Terminal Services pdf files not opening from websites

Since installing the latest version 11.0.0.1, users who are inside Terminal Services cannot open up any pdf files from any websites. Opening up pdf attachments from emails etc is not an issue. But when accessing a pdf file online, it will not display. Outside of Terminal Services, the desktop can display the same pdf file just fine. But our users are mainly inside Terminal Services and I need to find a solution to this issue. Thanks.

Please let us know the following details:
1. The browser being used to view the PDFs.
2. Are the PDFs being hosted on a local server or on a public site. Can you try and see if the following PDF is rendered successfully at your end:
http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/kb/en/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_Releas eNote_10.1.2.pdf
3. Are you on a Citrix server. If so, could you let us know the exact version of the Xenapp server being used.

How do I get pdf file to open from websites?

When I click on a pdf file to open from a website, Explorer tries to open the pdf, but reloads the page then errors out. I am running XP pro with the Adobe Reader X. I have tried to uninstall reader and re-install. My registry is using the correct file. The associates show reader as the default program. I don't know where else to look.
Thanks for your help.

What is your Adobe Reader version and your browser. If you are using Internet Explorer, use it in 32-bit mode.

Tricky - PDF file not Opening from Web Browser based application

Hi Guys,
Just a brief history about the issue:
At my client site everything was fine when IE7 was there and everybody were able to open PDF files from web applications in browsers. But after a IE8 upgrade, things changed and customers are facing problems. All are Windows XP SP3 machines
Issue: If they try to open a pdf file from the browser it just stucks at 0% and hangs with "Cancel" button. Even if they try to save that file it tell downloading and hangs again in the screen without downloading the file.
Initial fix:
Open Adobe Reader
-> select the menu "Edit"
-> select "Preferences"
-> select the Category "Internet"
-> set the indicator "Display PDF in browser"
-> Reboot the machine
This fix worrked for some people but many user are still experiencing the same thing even after changing the setting many times.
Friends, Is there anything else might be creating the trouble here. Please let me know, and why it is that for some systems it is working and for it is not ?
Thanks,

There was a browser bug with IE in the past that seemed to span several browser versions. It had to do with the interaction of the browser and the webserver. The short version is that I had to toggle the caching option on the folder.
Here's what I ended up doing for my client:
Move their PDF documents into a subfolder called forms and all Flash animations into a subfolder called flash
Marked all folders in the site to "Expire Immediately" (IIS -> highlight root folder -> Properties)
Individually marked the "/forms" and "/flash" folders to toggle this caching option
In this way, it allowed dynamic pages to deliver non-cached content (from the server's perspective) and it allowed binary downloads like Flash animations and PDF files to work as expected without errors. The bug has to do with the cache-negotiation handshaking that goes on between the browser and server.
This may not be what you're seeing but it's good to remember because I've seen it often: the settings that you'd use to optimize a web applications don't seem to work for binary downloads like a PDF document.

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Pdf file not opening on pushing fdf file with F key in Adobe Reader

Well i am a novice developer in case of PDF Development.
The problem which i am facing is:-
In our application a PDF document submits the data to server and server sends back FDF to client with f key as http path of PDF which is present on web server.
This all works well in acrobat professional 7.0 but in abobe reader 8.0 the PDF file doesn't open up on pushing FDF.
On debugging the problem i found out that if server sends response within 480 milliseconds then reader is showing the pdf otherwise it don't shows up.Since in our application it will always take more than this time because of several operation performed to serve the request posted to server,So the
PDF will never show up in case of reader.
I was unable to understand what make it special in acrobat professional that session lasts more than 480 milliseconds whereas in reader the session doesn't last that long.
I really need uregent help on this.
Thanks in advance for help.

.pdf file not opening in Illustrator CS5

All of a sudden, I cannot get ,pdf files to open in Illustrator CS5. what would cause this?
Thanks

Jeremy,
Or you may go further down the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Pdf files not opening in Adobe Reader

As of 3weeks ago, all of my Pdf files are opening in Corel X3. How can I fix this?

tdanfield wrote:
the uninstall and re-install may work, but i'm not sure that it's the "easiest" way. it's not difficult, and it's good to know in general how to "associate" a program with a certain type of file as noted above. that approach is more "universal" and "applicable" for nearly all future needs.
That may be correct for advanced users, especially if they know that they may also need to re-associate other Adobe Reader file types such as FDF, PDFX, PDX, etc.

