Pdf files don't open in Chrome after Yosemite upgrade

Trying to open a pdf or a ppt attachments on latest Chrome after the Yosemite upgrade, nothing happens. Please share your experience or a suggessted fix or a work around. I am using a macbook white early 2009

I am not one to recommend reinstall, but that might be required. One of the problems with CC is that it leaves some info in the system that makes it think it is installed, even after you uninstall it. There is a fix for that, but I don't remember it (right now I am not remembering much with pneumonia). If you decide to uninstall, you should go through the uninstall process (there may be a special uninstall for CC that I have not seen). Then run Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs. Remove any leftover part of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. It may reinstall or you might run into that other fix that is needed. In that case you will have to search the forum.

.pdf files don't open after having download the creative cloud because of a previous trial version

Dear,
I used a trial version of acrobat pro for a month. After the trial I downloaded the creative cloud to enjoy all the programs.
The creative cloud is well installed on my computer but now every time I try to open a .pdf document it refers to the trial saying that it is over and that I should subscribe, but I did!
I am kind of desperate, I can't open .pdf files.
Can anyhow help?
Thank you!
Lionel

Video files won't open on iPhotos after library upgrade

I tried accessing my iPhoto library today on my iMac, and received this message "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto". I selected the "Upgrade" version accordingly. At the same time, I also did an update on iphoto to version 9.5.1.
After these upgrades were completed, I attempted to access my albums in iphoto. Everything looked fine, except that I can no longer view any videos! When I try to view a video, this error message appears: "A necessary data reference could not be resolved" and the screen is just blank. What do I do? This is really upsetting because I have videos of events and people important to me who have passed away

Hi Terence, thank you for your response. The problem is that when I go back to Time Machine, I am unable to even restore to an earlier version.
When I attempt to open my video files and receive the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved", I went to "File" - "Reveal in Finder" - "Original File", but then received the message "QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_1929.MOV".
Is this a virus or bug that subsequent updates will fix, or are my videos lost forever?
Thank you.

Did you use the iPhoto Library Upgrader to fix your iPhoto Library? Have you upgraded iPhoto to the latest version for use with Yosemite?

PDF files won't open for recipient after sending via iCloud

Most of the time when I send a PDF to someone they either have loading issues when trying to open my email or they simply cannot view my PDF. Usually the message in the body isn't even present. When I send the same email to myself on iCloud I can view it in iCloud.com or my iPhone. This seems to happen when the receiver is using Thunderbird, Outlook, and others. This is a serious inconvenience for a paid service. I have to send all emails that include PDFs through my work email address which I would rather not do. I tried turning on Unicode but that didn't help. Don't know what else to try.

iCloud is so buggy when it comes to this. This is just my opinion and I know it will not help your current problem. It would be in your interest to use gmail as your primary email account. I see iCloud email service as a makeshift tack-on addition by Apple to their syncing services. It wasn't made to be an email client and doesn't function properly as such. Use Gmail. People may disagree, but this is just my input. I hope another community member may have a definitive answer to your problem.

Iphoto wont open or update after Yosemite upgrade

Hi there,
I have seen questions like this but not exactly this before.
After backing my early 2011 Macbook pro 13" to my 'my passport' I installed Yosemite about a week ago.
Now iPhoto will not open. There is no error message, just nothing happens. The icon doesn't bounce in the dock.
I then noticed that there was an iPhoto and iMovie update available and I thought this might be the remedy, so clicked on 'update' in the App Store. They will not update either. No error message just either 'paused' or 'waiting' status for over 2 hours, but nothing happens and the buttons are greyed out.
I have closed all apps and rebooted and tried again but the same thing happens. Most of the time the buttons are greyed out.
Any advice? Do I have to reinstall Yosemite or iphoto?
If I have backed up my system, are my photos safe?
Any help or info gratefully received.
Thank you.

