PDF only opening in IE

If this is the wrong part of the forum i apologize... Now onto the reason I am here..
I have a user that has Adobe Xi Pro installed along with IE8 locally. Do to job requirements of opening several pdf's hourly and editing them, how would we get it set up so that they will open in adobe pro vs opening in the browser instead. I tried to check the intranet preferences page in pro but get the following instead of check to open in browser box. I have checked the add ons for ie, we have tried to disable, one or all of them. Have also tried the same steps for IE 11 through our citrix server, including tried to disable the EPM mode to see if that might also be causing it. All changes resulted in the same, the pdf opening up in a browser window.

Hi kc_guy,
Could you please right-click on any PDF icon and check under 'Open with > Choose default program' if you have selected Adobe Acrobat or some other program.
Also, go to IE Tools menu > Manage Add-ons and select 'All add-ons' under "Show" label.
Then, check if Adobe PDF Reader is enabled, then click on Disable button and close the dialog box (as shown below):
Now, see if the PDFs open in Acrobat or still in the browser.
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Anubha

PDF only opens in one install of Std 7.1.0, nothing else at all

The business I work for has received a PDF from a customer, that is a version 1.3 file created using PDF-Xchange, and the PDF only opens on one computer in the whole of the business which is running Acrobat Standard 7.1.0.
On all other computers it will not open and Acrobat states that it is damaged. I've attempted to open it on other computers also running Std 7.1.0 with no success, and on my own which is running Pro 9.3.2.
How on earth is the PDF able to open on just this single computer and no others, no matter what software they are running ?.
Thanks.

Thank you both for the replies. The install had gone well up to step 29 of the process. I made sure I read the notes closely and applied everything that was needed for the install on V6R1.
Like Luis stated, I realized what was happening with the password because we did find that message in the system history log. To make a long story short, we have '/usr/sap/trans' on a separate LPAR on our 570 and needed to create the <SID> profiles on that LPAR and grant them authority to the needed transport directories. What happened though is once I did that I changed the passwords on both systems to match and didn't take into account the install process had the password we installed in the preliminary steps of the install stored somewhere. So after changing both LPAR's <sid>adm password to the install defined password, all went well.
Again thank you so very much. Much karma to both of you.

PDF only open the first time

HI
I have a problem with the PDF export, of any type of document; the situation is complicated in the case of documents which provide for the printing of batches of transactions. Let me give an example.
I open a delivery customers and I click on the icon PDF: SAP opens the pdf of Transactions batch and then the standard form of delivery; simultaneously saves both pdf folder of images.
If, once closed the pdf, I click again icon PDF (or after creating a new document), SAP only opens the transaction reports; the report of delivery is not open on the screen but is only saved in the attachments.
In order to view again I have to close the form and reopen it.
Is the first time that the next time, the log file I have the message "Invalid input parameter for DfltSeq", but the first time you open the pdf.
Does anyone know help me to understand why:
1. SAP does not reopen both reports from the second time
2. the pdf are saved once in the path of the images, and after the path of attachments.
Thanks
NL

Hi Maggie,
can you tell me if there is something official SAP (Notes or other) with the problem and that SAP will provide a solution?
I have the SAP 9.0 PL 14 and I do not have the problem.
the customer have 9.0 PL 16 and has the problem.
Thanks

PDF only opens in 64 bit of AI

Hey all, I've had a few PDFs come in that can only open in the 64 bit version of AI. The problem is that we have a script that runs and interacts with AI, that only works with the 32 bit version. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause the .pdf to only work in AI 64-bit? If you need the .pdf itself, I'll have to get permission from the artist/customer before I can upload it.

My apologies. The reason it wasn't very specific is that the error only gives us "Could not open file" and exits. It looks like the artists have isolated it to an effect they had applied to the text that the 32 bit version of illustrator did not like. They resaved it as an .eps/.ai (she mentions both) and it was able to open and point her to the problem. Seems like it has a problem running debug routines on .pdf files. Issue seems to be resolved for now.

PDF only opening in Foxit App

I have a Physics PDF that only opens on Foxit PDF. It won't open on Adobe, Skim, Preview, or anything except Foxit PDF (previous Windows Laptop) and on the Foxit PDF app that is available on the iPad.
I've been googling but can't find a way to fix it. If anyone knows the answer, would you mind explaining to me at least why it will only open in Foxit. Whenever I try a different application it says the file is corrupted. But it's perfectly fine on Foxit.
I recently started using a MacBook Air so I wanted to start reading/annotating my PDF's with Skim instead of the iPad because I type faster on the laptop. But Foxit isn't Mac compatible (Or at least I have no idea how to install it the intense power user way if that exists) so it's a bummer.
Tried splitting the PDF on PDFSam but PDFSam detected it as corrupted as well.
Thanks!

And ...... I must be terribly stupid because I swear this didn't work ages ago but in depseration I opened the file on my iPad Foxit app and then chose to open it in GoodReader who fixed the corrupted file and now everything is fine.

Just select Print in Safari and then, in the bottom left-hand corner, select PDF and you can save it to whichever flavor pdf file you like.

When opening a pdf file on my HP laptop, MS 8.1, i can only open or print one file. I can't close the file once opened or open anuything else unless i restart the laptop.

Help. Am not a techie, don't have a clue on fixing the issue. I open a pdf. and when i try to open another, the original one comes up. Same for printing. I can only open another pdf. after i reboot.

If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
-Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
-Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

I have a pdf that i can not get to print and I can only open it with Adobe Reader.

I have a pdf that will only open in Adobe Reader. I need to print it but when I try, I keep getting the message "Before you can preform .....you must install a printer." I have several printers networked to this machine. They all have up to date drivers. I've tried changed the default printer. I must print this document and am getting very frustrated. I am on a Windows 7 PC.

Hello,
In order to troubleshoot the Adobe Reader printing issues, please refer to the following link:- Troubleshoot PDF printing | Acrobat, Reader.

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

Hi Juliea,
I think the file association for PDF is not correct. Instead of double clicking the file to open, Please try below mentioned
right click on the file and select open with..
Select Choose Default Program
Select Adobe Reader from the list(If it is not in the list then navigate C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader and select AcroRd32.exe)
Remember to select the check box"Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
Click ok

PDF will only open in Word

When I try to open a pdf file it will only open in Word not in Acrobat how can I make Acrobat the default. I am using Office 2007.

In VISTA, you can select help in Windows Explorer and enter association. You get instructions of how to change the association of a file type. You can also right click on a file and select properties. There is an option to change the file Open With option on the general tab. I do not know if VISTA makes this the default for all PDF file or just the one being processed.

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

Transfer them to your harddisk immediately.
External drives are not offiially supported and the source of errors of all kinds including complete loss of files.
Illustrator support for networks and removable media
