Problem downloading any pdf document

When I try to download any file ending in .pdf in IE7 the tab freezes.
e.g. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/pdfaccess.pdf
The status line says done but nothing downloads.
I cannot download in Mozella Firefox either.
I can read pdf documents from files on my computer without problem.
The pdf downloads without problem on a friend's PC.
I am using Windows XP Home OS amd Adobe Reader 9.

Thanks Trevon,
That is a helpful work-around.
I'm still puzzled as to why it will not download and display directly from the link.

Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that 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.

[SOLVED] Evince failed to open any PDF documents after upgrade

I have a x86 version Archlinux on a 32-bit intel platform. After recent upgrade, the Evince package was updated to 2.32.0-3, which fails to open any PDF documents. It gives a notification says "Unable to open document: File type PDF document (application/pdf) is not supported".
No other package was installed/removed. It just stop working after the upgrade.
Looking forward for any suggestions/solutions. Thanks in advance~~

Thank you so much.
The problem is solved as soon as I replaced the modified freetype2 from AUR with the official package. There seems to be something incompatible with the upgraded system.

CS6 free trial ends and stops any pdf document being opened ...

Brilliant Adobe and thanks for stopping me, a small self-employed business, from being able to work. I downloaded a free trial of CS6 and it proved unsuitable to my newlsetter needs. Now it has ended, I cannot open ANY pdf document as it wants me to spend loads of cash on something I don't want. See you in court Adobe ...

What has any CS6 product to do with Acrobat/ Adobe Reader? You're making zero sense. Simply uninstall the CS6 products and reinstall Adobe Reader or your previous versions of whatever you used. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and Acrobat Cleaner Tool if need be. And to be blunt: Forget that "court" comment. Read the EULA for the conditions under which the software is provided "as is".

I am unable to download a pdf document onto my MAC from a Canadian government website

I'm having trouble downloading a pdf document from a canadian govenrment website (I'm on MAC) in spite of having installed the latest version of Adobe reader. Any ideas?

When I go to:
Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit (CPTC) - Arts and Cultural Industries - Arts and Culture
www.gc.ca/cptc/forms
and attempt to download the 'Breakdown of Costs (Live Action)'
I am not able to do so
Rather I get a message saying that if I'm having trouble I should download the latest version of Adobe Reaer to my MAC, which I've done & confirmed that it's in fact installed
I still can't download the required form
They said I should contact Adobe.com if I'm having trouble.

How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes. I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved. What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader. When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista. It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
Take care :-)

That depends on your operating system and browser. On Windows, e.g. using Firefox, you right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'.

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

Hi...
Quit your browsers.
Open the Finder.
From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Typs this exactly as you see it here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
Relaunch either Firefox or Safarai and try downloading a PDF document.

I have installed Reader, however I can not download any PDF's

I have installed Reader, however I can not download any PDF's as I keep getting a message that I have not signed the agreement. There were no places in which to do that and I can not figure out how to go back and sign it. When I try to follow the instructions, it will not let me sign anything or take me to the spot where I should sign. Can you help?

Have you opened Reader from Start>All programs (on Windows) or Applications (on Mac) yet?

Photoshop has to have full administrator rights to have read/write access.
This means you need to run Photoshop CS5.1 in an Administrator account and set it up to "Run as Administrator."
1. Close Photoshop if it's open.
2. Right click on your Photoshop CS5.1 launch icon then select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu. (You will have to enter Admin Password if UAC is enabled to change this setting.)
3. Launch Photoshop CS5.
4. See if you create and save a document.
Even if you are in an Administrator account you have to do this as Vista's Admin account isn't really the Super Admin as it is in XP so you have to elevate the rights by selecting "Run as Administrator". This setting is sticky so you should only have to do this once. I am not sure why CS3 is suddenly acting as if it does't have Admin rights unless you are running it in a new account that isn't an administrator or maybe uninstalled (cleanScript?) then reinstalled.
If can't create or save a document, check that the account that Photoshop is in is an Administrator account.
To check if you are in an Administrator account...
1. Type user account in your Vista or Windows7 start search bar. (Start search bar is at the bottom of the panel that opens when you click the start Windows start globe located on the far left hand side of your Windows task bar.)
2. Click on "User Accounts" which should show up at the top of the list. This will open the dialog to User Accounts where you can "Change Your Account Type". If UAC (User Account Control) is turned on, you will need to enter the Admin password to change this setting.

My PDF download stopped operating and I can not open Any PDF documents using Firefox anymore. I have Adobe reader 9.3.1 installed on PC and on Firefox I have PDF download 3.0.0.2 and Adobe acrobat 9.3.0.148. What could cause this sudden malfunction?

No error messages appear, PDF documents are just not created.

Problem viewing secure PDF documents in Apple Preview

I have recently written an ebook that I would like to sell online. The original document was created using Pages and saved as a standard PDF. So far so good.
As a way of trying to protect the book, I would like to have it password protected, which of course I can do in Preview, however, to use a stamping feature on the server that would print the buyer's name and email on the downloaded book, I am told that I need to save the PDF as Acrobat 5 or later.
The problem I am finding is that if I save a PDF in Acrobat using any kind of security it fails to view properly inside Preview. The page contents are reduced to miniscule items that are totally unusable, but those same files open perfectly inside Acrobat.
So far the only way I can get password protected PDF files to open properly in Preview is if they are saved in Preview, however, I have found that these files are not compatible with the PHP stamping feature on the server that would add the buyer's details.
Does anybody with knowledge of Acrobat and Preview understand what is happening here and how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks
Ashley

Thanks Phillip I tried that but it didn't work. Something really perplexing me though is why documents saved as PDF in Acrobat with a password for opening are completely failing to view properly when opened in Preview. Try creating a simple PDF document in Acrobat with a few pages and all you get is a huge blank space with a small black dot in the middle if you try to open that file in Preview. This was my experience and a friend has just tried as well with exactly the same result.
I have an ebook here that was password protected for opening and according to the properties it was saved as Acrobat 6, however this does open properly inside Preview and her one works properly. I've been through the settings though numerous times and I am truly baffled why it's proving such a problem. The book I have written is about photography and just about every photographer I know uses a Mac, so I cannot simply ignore this question.

Problem printing scanned PDF document from iPad to HP Photosmart Plus B209a

Hi,
I'd like to report a problem printing a scanned PDF document from iPad via HP ePrint application to my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer. The document was sent to the printer without any issue. However, the printer only prints out the
screenshot image in the center of the PDF page, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit in an A4 paper. The rest of the document is simply ignored by the printer. The document with the problem can be downloaded in the link below:
Download PDF document with the problem
What could be wrong? Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the reply.
I received the document from my teacher, so I don't know what program she used to scan it.
I tried to print the document directly from my PC which works fine though, so I guess the document is OK.
My HP printer is an old model which doesn't support eprint or air print, so I used the eprint application on iOS to print the document. I tried both color and black/white which gave me the same result: only the center screenshot image is printed out, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit an A4 paper, the rest of the document is just ignored.
What do you mean by saving it as a document?
