Problem with opening pdf in browser

Hello
Acrobat X Pro 10.0.0.396 was installed on PC with Adobe Reader 9 (tried with Reader 10). When I open pdf documents from browser IE 8 or FireFox 3.5 i cann't see Tools panel and buttons from quick area (only Comments and Share).
plugin in browser - Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396 but i think document opens with plugin from Reader. But i deleted it from PC
thank you in advance

Each user would have to set each browser individually.
Note: I don't think it's possible to set the default PDF viewer with code for every user who visits the site.
See the following link to enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer in different browsers:

Note: Not all PDF viewer browser plug-ins support PDF submissions, and most 3rd party viewers may not support forms created with LiveCycle or forms with Extended Reader Rights enabled.

Problem with opening PDF files in Google Chrome browser

We have a web page displaying links to dynamically generated PDF files located on the internal repository. This files are not just text PDF files but PDF forms created using XFA technology. This means that they must be opened and filled only in Adobe Reader and not in Foxit Reader or browser's built-in PDF viewer.
Now, the problem is that a Google Chrome browser opens any PDF file using its own PDF viewer. And I want to force this browser to open PDF files in Adobe Reader.
How can I achieve this without disabling 'Chrome PDF Viewer' plugin since I can't do this for all users of our web site?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. We use LiveCycle ES3.

Problem with opening PDF files from JSF page using SDO

Hi all,
I'm new with JSF and was attempting to read a PDF file from a Database using SDO and JSF. The code below throws an exception when casting from DataObject to Blob. The getLcDoc() method was created by WSAD when I dragged an SDO relational record onto the JSF page. This method returns an DataObject type which I tried casting to a Blob type before using it further. However, an exception is thrown.
Any feedback is appreciated.

try {
               FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
               Blob file= (Blob)getLcDoc().get("ATTACH");
               int iLength = (int)(file.length());
               response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
               response.setHeader("Expires","0");
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
               response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
               response.setContentLength(iLength);
               ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
               InputStream in = null;
               in = file.getBinaryStream();

               if (i<0) break;
               os.write(buff,0,i);
               os.flush();
               os.close();

          System.out.println("Error while reading file : " + ex.getMessage());
     }

Hi...I found out that there is actually no need to use a Blob object at all. You can simply call the OutputStreams write() method and pass the DataObject.getBytes() method that returns a byte[] array. The revised code is shown at the end of this posting.
However, a few other teething problems exist:
1. This works well only if I specify the content type in response.setHeader() method. What if my users upload different types of files, is there a way that the browser opens according to the file type without setting the content type?
2. I still have a problem opening PDF files, even if I specify - response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
I get the message - The file is damaged and could not be repaired
3. I would also like this to open the attachment in a new window and using target="_blank" doesn't seem to work as seen below:
<h:commandLink
                                             styleClass="commandLink" id="link1" action="#{pc_DocumentDetailsRead.doLink1Action}" target="_blank">
                                             <h:outputText id="text5" styleClass="outputText"
                                                  value="Click Here"></h:outputText>
                                        </h:commandLink>
------------------------Revised code-----------------------------------------
FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
               response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/msword");
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
               response.setHeader("Expires","0");
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
               response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
               ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
               os.write(getLcDoc().getBytes("ATTACH"));
               os.flush();
               os.close();

I have a problem with opening PDF files downloaded from anywhere!

I can view them ok in Safari, but when I save and download them, they are displayed with the Preview image and will not open.
When I click them, a message says that 'the file may be damaged or not recognised by Preview'.
I have cleaned up my computer (apple help ) but still, the problem remains. I downloaded the same file to my MacBook pro, and it saved it in the usual PDF format, (completely different image from above), and opened perfectly well.
I have checked the settings in Preview and they seem to be set correctly so that Preview will open PDF files.
What next?
I am desperate!

See if you can delete any Adobe PDF plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/. Then quit and re-open your web browser and try again.

Problem with opening pdf files in Explorer

I'm trying to use a button to open a pdf file. It's always
worked in the past, but now I'm receiving an "object error" and the
pdf is not loading. Does anyone know if this is a problem with the
new version of Internet Explorer? Any work arounds?
Here's my code:
on (release) {
getURL("NameofDoc.pdf", "_blank");
}

Hi,
1. It's Adobe Reader XI, ver 11.0.08
I guess the version of the plug-in corresponds with the version of the reader itself?
2. "Page cannot be displayed", mostly

Does anyone have a problem with opening PDF files in iBook after updating the program recently

I need to try to open the pdf file a few times before it goes in iBook.
It is making me look like a fool cos I use iBook for my presentation to my clients

I'm presumably having a similar problem with pdf's in ibook. It seemed to work fine until about two updates ago. We're using ipad II's with ibook (latest version as of today) for our board of director's reports. These are sometimes several hundred pages and password protected pdf's. Now the more whiney members of the board are *******' at me, so I need to find a solution relatively quickly. Is there a way to back off the updates?
What it does.
When a PDF is chosen to open from the library, ibook open a "blank" file -- showing only the ibook background.
One can try closing and re-opening the PDF and after three or four times it'll open -- seems to be random.
These PDFs are created in Adobe Acrobat 9.

Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet. When
I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle. We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8. We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
Hope this helps!

