Reader X doesn't display Pdf stream if response contains header "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache"
Hi all,
I work on a web application that, among others, generates Pdf documents. It renders them directly within the IE window by "streaming" the content of the Pdf in the response output stream. Note that we also add the header "Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate,post-check=0, pre-check=0" to the response.
Everything was fine with previous version of reader but since I installed Adobe reader X the content of the Pdf is not showing any more in my browser.
Here is what I already investigated:
- if I use another machine with an "older" Reader version, it works. If I save the displayed Pdf and try to open it on the machine where X is installed it works
- if I remove the the Cache-Control header, then it works with reader X installation
Do you have any idea what changed between version 9 and X that could lead to this issue ?
To ease diagnostic I created a sandbox environment to reproduce the problem, you can go to the following address to see what's happening (or not in case you have version X installed)
With the Cache-Control header: http://readerxissue.appspot.com
Without the Cache-Control header: http://readerxissue.appspot.com/enableCache.html
I must confess that I am a bit stuck and I wonder if some of you could help.
Thanks a lot
Regards
Vincent
Hello,
We have semiliar problems in sweden with Adobe Reader X 10.1 Swe and Internet Explorer 8.0 with streamed PDF files.
We had some issues and got them resolved by the following
Upgraded to Adobe Reader 10.1.2.45 Eng
- Print Issue:http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-wont-print-reader-10.html
- Grey box in Internet explorer: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-opens-grey-screen-browser.html
- Add site as trusted: Edit-> Preferences, unbox Enable Enhanced Security + add the host/url to site that is whitelisted to send pdf files
(the Automaticly trust sites from mu Win OS security zones doesnt work for us)
The thing is we run MUI pack on our Citrix servers and want Adobe Reader in Swe but it havent been translated yet...
So we have to wait for the swedish release on Adobe Reader X 10.1.2
Thanks,

Windows 7 doesn't display pdf properties
Windows 7 doesn't display pdf properties/metadata, like title, comments, author, subject etc. This was a great feature in XP. Anybody know a workaround?
On this site is explained how to display the pdf properties in windows 7 explorer.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7files/thread/203b60ca-b773-4931-85ad-a5 e67656d6ce
steps:
open the file explorer in windows7
select libraries from the left navigation bar
right click on the libraries heading.
select "new" > "library"
give the library a name e.g. "sales orders".
press the button "include new folder" to select the folder where the pdf files are in. e.g. "D:\files\sales\orders\"
select (top-right) "arange by" and select e.g. "name".
you should now be able to see the pdf properties (don't forget to enable the subject etc. collums)
See picture..
Good luck!! -
Can Adobe reader on my iPad display PDFs with layers?
Can Adobe Reader on my iPad display PDFs with layers?
Hi,
Currently, Acrobat DC mobile products (for iOS and Android) do not support any changes to layer visibility. So you are not able to turn on or off layers in a PDF document using Acrobat DC for iOS.
Would you file a feature request?
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Our Product Management team will take your feature request into consideration for a future release.
Thank you. -
Adobe Reader 9.1 Disable Display PDF in browser
Is there a registry setting I tweek to uncheck the box for Display PDF In Browser? The only ones I could find grayed out the box but it didn't un check the box.
I'm just confirming what anhnguyen7902 posted.
This was tested against Acrobat Reader 9.3.1. I exported all of the registry keys from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\ with the "Display PDF in browser" setting enabled and disabled. Below are the only relevant differences when changing this setting from within Acrobat Reader.
With the setting enabled, keys under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals] are...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
"bHostBasedCM"=dword:00000001
"iPSLevel"=dword:00000000
"sProofingSpace"=hex:55,2e,53,2e,20,57,65,62,20,43,6f,61,74,65,64,20,28,53,57,4f,50,29,20, 76,32,00
"bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001
With this setting DISABLED, keys under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals] are...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals]
"bHostBasedCM"=dword:00000001
"iPSLevel"=dword:00000000
"sProofingSpace"=hex:55,2e,53,2e,20,57,65,62,20,43,6f,61,74,65,64,20,28,53,57,4f,50,29,20, 76,32,00
"bDisplayedSplash"=dword:00000001
"bBrowserIntegration"=dword:00000000
The difference being the bBrowserIntegration key being present and set to dword:00000000 when this option is DISABLED, but the key being completely removed when the setting is ENABLED.
While writing this post, I decided to test it against Acrobat Reader v4.2.1. The results were the same.
Hope this helps. -
Safari doesn't display pdf file from within Dropbox
When I click on a link on a web page that takes me to a pdf file located in a shared Dropbox folder, Safari only gives me a solid black page and doesn't open the pdf file. All the other browsers do, Chrome, Firefox and even IE. How can I fix this? I have Mountain Lion and the latest version of Safari. Pdf-plugin-244 is installed. I tried the suggestion in another posting about viewing pdf files in Safari, and it didn't fix the problem.
Pdf-plugin-244 is installed.
Test without it. -
Browser plugin sometimes doesn't display PDF, just a blank region
Hi,
I'm running Slackware 13.37 (32-bit), with Adobe Reader 9.4.2 and Firefox 5.0.1. I have the browser plugin installed, but sometimes it does not work. As in the thread title, the document fails to display, with just a black region appearing in the browser. Sometimes, if I refresh the page a number of times, I can get the document to display. Sometimes just waiting seems to help, but not always. This isn't restricted to one particular document. It happens (seemingly) at random. sometimes a given document will display in the browser, but not at others. I can't seem to reproduce the problem consistently, making it harder to fix, I suppose. This does not seem to be a problem with my Firefox profile; I started with a new profile and the problem still occurs. The Firefox error console gives no messages pertaining to the problem :/.
Any ideas?
Thanks.I'm seeing the same on 32-bit Fedora 15 with:
firefox-6.0.2-1.fc15.i686
nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-1.fc15.i686
AdobeReader_enu-9.4.2-1.i486
If I kill any pdf plugin process like the following:

