Opening pdf in Internet Explorer on Windows

I attempt to open a pdf file in Internet Explorer and get the following message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Plesx exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again".
Acrobat Reader is then launched and the pdf opens.
Is there any way I can view directly in the web browser? I can do this in Firefox on both Windows and Linux.
(Also I've had to create a new screen Ziggy Short as Ben Short has been disabled on forums for some reason, but Ben Short and Ziggy Short are one and the same).
Thanks

What's,with,the,commas?
If you have a tablet that runs full Windows 8 - not Windows 8 RT, which is limited.
And if you install the full Adobe Reader for Windows, not the special Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8.
Then you will have the same features as a desktop.
Unless they can't be accessed in touch mode, since it isn't a touch app.

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pro - dialog prompt when opening PDF from Internet Explorer 9

    Good morning.
    I am having an issue where our ends users that have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard (AAXS) or Adobe Acrobat X Pro (AAXP) cannot open a PDF within Internet Explorer 9 without being prompted by a dialog box to OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Our user that have Adobe Reader X (ARX) only are ok. The ARX users can click on a PDF link within the browser and it will automatically open in a new tab. However, the AAXS and AAXP users will click on that same link, but are then prompted with a dialog box to either OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Has any one else seen this before? We would like it to be so that all users - no matter what Adobe PDF program they are using of the 3 mentioned - can open a PDF link by just clicking on the link and no additional dialog options appear.
    The ARX users have the same Internet settings within the Adobe preferences as the AAXS and AAXP users. The check box is checked to have PDFs open within the browser, which they do, but that dialog box always appears for AAXS and AAXP users. Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

  • Can't open PDFs in Internet Explorer 9

    Hi there,
    I've been having this problem for a while now, where I'm unable to open/preview PDFs in Internet Explorer 9.
    Like, if I go to this page http://www.together-uk.org/work-for-us/current-jobs/ and click 'Benefits of working for Together' on the right NOTHING happends lol.
    I have checked for updates on Adobe Reader X, I'm up to date. Everything is ticked off in the Internet tab of Adobe Reader X. I've tried everything I think?
    Please advise,
    thanks.

    Works fine for me on IE10 and Firefox.
    Try downloading the PDF to your local disk (right-click on this link http://www.together-uk.org/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2011/11/benefofworkingfortogether. pdf and select Save Target as...).
    The problem is that the link on that website is a PHP, not a direct link to the PDF, so it may or may not work, depending on your browser settings.

  • Firefox is set as the default browser, but if I click a link in MS Word, the link is opened with MS Internet explorer. Why?

    Firefox is set as the default browser, but if I click a link in MS Word, the link is opened with MS Internet explorer. Why?

    What version of Windows and Office is it? I had this issue with an older version of office and Windows XP. Basically, MS are using their browser (IE) because it's their software (MS Office). If you go to options in MS word though, you should be able to find an option to set the default browser to open links.

  • Trouble opening website via Internet Explorer on PC

    Hi there, I have recently published two websites with iWeb, both of which open and run superbly in Safari on the Mac but when you try and open them on Internet Explorer on a PC only the top of the page will download and the rest of the site is invisible. Does anyone know why this is? I am using iWeb version 1.1.2 and have created both sites on my iMac which is running OS X 10.4.9 if this helps?
    I hope someone out there can help? I can give you the website addresses if you need further info?

