Open pdf in maximized windows

In Adobe Reader XI how I can always open the PDF files by default in maximized window?

Guys,
There is a simple workaround for this. Just DON'T "Display PDF in a Browser". At first I was going to have all the users in my company Right-Mouse Click and Save PDF to their Desktop. But then realized it's just simpler to have the PDF open in the Reader and it gets around the problem fine. This is a great workaround until the whole Windows 7/IE8/Adobe PDF situation mature a bit.
In case you forgot the instructions from John, here's how:
Open Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (Pro):
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> UNCHECK the "Display PDF in browser"
This worked for our company. Hope it works for you.

Adobe 9 always opens in a Maximized window

Hi
When opening a link in Internet Explorer 6 that opens a pdf, the pdf file opens in a maximized window. When clicking on a pdf file on the computer it will always open in a maximized window.
I have gone into the properties for Adobe and made sure that it is run in a Normal Window.
I have gone into edit > preferences and have not found any options where you can select whether to open in maximized window.
Is there a way to specifiy whether to open the files in a maximized window or, as in this case, to open the window in normal/restore down view.
Thank you
Charlotte

Charlotte,
I'm having the same problem using IE 8.
Did you ever get a resolution for this? I see no one ever responded to your post.
Thanks!

I cannot open a pdf file with aole-mail. I can open pdf files from windows explorer. I have associated pdf with adobe reader. My operating system is window

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.
When I try to open the pdf file within aol e-mail I get a message: 'Your security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded'. I have not changed my security settings (Tools, Internet Options, security).

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

Opening PDF in new window

Hi all
We want to generate a pdf at runtime in new window on click of a button suppose 'Show PDF'. We have written following code using MVC module.
In HANDLE_EVENT for the button we are calling a controller method say 'Preview_PDF' which is generating a pdf and it opens in a new window too.
But at the same time we are getting blank screen or view from where the event is triggered. I want the parent view should remain undisturbed and pdf should open in new window. Please advice where am I going wrong.

Capture the generated url for the PDF document into a variable w_url and then use the client click event of the button SHOW PDF to open it in a separate window.
something like this
<htmlb:button id="btn1" onClientClick="window.open(w_url)"
this should open your pdf in a new window.
hope this helps.
Cheers

Can't open pdf files in Windows 8 with Acrobat XI

I have windows 8, and Mozilla Thunderbird email client. When attempting to open PDFs I get this message "Adobe Reader could not open 'Wiring Invoice 409343281 Dated 04_05_2013-2.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried documents from numerous different sources, all with the same result. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, restarted, etc. I did not have this issue with XP and Acrobat reader X. HELP!! I cannot print invoices until this is corrected....thanks!

Hi,
Are you try to open PDF file attachments from Mozilla Thunderbird.?
Could you try to save the PDF file locally and then try to open the PDF file?
Or try downloading sample PDF from here http://www.samplepdf.com/sample.pdf and open it in Adobe Reader.
Thanks

FF 5 no longer opens pdf in browser window & only fix on offer, Dafizilla ViewSourceWith, won't instal and greys out Menu bar.

''locking this thread - discussion is here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/857882''
I thought I had the Foxit Reader Plug-In reinstalled since I installed FF5, but I've reinstalled it again anyway and reset it to open in Firefox under Tools Options. Once I was happy with the latest Foxit Reader I really didn't want to even try the dead-buried-and-decomposed Adobe Acrobat again. I've disabled that now as it wasn't opening pdfs in Firefox either when I had it selected under Tools Options.

These are the steps I performed on my own system many months ago. I could not view PDF files in Firefox with both Adobe Reader and Foxit installed.
#Close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#If you have not already done so, uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.5 using Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click on the item, click Remove. You may need to restart your system.
#Open Foxit in your programs list Windows Start > Programs
#*on the Foxit menu, click Tools > Preferences
#*click File Associations and be sure "Display PDF in browser" is checked then click "Make Default PDF Viewer" then click OK
#*close Foxit Reader (File > Exit)
#Start Firefox
#*Open the Applications panel (Tools > Options > Applications '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Options > Options > Applications)
#*type '''pdf''' in the search box; you should see "Foxit Reader PDF document"
#*in Action column, click the down arrow at the far right end
#*choose "Use Foxit Reader plugin for Mozilla (in Firefox)'
#**if the full name does not display, place the cursor over the item to see the full name in a tooltip box
#Test on a pdf file from the internet
#*If there is no toolbar at the top of the PDF display in the tab (just a blue strip), tap the F8 key to get the Basic toolbar, or right-click the blue strip at the top to display/not display other toolbars by clicking on them (checked=display; un-checked=do not display)

Can't open pdf file in window 7

When I open pdf file, an icon is popped up showing "Adobe Reader stopped operation. Program stopped normal operation because of problem happened. Window will inform you later if probem is solved."

