Open PDF

Hello,
I have a link to a pdf file in a table which is displayed in a report. How do I open the pdf file from the report. Any help greatly appreciated.
Sharon

Hello,
Thank you for your help. I should have clarified that the PDF file is sitting on a hard drive. The report has a link to the pdf file. I want to know how to diplay the open/save dialog box for the PDF file when I click on the link in the report. All help is much appreciated. I found the following for opening a pdf file:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
I need to know how to access this javascript from the report link.
Thanks again.

This morning, Firefox stopped opening .pdf documents that I am trying to retrieve from websites. It does not download them, and the page goes blank, with nothing more happening. What do I do to fix it?

I went to the FAA website, and I needed to review a document. I clicked on the link, the page turned blank, but I never saw the document. I tried again, but I still could not get the document. Word documents still bring up the dialog box allowing me to open the document. I went to another website to find additional information on the project I am working on, and I am experiencing the same problem, when I click on a link to a pdf, it will not open, and the download dialog box does not open.
I have tried looking at applications and plugins, but everything seems to be fine. What do I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Anne

Can not open PDF's in Safari

Hi All:
I know this has been asked and answered so many time that I am sorry to post again. However, I have read many of the prior posts, tired the fixes, and still the problem persists. All of a sudden, without any erxplanation I know of, PDF links do not open within Safari, as in the past, but instead revert to the Downloads and open in Preview.
MacBook Pro OS: 10.6.8
Safari: 5.1.7
I have two other accounts set up and they both open PDF links within Safari.
I have downloaded Adobe Reader again, checked my plugins. I can’t locate any Adobe plugins on either my home account or hard drive, restarted, etc.
If possible, can someone try and offer assistance. It's one of those things which is bugging me and have been struggling with for the past three hours.
thank you.

Hi Linc:
You and Carolyn seem to tbe the go to people for this issue.
When I pull up the plug0ins from the Help Menu, I get an entire page. I've tried copying it below.
What really confuses me is that it works fine in my other accounts and I can't determine what is different in this account.
thanks,
val

I can not open PDF files in mail on iPhone 6plus

hhas anyone had a problem opening PDF files in mail. I get a grey screen

Try a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then check again.

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).

Hi. I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, It worked yesterday. Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files. I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow. I have deleted and reinstalled the application. I have rebooted. I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program. Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message. It simply says Attempt to access invalid address. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Hi Don,
I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
BEFORE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
AFTER:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
Regards,
Rave

Can't open pdf files from sites as shown in troubleshooting info but it works OK in IExplorer. Help, please

I can no longer open pdf files when clicking on a link such as: shown in troubleshooting info.
It used to work on earlier version when I had XP, now I'm Win7Pro and using version 5.0.1 The links work fine with Internet Explorer. Help, please.

Type in '''about:plugins''' into the location bar and press "Enter", at the the top is a line for plug-ins test pointing to [http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck/]
You should have Version: 10.1.0.534 for adobe acrobat but you have two older versions instead. If the one does not replace both you may have to disable the really old one, or remove through the control panel.

Unable to open pdf from some particular shared folder which is not in domain

Encountered a strange issue here.
We have copuple of users who login with Citrix session.
They are able to open pdf from all the shared folders but not one which is not in domain.
User are able to open all other files viz. doc, excel, notepad and so from that particular folder.
Issue with all the pdf files and not only one particular file.
Double clicking the pdf file starts the process AcroRd32.exe but the file does not open.
If an already running AcroRd32.exe process is there (means if Adobe Reader is already open), then it's possible to open the pdf files from that folder.
Moreover, came across one strange thing.
I created a shortcut to one of the pdf file from that folder within the same folder.
And it was possible to open pdf file from that shortcut but not directly :S
Gives error: "Acrobat failed to connect DDE server" after about 20 mins if we try to open file directly.
Googled a bit and found that issue can be resolved by navigating to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application and changing the Key "AcroviewA10" to "AcroviewR10
But when I navigated to the mentioned registry there was no AcroviewA10 but instead it was just Acroview.
Adobe Reader version: 9.5.5
I will be really grateful if somebody can provide solution for this.

