.pdf files not available on Blackboard

I am a college instructor, working on Blackboard 9.1. I have uploaded .pdf files to my course page, but when I attempt to view or download them, I'm told the plug-in is missing. I just re-installed Reader, and also have Acrobat Pro. Pdf's work fine in my browser on every other site but Blackboard. Nothing has changed on my computer since last semester, when everything was fine. I am on Safari 5.1, OS X 10.6.8, on a Macbook Pro.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Sounds like the issue is specific to Blackboard. Have you contacted their support? Probably not a lot of people around here familiar enough with that system to give much advice...

  • Merging multiple pdf files not available

    I want to merge multiple PDF files into one PDF file. I used to be able to do it under file>create pdf, but ever since my computer was re-built, that option is no longer under the file tab. Was this something extra that you had to pay for, or do I have to do something to get this add in. Thank you in advance

    Yeah you need one of the acrobat family. To be specific, Acrobat Standard, Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Extended
    They have 30 day trial on adobe.com.  But check first the system requirements so that it won't mess up your computer.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro PC with Windows 7 - error mess "Adobe PDF Printer - not available" Help?

    Just loaded my old Acrobat 7.0 Professional on new PC with Windows 7 - Error message "Adobe PDF Priner not available.  Therefore do not have option of Adobe printer when using Word.
    Any ideas as to what  - if anythjing I can do?

    Hi,
    Technically acrobat 7 not not designed for windows 7 OS. You can try to install the pdf printer manually but it's not guaranteed :
    Click the Windows "Start" menu, select "Control Panel," choose "Hardware and Sound," click the "Add a Printer" link under Devices and Printers.
    Click "Next" and select "Local Printer Attached to This Computer."
    Remove the check from "Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer" and click "Next."
    Select "My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)" in the port selection drop-down menu and click "Next."
    Select the "Have Disk" option and click the "Browse" button to open a dialog box.
    Select the "AdobePDF.inf" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under "Adobe" | "Acrobat 9.0" | "Acrobat" | "Xtras."
    Select the first item on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click "Next."
    Type "Adobe PDF" in the field for a printer name and click "Next."
    Wait for two minutes for the system to process the drivers and click "Finish" to close the Add a Printer wizard.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows 8 - Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available

    I have two new Dell touchscreen laptops with Windows 8 (not 8.1).
    I am unable to get the tile/app integrated browser to open PDF files.   Upon downloading a PDF it reports "Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available".
    I've gone to the app store from Microsoft, and downloaded the tile/app reader, and it reports being installed....but no joy.  I've gone to the Adobe site, and looked for and installed any/all Windows 8 viewers I can find, but it still doesn't work.
    I CAN view PDF files by clicking on the Windows key, clicking on the desktop, opening IE, then using the Adobe Reader 11 that was installed.  This seems so pointless, because the only way to view a PDF is to take about 4 extra clicks than I do in Ubuntu, Windows 7, or a Mac.
    What's up with this?

    Internet Explorer has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
    (a) The desktop version of IE supports plugins and accelerators.  This is the version that you launch from the Windows 8/RT desktop.
    (b) The Windows Store app version (with "Modern" or "Metro" UI) of IE is touch-optimized, full screen, and plugin free. This is the version that you launch by tapping/clicking the tile in the Start screen.
    See the Microsoft documentation titled Get ready for plug-in free browsing.
    "Starting with Windows 8, IE is one web platform that provides two browsing experiences: the new IE in the new Windows UI optimized for touch devices, and the traditional browsing experience of Internet Explorer for the desktop. As a Windows app, Internet Explorer runs without plug-ins so that you have a clean, fast, and secure web browsing experience, while also providing a native Adobe Flash player. "
    Similarly, Adobe Reader also has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
    (a) The desktop version is called Adobe Reader XI. It is a mature product that has been available in the market for the past 20 years and offers a rich set of features.  It supports in-browser viewing of PDFs by installing the browser plugin to the desktop version of IE.  However, the downsides of the desktop version are the incompatibility with the Windows RT operating system and security vulnerabilities. In general, the desktop version is less secure than the Windows Store app version.
    (b) The Windows Store app version is called Adobe Reader Touch.  It is a relatively new product that was introduced a year ago.  It does not support in-browser viewing of PDFs because of the security restrictions that are imposed on all Windows Store apps. It is compatible with both Windows 8 and RT operating systems. 
    Because the Windows Store app version of IE is designed to be plugin-free, no other desktop/Windows Store apps (hence, not even Adobe Reader XI) can install additional plugins (other than the Flash support that is built-in by default).
    If you want the in-browser PDF viewing support, you need to use the desktop version of IE and the desktop version of a PDF viewer like Adobe Reader XI.
    This is the application architecture decision that Microsoft has made deliberately. It's not a bug or oversight.
    Microsoft has the Windows Store app version of PDF viewer called "Reader".  It may be possible for Microsoft to add the in-browser PDF viewing support using Reader (just like Google Chrome does) in a future release of the Windows Store app version of IE.  But it did not happen in the newer version of the operating systems: Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1.
    If you have any feature requests/suggestions/questions regarding the Windows Store app version of IE, please visit the Microsoft forum instead.

  • PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

    Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
    it always open in browser
    I have already made following changes but didn,t work
    Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
    Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
    Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
    Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
    Installed Adober eader in client machine
    Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
    It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

    It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

    To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you.  The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

  • Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe  Reader

    Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
    The problem which i am facing is:-
    In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
    This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
    On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
    PDF will never show up in case of reader.
    I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
    I really need uregent help on this.
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • Legitimate newly purchased Premiere Elements-10 32-bit install files not available

    Friends:
    I purchased an $1100 Nikon camera and the deal included OEM PS Premiere Elements 10.
    Legit purchase with a CD and legit Serial #.
    Can't install because what is Adobe's fault, not the camera vendor's and certainly not mine.
    Adobe's own published notice:
    "The 64-bit version of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 only installs on Windows 7 64 bit. If you have Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit, it's necessary to install the 32-bit version. Because the Adobe Download Assistant automatically downloads the 64-bit version in error, it's necessary to download the 32-bit version manually through alternate means."
    The problem is that the same holds true for installing on XP Pro SP3 and Adobe makes no mention of it in the above admission.
    Then, Adobe's own Solutions 1, 2 & 3 for manual download all fail, even after fussing for days over it.
    Even Solution 3, the last ditch option, fails perhaps because Elements 11 is out and Adobe has killed the 10 download Ftp sites.
    Files I am unable to download from Adobe (without entrapment by so called Free Dowload sites) are:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.exe
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.7z
    How can I solve my dilemma, being denied my right to learn Elements from a legally purchased 10 and being
    forced to purchase 11 instead on top it. Fair?
    I am requesting Adobe politely to make it possible to download the Adobe recommended two files withou hassles.
    I must mention in this context my own  (and thousands of others') sad experience with Flash updates. Just follow
    my own (and others') posts in Adobe forums. Plus, just read the Internet posts along these lines:
    "It's impossible to download anything from Adobe. I have given up and I have given up on Adobe products."
    Not that I want to, but I am forced into echoing the same sentiment.
    Can anyone help, please ?
    Thanks,
    Pradip A.

    Hello Mr. Wright:
    The download now works. Appreciate your help.
    The ...7z file is 1.37 Gb long. I have super high speed Fibre Optic Internet connection with Bell. I rarely have the ocassion to download files of this size. After downloading more than 1 Gb, the transfer hung - either at the Client end, or at the Server end. Bell is sending tech Thursday to mitigate some line noise they detected. Hopefully, the stars will fall into the right place before long.
