How can I view PDFs wih Firefox?  Just upgraded to Lion and doesn't work any more.  What Adobe product/version do I need? (Have Adobe Reader 10.1.3)

Install the latest plug-in. You can check the version in System Preferences and click on the Adobe icon & Advanced tab if you have it installed. Latest version is 11.3.300.257

  • I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files since Apple and Adobe don't play together?

    I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files and videos since Apple and Adobe don't play together? Also, what operating system does the iPhone use? I'm a Windows person.

    You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

    There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I view .pdf files in a Firefox window?

    When I click on a .pdf link, Firefox downloads the file to my desktop. This is fine.
    Sometimes, however, I would prefer that Firefox simply open the .pdf document in a new window. I know it used to work this way, but it stopped some time ago. How can I control this behavior?
    I looked in Preferences > Applications and selected on "pdf". Two entries showed up under "Content Type":
    "Preview.app Document (application/po..."
    and
    "Portable Document Format (PDF)".
    Both entries have the same "Action": "Use PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 (in Firefox)"
    Oops. I just figured it out. The PDF entry (only) has an extra pulldown option under Action: "Preview in Firefox". I tried it and it works!
    I guess the old PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 must've quit working some time ago.

    We're good here, thanks. I went ahead and posted in case someone else had the same problem.
    Although... if you know how I might clean out that now-obsolete PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4, I'd appreciate the tip.

  • How can I view pdf files that existed before I downloaded a newer reader version?

    I'm unable to view older pdf files after downloading the newest version of reader! How can I fix this?

    They should open the same as they did with the older version.
    How are you trying to open (double clicking, using file>Open from within Reader, clicking on a link on a webpage...etc) them and what happens when you try?

  • Acrobat X Standard User: How can I view PDF metadata from a folder level?

    Hello All,
    This is my first post to this community. I would not be surprised if the answer to my question can be found in a simple search or tutorial. However, I assure you that I have been searching, clicking, reading and even attempting to install new software all morning and have only succeeded in further confusing myself.
    I'm running Adobe Acrobat X Standard on a Windows 7 machine. My job includes the management of legal documents of conveyance. All conveyance instruments have a set of unique identifiers such as the county where the deed was filed, the book and page where it is filed, the type of instrument, and the date it was filed. Historically I have tried to jam all of this information and more into the file name of a pdf. For example: "105_Bk109-Pg188_Assignment_05251950" is the name of a file that I have open right now that indicates an Assignment filed in Crockett County, Texas (code 105) at Book 109, Page 188 and recorded on May 25, 1950. I typically work in folders that contain around a hundred similar documents with all of the fields I have described varying. My objective is to begin moving this information into the metadata or properties of the individual PDFs AND then be able to view those fields in Windows Explorer from the folder level. As I understand it, this is not possible. When I began searching for an alternative solution, I found several references to Adobe Bridge and attempted to install it. The installation failed, but more importantly I am not interested in becoming a CC user as I don't feel like it is necessary for what I am trying to accomplish. I'm not working with HD photos or video.
    So my question is this: Is there a way (that doesn't involve purchasing and learning Adobe Bridge) that I can modify the attributes/metadata/properties of a pdf, and then see the modifications in a folder viewer without opening the pdf? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks for responding. I suspected that my understanding of metadata was incomplete or inaccurate. As I understand it, the metadata for any given pdf can be found by first opening the pdf; clicking File -> Properties, which opens a dialog box titled "Document Properties". The first tab in the dialog box is "Description" and includes the fields File, Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords. The values for these fields are what I'm referring to as metadata. Additionally, from the Document Properties dialog box, clicking on the "Custom" tab allows you to create custom properties and values, which I also considered to be metadata. I have manipulated these fields for a certain pdf as shown in the two screenshots below:
    After making this changes, I saved the pdf and closed it. I then navigated to the folder where the pdf is stored using Windows Explorer. As you can in the following screen shot of WE, that the pdf I have made the changes to is the first in the list. The Windows Explorer columns include: Title, Pages, Author, and Subjects, but their values are all blank and fail to show what I have assigned them in the PDF properties (or what I thought was metadata). As for my custom fields, Windows does not give me any kind of option to display those. Windows inability to display something as simple as the number of pages in the PDF is completely baffling to me.
    My objective is to be able to modify the standard document properties of a PDF with usable information, those being Title , Author, Subject, and Keywords. I would also like to be able to create the custom properties with additional useful information. I would then like to be able to use a file manager, to view the contents of a folder full of pdfs, similar to the screenshot above, and see the properties and custom field values that i have assigned to the pdfs in columns of the list of pdfs. Windows Explorer is the only file manager I have ever used. It's possible that the solution to my problem could be as simple as changing file managers. It may be that what I'm after is not possible at. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • How can I view PDF files on Safari

