.PDF on Internet Exploder

I am unable to figure out how to get .PDF's to show up in Internet Exploder 5.0 and 5.5. Although the doc says the "icon in the upper left corner" was fixed in 5.01, I am still having problems. Netscape 4.75 works fine with no configuration whatsoever. Any ideas? TIA.

Mark Arditti in Adobe's User forum suggested appending &ext=.PDF
"When the original URL is too long Internet Explorer will incorrectly attempt to launch a plugin to read the data. This bug will prevent any ActiveX control for that MIME type from working correctly. Appending the following to the end of the URL will allow this to launch the reader: &ext=.PDF"

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below 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 the letters “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.
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.

Framemaker link to open a PDF doc (internet link) on spcific page?

Hey guys,
I have a Framemaker book (that will eventually be a PDF book) and I want a document file in the FM book to have a hyperlink to an EXTERNAL PDF, an internet address (http,) but I need the external PDF to open on a specific page, pg 24.
I can get the hyperlink to open the external PDF, but I cannot get the pdf to open on pg 24.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

What version of Acrobat do you have? This feature worked in Acrobat 6 and it works in 8.1.2. (It wasn't fixed in 8.0, don't remember about the other 8.x point releases.) It does NOT work in Acrobat 7.x. You do not need the quotation marks. There is an Acrobat thread about using named destinations (better to use than page numbers, if in the future the page number for the content might change), but this thread also touches on the use of the page reference in the link. See http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc5423d/32 - it might help. Another thing I don't know about is whether Frame does anything to that link during the Frame-to-PDF conversion. (It shouldn't, but I can't check this right now.)
So, if you are using Acrobat 7.x, you will need to upgrade. HTH, GMc

Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pro - dialog prompt when opening PDF from Internet Explorer 9

Good morning.
I am having an issue where our ends users that have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard (AAXS) or Adobe Acrobat X Pro (AAXP) cannot open a PDF within Internet Explorer 9 without being prompted by a dialog box to OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Our user that have Adobe Reader X (ARX) only are ok. The ARX users can click on a PDF link within the browser and it will automatically open in a new tab. However, the AAXS and AAXP users will click on that same link, but are then prompted with a dialog box to either OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Has any one else seen this before? We would like it to be so that all users - no matter what Adobe PDF program they are using of the 3 mentioned - can open a PDF link by just clicking on the link and no additional dialog options appear.
The ARX users have the same Internet settings within the Adobe preferences as the AAXS and AAXP users. The check box is checked to have PDFs open within the browser, which they do, but that dialog box always appears for AAXS and AAXP users. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

Can't open PDFs in Internet Explorer 9

Hi there,
I've been having this problem for a while now, where I'm unable to open/preview PDFs in Internet Explorer 9.
Like, if I go to this page http://www.together-uk.org/work-for-us/current-jobs/ and click 'Benefits of working for Together' on the right NOTHING happends lol.
I have checked for updates on Adobe Reader X, I'm up to date. Everything is ticked off in the Internet tab of Adobe Reader X. I've tried everything I think?
Please advise,
thanks.

Works fine for me on IE10 and Firefox.
Try downloading the PDF to your local disk (right-click on this link http://www.together-uk.org/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2011/11/benefofworkingfortogether. pdf and select Save Target as...).
The problem is that the link on that website is a PHP, not a direct link to the PDF, so it may or may not work, depending on your browser settings.

Link color in Internet Exploder

I've set the text-color to white, if I type a text it's
white.
I've set the link-color to white, if I type a text it's
white, however, as soon as I make the text into a link and check it
in Internet Exploder, the link color has changed to purple. Also in
Mozilla Firefox the link is purple, only in Opera the text is
white...
Also in CSS I've set the color to white. I didn't make a new
CSS-rule, don't even know if that's possible in this case, I just
went to the settings for this link and set it to white, this was no
solution either.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thank you, have a nice day...

Exporting file to pdf from internet, the document its in blank or incomplete

When i export a file to pdf from internet, the document is in blank or incomplete. Its the same if i donwload in a PC or opening online. The trouble is only in this PC, and i try with diferent browsers.
I try deleting temporary files, upgrading a latest version of Reader and modifying the security configuration in the browser.
Any idea?

