Pdf's don't open on IE6

Hello all
Our site includes loads of PDF's links and it doesn't work on IE6
only.
When I am trying to open it in the browser it says: Error occured, but
if I am saving it on my pc, it is working fine.
The problem is not occured on IE7 or FF.
More details:
* We recently moved from Windows servers to Linux servers.
* All other files such as docs are working fine.
* The problem occures only if we are using our domain or external IP.
If we are using internal IP, there is no problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Izik

No problem double clicking a saved local pdf file to open it, but if it is an email attachment or a link in a web page, "The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action..." is the result.
Microsoft Answers provided a registry change to solve the same issue with Powerpoint Viewer.
Locate the following registry key.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPointViewer.SlideShow.12\shell\Show
Please rename "Show" to "Open".
Repeat the same step on the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPointViewer.Show.12\shell\Show
What registry key would I change to fix this for Adobe Reader?
Thanks

Pdf files don't open in Chrome after Yosemite upgrade

Trying to open a pdf or a ppt attachments on latest Chrome after the Yosemite upgrade, nothing happens. Please share your experience or a suggessted fix or a work around. I am using a macbook white early 2009

I am not one to recommend reinstall, but that might be required. One of the problems with CC is that it leaves some info in the system that makes it think it is installed, even after you uninstall it. There is a fix for that, but I don't remember it (right now I am not remembering much with pneumonia). If you decide to uninstall, you should go through the uninstall process (there may be a special uninstall for CC that I have not seen). Then run Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs. Remove any leftover part of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. It may reinstall or you might run into that other fix that is needed. In that case you will have to search the forum.

.pdf files don't open after having download the creative cloud because of a previous trial version

Dear,
I used a trial version of acrobat pro for a month. After the trial I downloaded the creative cloud to enjoy all the programs.
The creative cloud is well installed on my computer but now every time I try to open a .pdf document it refers to the trial saying that it is over and that I should subscribe, but I did!
I am kind of desperate, I can't open .pdf files.
Can anyhow help?
Thank you!
Lionel

Older PDF's don't open in Acrobat X

I have recently installed Acrobat X on my Windows 7 laptop. A large majority of my older PDF's which were downloaded from the NFPA website will not open. No error message. Acrobat opens, but no file appears. Other PDF's, of all different ages, open. Any ideas? Thanks.

I would recommend updates for AA X (help>updates). Have you tried to open the PDFs from the file menu of Acrobat? Were you able to open them before -- with what software?

PDF downloads don't open, is this a FF issue?

I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

The PDF's which I download through Firefox show to be corrupted & don't open

Lately the PDF's I download though Mozilla are shown as corrupted. But when the same PDF's I download using other web browsers no such problem arises.
I have tried uninstalling the firefox software & re installing it by downloading a fresh exe file. But the problem still persists.

The Problem is the PDF's don't download properly. They niether open with mozilla or with any othe PDF viewing software.
One example of the error is attached with this mail

Acrobat distiller (first use) don't open PDF file what to do ?

Hi,
Acrobat distiller (first use) don't open PDF file and give this message (in french) : Erreur dans /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2008.joboptions : /CheckCompliance out of range Avertissement : Distiller ne traite pas les extensions de fichiers .PDF ou .JDF.
What should I do ?
Thanks for your reply.

No, Distiller does not do that job at all. Distiller makes PDF files, but it does not read them.
I am not sure what you are using: Distiller Server is finished as a product. Distiller comes with Acrobat also - this is not Distiller Server.
Acrobat Pro includes many tools for processing PDF files and can sometimes reduce file size. It can also convert to PDFX4 using Preflighting.

PDFs don't open upon download; download fails

Clicking on PDFs starts download, but download terminates with message such as this one (per Grab). Very frustrating. Work around of Ctrl-save file to a location, then go to the location to open, is poor solution.
I'm not able to post the .tif here, but the message runs:
Download Error
/.../{filename}.pdf could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.
Try saving to disk first and then opening the file.

