

When I open "mail" all that opens is the gray ribbon on the top.I have to go to "Mailboxes/inbox" to get it to aspen. What happened? How do I get the full screen to open when I click my "mail" icon like it used to?

Move your cursor way over to the right side of the window. There should be a thin bar. when you hover over the left side of the thin bar, the cursor will change to a vertical bar with an arrow sticking out the left. Click and drag to the left.

On my iPad2 I get a black screen when Itry to open FaceTime. Others can contact me and the camera and audio work. How do I fix this problem?

On my iPad2 I get a black screen when I attempt to open Face Time. Others can contact me and they come in with video and audio. I can chat with them as well. Is there a fix for this? I have verified my email address twice. I have turned FaceTime on and off several times as well.
Thanks,
Bill

I double clicked the round button when the icons appeared I held down and selected the FaceTime icon while it was shaking I selected the minus sign on the FaceTime icon closing it out. Then I restarted the iPad and bingo FaceTime works now.

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files

Hi,
I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
Setup
Server OS:
Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
Other software:
Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
Symantec Antivirus 10.1
Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
The installation is clean (1 week old).
Problem description:
When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
Work-arounds tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
Turn DEP off
Solution:
Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
Best regards from Denmark!

Hi,
I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
Any further ideas at all?
Mark

Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007

Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.
OS: Win XP Pro SP3
Error Message(s): None
Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

I may have a resolution now...
I clicked Tools -> Options -> View and turned off Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" on the advice of someone on a Microsoft Forum. I made three PDFs from three Microsoft Project files (that were having trouble previously) and was not able to get these PDFs to crash when zooming or changing pages. So far so good!
