How to open local PDF from Firefox?

I have Acrobat XI Pro. I have local web pages with PDF files on my hard drive. I use Firefox. How can I get Firefox to open the files in Acrobat? Now when I click on the files Firefox downloads them. I don't need that! I already have them on my hard drive. It used to open them. I reinstalled my Windows 7-64 and it stopped doing so.
I have searched the web. A Firefox help page asks if you can open the file with File -> Open File. I tried. It also downloads the file. But that page doesn't say what to do if Firefox doesn't open it.
I have gone to Firefox's Applications page. Three of the four Acrobat entries list Save File. When I use the combo boxes to change to Acrobat, they don't change.
I can't believe something so basic as what I am asking is so hard to do.

  • How to open a PDF from AS

    Hello again!!!
    I would like to know how can a Client open a PDF document which is in the AS.
    The point is that i know how to pass this document from Client to AS, but it needs to be open from Server using an aplication in Forms. Yes, i use the following line:
    WEBUTIL_HOST.NONBLOCKING('CMD /C ACRORD32 '||trim(:block.rute));
    and i have the ACRORD32.EXE in the Windows Path, so it should work. However, Acrobat launches a pop-up that says something like 'file not found', and the rute is correct and the file exists.
    Any suggestions?

  • How to open a pdf from a button in Flash

    Good Afternoon All,
    I am working in CS4.
    AS 3.
    I am putting together a self-contained Flash presentation. The presentation and all linked images/files will be contained on a flash stick.
    I need to know how to link to a pdf that will be on the flash stick and have it open directly in reader when clicked. I've tried the following AS:
    on (release) {
      getURL("myDoc.pdf", "_blank")
    and it does work, but opens the pdf in a browser window version of reader as opposed to just reader...if that makes sense.
    Any and all help is appreciated.
    THanks.
    Geno.

    I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • When opening a pdf in Firefox from a website, the navigation bar disappears. I would like to copy the URL path to send to staff.

    Using Acrobat Pro XI, Windows 7-64, Firefox 25. If I open a PDF from a website link in IE, the PDF opens and I can see the URL path where I can copy it and send to others. Opening the same link in Firefox does not show the URL path. I get the File, Edit menu but no URL.

    Is the PDF opening in a separate (popup) window? Sites can alter which bars appear on a popup window, but the address bar should always be visible (that's the default setting). Could you check and make sure that hasn't changed?
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''window_o''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If the '''dom.disable_window_open_feature.<u>location</u>''' preference is bolded and "user set" to false, double-click it to switch it back to true so sites are disabled from hiding the location (address) bar on popup windows.

  • I can open a pdf from email on a laptop, not on the desktop. The desktop tells me invalid file format. I have went through the list from support.

    Had a virus on the desktop, then had a reformat, now I can not open adobe pdf in firefox from yahoo email. I have reinstalled Acrobat reader, same problem.I can open it in internet explorer. I can open it on the laptop.

    Hi Gary,
    I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
    When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
    If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
    Please  heck if the following reg key exists:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
    If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
    If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
    Please check the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
    Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
    Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

  • How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?

    How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
    When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
    The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
    Thanks

    I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.

    You will havwe to sign up for some service that supports rights
    management, use protected PDFs via LiveCyle/ Acrobat Connect or learn how
    to create your own ePub stuff using Digital Publishing Suite. In any case,
    it will probably cost you money upfront before you make any revenue.

  • Opening a pdf from a blob

    Hi Guys,
    I know this is a borderline ApEx problem but I have a page whose sole job is to open a pdf from a blob stored in the database.
    This code works for most client machines:
    DECLARE
    l_blob blob;
    BEGIN
    SELECT letter INTO l_blob
    FROM letters
    WHERE lett_id = :P44_LETT_ID;
    -- owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
    -- tried pdf and octet they work the same?????
    owa_util.mime_header('application/octet',false);
    htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
    owa_util.http_header_close;      
    wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);
    END;
    On some machines I get 'Windows cannot open this file ...File: f[7] ...To open this file..........
    On most machines this works fine.
    I haven't got it to fail with Firefox yet, just IE but only a few machines running IE. Client getting annoyed and I starting to stress.
    Many thanks
    Gary

    Have you already tried adding
    htp.p('Content-Disposition:  attachment; filename...as described here?
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32469/up_dn_files.htm#CIHDDJGF
    Maybe it solves the problem, in case IE is a little bit picky. But I really don't know.

  • Opening a pdf in firefox causes problems in other opened tabs

    When I open a pdf on firefox, if I switch tabs, i.e. to any other website, and try to scroll down with the mousewheel it won't work, only the pdf file scrolls down, even if I'm not working on that tab. This happened to me with an old laptop (XP), now I have a new one (W7), and I have the same problem, so I guess is not a computer problem.
    Also, at work the pdf files work properly.

    Starting in Chrome 42, NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader will no longer work nor be shown in the chrome://plugins page.
    http://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation
    The Chromium team has decided to remove support for NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader. Here's a blog post that describes their decision - http://blog.chromium.org/2014/11/the-final-countdown-for-npapi.html
    To view PDF files in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, we recommend that you download the file in Chrome and open it from your desktop.