Hi Bala,
If you go to transaction SE80 -> Repository Information System -> Other objects -> Transactions and you search for SOAMANAGER, you get into the screen where you can modify attributes for this transaction. Please check if there are strange values entered in there... Or maybe SAPGUI for HTML is not selected.
Kind regards,

Pdf file not loading to website

I created a newsletter in pages, saved it as a pdf and emailed it to our web person. They have a pc with microsoft windows. They can open the document & read it just fine, but can't get it to upload to the website. Has anyone else come across this problem going from mac to pc? If I save the document as an rtf or word doc all the formatting becomes messed up. Is there something else I should be doing?

Hi putterblade
Welcome to the forum.
A .pdf file is like any other file, it needs to be saved to a location on the server which is referred to by an .url or .html reference in the website code.
Both tasks are elementary. Get your "web person" to clarify what they think is not going right.

PDFs won't open from websites

I can no longer open PDFs from websites. Can still do so when they are sent to me in emails. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader twice. Still no luck. When I click on the PDF another 'page' opens but it remains white (blank). I am operating Windows 7. Kepersky security and Internet Explorer.

Thanks Pat for your response. didn't work but I finally found the solution on another Forum. The problem is with Internet Explorer 9 and the solutions was:
"LAST EDIT - Not sure why this did not happen before but maybe it was an IE9 Update - If you to go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and scroll to the bottom there is a check box for "Do not save encrypted files to disk" that Microsoft thought needed to be checked. However, if the file is encyrpted and the block is checked you can neither see it or download it. Worked like a charm when that block is unchecked. So nothing to do with Adobe, all to do with IE9."
Worked for me too!

Why are my ".pdf" files not opening in Creative Cloud? The tumbril shows up as a blank page!

I just switched over from Adobe Acrobat Cloud to Creative Cloud; a tedious task. Most of my files open up fine, but some of them show up as a blank page thumb nail. They do have ".pdf" extension. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the issue?
Ty

@masood131 - A few questions:
Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

PDF file Not opening in Main Table

Hi,
I have added PDF lookup field in my main Table in console.

I m able to open PDF file only in PDF table & not in main table.

Hi Maheshwari,
I have added PDF lookup field in my main Table in console.
I m able to import PDF file in PDF table ( after making Allow Invalid PDFs as YES)
I have also imported PDF file in Main table field.
But here PDF file is not opening.
You can link the pdf to the Main tabel record by two ways:
1. Using Import Manager
2. Using Data Manager itself.
I have just tried it by the second way and I am able to open the Pdf in the Main Table itself.
PLease follow these step below:
1. Import the Pdf in the Pdf table and store the Pdf in the repository itself by choosing the Option - +Store in Repository+
2.Go to Main Table and double click on the Look up field on the right side. GO to the Data Group Tab and add the Data Group you have created.
3. Then choose the pdf you want to choose for that particular main table record. You will find the PDf getting attached in the Main Table Record.
4. Now try and open the Pdf, HopefullyYou will find it opening in the Main Table itself .
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

Why do some pdf files not open with Adobe Reader X, most open OK?

On my wife's 64 bit WIN 7 computer, a some pdf files will not open, but most open OK.
She uses Acrobat Reader X and MS Office 2010.
The same problem files open with no problem on my very similar computer.
Is the problem with some setting on the Acrobat Reader or something else?
Sometimes there is this error message when the problem files do not open:
Find Click2run64.msi file to install MS Office Click to Run.
But MS Office Click to Run is already installed on her PC. It is not on my PC.
Thanks for your help.

The latest Reader is 11.0.01, not 11.0.1. It is named Adobe Reader XI.
I did uninstall the Reader X and installed this latest one.
But it did not solve the problem, still could not open the problem pdf's .
I did find the problem was caused by the MS Office Click to Run error referred to in my original message. As far as I know we have no use for that on my wife's computer. Not sure how it got there. I uninstalled it and so far the problem pdf's open fine now. Problem solved.
Thanks for your help.
