PDF link not opening in IE 6.0 in Portal

Hi !
I have made an URL iView to display a PDF file placed on the Portal Server. I have attached this iView in the Related Links section of the page.
Now when i click the link, a new page opens and just closes abruptly. But if i give a word file link in the same iView then it opens perfectly well.
Does it have to do with some ActiveX plugin required to view PDF files in the browser. If yes, could you please enlighten me on this? OR does this have some setting on the Portal Server where this PDF file reside??
Thanks ,
Jitendra

Hi George !
Thanks for your reply.
Actually i know that this file can be stored in KM repository but there are a few scenarios i would like to mention:
1) I do not have KM installed in the Portal environment i am working on.
2) I am having the problem only with a PDF file. As i mentioned a word file is perfectly opening if its is placed on the Portal server.
So i thought maybe this PDF file is a special case and would need some settings to make it work.
Is there a way out?
Thanks,
Jitendra.

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0
Cannot access in browser PDF files unless blank box is closed and then website address is clicked on again in browser address bar and page reloaded.
Uninstalled Acrobat 9, reinstalled, still same problem.
Help please!

Yes I can it only happens in the browser..
I reinstalled Windows on my machine and started over a couple of weeks ago.
When my desktop started up I didn’t have Acrobat installed and clicked on a pdf file and the open with xxx dialogue box came open.
I chose a different program as Acrobat wasn’t installed yet so it associated pdf files with another program.
Later Installed Acrobat and couldn’t associate the pdf file with acrobat so I went into Folder Options and manually associated PDF files with Acrobat.
Ever since then I get the error when something is downloaded and opened in the browser.
Works fine everywhere else and when I cancel the blank error, highlight the web address and press enter to reload it works 90% of the time.
Not sure what to do..

Weblinks pdfs will not open with recent install of Version X1?

Weblink pdfs will not open using the newly installed Adobe X1 version. How to fix?
Gives message suggesting problem with reader and ends with 103:103

Hi Gordon,
Can you please try opening the following PDF: http://samplepdf.com/sample.pdf.
Do try to open it in browser by clicking the abobe link and in Adobe Reader itself by Right-Click on link->"Save link as".
If you still getting these error, uninstall Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and reinstall Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader.

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.

PDFs do not open in the browser since IE11

Hi,
since the IE11 is installed the PDFs do not open in the browser with Adobe Reader, but directly in Adobe Reader.
The PDFs can be filled but not saved online because they are not open in IE.
If I disable the PlugIn in IE11 and activate again it works again indefinitely.
Can you help me?
PS: translated with Google Translate
Thanks

This, to me, sounds like it's working. Or perhaps a problem with the translation?

PDF is not opening in safari

PDF is not opening in safari . I have adobe prof 9, and safari is the latest version.
Now, all I get is a black window and nothing loads.
what should i do?
i have added ad ones to open pdf in safari, but still doesnt work

Carolyn, thanks -- your solution helped.
Actually, I've had the issue in OSX Lion, whereby the .pdf didn't launch in Safari . . . well, not launch fully.
In my Safari Browser, there would be a blue Q (Quicktime logo) that appeared momentarily, and then the 1st .pdf page (only) would show. But, not say, the other 17 pages . . .
Anyways, in Lion I got a message "Cannot delete (Internet Plugins) folder because OSX needs it" or something like that --> so, I just deleted all the contents + quit Safari = solved!

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.

Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...

Dear all,
Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.
It is quite disappointing with this phone !

hi mateys,
you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected? I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
A.   Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
Is this the ideal solution---NO. Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

Issue: installed Adobe Reader XI, Norwegian version, existing pdf will not open or appear empty

I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, but I still have the same issue. Adobe automatically gives me the Norwegian version as I live in Norway. When I open existing pdf files they appear empty, and automatically close themselves after a few seconds.
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
Your input is highly appreciated!
Thank you.

Thank you so much for your swift response, Pat! The first step – accepting the Eula license agreement solved my problem ☺ ☺ ☺
Wish you a great day – you just helped making mine a lot better!

Interactive PDF will not open online with IE

I have been using ID 5.0 for a year creating interactive PDF publications. All of the sudden the PDF will not open in any version of IE. Works fine with Chrome, Safari...
I have unistalled ID and reloaded but that did not help. I have changed versions of IE with no improvement.
Previous publications onlie still open fine, its just the current publication that has the issue.7y6
Anyone have any ideas?

That sounds more like a settings problem or missing plugin in IE than anything else.

I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro ?

Hi Jenny, I just had to do that, for the 3rd time. It is a pity though when one pays for such expensive software that this happens, specifically when the only Adobe help is to tell you to post your problem on a forum and hope someone can help you. Not good enough and not what I expected when I bought it. I am so disappointed in Adobe.

Links included into a PDF (to other PDFs) do not open in Surface RT and it works normally in normal Acrobat Reader in Windosw 8 in a desktop PC. ¿Why? Thanks

I have created a PDF in Acrobat X Pro that contains several links to other PDFs for interactivity in a publicación. It Works with no problems in Acrobat Reader in a PC but does not in the version for Surface 2 RT (Reader Touch). What's the problem?
Thanks
J.M.

QUOTE>>>To clarify, you would need to first check to see if the PDF extension is set to open (screenshot.20). THIS IS THE AREA THAT PDF IS NOT IN.
If it is not set to open with Acrobat <your version here> (screenshot.21), then you will need to manually tell the computer what program to use. This is where it becomes important to know the filename you are looking for. Adobe is a company; Acrobat is a program. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I TRIED TO DO AND OF COURSE I KNOWN I USED THE WRONG NAME / WORD HERE BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE CORRECT FILE. WHEN I CHOSE THE ACROBAT.EXE FILE IT WOULD STILL OPEN IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
I have a different version than you do, but as an example, my program is located here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe I'M IN THE RIGHT AREA AND GOT THE RIGHT FILE NAME. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE.
Can we get off the wrong word use and get back to a solution please. I am in the right folder c:\program files\adobe\acrobat 8.0\acrobat.exe and I am browsing for ACROBAT.exe (not ADOBE.exe - again wrong word in my first discussion)
Bad day, sorry!

Linked PDFs do not open in AIR help window

I am creating a help system in RoboHelp 10 and outputting it as AIR help. The help topics include links to several PDF documents, which are stored locally (they are not on a server or Web site). When I click any of the links in the AIR help window, however, the window goes blank; the content from the PDF does not appear. No other windows open, either. How can I get the content from the linked PDFs to appear in the AIR help window? Thanks!

Have you tried including the PDFs in Baggage Files?
I'm not sure that is necessary without testing but it's worth a try. Post back to let us know whether or not that works.
