Problems opening a pdf in Chrome since I upgraded to acrobat reader dc

I have been unable to open a file using Chrome since I upgraded from Reader XI to Reader DC. Instead of opening the file in Chrome, it wants me to save the file onto my hard drive, from where I can then open it using reader dc.
This is true for both of my Windows 8.1 PCs.
I CAN still open a pdf from Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Starting in Chrome 42, NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader will no longer work nor be shown in the chrome://plugins page.

The Chromium team has decided to remove support for NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader. Here's a blog post that describes their decision - http://blog.chromium.org/2014/11/the-final-countdown-for-npapi.html
To view PDF files in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, we recommend that you download the file in Chrome and open it from your desktop.

Hi George ,
Is it happening with all the PDF' or any specific one?
Could you please share the error message so that we can replicate at our end ?
Try repairing reader once and see if that fixes the issue.

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 crashes every time I open a PDF. I see the grey box saying Reading Untagged Do

Adobe Reader 11.0.03 crashes every time I open a PDF. I see the grey box saying Reading Untagged Document then it crashes with the message that Acrobat is not responding. I have Windows 7 Professional. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several times. What should I do?

Hi,
Could you please let us know if you are using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader? If so, can you please temporarily remove the same and see if you are facing the same issue.
If you are not sure about the same, please do the following:
1. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
2. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
3. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Also, it would be great if you could let us know if the issue is PDF specific or does the issue happen with all documents. Do you observe the same issue with the below mentioned PDF as well:

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Problems opening & printing pdf files created on a Mac

I am at my wit's end! I recently upgraded to a new version of Acrobat and suddenly a lot of my clients could no longer open my pdf files. I uninstalled the latest version of Acrobat and reinstalled an older version (Acrobat 8.1.3). Some clients started being able to open my pdf files but others could not. So I started using the Acrobat Share server and sending links. Some of my clients cannot open those either and many cannot print even if they can open the files that way. I personally also cannot print from the Acrobat Share server. The pdf files print out with all the surrounding graphics and application design elements. I also can't open the pdf files that I created on my Mac using my PC laptop running Vista. I have tried opening and printing both pdf files and the Acrobat Share links from my Mac and my PC laptop running Vista, to no avail.
I was under the impression that compatibility problems between Macs and PCs were largely a thing of the past. I was also under the impression that the whole point of exchanging pdf files was that pdf files are cross-platform compatible. Not only am I am losing tons of valuable time, I may be losing credibility with my clients (especially since I have an IT background). I desperately need to know what version of Acrobat I should be running on my Mac so that when I scan documents into my Mac, the pdf files that are created are completely 100% compatible with both Mac and PC operating systems regardless of what operating system and what version of Acrobat my clients are running. I also need to be sure that those same pdf files I create on my Mac can be seemlessly printed out from either a Mac or PC regardless of the operating system or Acrobat Reader version. If anyone can help me get to the bottom of this, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.

This file downloaded and works fine for me in Preview on both OS X 10.5.7 and 10.4.11 (and opens in Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 and 8.1.5, and the latest version of Reader on both versions of the OS). As expected.
If you're printing from Acrobat.com by right clicking in the image area and selecting Print, don't. This isn't printing the PDF, it's printing the Flash frame that contains, as you've noticed, buttons and other elements. (Adobe's Mac Flash plugin is notoriously buggy.) Direct your clients to download the file by selecting the download button, not by right clicking and printing.
Again, your PDF file is fine.

Problems opening some PDF's with new version of Adobe Reader X

Ever since the latest update for adobe reader has come out I have been unable to open some PDF's. This was never an issue with the older version. When I try to open certain PDF's the reader says "Not Responding" and nothing happens. This does not happen on all PDF's, just some.

Ditto on Darrenz16's problem. New WIN7-64 Home Premiun system with Adobe Reader 10.1.2. Reads several files, then starts locking up when I try opening new files. Seems like Reader is failing to release some resource and eventually running out of whatever it is. Rebooting seems to help temporarily. Never had this problem on previous systems. A set of good examples are the .pdf files at the bottom of this page: http://www.hussman.net/weeklyMarketComment.html
I can open a few, but then Reader locks up trying to download the files.

Problems opening a PDF in Acro Reader 8 with BuddyAPI?

