Internet explorer tries to open pdf in my old v6.0 acrobat not newly updated reader v9.0

When I try to open a pdf online Acrobat v6 tries to open it so I get an error message saying that v8 or v9 reader is required. I have v9 reader and it happily opens pdf files sent as attachments etc, as the default, but ie is defaulting to the old version of Adobe. How do I re-educate it to default to Reader v9?

Thanks - I was going to resort to that, but I still need Acrobat as I use it
create pdf's a lot. I don't want to pay for an upgrade to Acrobat as v6 does
all that I need.
My PC happily defaults to reader v9 to open pdf's on my computer, it is only
ie that insists on trying to use Acrobat v6
Any ideas? If I do as you suggest, but then reinstall Acrobat I assume I
will still have that problem?

  • Adobe & Internet Explorer crashing when opening pdf within an Internet Explorer window

    Hello,
    Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
    Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
    Would the acrotray.exe be causing this?

  • 'Failed to create object' when trying to open PDF attachment in Dynamics GP 10 OLE notes

    Microsoft Dynamics GP 10 users who updated to Adobe Reader X are getting errors when trying to open or create an OLE attachment on a note.
    They get 'Failed to create object' when trying to open an existing and getting 'Failed to connect.
    And " Link may be broken" when trying to create a new one.
    PDF attachments work pretty fine with previous version of Acrobat reader 7,8,9 up tp 9.4
    Now that we install Acrobat X, something has changed.
    It only does this for PDF attachments, Other file types work fine.
    I was able to remove Adobe Reader X and install a prior version to work around the issue.
    Has Adobe developed any Fix for the integration of X and OLE objects.
    regards,

    Hi Gestis,
    What version of Adobe Reader are you using?
    If its less that 10.1.2, please update it to 10.1.2 and then try to open PDF attachment inDynamcs GP OLE notes.

  • Trying to open PDF getting error message " there is a problem with Acrabat /Reader. Please exit Adob

    I have windows XP, when I am trying open PDF getting a error message " there is a problem with Acrabot /Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrabat/Reader Please try again'  It was working earlier today  HELP

    If all else fails, you can try one of 2 things (I will assume you are talking about Reader - though this is not the Reader forum). Use ctrl-alt-del to go to the task list. Kill AcroRd32.exe. Then try again. If that does not work, a reboot will probably solve the problem.

  • Internet Explorer won't open since installing Creative softw

    I was asked to look at a friend's PC because she is having trouble since installing the software that came with her Creative Zen MP3 player.
    Whenever we tried to open Internet Explorer, Microsoft Frontpage opened with a message about installing softwatre (Frontpage extensions?) though I don't think she has Frontpage on her PC.
    I managed to get it back to normal by the use of a System Restore but then the fault reappeared after reloading the Creative software and we had then lost that System Restore point (should have saved a new one!).
    I did see something with a GOOGLE search which seemed to indicate that others had this problem but could not get the full details as the message had disappeared.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to get Internet Explorer back.

    Internet Explorer is here.
       C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
    What happens when you try to execute iexplore.exe from there?
    If it doesn't appear to open, start Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc). On the Processes tab, sort them by name and see if iexplore.exe is listed.
    If you've done Windows updates, you probably have v11.

  • How do I stop Adobe trying to open pdf files?

    I have removed Adobe from my Mac, but it is still trying to open pdf files, both in Safari and in Mail. I've removed all of the files using CleanMyMac, so there is nothing left of it.
    How can I change the default back to Evernote, or just view pdf in Safari?

    Unfortunately, I can't do that as the file I want is coming up with this message: "Please wait...if this message is not replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document.
    You can upgrade or get the latest version of Adobe Reader...etc etc"
    I'm also getting this on my Windows XP Computer even when I have Reader installed.
    I have already deleted all internet plug ins relating to Adobe in my Library.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

  • How to set up Internet Explorer 9 to show pdf in Adobe Reader instead of web browser

    Hi,
    I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit), Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader IX (v.11.0.00).
    I would like to set up Internet Explorer 9 to show pdf-files in Adobe Reader program windows instead of viewing pdf-files within the web browser. Adobe Reader IX doesn't have the setting "Display pdf-files in browser" any longer, earlier versions of Adobe reader did have that setting.

    I am trying to open pdf in Pro and not Reader.  Please advise how I can fix this.

    Eric-
    FYI, this is a forum for storage and sharing...photoshop.com and revel. If you have acrobat issues you might want to make a note of the other forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com shows a list of all of them, and specifically http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat  this one for Acrobat
    But, since I have had this same issue myself...
    On Windows, locate your pdf document. Right click it and select "open with". Select Adobe Acrobat. That should do it. On MAC, I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is a similar setting.
    Good luck.

  • Trying to open pdf and Adobe Reader Stops Working...Please Help

    Trying to open PDF and it keeps popping up that Adobe Reader Stopped Working.  And doesn't seem to find a solution to fix.  Has been going on for a couple days.  Can't access pdf files needed for my business.

    With Reader XI I assume you mean 11.0.0; try updating to 11.0.06.
    Also, can you open Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • How do I stop word trying to open pdf docs?

    Word keeps trying top open PDFs. How do I stop it?

    Whoo hoo! That's just what we needed.
    Well, we seem to have confirmed that
    (1) Your DOCX files are opening in Adobe Reader, and
    (2) Your PDF files are opening in Microsoft Word.
    Now, we had a go at fixing this but it seems pretty tangled up. It may be better to just forget double clicking and use File > Open in Word for DOCX files, and File > Open in Adobe Reader for PDF files. If you're having trouble even doing that, let's focus on getting that bit working for you - let us know the problem. 
    (NB Because things are messed up you CANNOT rely on the icon to decide on the type of file. Use Properties to look at the file name or type).