Problem with open PDF files

update I did, as you've mentioned, and now it works - let's say in 95% When I receive an e-mail with PDF, I hit "save", and right away I cannot open the file. However, when I will go back to e-mails list, and wiev once again the same e-mail, I can see the PDF directly from the level of mail. Bit strange, however big improvement comparing to the former situation. Perhaps there is some kind of bug in stock e-mail app?

Hi, I have following problem with my Xperia Z3:- when I receive the e-mail with PDF as attachement, I can just save it, but cannot open it. It says: "you have no application installed, please install one.."- when I save the file, and open it from File Manager, I can easily open it with Acrobat, Foxit or any other. There's no problem- when I try to do the same directly from "Downloaded" apps, again I cannot open it As I receive some part of e-mails with PDF's, the best way would be to open them directly after saving from e-mail client. Saving them, and then going to File Manager to open makes it more complicated. Do you know, what can be the problem here? It concern stock e-mail client, Android 5.0 Hope you may know some solution

Issues with opening PDF in browser

I am trying to open a pdf in my browser but it will only save or save as. I need it to open in my browser as I need to complete the areas allowed and save/send back.
I looked in the Reader and it shows Web Browser options is correct. I have Windows 7 and IE9. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it is 64-bit. Windows will not let me open/download the 32 bit. Any way around this? I need to do this on a daily basis to where I will need to buy another computer if no way around. Thanks for the help!

HT5568 problems with opening PDF files on safari

in Safari i am not able to view pdf pages when i open link through wed pages, i have to first save it to my desktop and then open to see the pdf files. I have another macbook where i do not have this problem. any solution to this would be great help

If you want to open a PDF file within Safari, you have two choices. You need to place either item 1 or items 2 in your /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.
Apple Quartz Composer.webplugin
Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 PDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViwerNPAPI.plugin
Your actions are, again either item 1 or item 2:
Get a copy of the Apple Quartz Composer webplugin from someone else with the same exact OS X version as you (or reinstall OS X).
Place in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Permission: 755 root:wheel
Download and install the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 version for OS XThe installation will place the above Adobe PDF plugins in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
If the Apple and Adobe plug-ins co-reside, the Adobe PDF plug-in will overide the Apple Quartz Composer plugin.
The Adobe PDF viewer has more functionality and is compatible with the latest Safari 6 releases.

How to fix problem with opening pdfs in Windows 8.1 with Adobe Reader XI?

Every time I try to open a pdf on my new laptop with Adobe Reader XI, I get a message than either the file is not supported or its damaged. But it still opens fine on my old laptop with Windows 7.
Any suggestions?@

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Upon further investigation, it appears that the original pdfs I was transferring from my old computer to my new one were “grayed out” on the flash drive, so they wouldn’t open on the new laptop. When I went back and reloaded the pdfs again, they weren’t grayed out, and now everything’s working fine. But again, thanks so much for making the effort to help. I really appreciate it.

Strange problem with opening PDF's

Hello,
We have roughly 80 users at one location that use a terminal server session to access our medical software. A certain group of four users that share a network printer have issues within the medical software when they try to open a scanned in document in pdf form. What happens is that the pdf briefly appears, and then closes. Any re-attempt to open a pdf results in an error. The only way I have found to band-Aid the issue is deleted the users profile daily, forcing a new one to be created. I run a script daily that cleans out all the user profiles temp files, but the issue still occurs. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
We have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro installed on our terminal servers (this is the only version that is compatible with our medical software.)
Thanks!

First of all, this forum is about Adobe Reader, not Adobe Acrobat...
If I had to guess, I would say that your OS (which you didn't specify) is probably not compatible with your antiquated Acrobat version, which is why you're getting these errors.
Also, I'm not sure the way you're using Acrobat is conforming with the EULA, which stipulates it can't be used as a server application.

Problems with Adobe PDF in Browser?

When I attempt to open a PDF file on the web (Safari Mac user), I get a black screen and an error that says my file has been moved or deleted. I attempt to download the latest Adobe PDF Reader however get a notification that I cannot download from the internet I have to download from the app store. There isn't an adobe pdf reader in the app store. I don't know what to do! Someone, please help!!

Can you post a screenshot of that Print panel: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
It is possible that some system fonts (e.g. Segoe) are missing or corrupted.

Cannot open PDFs in browser in IE from Search Center

[SYSTEM]
SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, 2WFE, 2App, 1SQL
[ISSUE]
We have a problem with opening PDF files from search results in IE. I can open PDFs in the browser with Chrome and Firefox in all site collections as well as search results. If using IE10, I can open PDFs in browser everywhere except
the Search results page. Also, if I right click on a document in search results, and click "Open in new tab" or "Open in new window", then the pdf opens up in browser just fine. If I copy the URL and paste it into the address
box, the document will also open in browser with no problem.
The only way that the browser tries to open a pdf document in the client is when you click on the document directly in Search results. All other ways of opening the file yield the right result.
We really need PDFs to open in browser in IE. Please help.
[TROUBLESHOOTING DONE]
I set the Web Application Browser File Handling to Permissive from Central Administration.
I specified for files to open in the browser in Search Center preferences accessible from the bottom of the search results page.
I verified that "application/pdf" is an AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType
The Office Web Apps settings were modified to open PDFs in the default PDF reader rather than OWA.