    Due to my customer's most common setup I had to address these IE6 issues as well. Some background may illustrate the problems. Not only has IE6 difficulties with .png, but as well for example with lists (in case you use them, they are an undocumented feature of iWeb and somehat buggy), and more. To solve some of the .png issues iWeb spends some code utilizing "Active Script". That drives IE6 to render the page almost completely, and then the script will fix some of the ugly behavior. You can check that by your elements to navigate on top of your pages (these unfortunatley become .png) within IE6, or with the buttons to start a slideshow.
    What I found on your first page: Move the cursor over it, it turns to be a senstive area to start the user's mail program to send a mail to info@... - try to remove that first.
    Even more, there are a lot of setups of IE6 where "Active Script" is forbidden (in banks, insurances companies etc.). Ever tried to force a large organizition to migrate to IE7? Or to allow Active Script, let's say for 30.000 users? You'll get the impact...
    So here is what I did to obtain some compatibility with IE6:
    Installed IE6 on Paralles.
    Switched "Active Script" to "Never".
    Now you can check what is going on
    In my pages:
    Reengineered every element to navigate manually - no iWeb automatism, switched them all to off with iWeb's inspector
    Reconstructed every picture to the size they should be /outside/ of iWeb, using Graphics Converter
    Removed every frame from all text elements in iWeb
    Switched to web and windows compatible fonts (e.g. Courier to Courier New)
    Checked every page to contain plain text instead of graphic - click into the rendered page and try to drag: Does the the whole block move? Then you are on the wrong way
    Removed every formatting attribute from the text: Alignment, Highth etc.
    The only element I couldn't cover is the button for the slideshow - but I've read somewhere else that you can define an object and associate that with a link directly to the script on your server which iWeb puts there. But of course that does not help in case where your favorite visitors are cut off from using Active Script completely.
    Good Luck!

  • How to restore Adobe Flash Player for 32 bit Internet Explorer of Windows 8.1 64 bit?

    Default Windows 8.1 64 bit install runs Internet Explorer 11 32 bit and all it's features, but slight disturbance for install of integrated applications runs user in such a trouble of loopback which he or she cannot escape, because problem application doesn't
    runs for Windows or for it's programs, won't show it's Windows existence but wouldn't allow install of it's new software, I could only install complete new program for Windows program to run desired object.
    I am using Rocket browser for Internet Explorer 11 32 bit because of problem of Adobe Flash Player uninstall or install.
    But how many applications do I have to search, trial and if at all successful install for use because of problems of such applications of Windows?

    As we have reviewed in other threads on the same topic. Internet Explorer for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 make use of separate management and content processes which on the desktop in a 64 bit environment are 64 bit and 32 bit respectively.
    This is explained here on the IEInternals blog.
    In most scenarios, the multiple processes are entirely transparent to the browsing experience. 32 bit addons continue to load and interact as expected with the content processes in which they are run and web scripts which detect browser architecture continue
    to function, detecting a 32 bit browser.
    In the Modern UI experience, the scenario is even more transparent as support for addons such as Flash and JavaScript are integrated into the 64 bit processes and updated through standard Windows Updates.

    Answer for problem simply Got it !
    Internet Explorer 11 needs websites 'Trusted', add all pages in need of running addons, and rest Windows operating system handles.
    Now I am listening to songs on Windows Media Player (T3 skin) from a website which earlier messaged Adobe Flash Player not installed refusing playing songs, but now running programs without installing Adobe Flash Player.

  • Can't run an applet with Internet Explorer for Windows

    I'm not sure this is the right news group, if not please direct me to the correct one.
    I have an applet at http://209.55.115.36/webfit/Instructions/instructio_list.php?section_id=1&instructionsPage=2 It works in various browser except internet explorer for Windows. I've tried it with IE on windows XP, 98 and ME. Here is what I do.
    1) I uninstall any copies of the Java Plugin.
    2) I install a new copy of the Java Plugin
    3) I test that I can see the Java Coffee cup in IE
    I try loading in my applet and I get a big grey spot.
    The applet works with all Mac Browsers, Netscape and Opera, but not IE. I don't get any error messages, just nouthing.
    Any pointers or thoughts would be helpful. I'm under a time crunch because I wanted to show it off at a trade show this weekend.

    HEY! I saw what you're talking about! I was working on my own stuff, and my applet said it loaded and init'd, but was still blank. The only difference was I had upgraded to the Plug-In 1.4.1 this morning. So I went back to version 1.4.0 and it worked perfectly again. Maybe that's what's happening to you. So ignore the link I just posted and go to this one:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html
    That'll let you download version 1.4.0 instead, and I'll bet you that one works. Let me know. Good luck!