If you have backed uo your system then your photos should be safe. But we can't say with absolute certainty as we don't know the back up settings you chose.
Here's what will work with certainty:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Try reinstall iPhoto on your Mac - just the app not the Library.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

PDF file won't open after saving it from the web. get error message file is damaged.

My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web. I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion?

I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ).

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]].

Pdf files will not open

Hi,
I have viewed through this forum and did not find a problem with similar symptoms.
I upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Reader 9 and then the .pdf files will not open.
Actions and Observations/Symptoms:
1) After I clicked onto the pdf document icon - nothing happens.
2) I right click onto the pdf icon and chose "open with Adobe 9" and get the same response. Nothing happens.
3) I go to the the start menu - select Adobe Reader 9 - and the program does not even open.
=======
I have since removed Reader 9 and re-installed Reader 8. I tried the above actions and got the same behaviour. Not a whole lot happens. It seems like something is broken after the first initial upgrade.
In fact - I went to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader and
tried to open Reader by double clicking onto "AcroRd32.exe" and there was no response.
I'm completely lost! Can anyone share a fix to my problem?
Thanks,
Mike
Some hardware & OS background info: Toshiba Laptop - 1.58 Ghz, 3GB RAM - M/S Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3

I can't explain the cause to the problem - but I found two "work-arounds" to get me running again.
Workaround #1:
I found another program (and there are many) on the web that will also read .pdf files. I downloaded "Foxit Reader" , installed it and it works. I can now view my pdf docs!
However - I got so used to Adobe Reader - I really wanted to get Reader working again.
Workaround #2:
I re-installed Adobe Reader 8.
Instead of running the usual Adobe installation script that I got from the web, I copied (from another PC's C-drive) the "Reader 8.0" folder and all its contents into my current C- drive directory structure C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
I re-booted the PC and can now open my pdf files using Reader 8.
It seems to work - but I don't know what the effects of this installation method will have in the future - or the interaction it will have with other programs. I guess when I need to remove the program in the future - I'll have to do it manually, since it doesn't even register in the "Add or Remove Programs" under Control Panel.
===============
Hope this helps out anyone else with similar symptoms.
In the original problem, it's unfortunate that there were no error messages whatsoever when I tried opening the pdf files. It was like as if Reader was not even activated or even loaded on my PC. I'll bug me for a while - but at least I got Reader working again (for now....)!

Links in PDF files will be opened in a new browser window?

Hi all,
I'm opening PDF files in a browser. I'd really like links in PDF files will be opened in a new window as html. My browsers was configured to allow opening new pages in a new window (FireFox: Tools\Options\Tabs\ New pages should be opened in: New window ;IE 7: Tools\Internet Options\Tabs Settings\Open links from another programs in: A new window)
Please tell me any additional step I have to done
Thanks much

Thank you Bob! We will try out tests again today.

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

Pdf files will not open upon downloading

I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them. Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download. Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences. Any other thoughts? A solution would be most helpful. (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

Doesn't make much sense to me. Methinks details are needed.

Will going from Reader 3.1 to 5 cause loss of any files stored as PDF files done with 3.1?

Presently use Firefox Reader v. 3.1.4. Many files on my desk computer, operating on XP Pro, are stored in PDF files done with the 3.1.4 version. If I up date to the new 5.0 will these old files still open? Or will they be lost?
Worse case if FireFox Reader was to be removed from my computer what happens to these older files that were saved using Firefox Reader 3.1.4?
I am not experiencing any problems now, but the above questions are a concern, especially as this old computer continues to age.
Thanks very much,

Hi, thanks for the very quick reply, although it doesn't really answer my question. As for not finding a Fire Fox Reader vr. 5 you should go to this link.
http://download.cnet.com/Foxit-Reader/3000-10743_4-10313206.html
I'd appreciate any comments you have about this PDF reader in regard to my original question.
It all could be a mute point, mush like changing versions of Adobe, nothing seems to be lost or changed in the saved pdf files when changing versions in Adobe. Possibly Fire Fox 5 operates the same.