What happens when you open the Adobe app, then tell it to open the file?
How big are the attachments? There are limitations to the size allowed to be sent:
Email Provider
Size Limit
Gmail
25Mb
Outlook
20Mb
Yahoo
25Mb
Are you sending the files to yourself? Not sure how you are emailing files from a website...
Are the PDF's password-protected, or some kind of copyrighted eBook perhaps? Can you email other files successfully, or are PDF's the only files that don't work?
Perhaps using a free Cloud service as an intermediary might work better.

I downloaded Adobe Reader and cannot open PDF files, can anyone tell me why? or what I need to do.

I am not able to open PDF files or documents. Why?

Here is my assessment, Claudio. I know you are revered among your peers and it's very obvious that you live on these forums. You have undoubtedly helped a lot of people and you will be rewarded in your afterlife for your endeavors here but here's a reality check for both you and Pat:
What lesson did D.Call learn from you? Likely the lesson was, don't post here or you'll be treated as an imbecile by some hotshot bitwhiz named Claudio Gonzalez.
Did you not see that D.Call said s/he was an inexperienced computer user… and was obviously asking for elementary level assistance? You were blinded by your belief that your knowledge and expertise is being wasted on anyone who isn’t forthcoming to your expectations. I merely pointed out that if you think it's such a waste of your time, why dwell? You should have left Graffiti to work with D.Call and headed off to another thread. Surely there were other posts requiring your extreme level of higher intelligence.
Think about this: You don't like it when someone talks down to you as I have here, now do you? No one does. Right now as you read this my guess is you are fuming and likely trying to think of a way to smite me. You can respond to this post in whatever tone or language you choose but I won't take offense. I’ll be the bigger man… I promise I won't reply so you can have the last word.
When you respond, see if you can take it up a notch and maybe even admit you made a mistake with your corkscrew remark. I don't think you would ever risk being so disrespectful to D.Call, and most certainly, not to me or anyone else if we were face-to-face. If you worked in my company, you would be fired for disrespecting my customers.
By the way, do you and Pat have spell check ability? If you do, you should use it.

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

Unable to open pdfs after downgrade from PS CC 2014

Greetings.
Our office has several seats of Creative Cloud, and our workstations are all Macs.
When InDesign and Photoshop upgrades to version 2014 were released, I installed them on our computers; only to discover that the upgrade is not compatible with OS X 10.6, so I had to downgrade - InDesign docs created in 2014 are not readable by InDesign CC.
Anyway, since then, I have one user who has followed the same procedure for some time, to create a pdf, which is as follows:
- Open an AutoCAD dwg file in AutoCAD (in Windows), and save as a PDF 'Drawing 1.pdf'
- Open PDF 'Drawing1.pdf' in Photoshop CC (in OS X 10.8.5)
- Add Layers, and add information (colouring in)
- Save PDF as a new PDF 'Drawing 2.pdf', saving the created Layers.
- Open PDF in Adobe Reader to print the PDF.
This used to work fine, however now the PDFs that have been modified will not open - claiming they are corrupt either with the error message: 'This is not a valid Portable Document File (PDF) document. It cannot be opened.' or 'Adobe Reader could not open 'Drawing2.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).'
Of course this means that all the work done has been lost, as the file was closed after saving.
I am not sure if the downgrade is the cause, but this is the only thing that has changed since the issue appeared.
The user has an iMac running 10.8.5.
Any help with this would be appreciated!
Cheers,
m

Hi MBP User,
Are you still facing this issue?
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall. Is this issue reproducible on other machines, if you have around you.

Opening pdf files on websites to fill them in on the website

With my iMac I can open and fill in all pdf files from websites using OSX 10.6.5. On my macbook pro using 10.7.5 or later safari will no longer open pdf files on websites and just gives you a blank black page. I use these all the time on sites from the IRS or other taxing agencies and fill in the forms and save them or print them. I have not upgraded my OS on my desktop because of this. Why is this happening and how do I fix it if it can be fixed. I talked to someone at applecare and they said the fuctionality was no longer in the operating system to do this and I can only download the pdf files. That is not sufficient because these are fillable forms on their websites. All businesses use this function and if apple really wants people to use their computers for business I would hope that their not so monumentally stupid as to write this out of the newer OS. HELP

Try another browser such as Firefox until this gets sorted out.

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help. I get the same message. What to do?

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
