How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
Any help is very Appreciated

eh,
The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

  • How do I AUTOMATICALLY (i.e., every time) restore windows & tabs when re-opening Firefox 5.0?

    If I close Firefox, I want the previous windows and tabs to automatically reappear. I does not do this now.

    You should be able to set this in options.
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > General tab
    When Firefox starts => Show my windows and tabs from last time
    Does that work?

  • How to open pdf or fdf file through firefox 3.0.5?

    Hi all,
         I am trying to open a fdf file through firefox in linux machine by clicking the link on that it wants to open a fdf file from remote location. When I am trying to open then it will show an error message in error console like:
    Security Error: Content at http://172.16.3.116:8080/ManuscriptScreening/source/journal/ProductionEntry.jsp may not load or link to smb://editor:edit*[email protected]/Copyediting/ELS/Manuscript_Screening/MS/RDTEST/02-Process/RDTEST-D-08-10245.fdf
    Can any body give me a solution for this problem? I am using smb to fetch files from server. In my linux machine we are using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 professional version and also Adobe Reader 8. The link is available in jsp page.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Eric-
    FYI, this is a forum for storage and sharing...photoshop.com and revel. If you have acrobat issues you might want to make a note of the other forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com shows a list of all of them, and specifically http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat  this one for Acrobat
    But, since I have had this same issue myself...
    On Windows, locate your pdf document. Right click it and select "open with". Select Adobe Acrobat. That should do it. On MAC, I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is a similar setting.
    Good luck.

  • How to open -pdf in a secure environment

    Opening PDF files from a secured account on Internet (e.g. telephone billing info) does not work. in Safe as the file is shown as _pdf (underscore instead of dot).  We suspect this problem started after installing CS6, but are not sure. Win 7, IE 9, Reader XI

    PDF on a regular website can be opened and downloaded. However, PDF on a secure website (https) looks normal with normal icon but double click gives screen for open / save / save as. ‘Open’ gives no result, no error message either. ‘Save’ or ‘save as’ shows screen with filename ending on _pdf, which cannot be opened or saved, no error messages either. Changing the filename into .pdf gives the same reaction: nothing happens, no error messages.
    The same files can be opened on a different PC win7, IE9, Reader XI and similar software, but without CS6.

  • How to open pdf files in browser using flex

    hi,
    my project is having a Document explorer wchich contains pdf
    files,iwant to open it in the browser.can any one tell me how to
    open pdf documents using flex programming(i tried with different
    thing like swf's but my client wants only pdf formatt).

    Another option is by calling a JSP page. This example will
    open a pdf file into a new browser without displaying the download
    "save" prompt.
    Function to call the JSP:
    private function downloadFlyer(event:Event):void {
    var jspLink:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("jsp/downloadpdf.jsp?fileName=Fundraiser_flyer_2008.pdf");
    navigateToURL( jspLink, "_blank" );
    JSP code:
    <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
    <%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
    <%
    //Get the parameters
    String downloadFileName=request.getParameter("fileName");
    String fileName = application.getRealPath("/downloads/" +
    downloadFileName);
    File file = new File(fileName);
    if (!file.exists()) {
    throw new IOException("File does not exist.");
    // Get the size of the file
    long length = file.length();
    // You cannot create an array using a long type.
    // It needs to be an int type.
    // Before converting to an int type, check
    // to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
    throw new IOException("File too big.");
    response.reset();
    response.resetBuffer();
    response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
    response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "filename=" +
    downloadFileName);
    //Prevent the Java error: "getOutputStream() has already
    been called for this response"
    out.clear();
    out = pageContext.pushBody();
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
    OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
    try {
    int curByte=-1;
    while( (curByte=in.read()) !=-1){
    output.write(curByte);
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
    ioe.printStackTrace(System.out);
    } finally{
    output.flush();
    in.close();
    response.flushBuffer();
    %>

    Unfortunatly, most of the PDF questions I have seen recently aren't simply "How do I launch another application in Windows"
    Edit: What Jeff and Dennis were getting at in their own way is that you can easily launch adobe reader to display a pdf if that is your only goal.  See: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/68A6F2A00872837E862576940059C142
    I am also quite certain you could find an ActiveX object that would just display PDFs as well.

  • How To Open PDF Attached file use CLIENT_HOST 11 g forms

    How to open pdf file on client side at 11 g forms ?
    when i open any attached (PDF )file on client side is not open those file open on server side plz guide me how to  open those file on client machine using client host?
    thanks

    Where is the pdf you are trying to open? Is it on the server or the client? If the file is stored on the server then you can access it using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT assuming it is stored in a place that has a virtual mapping. For example:
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://server/someLocation/file.pdf','_blank');If the file is on the client then you need to configure your application to use WebUtil. Then you can do what Francois suggested.

    Hi Ram,
    Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
    After logging into Desktop Intelligence, you may be presented with a message stating:
    u201CYou have received 1 document from users"
    Examining the Inbox from within the Desktop Intelligence client shows no objects visible in your Inbox.
    The object in your Inbox is in a format other than Desktop Intelligence format such as, PDF, XLS or other format. Therefore the object is not recognized by the Desktop Intelligence client inbox browser.
    Log in to Info View or the Central Management Console, browse to your Inbox and verify the file name and format that has been sent to your Inbox. The object may be saved, copied, moved or deleted as necessary.

  • Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

    Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate? 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Hi benlebvb,
    Are you running a 32- or 64-bit OS? Please see this thread: Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 Don't Work
    While that is not a supported configuration (Acrobat 7 on Windows 8), some customers have been able to make it work. The thread I've referenced should give you some good pointers.
    Best,
    Sara
