Older version opens pdf

I have recently installed reader 9.1. When I open a pdf my older version open and not the 9.1. How can I change this?

Remove both. Install the newer version. It's not recommended to have two versions installed.

    Firefox no longer opens PDF files. Explorer works OK. I have checked the Applications window in the Tools/Options and it says I am using PDF-xChange viewer....It just does not do anything.

    The error message suggests that the file (pdf) that you're trying to download cannot be saved in the folder Firefox tries to save it in.
    This can be due to several things - it could be a non-existing folder (could be a problem with the updated application), the hard drive could be too full to store the file (less likely if you can generally surf the net without error messages) or it could contain an error.
    To complicate things a little further, it seems to me that you have (at least) 3 different PDF-handling plugins in Firefox from different programs:
    PDF-XChange Viewer Netscape Gecko Plugin
    Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2"
    Zeon PDF Plugin For Mozilla
    This shouldn't matter too much, thou, as it will most likely simply use either the latest installed or the first one it finds when looking up associations for files of type 'pdf'.
    First, in Tools > Options... > tab General > section File download, select "Save files in" and Browse your way to a (non-writeprotected!) folder on a drive where you're certain there is enough free space - like the Desktop folder to make the files end up on your Windows desktop.
    Second, under Applications as you mention yourself, find all document types related to PDF files, and set these to one of the programs. Check the entire list to be sure there isn't one hiding under one of the other programs' document types (Adobe Acrobat document, PDF X-Change and Zeon).
    Restart Firefox, and try opening a PDF again.
    If it fails once more, try changing the documents again to one of the other programs, like "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".
    If it STILL fails, change it to simply "Save file". Then you can simply browse your way to the download folder with Windows Explorer, and doubleclick the PDF file to see which program actually handles PDF files as default on the machine, and if it works properly.
    If Firefox flatly refuses to save the PDF files in a folder which you're certain both exist and has space for the file, some (probably security related) program is most likely interfering with Firefox, preventing it in storing PDF files on the system.

  • Save as older version of PDF

    One of our users wants me to save a pdf file in 1.6 (Acrobat 7) format.  They also want the form to print duplex, flip on long edge.  It seems that whatever way I save the form in an older version (i.e. configure distiller, reduce file size or optimize the pdf) when I set the print to duplex and save the file the version is updating to 1.7 (Acrobat 8).  Please let me know if there is another way to do this.
    Thanks for the help!!

    P.S. We are running Acrobat 8 Professional on a Windows Xp PC.

    Hi Bernd,
    I tried using the optimizer and reduce file size methods and even tried configuring the distiller. Things look ok at first, but when I open the updated file the version of Acrobat changes to 1.7 (Acrobat 8) when I set the print to Duplex.  Is it possible that the the Duplex print is not an option in the 1.6 (Acrobat 7) version?
    Thanks for the help!!

  • Latest version downloaded and installed but older version opens

    I'm using Firefox on a Mac OS10. I upgraded to 6.1 and installed it but when I log on each day an older version 3.6 opens. So I have to go into downloads and open 6.1 and then close the old version to get 6.1 to open.
    Why is 6.1 not opening on startup?

    By running in safe mode the plug-ins are not running. The issue may be caused by a plug-in.

    At teh following link you can have all versions build up by Mozilla: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/
    You have nightly (birch+aurora+nightly ), release candidates (beta) final versions :)
    Enjoy!

  • Even though I downloaded Firefox 5 the only way that I can open it is from my downloads folder. If I open it from the icon an older version opens. A pop-up opens and asks to connect to update Firefox. I am never connected.

    This has happened every time I open Firefox.

