Opening a PDF URL in Adobe Reader

Hello All,
I have a query, we use SharePoint 2010 and I've read and followed the Adobe article on how to integrate SharePoint 2010 with Adobe Reader X so that the PDF's held within a document library open within Adobe Reader X and checks out in SharePoint, etc.. This works great.
However, what I want to do is navigate to the URL within the document library, i.e. http://sharepoint/doclibrary/document.pdf and have it open within Adobe Reader (like it does when you open it from the document library, so it prompts you to check it out and then save it back).
What it seems to do is prompt me to download the file..
Can anyone help? I'm sure i'll need to wrap the URL in some syntax, but I have no idea! Any help is always appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Dayna

Pat:
Thank you again. I saved the file to my Desktop and when I opened Adobe Reader the file opened.
This will help with much more than Adobe.  I owe you.
Thanks,
Bernie.

    What is your operating system?
    Open a PDF from where?  If online, in what browser?

  • When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

    This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

    I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes.  Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue? 

    Thank you!  That seemed to do the trick.  Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

  • How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

    I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library.  I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad.  I can't see how I can open those PDF files.  The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly.  Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

    Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
    Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
    To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks.  You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
    To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
    Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

    If Reader ISN'T in the list of prpgrams to open with, click "Browse"
    In the "Browse window" go to C/Program files [or Program Files (x86)]/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader
    Select "AcroRd32.exe" and click "Open"
    Make sure "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked and click "OK".

  • "Insufficient data for an image" when opening a PDF, even with Adobe Reader 11.0.06

    I have extracted some pages from a large, scanned, PDF into a separate document, using a product called Nuance PDF Converter 7, and when we try to open that with Adobe Reader 11.0.06, we receive the error "Insufficient data for an image".  I have read that this error was supposed to be fixed with the latest version of Adobe Reader 11, but I have installed that, and it doesn't help.

    I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2,  but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

  • Opening 'old' PDF files using Adobe Reader 9

    Hi all, has anyone else had problems opening PDF files created prior to mid August 2006 using the latest reader? I can read these files ok using Version 7.1 which fortunately i still have on one of my systems. It only seems to be those provided by a specific utility company (Gas/Electric bills) is there any way of determining what is hanging version 9? It seems to start loading & then just registers as 'Not responding' in task Manager.... Still using Windows 2000; SEMPRON 3400+; 2Gbyte memory system hangs, yet other system using version 7.1 Windows 2000; DURON 1400; 512mbyte memory works fine.
    any ideas??????

    I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

  • Cannot open a PDF form in Adobe Reader 7

    Hello
    I have developed a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8. The form has java script embedded in it to do validations. The form has Usage Rights enabled and works well versions 8 and 9. However, when I open the form in Adobe Reader 7, I am getting an error message asking me to download a higher version. When I view the form properties in LiveCycle Designer for this form, I have the following settings:
    XDP Preview form: Acrobat 7 (static PDF form) under defaults tab.
    Under compatibility tab, I have the following settings:
    Form Type: Acrobat 8 (static PDF form)
    Text Formatting: Version 7
    Event model: Version 7.
    Much appreciate if someone could tell me how to make this form compatible with Adobe Reader 7.

    thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
    the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
    I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
    How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
    Appreciate your quick response.

  • How do you permanently disable Tool Pane from showing up every time you open a pdf document in Adobe Reader DC 2015?

    Just like 9.9/10 people out here in the real world, I use Adobe Reader to read pdf files and never (ever) use the Tool Pane for anything.
    How do I permanently disable it from showing up, instead of having to close it *each & every time* I open a pdf document? The majority of people don't want thins thing covering up the page they are trying to read.

    Okay, seems I've stumbled upon an ugly workaround but it works for me. I'm using Windows 8.1. Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.
