Reader 10 - PDF will not open in IE

I installed Reader X on a laptop at work with Win XP Pro. No problems; everything worked. I can read PDFs in IE.
I also installed Reader X on a desktop at home running Vista business. Reader X, itself, seems to work fine. I can open a PDF in Firefox which is installed on this computer. I cannot open a PDF in IE. It only wants me to download the pdf file. It doesn't open it in a window. Display PDF in Browser is checked in Internet Preferences/Web Browser Options. Manage Add-ons in IE shows both Adobe PDF Link Helper and Adobe PDF Reader add-ons as Enabled.
Does anyone have any idea what i can do to get this problem solved?

Some times the PDF is linked to a site that is NOT on the site your visiting. If this is the case, then BOTH web sites will have to be added to the Trusted Sites.
Did you try the second step?
The other fix I have found is to Uninstall Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash and IE8. Install CCleaner and run the program using the default settings. This removes any old registry connections for Adobe. Then reinstall IE8 and Adobe Acrobat or Reader. Then open Adobe to make sure that the Open PDF in Web Browser is unchecked. Then Install Flash. Then go to the website to open a PDF. The PDF should now open with Adobe.
See if you can open a PDF from a different website or sites.
If your on a network, and are using ISA make sure that ISA is not blocking the PDF's ie: add these sites to the trusted list in ISA.

Issue: installed Adobe Reader XI, Norwegian version, existing pdf will not open or appear empty

I have uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times, but I still have the same issue. Adobe automatically gives me the Norwegian version as I live in Norway. When I open existing pdf files they appear empty, and automatically close themselves after a few seconds.
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
Your input is highly appreciated!
Thank you.

Thank you so much for your swift response, Pat! The first step – accepting the Eula license agreement solved my problem ☺ ☺ ☺
Wish you a great day – you just helped making mine a lot better!

Weblinks pdfs will not open with recent install of Version X1?

Weblink pdfs will not open using the newly installed Adobe X1 version. How to fix?
Gives message suggesting problem with reader and ends with 103:103

Hi Gordon,
Can you please try opening the following PDF: http://samplepdf.com/sample.pdf.
Do try to open it in browser by clicking the abobe link and in Adobe Reader itself by Right-Click on link->"Save link as".
If you still getting these error, uninstall Reader using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and reinstall Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader.

Interactive PDF will not open online with IE

I have been using ID 5.0 for a year creating interactive PDF publications. All of the sudden the PDF will not open in any version of IE. Works fine with Chrome, Safari...
I have unistalled ID and reloaded but that did not help. I have changed versions of IE with no improvement.
Previous publications onlie still open fine, its just the current publication that has the issue.7y6
Anyone have any ideas?

That sounds more like a settings problem or missing plugin in IE than anything else.

I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I have Adobe Design CS6, suddenly a simple PDF will not open. Noting happens when I doubleclick either the file or try to open Adobe Acrobat X Pro ?

Hi Jenny, I just had to do that, for the 3rd time. It is a pity though when one pays for such expensive software that this happens, specifically when the only Adobe help is to tell you to post your problem on a forum and hope someone can help you. Not good enough and not what I expected when I bought it. I am so disappointed in Adobe.

My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly. Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

The joys of Microsoft!
Maybe the preferences file is corrupted. You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
your user name/Library/Preferences
Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again.
If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem. You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

PDFs will not open in Browser with Adobe Reader 9

I am using Vista Ultimate x64 (SP1) using IE7. I am using the 32-bit version of the browser. I have selected "Display PDF in browser" on the Internet settings tab of the Adobe Reader 9.
Every time I select a PDF document, it forces me to save the document to the hard drive and open it from the hard drive. It will not open the PDF in the browser. How do I fix this problem??
The above procedure did work in Windows XP (32-bit), but does not appear to work in Vista (64-bit).

I have a similar problem using Adobe Reader 9 with Vista 64. I am also using the 32 bit version of IE7. Every time I click on a pdf to open in IE7 the screen remains white without starting Adobe Reader 9 in IE7 browser window.
Using Adobe Reader independantly works without any problem. Only the IE7 plugin does not seem to work. I reinstalled Adobe Reader 9 but without any effect. Adobe Reader 8 works. How comes?

PDF will not open in my firefox browser although i have updated my jave and adobe, they open in internet explore

I recently downloaded the latest version of adobe reader, jave and the newest firefox version. I think 3.6.4 (but i could be mistaken). Ever since my firefox updated today 3/8/10 it has stopped opening pdf's in browser. All i see is a blank screen or sometimes just the loading blue bar. It will not open. I do not have this problem when i try an open the same files using internet explorer.

See if the solutions in this article help to solve your problem: [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]. For more information on using Adobe within Firefox, see [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].

Converting DOC to PDF - will not open

I have the Adobe creative suite 4 Design Standard, and with that comes Adobe Acrobat Pro ( I updated the newest version 9.2.0). I have been using this program for two years and have never had any issues. Then my computer was stolen last week, I got my CD's and serial number and uploaded the Adobe CS4 to my new MAC OSX 10.6.7 computer and have had several issues. The first most major issue is that when I convert word DOC to PDF (either by "saving as" or by "print as PDF" both do the same thing) and it will show as though it saves to my desktop, but then when I click on the PDF it will not open. Just a blank document - and it is a very small document under 1 MB there is no reason why it shouldn't be working. On my old Mac I never had any issues with this and now I am. The Adobe service center said they charge to answer me because its not the newest version of CS5. Worthless.... can someone help?? I would be SO greatful! thanks.

There are problems with fonts and pdfs in OS X.6.7. Also Acrobat 9.2 is not the latest version of Acrobat. Try updating to Acrobat 9.4.3.

Pdf will not open

My HP Officejet 4632, set up wirelessly, will scan and open in some applications (Adobe) but will not open in all applications (PDFTypewriter). I did not have this problem on my older HP 5300 scanner. Is there a newer PDF format?

Hi,
Thanks for reporting the issue. It looks like comaptiblity issue in PDF.
You can try following things. It may help to fix the probelm.
1. Download the latest Acrobat reader and install it
2. Look for new updates from PDFTypewriter and install it if any.
3. Enable the windows update and updates your system with latest patches from windows.
Restart the PC, do a scan and see whether it works.
Happy Printing

Adobe Reader 9.3 will not open in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

We are currently running Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Version 8.2.0 with Acrobat Distiller 8 and Adobe Live Cycle Disigner 8.0. I have downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3, but it still will not open 9.3 documents it defaults to the Reader 8 and I get an error message.
How do I change the default Reader to 9.3 or do I have to buy the upgrade for Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 in order to be able to open and use on-line forms that require 9.3?
Help!

Well that is my question, we have a fully authorized and purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro
8.
When I do an update for Adobe Acrobat 8, it does not install the updated Reader 9.3.
In order to update the Reader to 9.3, I have to install it seperately. It does that, but when I open 9.3 it defaults to the 8 Reader.
So I guess the answer to my question is that I have to update to the 9.3 full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, what a rip by Adobe just so we can use the newest "free" Reader.

Adobe Reader 9.1 will not open in OSX 10.5.7

Since loading the latest OSX 10.5.7 update I have not been able to open Adobe Reader. I have removed the version that I had (9.1) and downloaded a fresh copy but it makes no difference - Reader will not open at all. I have tried the reset - again it does not open. Any ideas?
Mac Book Pro 17 OSX 10.5.7

Try removing your cache. You can use Onyx or Applejack to do this.
