Interruption of pdf link display

My Outlook works fine. My Chrome works fine, and is my default browser. My Acrobat X works fine. Outlook pdf attachments open immediately in Acrobat. Emailed HTML links open immediately in Chrome.
HOWEVER, whenever I receive a pdf link in an email, a new Chrome pane opens, and this error message appears at the bottom of the screen:
This type of file can harm your computer. Do you want to keep XYZ.PDF anyway? With Keep and Discard buttons
I click Keep, and it displays. How do I get rid of this annoying error message? I receive scores of pdf links every day.

When I click on a .pdf link, I want to download it and display it in Foxit. How can I do that?

I used to be able to click on a .pdf link and the .pdf file would open in Foxit Reader and be saved to my download folder.
Now, I think since refreshing Firefox, clicking a .pdf link opens the .pdf in the Firefox browser.
How can I get .pdf links to open the .pdf in Foxit Reader, and not open in the Firefox browser??

Hello ririri, you have to set it correct in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/applications-panel-set-how-firefox-handles-files application panel]. See how to do that easily in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file#w_changing-download-actions Changing download actions] article.

Exported pdfs - Linked file not dispalying correctly on some machines

Hi,
I'm creating several PDFs in InDesign CS5.5. I'm creating links to different files in InDesign using buttons. The pdf links work correctly on all machines and open the file theyre supposed to. I run into a problem on some machines though. The first page of the newly opened pdf opens completely gray... nothing displayed. If you hit page down and then page up, page two displays fine, and page one then appears fine from that point on. On some machines it's a little slow to display, and goes from gray to displaying the page in about one second.
Does anyone know why this would be happening, and how to fix it?
They are created on a mac, and the problem is present on some macs, but not others, and seems fine on PC. It's also worth pointing out that it isn't the speed/power of the machine, because the older less powerful machines have no problems with it.

How are these files being viewed?

FF 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links, after clicking on "open pdf" error message says file not supported or damaged. IE opens file all right. Please advice.

Firefox 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links after clicking on "open pdf". I frequently need to do literature searches and I need to view pdf files in the browser. After clicking on the pdf - link of a file the main options are to open or download the pdf. Every time I try to open a pdf-file a blank page and an error message appears saying the file would not be supported or is damaged. IE, however, opens the file all right. I tried various changes in the security and cookie settings without success. Please advice.

Hi SGckc,
This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
Thank you for contacting us!

How to maintain PDF links when viewed in Apple Mail

Hi All
I've created a single page promo flyer in InDesign which has an email and a web link at the foot of the page. The flyer is to be distributed to clients as a PDF attachment via Apple Mail. The PDF has been created from the InDesign doc and the links display and behave as they are intended to. When I attach the PDF to a mail it displays just fine. I want recipients to be able to click on and follow the links directly from the Mail view in a single action without having to download the PDF and then click on the links. However when you try to click the links the whole PDF highlights blue and no link is activated. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this?
I'm using Apple Mail v7.3 on an iMac running OSX v10.9.5.
Thanks in anticipation!

Pdf links will not open in new browser window

I have created a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro that is password protected. You must enter the password to open it. In this document there are perhaps 15 links to other pdf documents. I set up each of the links to open in a new window. The links work as expected in Acrobat, each opening in a new window, however, when I posted the documents to the web, the links open in the same window as the original document. This would not be a big issue if the original document were not password protected, but each time the user clicks on a link, it takes him out of the original document. To get back to the original document requires re-entering the password. This is a major irritation with so many links.
I know that you can set Acrobat to display the documents in its own window rather than in the browser, but my users don't know that. Control clicking on a pdf link does not open it in a new window as it would with an HTML link. Is there a simple fix to this problem that does not involve user intervention?

Well, I came up with a solution, thanks to Ted Padova who offers a simple JavaScript solution on his blog at http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windows.
The solution is clearly laid out even for beginners, if you know how to create a link or button.
It seems to me that a prime objective of Adobe in developing Acrobat would be to have it behave the same way in free-standing mode and as a plug-in. In this case it does not, and obviously, it has not for the last forty-eleven years that Acrobat has been on the market. Maybe some day they will get around to a fix for this obvious problem. In the meantime, read Ted's blog and be happy we have guys like him who can solve these problems.

