PDFs won't open directly from emails

Using Mac OS X 10.6.6, running Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.1.
I have associated the PDF file format with Acrobat, using the Get Info menu, but cannot open PDFs directly from internet, emails, or by double-clicking on a PDF on my computer.
In order to open a PDF, I have to first save the PDF and then open it in Acrobat from the File > Open menu.
If anyone has a suggestion, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The version of system X for Mac really doesn't Matter. If you use any web Browser from Mozilla. SeaMonkey, FireFox, Camino and any Browser that uses the Gecko web engine, that normal.
Safari, iCab, and others that use Webkit take advantage of the included Adobe PDFviewer Plugin. PDF's except some types are shown directly. There are some types no matter how you have browser is set, will always be download first, before viewing the PDF.
I've sent bug report, after Bug report, after Bug report to Adobe to fix this byt after trying since the days X.2.8  I Guess it is falling on deaf ears. Or perhaps the developers just don't know how.
Chrome handles PDF's differently.
There is a Plugin for Gecko based Browsers, that has been partially broken with AcrobatX on Forms with buttons that use a Graphic overlay. They don't work only the button without the graphic shows up.
Adobe has changed the way Graphics are inserted totally in AcrobatX, its almost impossible to insert a Graphic.  In Acrobat 9 its as easy as falling off a log. You inserted Graphic the overlay the button over top.
The plugin that still works (except partially broken in AcrobaxtX) is called PDFBrowser Plugin by Shubert of Germany. It even works with Webkit Browsers. But not IE.

  • Receiving Adobe form into SAP directly from email

    Hi All
    I want to know if it is possible to receive a adobe interactive form directly from email into SAP where we can automate the upload of the PDF data. If so what needs to be done to get this working?

    Hello,
    I am aware its is possible to use "import" in SFP menu. But I don´t know how. I would like to assure you, you can just copy the layout in your source form (it was just some layout created in standalone LCD) and copy it into the opened layout (LCD in SAP) in your SFP transaction. Then the editor think you have just finished drawing that and everything works the way you expect.

  • PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

    I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

  • Why JPEG - TIFF files in Bridge won´t open directly in Photoshop CC 2014?

    Since a couple of weeks ago, whenever I click a jpeg or tiff file in Bridge (last reinstalled in 17/08/14) it won’t open directly in Photoshop CC 2014, but in Windows photo viewer.  Am I doing something wrong or is it Bridge’s fault?

    Thank you for your help. I tried this, but, at least in Windows OS if I do it, every time I'm within any window, a JPEG or TIFF file will open directly in Photoshop, not Windows Viewer. I contacted Adobe support and they sugested me to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop and Bridge. It took me some time, but the problem was solved. I suspect that my issue began the moment I uninstalled Photoshop CC, which was active at the same time with Photoshop CC 2014. So, if you have both, try to live with them or uninstall both apps and reinstall only CC 2014.

  • CS 5 won't open images from Lightroom 3

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to CS5 from CS3, and I've been using Lightroom 3 since it came out. The installation went fine. After working on some images in Lightroom 3.3, I tried to open them in CS5 12.02, and strange things started to happen. Some times the images open, some times they don't. This applies to NEFs, TIFFs, and PSDs. Sometimes when I try to open an image from my Lightroom catalog, CS5 mysteriously opens small jpegs of photos that are not even in my catalog. In fact, they are images I don't even recognize and did not even know were on my computer.
    I called Adobe Customer Support. They were helpful, and they had me set CS5 as my external editor as well as being the primary editor. They also helped me reset my preferences for both Lightroom and CS5. This seemed to work, but when I opened Lightroom and CS5 the next day, the problem started happening again, even when I open images in CS5 using the second external editor.
    I spent over and hour on the phone with Customer Support the first time, and I'm trying to get help elsewhere before I call again.
    I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8 with 4 GB of RAM.
    Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

    Another expirience is, when I try to open directly from Photoshop any other image, Photoshop ignores the XMP and opens the original file without any modification.
    That's normal if the raw files were originally edited in Lightroom. Lightroom stores all edits in the catalog, not the xmp sidecar. You can set Lightroom to write to xmp as well, but that slows it down a little and so it's off by default. The Lightroom shortcut ctrl/cmd+S will also save to xmp.
    I do have a warining at several images in Lightroom = "metadates have been changed - would you like to overwrite data or import ?"
    That's related to the above, and also normal if you go the other way - edit in ACR and then move to Lightroom. It'll then be in xmp, but not the Lightroom catalog.
    As for the missing on-screen image, that's a common video driver bug (although I suppose other causes are possible). For Windows you can download updated drivers directly from the manufacturer's website, but that's not possible with Mac. You'll have to wait for Apple to fix it.

