How can i open pdf files from the web without saving them

Windows 7
Firefox 5
Adobe Reader 9
when i want to see a web based pdf file i have to save it before opening it instead of it just opening in a pdf window.

You can't.
Those PDFs are only accessible on the Mac.
They can not even be accessed by iOS.

Can't open PDF files in the browser. I've tried every fix mentioned and it still doesn't work!!!

I have Windows XP. Using firefox as my browser. Suddenly, I can't open PDF files in the browser. I've tried all the fixes mentioned. Nothing works!!! Checked the plugin settings, checked Adobe Reader settings.

I already fixed it. I never exited out of Firefox before deleting the mime file. it works now.

How can I open PDF files? The usual procedures don't work for me. Thanks.

How can I open PDF files? Until a couple of months ago, I had no problem. Now I can open none of them. I have Adobe Reader X. Yesterday I uninstalled Adobe X, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled Adobe X. No success. Thanks.

What happens if you open Reader first then use File>Open like Bernd suggested?
Are you sure you are opening them in Reader and not a text editor or MS Word? I ask because Reader will not prompt you for a language.

I can't open pdf files. The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

I can't open pdf files.

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.

Opening PDF files on the web with IPad

Hi everyone
I am having difficulty opening some (but not all) pdf files on the web with my IPad. When I click on the icon it comes up with approx half of the first page of the document, but nothing else. It also does not provide an "open in" bar. Any thoughts on what is going on here?
With thanks, Mike.

Thank you for following up. We often have people reporting similar problems and I suggest they follow up with the website owner but I rarely hear back from the original poster so I'm never sure that this is indeed the problem. Ironically, serving a document for mobile is almost easier than serving it to a desktop browser because there are no plugins to get in the way. That said, a lot of website owners have gone through pains to do plugin detection and user authentication and authorization and mobile represents another case that they would need to handle on top of what they already do.

Problem of opening PDF files on the web

I have installed the latest version of Acrobat Reader, but I still couldn't read some PDF files on the web, what should i do?

Hi wings57638543,
1. Which browser are you using?
2. Are there some specific files that you are unable to load in the browser? Can you share the link?
3. In Reader DC, go to Edit->Preferences->General and click on "Select As Default PDF Handler" button. Then try loading those PDFs.
Thanks.

Now with the new mac mini and the new user, I get an error, because the firefox (safari too) can not oper the folder Users/xxx/Desktop....

It sounds like you copied your firefox profile across from your other computer and just need to change the destination for downloaded files. Under Firefox->Preferences, look in the Main tab under downloads where it says "Save files to" and click "Choose" to change the destination directory. That ought to fix it.

Issue with opening PDF files from the web Acrobat 8.1.4

Hello everyone
I just found out about this problem today, and it manifests in such a manner that when you try to open a PDF document on the web, it hangs for a while, and then the standard message about Adobe Acrobat not being able to open the document comes up, and after you OK away that you get the message that the program shuts down.
If I download the PDF itself and open it locally it works. Is there any known issue with updates recently that creates this problem?
The system is running on Windows 7 32-bits, and Adobe Acrobat is a part of the CS3 Master Collection.
Greetings from Alexander

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

Can't open PDF-Files with the 64Bit Photoshop-Version but with 32Bit Version

Hello,
our company use Photoshop in combination with PDF-Files. Normally we can open every of our PDFs with Photoshop.
But now we have some PDFs that we can't open with the 64Bit version. If we try it the application crashes.
But we are able to open the same files with the 32Bit version of Photoshop. We assume a bug in the 64Bit Version.
Please contact me to get the a PDF-Sample-File because i am not allowed to append the file to a public space.
Regards

I can not view pdf. files on the web.

I have downloaded the latest Adobe reader.
I can open and view existing pdf files on my desktop.
I can not however view any pdf files from web sites.

Yes, it was working.
Last week I cleaned up my hard drive using an app. called OmniDiskSweeper.
I deleted what I thought was an extra copy of Adobe Reader 9.
Today, I tried to open an pdf file on a website and just got a dark page.
I tried several different websites with the same result.
I was able to open existing pdf files located on my desktop.
I then downloaded and reinstalled both Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3 .
I am still unable to open and view pdf files on web sites.

After installing Adobe, I find I can't open pdf files and the program shuts down automatically.

Older versions of Adobe did not give me this trouble. What's wrong?

What is your operating system?
What is your Reader version?

Lately pdf files from the Web do not display properly; what is wrong and how can I fix it so I don't have to use IE?

I am a professor and frequently need to open pdfs of academic journal articles from electronic databases. Within the last two or three weeks, when I try to do this using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf displays and the rest are blank. In addition, a bar appears across the top with the message "This pdf file may not display properly." So I have had to switch to Internet Explorer to open the files and do my research. What is going on and how can I fix it so I can open pdf files from the Web in Firefox and have them display properly?

My question is simple - why would you put an application in production that has a lot of bugs? To replace a good and steady Adobe product? My customers will believe that I put a pathetic fallible form online. They are not sophisticated on computers so I just tell them to use IE. Ugh
I must agree with pgwebgirl!
