How can I open a pdf file?

I downloaded an ebook to a save file on my desktop. I cnnot open to read it. How can I open it.
I down loaded Adobe, but the firefox does not recognize that it is there. Why?

I do not see a PDF reader installed in your plugins; click on the "More system details..." to the right of your original question post to see a list of your plugins reported with your question post. I do not know what you downloaded from Adobe, but it appears to not be installed. Follow the instructions below under "Download complete installer...".
#'''Update or Install Adobe Reader (PDF plugin):'''
#*From within your existing Adobe Reader ('''if you have it already installed'''):
#**Open the Adobe Reader program from your Programs list
#**Click Help > Check for Updates
#**Follow the prompts for updating
#**If this method works for you, skip the "Download complete installer" section below and proceed to "After the installation" below
#*Download complete installer ('''if you do NOT have Adobe Reader installed'''):
#**Use the links below to avoid getting the troublesome "getplus" Adobe Download Manager and other "extras" you may not want
#**Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the appropriate link below
#**Click "Save to File"; save to your Desktop (so you can find it)
#**After download completes, close Firefox
#**Click the installer you just downloaded and allow the install to continue
#***Note: Vista and Win7 users may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
#**'''Download link''': ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/
#***Choose your OS
#***Choose the latest #.x version (example 9.x, for version 9)
#***Choose the highest number version listed
#****NOTE: 10.x is the new Adobe Reader X (Windows and Mac only as of this posting)
#***Choose your language
#***Download the file
#***Windows: choose the .exe file; Mac: choose the .dmg file
#*Using either of the links below will force you to install the "getPlus" Adobe Download Manager. Also be sure to uncheck the McAfee Scanner if you do not want the link forcibly installed on your desktop
#**''Also see Download link''': http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
#**Also see: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox (do not use the link on this page for downloading; you may get the troublesome "getplus" Adobe Download Manager (Adobe DLM) and other "extras")
#*After the installation, start Firefox and check your version again.

How can I open excel pdf files

Hi mmart1957,
Do you have Excel files, PDF files, or PDF files that have been converted to Excel? If you're working with PDF files, you'll need either Reader or Acrobat to open the files. If you have a converted Excel file, then you'll need Excel to open it.
Best,

How can I open a PDF file from a swf?

Hi all,
I created presentation using Flash cs5, and I want to make a link that opens an external PDF file. I have done this with past version of Flash, but how can I do it using cs5?
Many thanks in advance,
HDsuperglide

Sorry, just linking like before doesn't seem to work. When you select the link button all you get is a search browser looking for the pdf file you are trying to open.
This is what I was told to use.
on (release)
GetURL("name of pdf.pdf","_blank") ;
Does not work on CS5
Anyone have a real thoughts.

How can i open a pdf file with pdf paramter that extention is not ".pdf" in ie?

for example: open in ie with url: "c:\\a.efb#toolbar=0 ", but it can not see anything,the "a.efb" is a sure pdf file that just change the file ext. however i can open the file in ie without paramters!
my english is not well,if you know what i say ,please write the answer,thanks!

I do not know why you want to open a local file in IE, and not directly in Adobe Reader.
Does it work if you rename the file extension to .pdf?
If yes, then maybe it will work if you create a file association for .efb as AcroExch.Document to open with AcroRd32.exe

How can I open a PDF file and enter a word in the Find field from the command line?

Hi,
I want to use a PDF file as the help file of another program.
I have found somewhere an incomplete description of the command line parameters of Acrobat Reader.
It described how to open a file and jump to its given page.
I have written the following batch file based on that.
rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader at given page (prm2)
"%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&page=%2=OpenActions" %1
The following batch file opens the search dialog:
rem Open pdf (prm1) with Acrobat reader
rem and search for something (prm2)
"%adobe_rdr%\AcroRd32.exe" /N "zoom=73&navpanes=1=OpenActions&search=%2" %1
I need the simple find field instead of the complicated search window.

How can you open a PDF file in Preview or save it as Preview?

.

Drag and drop it onto Preview's icon, or select the file, *Get Info* on it, and in the *Open With...* menu in the Get Info window, select Preview.
A PDF file that won't open in Preview is an Acrobat-only file, and there's nothing you can do about that.

How can I open a PDF File and integrate it on my view?

Hi everybody,
I try to solve the problem like this:
- Creating a context attribute "pdf" type byte
- Creating a view UI Element "MyPdf" type interactive form binding on the context attribute "pdf"
- Inserting the following code in the wddoinit:
IPrivateView.IcontextElement contextEle = wdContext.currentContextElement();
byte bytes = contextEle.getPdf();
try
File file = new File("C:/text.pdf");
FileOutputStrem os = new FileOutputStream(file);
os.write(bytes);
os.close();
contextEle.setPdf(bytes);
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
I'm running it on a local machine with Netweaver 7.1 and get the following error message:
java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Byte:null incompatible with interface com.sap.......
If I delete the view UI Element there is no error message. What am I doing wrong???

Hi,
I'm sorry but it doesn't solve the problem. The error message is the same and it only appears if I have included the interactive form in the view.
If I delete the interactive form, there is no error and it seems that the coding in the wddoinit() Method works.
I've found a simple tutorial that describes my intention. But it works on webDynpro for Abap and uses Function Modules.

Anybody know a similar tutorial but for WebDynpro for Java?

How can I open my PDF file if it is password protected and I forgot the password?

Adobe software won't let you do that.

Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

Hey ilyaz20360341,
Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
Hope to get your response.

Anubha

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Try two things with Safari not running:
1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using". If it's checked, try unchecking it.
2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
Then see how things work.