  • PDF won't open in iBooks

  • SOME pdfs won't open...

    Dear all,
    My problem is kind of odd as you can see in the title...
    So some pdfs won't open neither in web browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) nor in Preview. The odd part is that some do open normally both in browsers and Preview.
    I deleted the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin but it doesn't solve the problem.
    Anyone has an idea about what can be wrong?
    Thanks for your help,
    Poteyuh

  • Open link from email now takes 60s after upgrade to 14.0.1

    Firefox has been set as my default browser and so will open links from emails. In the past this happened pretty quickly providing I already had FF running. Now, after the 14.0.1 update, a new FF window opens (irritating but can live with that). Then there is a 60s wait before the page opens (a timeout somewhere?). It seems to be independent of the site visited (I checked with my own site among others as it is nice and simple). I also get the long delay if I ask the mailer to open the email in a browser (for messages containing HTML). The same sites open quickly if I simply type the URL on a run command line.
    I'm running Windows XP sevice pack 3. My mailer is Pegasus 4.4.1 (admittedly a bit out of the mainstream!). Perhaps someone could suggest an additional test to narrow down and then hopefully solve the problem. I've had to make IE my default browser for now as I often use a browser for messages containing HTML.
    TIA

    Thanks, but safe mode does not alter the behaviour and I've only ever had the default theme.
    The delay really is pretty much exactly 60s. Surely this is something timing out. Is that not an important clue?

  • PDF Won't open for my colleagues from Mavericks.

    Hey everyone I have a pretty interesting issue that I have contacted Adobe and Apple about but to no avail...
    ISSUE
    PDF's won't open when I send them via email (all email clients) on OS X Mavericks, but will open when I send them via PC (all email clients), flash drives or any other means.
    Note: Will open on every other platform; OX Mountain Lion, PC, and all email clients not using Mavericks. I have sent out these PDF's for months now (before upgrading to Mavericks) and never had this problem.
    WHAT I'M SEEING
    The file is 155kb but when emailing from Mavericks it says 0 bytes.
    "Acrobat could not open "file name" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
    ENVIRONMENT
    Adobe Reader (Not sure what versions my colleagues have)
    Tested on Both Windows xp/vista/7/8 and OS X all versions
    STEPS TAKEN THAT HAVEN'T WORKED
    Resaved the file.
    Stored it in a different location.
    Sent from different email clients on Mavericks
    Rebooted and tried again
    Updated everything
    Uninstall/reinstall
    If anyone has any idea on how to identify a fix for the issues, I would greatly appreciate your help.  The problem with the idea that the files are corrupt, is that there I have tested out every possible way to prove the file is curropted and to no avail.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Well I found out the update I reinstalled Safari from(the latest combo update) wasn't working because it was installing an incomplete copy of the application. My friend sent me his copy of Safari and it worked again so my issue is solved. It had to have been user-specific because Safari still worked for other users but in the process of removing my user's Safari related things I probably went too far and that's why I messed it up further. Copying his Safari into my apps folder(and fixing the accounts in its privileges) has solved my problems for that.

  • PDFs won't open from websites

    I can no longer open PDFs from websites.  Can still do so when they are sent to me in emails. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader twice.  Still no luck.  When I click on the PDF another 'page' opens but it remains white (blank).  I am operating Windows 7.  Kepersky security and  Internet Explorer.

    Thanks Pat for your response.  didn't work but I finally found the solution on another Forum.  The problem is with Internet Explorer 9 and the solutions was:
    "LAST EDIT - Not sure why this did not happen before but maybe it was an IE9 Update - If you to go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and scroll to the bottom there is a check box for "Do not save encrypted files to disk" that Microsoft thought needed to be checked. However, if the file is encyrpted and the block is checked you can neither see it or download it. Worked like a charm when that block is unchecked. So nothing to do with Adobe, all to do with IE9."
    Worked for me too!

  • Can't open CUP link directly from email notification ( GRC 5.3 )

    Hi Everybody,
    I am working for a client where GRC 5.3 is installed.
    When we submit a user request in CUP , a link is automatically generated in a mail and send to the manager/ approver based on the workflow. But the problem is that client is not able to open the link directly from the mail. They need to open it everytime manually through browser. This happens in Dev system only. Where as in Prd system they do not face any issue. They can directly open link from mail automatically send from CUP.
    Can someone guide where is the problem in terms of setting because Dev and Prd is behaving different way.We are unable to find exact location where we need to make change in Dev grc. Please help.
    Regards,
    Kakali

    Hi Kakali,
       You must have different configuration Dev and Prd. Can you check the application and redirection URL link under SMTP server link? I think the problem resides there as CUP uses those links in the email.
