PDF file hangs in Windows 8

Why does a PDF file open just fine in Chrome and Windows XP but does not in IE and Windows 8??

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN.
It seems that this is not the proper forum for this issue, since it is related to third-party.
I found a similar thread in the forums of Adobe
Adobe Community: Acrobat Reader 9.1 ActiveX control problems which shows that :
As for "HRESULT E_FAIL" message, all that was wrong was the "Display PDF in browser" option in
Adobe Reader preferences. It needs to be ticked. A bit weird but considering
that it uses the same OCX in a web browser, it makes some sense."
It seems that installing Reader 9.1 on my development machine and compiling a
new version of the application fixes the problem (at least the second one).
If still no helping, you could post this issue in the forum of that publisher to get dedicated support.
Thanks for your understanding.
Regards.

  • Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage

    Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage, but then I don't see it when I open my account. What is strange is that when I try again to save the file, system ask me to change the file name or over write current file. But file not present in my drive. Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi jeffjn,
    Please log out of your account, clear the cache, and then log back in. If that doesn't work, please log in using a different web browser. (See System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported web browsers.)
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Mailed PDF files arrive on Windows platform as corrupt Windows Media files

    Recently I mailed some .pdf files to 3 of the Windows machines on our network. Each of them reported that when attempting to open the .pdf file on the Windows machine, their system tried to use Windows Media instead of Adobe Reader. Of course they received an error message. When they saved the .pdf files on their machines, the files opened correctly in Adobe Reader.
    These are files that I downloaded from the State of Oregon. After we had problems there, I mailed them some of the .pdf files I had created. Same results. The Windows machine treats them as corrupt Windows Media files.
    I am the only Mac in our company. Of course the problem must be mine!?!
    I am using MS Entourage as my mail client.
    Suggestions? Comments? Answers?
    Thanks!!

    Kappy,
    No problem! Your suggestions were what made me consider the extension option in Entourage's preferences. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
    Your suggestion also prompted me to try the same thing using Mail. Mail worked just fine, so the problem is in how Entourage handles the .pdf file being sent to a Windows computer where it will be opened either in Outlook or Internet Explorer.
    It seems that Somewhere along the line, the .pdf extension is being changed to a .png extension which triggers the launch of Windows Media Browser.
    I just rebuilt the Entourage database and I'll see what happens now.

    NO, I'm not storing that file in Blob. i'm not storing it in database. i'm just transfering it from client location to server location . That's it.
    But i'm storing both the path from where i picked the file and where i uploaded. That's client path in PT_FILE_PATH field and server path in PT_FILE_SERVER_PATH.
    now i want to get that file from server location and show it only on Browser.. Not storing in database, justing putiing in folder at server location.
    thanks

  • Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Using Adobe 11 reader, now comes up with an error, once file is opened. 'Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader will quit. Closes the program so cannot view PDF files. Running windows 7. I have uninstalled and re-installed Adobe still the same. HELP

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

  • Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

    My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

    Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview?  Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

  • Open pdf file in separate window?

    I'm not seeing option to open a link to pdf file in separate window. Is it possible? On this page I would like visitors to be able to open the pdf while continuing to listen to the audio file that's associated with it (audio clips towards bottom of page)
    http://www.imaginerecoveryonline.com/IMAGINERECOVERYONLINE.COM/THE_JOURNEY_1.htm l
    Thanks

    Okay, so where are you publishing your site to - MobileMe or an external server such as GoDaddy?
    If to GoDaddy, then to upload directly to the server, as I explained in my previous post, then you would need to use Cyberduck and upload your pdf file to your public_html file or whichever file you need to upload to - it could also be 'www', or 'htdocs'.  Upload your pdf file here and then go back to iWeb and create the link to your pdf file by linking to it directly on the server - don't hyperlink to a file, but to your external server, which will be http://www.domain.com/name of your pdf file.pdf.  This is all you need do and then select open in a new page and your link to your document has been created.
    If publishing to MobileMe, then you need to upload the pdf file directly to your iDisk.  You would then make the link to the url http://web.me.com/username/sitename/name of pdf file.pdf and select to open in a new page.
    That is what is meant by uploading to a server and you then have to create the link directly to where your file has been uploaded to and not the file itself.  You need to enter the external url which will be your domain name or your MobileMe url, plus the username and site name.

