Um, do you have the FREE Acrobat reader installed, or the FULL

Acrobat PDF reader for Internet Explorer may be unloading/unabling custom plugin

Hi,
My question is basically to understand what is happening in this situation so that I can find where is the problem and how to solve it.
We have used Acrobat 6.0 SDK to develop our custom plugin. This plugin is basically wrapper to few basic tools (note, stamp, text ) etc.. provided by Acrobat 6.0 SDK. We have also developed PDFViewer.dll to view PDF document within Internet Explorer. So when user load document within our website this PDFViewer loaded with the custom plugin and user can use those tools.
We are installing this plugin under <Acrobat X>/Plug_ins/<Company Name>/MyPlugin.API.
In our web site we are giving list of documents and when user click on a document it will load the PDFViewer and custom plugin. We are loading Acrobat.exe in advance so that we can load quickly. Now the problem happens when user open any other PDF in different tab or instance of Internet explorer. ?How?
Consider in a internet explorer user logged in our web site and then he/she can see let's say 10 documents. 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, etc...
Now when user select document 1.pdf we are loading that PDF in the IE within our PDFViewer with custom plugin. (Here I have seen that behind the scene Acrobat.exe is loaded in the processed using task manager)/ If at this time if user opens another instance of Internet explorer or another tab and open a PDF document it opens PDF in the standard Adobe Reader PDF viewer for Internet Explorer resides at (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX).
If at this time user goes back to our site and tried to work on 1.pdf our custom plugin works fine BUT if user opens any other document (let's say 2.pdf) the plug in stops working basically looks like it is not loaded.
This issue only happens if user opens a document in another internet tab or explorer instance and open PDF which resulted in to open Acrobat Activex for internet explorer. If user opens a PDF document out side of internet explorer it is not creating any problem because at that time ActiveX does not loaded.
So my guess is something is going on when ActiveX for PDF is get loaded into Internet Explorer.
I want to know more what is happening and why it is happening. Due to this behavior our web site users can't use any other web site which opens PDF documents because then they have to log off and log back in our web site.
Please we need immediate help.
I am open to provide more details with screen captures.
Thanks,
Twinkle

Hi,
Thanks.
So I want to make sure this is because with Acrobat 9 - the new way to deal with PDF's? Because as per my knowledge it was working fine with Acrobat 8.
Moreover, if I am understanding correctly and I have tested too, the order is important here, right? If I will load PDF in IE first and then I will work on my web site it is not creating problem but if I will launch my web site first and then open PDF within IE in different tab it is creating problem because they are using same interface and when AcroPDF instantiating overriding and failed to load plug_in
Here I have seen that both Acrobat.exe and AcroPDF.dll is using same Acrobat.dll pointing to same memory addresses and that's why problem is happening.
IT would be great if you can provide any other way to "hook" adobe because the bottom line I have to use AcroExch.App from SDK.
One last question, I have seen that if I am opening a PDF in Internet Explorer in a different tab (not in my web app) while pressing SHIFT key and the move to my web site and load different document it is working fine, so the question is what different is happening when we open PDF in IE with pressing SHIFT key and without pressing SHIFT key. IS AcroPDF.dll behaves differently while opening PDF with SHIFT key pressed?
Thanks for all your help.

Unable to open pdf files using Internet Explorer and Adobe 9.1

We are unable to open any/all pdf files in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 using Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows XP SP2.
The error message is that IE has a problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
Clicking "OK" closes IE.
We did not have any issue with Adobe Reader 8.1.
What we did to date:
1. Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1
2. Run Windows Clean Utility to remove any remnant of Adobe Reader 8
3. Re-install Adobe Reader 9.1
Any other suggestions?
Need to have this upgrade.

I'm having a similar issue. Prior to upgrading to Acrobat 9.1 I was able to view PDFs from IE 6. No longer. Instead I get a message: "Error opening document. File cannot be found."
Help?

