I use a web site that requires you to fill out forms online but when I open the form it olny allows me to open in adobe off line and it will not allow me to submitt on line. I have a Mac computer and at one time it was working. The tech support tell me to go adobe preference and change internet setting to open in browser but I can't find it. Can you help?

    Error message says need Adobe reader 8 or 9 installed to open pdfs from web pages yet Reader 9 is alredy installed on computer. Is this a 64 bit ossue although I am sure I did not have this problem prior to a replacement hard drive being installed.

    What is your operating system, browser?
    What is the exact message you are getting?

  • Opening PDF in Web Browser(IE)

    Hi,
    I have written a program to download PDF file. When user will click on "Download" link, PDF file should open in web browser IE itself. Currently file is opening in separate window. I am creating this PDF file run time and it is not stored in harddisk. In Acrobar Reader, I have checked the check box "Display PDF in browser". Despite this it is opening in separate window.
    I have written following code:
    byte abyte0[] = pdfGenerator.generatePDF(getXslFile(instancedata), new String(instancedata.requestResult.message, "UTF-8"));
    httpservletresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    httpservletresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
    httpservletresponse.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + instancedata.userId + "_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".pdf");
    httpservletresponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
    String s = new String(abyte0, "UTF-8");
    servletoutputstream = httpservletresponse.getOutputStream();
    servletoutputstream.write(abyte0, 0, abyte0.length);
    servletoutputstream.flush();
    Kindly suggest what is required to open PDF in Web browser (IE).
    Regards,
    Dev

    I don't see anything wrong here offhand.
    In your download link, you aren't using target="new" or anything, are you?

  • Unable to open PDF in Web Browser and delay for printing

    In my LAN, on several PCs running with Windows 7 (32 and 64 bits), I observe two problems with "Acrobat Reader XI":
    - Delays / unable to open pdf files in the web browser (Internet Explorer).
    - Delays in printing: for example it takes over 8 minutes to print a pdf file: 400kB for two pages (on different printers / models).
    Here's the list of actions that I've allready tried to issue those problems:
    For the Web Browser problem :
    - Repair the "Acrobat Reader XI" installation.
    - Uninstalling and Installing Acrobat Reader.
    - In the web browser, disabling and activating the add-on (Adobe PDF Reader).
    - Uninstall "Acrobat Reader XI" and install "Acrobat Reader X"
    Temporary issue: downgrade to "Acrobat Reader 9", which solves the problem with the web browser.
    For the printing delay:
    - Repair the "Acrobat Reader XI" installation
    - Change the printers drivers (install Universal Drivers PCL)
    - Check the box: "Print As Image" before printing
    Any Idea ?

    You can get that error if there is still an old Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

  • Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 - Can't open PDF on web

    Hi,
    On my work machine, I have Acrobat 6 installed so I can create PDFs (I hope to get authorized for Acrobat 8 soon). When trying to view/open a PDF on a website, I was getting the following message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required."
    And the PDF won't open.
    I downloaded Reader 9, and updated both Acrobat 6 and Reader 9 with all updates.
    In Preferences, I have played with enabeling/disabeling the "Display PDF in browser" on both Arobat and Reader with no luck.
    Are there any other settings I need to change to be able to open PDFs?
    Many thanks!

    I'm having a similar problem and am totally frustrated.
    I have an old version of acrobat reader 5, but today I downloaded reader 9, but when I click on .pdf files online, I get the same message saying that I need reader 8 or 9 to open files on the web.... which I have!
    I went in, after reading this thread, and made sure my 5 had the "display PDF in browser" UNCHECKED, and that it WAS checked in 9... but still no dice. For a few years now I've been unable to just click on and open pdf files online, and have been going a long route around by right clicking pdf's, clicking on "save target as", saving the files to my desktop, then opening reader 5 and going to file, open, and opening the file. What a huge pain in the butt though... all I want to do is be able to click pdf files and open them in my browser!!
    Oh, and another bizarre thing that has happened is that since installing reader 9, all the icons on every pdf file on my computer has changed to the icon windows uses for files of an unknown type. Can't figure out why since when I double click any of these files, they open right up in reader 9.
    I'm beyond irritated with trying to figure this out, so I'm open to any suggestions anyone has!

  • Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

    Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
    have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
    So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
    My machine has both on and no problems.
    Thank YOU for your help!!

    It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 does not open pdf on web

    I have just done a clean installation of Win Vista Home Premium, and put CS4 on it. I always throw out a lot of links and programmes that come with a re-install, but may have thrown out too much this time: Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 opens pdf's just fine as long as they are on my hard disk. It does not open pdf files on web sites.
    I remember trying to delete the link to Acrobat.com that has nestled itself at the top of "All Programs". Its icon has dissapeared, but otherwise it seems ok. It seems unlikely that that has anything to do with my not being able to open pdf's on the web, but I mention it anyway.
    Anybody any ideas and remedies? Thanks.