I apologize in advance for not having enough information to
properly diagnosis this situation, I’m encountering
considerable resistance from others in my company to go back to the
client and ask for additional details, but here’s the
situation:
We’ve got a project out in the field that opens PDF
files using BuddyAPI (code below) … it worked fine when the
client machines were all using Acro Reader 7.x Some time during the
year the client’s IT department upgraded everyone to Acro
Reader 8.x, now it works on some machines and not on others. I
don’t know how many machines it doesn’t work on, at
least one, probably two (vs 4000 copies of the project out in the
field). What do I mean by “doesn’t work”
…well, I’m not really sure … when I ask if the
client can open the PDFs directly, outside of our app, I get an
answer similar to “yeah, they must have tried that …
just post the question on the forum” … I also
don’t know if an error is generated, I’m told simply
the PDFs don’t open, although if an error were generated I
would think someone would mention it. Sorry to vent, I know
it’s not much to work with, but if someone else has a similar
problem I’d love to know about it.
BTW: I’ve got 3 machines here in the office all with
Acro Reader 8, works fine on all of them.

Hi all,
I just posted this in anotehr thread dealing with the same
issue.
I have emailed Gary who develops the Buddy API Xtra and he
did some
testing and this is what he reported.
It seems that when Adobe install Reader 8.0, they don't
implement an
'Open' association, but a 'Read' one. If you right click on a
.pdf file
you will see that the actions available don't include Open.
Now, this
should only affect people using an older version of Buddy,
that was
something changed for Acrobat 7 and .fdf files, so that if
there wasn't
a Open action, it used the default one instead. So the best
option is to
use the current version of Buddy. But to make it work with
programs
still older buddy that can't be changed, it should be
possible to write
a .reg script or updater to add the Open command to the list
of actions,
then older version of buddy will work. You can use this
script in a
projector to update the registry so that pdf files will open.
So that
could be used in a updater projector.
on setAcroOpenReg
str = baReadRegString(
"Applications\AcroRD32.exe\shell\Read\command",
"", "", "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" )
if length( str ) > 0 then
baWriteRegString(
"Applications\AcroRD32.exe\shell\Open\command",
"", str, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" )
end if
end
Hope that helps.

Captivate Facing Problem - Opening a PDF

Hi,
I am using Captivate 4.0. I have developed a course which has a link to open a PDF file.
I have created a link and also I am able to open the PDF, but the problem is it is opening in a new browser window. I want the PDF to open in a new tab in the same parent window.
Pl. help me in resolving this issue
Thanks

There is no way to do that from within Captivate so you can only open it as a new window.
If I am not mistaken there is a new property in CSS3 that allows you to open a new tab, but this would require that you have pretty good experience with writing HTML, CSS and JavaScript to make it work. You could then write a JavaScript function that will open your PDF and in Captivate have a button that calls that JavaScript function when the user clicks on it.
It would be a lot of trouble just to get a new tab though and you should also keep in mind that this would fail in all non-CSS3 compliant browsers.

Problem opening online PDF link/file

Every time I try to open a PDF link, I get an error message saying it's not opening because it's either not a supported file type or it's damaged. I have tried opening it with Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox to no avail. I also considered whether or not I had the wrong Adobe Reader version but I believe it's up-to-date. If anyone could shed some light on this issue, I'd be very grateful.

Hi Gilad and Pat!
Your suggestions were helpful and it's worked for some of the files that were not opening but the 'application form' which is the most important one is still not working.

Problem opening a pdf

Hello,
I have received an offer regarding some real estate plans from Sternon Intercity but i can't open the pdf. As I was told, there are some large pictures there, can that be the problem? It just says corrupt file and nothing else happens. Does anyone have a clue what i should do about that?
Many thanks,
Taylor

If I understand you correctly, I would say you have a file associations problem.Unfortunately, I don't know how to correct this in Wndows, but similar questions have been posted many times.
And next time you have a new question, open a new thread for it.

I am having problems opening some PDF docs on my Mac Book Pro?

I am having problems opening PDF documents, I have already checked and I do not have my pop up blocker on, Is there an app that I need to get? I just bought my MacBook Pro and love it but need to get it set up and this is on of the things I am having a problem with. Any advice?
Thanks Kimberly

Is this a problem opening pdf documents in a Safari browser window? If so, you'll need to download Adobe Reader. It will install the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in". For opening pdf files off-line, I also recommend Reader - Preview will choke on forms sometimes.

I have problem opening a PDF file in my GP process

Hi,
I am using an interactive form/file approval callable object in my process. I created a callable object of type interactive form(IF) outside the process(this will start the process). I mapped the interactive form contents.... I download the form, fill it and submit. When I run my task, I see only the two buttons(document accepted and document rejected). I don't see the PDF (attachment).
From the forums, I realized that there is a bug in Adobe Acrobat Professional version 7.0 in viewing the PDF. So I downloaded Acrobat Prof (TRY) 8.0. With this version, I was able to see PDF in the action along with the two buttons I mentioned. But I am unable to open this PDF to see the data(to review my data).
Can somebody suggest what I should do. Is there anything I am missing here.
I did not see any examples where this type of CO is used/implemented.
Thanks in advance
Sandy P

Hi,
I got it working.
