PDF documents suddenly not opening in Firefox 3.5.6

I'm running Windows XP and using Adobe Reader 9.2 with Acrobat 6.0 installed.
In the last couple of weeks Adobe Reader has suddenly stopped opening some PDF documents (but not all) in Firefox 3.5.6.
The error message is attached. "The Adobe/Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe/Acrobat Reader and exit your web browser and try again".
Any ideas what has gone wrong?

You might want to check here to see if you have everything configured correctly.

PDF documents will not open in Adobe Acrobat 5

I have one computer with XP running Acrobat 5. I now have a second computer running Windows 7 with Acrobat 9 Pro. When I take PDF documents from the computer with Acrobat 9 Pro to the one with Acrobat 5, the PDF docs will not open - an error message states the file is corrupted. Why is this hapening and how can it be fixed?
Thanks for any assistance - confused.

#1 - The files were moved using a thumb/USB drive and "Safely Remove" was used.
#2 - You may be on to something here for some: Some were created by AA9 but some others were scanned in and some were from AA8 that I had no trouble before.
#3 - The only "special feature" is that the PDF files are searchable and some are a PDF of an image.
These are basic PDF files.
Thanks for your assistance

PDF files will not open in Firefox 3.0.10

When I click on a PDF file nothing happens. I have installed the Reader, repaired it, uninstalled the Reader and unistalled it to no avail. There was a problem with FoxitPDF reader which had and is installed, since then I can not open PDF files.

Hello,
In Firefox, go to:
Tools > Options
Select the Applications tab.
Adobe Acrobat Document will probably be the first item in the list. What program is currently selected in the Action list, to the right? You can change it, there may be 2 Adobe listed. If it's not already selected, change the action to Adobe Reader, if possible, then see what happens when you try opening a PDF within Firefox.

Secure PDF Document will not open

I am trying to open a billing statement from my university. It opens in Adobe Reader as a PDF; however, instead of showing my bill, there is a message that reads: "If this message is not eventually replaced by your statement, then your PDF reader may not be able to display this document." This is followed by links to this website to update the reader. However, I already have the latest Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03), but the correct document never loads. What is going on here??

You are trying to open it in FireFox or Chrome, is my guess. They don't use Adobe Reader.
Save the file to your desktop, open it from there.

Pages PDF documents does not open in another computer?

Pages documents which I export to PDF does not open in another computer (Mac or PC).
my computer is macbookpro and earlier everything worked fine.
Pages is 4.05 version.
Thanks!

There is a bug in OSX 10.6.7 which damages pdf files using PostScript OpenType fonts.
You will need to go back to the earlier OSX 10.6.6 by reinstalling from your Installer DVDs.
Or only use TrueType OpenType fonts. Get info in FontBook to find out which is which.

MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Double Clicking on a PDF document, will not open

When double clicking on a PDF document with the default document properties set to Acrobat Professional 8, the document will not launch Acrobat.
If Acrobat is already opened however it will launch.
I've tried:
re-setting file associations
deleting preferences
Uninstalling and reloading Acrobat: (solves the issue for a time but after a period of use it reverts to this broken state).
OS X 10.5.5 is fully updated, as is Acrobat 8.

Another Utility that will do the same without aid of DVD.
is a Utility called
AppleJack version 1.5 works with OSX.5.x and version 1.4.3 work with all previous systems.
download install the go into Single User mode (restart Command-S) wait for screen to come up will be in B&W as soon as it starts up release until you see a Blinking Block Cursor. type applejack as instructed on screen. follow the commands as shown in Order.
I amazing what problems it can clear up. Font Caches are removed and others. If you follow all the way to the end. Its amazing how much your machine will speed up up not having to wade through obsolete Cruft. Note if you do everything to the end. will take you computer a few minutes to rebuild caches, and other items.