Can not open pdf links

For some reason I can no longer open pdf links. When I click on a link to a pdf file, a new tab opens but the file does not dowload or display. This happens in both Safari and Firefox.
Can someone tell me what might be wrong? I have AcrobatPro installed.
Thanks

PDF Links Won't Open in Safari 3.1.2

Whenever I click on a PDF link in Safari, I just get a blank gray page with a spinner. PDFs use to open with no problem. I did update to Adobe CS3 last week - don't know if that's part of the problem. I have plenty of memory and disk space. Any ideas?

Do you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro installed? If so, that is the problem.
You need to quit Safari, start the applicable program(s) you have, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box where it says "Display PDF in browser using:". Then go to Users/username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove the Adobe PDF plugin. Restart Safari and try view a PDF in the browser.

Pdf links will not open in ie8 windows 7

I have installed, uninstalled Adobe Reader 10 and Internet Explorer. I have tried all the solutions listed in some other posts. PDF links will not open the files on some web sites, Fidelity.com in particular. I have reset IE8 Advanced Options and Advanced Options Reset, Created another Windows Administrative user, performed clean boot in Windows and run IE8 (no addons) from the accessory menu and unchecked the Display PDF in Browser box in preferences. None of these options have resulted in correcting the problem. Adobe Reader 10 works fine on the Fidelity web site in Firefox.

PDF Link Not Working - Can't Isolate the Issue

I have a unique issue I can't figure out. The trouble
shooting I have done so far is this: (1) I've recreated my Topic
several times using old topics that work, ones in version control,
ones not in version control, blank ones, and even from scratch as a
New Project. (2) I've recreated my Word Doc and PDF. (3) I've
uninstalled Robo Help 5 and reinstalled it. (4) I've uninstalled
then reinstalled Adobe. (5) I've uninstalled then reinstalled MS
Office. After reinstalling all of the above, I created the Topic
yet another time.
I took an existing Project which was initially created in v4
with a PDF Link created in Word then converted to a PDF in Word.
This topic was not in version control and I copied it onto my Local
Drive. From my Local Drive, I modified the Topic to include all of
my new information. I left the original PDF Link, however, to test
it. Here are the results:
A) The original PDF Link still operates just fine. It
launches the PDF with no problem.
B) The new PDF Links I am trying to create refuse to work no
matter what I do. WHY? When I click on the PDF Link in my compiled
CHM, I get an Internet Explorer Window with an error that the "Page
cannot be displayed". I have tried this on a network drive and on a
local drive.
Are there any ideas or suggestions? Linking a PDF does not
require rocket science. I have done dozens of them over the past
couple years and never had this issue. All of my other hyperlinks
are working just fine (ie to external CHMs) - just not to PDF or
DOC files.
1 thing I did notice which is why I uninstalled then
reinstalled everything: I found the new option inside Word of
ROBOPDF, and that is what I initially used. When I noticed a
coworker did things differently, I decided to delete that,
reinstall it all, then created the PDF the old way through the PDF
Maker toolbar in Word. I got the same results.
Please, please email me if possible:

FrameMaker 8.0p277 Generated PDF-to-PDF Links Don't Work On Solaris

Currently I create a PDF of a book index pointing to several guides. The company logo in each guide's PDF provides a link back to the index.
All the links worked on Solaris & Windows OSs. Now they do not work on Solaris. I get an error saying, "There was an error opening this document. The file cannot be found."
All files are located in the same directory and they are all there.
The only thing that I have changed is the source was in FrameMaker 7 and it is now in FrameMaker 8. I use Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 9.4.6 and I have the latest updates for both Acrobat and FrameMaker.
I did some more digging and found a difference in the generated postscript file.
FM8
[/Rect[1409 2622 4926 2441]/Border[0 0 0] /Action << /Type /Action /S/GoToR /D /F /F << /Type/Filespec/UF <FEFF0063006D00690063002E007000640066> /F(cmic.pdf) >> >> /Subtype /Link /ANN FmPD2
FM7
[/Rect[1830 2661 4578 2430]/Border[0 0 0]/Dest /F/Action/GoToR/File(cmic.pdf)/Subtype /Link /ANN FmPD2
I am trying to get off of FM7 and it is counter productive to keep generating our final PDFs from FM7 just to get them to work.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to resolve it?

