Open 2nd PDF from UNC-path fails

Hallo,
I use Adobe Reader 11.0.08 on Windows7 SP1 (Enterprise) and I try to open PDF-files from UNC-path. The first attempt is successful. If Adobe Reader is still opened, the attempt to open a 2nd PDF-file from (same or other) UNC-path in Windows Explorer does not work without any error message. The file does not open.
The following attempts were successful or not:
(drive P:\ = \\domain\dfs$)
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
In Adobe Reader File - Open - \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf opens the file too.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
In Adobe Reader File - Open - \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf opens the file too.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
If Adobe Reader is still opened, but no file is opened:
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
As you can see: If Adobe Reader is still opened, I can't open a PDF-file from UNC-path from Explorer. But that's what we need. Our Frontend-application opens an Explorer window and the user has to choose the PDF-files to open via double-click. It would be a very roundabout way to copy the Location from Explorer to open the file in Adobe Reader. We'd like to open the first and all other files for the same session from Explorer via double-click.
Sure, if I disable protected mode every attempt works fine but unfortunatelly it is no permitted option to disable protected mode (security policy) - it has to be enabled.
Each change in "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" was not successful. For information its current config that works as mentioned above:
; Files Section
FILES_ALLOW_ANY = \??\UNC\domain\dfs$\*
(no entries in other sections)
How can I open every PDF-file for a session from UNC-path via double-click from Explorer if Adobe Reader is still opened ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Lisa,
Can you please update your Reader to latest version "Adobe Reader 11.0.9" and verify that the issue still occurs.
Thanks,

  • Opening a pdf from a blob

    Hi Guys,
    I know this is a borderline ApEx problem but I have a page whose sole job is to open a pdf from a blob stored in the database.
    This code works for most client machines:
    DECLARE
    l_blob blob;
    BEGIN
    SELECT letter INTO l_blob
    FROM letters
    WHERE lett_id = :P44_LETT_ID;
    -- owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
    -- tried pdf and octet they work the same?????
    owa_util.mime_header('application/octet',false);
    htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
    owa_util.http_header_close;      
    wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);
    END;
    On some machines I get 'Windows cannot open this file ...File: f[7] ...To open this file..........
    On most machines this works fine.
    I haven't got it to fail with Firefox yet, just IE but only a few machines running IE. Client getting annoyed and I starting to stress.
    Many thanks
    Gary

    Have you already tried adding
    htp.p('Content-Disposition:  attachment; filename...as described here?
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32469/up_dn_files.htm#CIHDDJGF
    Maybe it solves the problem, in case IE is a little bit picky. But I really don't know.

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

  • Unable to launch Litetouch.vbs (LiteTouch.wsf) from UNC path - A connection to the Deploayment Share Could not be made

    I am having a difficult time figuring out this issue. Here is the back story. The particular deployment share is not used in the traditional sense of deploying OS images. Instead, it is only used in deploying applications. I actually have three shares that
    do this catered to three different clientele groups; IT, teachers and students.
    I have these shares set up so that the Litetouch.vbs is used as a login script and tied to specific AD accounts. When launched, it goes through the normal MDT gathering process and eventually shows a list of applications to select to install.
    And this has and still is working perfectly for several years with both wired and wireless computers, until recently.
    My issue, I'm afraid, is with the new Intel Dual Band 7260 wireless cards/drivers (both N7260 and AC7260. The reason I suspect this is because any other desktop or laptop will launch the VBScript just fine and bring up the list of software like it has always
    done. However, if I UNC to the share and try to manually run LiteTouch.vbs, I get the "A connection to the deployment share cannot be made. Connection OK. Possible cause: Invalid credentials." That's right. I can UNC to the shares all day long, but
    when launching the LiteTouch.vbs or LiteTouch.wsf scripts, I always get the above error. So the wireless is working, in a way. Just not the way I need it to. I've tried different versions of drivers all with the same error. I've launched other VBScripts that
    I've wrote from UNC paths and they run fine.
    I am using a Domain Admin account to connect back to the deployment share through MDT. My account is a domain admin account. The share permissions are full control for Everyone and Domain Admins. The folder permissions are Read Only for Everyone and Full
    Control for Domain Admins. Like I stated, this works fine on any other system.
    When I look at the BDD.log file, sometimes I don't see anything, but most of the time I see the line "No physical adapters present. Cannot deploy over wireless." Which, in my case, is not true because I can use any other laptop with older
    Intel wireless cards, Broadcom, Atheros or whatever and it works perfectly. And, if I hardwire the offending laptops and use Ethernet instead of wireless, I can launch the VBScript and proceed just fine.
    I guess my question is, is there a way to force MDT to use any network connection, whether it's wired or wireless to deploy anything. In my case, it would be software.
    We use this option as a way for students in our high schools to be able to log in with a special account and install specific software they may need for a class. It is easier to have them do it this way than to try and install different software for
    different classes on a total of 4000 laptops.
    I am currently running Windows Server 2012 R2 with MDT 2013. The laptops are running Windows 7 SP1 x64 Enterprise and Windows 8.1.1 Enterprise.
    Any help or ideas anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated.
    ~Mike

