To view 3D PDF files in a browser, I need to have locally installed readers for desktop and mobile?

Hello,
I am checking to see how to best provide viewing of 3D PDF files for browsers running on desktops as well as iOS and Android.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Hanson

Yes, you need locally installed Readers.

  • What can I do to rectify the situation in which Firefox will not open pdf files in the browser, even though I have already used all the help suggestions to no avail?

    I have tried everything Mozilla has suggested. Still when I click on a pdf, I get the message that the browser cannot open a pdf. I have gone through the help protocol, and it does not work.
    I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, and still not able to open pdf files within the browser.
    What else do I do, except go to IE or Chrome and just leave Firefox completely???

    A possible cause is the presence of a PDF plugin from an older Adobe Reader plugin in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.

  • I can't open a pdf file in a browser window. I have to save it before I can open it. Why can't I open the file without first having to save it?

    Anytime that I click on a pdf file in a browser window, the file will not open automatically. I am forced to save it on my computer first and then access the file. When I click on it after it is saved locally, it opens as it should.

    If you are not able to get Adobe Acrobat Reader to open .pdf files in the browser. Even after you check in prefs to show pdf files in the browser.
    Make this modification for all versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader that show under this key.
    -Note: Deleting the key and all subkeys for any older versions also seems to fix this problem. So if you see this key present,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Originals
    delete the 7.0 and all subkeys.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals
    -Right click on Originals and choose NEW DWORD Value and name it bBrowserIntegration, hit enter,
    double click on the new value and make sure the value is 1

  • Why can't I open pdf files in my browser even though I have Adobe Reader 9.4.1 downloaded?

    This is an irregular problem. Sometimes pdf files open; sometimes not. The message is always that this type of file is not supported by my browser.

    Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

  • My browser window dies, i have to click on th desktop and the go back and "reactvate" the brwser window and then i can click on a link

    Sometimes my browser gets inactive even thou the window is active and I can not click (pointer doesnt switch from arrow to hand) on any links or do anything in the browser. My best "workaround" is to click on the desktop and then go back to the browser window and then I can follow link or similar. But, next time I want to do something I have to repeat the procedure again, click on desktop then back to browser and so on. On some sites with scroll down menys it gets a little tricky since I only get one shot at the time.
    Hope you understand what I´m trying to say, English is my third language .
    i´m running vers. 3.6 and this is on my other Laptop (Toshiba Tecra)

    Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
    When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though.

  • Unable to view PDF files in web browser iphone4s

    I am having problems with viewing PDF files on iphone4s.
    I used to be able to view the PDF files in the web browser (mobile and desktop)but now I can't . I am using hotmail.co.uk account.
    I can view the PDF file on the 'Mail' app on the the iphone, but as I have a '3 day push' limit I goto the web browser to view but the message comes up 'viewing of PDF files has been disabled in Microsoft word mobile, please contact your administrator'.
    The only way I current can view the PDF file  in the browser is to send the email back to my self and view it in the mobile version of the hotmail website. Cannot see the attachment at all in the mobile hotmail website at all prior to re sending it to my self now the desktop version before or after sending the attachment back to my self
    Hope there's no confusion
    Thank you

    Oh ok thanks , seemed kinda odd that it started to happen all of a sudden. I checked all the settings etc in hotmail account no luck . I will get onto their website.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Meanwhile, If someone has experienced this problem please let me know

  • How can I disable viewing of PDF-files in browser in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi everyone
    After I have upgraded to Adobe Reader XI, I not longer can find the checkbox under settings>Internet, where I can disable that Adobe Reader XI viewing PDF-files in my browser.
    If I instead press on the button, I can see in the dialog box Adobe refers to an article there give me instruction to turn off the viewing of PDF-files via my browser settings. When I follow these instructions, I can see that the plug-in to Adobe is disabled when I not viewing PDF-files in my browser, and enabled when I viewing PDF-files in my browser.
    Therefore:
    1. Why has Adobe removed the checkbox where I can disable viewing of PDF-files in my browser?
    2. How can I now disable and enable viewing of PDF in my browser?
    My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.
    Very thanks.
    Regards,
    Boholdt

    Hi again
    I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should
    disable in Internet Explorer 8.
    If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called
    PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see
    the plugin.
    Another method is between the guide for accessibility
    (edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the
    checkbox.
    Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.
    For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to
    find the same assistant?
    Very thanks.
    Regards
    Boholdt

  • Inability to open a .pdf file in a browser.