    My MacBook Pro will not open PDF files on Safari. I have Adobe Acrobat but the program is asking me for a 24 digit serial number when I only have 20. I tried looking under Preferences and About Safari but I just can't figure it out. Is there any other way to view the PDF files on Safari?

    Download and install the freeware Adobe Reader application. It includes a web browser plugin that works in Safari.
    Consult Adobe about the serial number problem with Acrobat.

  • New to iPad from android/PC...How can I view PDF, XLS, DOC files when I am not connected to wifi?

    I understand that GoodReader is able to open PDF, XLS, DOC, etc., but is not actually able to edit them. 
    Documents-to-Go can edit them, but will they be stored on my iPad?
    Evernote seems to be able to access them without being connected to wifi, but cannot edit spreadsheets that I am aware of.
    Does anyone have any good suggestions to be able to access documents while in airplane mode?

    GoodReader, Documents to Go, Pages, Numbers can all store documents on the iPad.

  • How can I view pdf's in safari v5.1?

    I will search for this -- but Safari v5.1 uses the Quicktime plug-in to read PDF's.  It doesn't work without a cumbersome workaround.  I will look at the discussions, but it is the dumbest thing I have found in a long time.  Is there a way to get Preview back into Safari as a plug-in?  Or perhaps Acrobat?
    Any ideas,
    Tom Nelson

  • How can I view a PDF file on my IPad? I only get the first page.

    How can I view a PDF file from my Ipad, both in email and Internet links? I only get the first page.

    Support for viewing PDFs in emails and web-pages is built in to the iPad. You need not have bought an app for that.
    There are PDF apps that provide more features than the built-in functionality, but for basic viewing of multi-page PDFs no app is required.

  • After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Kirk,
    Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution.  Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document). 
    When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do).  Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want.  The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
    Any other suggestions, please?

    My safari won't let me view a pdf link, nor can I save it as a document. How can I view these pdfs and links?

    Have you installed Adobe Reader and its associated plugin? AFAIK, that's the preferred if not the only way to open PDFs in an embedded view within Safari.

  • How can I view the Firefox Reading List?

    I am running Firefox on Android 2.3.4. I am reading about the Firefox "Reader Mode" [1], which states:
    "By tapping the readinglist1 icon, you can add the current page to your reading list (a special folder in your bookmarks list)"
    "Note: The reading list folder will not be shown until the first item is added to the list. If all the items in the list are removed, the reading list will be hidden again."
    Once I add the current page to my reading list, the screen changes and I am presented with different navigation controls. From here, the documentation says that:
    "By tapping the readinglist2 icon, you can display the reading list. "
    I have several items in my Reading List. However, I can only see the 'readinglist2' icon when I am viewing a page which has been converted to the Reader Mode. If I browse my bookmarks I do not see a folder for the reading list.
    How can I view the items which I added to my "Reading List"?

    You can open any chrome file in Firefox via the location bar, provided you know the path.<br />
    XML (XUL) files need a view-source: prefix.
