I cannot open pdf's via any browser links on my macbook running leopard 10.5.8.

Hi, I cannot open to PDF's via any browser links on my macbook (1 yr old) running leopard 10.5.8. I have latest adobe reader installed but when I click a link to open a pdf from various sites no matter what browser it just opens a blank tab. Any thoughts?

Here, it has to be there, but it may be minimised. You just have to press the grey arrow. I took a before/after screenshot for you.

  • After some running time I cannot download large files via any browser.

    I am running OS X 10.9.2 on a 27inch iMac 2013 model.
    If I keep it running (without sleeping) for some time, perhaps a week, I can no longer download any large files via any browser. It will start and after a very short time go down to 0 B/s, stall there and at the end aboft with an "Unknown network error" or something similar.
    Has anyone seen similar problems?

  • Cannot open PDF tutorials in Inspiration Browser?

    Hello, I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 & with it I would like to try using the Adobe Photoshop.com Inspiration Browser tutorials.  However, every time I try to open a PDF tutorial on the Inspiration Browser I get an error message stating, "A sufficient version (8.1 or later) of Adobe Reader is detected, but the version of Adobe Reader that is setup to handle PDF content is older than Reader 8.1."
    I do have 2 Adobe programs (other than Elements) on my computer.  I have Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0, & then I have Adobe Reader 9.  I am using my work computer for this & we have to have both Standard 6.0 & Reader 9 for work purposes.  My computer is set to automatically use Standard 6.0 if I click a PDF file, but I've tried changing this for the time being & the PDFs in the Inspiration Browser still will not open (I get the same error message even though if I click a PDF file on my computer with these settings changed Reader 9 does open it).  I'm not sure why this is happening, because if I change the "open with..." settings to automatically use Reader 9 when I click a PDF, then it should be working in the Inspiration Browser, shouldn't it?  The error message is stating I need 8.1 or later, which I obviously have with Reader 9.
    I've tried restarting the Inspiration Browser (even tried restarting Elements as well), I've tried already having Reader 9 open when I click the "View PDF" button, but nothing is working.  I just always get the same error message.
    I obviously cannot delete/uninstall Standard 6.0 as I need it for my work, so I'm not sure what to do.  If anyone knows a way to fix this, please share?  Thanks!!!

    Have you tried posting in the Photoshop.com forum? It's doesn't have an icon but is listed in the pull down search box.

  • I cannot open pdf files in my browser

    Adobe Reader 10.1.1 will not open pdf files from the web.  Operating system:  Mac OS X 10.6.6.  No problem with previously downloaded files.

    Hi Vikram,
    I have this trouble in Firefox, and Safari, and Chrome. I can no longer open .pdf documennts on line in any browser configuration.
    I have tried serveral browser versions and serveral Reader versions, same result. Running Mac OS 10.6.8, just after a full rebuild and this is the most annoying result.
    I do have the above suggestion checked, which I believe is the default setting, as I was always able to use a single cilck to open all .pdf files. Noticed this first with download of most current Reader. Currently have 9.5.2.
    It began when I installed most current version after the rebuild of the OS.
    Any help would be gratefully appeciated.
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • After most recent update (3.6.10) cannot connect to internet via any browser or application (Windows Vista)

    I recently updated Firefox to 3.6.10 on a Windows Vista machine and have been unable to connect to the internet with any application since. Any help you can provide would be graciously appreciated.
    Upon receiving the "Firefox has updated and needs to restart" message, I continued to browse the internet for a period of time. When I finished what I was doing, I restarted the browser. When it came back up, it failed to connect to the internet. Signal strength from wireless network is "Very Good" and indicates that I am connected to the internet. I have tried the following with no success:
    - Attempted to connect to internet with Internet Explorer
    - Restarted the machine
    - Disabled Windows firewall
    - Checked that Internet Options settings had not changed
    - Connected to different wireless networks
    After each of the above, I tried to connect with IE and Firefox.
    As an amateur it seems that this isn't a Firefox problem, but I have to assume since the connection was good immediately before restarting the program and the completely inoperative after restarting, that it has something to do with the installation. Thank you very much for your time.
    Reed

    PROBLEM SOLVED:
    In Internet Options under Connections > Settings, "Use system settings" was selected. Changing the selection to "Automatically detect proxy settings for this network" in connection settings allowed all applications to connect to the internet.
    Why "System settings" continues to work on my XP system after the update and why it worked on the Vista system before the update but not after the update is a mystery... but as long as it works, who cares

  • Cannot open pdf documents in Safari

    I use Yahoo Mail and cannot open pdf attachments (via Safari) like I used too.  Safari attempts to open but stalls.  I have the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader installed App.

    Take the adobe stuff out of /Library/Internet Plug-ins.

  • SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 - cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas?

    SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 … cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas? (Here is the message: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital_Holiday_Cookbook.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

    Thank you Pat!!!

  • I cannot open PDF filkes sent via email. I used too. nHow do I fix.

    Cannot open PDF files sent via email. The open via Word in encripted jinerish. This has not happend until now.
    Ciro

    I had the same problem.  My version of RoboHelp is pretty old (x5) and the problem was with pdfs made up in version 9.  Some pdfs would open and some would not.  It depended on the version used to make the pdf.  Got error messages and corrupted file messages.
    I solved the problem by using the full version of Acrobat and using the pdf Optimizer to make compatible with version 5( just to make sure).
    Another option is to "print" to the pdf printer when the file is open.
    Both then can be imported into RoboHelp without a problem
    Hope this helps.  It ruined many days at work for me while I tried to figure out what on earth I was going to do.

    Why the question marks? Can you open PDF files or not? You don't need Firefox to open PDF files.

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

  • Cannot Open PDF in Safari

    Can someone please help.
    I cannot open PDF files through Safari. I've read some of the other comments on the same/similar issue and I have tried those steps and have been unsuccessful. I still cannot view PDF files through Safari, in fact, the Preview doesn't even open. When it worked the preview icon would pop up in the tool bar at the bottom of my Mac Book, but it no longer does that. Here is what I've tried;
    Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
    Removed Adobe from applications and deleted.
    Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
    Went to internet preferences and un clicked enable plug ins.
    Not quite sure what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

    Hi Roxana ..
    Which Mac OS X do you have installed and which version of Safari ??
    Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
    You do if you want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files.
    Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
    There are two libraries. One is root  /Library
    The other denotes your Home folder   ~/Library  (the Tilde character represents your Home folder)
    Go to  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    If you see the Adobe PDF browser plugin or just PDF Browser plugin, move that to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.

  • Cannot open pdf with IE/ windows 7.

    Dear friends, and those who understand better than I.  I have been working on this situation for over a week.  I cannot open pdf from the browser.  I tried the "patch " as discussed in a different forum, but still only get the link to open in a seperate white blank page.  Any ideas?  I dont mind going back to an older version other than 10.1.2. I just dont know how to do that either, as I have not had to work this in depth with any software for years.

    Thanks for responding to this matter.  When I double click the link to open the pdf... a new tab opens with a blank screen.  It is white.  When I try to refresh, nothing happens.  I have also tried to save/download the file, and open it through that way.  When asked to save the document "pdf" is not available.  Only "all files."  However when I try to retrieve it, it says download is not available, as in... it did not download or save. 
    1.  All web browser options are selected.  I have already tried to uncheck, one, and all of these boxes.  Still the same results. 
    2.  I have tried several URL... All of the documents I have tried to retrieve have been within a secured website, such as salliemae.com (trying to view a 1098 for my student loan), and mycheckfree.com (trying to view bills from ComED and Nicor Gas). 
    If I open an old pdf on my computer... I can still read that.   
    Thank you for your time and help.  Im so frustrated, and missing deadlines!

  • Cannot open .pdfs in Firefox

    My wife's machine is running Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Cannot open .pdfs in the browser. Clicking a link to a .pdf will open a new tab that immediately closes, leaving me right back where I was, as if I had never clicked the link. I can right click, then Save As, download the file and open in Adobe Acrobat X. But that's not what I want, and not how it was designed.
    Internet Explorer 11 opens .pdfs in the environment described above, in-browser, with no problems.
    I've followed all the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972278 and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html. Neither Mozilla's nor Adobe's instructions can get me up and running.
    As a nuclear option, I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, restarted the machine, uninstalled Firefox, restarted the machine, re-installed Adobe Acrobat, restarted the machine, and re-installed Firefox, and restarted the machine. Attempting to open any .pdf yields the same result, even after uninstalling and re-installing everything. What's going on here? Why does Firefox open a blank tab, and then close it right away? Block pop-ups is set to off, and antivirus pop-up blocking is disabled.
    My own machine running Windows 7, Firefox 34.0.5, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard opens .pdfs in-browser just fine, with no problems.
    Any advice? I'm pulling my hair out!! Thanks for your time.

    Hey,
    Try the following:
    * Go to setting (3 bars) > options > applications.
    * Under applications panel.
    * Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it.
    * Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select Use PDF reader name (in Firefox) or preview in firefox.
    If PDF files are still downloaded instead of displayed, try these solutions
    Reset download actions
    * Open your profile folder:
    Click the menu button[[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help[[Image:Help-29]]and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
    Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
    Click the menu button[[Image:New Fx Menu]]and then click Exit [[Image:Close 29]]
    Delete the mimetypes.rdf file.
    Then open firefox again and see.
    I hope it helps.
