How to have PDF open in Internet Explorer 7 (Adobe reader version XI)

Hello,
we would like to know how to open PDF in internet browser. Our browser version is IE7, Adobe Reader version is XI.
Thanks,
Jason

XI Pro contains all of the capabilities of Reader and a lot more. If you can't see the PDF, you may have the view in browser unchecked in Acrobat, or more likely your Acrobat is not updated to be compatible with the version of IE you are using (You did not mention). There may also be an issue with the OS you are running that could vary between computers (also not mentioned). First thing to do is to go to Help>Updates and be sure you are running 11.0.09. Then check the preferences (check the Internet tab).

  • How to manage PDF opening in client installed Adobe Reader?

    Hi!
    As a background, I have this Document Library in SharePoint Online containing PDF files that are supposed to be confidential files wherein the users can only view the pdf documents, restricting the Printing, Copying of Content and Saving/Dowloading.
    As a workaround, this PDF files are password encrypted and toolbars and menu bars are hidden by default. That's why I need to open it using the local client PDF Adobe Reader. Since if through the browser, the pdf file security enforced becomes useless with
    the Save and Button buttons visible and Browser Menu Bar can directly be accessed.
    My problem is how do I enforce that PDF files stored in a Document Library in SharePoint Online be opened directly in local client PDF Adobe Reader without asking the users to
    Disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on of their browser IE  because we have no control over if they follow it or not and also this will also depend on the type of browser used by the user.
    Why is it that this Library Settings option in SharePoint Online does not work "open documents in the local client application"?
    Please your solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Venus

    Hi,
    From your description, you might want to force the .pdf file to not able to open in browser.
    As there is no such OOTB feature can meet your requirement, a workaround is that we can use JavaScript to iterate through the Name column of the library, if there is
    a file name ends with “.pdf”, we can modify the click event of the name string element of the Name column of this item to make it download the file instead of opening it.

    The response above is only a speculative answer to the original question. DSI-Hal, did you try to flatten the text in Bluebeam Revu prior to opening it in Adobe. This has worked for me on several different documents but not sure if we are using the same version of Adobe Reader.
    Give it a shot. Good luck.

  • Hyperlink in MS office to pdf opens in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox

    I have some documents (Excel, Word) that contain hyperlinks.
    Hyperlinks to websites (www.***.com or http://***.htm) nicely open in Firefox. But links to online pdf's (http://www.***.com/***.pdf) all open in Internet Explorer.
    How can I change this?
    I'm using Windows XP pro, Firefox 3.0.5, Office 2003, Adobe Reader 9.0.0

    I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
    I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
    I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
    Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.
    * Windows XP Pro SP3
    * Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP3

  • Print Preview missing when PDF opened through Internet Explorer

    No preview - no option to print. This is now affecting 4 of my computers so I'm assuming there is an update that is causing this.  It is effecting different versions.  One computer has Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0.  Another computer is running Internet Explorer 10 and Adobe Reader 9.  Both are having the same symtoms.  Here is an illustration.
    Normally it says "Preview - Image", also notice the xxx on the bottom of the preview and to the bottom left of the dialog box.  If I save the PDF and open it directly (outside of Internet Explorer) it works find.  Also using Firefox it works fine.  I believe its an update because its happened on 4 machines so I don't think its from someone changing settings.  What do I need to do to Print?  Help.
    Thanks,

    I very much doubt that this is the way things are meant to work. If I open the pdf in Safari and rightclick>open it with skim, Skim displays the proxy icon, as Preview used to.
    Btw, the file's path still points to a tmp folder (webkitpdfs)
    So this is either a bug in Safari or Preview (because it impairs functionality), or, hopefully, there's some hidden preference somewhere which you can change and reactivate the proxy icon.
    Have you verified this as a Safari bug by checking that it works with FireFox?

  • I have PDF documents to download. Adobe Reader does not recognize my password. How can I reset it?

    Having troubel with Adobe Reader password. It doesn't recognize my entry so I have to reset it. How is this done?

    The password for your computer is not the same password as is sometimes required to open a pdf file. This is also different from any password you may need to access a digital ebook.

  • Cannot read "must have" pdf - no way to install adobe reader

    I just received an email attaching a pdf that is extremely important to me - has a form that I must have for an application and cannot seem to get it or anywhere else on the internet.  When I went to view it both in my email attachment and on the internet, I was given the message:
    "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
    For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader."
    I found that all could find were updates which would not install because I had no Adobe Reader to being with.  Not showing in Applications or Library/Internet plug-ins.  I really need the form from the pdf.  What can I do?

    The first link is to the latest version, not an update.