Hi da23841142,
What are you using to export the file to PDF? Or, are you simply downloading a PDF file from the Internet, and then trying to view it in Reader? What version of Reader are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows?
Best,
Sara

Quitar opcion "guardar" cuando se abre pdf desde Internet explorer

Hola a todos,
He creado un documento y le he añadido seguridad con contraseña de manera que no se puede hacer nada con ese documento. Lo he colgado en una web para que se puede ver pero no quiero que la gente lo pueda guardar en su pc. Lo que pasa es que si abren ese pdf desde internet explorer, mozilla... sale una barra que permite guardar ese documento en tu pc. Me comentaron que hay una opcion en adobe que permite que no salga eso pero es que llevo googleando un buen rato y no encuentro nada. Alguien sabe como hacerlo? Tengo acobrat pro 9.
Gracias de antemano.

Si tanto quieres restringir su acceso, (la opción que buscas creo residiría en el código de la página o sitio web), porque no colocas un SWF por ejemplo que se ejecute en la página y no se pueda guardar, como ocurre con muchos banners, etc?

How to view PDF on Internet Explorer 11

I have a new computer - Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, running Internet Explorer 11. I have the Adobe Reader 32 bit and 64 bit add on enabled. I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (1.0.07). I have my Internet Explorer options set to "Always Open Pop Ups in a New Tab", and "Open Links From Other Programs" is set to "The Current Tab or Window". Some of my programs will generate a report as a PDF file. When I open the report, I want it to open in a new tab in the current window (which I have always done with my old computer). With this computer, the PDF opens in the stand alone Adobe Reader, and not in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how to make this PDF file open in a new tab using Internet Explorer 11 and Adobe Reader XI?

The other issue, more rare, is that the reader module is not loading in IE.
My problem was that IE11 was not automatically loading the PDF Reader module even though I had it enabled so I had to start by finding the Class ID of the add-on. You can find that by going to Tools, Manage Add-Ons, selecting the offending add-on (you might have to use the "Show All Add-ons" to see it), right click it, then choose More Information. That pulls up a window where you can see the Class ID. For my add-on the value was:
{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-44553540000}
You cannot copy and paste from that screen to the clipboard so you will need to carefully write down the Class ID. You will need an old-school analog input device like a pencil for that step (I know, so 20th century ).
Next, go to the registry and find this entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\
and see if there is an add-on listed under Settings with a matching Class ID. I did not have a matching key so I needed to create one.
I added the missing key under Settings and then created a new DWORD value under that key. The DWORD is named "Flags" and needs a numeric value of 1 to enable the add-on or 0 to disable it. I wanted to use the add-on so I put in a value of 1.
The combination of these two tweaks fixed my issue. I am not sure if the step above is strictly needed because I initially screwed up and installed the TabProcGrowth key as DWORD instead of String Value. When I changed the value to correct type, I left the earlier step untouched cause if it ain't broken then don't fix it. I also did a master reset of IE under Internet Options, Advanced. That disables all the add-ons (as well as some other personal customizations) so you have to redo those changes as well.
Mine was a clean install on a brand new, out of the box HDD following the untimely death of my old hard disk (RIP) so your mileage may vary if other apps have been messing with the registry. I managed this with Win 7 Pro X64 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.7.

Problems with PDF on Internet site for Indian visitors

Hello,
I'm administrator of a website with German und English contens (made with typo3). When I check my English sites online, everything is okay.
But a visitor from India told me, he is not able to open the linked PDF-files.
I checked the links and the PDF-files, but they are okay. It seems to be an "Indian problem".
The visitor get's the message "Internet Explorer can not display the webpage". May be a problem with the integrated Reader in the IE?
With best regards,
Lille.

What Reader version is that Indian visitor using?
Also, can you post a link so that someone can test it?

Opening pdf in Internet Explorer on Windows

I attempt to open a pdf file in Internet Explorer and get the following message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Plesx exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again".
Acrobat Reader is then launched and the pdf opens.
Is there any way I can view directly in the web browser? I can do this in Firefox on both Windows and Linux.
(Also I've had to create a new screen Ziggy Short as Ben Short has been disabled on forums for some reason, but Ben Short and Ziggy Short are one and the same).
Thanks

What's,with,the,commas?
If you have a tablet that runs full Windows 8 - not Windows 8 RT, which is limited.
And if you install the full Adobe Reader for Windows, not the special Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8.
Then you will have the same features as a desktop.
Unless they can't be accessed in touch mode, since it isn't a touch app.
