Internet Explorer 8 with Adobe Reader 11 in one package - embedded PDF problem

Hello,
I am trying to package Internet Explorer 8 together with Adobe Reader 11 in ThinApp 5 for Windows 7. I am capturing on clean Windows XP with IE6. Of course, I am using "IEShims.dll" for IE8 in order to make it work in ThinApp.
From the first look everything is ok, both application could be launched, but there are several issues:
1) When I try to open embedded PDF file, IE hangs and loses response. I have found workaround for this: Adobe Reader should be opened at least 1 time before opening embedded PDF files. But I have found 2nd issue.
2) Print button does not work. When I try to print embedded PDF from Adobe Reader instance, it does not work. Documents could be printed from virtual IE8 and from separate instance of Adobe Reader.
What could you advise me? Are there any "small" tricks and tweaks that may help me with this?
Thank you in advance!

Have you tried capturing these application in separate packages? I have been successful in capturing IE8 in one package and Adobe Reader XI in another package and then using the OptionalAppLinks option in the IE8 package to point to the Adobe Reader dat file. Just make sure that both packages work outside of the applinking. Also, you can try to install Adobe to the native machine and see if the embedded pdfs work in the virtual IE package.
These are just the troubleshooting steps that I would take to narrow down what is causing the issue you are seeing.

Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite

Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite installed

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

Adobe Reader X and Page Embedded PDFs

We are experiencing an issue across our corporation wherein, post-upgrade to Adobe Reader X, websites opened with Internet Explorer containing an embedded PDF frame now show a blank box instead of the PDF. Firefox will display these sites correctly and I have verified Firefox is using the updated Reader X plug-in. This has been tested across many configurations and behaves consistently in this fashion. Reversion to Adobe Reader 9 appears to solve the problem, however, this is not a true solution.
Help?

This may help a few of you here.
I'm running IE 8 and Adobe Reader X on a WIN64Bit system.
Reader X wouldn't open an embedded PDF with IE8 64BIT. AR X seems to like an older version of IE.
Go to your START menu and you should see "Internet Explorer" and "Internet Explore (64-bit)".
Open a window with the "Internet Explorer", not the (64-bit).
In the IE8 window you'll see a "?" on the tool bar. Open it and click on "About Internet Explorer".
You should NOT SEE "64-bit Edition".
If you don't see "64-Bit Edition", go and try to view the PDF again.
It works for me and it seems I'll have to live with it until there's a patch for 64-Bit.

PDF's not loading in browser - Internet Explorer 9, Adobe Reader X, Win 7 x64

I have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and have a site that uses forms that need to be filled and submitted. The problem is that when I open the form, they are opening in a seperate Window.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader
I've done 'detect' and repair several times.
I have checked and unchecked "Display PDF in browser" under EDIT -> PREFERENCES -> Internet
What I CAN tell is that when I go into Internet Explorer and look at the addons I do NOT see any of the acrobat add-ons that I see on my other computers (that work).
I've looked in the program files/common files/adobe/acrobat/active x folder and all the files are there but I don't see a way to make Internet Explorer force loading those or getting them in there manually.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm at my wits end!

Thank you for this.
One you said this I checked and it was running IE 64bit.
For some reason IE*64 was the default browser (which shouldn't happen). Since IE*32 wouldn't allow me to set it as default (greyed out) I installed Chrome, set it as default browser then fired IE*32 back up, set it as default and vioila it's fixed.
I'm embarrased I didn't think of that first....
Thank you!

Problems in IE -internet explorer- with Adobe web fonts embedded in EDGE compositions

Hi again friends,
For simplifying the problem: Im trying to create compositions, just some animated texts over video, using adobe web fonts in Edge. In this case using muse to insert them.
Everything works fine, but after uploading the result compositions, they always work fine in Chrome or Mozilla, but they dont work always fine in Explorer (tested in diferent versions and OSs).
Frustratingly, sometimes IE display the fonts correctly, some other times changes the font to arial or similar...
Frustrating example: Two instances of the same composition (only text moving over mp4 video) and sometimes one work fine and the other is changed to arial, some other times both ok, some other both arial.... its crazy.. just refresh, and it changes!!
If I create a page with only one composition (text over video) it works fine 90-95% of the times in IE. just refreshing... and after some good attempts.. the arial font apperar smiling to me!!!!!
Any suggestion?
What can I do?
Checked with diferent systems using latest versions of Edge and Muse in my job, only in Windows systems.
Sorry for my english, I hope is well explained...

Hi,
I have prepared for you a basic composition where the problem ALWAYS appear:
The page uses 2 compositions created in edge, inserted in a Muse project via .oam file (note that publishing directly to web structure, the problems occurs too)
1.- The upper element of the page is one composition with only ANIMATED TEXTS over a simple MP4 VIDEO BACKGROUND. The used font is -Fredoka One-
This first composition is inserted in the Muse Master page
In the Muse index main page are the other 2 elements:
2.- Above the first composition there is another Edge composition, that contains 4 video backgrounds with a title over each one. The font of each main title is -Fredoka One- too.
3.-In the bottom there is inserted THE SAME composition than in the upper side of the page.
Yuo can see it in http://www.comunicracia.es/
As you can see, everything is OK using Chrome or Mozilla, BUT PLEASE TAKE A LOOK USING INTERNET EXPLORER.
Using IE I can see every combination of problems with the font, BUT never the 3 elements Fine!!! (The tittles font is replaced by Arial frustratingly without any rule)
(My experience FYI) In this composition I have prepared for you, the bottom composition is usually (90%times) OK, the upper composition is usually (95%times) BAD, and the middle composition usually (70%times) BAD.
If I publish only the first composition in the page, it works fine in IE 95% of the times.
Pleeease, its frustrating..
Any suggestion?
What can I do??
Thank you very very much in advance, my friends!
All the best

