Pdf file won't be read out in Adobe Reader

Having tried unsuccessfully to get Reader Version 9 (with Read It Aloud plugin present and correct) to read a particular PDF file, I'm thinking that perhaps the problem is with the document properties...but in File>Document properties there is nothing obviously relating to speech.
Interestingly, the text in the document won't let itself be selected and copied either, which seems odd, and quite possibly related.
Any suggestions?
cheers

  • I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

    I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

    Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:
    http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
    The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].

  • Why can't I open PDF files on my iMac. I installed Adobe Reader and accepted the end user license, as instructed then quit the application and relaunched it and I still can't view the PDF document. The screen comes out black. Please advice. Thanks

    Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

  • How do I open a PDF file in my browser instead of in Adobe Reader?

    Windows XP SP3
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3
    SeaMonkey 2.19 (which has the same internal "guts" as Firefox 22)
    It used to be that, if I selected a link to a PDF file from a Web page, the file would open in my browser.  Now, it opens in an Adobe Reader window.  How do I restore the opening in my browser. 
    I have tried following http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them?s=Vie w+PDFs+in+browser&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_using-a-pdf-reader-plugin without success.  I noticed during those attempts that, if I go to [Edit - Preferences] on the Adobe Reader menu bar and then select Internet under Categories, the "Display PDF in browser" check box no longer exists.  

    Aha!  The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat.  This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list. 
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37:  nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37.  This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder. 
    Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218:  nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50. 
    As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat.  Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current.  Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying  upgrades or newer versions. 

  • Want to add by code a short cut of a pdf file to an rtb in vb6, using adobe reader 9

    Using vb6 code, I add a pdf file from a list to a richtextbox.
    On versions 5 & 6 a "short cut" is placed in the rtb which is what I want so that the document can be double-clicked to view at a later date.
    On versions 8 & 9 the file opens automatically "within" the rtb.
    Can I make version 9 work the same as earlier versions.
    Thanks

    We have PDF documents stored on server-side, the ActiveX control and Adobe Reader are installed on client-side.
    When users open our web page, click our "Print weekly report directly" button, the ActiveX control on client will be called, and perform the above coding. It tries to download the PDF document from server to client, and pass it to the printer on client silently by using FilePrintSilent function.
    The report can be printed, but not correct. It involves some unexpected characters which should be English or Traditional Chinese originally, as shown in the attached picture.
    Thanks in advance!

  • The memory for each PDF file does not add up to the Adobe Reader App size

  • Pdf files viewable in ibooks but not in adobe reader?

    I can open and view pdf files in ibooks but i downloaded adobe reader and they arent even showing up. The file is a text book and is too big to email myself. any suggestions?

    Adobe recommends against have different versions of the same application installed at the same time. They also discourage having Reader and Acorbat installed at the same time. I would install version 6 and repair or reinstall version 9.

  • Can't print or save PDF files to hard drive after upgrading to Adobe Reader 10.1.3

    I upgraded to Adobe Reader 10.1.3 on my Mac with OS X 10.7.3. I can open PDF files on Internet, but can neither print them nor save them to my hard drive.

    I had the same problem and stumbled by accident on an odd way how to save the PDF file.
    After the PDF file is visible, press the key escape  “esc”. A new toolbar above the PDF file will appear. Press the “disc” icon next to the “printer” icon. A window drops down, and now you can save the PDF file in your download folder.

  • How do i read pdf files on mac air, i have downloaded adobe reader and not working

    How do I read any files in pdf format? I have downloaded adobe reader yet have not been able to open pdf files?

    If you can't view PDF files in Safari, take these steps.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Have Acrobat 5.0 AND Reader 8.1 installed.  Internet PDF files won't open. Uses 5.0 ?!

    How can I make sure that whenever I try to open a PDF file on the Internet the default application is Reader 8.1? The Acrobat 5.0 is old (I know), but I use it to create PDFs, but I want it to ignore the old 5.0 reader and use the new 8.1 reader. Any ideas?

    Graffiti, thank you for responding. I reinstalled 8.1 and then opened it BEFORE trying to open a PDF file and now it works. Thanks so much for your advice. REALLY appreciate it! Best - SpringTulips