  • Can I save acrobat cloud PDF files back to windows phone 8.1?

    I've backed up my (sandboxed) PDF files from Acrobat Reader on my Windows Phone 8.1 to Acrobat.com (Cloud).
    How Can I restore (save) them back to the phone?
    I understand I can view them in/from the cloud but how to get them back on the phone locally?
    -It sure would be nice to be able to copy them to the Office Hub as well.
    Seems Acrobat Reader (Windows Phone 8.1 app) allows download from OneDrive but not upload/ back-up to OneDrive, why?
    Why is the no option / context menu item allowing "save to phone" when tap/hold on cloud stored file, or while viewing the file itself.
    I see no option to download to phone.
    Seems the only work-around I can think of is to NOT use the Windows Phone Acrobat Reader App; but instead log into Acrobat.com (using the phones browser)
    and download the file(s) that way.

    Hi gtesuji,
    You may log on The Most Reliable Tool to Convert PDF to Word or Excel | Adobe ExportPDF and login with your Adobe id and password. Go to file section.
    Then you can download files back to phone memory.

  • Linking button to PDF file with published Windows Executable

    Hello all,
    I've been using Captivate 1 for years. I have always linked
    buttons to PDF files. The only thing I really ever had to remember
    was to take away the local directory address so where as only the
    filename was left. When I burned to CD I would just leave
    everything top-level.
    Well, for some reason now Captivate won't launch my pdf file
    (and yes I put the ".pdf"). It launches my web browser looking for
    a web address. Here's what I do. I create a new text or image
    button, next I select "open url or file". Finally I select the file
    through the browse window. I immediately take off the local
    directory before the filename because everything is located
    top-level on the CD's I produce.
    Please help, anyone. BTW I am experiencing the same thing on
    Captivate 2. I'm afraid I'm doing something silly wrong since it's
    been awhile. Thanks in advance .

    Hi Charles,
    Does by any chance you have upgraded your Flash Player
    recently? Flash Player 8 and above have restriction on not
    accessing the local files directly?
    thanks

  • I don't see thumbnails for PDF files in my Windows Explorer

    Hi,
    When browsing through my File Manager to look for files, I used to be able to see a thumbnail of any PDF files I'd saved.
    I can still see the old ones created earlier, but my more recent files just show a black square with the Adobe 'A' in bottom right hand corner or sometimes a large Adobe 'A' on white field with "PDF" in top left corner.
    Seeing a thumbnail I think helps to find your file. Does anyone know why I don't get them any more or how to get them back. (The save a thumbnail option is checked for normal word docs, but not visible when saving as PDF.
    I am using Mic Office 2010 (Word) to save as PDF. My computer is Windows 7 64bit.
    Interesting, I can see a preview of PDF files which is a help, but not individual thumbnails for my more recent files....can still see them for older, longer ago saved PDFs.
    Added info:
    Just checked, I last had thumbnails in December 2011, January 2012 I stopped getting them.
    Tried to insert a picture to show you what I get in explorer, but just get a big dark grey square so I'll explain. Just worked out the following.
    Prior to end of 2011 my PDFs have a thumbnail.
    After that I just have a black square with the Adobe 'A' in bottom right hand corner if I create PDF with Word
    If I do 'Save As' while in the reader I get a large Adobe 'A' on white field with "PDF" in top left corner

    NO, NOT THAT SIMPLE, now I find some normal thumbnails later in 2012, so the behaviour is changeable!!!!!
