Pdfs not opening in my browser

After reviewing other questions, the added information here is that the pdfs do open or open incorrectly in my browser.
Opening some pdfs unsuccessfully. Get message "An error occurred while rendering the page." Under more info, says pdf malformed, which is not true. Or if it opens, it does not print like it should.
I am using mac OS X 10.7.4, Adobe 10.1.3, Firefox 12.0, Brother MFC-495CW. Any help will be appreciated.

Right click on the PDF in your browser and select Save Link As to download the PDF file locally. Then,
1.       In your web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
2.       (Windows only) From the Files Of Type menu, choose All Files.
3.       Click Browse.
4.       Select the PDF you have saved previously, and then click Open to open the PDF. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file but doesn't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file.

PDFs do not open in the browser since IE11

Hi,
since the IE11 is installed the PDFs do not open in the browser with Adobe Reader, but directly in Adobe Reader.
The PDFs can be filled but not saved online because they are not open in IE.
If I disable the PlugIn in IE11 and activate again it works again indefinitely.
Can you help me?
PS: translated with Google Translate
Thanks

This, to me, sounds like it's working. Or perhaps a problem with the translation?

I've installed the Adobe Reader Plug In. Yet every time I click to see a PDF, it opens another browser and it is blank. The Browser reads about:blank. How can I fix this so that PDF's open in the browser?

Adobe Reader: PDF to open a new browser or cross links?

Is there a way when we click an image link within the PDF page on IE browser to open a new browser or cross link I've tried to uncheck the open cross links in same window, but it seems not working...is there another settings in the IE7 browser or in Adobe Reader8 I need to change??

I´ve got the same problem.
I want to open a link to a website from a PDF stored in MS Sharepoint. This PDF is opened in a browser window (IE7), and the link always open the linked URL in the same window.
I tried to change the same options as you too, but nothing changes.
I can't believe that there is no way to do such a simple thing.
Could anyone tell us if exists a way to include some option in the link like the "target='_blank' in HTML?
Thanks in advance.

Why will PDF not open from email?

I recently modified my Adobe Reader 9.1 (with instructions from the bank) to be able to electronically sign documents.
Since then I can not open any PDF documents from email. I went back and reversed the changes I made. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. No luck.
I have to save the documents and open them from Windows Explorer.
Any Ideas?

A fast workaround for PDF problem (See my original post)
In Firefox:
Open Tools > Options > Under Main tab click Save files to > click Browse
Scroll up or down to find where you want it to go (I put mine under Documents because it's the easiest to find).
Click New folder and label it something you will quickly recognize.
Now when you click on a PDF attachment it will automatically be sent to that file and you can double click or open
it in Adobe Reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Note) If I use Internet Explorer (I have not used IE in years) I can open PDF's from Hotmail with out a problem.
I like Firefox better so I will continue to use the quick workaround until somebody finds a fix.
If you use IE, here are the instructions for saving PDF files.
Click
to open Windows Mail.
Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it
in the message list.
In the message window, click the File menu,
and then click Save Attachments.
Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.
By default,
Windows Mail saves attachments in your
Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder,
click Browse, and then select a folder.
Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.

FDF not opening in a browser

I'm having difficulty opening an fdf file in a browser. I've tried opening the file via a url like http://localhost/fdftest/xxx.fdf. I've tried opening the file by putting the file path in the address spot of IE and I've tried displaying the file using Response.BinaryWrite through an aspx page. In all cases, IE and FireFox will show an empty page and usually hang that page/tab. Sometimes it will show the Reader blue progress bar saying "Loading...." but not do anything. If I double click the fdf it will open in Reader without a problem.
I've tried different approaches for a couple of days now to no avail. I'd appreciate any help you guys could give.
Thanks,
Mickey

Kris,
Thank you for your response. I got tired of messing with it and decided to go another route.

Subject: FDF not opening in a browser
Were you able to open the fdf in an earlier version of the Reader?
I just tried opening an fdf file (http://192.168.0.100/test.fdf where F/ is http://192.168.0.100/test.pdf) from the browser using Reader X, and had no problem. You can also open a specific fdf file from the browser using #FDF. For example:
http://192.168.0.100/test.pdf#FDF=http://192.168.0.100/test.fdf
I have been using this for many years to prepopulate pdfs, but it only works with the Adobe Reader or Acrobat. It isn't supported by other PDF viewers, and it doesn't work with mixed versions of Acrobat and Reader. I fear that someday Adobe will remove this feature entirely for some security reason.
I'd be happy to send you the pdf and fdf files I used, or I can just email you the link to try it yourself.

EML files are not opened in the browser

EML files opened from a SharePoint 2010 document libraries are not opened in the browser. Instead, a dialog box is opened and prompts to save the file.
Since there's no standard application that knows how to handle EML files, and since the EML format is built into SP (send emails to document libraries), I think this behavior is unacceptable.
EML files should be opened in the browser, similar to SP 2007.

Seems the solution is in the client side configuration.
If eml files (as all other file types) are not configured to open by default in Outlook 2007 (or Windows Live Mail), they will be prompted for download or open.
The registry change link I provided earlier did not work for me. I tried this:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-hgG6T55trAJ:john-h-selnes.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!6C7F16530F119E8D!3092.entry+how+to+configure+sharepoint+to+opem+eml+file+in+outlook+2007%3F&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com and
solved my problem. Seems by default eml file set to MIME message/rfc822 and associated with windows live mail - SharePoint team hates Outlook team, right?
If you do not have such assoication, it opens in browser!
My settings: MOSS 2007, windows 7, outlook 2007.

Hi gajanan vasant!
I have a couple of articles for you that should help you troubleshoot your issue with Safari. First, you may want to try a reset on Safari by following the procedure listed in this article:
Safari 5.1 (OS X Lion): Reset Safari
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5043
If you are still having issues after resetting Safari, you may want to check out this article about third-party add-ons in Safari:

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.

I want Safari to download PDFs, not open them in the browser

The subject line pretty much sums it up Whenever I try to download a PDF it opens it up in Safari instead.
If I open Safari > Preferences > General I can see that the box for "+Open 'safe' files after downloading+" is checked. It also says "Save Downloaded Files to" - and "Downloads" is selected.
Is there anything that I'm missing? In Firefox if I click on a link for a PDF file then it opens straight away. I've searched the archives on this forum and don't seem to be coming up with anything that works for me.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks
Is there a way to have this set as the default? My brain is to weary to remember to do this every time

We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in a browser window. Is there a later version or other method ?

We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in Acrobat and the pdf display within the browser window, as within our Online artwork Approval system we use the Acrobat Annotations server to annotate pdfs and publish to the server
But we can no longer get this plugin to work! Is there a later version ? or is there another way of forcing the pdf to open in a Acrobat Reader application (not the Mac viewer) within the browser and not open another window to display the pdf in Acrobat?

The latest version is 11.0.6. Whether that's available to you depends on the version of Mac OS you're running.
