Opening a pdf from a web link

I recently installed Acrobat Pro in both my IMac and MacBook Pro. When I click on a hyperlink with a .pdf extension, nothing happens - blank screen. When I used Acrobat 8, I had no such problem.

What browser are you using?

Why can't I open a pdf from a web-site

Windows 7 Home is my operating system. Internet Explorer 10 is my browser. I cannot open a pdf file off my VISA account web-site. I have downloaded and agreed to the latest Adobe Reader XI (I also have Adobe X, should I uninstall it?) When I try to open the pdf file which is my monthly VISA statement, I get this message: "To help protect your security, your web browser has blocked this website from displaying non-secure content." I have also turned off the pop-up blocker. Nothing works. Can anyone help. I am a novice on computer technology, so I don't know much about the way the computer works (my husband is the expert in this household, but he's recovering from heart surgery and is not yet able to think through these situations). I thought I already posted this problem, but I can't find my post.

Firefox is a good browser, but it comes with its own PDF viewer, which may not display PDF files correctly. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136
If you want to continue to use Internet Explorer, you may want to lower its security settings; see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Change-Internet-Explorer-Security-settings

How can I launch or open a pdf from the Web using Reader X?

Before I upgraded to Adobe Reader X, I could click on a file to download from the web and it would give me the option to Open, Save or Cancel. Now that I have upgraded, I only have the option to Save or Cancel. Often I would rather Open the document to see it before deciding to save it or not. Is there a Setting or Preference somewhere that will bring back the Open option? btw, I'm using Windows 7 as my OS.

ImagineThat:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a 3rd party application, pdf-RecoverPro, that will let you lock the file to printing, changing, etc. You set two passwords, one to let the user view it and one to unlock the restricted features. Just provide the first password and send the file. You can try the demo version. It just saves one page in demo mode.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Opening a PDF from the Web

hi i am trying to open acrobat reader with a document by specifiying it in the command line, such as
acrord32 http://www.domain.com/file.pdf.... however this does not seem to work??
Acrobat says "There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume syntax is incorrect."
however if i try
acrord32 c:\file.pdf... this works fine.
Does anyone know how to open a web pdf through the command line?
Regards.

See if you can delete any Adobe PDF plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/. Then quit and re-open your web browser and try again.

How do I open a pdf on a web page in Safari without Acrobat Reader?

At the moment I have removed Acrobat Reader 10.3.1 because it conflicts with Safari. Preview is a perfectly fine pdf reader (and with lots of very nice features) but I don't see how I can make Preview open a pdf from a web page until it has been downloaded to file. And I have found at least one site that will not download to file before opening.

Right-click in the PDF when it's displayed in Safari and select Open with Preview from the popup menu. Depending on how the PDF is embedded in the web page, this may not be possible.

IE stops working when trying to open a PDF on the web.

I have checked the add-ons and Adobe Reader is enabled. I have the file AcroIEHelperShim.dll installed. When I try to open a PDF from a web page, IE stops working. What to do?

Thanks for your reply.
IE version 9.0.8112.16421; Adobe Reader version 10.1.3. Only in the last week IE stops responding when I try to open a .PDF file from the web – eg bus route map, catalogue etc. The messages sometimes say “error in preview handler” and sometimes “runtime error – abnormal program termination” – each time the program is terminated. The Reader opens any previous saved files OK, both downloaded from web or via email. Occasionally one from the web displays, with the error message over the top, but am unable to scroll the document or picture, enlarge it etc. I tried copying the PDF file to put on the desktop, but all that copied was the icon for the file.

Accessing a schedule from a web link

Hi All,
Is there any way I can open a schedule from a web link? I can see that there is a Java Class involved to get the BPC for Excel to run and I'm assuming it'll be a small addition to that. I'm struggling to get it working though so if anyone else has done this I'd be most appreciative of some assistance.
Basically what I am trying to do is link schedules to a website in the same way they are linked in a BPF.
Thanks

Just a few clarification statements. You are trying to build a web page that resides outside the BPC framework that will call various Excel based files/templates upon click, correct? I assume each user that has access to this web page would then have BPC for Excel as a client? If yes, then had you considered using a Custom Menu? That allows you to build lists of access points to templates, in excel, that may look like the web as well?
Otherwise, I have never been able to query a template from a web connection. I think I would need the code used for the query, similar to either the BPF code, or what is built into the Custom Menu coding, but is locked from view.
Hope this helps.

Opening pdfs from the web

Hello,
I am having a wierd issue with pdfs from the web. I have adobe acrobat pro 9 (patched up to date) and I have enabled the 'do not open in browser' setting. When I click a pdf link, it opens acrobat 9 as it should but the file name/file type is not .pdf. I do not have reader installed and cannot figure it out. The main issue is when I click the email link, it sends the link for the unknown file rather than the .pdf as I intended.
The short term work around is to save as and reopen the newly saved .pdf.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Go to Adobe Acrobat Reader Preferences and, under Internet, it asks if you want to display PDFs in Acrobat Reader (or Acrobat Pro, etc.). If checked, uncheck the box. Then CTRL-click on a PDF file and select "Open With". If you hold down the Option key at this point, this Open With" will change to "Always Open With". Select Preview. That should do it. Watch out for Reader or some other Adobe programs that ask if you want to make Reader the default PDF viewer when you open them. Always answer "NO".

How can I download a .pdf document from a web link without Adobe Reader starting automatically and preempting the download?

That depends on your operating system and browser. On Windows, e.g. using Firefox, you right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'.

I found this discussion : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3874025

Error. your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.

I have the following inside my SharePoint server 2013 :-
EnterPrise Wiki site collection.
i have both "Excel services Application "& "Visio Graphics Service" running correctly.
The problem i am facing is as follow:-
when a user click on an Excel sheet or Visio document , it will be shown inside the browser without any problem.
but if the user click on "Open in Visio" OR "Open in Excel" links inside the browser, they will get the following errors:-
Sorry, but to open this workbook, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Excel and a browser that supports opening files directly from Office Web Apps.
To open this document, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.
I have the following settings inside my PC:-
Office 2010 for Excel, word, power point,etc.
Visio 2013.
i have disabled SharePoint foundation support for office 2013
Can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.
Here is a blog about the same issue for you to take a look at:

My Mac won't print a pdf from the web

My iMac will not print any pdf from the web. The printer (an ho Photosmart plus) will only print a blank shet of paper.

Try saving the file then, then open Preview and open the file and try printing again. If if the quality is still bad then it's the file itself.

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.
