mac 10.7.3, intel dual proc, ff was running great but not opening pdf files from web pages (just opened new page and blank), found ff forum solutions to delete a file, found such file and deleted it, now ff shows error "ff running, can't run 2 ff at same time", rebooted several times, redownloaded ff several times, can't find any ff or mozilla files of any kind in activity monitor or HD, or any library, or in personal library etc,
i think i have ff 12 now loaded, HELP, love ff, how to get it run again thanks

Can you undelete the file you deleted?? Any idea what it was?
Once you have your Firefox running again, try this recommendation from another thread:
''If using a Mac, go to the Firefox Plugins and disable the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3. This is a recent plugin update, and as soon as it was installed I noticed that PDFs wouldn't download.''

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

Problem with opening PDF files in Google Chrome browser

We have a web page displaying links to dynamically generated PDF files located on the internal repository. This files are not just text PDF files but PDF forms created using XFA technology. This means that they must be opened and filled only in Adobe Reader and not in Foxit Reader or browser's built-in PDF viewer.
Now, the problem is that a Google Chrome browser opens any PDF file using its own PDF viewer. And I want to force this browser to open PDF files in Adobe Reader.
How can I achieve this without disabling 'Chrome PDF Viewer' plugin since I can't do this for all users of our web site?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. We use LiveCycle ES3.

Each user would have to set each browser individually.
Note: I don't think it's possible to set the default PDF viewer with code for every user who visits the site.
See the following link to enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer in different browsers:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
Note: Not all PDF viewer browser plug-ins support PDF submissions, and most 3rd party viewers may not support forms created with LiveCycle or forms with Extended Reader Rights enabled.

Error in opening .pdf files from the search results

Hi All,
When we do the search it displays the results, upon clikc the link of .pdf files it gives error "<b>File is damaged and cannot be repaired</b>". However, subsequent click on the same link it opens the .pdf file correctly.
We are in EP50 SP50 - J2EE 6.20
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best Regards,
Ravi

Hello Ravi,
It seems that there might be an issue with the compression settings. Please have a look at the note 554096 as a starting point.
Moreover a look for new patches/hotfixes on the Service marketplace in
Support Packages and Patches -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver components ( < SAP NW 04 ) -> SAP ENTERPRISE PORTAL -> SAP ENTERPRISE PORTAL 5.0 -> Portal Server
might point to a fix.
Kind regards,
Roland

I cannot open PDF files since installing Firefox 4. Have tried everything. Help.

I installed Firefox 4, and now I cannot open PDF files. I have tried everything, including disabling PDF download, re-installing Adobe Reader, etc etc. Nothing seems to work.

I was under the impression Foxit was a pdf viewer rather than an addon for Firefox, but maybe there is more than one application with a similar name.
I did not notice mention of foxit in the help, but add-ons are not always mentioned.

Unable to open pdf files in Safari 5.1

Last night I installed Safari 5.1 on my MBP running 10.6.8 and am now unable to view pdf files from Google searches. Clicking on a pdf in Google the window does dark, there is a QuickTime icon and the page seems to download. When it finishes, the QT icon is replaced by the front page of the document but I am unable to scroll down to see more. In some instances the QT icon disappears and nothing loads.
Any ideas?

I visited a "genius" in the Apple Store, Leicester, this morning. After some playing around he seems to have sorted it. Apparently - now they tell me! - you don't need Adobe Reader on Macs as the Mac has its own pdf reader built-in. Safari 5.1 is now clashing with Reader and the best approach is to remove Reader - and the relevent preference files. I took one of my MBPs into the store and am just checking it out to see if everything is now ok. I'm now planning to make the changes on my other machine and will report back. (The genius said that my best approach was to bring in the second MBP but I'm not very convenient to Leicester so I'm going to give it whirl myself.)
Wish me luck.
But why did we load Reader in the first place? Are we that unusual in the Mac community? Surely, others must have done the same and are having the same problem with Safari 5.1???

Cannot open pdf files

I cannot open pdf files from the internet. I just get a small white cross in a black background in the top left hand corner of the screen. This is not just from one website but happens with all. Advice please. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium and Internet Explorer as the browser and have the latest Adobe.

Richvan2, welcome to the forum.
The first thing you should do is run your antivirus program. It could be a virus.
Then, you should download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It may be a glitch in the current version on your computer.

Cannot open pdf files on my web site

i cannot open pdf files i uploaded to my web site. error message indicated i need to upgrade adobe reader. did that, still doesn't work.

What is the exact wording of the error? Apparently you got the PDFs from someplace else since you are using Reader. The major issue when uploading PDFs to a web site is to be sure you used a binary upload. PDF files are binary files and not ASCII files. I suspect that is the issue.

I can't open pdf files

please help me

I, too, am having trouble opening large / oversized pdf files after a recent update to the new interfaced Acrobat Reader. This is a URGENT request to fix. I create posters and banners all the time and when I try to open pdf files that I have created, all I get is a blank white page in my file. The file size is large, but only a blank white page is showing when I open it.
I am on a Windows 8.1 laptop. Please help!!

Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files

My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.

It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103).

Client can't open PDF files from websever

Hi all,
I am currently having problems with a client who is using Adobe Reader 6.0 with Internet Explorer 6. He says that he can open pdf files from anywhere on the web, however he cannot generate any from my server. He gets an error: "File cannot be opened". I have tried replicating the problem on a local machine with both versions of the aforementioned programs and I am able to generate the files. I have tried disabling and enabling "Open in browser". I have tried saving to my harddrive and opening straight from the pop-up. I am not sure what else to try. Any assistance is appreciated.

Edit: The error message he reported to me was incorrect. He is actually getting "file cannot be opened". I have edited my original post with this update. Any advice out there?

Downloaded certain files from my old computer on a memory stick.Have inputted stick into my new mac and can open PDF files but not xlr,aww or eps files.Is there a solution to this please?

Transferred certain files to my new Mac from my old computer via memory stick.Can open PDF files but not xlr,aww or wps ones.The important ones are in xlr format.Is there a solution please?

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.