How to have PDF open in Internet Explorer 7 (Adobe reader version XI)

Hello,
we would like to know how to open PDF in internet browser. Our browser version is IE7, Adobe Reader version is XI.
Thanks,
Jason

XI Pro contains all of the capabilities of Reader and a lot more. If you can't see the PDF, you may have the view in browser unchecked in Acrobat, or more likely your Acrobat is not updated to be compatible with the version of IE you are using (You did not mention). There may also be an issue with the OS you are running that could vary between computers (also not mentioned). First thing to do is to go to Help>Updates and be sure you are running 11.0.09. Then check the preferences (check the Internet tab).

When using Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader xi, I cannot find how to keep the Page thumbnails from hiding. We want them open. Please help!

In Internet Explorer, when opening a PDF using the IE addon Adobe Reader XI, the Page Thumbnail toolbar is shrunk to the left (hidden). Our users access the thumbnails constantly and we need this to remain open by default but I cannot find anywhere that this option is set. I would expect there to be a pin icon to click to keep it open. In the stand alone product Adobe Reader, we found that you can click "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." in Documents prefs but this doesn't work for new documents (only previously opened docs) AND doesn't work in Internet Explorer at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Marc

That would be something you could set at document level in document properties but would require Acrobat to make permanent.

FDF file not opening in IE 8 with Adobe reader 9 or Adobe pro 9

Hi
I have a fdf file that is working fine with IE 7 when I am using adode reader 9 or pro. But the same fdf is not working fine if my browser is IE 8 . The target element for the fdf is a file that is there in our web server. The same FDF is also working fine in IE 8 if the version is reader used is 8 or lower
can any one help me to fix this.
Thanks in Advance
RAVISH G

I will add a "Me too" onto this thread. I have to use a third-party site which sends an FDF document (over Internet Explorer), however Adobe Reader doesn't load inside this browser window, but rather launches itself *outside* of this browser window (in standalone mode, more or less)...
In fact, when Adobe Reader is loading outside the browser window the only thing I have here is the original PDF document where the data should be added on. The PDF file is actually a form but I have it displayed "blank", that is without any user-provided data. On Internet Explorer's point of view, I only have the "PDF File" icon in the center of my window, but nothing else (all white)
Here are the specs:
Toshiba Satellite laptop
Windows Vista Home Premium, all patched
Latest Adobe Reader available when typing this reply (9.3)
I have:
Uninstalled, reinstalled Adobe Reader, but nothing better happens (Adobe Reader just pops out of the browser to display the original PDF file)
Upgraded to Internet Explorer 8 (as I was running IE7 on this PC), also added the URL of the intranet site in question in my "trusted sites" in IESpeaking of Internet Explorer, I also did a "reset to default values" many times over this process
Double-checked the values in the Windows Registry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to see that both FDF and PDFs are gonna be executed on Adobe Reader (I have no other PDF readers or writers installed anyway)
Double-checked that the Activex control that is needed to be run so Adobe Reader can start is actually whitelisted in Microsoft's IE registry, more on this here
Ensured that Edit, Preferences, Internet, "Display in the browser" is in fact checked. I did the extra mile here: I unchecked, pressed OK, left Adobe Reader then came back to enable it again just in case something doesnt get written accordingly to those settings in the UI.
Now i'm out of clues
For what its worth, only internet explorer gives me this problem, Firefox and Chrome just opens Adobe Reader inside the browser with the FDF provided.

Invalid pointer when printing from Internet Explorer 64 bit with Adobe Reader 11.0.7

If I print a PDF file in Internet Explorer 8 or 9 64 bit with Adobe Reader 11.0.7 on a Windows 2008 R2 server with the File --> Print (or CTRL+P) option, the file won't print. It generates the error "Er is een onjuiste parameter" (Dutch version). I can print the PDF file with the Adobe Reader option. The 32 bits version of IE8 or IE9 works fine. Also the Adobe Reader versions before 11.0.7 works fine. One fix in 11.0.7 is "64 bit IE plugin - required to run IE 11 with Enhanced Protected Mode on in Win 7". Is this the reason that IE8 or IE9 64 bits doesn't work anymore with the CTRL+P option?

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmlThen, you can download the full offline Reader installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

When I open a document in Firefox with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to print it (no problem when using Internet Explorer)

I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit), using Firefox 8.0. When I open a document with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to do anything with it (print, save, etc.) other than view it. When I use Internet Explorer I don't have this problem.

Not sure what you mean by truncated troubleshooting report, but here's what I copied from "troubleshooting" under "help". My printer is selected as the default printer in Devices and Printers. Also, remember that a document that won't print in Firefox prints fine in Internet Explorer.

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

Email pdf to iPad - is there a way to open multiple pdfs at one time without having to hold each individually and open with adobe reader?

I have a large number of pdf files to send to an iPad and it is taking forever to hold down each one and then choose to open with adobe reader. Just wondering if there is a way to select all from the email to do the same action?

Not that i know of but an alternate would be to use something like dropbox instead of mail. Their app works very well.

Hi aho,
You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.
What can I do with Reader?
Let me know if you have further questions!