I cannot open any PDF's in Internet Explorer

Starting just a few days ago, I can no longer open PDF files in Internet Explorer (IE 9). I'm not sure, but this could have started when I upgraded from Reader X 10.1.5 to 10.1.6.
I can open PDF's fine in Firefox 19.0, just not Internet Explorer. I have tried numerous suggestions that I found in this forum and elsewhere:
Turned off popup blocker.
Changed the Internet option in Adobe Reader's preferences to both open PDF's in the browser and not to open the PDF in the browser. Neither option works.
Tried running Internet Explorer in Compatiilty View for the websites where I am trying to view the PDF files.
There was a suggestion to clear the Internet Explorer cache. I could not find that option (cache) under the Setting for IE. The closest thing I found was Temporary Internet Files, so I deleted them.
I uninstalled Adobe Reader and installed an earlier version (10.1.4).
I made sure that the plugin/extention 'Adobe PDF Helper' was enabled.
None of the above has helped. I'm just about out of ideas. The fact that I can still open PDF's using Firefox makes this less than an emergency, but I would really like to get this resolved.
I had some trouble searching this forum (Adobe Reader) thoroughly, so if there is another post out there that has some solutions (other than the 6 items I already tried) please fell free to post a link to it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I just thought I would add some information (albeit vague) on how I solved this problem. I had another computer (laptop) that was not experiencing this problem. I compared the IE settings on the laptop with the IE settings on my desktop and changed all the settings on the desktop to match the laptop. I then restarted IE on my desktop and was able to open PDF files! Since it was working for me, I didn't go back and try to figure out which of the changed settings led to the solution to the problem. If enough people on the forum request it, I will try to go back and isolate the pertinent settings.

The plugin is gets called when we open any pdf document in internet explorer

Hello,
I have written plug-in( .api) for our use. But it's get called when ever I open any pdf document in internet explorer.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 10. What could be the problem. I don't want to call plug-in methods on internet explorer.
The plug-in method should call when am launch Adobe acrobat separately.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Sow

Thanks for the response.
I have written some function in PluginInit. I don't want to call the method when acrobat launches in IE. It should call only when acrobat launches in Desktop.
How can I call the method only when it launches on desktop.
Please help me to solve the issue.

Unable to open PDF files in Internet Explorer

Hello,
One of our users has a problem with opening PDF files in Internet Explorer.
Translation:
Adobe PDF-document
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Close Adobe Acrobat/Read and try again.
The user is using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard in combination with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (under an administrator account), deleted the local user profile and the problem is still there.
Does anyone have an idea about this? The error message doesn't really say what is wrong. Adobe Reader is not installed.

What exactly means "unable"? Do you see a little x in a box on the top left of IE11? If so, this may be the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser.I can download pdfs using fire

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser. I can download pdfs using firefox.

Gilad D,
Thanks for the support.
I would guess the plugin is enabled since when I use Foxfire as my browser, all pdfs download and are readable. (just doesn’t happen when I use IE as my browser, I get a blank screen with a small “x” in the upper left corner)
I will try your proposed solution.

How to install Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer

How do I install an Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer?

If you install Acrobat 10 then it will automatically configure the PDFMaker toolbar in I.E. You can try repairing the software.
Open Acrobat -> Go to Help menu -> Repair Acrobat Installation.
Solution #2
Select "Enable third-party browser extensions" in Internet Explorer Properties.
1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. Select Tools > Internet Options and click the Advanced tab.
3. Select "Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)" and click OK.
4. Close all Internet Explorer windows.
5. Restart Internet Explorer.
If still doesn't work then let me know what the version of I.E and Acrobat you are using.

Can't exit pdf file in internet explorer.

When I open a pdf file in internet explorer, I an unable to exit the pdf file. The only way I can get out of it is by shutting down internet explorer. I am using internet explorer 11 with windows 7. Is there a way to resolve this issue??

Are you trying to open a PDF in a 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?
If you don't know how to see the version - In Internet Explorer, choose Help > About Internet Explorer. (In some versions of Internet Explorer, select the Question mark in the upper-right corner to select About Internet Explorer).
To switch to the 32-bit Internet Explorer, first exit 64-bit Internet Explorer. Then double-click the program icon for the 32-bit version: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Poor pdf display in internet explorer

Hi,

It only happens in internet explorer and Chrome. The quality of the first page of the pdf is bad. When I scroll down to the second page and the scroll up again, everything looks just fine. The Pdf is created by an export from inDesign.
Viewed in firefox and safari, there is no problem.
the problem can be viewed on http://www.q-lab.be/startech/content/freelander2
when you click on download de brochure in the downloads-block (left/bottom)
I've searched the forum and google, but did't find anything.
Has Anybody encoutered the same issue, and maybe has a sollution? Thanks!

