Pdf loads as a gray window in XP

I'm using Safari 5.0.3 on a work computer running Windows XP service pack 3 and Adobe Reader X 10.0.0. When I access a pdf nothing appears in the browser but a gray window. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader but the problem persists.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I do NOT have the Adobe pluginHi...
But you may have Adobe Acrobat still selected to open PDF files.
Right or control click a PDF file you already have on the hard drive then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel see:  Open with

  • Open PDF link in new browser window?

    I'm viewing a newly created PDF in a browser.
    When clicking an internal link, the linked PDF loads into the same window
    I need it to launch in a new browser window.
    I have set the link to "launch new window" in Word where this file originated.
    I have also opened and resaved it in Acrobat 10 with preference "Open cross-document links in same window" deselected.
    Neither of these setting have change the behavior though all documentation I read seems to suggest they should.
    What am I missing here??
    -Blake

    That preference setting does not apply to web links and do not refer to a browser window, but an Acrobat window.
    There is a JavaScript method that might work. Try setting the link action to something like the following script:
    app.launchURL("http://www.example.com/", true);
    This was taken from the example here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.150.html
    The problem is if a user has Reader 10 and protected mode is enabled (as it is by default), it doesn't work and opens the link in the same browser window.

  • Pdf loading message

    Is there an easy way to display a loading message while a PDF
    loads into
    the browser window?
    Thanks

    Zip the pdf file. Link to it as you would to any other file.
    It'll
    download.

  • Secure HTTP FDF - PDF loads blank IE7 window

    I've tried googling this a 100 ways and found nothing much.
    Using IE7 and Reader 8
    When a client clicks a link [a href='https://website.com/getinfo.asp#FDF' target='_blank'], the ASP page creates and displays a FDF file with /F (http://website.com/mypdf.pdf)
    Problem is the client browser opens a blank browser page and Reader gives an error '.... this file could not be found'
    If the link is changed to open in the same page then PDF loads correctly. Unfortunately business rules require that the PDF is loaded in a new window.
    If 'Do not save encrypted pages to disk' is un-checked in IE then the PDF loads correctly in both new and same window. But again business rules require that the option is checked.
    So how do I get the FDF (https) to load the PDF (http) in a new window in IE7 and Reader 8????
    Any suggestions would be helpful

    Well.. I solved this with workaround.
    When a user clicks the link the user is now redirected to a blank page which opens in a new window. After 100ms the page redirects to the FDF generating page. The FDF is generated and calls the PDF.
    Strangely the redirect page had to be timed because an ASP or HTTP redirection wouldn't work. I had to use a JavaScript times redirection. I don't know what difference it made but it works now!!
    Hope this helps some other soul..

  • When i try to open iphoto it opens but its just a gray window that has the loading icon

    when i try to open iphoto it opens but its just a gray window that has the loading icon

    What version of iphoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
    I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF.  No error message but just does not print.
    Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

  • Displaying pdf in browser when using Windows 7 Beta & AR 9

    Early indications are that "Adobe Air" and/or "Acrobat.com" are breaking the display in browser function in Windows 7 Beta when using Adobe Reader 9.
    On a fresh install of Windows 7 Beta, I installed Adobe Reader 9, and as everyone is finding out, you cannot display a pdf in a browser window. Doesn't matter which browser either. IE8, Opera 10a, Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1.14 had the same result for me. The only workable option was to have the pdf open in a separate window of Adobe Reader itself. Oddly though, on rare occasions I could get a pdf to display in a browser window, but 95% of the time it would not work.
    On another fresh install of Windows 7 Beta, I installed Adobe Reader 9. After installation I opened Adobe Reader and accepted the license agreement, then closed Adobe Reader. Next I uninstalled "Acrobat.com", then uninstalled "Adobe Air" using Programs and Features in Control Panel. So far, I have not had any problem downloading and viewing pdf's in a browser window. Tested with IE8 and Opera 10a. Note that I did not run compatibility mode on Adobe Reader.

    Hi,
    I (April) apologize I have been OOO and have not been able to respond to your replies.  
    Let’s start over. 
    We have an issue where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (flickering like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around).
    We use Windows 7, IE9 and RH10 for all our projects. (Recently upgraded from RH8 to RH10)
    Turns out the problem is not isolated. I have run across it in at least one other project, which leads me to think it also occurs in others.
    "Does this only occur when the help is called from your software? Is it OK if you double click the start page?"
              No. I it ALSO occurs when launched from the start page. 
    Have you tried deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh and the project?
              Yes, without success.
    Are you using any redirects?    
              Per (Adrienne), “I am not using any redirects. I encounter this issue only in IE. If I paste the .htm into a Firefox browser, the help displays as it should.” 
              I will add that the project also displays incorrectly in Google Chrome.
    Thanks  April

  • Open several PDFs in the same Reader window using tabs for each document

    How do I open several PDFs in the same Reader window using tabs for each document?  I'm using Reader 11.0.03 and Windows 7.  