I had uninstalled the Adobe Reader program twice and installed again but it can't be worked.
Also, your second method can't be solved my problem.
The problem is as follows:
When I open pdf file through internet and the mouse’s cursor is inside the IE8 browser , the box popped up. Because I used Chinese windows 7. The meaning likes this
"Adobe Reader had stopped operation
Windows are trying to find the solving problem…"
Then, second box popped up.
"Adobe Reader had stopped operation
Because of problem, the application had been stopped.
Windows closed the program, to be informed you later if problem is solved"
Same problem in opening pdf file in my computer’s folder.
But it can work with the keyboard if the mouse’s cursor is not in the pdf document area. Or using Google Chrome browser to see internet pdf file.

Open PDF in new window to bookmark

Is it possible to open a PDF in a new window to a bookmark? I tried the code below; the PDF opens in a new window but does not open to the 3rd page. Appears that "page=3" is getting removed from the URL when opening. Any ideas?
<af:goLink text="View PDF" id="gl1"
targetFrame="_blank"
destination="SMWebLogicAgent_conf_enu.pdf#page=3"/>
JDeveloper 11.1.1.7

This offer Adobe doc http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf States that you can use '&' instead of the '#'.

Error opening PDF file, using Windows Vista

When I first purchased my new pc, regrettably, I was given Windows Vista. There have been a lot of problems. Of late, Adobe Reader gives me an error message when I try to open a downloaded file. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader but with no success. Could this be a Vista security issue? I can download and read the file on my work computer which used Windows XP. Also, this problem getting an error message opening and reading a file just recently occurred. I haven't made any changes to my system except automatic program updates. Can you help me?

I stumbled on a solution: Download the PDF file and instead of saying yes to open the file (because you know you'll get the error message), simply go to where you saved the file (i.e. AOL downloads) and open it there. I have no idea why I suddenly cannot open PDF files but at least I found a way to still get my information. Hope this helps.

Make sure to warn the user about the fact that you link to a
PDF document
and also mention the weight (kb) of that file.

JavaScript needed - open PDF in new window

I'm creating an interactive PDF in InDesign CS5.
This PDF contains a button I've made that links to another, separate, PDF file.
This is all working fine - trouble is, when I click the button to open the second PDF file, the first PDF automatically closes.
Is there any way to make the second PDF open in a new window, keeping the first PDF open?
I've been told I need to add a JavaScript in Acrobat.
Your help would be much appreciated!

Thanks - we're definately heading in the right direction now!
I'm not sure how to select "Open in: New Window" as specified.
In the button properties, there doesn't seem to be this sort of option (see image below).
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?
Also, I believe the link action is a "Open a file" type.

Adobe Reader 9 IE 7 Opens PDF in same window

That's basically my problem. When using internet explorer 7, if I try to click on a PDF link the PDF is opened in the same window as the page I am on. I have the website link target set to blank, so I am not sure what the problem is.
When I click on a PDF link a new window pops open, I click 'Open' on the download prompt box, but then it goes back to the original window and opens on top of the original window.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

Multiple failed attempts to open PDF file from Windows Explorer by double clicking

Hi,
The configuration of my system is: Windows 7 SP1 x64, Adobe Reader 11.0.10.32.
When double clicking on PDF file or trying Open with Adobe Reader IX in context menu in Windows Explorer or any other file manager, the Adobe Reader opens only after few attempts. At each failed attempt the new AcroRd32.exe process arises. And only after few attempts the file opens! As a result, i see multiple empty AcroRd32.exe processes in Task Manager, each take about 4000 Kb of RAM and the only one file opened. I'm forced to kill those empty processes manually, because they are not killed when closing Adobe Reader window.
I found the same problem on another PC with the same configuration.
Best,
Alexei

Hi Alexei,
Could you please let me know for how long have you started facing this issue.
Open TEMP folder (Press Windows + R and type %temp%) and delete all the files in it.
Does this happen with any specific PDF or all PDFs?
You might try disabling Protected Mode by opening Reader and going to "Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)"
Let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Anubha