HI Bernard
Welcome to  Discussions and Mac Computing
Open either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat, whichever is installed in your system. In the Adobe Menu, go to Preferences>Internet. There uncheck "display PDF etc.". Also, just to be sure, go to your Finder: In the spotlight panel, copy/paste AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If this file appears in the search return, highlight it, then command key/delete to move it to the trash.
Restart Safari and try a PDF.
Good way to familiarize yourself with OS X is to pick up a copy of Scott Kelby's book OS X Tiger: Killer Tips.

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:
http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].

Links in PDF files will be opened in a new browser window?

Hi all,
I'm opening PDF files in a browser. I'd really like links in PDF files will be opened in a new window as html. My browsers was configured to allow opening new pages in a new window (FireFox: Tools\Options\Tabs\ New pages should be opened in: New window ;IE 7: Tools\Internet Options\Tabs Settings\Open links from another programs in: A new window)
Please tell me any additional step I have to done
Thanks much
Luong To

Thank you Bob! We will try out tests again today.

Pdf links will not open in new browser window

I have created a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro that is password protected. You must enter the password to open it. In this document there are perhaps 15 links to other pdf documents. I set up each of the links to open in a new window. The links work as expected in Acrobat, each opening in a new window, however, when I posted the documents to the web, the links open in the same window as the original document. This would not be a big issue if the original document were not password protected, but each time the user clicks on a link, it takes him out of the original document. To get back to the original document requires re-entering the password. This is a major irritation with so many links.
I know that you can set Acrobat to display the documents in its own window rather than in the browser, but my users don't know that. Control clicking on a pdf link does not open it in a new window as it would with an HTML link. Is there a simple fix to this problem that does not involve user intervention?

Well, I came up with a solution, thanks to Ted Padova who offers a simple JavaScript solution on his blog at http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windows.
The solution is clearly laid out even for beginners, if you know how to create a link or button.
It seems to me that a prime objective of Adobe in developing Acrobat would be to have it behave the same way in free-standing mode and as a plug-in. In this case it does not, and obviously, it has not for the last forty-eleven years that Acrobat has been on the market. Maybe some day they will get around to a fix for this obvious problem. In the meantime, read Ted's blog and be happy we have guys like him who can solve these problems.

Bookmarked PDF's will not open in browser window

I just got the latest FF 3.6.6 and installed Nitro from Adobe so that I could open PDF's in the browser. Before upgrading, I could bookmark a PDF and it would still open it in the window. Now it wants to save it. How do I fix this? I bookmark a lot of PDF's because I don't want to save them on my computer, and I use them over and over for my writing.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6 and got Nitro add on

1. Nitro is NOT an Adobe product.
2. It is an alternative to Adobe Acrobat.
3.It currently does not have the ability to display in a browser tab; see 3rd item below.
Company's web site: http://www.nitroreader.com/
User forum (click "Help" at the top of the Company's web site): http://community.nitropdf.com/nitropdf?from_gsfn=true
User forum thread; no in-browser display: http://community.nitropdf.com/nitropdf/topics/launching_pdfs_in_the_browser_window
You should be able to open PDF files from the internet directly in a separate Nitro window (not a tab in Firefox) if you change your settings on the Application panel (Tools > Options > Applications for "...PDF Document" content type(s). Read the following 2 articles carefully:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+file+types
http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
The PDF file will NOT open within Firefox because no browser plugin is provided by the company, but instead will open the Nitro program in a separate window and display the PDF there.
Somewhat general instructions; I do not have Nitro, so I am guessing at some names and locations on your hard drive and what you will see on the Applications panel. In the Applications panel, use the pull down arrow (see step 4 in the above article, Managing File Types), click "Use Other".
-If Nitro IS on the pop-up list, click on Nitro, click OK.
-If Nitro is NOT on the pop-up list, click Browse, go to your installation folder for Nitro (probably on C: drive in your Programs folder), open the Nitro folder, double-click on the executable that will open the Nitro program; nitro.exe/nitroreader.exe (whatever the file is named; you might want to find and open the Nitro program before you begin the process to know the exact executable file name to double-click).
