PDF allow from new Version Still Broken

Enterprise health care web application.. we display pdf's with reports.. we claim our app supports firefox.
Well since the update to 33.x Firefox no longer opens PDF's, PERIOD!
I went through your recommendations from this question,, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/978520 and they are all to no avail.
Windows RDLC Report viewer renders the PDF we use "iTextSharp" like everybody else, and spew out bytes from the reportviewer control to generate a PDF.
It's been working fine for like ever.. but since this update we may now need to inform our customers that we no longer support Firefox because they have gone stupid...
Seriously what the heck ?!?!?
I'm going to go check Chrome now.. then debug this kraziness...

You Can't be serious ......suggesting some workaround to bypass the broken functionality. !!!
You are implying that I direct our ----thousands----- of customers that when they are using Firefox, that they additionally must acquire an appropriate PDF viewer to view the reports that our software produces for them.
'''UNACCEPTABLE'''
With all the myriad of issues we as Microsoft developers have with IE and the apparent pervasiveness of this (firefox) PDF display issue , I would think you'd have a fix ASAP .. This looks bad for firefox.... perhaps we will have to replace the recommendation as secondary browser to chrome now .. For the record the PDF displays fine still in IE.

  • Open document from newer version in an older one?

    I'm new here, and maybe it's a stupid question for most of you. But if I make documents in InDesign CS6, can I open them in CS5?

    The longer answer is the .indd file cannot be opened in any earlier version, but you can export or Save As .idml and that will open in versions back to CS4, with some caveats. You will lose any new features that didn't exist inthe earlier version, text may reflow, and if you have placed pages from a newer version doc, even .idml will fail in an older version.

  • Premiere Pro CC2014 Crashes, won't update (U44M1P7), cleaner doesn't help, says projects are from newer version

    Hi,
    Premiere Pro CC2014 (win 8.1) has stopped working for me. I tried to update yesterday but that failed. Nevertheless, I could still work in PP.
    Today when opening any project (I worked on them yesterday) I get this:
    Premiere Pro Debug Event
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [c:\cloudroom\releases\2014.09\shared\mediacore\mediafoundation\api\in (<-at this point the edge of the dialog box is reached)
    Then I get a 'Premiere Pro has encountered a serious error'-message end it's game over.
    Restarting doesn't help, this keeps on happening.
    So, I tried to update again; update still fails
    Uninstalled PP CC2014
    Used Adobe Cleaner Tool
    Reinstalled PP CC2014, I now get a message:
    Installation succeeded, but a patch failed
    Errors encountered during installation. (U44M1P7)
    Start up PP CC2014, try to open a project I worked on yesterday and get a message that it can't open this because it was created with a newer version.
    So, I am screwed. I need a solution asap, as in NOW.
    I have deadlines to make.
    regards

  • Have downloaded new Firefox 3 times and the new version still didn't take? What do I need to do?

    After downloading the new version I tried to drag the symbol to the docking station and thought I did. When I signed on again, the message to download the new version of Firefox was still there. Did I or didn't I succeed with the download?

    I have followed the other discussions and done the suggested updates or deletes and to no avail.
    Unless you tell us exactly what you have tried, we have no way of knowing exactly which updates or deletes? aren't working for you.
    Try installing the combo >  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed, try the App Store.

  • Sample .PDF files from Adobe versions 9, 10, 11, etc.

    I'm a software developer/tester and I'm currently testing a new software we are using to manipulate/upload PDF files to our website.  The software opens the PDF, counts the number of pages, displays the page numbers in a listbox, then lets users select which pages from the original document they would like to upload as a new document.
    That is working just fine.
    Where I could use some help is getting sample .PDF files created in Adobe 9, 10, 11, etc (1.7 ext 1, 3, 5 ,etc).  I want to test each version because we've had issues with a previous 3rd party software where it would not handle later versions (anything past 8, I believe).  I have Adobe 8.1 on my development machine right now and unfortunately I need to keep it the same version to handle PDF creation for other projects which can't handle the later versions.
    I've googled and googled and there doesn't seem to be a site that just has sample PDF files formatted in the various versions.  Can anyone point me in the right direction or host a few small PDF files?  If possible it would be better if they were at least 2 pages so I can test the extract pages feature.
    Thanks,
    James

    You refer to the extension levels, but they're nothing to do with the version of Acrobat - they relate to what's in the file. If you have 3D or Rich Media, you get an EL3 file - doesn't matter if you author it in A9 or AXI. Genuine EL5 PDF files are very rare, as the spec only introduced a couple of little-used options such as ColorDodge transparency blending. Most of them are actually XFA files from LiveCycle, as that's the version tag used to wrap XFA3 code.