then it works again. I'm going to try running without the wrapper for a bit. Won't help my 64-bit users though. -

How do I remove a button on SmartForm so that Reader 7 doesn't display it?
Hello,
Trying to permanently remove a button instead of simply changing its property to hide it. Problem is that when a PDF that was processed in Adobe Reader 9 or 8, the hidden buttons actually display and are active, even though they were locked down prior to saving the final version of the form. Thanks for your help!
-VenI created some forms & tested them on Reader 8 & 9, where these two buttons don't display because I disabled them via presence property. Problem is that same forms display buttons & somewhat work in Reader 7. Thanks!

Firefox doesn't display PDFs in browser all of a sudden
I noticed earlier that all of a sudden I can't view PDFs files in Firefox. I tried plugins, updating Firefox and everything on my Mac, and any other options I could find but nothing seems to work. I installed the recommended plugin for viewing pdfs, but it just views a blank white page (instead of "missing plugin" that, when clicked, didn't give me any information).

Firefox 33 doesn't display a pdf file when using the response object

How do I restore IE to use Reader for displaying PDF files?
When I updated PDF Creator, it also updated PDF Architect which went and installed itself in IE as the PDF reader. How do I change IE back to using Reader for displaying PDFs?
In IE, I disabled the "PDF Architect Internet Explorer Previewer" under "Manage Addons". Now, IE doesn't display PDFs at all. I also looked in Change PC Settings | Search and Apps | Defaults and Reader is still the
listed as the default app for .PDF files.
The version of Windows on this machine is Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Thanks,

If PDF, XPS, or TIFF files are opening in another app, you can tell Windows to use Reader instead. Here's how:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click
Settings.)
Tap or click Change PC settings.
Tap or click Search and apps, and then tap or click Defaults.
Tap or click Choose default apps by file type (you might need to scroll down to the bottom of the screen to see this option).
Under Name, scroll down until you see .pdf.
Tap or click the name of the app that appears to the right of .pdf, and then under
Choose an app, tap or click Reader.
Repeat this for each type of file that you want to open in Reader (for example, .oxps, .xps, or .tiff).
If not there, or you accidently remove it, try to download here

Can't uncheck 'display PDF in browser using' on mac
Reader 10.0.0
'display PDF in browser using' in the Internet preferences is stuck on to Adobe Reader. The checkbox is checked/disabled, and cannot be unchecked.
Also, viewing a PDF in the browser via FTP sticks the entire browser (hence my reason for noticing/disabling this plugin)
Had to remove the plugin file from file:///Library/Internet%20Plug-Ins/ to remove.Hi,
Firstly during the installation of Reader X, there is an option of Customize Install. You can uncheck the Safari browser plugin from there. But this was possible before install. Now since you have installed in default mode (with above option checked during install) the method to disable plugin is as follows:
To disable the plugin-
1. Go to Library > Internet Plug-Ins
2. You will see AdobePDFViewer.plugin in the list of plugins
3. Create a new folder called Disabled Plug-Ins
4. Move the AdobePDFViewer plugin into the Disabled Plug-Ins folder
5. Restart Safari
In future if you want to re-enable this then you can put this plugin back to its original location or Reinstall Reader X (if you have permanently deleted the plug-in from your system). Reinstallation works as installing in repair mode.
AcrobatX/ReaderX uses MANAGED installation method on Mac(as compared to MANUAL installation method used in earlier versions). In case of manual installation method installation and repair was dependent on "Self heal" mechanism that required the admin privileges each time it was invoked. This raised a bit of concern so to remove this Adobe now uses Managed installation method and discontinued Self Heal mechanism.
