PDF files are not viewable on my Mac 10.5.8 with Firefox 6.0.2

I cannot view PDF files in Firefox. There doesn't seem to be a plug-in I can download. Oftentimes, PDF links prompt a download, and I am able to view them in my PDF viewer on my computer. But most often, PDF links do not even prompt a download, nor are they viewable in my browser. Thus, I cannot view them at all in Firefox. I have to open a different browser, such as Google Chrome to view the pdf. I don't understand why no one has developed a plug-in to view PDFs in the new Firefox. How can I fix this problem? Would you recommend I install an earlier version of Firefox to fix this problem? Please help. Thank you.

Brandon, I am not trying to access thru Safari, I just mention so people know what is running in my comp in case its helpful.
You are about the location on the Dock, always been there and I always access it from there, but now when I try to access it I got this message:
iTunes requires QuickTime 7.5.5 or later. For more information on upgrading your computer, visit http://www.apple.com/quicktime.
Well I did downloaded it, but when I check the Quick Time Player version on my comp says: Version 7.4.1 (14) not the downloaded one and I still not able to access my iTunes.

PDF files are not opening in IE!!!

Some PDF files are not displayed while opening in browser IE . The PDF files are generated through servlets (JWS 2.1). While analysing the problem we have found that the one request invokes the doget() method of the servelet more than once. This problem is not appearing in netscape.
Please give suggestions.

I am having the same sort of problem. I have a form posting to a servlet that displays a pdf based on the vars posted to it. My doPost() calls doGet(). When I post to the the servlet the doPost() is called and then it calls the doGet() and then SOMETHING else calls the doGet() again. Since the vars that I am using to load the pdf are posted they are out of scope for the second doGet(). I tried two things to fix this:
I changed my doPost() method to do nothing but check the request variables and hold on to them. Then I changed my doGet() to use the values that I held instead of the request vars. This only worked sometimes.
Then when I rolled all of my code back and changed my form from POST to GET everything worked fine. It seems that there is something that causes the browser to always call the GET when you are using application/pdf. If my doPost() calls my doGet() everything is lost on the second doGet()

Some PDF files are not displayed in Bridge

Hello,
here is the problem: I use Adobe Bridge CS2 to browse my large collection of PDF files, and unfortunately some files are not displayed in the Filmstrip View mode; instead a generic icon is shown (bridge1.png). Most PDF files, however, are displayed correctly (bridge2.png). Is this the problem of Bridge or of certain PDF files, and how should I fix them to make them being displayed by Bridge?
Thanks.

curt y
In fact, all files have similar type of content (research papers). However, I found out that all files which are not displayed are "protected" by the publisher such that they only can be viewed and printed, but not modified or disassembled. Apparently, this causes the problem with Bridge not displaying them. It's a pity that Bridge cannot handle them...
Thanks for the help, though.

PDf files are not directly coming in search results, rather coming as a list item \

I have shared search from one farm and 2 other farms are consuming it. PDF search is working fine for one consuming farm but for the hosting farm and the other consuming farm it is showing the result as list item but not as a direct link to the document.
Any suggestion pls
When the other consuming farm uses the own dedicated search service then pdf files are coming in search result but when it is pointing to the shared proxy it is not working. But for one consuming farm it is working fine.

Hi ,
Whether you crawled the same content source using the Shared Search service application. If not, please crawl a same content, test again and compare the result.
In addition, whether you configured PDF correctly for the Shared Search, please try to configure it again as the link:

PDF files are not displayed

Firefox does not display PDF files. I did not have this problem before and tried just about everything that has been mentioned under help and in the forum - including a complete and clean reinstallation. So far NOTHING seem to have any effect. For a while it says in the lower left corner "transfering data" (or something like that), but then is says "Done" and all I get is a blank screen.

Hi,
The problem I have with displaying PDF files is still the same: as soon as they are locked against editing (NOT password protected against opening) files cannot be viewed on Creative Cloud.
I just downloaded one of the files to my computer and e-mailed it to myself: GMail can view it without any problem. It's a bit strange that Google can do something Creative Cloud can't.
And its REALLY annoying that some PDF files just can't be viewed in Creative Cloud
Thanks for your help!

PDF files are not displayed. Why?

Most of the PDF files I uploaded are not displayed on Creative Cloud. Some I can view page by page, but most are only displayed as generic PDF icon.They are not very complex or difficult files - What is the problem? My InDesign files are displayed nicely. Even GMail displays the PDF files without a problem.
Any suggestions?

Reader will not read my pdf files. after an automatic update the pdf files are not accessable.

adobe automatic update to XI caused the reader of my pdf files to stop working. The reader tries to open -- the adobe reader window opens for a few seconds, nothing in the window is activated -- then the window automatically closes.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled previous versions that used to work but the reader 9 and X now do the same thing. open, unactivated window after a few seconds the program then shuts down.
I cannot open and read any pdf file on this computer.
There are no error messages and everything seems normal. The program does not work properly.
I have ran the windows diagnostic tools to no avail.
This computer operates windows 7

See if you can open the EULA.exe file in the folder that contains the install of Reader or Acrobat.

.Mov files are not playing on my Mac BookPro

As of this week, I am unable to play my .mov files through Quick Time on my Mac Book Pro. A small windo appears and states that sometype of conversion is occurring and eventually some of my movie files will play.
I am at work creating a .mov file through quick time and the file will not play.

That's a well documented limitation of JavaFX. Mov files are simply not supported.

You should vote for the corresponding JIRA entries.
Maybe it helps.

PDF files are not opening even i have latest reader and re-installed firefox

I am able to open in IE and Chrome but in FF it always shows that not able to open - the reader plug-in starts, open a blank window with caption "PDF might not be displayed properly" when downloaded, it opens fine with Adobe Reader.

hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

My pdf files are not converting

I have tried to convert my pdf files using my newly aquired and paid for Adobe Exportpdf but the 'converted' files are still in pdf.

Hi Tony,
The ExportPDF service doesn't output PDF. Could you elaborate on what you're experieincing?

Pdf files are not attaching correctly to emails. I have tried the reset firefox option but this has not worked.

I use comcast for my email. I have attached scanned doc in pdf many times successfully. Now attachments will not display, when I check the attachment all I get is a blank page with the note the pdf docs may not display correctly

Firefox 19 changed your default viewer for PDFs to the built-in viewer. Maybe it can't handle the scan due to size or other reasons?
To change your PDF handler to the Adobe Acrobat plugin or an external application, you can update one of your application preferences. There is now a support article on this: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
Any luck?

Why some PDF files are not imported into my iPod?

Hi, Yesterday, I added a new book to iTune and syn my iPod. After the syn, I found that only about 50% of the books on iTune showed up on the iPod. Can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to fix this problem so that all books can be imported?

Waht was the source of the books that did not sync?
Are they really pdfs w/o DRM?

.Mov files are "not supported" on my mac?

After I updated the software on my Mac, my Mac stopped playing newly downloaded .mov files. it says format not supported (this is on quicktime) when I click tell me more it doesn't give me anything that fixes the problem. help?

One more test. Add this last modified meta tag to your page in code view, right below your <title> </title> tags.
<meta http-equiv="Last-Modified" content="13 September, 2009 at 21:13:24" />
Upload to server. Refresh browser. Can you see the new page now?
If not, contact your host. Your site may be up, but on some of the cheaper web hosting accounts (not saying yours is cheap BTW b/c I don't know anything about them), servers don't reflect updates right away. Also, make sure you haven't run out of server space and you're uploading to the correct folder?
