Have new 8.1 with adobe reader installed would like Pdf reader from firefox ..how do I get it

I have a new 8.1 computer and adobe reader was installed on it ... Would prefer to use only Firefox PDF
if can do so, for e-bay and photo taking use
What steps do I take to delete Adobe Reader (if don't need it) and then to install PDF from
firefox?
Would really appreciate any help

Firefox has a built-in PDF viewer. However, I recommend keeping Adobe Reader on your system because there are some advanced PDFs that the built-in viewer does not display very well.
Or... If you meant that you want to use Foxit, that's actually not a Mozilla product. You can get more information here: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/

I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9. I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9". How can I avoid having to do this?

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your response. My operating system is XP. When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box. The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable". I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from). None seem to make a difference. If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
Thank you,
Rick

Hello:
What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
Thanks,

HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer? I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC

Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer? I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

How do I open .dll files automatically with Adobe Reader through Firefox?

Hi,
When I print eBay labels through Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to open automatically in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change options to show "all files", and then locate the .dll file and open it.
When I try to change the default application in Firefox preferences, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".
Is there a way to have Firefox automatically open .dll files with Adobe Reader?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
Steve

That worked, thank you!
I quit out of Firefox, renamed the file like you said, restarted my computer, and restarted Firefox.
When I went to download a label, Firefox asked me which application to use, and I picked Adobe Reader. I also checked the box to make that the default. This automatically opened the file in AR, and then when I did it the next time it worked perfectly.
Again, thank you so much for your help with this - although it's just a bit of time here and there saved it really adds up!
Take care!
-Steve

Filling in forms with adobe reader in firefox on ubuntu64

Hi
I am trying to fill in pdf forms with adobe reader 8.12 in firefox 3.03 and ubuntu64 8.04.
The forms display in firefox and I can check boxes, but when I try to select a text box I am unable to type. I can enter text by right clicking on the box and pasting. I also cannot use tab to move between boxes.
If I save a pdf to disk and open it with adobe reader then I can enter text and cycle through boxes with tab.
Sometimes I am unable to load pdfs in firefox that I have viewed before. When I click on the link a blank page is displayed. I can open them if I set firefox to open them externally with acroread rather than in the browser window.
Thanks for any help.
Paul

It's completely up to the IRS to create a form where the information fits in the field. There is nothing you can do with Reader since it is simply what it is called, a reader.
For you to change the document properties would require using the full version of Acrobat.

I have upgraded my laptop with Adobe X1 and now all my existing savedPDF documents will only open as an encryted word document, HELP! Please!

Hi Juliea,
I think the file association for PDF is not correct. Instead of double clicking the file to open, Please try below mentioned
right click on the file and select open with..
Select Choose Default Program
Select Adobe Reader from the list(If it is not in the list then navigate C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader and select AcroRd32.exe)
Remember to select the check box"Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
Click ok

Opening unknown mimetype with Adobe Reader in firefox?

Firefox 4.0 appears to be able to identify an unknown mimetype with a pdf file. In Options>Applications>Content Type, it lists "PDF (application/unknown)" as a content type but I cannot alter it so that this file type will open with "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)." Is there anyway to fix this so that Reader will open these files in firefox?

I see. Can you provide an URL where it does not open through the plugin as expected? HTTP (web) servers are responsible for asserting the MIME type of the content in reponse to the user-agent (browser). If the server does not define the MIME type as being "application/pdf" before proceeding to serve the content then the plug-in will not kick in. That's one possible tangent.
The other is that something is wrong in Firefox. In that case, try [http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions resetting the download actions].

Adobe Pro 11 conflict with Adobe reader on Firefox

I downloaded adobe acrobat pro 11 trial version and also have adobe reader on my Windows 7. I get error only on firefox when trying to open the pdf attachment stating "there was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
The pdf attachment works fine with Chrome, or when attaching to an outlook email.
Is there a fix, or should I just uninstall the adobe acrobat pro trial??

Are you using the Adobe Reader plugin, or Firefox' own PDF viewer?

My new tab opens with chrome://quick_start/content/index.html on the adress bar. how do i get rid of it

after installing camstudio i'm stuck with this. although my Firefox isn't disturbed i wanna rid it asap.help!

Note that such a chrome URL shows a problem with an installed extension (Firefox uses the chrome protocol to access built-in files and files used by extensions).
In this case a quick_start related extension is involved (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).

When trying to generate pdf file from firefox 7.0.1 , getting corrupt content error, used to work with previous versions of firefox

We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users. One of our users upgraded to firefox version 7.0.1 and they tried to generate a pdf report, now a screen pops up with Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. I recreated this issue on my pc yesterday by installing firefox 7.0.1. Any hints as to what I need to look at would help. Cannot provide the url because it is a secure website for law enforcement. Thanks.

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

When I login to my bank, I get the message: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. Have new MacBook Air with Yosemite. How to solve this problem?

When I try to login to the website of my bank, I get the following error message:
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
I have a new MacBook Air with OS Yosemite installed.
What is the problem and how can I solve it?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

How to highlight text with Adobe Reader XI?

email [email protected]

Thanks. The PDF file was made from a web site article and I guess this is the same as scanned as I cannot highlight. The cursor changes but cannot highlight what I want.
I was able to add text and I did this in Red and will ask the VA to read under the sections marked in Red.
Thanks,

How to operate 3d model in adobe reader from external program

Is it possible to operate 3d model with adobe reader from external program?
Such as selecting a spefic node of 3d model and and highlighting it in adobe reader.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks Irosenth,
One thing I am still not quite sure. Do you mean I can use "Acrobat 3D API" to create the plugin? But seems the "Acrobat 3D API" only works with
Acrobat Pro Extended.
That means the plugin will not be able to work with adobe reader. Is that correct?
Or do you mean any other API which work with the reader?
Thanks.