    I understand that you got MDT to work on other adapters, and I understand that some people dislike the AC series.
    However...
    I must strongly disagree with your conclusion:
    the Intel 7260 cards just will not work for this scenario. Any other wireless card works
    perfectly fine...
    As designed, MDT is coded to block Wireless deployment scenarios. However, the algorithm used to determine if a network adapter is wired vs wireless is highly flawed, it will check the description (caption) of the network adapter and search for the string:
    "Wireless". And if I recall, it is difficult to determine Wireless vs Wired within a VBSCript.
    Set colAdapters = objWMI.ExecQuery("select * from win32_NetworkAdapterconfiguration where IPEnabled = True")
    For Each oAdapter in colAdapters
    If Instr(UCase(oAdapter.Caption),"WIRELESS") = 0 Then
    If oAdapter.IPConnectionMetric < sIPConnectionMetric Or sIPConnectionMetric = "" Then
    sIPConnectionMetric = oAdapter.IPConnectionMetric
    End If
    End IF
    If Instr(UCase(oAdapter.Caption),"WIRELESS") Then
    sWirelessConnectionMetric = oAdapter.IPConnectionMetric
    End If
    Next
    If sIPConnectionMetric = "" Then
    oLogging.CreateEntry "No physical adapters present, cannot deploy over wireless", LogTypeError
    ValidatenetworkConnectivity = Failure
    Exit Function
    End IF
    On my Lenovo W530, for example, when I disable my Wired connection, my wireless adapter reports:
    PS C:\> gwmi -query "select * from win32_NetworkAdapterconfiguration where IPEnabled = true" | select-object Caption
    Caption
    [00000002] Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN
    AS you can see, no "Wireless" in the caption string.  A connection to the deployment share works just fine.
    Therefore...
    Yes, you *may* have gotten the installation to work on the machines that *just happen* to not have "wireless" in the caption, but I would not count on this to be true on all machines in a corporate environment.

    I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • I can download and open pdfs on my macbook air.  Why can't I open a pdf from a webpage?

    I can download and open pdfs on my macbook air.  Why can't I open a pdf from a webpage?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go > Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Open a pdf from a buffered stream versus file system?

    With the PDF Library SDK is it possible to open a pdf from a stream versus the file system?

    Yes, but not trivially. You would have to implement your own
    ASFileSys, which is a method for accessing "files". This is a
    collection of methods, rather like an object oriented class, but in C.
    You would have to support get, put, open, random access, file naming
    etc.

  • When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get an error

    hello,
    When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get the error: 'there was an error opening this document the document cannot be found'. The share is on a Windows 7 machine and sharing to a OS X 10.7 Machine. Permisson has been given on the share for 'Everyone' read and Write, and is mapped to the 10.7 machine through the 'Connect to Server' in finder with login credentials.
    Can you help please?
    Kind regards,
    Chris

    This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
    Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel".  These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
    Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
    Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
    Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
    Any other ideas?

  • Cannot open another PDF from within a PDF RDR 9.1

    Hi, all. When I or one of our users tries to open a PDF from a "Table of Contents" PDF , i.e.
    Table of Contents for Job CD30A9
    Guide
    42ACC845.pdf
    42ACC84D.pdf
    42ACC84E.pdf
    42ACC84C.pdf
    The guide opens but not the other documents. The other documents open fine if clicked on individually. They are password protected (all but guide.pdf).
