IE 8 will not display a PDF xp sp3

Adobe reader worked fine till I was forced to reinstall IE8 on my xp sp3 machine. Now it will not open a pdf on the web, however Fire Fox using the same adobe reader has no problems on the same website. Tried all the "manage add on ideas, nothing. get the following message " There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader, if it is running, please exit and try again (1014:1014). "

Try disable Protected Mode (Edit | Preferences | Security (Advanced)).

  • Adobe Reader Will Not Display Large PDFs

    When using the Adobe Reader app on PlayBook it will not display some PDFs. It seems that it will not display PDFs that are too large.
    Some files that might be too large do not display while smaller files do display in the app. The too large range could be in the 12 MB region where the good range could be 6 MB or less.
    I tried to submit feedback to BlackBerry on this issue but it returned my email saying it could not process my request. I am hoping that they read it here.
    Here is a link to a page with both readable and unreadable files:
    http://www.bossus.com/backstage/product_manuals/?g​roup=2
    A readable PDF is the owner's manual for the RV-3. A unreadable PDF is the owner's manual for the RC-3.

    That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect.  You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
    If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

  • Preview.app will not display some PDF files

    Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
    After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
    I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

    The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

  • I installed adobe reader but it will not display any pdf

    I installed adobe reader but it will not display any pdf

    What version of Reader in what OS? Does the program open? What happens when you use File->Open to open a pdf file on your computer? Any error messages?

  • Preview 8.0 will not display some pdfs.

    I review documents that are available as PDF files from my local government. Preview 8.0 (Yosemite 10.10) can not display pdf documents created by the Registry of Deeds (Land Titles) since approximately 2005. As well the Finder previews and icons show all blank pages. The PDF files contain the correct number of pages, they are just totally blank.
    I installed Acrobat Reader (version 11.0.09) so I can continue to work, it displays all the documents correctly, but this is the first time in years that I have needed Reader on my Mac. The troublesome files appear as Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4) and Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.7), The documents I need to review might be TIFF or JPEG files that are made available as a PDF, I am waiting for their support department to tell me what format is used for the documents on the server.
    Does Preview 8.0 only display something newer that Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4)?

    Wunderboy,
    Have you heard back from Apple yet?  Has it been escalated to Engineering?
    I have only recently noticed this problem when trying to look at some bank statements which were downloaded.  There is a background that is is fine but like you the other data shows in the Thumbnails and briefly in the preview when the Thumbnail is clicked.
    Interestingly if I:
    a)     Export as a .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
    b)     Export... but then choose .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
    c)     Export... but then choose .jpg all is ok.
    b)     If I File / Print but save as a .pdf the background is ok but there is no other data.
    c)     Finally if I File / Print to a printer all is ok
    So a workaround is to Export .jpg and then Export that (.jpg) file back to .pdf.  Sounds like a an Automator script would help!
    Regards,
    Simon

  • FireFox 33.1 will not display the PDF file from Bank online site after 33.1

    I asked this question in an unrelated support ticket so I want to give more detail here. I have tried uninstalling Adobe reader and reinstalling it and it did not help. This was working before with all the exact same addins I had before. I called the Bank and asked if they had any problems and they say no. I can go to the Firefox PDF display for this file and click on download the PDF then double click it in Windows explorer and Adobe reader comes up and displays the file just fine. Don't mind doing that for now. What happens is the bank loads the file then Adobe reader displays with a white screen and a little circle going round and round, like a video is trying to play, and it just sits there forever. I never see the file contents. Anyway I hope your have a good of a day as I am and I know it get better. Thanks Firefox programmers for such a wonderful program.
    Update: While I was writing this I remembered to go into Firefox options, then Applications, and wouldn't you know it, a PDF document was set to "Preview in Firefox". I changed that to Adobe reader and now it works just fine. Guess there's something wrong with the Preview code in Firefox. So I'm happy now. Hope this helps someone.

    Yes, the built-in PDF viewer is a work in progress. Glad you found a workaround, or got back to your preferred configuration, depending on how you look at it.

  • TS1702 My iPhone 4s will not display any pdf file in any of several apps. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

    I have tried several apps including Adobe Reader, PDFReader Lite and iBooks to open PDF files. No files I sync to the 4S are even displayed, much less opened. I'd like to hear from anyone who has been able to overcome a similar problem.

    OK, glad that worked!
    How about trying this as step 2:
    When you open the PDF attachment in Mail that you can read, click the action (right arrow) button near the top right of your screen.  One of the options there should be "Open in iBooks".  Does that work for you?  It should!

  • How do i Restore Preview as my default viewer when using Safari,seems adobe has hi jacked Safari,if i uninstall adobe safari will not open any pdf files.

    How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
    Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.
    Have uninstalled adobe but safari then will not display any pdf files.
    Preview still works fine to view existing downloaded files.

    Niac --
    What kind of files?  PDFs?  or Others as well?
    If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
    Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
    When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
    Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
    Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.

  • Safari will not display pdf files since installing OS 10.8.2

    Safari will not display pdf files uner Lion 10.8.2

    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.

  • PDF will not display in an IE browser window

    I have the following setup:
    Windows Vista Business w/ SP2
    Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.6001.18813)
    Adobe Reader 9 (9.1.3)
    When accessing a PDF document using IE8, the PDF will not display in an IE browser window.  Instead, the PDF opens in a new Adobe Reader window.
    When accessing the same PDF in Firefox or Chrome, the PDF appears in the browser window.
    I have tried repairing Adobe Reader using the Help>Repair Adobe Reader Installation menu, both by running Adobe Reader as an admin and not.  I have confirmed that Adobe Reader "Internet" preference "Display PDF in Browser" option is enabled (checked).  I have enabled/disabled this preference without affect.  The PDF document is always opened in it's own Adobe Reader window.
    I have tested this using different PDF documents served up by different servers.  The result is the same.  The PDF document is always opened in it's own Adobe Reader window.
    How can I get the PDF to open in an IE8 browser window?
    I look forward to any suggestions offered.

    Hi Carolyn,
    I am experiencing the same symptoms as gaijindragonslayer described above, and my Internet Plug-ins folder is empty. I would like to have Preview as my default pdf reader, but am unable to view a pdf in Safari at all right now -- I have to download the pdf and then open it with Preview separately in order to view it.
    What else might cause this?
    Thanks for your help.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
