PDF files which stored in document library cannot be opened directly via Adobe Reader

When I open PDF files(Clicking on the "..." ellipsis actions menu and then selecting "Open") that are stored in the library of SharePoint2013 , it caused "An error occurred on the server ". However, in the Search
Center , I can open the same file from the search results. In search result, the action menu is not "Open", but "Edit ".
< Environment configuration >
I has developed a single server of OfficeWeb application server farm using HTTP.
I am creating a OfficeWebAppsServer farm with the following command :
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm-InternalURL "URL"-AllowHttp-EditingEnabled
Client PC: Adoce Reader version 9.3.4 (update to the latest version 11 is failed too.)
PS: I use SharePoint server 2013 standard version.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that when open pdf files in library, you got the following error ”
An error occurred on the server”.
Did you install the following hotfix package on your SharePoint 2013 servers:
Description of the SharePoint Server 2013 hotfix package (Sts-x-none.msp): October 8, 2013.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2825665
You can install the above hotfix, then check whether it works.
There are some articles for your reference.

  • Getting an error while copying pdf file into RMS enabled document library using copyTo() method

    In SharePoint 2010, I am trying to copy pdf file programmatically from a non-RMS protected document library into RMS protected library using copyTo() method.
    But I am getting an error while doing so. it gives error as mentioned below -
    This library does not accept files of the given type. You must either upload a

    that was previously downloaded from this library.
    Please suggest some solution.

  • Can't open pdf files in Safari browser windows (bank website window) after I installed Adobe Reader 11update on my Mac last night

    I previously had Adobe Reader 9, which worked perfectly.

    Here's EXACTLY what happens:  I am in a Safari browser website and try to open a pdf file (my bank statement).  When I click on the link I get this message in a black window: "Adobe Reader.  Before viewing a PDF file in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."  So I launch Adobe Reader but there is no End User License Agreement to accept.  I have done this several times with no result.  I am using a MacBook Air with OS 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5.

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current edition of Adobe Reader, including the patch. When I open a PDF file, the screen is first grey, then viewable, but the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" comes up. How do I remedy this?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current edition of Adobe Reader (11.9), including the patch. When I open a PDF file, the screen is first grey, then viewable, but then the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" comes up. How do I remedy this?

    RR,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
    http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
    and another similar website,
    http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
    As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
    Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

    Failing a full recovery, hopefully you have one or more earlier versions and/or bits of artwork saved before it happened.

  • How to save a PDF File if you create it in lifecycle and view it in adobe reader 9.

    I am having a issue with a file that I created in Adobe lifecycle and then tried to fill out the form in adobe reader 9.
    Here is the big issue I can fill out the form but can not save the information that I put in the form. It will only allow me to save a blank copy of the form. It tells me that in order to keep the information I must fill the form out and print a copy. How do I change the setting on the Life cycle version in order to allow people to keep a electronic copy of the PDF if they olny have adobe reader 9? I anyone know how to get that done please let me know.
    Here is what software I have:
    Adobe pro 9
    Adobe lifecycle designer ES 8.2
    Adobe reader 9
    Adobe distiller 9
    Adobe photo shop elements 3.0

    You might be way past this step but if you view it in adobe acrobat 8 or later

  • Can I embed a PDF file within a Pages document?

    I am working with Pages '09 and would like to embed a rather long PDF document file into my Pages text.  I want the reader to be able to click on the PDF file and have it open so that the reader can gather more information on the subject without making the actual Pages document text any longer.  I don't want the PDF file to be an external link that sends the reader away from the document -- I want to know if I can embed the PDF file WITHIN the pages document and have it open only when clicked.  I don't think I can do this.  Thanks.
    Small Town Gal.

    I found my answer within archived discussions - convert the file to a PDF and then embed the PDF file as an attachment.  Thanks.

  • How to directly print PDF file(which is stored in SAP) in ABAP report?

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?

  • Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

    Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update?  My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

    NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
    Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
    Select "Properties"
    Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
    Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
    That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

  • How do I re-sequence pages in a pdf file, which is in booklet format?

    I have a pdf file which is an A5 booklet in duplex for-printing order, with two A5 pages printed on one A4 area.  I want to re-sequence these pages to simple ascending page number order, for reading online.  How do I do it?
    The first A4 page of my pdf file consists of A5 page 1 on left and A5 page 48 on right, followed by the second A4 page consisting of A5 page 47 on left and A5 page 2 on right, and so on.  [I can print this out OK as a booklet, except that the second A4 page, etc. is upside down.]
    Do I need to take the crude, grunt approach and cut and paste each A5 page, one at a time, into a new document?  I am using Acrobat XI Pro

    You can reorder pages by dragging them to new positions in the Pages pane on the left.

  • Create PDF file which will write to mdb

    HI there.
    I have a requirement to add some code to a set of PDF files which will be read by members of my team as part of their induction.   Each pdf has a form at the end which captures their name and a tickbox to state that they have read the document.  When a submit button as part of the form is clicked I would like to write these basic details to an access mdb database so that we can keep a check of who is compliant with the induction process.
    Is it possible to use Livecycle designer to create a document which will do this when opened in Adobe Reader?  I don't need the code to do this - just need to know if it is possible.  If not are there any other ways I could save the information on the form silently without the user needing to do anything other than submit the information?
    I've read somewhere that for certain things to work you need to activate some kind of reader extensions - is that the case for this solution?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.
    Matt

    Hi Matt,
    Yes, if the user has the free Adobe Reader, then database access will require the form to be Reader Enabled in LC/ADEP Reader Extensions.
    While you can Reader Enable a form in Acrobat (with restrictions), connecting to a database is not permitted.
    See here for a summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
    Hope that helps,

  • How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up?  I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

    How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up?  I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

    Hi Rave,
    InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type.  I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document.  The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document.  That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do.  I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago.  I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
    Thanks,

  • I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."  What do I do?

    I am getting this response when I am trying to open a file: Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.”  What do I do?  I have opened this up in the past without a problem. 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page 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 "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    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.