  • Can't print PDF's from new printer Brother HL-L2340DW

    Installed new wireless Brother printer today. Can print word, excel, as well as webpages just fine, but cannot get any PDF's to print. I open these docs in Adobe Reader. Doesn't matter whether I have them downloaded from the web, or saved on my pc. Doesn't say it's spooling or printing at all. Doesn't give an error message either. Brother tech support was no help - said problem is with Adobe. Please help?

    Hi auriekitkat,
    Please check the issue after connecting the printer using USB cable.
    Please let us know the Operation System installed on your computer and the exact version of Adobe Reader.

  • TRYING TO GET RID OF NEW ADOBE READER - TURNED ALL MY PDF'S TO NEW VERSION

    I made the mistake of downloading and installing the newest 9.X version of Adobe. Problem because it has turned ALL OF MY saved PDF documents into 9.x version. This is bad because it cannot be opened by the recipient unless they too have the latest version. I can't force potential sponsors to have to download to view.
    I deleted the 9.x version and did an ADOBE AIR uninstall. But all my old pdf documents were not converted back to the older version. Now when you click on them there is an error because I've removed the program. Can't open them now.
    ANYBODY KNOW what to do to get my older docs to open and to have it where Firefox and Safari - save to the older version of Adobe; not the newer one that it is still doing? Both browsers save to the 9.X adobe version which can't be opened.
    I want the old Adobe back. Please help!!
    Thanks. :o)
    I al

    I made the mistake of downloading and installing the newest 9.X version of Adobe.
    Do you mean the Reader or the Professional version? I ask because...
    Problem because it has turned ALL OF MY saved PDF documents into 9.x version.
    Completely impossible unless you actually opened each PDF file and re-saved it. If you didn't do that, then the OS is simply showing you that the files are now associated with last installed version or Acrobat. Even if you did install the Professional version, it will not, and cannot alter all of your standing PDF documents without you doing so yourself. They will still be in whatever version format they were last saved in.
    But all my old pdf documents were not converted back to the older version.
    That's because the OS still thinks that's the program to open them in, even though you've removed it. Install the Acrobat 8 Reader and the associations should change back to that version.
    ANYBODY KNOW what to do to get my older docs to open and to have it where Firefox and Safari - save to the older version of Adobe;
    Reinstalling the version 8 Reader will also reinstall the version 8 browser plugins.

  • Unable to open a pdf after downloading new version

    I downloaded Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 for Mac 10.7.5.  When a pdf is opened from the web, I can view but the print preview is blank and I can't print.  When I save the pdf from the web and try to open the file, I get an error message "The file [file name].pdf could not be opened.  It may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognize."  Please help!  Thanks.

    Dear LivingDaDream:
    I got things to work for me.  This is what I did.  Open your browser, Google or Internet Explorer.  Under tools go to Options.  Select the Program tab.  Select "Set program as a file type or protocol with a program".  Scroll down and find the pdf file type on the left.  Then click the "Choose Program" bottom.  Choose Adobe Reader.  Then close.  That's it! 
    Let me know if it works for you.   Doctorwink

  • Problems opening some PDF's with new version of Adobe Reader X

    Ever since the latest update for adobe reader has come out I have been unable to open some PDF's. This was never an issue with the older version. When I try to open certain PDF's the reader says "Not Responding" and nothing happens. This does not happen on all PDF's, just some.

    Ditto on Darrenz16's problem.  New WIN7-64 Home Premiun system with Adobe Reader 10.1.2.  Reads several files, then starts locking up when I try opening new files.  Seems like Reader is failing to release some resource and eventually running out of whatever it is.  Rebooting seems to help temporarily.  Never had this problem on previous systems.  A set of good examples are the .pdf files at the bottom of this page:  http://www.hussman.net/weeklyMarketComment.html
    I can open a few, but then Reader locks up trying to download the files.

  • Validation Failure : Downgrade from Newer Version to the Older Version.

    We have recently upgraded our application from RTR 1.0 version to RTR 2.0 version.

    But see if Firefox works first.

  • Application Manager from trial-version still popup when Acrobat X Pro opens

    Hello Support,
    on my mac I installed the german trial-version of the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium.
    Then I decided to use your english version of Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium Subscription Edition. I bought, downloaded and installed it. Every program like Photoshop, Illustrator etc. is working fine. But when it comes that Acrobat® X Pro has to open a PDF then every time the Application Manager from the german trial-version pops up and please me to buy the german version.
    Is there a way to stop this annoying progress?
    Greetings from Berlin, André

    Deactivate the whole suite and Acrobat with erasure of the serial, uninstall it, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall and activate again.
