Reader X "opens" a pdf file online as a blank page. Why? Using vista.

While opening a routine bank statement (pdf) online today, I was prompted to delete Acrobat since it was no longer working, and to go to acrobat.com. I did so (I did not download any of the acrobat versions as a financial decision). At this point I was no longer able to open the pdf file. I updated Adobe Reader to Reader X. Still no luck. I tried the repair feature. No luck. I deleted Reader X and reinstalled it. No luck. The pdf still comes up as a blank page. I tried all but the most technical fixes on the Reader help and support site. No luck. I also deleted Acrobat Air and downloaded the latest version. I'm not a whiz at this, but it doesn't take a whiz to know Reader X ain't a-workin. Online tech support with Adobe couldn't solve the proplem. What kind of product is this Reader X? Help!!!

Things are still not right online with Wells Fargo/Adobe pdf's. I have uninstalled all versions of Adobe Reader, AIR, and Flash Player, and have downloaded the new versions. I did the flash player a few minutes ago when trying to watch a YouTube video sent via email and I received a prompt telling me I needed to upgrade Adobe Flash Player.When I access the list of Bank statements for what I call my main account ( I have two checking, two savings, and one Visa accounts with this bank) the list of ten or so monthly accounts for this "main account" appears. I can click on any one of them, get a blank pdf, click on the refresh button, then the pdf appears; one of the savings accounts is on this same statement.
If I bring up the other checking account or the other savings account, the only entry on the monthly list that pertains to that account is the second one on the list. All the other months are still from the "main account". I can bring up any of those monthly pdf's via the refresh button route.
The Visa account monthly list is good, but I have to click on refresh to view the pdf.
The pdf statements from US Bank work fine.

Safari opens my PDF files but it's blank. Why?

I use safari and I was trying to open a PDF file on my schools website. When the page came up (still in safari) it was blank. Why? I haven't changed anything that I know of.

Hi...
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements). I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled. I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files. No problem viewing acrobat files. I'm runnnig Windows 7, IE9. I can acces them through Chrome.

RESOLVED
I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
1) - Libre Office - latest update. This is a fork of Open Office. (unlikely)
2) - ManyCam video manipulation software (likely)
Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive. When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!). When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
This resolved the problem 100%.
So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems. They may be running or installing an older version. In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project. Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well. In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens. In my case that fixed the problem.

How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file?

How can I hide page thumbnails navigation bar at the start up of Adobe Reader and open a pdf file? I could not find this option under Preferences tab? Thanks

Hey there,
Thanks for your reply. That works for the files I do what you said. However, for files I have not done that, It still shows the navigation bar. Any idea, how to do it default for any files?
Thanks agian

I DL ver 9,10,11 of Free Adobe Reader - cannot open any PDF file.

I get an error message "The instructions at xxxx referenced memory at xxxx. The memory could not be written." What is wrong?

tI did as you instructed and got no good results. I even restored my Adobe files from several weeks ago from Carbonite and could not load Adobe REader nor open any PDF file that I was previously able to open.
When I try to open a PDF file, I get a web page that has two panes. One pane on the left has a red box area with some options. The pane on the right is grey and has some options. The web page disappears after about 5 seconds so I can't read it all.
I tried opening three files after reinstalling Adobe Reader and after restoring my Adobe files. One folder that I restored as "Cache" and had a file inside called "AcrobatFnt11 then another file called AdobeCMapFnt11 and the other file called AdobeSysFnt11.
I'm extremely anxious to be able to open and load all my PDF files like I was able to for years before.
Thank you.

Suddenly Can't Open PDFs in Firefox. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab. Nice timing, with finals and everything where I need to view PDFs of practice tests.

Mozilla Firefox did not do their job, here. I am an editor and am constantly online. Now, I have to go to Safari to download PDFs. I reinstalled an earlier version of Firefox to get rid of the problem, but somehow Firefox has deactivated my PDF download feature. This is a total wreck and I am so angry I could spit. Stop launching new products until you have fully tested them. Customers are not your guinea pigs. Please fix this now- and fire a few idiots on the way- the ones who let this happen.

Repeated Error Message with Adobe Reader after opening up PDF files

After experiencing this problem, not being that computer savvy I figured I'd remove the existing Adobe Reader from my computer and download a new version in the hopes of eliminating the problem. When I do so, I get message "The patch package could not be opened. verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Patch Package."

Ankit,
Here are my responses as best as I can address them:
1. Adobe 10.0.1
2. I believe it is Windows XP
3. I was unable to remove the existing Adobe version because of the "patch
package could not be opened......" I believe i may have inadvertently
downloaded this patch via www.secunia.ocom "Personal Software Inspector"
program (Untitled (1)).. Using the older version alone when opening up PDF
documents resulting in their closing and my getting an error message
("Untitled and Untitled (2))..
4. I was able to successfully download Adobe 10.1.0. However, it won't allow
me to download required updates.
As a result of this mess, I have the 2 versions of Adobe on my computer,
which is allowing me to open up PDF files on my computere.
Again, I'm not terribly computer savvy. I'm simply trying to find a way to
remove the old version and work with the new version.
Hope this helps, as I'm stumped. Thanx for your assistance.

Adobe Reader cannot open certain pdf files

I have downloaded the adobe reader but it still cannot open some pdf files although it can open a general pdf file. I need help to be able to open a specific pdf file.

Hi Jocelyn,
Would it be possible to share the pdf file with me so that I can have a look.

Doesn't open the PDF file (i.e. articles, books pages). It appears a black page. Thanks for help

Safari doesn't open the PDF file (articles, book page, etc). It appears a black page. Before that it was working perfectly. Thank for your help

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin (or anything Adobe related) in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

When I open firefox, it opens a pdf file as well as home page - how do i stop this?

Since upgrading to v5, when I open firefox, it opens a pdf file as well as my home page. I cannot see any setting or fields in "options" that can be causing this - how do i stop the pdf from opening?

Why didn't you remove all three prefs.js files?
You may have left one file prefs.js that is causing the problems.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Is there any other solution for Adobe Flash plugin crashing than the posted one about updating Flash and Mozilla? I cannot open any PDF files online and updated both Mozilla and Flash player to most recent with no change in the crashing.

I was able to open PDFs online until version 8. Since upgrading to version 9 and now 10, I have crashes every time I try to open a PDF online and can see the form briefly for about two seconds before the plugin crashes. I followed instructions on the solution to update Adobe Flash and Mozilla, and they are both to the most recent version and it still crashes every time, no dent in the symptoms with the upgrades. I tried also downgrading to version 3, and it sill crashes. Although in some cases I can get around by saving the PDFs for reading them through Acrobat on my PC, it is a hassle as I do not want to save everything to my drive just to see what it is, plus sometimes forms are generated on a click and I cannot see these forms at all.
I had to migrate to Chrome as I needed the PDFs and could not wait any longer - any suggestions to make Mozilla work again would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] after enabling only the PDF plugin in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''. You can also '''Disable''' the PDF plugin and try an alternative, for eg. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/?src=cb-dl-created pdf.js].

Reinstall of Reader - Cannot open Adobe PDF files

I uninstalled Reader thinking I would just open everything in Acrobat. WRONG! I reinstalled Reader but cannot open any of my Adobe PDF files. What do I do?

Claudio,
Windows 7 Professional. Latest Reader Version was uninstalled and then reinstalled. No error messages. But a window opens up that says:
Attachment: 8x8fax.pdf from Inbox - [email address removed] - Microsoft Outlook
Would you like to open or save to your computer?
Clicking on the Open Box does nothing. I can forward to another computer and open the pdf from there but that is a pain.
