Too long to Open pdf files

I have a Latop with Windows XP SP3 and Adobe 9.1 Pro. From one day to another, every time the user tries to open any pdf file (with a double click) it takes about 1 to 2 minutes to open. If I do the same with Adobe Acrobat - File - Open, the situation seems normal. I already install the Adobe and re-install it again and the situation is the same. Any suggestion what to do? Thanks R

When you double-click on a file Acrobat needs to launch first, load all the plugins, scripts, etc. and then open the file.
When you go to File - Open from within the application it has already launched and loaded everything and just needs to open the file.
So you can't compare the two.
Anyway, beside Michael Kazlow's valid questions, you can try to hold down Shift while loading the application. It's supposed to bypass all the plugins and load faster.

  • Preview app is too slow to open PDF from Server Snow Leopard

    Hi
    After the Lion update into a MacBook Clients the app Preview has become too slow to open PDF files from Mac server OS Snow Leopard.
    Preview app isn't not slow to open PDF present into local system hard disk.
    Can you help me to solve this?

    i've tested the network connection but it's works perfectly.
    if i open network files with Office or other applications there aren't problems.
    Only preview app is slow to open pdf's from server.

  • Safari does not automatically open pdf files.

    After updating Acrobat to 7.0.5, Safar no longer auromattically opens pdf files, when I click to open a pdf on the web. Every time it asks me which application do I want to use. When I select 7.0.5 it works fine. When I open a pdf from a the finder it opens the proper version and Get Info shows the proper association.
    I cannot find how to fix the association in Safari.
    Thanks for you suggestions.

    Hi, Jim. Welcome to the Discussions.
    1. Quit Safari if it is open.
    2. In Acrobat, select Help > Detect and Repair.
    3. Select or deselect the options in the resulting window, as desired, assuring that<pre>__ Adobe PDF Viewer
    View and edit Adobe PDF within Safari</pre>is selected.
    4. Click Continue.
    5. Type your Admin Password when prompted, click OK.
    6. You should get a message indicating that "missing components were repaired."
    7. Launch Safari and open a PDF on the Web to see if it's fixed.
    FYI: Questions regarding Safari should be posted to the Safari Discussion.
    Good luck!

  • Acrobat Reader no longer works in FF4- Upgraded Adobe Acrobat too and still not opening pdf files in Firefox4.

    Can't open pdf files in FF4. Updated Adobe Acrobat to version X but still won't open. Worked before in FF3.6.

    What is the version of your Mac OS? Is Safari running in 64 bit (check from Safari->Get Info)? If yes, change it to 32-bit and try again.

  • Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

    Since the update I can no longer open a link from an email opened PDF file. I could prior to update

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02.

    SAFARI CAN'T OPEN PDF'S ?
    I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02.  It worked fine up until  2 weeks ago.  The pdf's open in Foxfire and Chrome browsers.
    I can also download the pdf and open in acrobat directly.  Safari only shows the file as ASCII characters.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Can no longer click on pdf files to open in email, websites

    Can no longer click on pdf files to open in email, websites, etc. on iMac. Help!
    Have updated/reloaded Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player. Still no go.
    Any Suggestions?

    I moved your question to the Adobe Reader forum since you're working on a Mac (not an iPad or iPhone).

  • I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3  Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email.  When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself.  Can someone please help?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

  • Opening PDF files in Reader itself takes a long time

    When I try opening PDF Files in Reader itself, this process takes a long time (more then 2 minutes for opening PDF files).
    When I try opening PDF Files directly from My computer, My documents: no problem (direct opening).
    Running Reader XI on Windows XP SP3.

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to open pdf file in the Adobe Reader directly from document library.
    I suggest you do as the followings:
    1. In SharePoint Central Administration site, click Application Management->Manage Web Applications, select the web application for the site. Click Authentication
    Providers, select default zone, and select Yes for "Enable Client Integration?".
    2. click Site Settings-> Site collection features->"Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" click Activate
    3. set the default open behavior for a document library by using the document library settings page.
    4. Enable the “Adobe Arcobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component”add-on in the IE11.
    5. Add your current site URL to the trusted web sites in IE11.

  • Can no longer open PDF files in Safari 7 using Mavericks - help??

    I cannot open PDF files on my iMac - not sure why - I am using  Safari 7 & have downloaded Mavericks - it says I have to launch Acrobat 8 and agree to terms (or some such thing) Please help.  How do you make Reader 9 the default for opening pdf's?   Help?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Can no longer open PDF Files

    After running MacKeeper (may be a coincidence), I can nolonger open PDF files. I used to be able to double click and they would open (I think in Preview). Now I get a mesage that I can't open with this version of Mac OS X. Same if I try to open Preview. I am using10.5.8. Can't open with Pages. Can open with Acrobat Reader 5. from within the app.I have restarted my Mac and run software update. How would I redownload Preview or maybe there is another fix??
    Need help. Thanks in advance.

    Partly great news Stuart, thanks!
    No idea how ZeoBit gets away with this slime ware.
    There are many good 3ed party Disk/maintenance apps like DiskWarrior, DRive Genius, & maybe even TechTool, but for free...
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
    What happens when you try to use Preview to view PDFs?

  • This is actually a FF 4 RC question...but I can no longer open PDF files...the page just goes blank. No option in applications to set a PDF viewer as default. Help!

    How do you open PDF files in FF4 RC? The application section in options doesn't have PDF as an option to associate with a program. Whenever I click on a PDF file, I just get a blank tab.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • Opening pdf files on websites to fill them in on the website

    With my iMac I can open and fill in all pdf files from websites using OSX 10.6.5.  On my macbook pro using 10.7.5  or later safari will no longer open pdf files on websites and just gives you a blank black page.  I use these all the time on sites from the IRS or other taxing agencies and fill in the forms and save them or print them.  I have not upgraded my OS on my desktop because of this.  Why is this happening and how do I fix it if it can be fixed.  I talked to someone at applecare and they said the fuctionality was no longer in the operating system to do this and I can only download the pdf files.  That is not sufficient because these are fillable forms on their websites.  All businesses use this function and if apple really wants people to use their computers for business I would hope that their not so monumentally stupid as to write this out of the newer OS.  HELP

    Try another browser such as Firefox until this gets sorted out.
