I can't open adobe files in firefox 4 Beta.

When I try to open an adobe file on a webpage, I get the following error message: The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser.
This started when I installed the Firefox 4 Beta.

Your System Details show that you do not have the Adobe Reader Plugin.
Make sure Adobe Reader/Acrobat is installed. If you are sure that it is installed,
I recommend -
1. Open Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat.
2. Click Help Menu and select Repair Adobe Reader\Repair Adobe Acrobat.

  • I can't open Adobe files and keep getting this message: "Adobe failed to connect to the DDE server" - anyone got a fix for this? I'm Windows 7, 64bit running Office 2010 Pro Plus - anyone got a fix for this?

    Forgot to mention I'm using Firefox V.4

    Hey Jorge,
    I've checked Reader, and there are no updates. I've run a Windows version compatibility test - although it only goes up to Vista, and not Windows 7.
    Anyway, it appears I can now open Adobe files - but I've found another issue: when I right-click on a file and scroll down to the 'send to email recipient', it doesn't automatically open an Outlook email with the file as an attachment - in fact it doesn't open Outlook at all, let alone automatically?
    Any clues?

  • I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

    I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

    Hi,
    Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
    If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
    Please let me know if that works.
    If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

  • Help - Can't open Adobe files, after expiration of Adobe pro free trial

    I had a 30-day free trial of Acrobat 11 Pro, since the free trial expired a few days ago I can't open Adobe files. When I try to open them a pop-up box appears telling me to buy Acrobat 11 Pro...when I decline, it automatically closes Adobe
    I want to read files with just basic Adobe reader (not Acrobat 11 Pro) and I don't know how to make it my default
    Do I need to purge Acrobat 11 Pro? (I'm using Microsoft OS)
    Thanks!

    Use the Adobe Cleaner to remove Acrobat and Reader COMPLETELY: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

  • Can't open pdf files with firefox

    After searching for a certain topic on Google I've tried to open the link with a pdf file, but nothing happens.
    I receive an error message as if the Proxy that we use here at the company was refusing the connection, but in fact, I've already configured it correctly. This error started after the last update to Firefox 33.0.2.
    I've already tried to change the configurations at Options > Applications > Portable Document Format with the option use Adobe Reader (default) and use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox), and also installed an Plugin "PDF Viewer", but nothing solved the problem.
    Does anyone has the same problem?
    Thanks

    ■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' <br> then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
    <br> note a choice of options is usually available
    * see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
    Firefox is of course a web browser. <br>Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
    Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

  • Can't open adobe files in my documents. Message says may be unsupported or corrupted.

    Cannot open Adobe files in my documents. They opened fine before.  Get a message that file is unsupported or possibly corrupted. But they were not e-mailed and I could open them a week ago.

  • Can't open PDF files in Firefox 16.0.1

    Mac OS 10.6.8, Firefox 16.0.1, PDF Viewer 0.6.39 installed. In Firefox>Preferences>Applications, PDFs are supposed to be handled by the PDF Browser 2.4.4 plug-in for Preview. However, when I try to view a PDF in Firefox, I get this:
    "We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
    "Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
    "To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively. Please contact your browser vendor for more details."
    Why is Adobe Reader trying to open the PDF when Preview is the default? How do I disable Adobe Reader from doing anything in Firefox?

    cor-el, you nailed it.
    There was a plug-in called "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI". With that disabled and the PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 enabled, I can now open PDFs in Firefox.

  • How can I open .chm files in Firefox?

    I'm trying to open a .chm file in Firefox. I've read that this is possible -- ultimately, I want to save the content out as something more accessible. But whether I right-click the .chm file in Windows Explorer, and use "Open with ... Firefox", or use the File/open menu command from within Firefox itself, it merely brings up a dialog box in Firefox asking me where to save the file, with the same filename and filetype extension. I save the file, and the pattern repeats. It never opens.
    I can open the file in the Microsoft Help File utility, so I know it's a valid file, but that utility doesn't let me save or export it in any other format.
    I've gone into Options/Applications in Firefox to set how this filetype is handled, but can't find any reference to Compiled Windows Help Files on the list in any form, and I don't know how to add it as an option.
    How can I resolve this, please?
    For reference, I'm running Firefox 35.0.1 on Windows 7 x64. Thanks for any help.

    No, I know full well what .chm files are, and how to search for info about them. I'd rather have an answer to the specific question I asked, which I asked for specific reasons.
    You seem to have ignored my question, and leapt to massive assumptions about what I "really" need, and it's puzzling that you persist with them even after I've told you your assumptions are wrong. Your answers come across as somewhat patronising, maybe intentionally so - is that what you intended? Why would you do that?

  • How can I open PDF files in Firefox? Nothing works no matter what I try. Other browsers open them fine.

    When trying to open PDF file, screen just stays white and no content is seen. Status says "Done". PDF files will open with no problem in internet explorer, safari, and chrome. Nothing in Firefox which is my preferred browser.

    I have heard that trying to use Leopard with AppleWorks can cause a corruption of the hard drive. Is this true?
    No, not at all. AppleWorks actually runs better in Leopard on both my PPC & Intel Macs than it did in Tiger. I have found AppleWorks to be faster & more stable in Leopard on an Intel than any other system I've used.
    I repaired permissions (both before and after installing Leopard) and have also dumped AppleWorks preference file, then restarting all to no avail.
    There are more than one AppleWorks preferences to delete. Only deleting the .plist or just the files in the AppleWorks folder in Preferences will not work. They must all be deleted at the same time. Take a look at this user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly.
    Deleting the preferences often fixes printing problems. Also, make sure you have the newest driver for your printer from the manufacturer's web site.
    I did install Leopard as an update rather than wiping my HD and doing a new install. Should I delete AppleWorks and all associated files and reinstall AppleWorks and reinstall Leopard from scratch?
    Possibly. I chose to do erase & install with migrating users & data for all of my Macs. I did try the upgrade with the MacBook Pro & it was a disaster with failure to start up after installing Leopard. I was willing to take the chance because everything on my MacBook Pro is on my desktop Mac.

  • I can´t open pdf-files from firefox.

    When i try to open a pdf-file from firefox nothings happens.
    The problem started when i downloaded Firefox version 8.0.1.
    In safari it works.

    Your PDF reader plug-in is quite old. Make sure to update your plug-ins (Adobe Reader, Java, Flash, etc.)<br /><br />
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    The latest Adobe Reader plug-in for Mac Intel is 10.1.1 and you are using version 7.0.9

  • Can't open adobe files online

    I just bought a new macbook pro.  Trying to open adobe reader files online and I keep getting a message saying, Launch adobe and agree to license.  I have tried to download adobe and have taken the same steps on as the adobe website recommends.  Any ideas? 

    Have you tried what the message suggests: open Adobe Reader by itself and agree to the EULA?

  • How can I open pdf files in Firefox?

    Since reinstalling FF 3.6.13 I can no longer open pdf documents from links in websites or email. I have Foxit Reader plugin but it does not show up in Tools > Options > Applications.
    Firefox 3.6.14 installed. Same problem.
    (Please don't make me go back to Internet Explorer.)

    I don't know if this is any help I have had a problem where the pdf files were not opening correctly which I think was the problem here. I spent hours of head scratching and have now found out what the problem is. Right click on the Adobe Reader Icon on the desktop. Select properties and then the compatibility tab. You will see the uppermost section in this screen is Compatibility mode. I have Windows 7 and mine was set to Windows XP. I changed that to Windows 7 and now the problem is resolved. In short use the above instructions to check you are using the right compatibility mode for the version of Windows you are using and your troubles should be over!!