  • PDF problems in Internet Explorer 11

    We are testing upgrading to Internet Explorer 11 in my organization and we are encountering a problem with the Adobe PDF Plug-in. It doesn't work without disabling the plug-on and then enabling it. It will work after the disable/enable until users log off and back on. Is this a problem with the plug-in or Internet Explorer 11? Here is what I have done try and correct the issue:
    Repaired Adobe Reader
    Uninstall/Reinstall Adobe Reader
    Remove IE 11
    Reinstall IE 11
    Remove Adobe Reader
    Remove IE 11
    Install IE 11
    Install Adobe Reader
    Here are the current settings in Internet Explorer, Adobe Reader and Adobe PDF Plug-in:
    OS: Window 7 Enterprise 32bit
    Browser: Internet Explorer 11
    Adobe PDF Plug-in: 11.0.10.32
    Internet Explorer setting changes: Problem sites have been added to Trusted Sites list.
    ActiveX Control settings in IE 11
    Adobe Reader Enhanced Security Settings: Enable Protected Mode at startup: ON; Protected view: OFF; Enable Enhanced Security: ON; Automatically trust sites in my Win OS security zones: ON
    Adobe PDF plug-in Setting:

    Can you post a screenshot of that Print panel: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
    It is possible that some system fonts (e.g. Segoe) are missing or corrupted.
    Regarding IE freezing: try to disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • Since the recent upgrade from Adobe pdf plug-inn Firefox often won't open pdf-files. Uninstalling doesn't help. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer.

    Hi efacg,
    Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
    If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
    If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.

  • I cannot open any PDF's in Internet Explorer

    Starting just a few days ago, I can no longer open PDF files in Internet Explorer (IE 9). I'm not sure, but this could have started when I upgraded from Reader X 10.1.5 to 10.1.6.
    I can open PDF's fine in Firefox 19.0, just not Internet Explorer. I have tried numerous suggestions that I found in this forum and elsewhere:
    Turned off popup blocker.
    Changed the Internet option in Adobe Reader's preferences to both open PDF's in the browser and not to open the PDF in the browser. Neither option works.
    Tried running Internet Explorer in Compatiilty View for the websites where I am trying to view the PDF files.
    There was a suggestion to clear the Internet Explorer cache. I could not find that option (cache) under the Setting for IE. The closest thing I found was Temporary Internet Files, so I deleted them.
    I uninstalled Adobe Reader and installed an earlier version (10.1.4).
    I made sure that the plugin/extention 'Adobe PDF Helper' was enabled.
    None of the above has helped. I'm just about out of ideas. The fact that I can still open PDF's using Firefox makes this less than an emergency, but I would really like to get this resolved.
    I had some trouble searching this forum (Adobe Reader) thoroughly, so if there is another post out there that has some solutions (other than the 6 items I already tried) please fell free to post a link to it.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I just thought I would add some information (albeit vague) on how I solved this problem. I had another computer (laptop) that was not experiencing this problem. I compared the IE settings on the laptop with the IE settings on my desktop and changed all the settings on the desktop to match the laptop. I then restarted IE on my desktop and was able to open PDF files! Since it was working for me, I didn't go back and try to figure out which of the changed settings led to the solution to the problem. If enough people on the forum request it, I will try to go back and isolate the pertinent settings.

    I have written some function in PluginInit. I don't want to call the method when acrobat launches in IE. It should call only when acrobat launches in Desktop.
    How can I call the method only when it launches on desktop.

  • Unable to open pdf files using Internet Explorer and Adobe 9.1

    We are unable to open any/all pdf files in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 using Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows XP SP2.
    The error message is that IE has a problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
    Clicking "OK" closes IE.
    We did not have any issue with Adobe Reader 8.1.
    What we did to date:
    1. Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1
    2. Run Windows Clean Utility to remove any remnant of Adobe Reader 8
    3. Re-install Adobe Reader 9.1
    Any other suggestions?
    Need to have this upgrade.

    I'm having a similar issue. Prior to upgrading to Acrobat 9.1 I was able to view PDFs from IE 6. No longer. Instead I get a message: "Error opening document. File cannot be found."
    Help?

  • Unable to open PDF files in Internet Explorer

    Hello,
    One of our users has a problem with opening PDF files in Internet Explorer.
    Translation:
    Adobe PDF-document
    There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Close Adobe Acrobat/Read and try again.
    The user is using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard in combination with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (under an administrator account), deleted the local user profile and the problem is still there.
    Does anyone have an idea about this? The error message doesn't really say what is wrong. Adobe Reader is not installed.

    What exactly means "unable"?  Do you see a little x in a box on the top left of IE11?  If so, this may be the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

    Solution #2
    Select "Enable third-party browser extensions" in Internet Explorer Properties.
    1. Start Internet Explorer.

    4. Close all Internet Explorer windows.
    5. Restart Internet Explorer.
    If still doesn't work then let me know what the version of I.E and Acrobat you are using.
