In some web pages, pdf files are downloaded in very small kb and not opening despite I have Adobe reader, Pro and plug in

I have Firefox 3.6.6, downgraded from higher versions since I have this problem below.
At some web pages (mostly professional academic sites like Oxford Journals), when I am clicking to get pdf of an article, Firefox start downloading ridiculously small size and cannot open it as it gives the message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ..."
I know the file is not damaged, because I can open them in explorer. And some websites are also working properly in Firefox. I do not care if it opens in firefox or pops up separately.
I have reloaded Acrobat and Firefox but problem continues.

hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

  • I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader.

    I want to save large pdf files from my computer to my iPad so I can view them in Adobe Reader. I do not want to view them in iBooks or Quickoffice. Since I cannot email these large files, how can I get them on my iPad? Thanks for your help.

    I think that Adobe reader supports file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under "devices". Click on the Apps Tab in the window on the right. Scroll down to the File Sharing Apps list under the main apps list. Click on Adobe Reader. Drag the documents into the file sharing window on the right or select them using the "add" button.
    Launch the Adobe reader app and the files should be in there.

    Hi noswam123,
    If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open that document is with the password. You will have to get that password from the person who created the PDF.

    I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem. I've tried printing as image but that did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and downloaded Adobe Reader X instead and that still doesn't work. I have Windows 7.

  • Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?

    Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?
    The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

    I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

    Quit Safari.

  • I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

    I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
    Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
    The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
                "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
    Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
    - I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
    - in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.      
    If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.
    Cheers

    Did you check what I would consider the first place to look:

    If the site is still down (at least 12 hours) when you read this try [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A//kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Google's cache]
    Link or url would make it easier to see which page you tried rather than "your online solution for ...".

  • PDF file from Outlook folder created with Standard X not opened with Reader XI _ Flash issue ?

    Dear Community,
    I tried to fix this issue but i have to admit i'm stuck right now :
    Computer on windows 7 SP1 with Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Standard X installed.
    On Outlook 2010, I convert a folder to a PDF file so i can navigate offline and share the mails with colleagues.
    At the end of the conversion, Adobe Standard X opens and all the tree architecture of the PDf is available, browse in all files, open attached documents...
    But as soon as, on my computer or on other computer only with Reader XI, the PDF file (whatever it's size and number of mails inside) is to be opened with Reader, there's a message saying that flash player compatible with Adobe Reader and Acrobat as to be installed.
    There's no precision regarding the flash version to use, and clicking on the link to open web browser, no page is opened (no internet issue).
    After 1 minute, Reader finnally opens but only displaying the first file of the PDF (in my case the first mail of the outlook folder).
    i have the latest flash player version installed
    Can anybody tell me if this problem is known ? or if someone knows how to fix it so the pdf file can be fully used in Reader ??
    Many thanks for your help.
    Regards
    AppleAddict

    Hi Kiro ,
    Did you try opening that file in any other browser ?If not ,please try doing that once and see if that  works for you.
    Try Repairing Acrobat once and see if  that helps.
    Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help>Repair Acrobat Installation.

  • Pdf files are downloading and not opening

    Firefox on Android was; when viewing a web page with a link for a PDF would simply prompt you to open with, I select Acrobat and it opens.
    Now, the PDF ALWAYS downloads - not acceptable.
    This was working as expected just 2 weeks or so ago; what's changed?
    PS - I did try the PDF add-on which sort of works, but performance is so bad it is unusable.

    Thanks Philipp.
    I was using FF with a local web site canned on the SD card of my tablet, and it has a lot of PDF collateral for quick viewing when there is no Wi-Fi.
    Firefox was the only Android Browser that worked with a local web site fully contained on the SD card or Local storage. Bummer.

  • When pdf files are downloaded from the net they show up in different fonts like its encrypted?

    when we try to download pdf files from the internet the document shows up weird like the file is encrypted. the files show up with lots of spaces and numbers and letters mixed together. what can we do to fix this problem?

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.
