Print Preview missing when PDF opened through Internet Explorer

No preview - no option to print. This is now affecting 4 of my computers so I'm assuming there is an update that is causing this. It is effecting different versions. One computer has Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0. Another computer is running Internet Explorer 10 and Adobe Reader 9. Both are having the same symtoms. Here is an illustration.
Normally it says "Preview - Image", also notice the xxx on the bottom of the preview and to the bottom left of the dialog box. If I save the PDF and open it directly (outside of Internet Explorer) it works find. Also using Firefox it works fine. I believe its an update because its happened on 4 machines so I don't think its from someone changing settings. What do I need to do to Print? Help.
Thanks,

So this is either a bug in Safari or Preview (because it impairs functionality), or, hopefully, there's some hidden preference somewhere which you can change and reactivate the proxy icon.
Have you verified this as a Safari bug by checking that it works with FireFox?

Hyperlink in MS office to pdf opens in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox

I have some documents (Excel, Word) that contain hyperlinks.
Hyperlinks to websites (www.***.com or http://***.htm) nicely open in Firefox. But links to online pdf's (http://www.***.com/***.pdf) all open in Internet Explorer.
How can I change this?
I'm using Windows XP pro, Firefox 3.0.5, Office 2003, Adobe Reader 9.0.0

I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.
* Windows XP Pro SP3
* Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP3
* Internet Explorer 8.0
* Adobe Reader X (Version 10.1.1)
* Firefox 8.0

I used to be able to open Earthlink through a desktop icon but the icon now opens through Internet Explorer. I can open it through foxfire but want separate ic

A friend used my computer to access his gmail account. I had to sign out of my gmail account but am now back. In the course of trying to help him access his account I opened Internet access.
After it appeared that my gmail account was ok I opened my Earthlink account through the desktop icon as usual. However, my password was not longer there and it was not opening in Foxfire. When I clicked on Foxfire my Earthlink account was there as was my password (hidden of course but saved) I want to be able to have a separate icon for Earthlink that includes my password. How do I do that? And I want to delete the one that appreas to go through Internet Explorer.

Was the shortcut created with Firefox, or Win IE?
Type '''about:preferences#general'''<enter> in the address bar.
Turn on '''Always Check Firefox Default Browser.'''

Preview proxy icon missing when pdf opens from Safari

Hi, this was an older question which was not answered. The problem annoys me too (had to install skim for this single reason, even though I prefer preview for offline work). Here it is:
If I'm viewing a pdf inside safari and I right click on it and select "Open with Preview" Preview does indeed open the pdf but there is no proxy icon next to the pdf's title in the title bar. Preview in Tiger definitely did have one, the path to pdfs opened like this was something like ~/username/library/wekitpdfs/filename.pdf
Anyone know if there's a way to get my beloved proxy icon back, dragging the icon to the desired destination is faster than going through the save dialog.
Is this a Preview or Safari bug? Thank you for any insight on this

When I opened up Internet Explorer, IE eraced all my email addresses from foxfire and put them on internet explorer. How do I put them back on foxfire?

When I opened internet explorer, Internet explorer erased all my internet addresses off foxfire and put them on internet explorer. How do I import all my email addresses off of internet explorer and put them back on foxfire. Mary

Hi mary200077,
So you are saying all of your favorites are in IE but not in Firefox? Don't worry, that's an easy fix! Just take a look at the [[Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer]] and you'll be set! Post back here if you have any issues.
Hopefully this helps!

How to have PDF open in Internet Explorer 7 (Adobe reader version XI)

Hello,
we would like to know how to open PDF in internet browser. Our browser version is IE7, Adobe Reader version is XI.
Thanks,
Jason

XI Pro contains all of the capabilities of Reader and a lot more. If you can't see the PDF, you may have the view in browser unchecked in Acrobat, or more likely your Acrobat is not updated to be compatible with the version of IE you are using (You did not mention). There may also be an issue with the OS you are running that could vary between computers (also not mentioned). First thing to do is to go to Help>Updates and be sure you are running 11.0.09. Then check the preferences (check the Internet tab).

