PDF files smaller than 8K will not open in IE 6.0

Hi,
I am using Adobe reader 8.1.3 and IE 6.0.0.
I have an unusual situation where only pdf files LARGER than 8k will open in the browser. Anything small than 8k will not.
This seems to be an issue with pdf files only as I am able to open other file types that are less than 8k with no problems.
All of the files reside on a server and are accessible via a web page.
If I login to the hosting server directly I am able to open them just fine regardless of the file size.
I need this to work in IE as that is the only browser that is supported. DOD site.
Any thoughts or suggestions as how to resolve the problem.
Thanks.

  • We have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions

    we have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    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.
    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.

  • ? Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will.

    Some pdf files from the web will not open, some will. I am using Adobe Reader 10.0.1 on an 8-year old puter I have just upgraded to 2G of RAM. It worked fine before with 256K. When a file won't open I get error message "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (103:103). Have uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe products several times. Ideas?

    Good luck with that. Adobe10.0.1 is a bug infested BAD program. Look at the posts relating to this issue for the last 3 days. Many, many problems. Support is no help.

  • Hyperlinks to PDF files with Excel XP will not open on Acrobat

    Hi all;
    I am having an issue with Acrobat Reader X.
    I am using Windows 7 x64 Pro, with Acrobat Reader X, and MS Office XP and try as I might, I cannot create an Hyperlink to a PDF document.  Excel says that "there is no program registered to open this file" and I have done pretty much everything I've seen on the net, including removing / reinstalling both programs, making sure it is registered in Regedit as the program to open this kind of files, repairing both programs through the control panel, I have also followed Microsoft advice on how to unregister/register a program to no avail, and a few others I cannot remember right now.  I have recreated the same environnement in another computer, and it runs fine.
    Does anyone has any idea what else I could try?  Or, hopefully, an answer to the problem because you've already gotten it before and were able to fix it?
    I thank you in advance for your kind help !
    Nabil,

  • I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it.  What can I do?

    I just bought and downloaded an embroidery file but Adobe Reader will not open it. What can I do?

    Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
    You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
    Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
    Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
    More info is better.

  • I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.  The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files.  These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera.  How do I fix this?

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.
    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.
    In Photoshop, click Help > Updates to update Camera Raw.

  • PDF files from Reader-X do not open in Photoshop

    Now that I updated my Adober reader -x I can not open the PDF files I save in my Photoshop-2 program. Any thoughts. . . . other than upgrading Photoshop? Is it possible to reload the former version of Adobe reader in lieu of the reader-X?

    You can still download Reader 9.5 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    The 9.5.1 update is available from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5353
    Note that you must uninstall Reader X before you can install an older version.

  • PDF file generated through PDFWriter does not open

    i generate a pdf file using itext "itext-1.4.6.jar". this file opens in Acrobat reader 5,6,7. But i can not open it in Acrobat Reader 8.
    Plz tell me if there is some special reason associated with itext or Acrobat Reader.

    1) This is not an iText support board.

  • Opening pdf files in preview,mine will only open in colorsync utility. help

    My macbook operating on Mac os 10.5.6 when opening pdf files it will only open them with colorsync utility and I can't alter the files (rotate/zoom etc) like I can when I can open it with Preview on my iMac desktop... I don't seem to have preview on my macbook. Is there anywhere I can download it from or somehow transfer it from my iMac to my macbook?? Maybe I just can't find it properly?? Help!

    do a spotlight search for Preview. can you find it? it should be in the main Applications folder at the top level of the hard drive. if you can't find it you can reinstall it from the leopard install DVD using Pacifist

  • Downloaded PDF file on front end is not opening

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to open the Master Data Governance documents (which are stored as RAWSTRING in a DB table)
    from an ALV on double click.
    We are downloading the binary content(converting XSTRING to BINARY) as a file with appropriate extension onto the front end temp directory using GUI_DOWNLOAD of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and opening the file using method EXECUTE of the same class.
    Everything is fine and documents are opening in their respective editors, expcept that a few PDF documents are not getting opened properly after downloading. Happened with an excel attachment as well.
    The message "Adobe Reader could not open 'XXXXX.PDF' because it is either not a supported file type or....." appears.
    Please let us know the way ahead on this issue.
    We have gone through the previous SDN forums, but we did not get anything which fixes this issue.
    Thanks,
    Sampath.

    Could you post the non-working code?
    Posting the rawstring may also help.

    I recently downloaded acrobat reader dc. After download was complete, I could not open PDF files. Error read "Adobe acrobat reader DC could not open this file because its either not a supported file or the file has been damaged". Any suggestions?

    HI davidd92392148,
    Is this error occurring for all PDF files that you try to open? There is an issue where all file icons can change to the PDF icon after installation, so is it possible that the files you're trying to open have been affected by this issue (and aren't actually PDF files)? Please see Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon.
    If that document isn't the key, then please tell us more about these files. Where are they stored? Did they open in previous versions of Reader?
    Best,
    Sara

  • Recently switched to Firefox. WMV files in Outlook Express will not open. Message: NEED CODEX.

    "CODEX acquired" appears in lower left of screen, but file does not open. I think it did work before , when I use Internet Explorer.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
