In Firefox, I cannot access web links to PDF files. I'm told the browser isn't compatible. I have recent versions of both Firefox and Acrobat, and the pages open fine in IE.

Any website that send me to a .pdf file will not open if I'm using firefox. In order to print postage from usps.com, for example, an Acrobat window has to open, and it won't.

Pat, thanks for your reply. I finally had some time to look further into this problem and still trying to figure out. First to answer your questions:
what is your operating system & version? Windows 7 Professional
on what browser(s) does that happen? Google Chrome, Firefox, IE
does it happen for any PDF link, e.g. this? Yes, any link with a pdf extension
does it still hapen with the latest Reader version 10.1.4? Yes, just downloaded it last week and still the same.
Another thing I noticed is afer unsuccessfully trying to access the pdf link, the resulting blank page reads "Could not load Adobe Acrobat" (could not load plug-in).
I do have Adobe Creative Suite 3 installed, which of course provides for Adobe Acrobat; I'm not sure if there is a conflict there, but I might uninstall everything and then just try with Adobe Reader to see from there.
I hope some of this helps. I appreciate your efforts in trying to assist.
Cheers,
Vinnie.

Can anybody help!

How do I add web links to PDF files

I have a pdf file with a list of songs, and I need to add a web link to each one.
How do I do it?
Henry.

Hi,
That is not possible via CreatePDF, in createPDF you need to upload the file on your machine for convertion. For Website convertion to PDF, you would require Adobe Acrobat.

I have URL links to PDFs in an excel spreadsheet, the document opens in Internet Explorer, even though Firefox is my Default browser

I have been through all of the default browser setups and I still Internet Explorer opens. I have an internet shortcut to an excel document on my desktop and Firefox opens just fine.
Any ideas?

SPA122 cannot access web configuration utility

The new SPA122 device connected to router through DHCP.
I can see IP-address on router's web page, can ping it, and receive it with ****110# IVR command.
But I cannot access web configuration utility in the browser: the page is unavailible. I tried to allow WAN access with ****7932#1#1 IVR action - the problrem still on.
Can You give me any advice what to do.

You can also connect to the lan/ethernet side of the device, do an ipconfig /renew
You should get an address on the 192.168.15 network, the default for the router in the ATA is 192.168.15.1
Then you can set up the non default password, enable the wan web server (administration tab I think).

HT1904 I cannot access iTunes on my iPad. When I click the iTunes button, it shows terms and conditions and when I click the terms and conditions link, it takes me to the Internet and that is it. Kindly help.

I cannot access iTunes on my iPad. When I click the iTunes button, it shows terms and conditions and when I click the terms and conditions link, it takes me to the Internet and that is it. Kindly help.

If you are just seeing the Terms and Conditions link in the Downloads tab then that just means that there aren't any downloads waiting. If you want to browser the store then can are you not able to tap on the other tabs at the bottom of the app ?
If you are looking for your downloaded and synced content then they won't be in the iTunes app (that is just the store) - your music, audiobooks and audio podcasts will be in the Music app and your films and tv shows in the Videos app.

Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005