External PDF links in Internet Explorer - PDF/A issue?

Hi,
I am having an issue with certain links within PDFs not working when the PDF is being viewed with IE. I have created external PDF links using the Go to a Page View linking feature within Acrobat and then opening an external PDF file and setting the link. The extrernal links work fine when viewing the PDFs within Acrobat, however when I view the PDFs within IE the external links do not work. I am running Acrobat 9.3 and IE 8.
I know there is an issue with PDF/A disabling external PDF links, is it possible that IE always displays PDFs in PDF/A mode, even though I have set PDF/A View Mode to never within Acrobat? Also, I do not remember this being an issue in earlier releases of Acrobat 9, however I am supporting a large group of people that have already updated to Acrobat 9.3 and would hate to have to roll them back. Any ideas as to a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Randy

Bug in Crystal reports viewer: Internet Explorer

Hi,
I've a problem with crystal reports 13 sp2 viewer, that I'm using in .NET web application.
When I visualize a report using this viewer, the text doesn't take often the whole space that is reserved to it which causes an ugly overlapping between lines (an unnecessary text wrap) in the details section. That occurs when there's a multiple lines text. When I export it to PDF, the report is visualized in a right manner.
Is there a fix to this bug please?!
The enable grow property is enabled.
The application is aimed to run under Internet Explorer 9.
PS: Even in Internet Explorer 8, the problem persists. It doesn't happen in firefox.

This illustrates the problem under IE:

This one is taken from the same report under Firefox:

Adobe Reader 11 is unable to open PDF's from Internet Explorer 11

My boss is currently operating on the Adobe Reader 11 and often needs to use Internet Explorer 11 for certain programs.
Unfortunately the Adobe Reader is unable to open PDFs from Internet Explorer and often comes up with a message telling us that the file is either damaged, no longer exists or that there is a problem with the syntax. She does not have this problem with Google Chrome. We have tried several ideas regarding the security settings but nothing seems to correct the problem. Could someone shed some light on how to fix this error?

Menu is getting hidden behind pdf object in Internet Explorer.

This should be a bug in IE, you can try submit it to the IE connect and wait for MS's reply.

Generated PDF stays in internet explorer cache

Hi experts,
I have the following situation at my client:
They use a mix of IE6, IE7 and Firefox to retreive a PDF output for a report. This report is called from a stateless BSP application. The PDF is opened directly in Acrobat reader 7 or 8. So far so good...
When the user closes this report, the PDF remains somewhere in the temporary internet files. As these are confidential reports, this is not great news as sometimes people share pc's...
We have already enabled HTTPS and set the cache (in the response) to 0 days, but the pdf files keep residing in the temporary internet files.
Do you have some pointers for me where to check or what to enable?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Luk

Hi Luk,
I found a bit about this at http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid14_gci1132800,00.html#
Amoungst other things it says...
HTTP 1.1 introduced a new class of HTTP headers -- cache-control response headers. By using these headers you can control how both browser
caches and proxies handle Web pages and ensure that sensitive documents are not cached. HTTP headers are generated and sent by the Web
server before the actual HTML content of a page, and are only seen by the browser and any intermediate caches.
The two key cache-control response headers are:
NO-CACHE: This directive tells the browser that it has to request the document from the server for validation every time before releasing a cached copy.
NO-STORE: This directive instructs remote and local, shared and non-shared caches not to store a copy of the document under any conditions.
Note that no-cache does actually allow a copy of the document to be stored whereas no-store prohibits it. As you might expect, Internet Explorer (IE)
and Mozilla browsers have different implementations of these cache-control directives.
Both browsers will cache a document requested over an HTTP connection that has the "no-cache" directive set. Mozilla will not cache any pages by
default over an HTTPS connection, whereas Internet Explorer will, unless the user has enabled the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" option. A
Mozilla browser never stores documents set with the "no-store" directive, but Internet Explorer only fully follows this directive when the page is requested
over an HTTPS connection. So the only way of ensuring that your sensitive documents and pages are not cached without requiring your users to manually
set any IE options is to use the "no-store" directive over an HTTPS connection. All browsers supporting HTTP 1.1 will support this directive.
Cheers
Graham Robbo