Hiding the menu bar of acrobat when opening in internet explorer

Hi, i remember vaguely about a certain suffix you can give to the link of a pdf file so that when it opens inside internet explorer, it does not show the menu bar. Could someone help me out and tell me what this suffix is?
I remember it was something like.... www.asfg.com/mypdf.pdf#NOMENU or something.
If there is any other way to do this, it would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,

Acrobat print window crashed when try to a print the PDF opened through browser

Hi,
I have Acobat pro and reader installed on my machine.
I have set the properties - Open pdf in browser. So, all the PDFs are opening in browser uses Acrobat not the reader.
And this is way I want. It was woking fine on Windows XP.
After Windows 7 upgrade, Print option on acrobat (pdf opened in browser), makes browser crashed. Printing window (pop up) appears but looks it is hanged. No OK, cancel buttons appears.
If I uncheck the acrobat properties - Open pdf in browser, then it works fine. But my other applications which need acrobat in the browser start crashing.
Is there any property/setting which is restricting print dialog box/ making browser not to respond?
Please advise.

Yes, I updated Acrobat through update option last week.
Acrobat 9.5.2
Windows 7 64 bit OS
Adobe Reader XI
Browser IE 10
In print window couple of fields which get drop down automatically have blank values.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Arcobat shows proper print window (pop up) if I uncheck the checkbox - Open pdf in browser. And then I open pdf in acrobat and try to print it.

PDF's in Acrobat Reader X will not open when using the browser, Internet explorer opertes all ok? Mozella 4 is the default browser! Windows XP Home ed with all latest updates!

When using the Mozella Firefox 4 browser and the NEW version Adobe Reader X, PDF's online will not ever open. After 1-3 minuites, I eventually get a message the Adobe reader is running, but need to close and try again! I get same results when trying again.
Internet Explorer operates and opens the online PDF's all ok and the Adobe Reader X seems to operate all else ok!
I think, but not sure, that this issue appeared when the Adobe Reader updated from the older version 9 or so to the NEW Adobe Reader X version about 1 or 2 weeks ago, but not sure. I just remember that Mozella always worked ok previously to the Adobe Reader X version for opening online PDF's last month, etc.
Note that I said that Internet Explorer browser operates ok Using the New automatically upgraded Adobe Reader X for viewing PDF"S! (adobe notified me that the new version 10 (X) was available for updating, etc) I also just discovered that google chrome browser opens the online PDF's ok!
I have not trying re-storing the computer to the previous month, etc, since the issue seems to be with Mozella not liking the Adobe Reader X version and Internet Explored browser operating ok!
Any ideas????

I had the same problem and my solution was to disable the PDF extension that came with Firefox 4 which belongs to another company. I found out that it wast interfering with ReaderX. I unabled it and restarted Firefox. I have had no problems since then. Go to Tools, Add-On and click on Extensions and disable the PDF extension. I hope this helps

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.

With Yahoo! Mail attachments are put together in zip format I can't open, but when I switch to Internet Explorer these same attachments open easily as Word or PDF files; how cn I fix?

Two recent emails (Yahoo! Mail) each contained multiple attachments which were presented to me as zip files which were in a format that my computer could neither open or convert to files I could open. One was two Word documents; the other was five one-page PDFs. I tried with Firefox on two different computers with same results. When I switched to Internet Explorer, I was able to open the attachments each as separate Word or PDF files, with no trouble. Am I doing something wrong?

instead of writing such an essay, you could have explained better what you tried to do to get them.

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.

When I open a page from an email document it opens in Internet Explorer - how can I stop this?

Hi, I use Firefox as my default browser but when I opened a link from an official emailed adobe document it opened in Internet Explorer - I want to force all browser links to open only in Firefox - I have checked the advanced options and Firefox is set to my default, please help.

Hi PCM1, if i understand well the problem you have is when you click on a URL in a pdf file, the link opens in IE ? Have you checked in the default programs panel to see if all was well set ?