    That would be a nice feature!  Suggest it at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform - hopefully it will make it into Reader XII.

  • How to Enable the Preview of PDF Files in 64-bit Windows 7

    If you are running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 (or Vista), you will find that your PDF files do not preview in Windows Explorer as they do in the 32-bit versions. Instead, all you see is a message stating that This file can’t be previewed. To enable this functionality on your 64-bit operating system, follow these steps.
    1. Click the Orb (Start Button).
    2. Go to the Search programs and files textbox and input regedit.
    3. Select regedit.exe from the results.
    4. When the UAC prompt appears, click the Yes button.
    5. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, go to (and select):&#8232;
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-8880-44885D7DC193}
    6. In the right pane, locate AppID.
    7. Change AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}.
    8. Restart your computer for the change to take affect.

    still get "c\This file can't be previewed" in right pane of Windows Explorer for all PDF files.
    OS is Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit.
    Acrobat is 9.0 Standard
    Acrobat Reader XI also installed (ver 11.0.10)
    changed the registry AppID and get same results.
    Any more suggestions?

  • How to reinstall PDF Printer in Print & Scan window on OSX 10.8.2

    Hello,
    I was having issues where PDF's were not saving when I was printing them, so I thought that if I deleted the PDF printer from my list of printers and reinstalled it, my problem would be solved.  Now I can't figure out how to reinstall (add) the PDF printer back into this window.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, and I have been searching the web for about an hour.
    I am running OSX 10.8.2
    I have Adobe Creative Cloud installed
    I am on an iMac 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7
    32 GB of RAM
    Thanks for any help you have.

  • View Multiple PDFs in tabs in ONE window in ADOBE 9

    OK...so after hours of uninstalling and reinstalling adobe 9 to get past adobe's multiple error messages and running CHCKDSK and Windows registry cure I finally get Adobe reader 9 to work, only to find out that
    I can not view multiple pdf's in one window in tiled tabs. Basically I need to have several pdf's open in one window in adobe. I'm a student and writer and deal with multiple e-books at once for dissemination and I do not want them open in multiple windows, just one window with multiple tabs.
    In adobe 8 this option was in preferences. It does not exist in adobe 9. I can not have all these pdfs open in different windows, I want multiple pdfs to open in one window.
    This has been a very frustrating evening dealing with adobe 9. I wish I would have never installed it in the first place. I probably won't be buying 9 pro, its pretty crazy that there are all these frustrations. This whole thing with the Error 2330.Error getting file attributes C:\Program Files\AdobeReader 9.0 GetLastError:1392 which I finally fixed myself and then to find that there is not any way to view multiple pdf's in one adobe 9 window--at least according to what can be found here on adobe, I'm just in tears. I'm not a technical person and I have things due on monday. This is very frustrating.

    The change is due to Adobe's following Microsoft's user interface
    guidelines. I would recommend getting MS to change its tune.

  • How can I view .pdf files in a Firefox window?

    When I click on a .pdf link, Firefox downloads the file to my desktop. This is fine.
    Sometimes, however, I would prefer that Firefox simply open the .pdf document in a new window. I know it used to work this way, but it stopped some time ago. How can I control this behavior?
    I looked in Preferences > Applications and selected on "pdf". Two entries showed up under "Content Type":
    "Preview.app Document (application/po..."
    and
    "Portable Document Format (PDF)".
    Both entries have the same "Action": "Use PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 (in Firefox)"
    Oops. I just figured it out. The PDF entry (only) has an extra pulldown option under Action: "Preview in Firefox". I tried it and it works!
    I guess the old PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 must've quit working some time ago.
    --Gil

    We're good here, thanks. I went ahead and posted in case someone else had the same problem.
    Although... if you know how I might clean out that now-obsolete PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4, I'd appreciate the tip.

  • File Server Resource Manager will not load WMI Objects on Windows 8.0/8.1 Preview with Hyper-V and Server Tools Loaded

    Hi Folks,
    I have a problem getting "File Server Resource Manager" to start properly because WMI objects are not loading??? I don't understand this at all because I am able to access them with other Apps, etc. I have been over my Services list as well but
    have not yet discovered which Service turns on/off "File Server Resource Manager". I have looked in Windows\System32\ and I can not find SrmSvc. I found other Srm's there though. I also found the FSRM Snapin which generates the Figure below but I
    can not find it in the WMI Browser. I believe the Firewall is OKAY since I have been over that thoroughly. I do have the Server Tools Installed for Windows 8.0 or Windows 8.1 Clients as well as the Windows Updates applied, which is where I got "File Server
    Resource Manager" in the first place. I have had WMI and Powershell 3.0 Package, installed since Windows 7 but I run a repair on them anyway.
    I have read through "File Server Resource Manager could not load WMI objects on Windows Server 2012
    Article ID: 2831687" but since I don't seem to have SrmSvc the solution doesn't help me. I haven't been able to find a similar one for the Windows Client.
    If there is anything you could share on this problem I would be much obliged.
    Thanks again,