Adobe/Acrobat PDF documents will not open, tried community suggestions, version 9.4.4.235

Assorted websites may refer to links for documents to open, but I receive an error message stating that the Adobe/Acrobat loaded will not open them, I have tried all of the community suggestions to no avail

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following. 
#Fun Web Products 
#My Web Search Plugin 
#Smiley Central 
For the above three, see: http://www.pchell.com/support/mywebsearch.shtml
In addition, disable the Yahoo ActiveX plugin.
ActiveX is a Microsoft technology which is frequently targeted by criminals. Although the technology is reasonably safe when running inside Internet Explorer, it potentially exposes your system to attack when installed in Firefox.
You do not need it to access Yahoo in any event.
If the problem persists in spite of the above steps, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
'''N.B.''' You do not need to run "Hijack This" as described in the link since Firefox provides the option to disable plugins as mentioned above.

PDF documents are not opening

I have reader installed, but when I download a PDF document I have to manually "open with" reader. There are not any other PDF programs on the computer. Using win 7.

Which Reader version you are using? Do you see any error by double clicking on pdf simply?
Share error snapshot if you see some.

Pdf's suddenly not opening!

hi all, I have not been able to open pdf's on my macbook pro for over a month. I have osx 10.6.8. Suddenly, pdf's open but the screen is black. I 've gone to the adobe website and downloaded the latest update several times. I'm wondering if there was some glitch in a software update? Is there a fix? Thanks!

yes, this worked! Thanks so much. I did several google searches over the past month and for some reason never came across this one.
You have to close Safari, delete plugins, empty trash, and then re-open Safari. I didn't have to restart my computer but did have to close down Safari and empty the trash after deleting the offending plugins for it to work.
Thanks so much for your quick reply!
There are many wonderful things about Apple, but weird things happening after updating software is one of the most frustrating things I've experienced over the years!

Older PDF documents are not opening in .msg (outlook) format

Hi,
I’m using adobe reader 11 and outlook 2010. I converted all emails that need to be transferred to PDF and then ‘delete’ the original emails from Outlook. It converts to pdf (so one pdf file can have 230 emails in them). we then open the pdf which contains all emails. Some emails have attachments. I can open the attachments which are word, excel, pdf BUT NOT emails (.msg). I just need to be able to open the ‘.msg’ from pdf attachments. It used to allow me to open before. Its showing “Can’t read” in outlook when I click the .msg attachment from PDF. Then I uninstalled the PDF reader 11 and installed 9.5 version. Now it’s showing “you don’t have appropriate permission to perform this operation” in outlook.
Please advise me to recover these files.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume you have two pdf files and they have different contents.
Let’s say 1.pdf and 2.pdf.
Please try to check it as following:
1.
Upload 1.pdf to SharePoint site
2.
Delete 1.pdf in local
3.
Change the name of 2.pdf to 1.pdf
4.
Upload 1.pdf to SharePoint site
5.
And then could you get the two version of this document with different contents?
Please let me know the result.
Hope this helps
Thanks!

PDF's do not open in Firefox windows

Hi,
I am running FF v.28 and have not been able to open up PDF's in a very long time. In fact I don't remember the last time this worked properly. When clicking on a PDF link, the page either opens up blank or nothing happens. I can view PDF's in that other browser without problems. I have tried "various" fixes found on the net but still nothing. I will try removing FF and reinstalling as a last resort. Otherwise I am at my wits end.
Thank you.

A few things:
(1) Your "More System Details" shows two different Adobe PDF plugins (10 series and 11 series). You might need to disable one of those.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Adobe Acrobat" and set one of them to "Never Activate".
(2) Try changing your viewer.
The settings file that stores actions for files Firefox can't display on its own sometimes gets corrupted, and switching the setting a couple times in the Options dialog can help straighten it out.
This article describes how to access the PDF setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
Any luck?

PDF documents are not opening What Can I do Please send a solution

Dear Sir/Mam, I am student from India. Most of the Educational Website posting their material PDF format. While using your browser I could not able to read it. The Error message was showing as follows;
Could not launch Adobe reader What can I do. But the same material opened in Internet Explore browser.

Thanks for answering.
I myself do not know what a police incorporated means.
When I download my pdf file on the Lulu.com site (an automatic publishing service), I am answered that my document cannot be published because the police Times is not incorporated. Lulu.com is offerin a tool to be downladed (lulu Job options) that you are supposed to put into Adobe and the problem will be solved.It is not. Do you know if this can be done with my free verson Adobe reader XI or do I need to use the Pro version (to be purchased)