    For years, I have run Acrobat 6 standard.  My wife & I share the same desktop--she uses IE for her browser; I use Firefox.  Early this year we both began getting the following error message when trying to open a .pdf file from within our resepctive browsers, i.e., clicking a link to the .pdf file:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view .pdf files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your web browser and try again."
    To the best of my knowledge, neither Acrobat nor Reader was running at the time (unless somehow it's going in a background that I couldn't find).  I thought perhaps it was a glitch from Acrobat 6, so I have upgraded to Acrobat 9 standard a week ago and to Reader 9.1 3 weeks ago.
    The problem still occurs, although not consistently, and the only way around it that I've found is to right-click the link on the webpage and save it to the desktop, then double-click the icon and it opens.  That's a bit of a pain.
    Has any one encountered this before?  Do you have a solution?

    Adobe STRONGLY recommends that you DO NOT have Acrobat and Reader on the SAME system. Based on my experience, the presence of both products causes all sorts of unpredictable behavior.
    If you need Acrobat to create and edit PDFs, then you do not need Reader at all to open PDF files in any browser. You should delete one program or the other and do a repair on the remaining product afterward. I also recommend that after deleting one product, you restart your system and then repair the other product. If either Acrobat OR Reader is installed on your system, then the browsers should load that product to read the PDF file.
    Good Luck.

  • Can't open pdf files in Safari browser windows (bank website window) after I installed Adobe Reader 11update on my Mac last night

    I previously had Adobe Reader 9, which worked perfectly.

    Here's EXACTLY what happens:  I am in a Safari browser website and try to open a pdf file (my bank statement).  When I click on the link I get this message in a black window: "Adobe Reader.  Before viewing a PDF file in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."  So I launch Adobe Reader but there is no End User License Agreement to accept.  I have done this several times with no result.  I am using a MacBook Air with OS 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5.

  • AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

    I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
    I have trying to download some manuals from their website
    and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

    Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
    In your Adobe application(s), go to:
    Edit > Preferences > Internet
    Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
    (There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)

  • Acrobat X pro - Problem viewing PDF files in web browser

    I've recently upgraded to the latest Imac and have experianced one or two teething problems with software compatibility with OS X 10.7.1 Lion (most now resolved)
    My latest issue is viewing online PDF's which appear in my browser as just a blank black page. This happens in both Safari and Firefox (both latest versions)
    My question is: Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

    I was able install and view the files in adobe reader 10.1.1 and in web browser window 7 64 bit machine.  But when I go to Edit-preferences-internet and  unchecking "display PDF in Browser" , I am not able to view the pdf files in ie 9 browser.  I have used this javscript to check for pdf version.
    Immediately after installing adobe--
    when I do adobe test in ie 9---https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html--  launches a test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
    After unchecking-- it stays in the  https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
    Tried to go back to "display PDF in Browser"--it is showing it is checked(eventhough I did not check it)
    and in ie
    it stays in the https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf

  • Cannot view PDF Files on my Browser

    I reinstalled Adobe Reader about a dozen times and not once was there an "End User License Agreement" box to accept. Then I reopened it from my "Finder" tab and selected the "Accept" box of the agreement, but every time I open the browser page to view a PDF file, a box appears stating that I must open my Adobe Reader and accept the End User License AGreement, then close browser and reopen, which I did and the box still appears! Help me! I have the most updated version on my Macbook!!!

    Go to Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins.
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
    Go to Mac HD/Appications and trash the Adobe Reader app.
    Go to [user]/Library/Preferences and trash the com.Adobe.Reader.plist  (to access your [user] Library, hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu)
    Empty the trash.
    Download and reinstall Reader from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Once it's installed, launch it from the Applications folder and accept the agreement.
    If Safari still gives you an alert try resetting it (Safari>Reset Safari from the menu bar)

  • Viewing PDF files within your browser

    Ever since I updated to a newer version of the reader (about a week ago), every time I try to access a pdf file within my browser (Firefox), I get the message "The version of Acrobar Reader currently running cannot view PDF files within your browser..."  Does anyone have a fix?

    I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3 last night and started having the same exact problem.  This morning I went to START and using the "Start Search" feature box typed in "Adobe" because I wanted to see if I still had any older Adobe Acrobat Reader files on my computer that were competing with 9.3.  As soon as I typed "Adobe" and clicked on the magnifying glass (or just hit "enter") I received a message that Windows was initializing Adobe Acrobat 9.3.  After it finished initializing everything worked perfectly.  The problem appears to be that Windows is not initializing the download automatically upon restart.  Maybe my fix was a fluke, but it is working fine now.

  • How do I view a pdf files online within the body of the browser

    I am having some issues interacting with pdf documents online with a website called Equator.com. I am using the latest version of of Firefox (10.0) and running Mac OS Lion. What can be done to remedy this problem?

    Hi richardconte,
    Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]? First you will need to install a PDF Plugin. Then you'll need to tell Firefox to open the PDF file in the browser. The article covers all of this information and provides troubleshooting steps in case you run into any issues.
    Hopefully this helps!
