I can't read PDF files online, they must be saved. How can I go back to having the option to read them online?

When I click on a link to view a PDF file, Firefox tries to make me save the file. This started when I clicked the "do this every time" check box for ONE file. Now I can't undo the selection and my Applications Options control window is completely blank: not only are no PDF options available, no options are available for ANY file type. I have to use Google Chrome to view PDFs online without saving them. I'm running Firefox version 34.0 but the problem started with version 33.

Part of the AAQ (ask a question) process is to ask if you want to supply troubleshooting information.

  • Why can't close open multiple docs in Word 2010 in multiple windows while having the option to close them out while keeping Word open?

    End User of mine is wanting to open multiple docs in Word 2010.....first initial glance I thought it was a PICNIC issue. But when addressing it she has it set up to NOT "Show all windows in the taskbar" that option is unchecked so that way she
    can close out docs in Word and not actually close Word. But with unchecking that box it only stacks the docs it won't display them in mutliple windows. This is not the case with Excel as she has the option enabled to "Show all windows in the taskbar"
    but yet the enduser still has the option to close out the spreadsheet and keep Excel open. Is there anyway to keep that second smaller x in Word to close out the docs but yet open in multiple windows like Excel does?
    Please advise!
    Thank you and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi VyDrix13,
    What will happen if you check the option of “Show all windows in the taskbar”?
    If you want to closing document and keep Word open, the alternative is to click File > Close, right there under Open and Save.
    You also can add the Close button to the Quick Access Toolbar.
    If there is anything that I can do for you regarding this issue, feel free to post back.

  • I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

    I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements).  I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled.  I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files.  No problem viewing acrobat files.  I'm runnnig Windows 7,  IE9.     I can acces them through Chrome.

    RESOLVED
    I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
    1) - Libre Office - latest update.  This is a fork of Open Office.  (unlikely)
    2) - ManyCam video manipulation software  (likely)
    Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive.  When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!).   When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
    I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
    This resolved the problem 100%.
    So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems.  They may be running or installing an older version.  In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
    Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
    Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project.  Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well.  In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
    So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens.  In my case that fixed the problem.

  • Reading pdf files online

    Hello,
    I hope this is the right forum to post this issue-  Anyway, my problem is the actual reading of pdf files online. Most of my documents, using Acrobat.com, are on average 25 pages. However, when I attempt to read a document, I can never get past a certain page before it goes back to page one. For example, i can go through pages 1, 2, 3 or maybe up to 5, then it would go back to page one. I assumed that happened because the document had not fully loaded in the browser (firefox or google chrome) and maybe needed time to do so but even after ten minutes the problem remained.
    Downloading the file to read is not a problem as it shows nothing is wrong with the file. So my question is: is this a problem that is being looked at or is one expected to download and read the files? I understand that it is beta and I have high hopes for it but i hope u can answer sometime.
    Thanks in advance

    I'm sorry you're running into this error when previewing your PDF on Acrobat.com. I know this sounds odd, but try to use the scroll bar on the side of the document and/or the arrow keys up top for flipping through the pages, and let me know if this clears up the issue. I also had trouble using the arrow keys to flip through a PDF, but when I tried the scroll bar it worked and then the arrow keys worked properly as well.
    Let us know if this helps!

  • Printing a PDF file online with any OJ 100 printer,we receive unknown error light sequence.

    When printing a PDF file online on all of our Officejet 100 Mobile L411 USB printers, we encounter an undocumented error light sequence. The error light sequence we encounter is Power light blinks in conjuction with the Bluetooth light then those 2 lights blink off and the Resume light and both cartridge lights  blink on. then those three lights blink off and the power light and the Bluetooth light blink on again and so it goes. You cannot reset this error by any other means other than powering the printer down and the printer will not power down with the power button. The only way the printer will power down with the above flashing light sequence showing is to disconnect AC power and remove the battery.
    With the above described flashing light sequence displayed, the printer has no problem continuing to print and will continue to print other documents with the flashing light seguence displayed.
    If the above mentioned PDF file is saved off to the computer and then printed from there, it will print on this printer ok without starting the flashing light sequence described above so evidently there are control characters attached to the online PDF file that get stripped off when the document is saved. I don't know what those characters could be but I do know that only all of the Officejet 100 printers we have display this problem. We can print the same documents on our HP 470 mobile printers ok without any issues or have no problem printing the same document with other models of HP printers. It is only when printing this document with any HP Officejet 100 mobile L411 printer that we have this problem.
    As mentioned above, the flashing light sequence described above is not a sequence described in the Operators Manual so we don't know what it means. Also it is apparent that the online document(s) we are printing have some control characters attached to them that are incompatible with this printer but we do not know what characters they are. Are there some settings that we can setup in the printers properties that would solve this issue for us?
    As I have explained above, this particular flashing light seguence does not keep the printer from printing the online documents or any other documents succesfully, however this sequence cannot be reset by any other way other than killing all power to the printer.

    Hi Bailie,
    You might try looking for a paper jam or carriage jam.

    Look at the 15th issue.  That's the closest I could find.

  • Cannot open PDF files online with Firefox 4, help suggests foxit but don't know what that is?

    Earlier versions of Firefox allowed me to open PDF files online, without downloading. Firefox 4 does not allow me to open and read PDF files online, but requires downloading to computer.
    Help suggest altering settings in FOXIT READER, manually, but I don't know how to access Foxit reader, if I have it.
    Can I alter settings in Firefox 4, or do I have to go back to earlier version.
    Thanks

    I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
    I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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, remove any items that have the letters “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.
    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.

  • Viewing PDF files online

    I recently tried to view a file online that is a pdf file but I instead viewed a window that said Unknown File Type. I have Adobe Professional installed but do I also need Adobe Reader to view PDF file online?

    Just to update, i have a better way to view PDF as HTML on any phone browser. It does not need any installation!
    Online version of iReader works on any phone that comes with a web browser such as iPhone, Nokia or PocketPC. Conveniently, reading can be done offline as it automatically save on your phone! It will automatic bookmark upon exit too. To use iReader, go to

    I thought I ordered Adobe Reader.  Had information from your company that I was charged $13.00 and some change, I think that was the amount, after I completed my credit card information.  Can’t find it – guess it wasn’t an email.  Anyway, I will order whatever I have to in order to be able to open the pdf files as I need to see them for my work with the government.  What do I need to do?  I need it today.  And what is the cost for export pdf?