  • How to open pdf from an url into an acrobat control for vb

    I have a vb requirement like this:
    We have pdf files generated on a server and put in path like http://servername:port/pdfReports/report.pdf
    Desktop applications need to show these files.. we have an acrobat reader control on one of the forms and trying to load the pdf.
    We want this to be implemented for clients who have older versions of pdf readers like ver 5, 6, 8, also.. not just 9
    opening a file on the control like below works.
    objPDF.LoadFile "c:\temp\test.pdf"
    but network paths or http paths dont work.. what methods should be used ? and can anybody provide some sample code in vb if available.. so it is easy to understand dependencies.
    Thanks,
    Harish

    There is no support for direct opening of an http/network-based path in the control.  You need to use a standard web browser control instead and give it the URL for a PDF.

  • I have trouble opening PDF documents with Firefox. They will open using IE8 and with the older version of Firefox but not with the new version of Firefox.

    Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

  • Maintain PDF layering when opening in older version of Illustrator?

    As the title explains, I was wondering if it may be possible to avoid data loss upon opening a PDF in an older version of Illustrator. I have a client who is still using CS5, and needs to have editable PDF files that maintain their hierarchy.
    Currently standing, I get the "This file was generated by a newer version of Illustrator" error, which flattens the artwork into a single layer. Is there a workaround for this, or am I out of luck?
    Thank you in advanced for your help.

    Have you tried saving as CS5. There's a drop-down menu for choosing a version. It will still flatten some things that are not available in the older version, but you may have better luck keeping the layers intact that way.

  • When opening a pdf link the process stalls and there is a message that Adobe acrobat reader is running. to the best of my knowledge I do not have the reader. I have an older version of Acrobat Pro. How can I fix this?

    when opening a pdf link on a web poage the process stalls and there is a message that Adobe acrobat reader is running. To the best of my knowledge I do not have the Acrobat reader. To the best of my knowledge I have deleted the reader program. I have an older version of Acrobat Pro. The problem occurred before I did the deletion and continues since then.

  • Acrobat 9 create pdfs that older versions of reader can open

    I use Acrobat to create pdfs for my classes. This session, many of my students can not open the pdfs that I created with Acrobat 9. This is especially true of students with older Operating systems and older versions of reader. Is there a way that I can create pdfs in Acrobat 9 that these older readers can open?

    You should be able to set the backward compatibility in the Adobe PDF printer. There is a setting for the version there.

  • I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9?

    I have been able to open pdfs created in older versions of adobe, but not the newest version. Is anyone having issues opening PDFs sent via email created in version 9? If so, what was your solution? I have PDF reader app as well.

    Can you open the files in Preview?

  • Opening ver 8 PDF files in older versions

    We are processing documents with Professional 7, and are starting to receive documents created in Acrobat 8. Each document that does this throws up the pop-up regarding "created in an older version, may not be supported, etc. etc". Is this pop-up embedded in the structure of the incoming document? We have set Acrobat 7 to suppress any pop-ups, since we are processing in an automated setting on servers with no active users. I've selected "Don't show this message again" more than one time now, which leads me to think that the warning is attached to the document. Can anyone verify that?

    I don't speak for Adobe, but I would recommend that, unless you have
    negotated a special license for this, you stop immediately, since use
    of Acrobat on a server is usually held, including by Adobe reps, to be
    a breach of the EULA. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm sure
    your company won't want to continue in this situation. Check out the
    Developer FAQ for some written support for this statement.
    In general, a different license is potentially needed for anything run
    on a server, and such licenses are sometimes unavailable. Checking is
    vital, and not checking can be an expensive mistake that has cost some
    companies millions of dollars.
    In practice, Acrobat is also wildly technically unsuitable too, so
    changing now may save much grief in the future.
    Adobe sell the PDF Library for server use, or there are third party
    tools. Maybe Appligent's AppendPDF is the sort of tool you need.

  • Updated iBooks on my ipad1 now not able to open bulky PDF which was opening easily on older version. Can I revert to older version ?

    Please help

    unless you have an older version of iBooks backed up on your computer there is no way to downgrade to a previous version. check your Trash Can and see if an older version is in there.
    also if your going to be doing a lot of work with PDFs I highly recommed GoodReader, it is much more robust when dealing with PDFs than iBooks.