Cross-file links in PDFs authored in FrameMaker 8 use Unicode-encoded file paths and file names, which are only supported in Windows Acrobat/Reader 8.x (MacOS Acrobat/Reader 7.x or later).
As a result, cross-file links are not functional when the PDF is displayed in earlier Acrobat/Reader versions, even though the target PDFs files are present in the target location.
While it is possible (through post-processing) to change the links so that they are backward-compatible, I suggest checking whether one of the Reader versions available for Solaris supports Unicode filenames and indicating that such a version is required to view the PDFs.

Internal pdf links not working in chrome and firefox

I have some PDF files that I am adding links to additional PDF files that are located in the same folder on our webserver using Acrobat Pro XI. The links work fine in IE and the other PDF files open up and display well in the IE browser, but the links don't even show up in Chrome and will not open in Firefox. Further, the links in Safari, deliver an error message pop up saying the file could not be opened. If you click OK, the file does open. Also, in Acrobat > Tools > Add or Edit Link, I can change the properties to "Open File" and pick the "Open in New Window" option, but when I save the changes and come back, the option has automatically changed back to "Execute a Menu Item" and of course, the file I'm linking to does not open in a new Window. These files were originally created in Word by another person and the person who converted them to PDF added fillable form fields throughout the document prior to converting to PDF. The links I am adding are being added using Acrobat Pro XI in the PDF file. Should we insert the above-mentioned links in the Word docs prior to converting to PDF to ensure the links work in all browsers, or are these browser issues common to all internal PDF links?
Please help!
Thanks,

Make sure that you are using the Adobe PDF NPAPI viewer for Chrome and Firefox. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox now have their own default PDF viewers.

Opening PDF links in IE8 - show URL

Hi there
In IE8 it seems pdf links automatically open up in Adobe Pro or Reader rather than in the browser. Previously it opened up in the browser and showed the URL. I've tried changing the setting in Adobe Pro and Reader - Preferences - Internet - Display PDF in browser, and still no change?
OR do you know of a way to find the URL when it opens up in Adobe Pro or Reader? I need to use the URL which is why I need to open the pdf in a browser.
I am not an advanced user - any help appreciated!
thanks!

Adobe PDF Link Helper Problem

Hello,
I am looking for some help because I am out of options. When I open up a pdf through IE, and use the add-on toolbar, none of the buttons can be used. They are all "frozen" except for the zoom function. This is the case for multiple or any documents. I have tried uninstalling IE9 and reverting back to IE8 but no luck. None of the IE are 64 bit, they are all 32 bit. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Here is a bit of background:
OS: Windows 7 (some PC's are 32 bit and others are 64 bit)
Adobe X 10.1.3
IE9 and IE8 both 32 bit.
Add ons are enabled for Adobe.
Thank you.

I do not see either PDF Link Helper or Adobe Acrobat SharePoint Open Documents Component in 64 bit IE9. I see them both in the 32 bit version. Are they both for displaying in a browser? The root issue I am trying to solve is getting the SharePoint 2010 Acrobat X integration to work, The original symptom was that a user would check out a pdf file from a SharePoint library, edit it (using the comment feature in Reader) and then Save or Check In. Either action would result in a Cannot Access the Network error. Looking at the HTML traffic in Fiddler showed the error text had nothing to do with the problem, which seemed to be about attribute values. Anyway, I put this on the back burner for a couple months and returned to it recently. It now works on my machine in a 32 bit browser. (ACCEPTABLE RESTRICTION). My coworker still gets the original error. I poked around and found the SharePoint Open Documents add-on on my machine and not hers and suspect it has something to do with the difference in behavior. So I am trying to find out what it is supposed to do and if it really is relevant, how to cause it to be downloaded on other people’s machines. I have been through the server configuration steps listed in Chapter 13 of the Acrobat Admin Guide.

External PDF links in Internet Explorer - PDF/A issue?

Hi,
I am having an issue with certain links within PDFs not working when the PDF is being viewed with IE. I have created external PDF links using the Go to a Page View linking feature within Acrobat and then opening an external PDF file and setting the link. The extrernal links work fine when viewing the PDFs within Acrobat, however when I view the PDFs within IE the external links do not work. I am running Acrobat 9.3 and IE 8.
I know there is an issue with PDF/A disabling external PDF links, is it possible that IE always displays PDFs in PDF/A mode, even though I have set PDF/A View Mode to never within Acrobat? Also, I do not remember this being an issue in earlier releases of Acrobat 9, however I am supporting a large group of people that have already updated to Acrobat 9.3 and would hate to have to roll them back. Any ideas as to a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
