Is Firefox compatible with Adobe Reader 9 for accessing pdf downloading websites?

I was offered a free pdf by Health Sciences Institute at the following:http//www.agoralifestyles.co/HSI_HeartRprt_UK.pdf
which had been automated electronically.
The URL appeared to have been accessed but the page was blank.
A similar occurrence took place with GINALE SKINCARE at:
http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=ElOWh&m=LgVtcjf6EdAqmQ&b=238bCF3WfGSLQu61OclZ0g
I have never had this problem with Mozilla Firefox until recently.

You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\nppdf32.dll

Repeated Error Message with Adobe Reader after opening up PDF files

After experiencing this problem, not being that computer savvy I figured I'd remove the existing Adobe Reader from my computer and download a new version in the hopes of eliminating the problem. When I do so, I get message "The patch package could not be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Patch Package."

Ankit,
Here are my responses as best as I can address them:
1. Adobe 10.0.1
2. I believe it is Windows XP
3. I was unable to remove the existing Adobe version because of the "patch
package could not be opened......" I believe i may have inadvertently
downloaded this patch via www.secunia.ocom "Personal Software Inspector"
program (Untitled (1)).. Using the older version alone when opening up PDF
documents resulting in their closing and my getting an error message
("Untitled and Untitled (2))..
4. I was able to successfully download Adobe 10.1.0. However, it won't allow
me to download required updates.
As a result of this mess, I have the 2 versions of Adobe on my computer,
which is allowing me to open up PDF files on my computere.
Again, I'm not terribly computer savvy. I'm simply trying to find a way to
remove the old version and work with the new version.
Hope this helps, as I'm stumped. Thanx for your assistance.

Have new 8.1 with adobe reader installed would like Pdf reader from firefox ..how do I get it

I have a new 8.1 computer and adobe reader was installed on it ... Would prefer to use only Firefox PDF
if can do so, for e-bay and photo taking use
What steps do I take to delete Adobe Reader (if don't need it) and then to install PDF from
firefox?
Would really appreciate any help

Firefox has a built-in PDF viewer. However, I recommend keeping Adobe Reader on your system because there are some advanced PDFs that the built-in viewer does not display very well.
Or... If you meant that you want to use Foxit, that's actually not a Mozilla product. You can get more information here: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/

Is the Adobe Digital Edition (e-reader from the library) compatible with Adobe Reader X

I have Adobe Reader X on my computer, and recently downloaded the Adobe Digital Edition so that I can read books from the library. However, when I attempt to download a book, the Adobe Reader X opens, and I get the message....
XXXX book could not be opened because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't properly decoded). Any idea what is going on and how I can correct this issue?
Any responses are appreciated...

Hi, Char.
Since your question doesn't relate to our CreatePDF service, I'm moving your question to the Adobe Reader forum.

If you save your form as Static PDF, it works.
But most of the time we need the Dynamic XML form. So, I am also stuggling with this issue.

How to fix reading mode screen in Adobe Reader XI for all PDF files

In Adobe Reader 9.5.1 it was enough to mark this option just once.

My current Ver is 11.0.07 and the"view all recent files" selection is found by clicking on file and in the drop down menu it is the selection just above the list of recent files

FYI: Server-side fix for IE / Adobe Reader 10.1.2 PDF embed problem

Hey all,
I posted this message as a reply to a question, but want to make sure this gets out there for others who may benefit:
After about four hours of debugging this issue, I have found that, at least for me, the regression issue seems to be with Adobe Reader handling a gzipped PDF embedded in the IE browser, specifically. I can't speak to why this would occur, but hopefully this will help others out. On our site, we had gzipping only disabled (as most probably do) for images (gif, jpg, jpeg, png), meaning PDFs were being gzipped. This, prior to 10.1.2, worked just fine. I changed our web server configs so that PDFs are no longer gzipped and I can now view the PDFs in IE with Reader 10.1.2 the same as before.
If you're using Apache, look for a line that looks something like this in your httpd.conf:
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
And change to:
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|pdf)$ no-gzip dont-vary
That all being said, this still sounds like a bug in Reader 10.1.2, and gzipped PDFs via IE should be supported. I'm sending a separate report to Adobe so hopefully that specific information will help them debug / fix. Until a patch has been released, however, this will make sure our customers can view PDFs. Hope this helps someone else out!

According to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html from 2012-01-09
"Unsupported configurations for Reader running in Protected Mode include:
Hosting on a Citrix or Windows Terminal Server. Fixed 10.1 (including Acrobat's Protected View)."
Try disabling Protected Mode:
From Adobe's help file:
Protected mode (Windows)
By default, Adobe Reader X runs in protected mode to provide an added layer of security. In protected mode, malicious PDF documents can’t launch arbitrary executable files or write to system directories or the Windows Registry.
To check the status of protected mode, choose File > Properties > Advanced > Protected Mode.
Protected mode is enabled by default. To turn off protected mode:
1 Choose Edit > Preferences.
2 In the Categories list on the left, select General.
3 Deselect Enable Protected Mode at startup.