    I just realised the same pdf on the web is opened properly by Acrobat Pro when the site is open in IE. It does not work in Firefox 3.5.2, however.
    I pointed in Firefox Tools > Options > Applications the application to open pdf's to Acrobat 9.1 . It does work now, but in a rather weird fashion: Acrobat seems to sort of swirl into my Firefox window. Never mind, the pdf's do open.

  • Mac won't open pdfs from web links.

    I am running Mac OS  v 10.5.8 and it suddenly stopped displaying PDFs that are opened via web links.  All I see is a grey screen with the file title.pdf at the top, no error message.  Has anyone experienced this or aware of a fix?  Soooooo frustrating.
    Thanks!

    Alternatively, you can select any PDF file from Finder, hit Command-i, or right click on the file and select Get Info.
    From there, change Open With to Safari.
    Then hit the button Change All.
    And done.

  • Error in opening PDF from web ()

    Hi Folks
    I have 9.3.4 installed in XP Pro.
    recently (last week), it downloaded an update, and since then, i cannot view PDFs via the web (usually via Firefox 3.6) - whenever i click on a pdf link, i get an empty error dialog box. (see image below)
    The only way i can view the pdf - is to right click and download first (save to me pc) and then open it.
    Any idea what the issue can be?
    Thanks!

    Try to repair the installation (under the help menu).

  • Reader 9, blank dialog box, can't open PDF from web

    I have a newly custom built computer running XP Pro (Quad-core with 3g of ram). I have a fresh install of Reader 9 and Firefox 3.0.1. When trying to open a PDF shipping label from USPS.com, Reader opens and an empty dialog box appears with only the OK button. When I click OK, Reader closes. I cannot print my shipping labels. Please help.

    Same problem here. It took me a while, but I got it to work.
    Changing on how the content type would be handled did it for me.
    Check the image here:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Image:Fx3Applications.png
    I needed to change the entry for 'PDF Document'. I set it to the top option. Doing this and testing it right away yielded in a crash. After restarting firefox the problems were gone.
    More info on the image above: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Adobe_Reader
    My guess is that the Adobe reader couldn't handle the fact that firefox hadn't downloaded the document yet, but was still trying to get it to open.

  • Cannot View PDF in Web Browser error

    Using windows XP sp3 has adobe reader 9 on it...
    Installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended was trouble prone enough, but now there is more...
    When trying to open a PDF in a browser window, you get the following dialog error message (sample site:http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone)
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
    For the cost of this program, I expected better. The above was not a problem before installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended.
    Please advise.
    Thanks
    bob

    I did a google search and found a fix that was a bunch of registry entries that worked for me:

    It is just anoying to spend this kind of money on a piece of software and have so many problems out of the box.
    Yes, I have run the updater software.

  • Open a pdf in web browser disable comments right pane permanently

    I have a user base that uses Acrobat Pro X, desktop client and enable via Web Browsers.  Constantly when opening PDF images from a web site, the pdf will open in a new window and open the comment tool bars in the right hand pane.
    Disable the comment bar, by clicking and expanding the image to use the whole window.  They will close the browser, completely, open a new pdf file and have to reset the broswer view once again to disable the comments bar.
    How do you set it permanently to remain closed - and open only when needed.

    OK I had this problem for over 3 months now could not find anything to fix it.
    I did the reinstall and also delete reg keys and so on nothing seem to help.
    I tried adobe reader 8.3.1 did not help but When I try the adobe 7.1.0 it work.
    So uninstall the adobe reader 9.3.0.1 and google adobe reader 7 it will take to to adobe website
    on OS pick the XP SP2 and it will show the 7.1.0 ver. download it and install it
    That worked for me try it.

  • I am no longer able to open or download most PDFs from web pages. I have the pop-up blocker turned off in Preferences.

    In recent months I have found that I am unable to download or open PDF documents from web pages. Download links either open a blank page in a new tab or do nothing. PDFs that I am unable to view in Firefox can be viewed and/or downloaded in Safari most of the time and Chrome all of the time so I assume the problem is not my computer or operating system. I recently turned off the pop-up blocker but that did not make a difference. The problem has worsened over the past couple months, it appears that more and more web sites are moving to a different protocol for viewing/downloading PDFs. It used to happen occasionally but now I find that I am unable to view a majority - about 75% - of PDFs. I am using Firefox v18 for Mac with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    hello ahegarty, you could try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ PDF Viewer] addon, for more details also see [[PDF files are blank and can't be downloaded on Mac]].
