Pdf's wont open in browser

For some reason I can not get the pdf reader 9.1x to open pdf files in my firefox or IE. Any thoughts? I reinstalled both the reader and the browser.
Stumpy

Your suggestion did not work for me (WIN XP PRO with either I.E. 8 or Firefox 3.0.9).
I also disabled Acrobat add-in in Firefox without success (I even renamed nppdf32.dll in firefox\plugins)
In Internet Explorer I found 3 different plugins and disabled all of them without success, but now I have an indication error message; this is my translation from Italian: "Program Execution Protection stopped the program to protect the system from possible damage"
Also in internet explorer\plugins I renamed nppdf32.dll without any better result.
I tried also to rename the files acroiehelpershim.dll and acroiehelper.dll in programs\commonfiles\adobe\acrobat\activex but this was not possible because the files are in use (even after rebooting).

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0
Cannot access in browser PDF files unless blank box is closed and then website address is clicked on again in browser address bar and page reloaded.
Uninstalled Acrobat 9, reinstalled, still same problem.
Help please!

Yes I can it only happens in the browser..
I reinstalled Windows on my machine and started over a couple of weeks ago.
When my desktop started up I didn’t have Acrobat installed and clicked on a pdf file and the open with xxx dialogue box came open.
I chose a different program as Acrobat wasn’t installed yet so it associated pdf files with another program.
Later Installed Acrobat and couldn’t associate the pdf file with acrobat so I went into Folder Options and manually associated PDF files with Acrobat.
Ever since then I get the error when something is downloaded and opened in the browser.
Works fine everywhere else and when I cancel the blank error, highlight the web address and press enter to reload it works 90% of the time.
Not sure what to do..

Force PDF form to open in browser?

I'm just wondering if it is possible to force a pdf file to open in a web browser. So that, if the file is saved to someone's computer, when you open it, it automatically opens in the web browser
Thanks,
Nik

Of course you can set the target operating system to associate the pdf extension with a web browser but I think you're probably looking for the form itself to be able to control that regardless of operating system.
If so, try putting this in the top level subform's docReady event:
if (!event.target.external){
cURL=event.target.path;
cURL=cURL.replace(/\/(\w)\//,"$1:/");
app.launchURL(cURL,true);
event.target.closeDoc();
Adobe will show you a warning to Cancel or Allow but that can't be supressed for security reasons.

Need help getting pdf's to open in browser?

I have Acrobat Standard 6.0 and Adobe Reader on my system. For some reason, now when I try to open a pdf in the browswer, specifically in IE - I get the message "the adobe acrobat reader that is running cannot be used to view pdf files in a web browser" - then the Standard opens up on the task bar but no pdf. I want it to use reader to open.
I've tried several settings but to no avail....

You can try and uninstall Adobe Reader from your system and then try instaling it again. While installing, you will get a dialog asking you to chose the default PDF viewing application. Select Adobe Reader in that dialog and continue with the installation. Now, if you try and open any PDF in the browser, it will open it with Reader without any error message.
You can get Adobe Reader 10.0.1 from: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.0.1/en_US/AdbeRdr1001_en_US.exe
Or Adobe reader 9.4 from: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.4.0/en_US/AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi
Thanks

PDF won't open in browser window - think it's Adobe, not FF

Hello! I have Windows 7, 64 bit, Firefox 20.0.1 and Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, both with the same problem. I have Adobe Reader 11.0.2. Earlier today I was able to open PDFs in the browser tab, this evening not so much. I am not sure what changed - to my knowledge I didn't get anything updated today. I have checked all my settings and can't figure out what's wrong. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program. The only thing I couldn't find after extensive Googling of the issue is that my Adobe Reader lacks the button that is referenced in a lot of posts for "display PDF in browser" is missing. I've included a screenshot.
In addition, in Firefox there used to be an option "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", but now there's just "Use Adobe Reader (default)" or other pdf readers (and I *hate* Firefox's pdf reader). I haven't gone too deep into IE's options since I don't use it hardly at all.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Linda

You may have used the 32-bit IE edition previously.
On Windows 7, if opened from the Task Bar, it will open 32-bit. From the Start Menu it will open 64-bit.
Open Help | About Internet Explorer to see if you are using the 32-bit or 64-bit edition.

PDFs will not open in Browser with Adobe Reader 9

I am using Vista Ultimate x64 (SP1) using IE7. I am using the 32-bit version of the browser. I have selected "Display PDF in browser" on the Internet settings tab of the Adobe Reader 9.
Every time I select a PDF document, it forces me to save the document to the hard drive and open it from the hard drive. It will not open the PDF in the browser. How do I fix this problem??
The above procedure did work in Windows XP (32-bit), but does not appear to work in Vista (64-bit).

I have a similar problem using Adobe Reader 9 with Vista 64. I am also using the 32 bit version of IE7. Every time I click on a pdf to open in IE7 the screen remains white without starting Adobe Reader 9 in IE7 browser window.
Using Adobe Reader independantly works without any problem. Only the IE7 plugin does not seem to work. I reinstalled Adobe Reader 9 but without any effect. Adobe Reader 8 works. How comes?

Yahoo! Geocities preventing pdf files from opening in browser

This is for information
I have a web site hosted by Yahoo!Geocities. For some time I have noticed that pdf files mounted on the site will not open in an IE or Firefox browser window. Instead they bring up a pop up window asking what to do with the files. I found that the reason for this was that Geocities was serving the files with incorrect MIME type headers.
A Geocities spokesman has stated that this is a deliberate policy because of pdf security vulnerabilities and that I could pay them lots more to have a web hosting plan that didn't cripple pdf files.
I think that this is something that Adobe should take up with Geocities.

Isn't there a way of zipping the file with the OS or do I need a standalone program to do it?
Command-click on the file you want to Zip and select "Create Archive of <filename>.

PDF Files Not Opening Within Browser(s)

All PDF files that I try to view within a browser (Firefox or Explorer) get sent (downloaded to) my download folder called, Downloads. In the past, I was able to view these files from within the browser...what I prefer to have happen. Can someone tell me how to have the PDF's open when I click on their link from within a browser? I am using the latest version of Acrobat Readeron a Windows 7 system running the Home Edition (64 bit).
Thanks for any help - this has been frustrating

Select a PDF you want to open, and right click on it.
- Select Open with...
- Select Chose default program
- Select your browser (or expand the Other Programs and select your browser)
- Make sure you check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option
- Click OK
- Double Click on your PDF.
Tadaaaaaaaa!

How to make pdfs above 8MB open in browser?

Pdfs whose size is below 8MB open in the browser while those above 8MB open in an Acrobat window. How to make pdfs irrespective of their size open in the browser window only?

The setting you are looking for is located in Tools > Options > Applications. If setting it to using the in-browser plugin doesn't work, you will have to contact Adobe support at http://www.adobe.com/support/.
'''Your Firefox version is several years old. It's no longer supported, and using it is a security risk.'''
Please update to version 3.6.10 using '''Help''' > '''Check for updates''' menuitem, or by downloading the installer from http://getfirefox.com. Thank you.