Firefox not opening PDF with Adobe Reader for Mac

I can't open PDF in Firefox with Adobe Reader for Mac, what should i do?

I have come across this problem, but i have solved my problem. The default PDF viewer with Firefox browser on Mac is Preview, so you can't use adobe reader to open PDF files, if you want to use Adobe Reader to open pdf with Firefox on mac, you need set adobe reader as your mac's default pdf viewer. Do as follows:
1. Select any PDF file and choose File > Get Info.
2. Choose Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer from the Browser in Download Action window.
3. Click OK to set Adobe Reader as your default PDF files viewer.

Why is Firefox nownot compatabile with Adobe Reader and Adobe flash 10.o?

The issue with Adobe Reader is when I fine the site I want using Google and the URL is a PDF file click on the site the document will not open.
When trying to down load and install Adobe Flash player I got a message the it was not compatible with Mozilla Firefox
currently I am running Firefox 6.0.2

Pat-Thank you for the tip on Firefox not using Adobe Reader plugin. I would like to clarify a couple of things. I do not use Firefox, ever. I had installed it just to see if I could pull up the PDF files, assuming it used Adobe. I went to the link you mentioned (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136) on Post 6 at 12:10 a.m. I tried the steps more out of curiousity to see if Adobe would work on Firefox, but could not figure out how to do it.
At this point though, my concern is I still cannot get Adobe Reader to work on either Vista IE 9 or Windows 7 IE 11. I still get this message on websites:
To view your statement, you must have Adobe® Reader® installed on your computer.
Download Adobe Reader for free by clicking here.
I really appreciate your time and effort for all on this Forum. I believe I may not be making myself clear though. The Flash Player problem is resolved on IE 9 and 11. But I have tried System Restore, Downloading from the Adobe and other sites when they give me the download adobe reader for free message, and my program manager clearly states the latest version of Adobe Reader is installed. I cannot figure out where to go from here to get it to work, and as I mentioned before, up until a few days ago, Adobe Reader was working great on all my computers.
One other item. I notice I am getting literally hundreds of emails about Adobe problems in my inbox from others on the Forum. How do I stop them from going to my inbox? Did I set something on the Forum which is making it appear I may be an expert on Adobe issues? How do I correct this without creating a new email account?

How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.

There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

"Insufficient data for an image" when opening a PDF, even with Adobe Reader 11.0.06

I have extracted some pages from a large, scanned, PDF into a separate document, using a product called Nuance PDF Converter 7, and when we try to open that with Adobe Reader 11.0.06, we receive the error "Insufficient data for an image". I have read that this error was supposed to be fixed with the latest version of Adobe Reader 11, but I have installed that, and it doesn't help.

I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

This is just a shot in the dark....
Do you have all your devices hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE? For example -- your camera or digitizer? When FMLE launches it will try to launch with the last known settings... including input devices. If it can't find these devices (they're not hooked up and on) it can crash, although in most situations it will simply show a default screen with default settings.
If you do have your equipment hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE, try unplugging them and then launching FMLE so that it opens up in default configuration mode (no input devices selected; all default settings). Then uncheck the "preview" boxes for both your input and output preview windows. Close FMLE and then plug in your equipment (and turn it on) and relaunch FMLE. I offer this suggestion as FMLE can sometimes act funny when the preview windows are open with certain types of input devices. Don't worry -- you don't have to keep the preview windows off forever. If you can get FMLE to successfully launch with the preview windows off, then you can set your settings however you like and save the profile. Then quit and relaunch FMLE and then turn the preview windows back on and see if it works. If it does, great. Just be aware that making any settings changes while the preview windows are open could result in FMLE crashing. Again -- this only happens with some capture devices, such as certain Dazzle capture boxes.
If none of this works, you could always try to upgrade to FMLE 3.2 and see if that solves your problem.

How do I open .dll files automatically with Adobe Reader through Firefox?

Hi,
When I print eBay labels through Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to open automatically in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change options to show "all files", and then locate the .dll file and open it.
When I try to change the default application in Firefox preferences, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".
Is there a way to have Firefox automatically open .dll files with Adobe Reader?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
Steve

That worked, thank you!
I quit out of Firefox, renamed the file like you said, restarted my computer, and restarted Firefox.
When I went to download a label, Firefox asked me which application to use, and I picked Adobe Reader. I also checked the box to make that the default. This automatically opened the file in AR, and then when I did it the next time it worked perfectly.
Again, thank you so much for your help with this - although it's just a bit of time here and there saved it really adds up!
Take care!
-Steve
