Trouble opening PDF doc in internet explorer

Have Adobe Reader 9 installed and using Internet Explorer V. 7 on a PC. On a particular web site I can't open PDF files from their hyperlink -- just get a blank box. Have turned off all firewall, cleared history/cookies, etc. to no avail. The web site's technical support has no more ideas, as they are able to open the links from their end. Problem seems limited to a particular web site, as I'm able to correctly display on other sites. I am also able to open them using the Firefox browser, but not internet explorer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

To make the hyperlinks in PDF file work, do the following:
Open your Adobe Reader
Then select Edit à Preferences… from the Action Bar.
To make the links active, select Documents (under Categories). On the right side, now under PDF/A View Mode, using the drop-down change “Only for PDF/A documents” to “Never”. Now click the OK button.

Unable to open PDF files in Internet Explorer

Hello,
One of our users has a problem with opening PDF files in Internet Explorer.
Translation:
Adobe PDF-document
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Close Adobe Acrobat/Read and try again.
The user is using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard in combination with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (under an administrator account), deleted the local user profile and the problem is still there.
Does anyone have an idea about this? The error message doesn't really say what is wrong. Adobe Reader is not installed.

What exactly means "unable"? Do you see a little x in a box on the top left of IE11? If so, this may be the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

Unable to open pdf files using Internet Explorer and Adobe 9.1

We are unable to open any/all pdf files in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 using Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows XP SP2.
The error message is that IE has a problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
Clicking "OK" closes IE.
We did not have any issue with Adobe Reader 8.1.
What we did to date:
1. Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1
2. Run Windows Clean Utility to remove any remnant of Adobe Reader 8
3. Re-install Adobe Reader 9.1
Any other suggestions?
Need to have this upgrade.

I'm having a similar issue. Prior to upgrading to Acrobat 9.1 I was able to view PDFs from IE 6. No longer. Instead I get a message: "Error opening document. File cannot be found."
Help?

Adobe & Internet Explorer crashing when opening pdf within an Internet Explorer window

Hello,
Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
Would the acrotray.exe be causing this?
Adobe Reader           9.3.2
Internet Explorer:        8 up to date

Adobe Reader 11 is unable to open PDF's from Internet Explorer 11

My boss is currently operating on the Adobe Reader 11 and often needs to use Internet Explorer 11 for certain programs.
Unfortunately the Adobe Reader is unable to open PDFs from Internet Explorer and often comes up with a message telling us that the file is either damaged, no longer exists or that there is a problem with the syntax. She does not have this problem with Google Chrome. We have tried several ideas regarding the security settings but nothing seems to correct the problem. Could someone shed some light on how to fix this error?

Open PDF's from Internet Explorer default to Adobe Reader

I have an old version of Acrobat, Acrobat 6 installed, but I also have Reader version 9.
When I open a PDF from a web page it tries to open in Acrobat, but is unable to because the version is old. I want PDFs from the internet to open default to Reader.
Is there a setting I can change with Acrobat, Reader or Internet Explorer to set what program it opens with?

Sure - I quote:
"Try examing the registry as in this good old tweak from Reinhard Franke:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6778d
"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
There you will find the full path to the program IE will use (Acrobat or Reader exe)."
E.g. the data value of the key should be - something like:
"C:\Programs\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" (for using Reader)
"C:\Programs\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" (for using Acrobat)

How to configure to not open pdf files into Internet Explorer 10?

I have disabled the adobe complements from Internet Explorer and the preferences of Adobe to don't show the pdf files in internet but it keep also doing it.
How can configure the computer? I am using Internet Explorer 10, Adobe Acrobat 8.1 and Adobe Reader XI
Thanks for your help

Hi BG-Zic,
Acrobat 8 and Reader 11 is not a recommended configuration to install on one machine.
Please check the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-product-interoperability-install-remove.html
For disabling the pdf view in Browser please refer the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
There's also a related registry entry :
1.Click "Start," type "Regedit" into the Search box and press "Enter."
2.Click "Yes" if a User Account Control prompt appears.
3.Navigate to the ""HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\[version]\Originals\" key in the left pane of the Registry Editor, where "[version]" is the currently installed version of Adobe Reader.
4.Create the bBrowserIntegration value if it doesn't exist in the right pane by clicking "Edit," "New." Click "DWORD Value," type "bBrowserIntegration" and press "Enter."
5.Double-click the bBrowserIntegration value in the right pane.
6.Type "0" into the value data box and press "Enter."
Hope this helps.

Ravi.

I cannot open any PDF's in Internet Explorer

Starting just a few days ago, I can no longer open PDF files in Internet Explorer (IE 9). I'm not sure, but this could have started when I upgraded from Reader X 10.1.5 to 10.1.6.
I can open PDF's fine in Firefox 19.0, just not Internet Explorer. I have tried numerous suggestions that I found in this forum and elsewhere:
Turned off popup blocker.
Changed the Internet option in Adobe Reader's preferences to both open PDF's in the browser and not to open the PDF in the browser. Neither option works.
Tried running Internet Explorer in Compatiilty View for the websites where I am trying to view the PDF files.
There was a suggestion to clear the Internet Explorer cache. I could not find that option (cache) under the Setting for IE. The closest thing I found was Temporary Internet Files, so I deleted them.
I uninstalled Adobe Reader and installed an earlier version (10.1.4).
I made sure that the plugin/extention 'Adobe PDF Helper' was enabled.
None of the above has helped. I'm just about out of ideas. The fact that I can still open PDF's using Firefox makes this less than an emergency, but I would really like to get this resolved.
I had some trouble searching this forum (Adobe Reader) thoroughly, so if there is another post out there that has some solutions (other than the 6 items I already tried) please fell free to post a link to it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I just thought I would add some information (albeit vague) on how I solved this problem. I had another computer (laptop) that was not experiencing this problem. I compared the IE settings on the laptop with the IE settings on my desktop and changed all the settings on the desktop to match the laptop. I then restarted IE on my desktop and was able to open PDF files! Since it was working for me, I didn't go back and try to figure out which of the changed settings led to the solution to the problem. If enough people on the forum request it, I will try to go back and isolate the pertinent settings.

The plugin is gets called when we open any pdf document in internet explorer

Hello,
I have written plug-in( .api) for our use. But it's get called when ever I open any pdf document in internet explorer.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 10. What could be the problem. I don't want to call plug-in methods on internet explorer.
The plug-in method should call when am launch Adobe acrobat separately.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Sow

Thanks for the response.
I have written some function in PluginInit. I don't want to call the method when acrobat launches in IE. It should call only when acrobat launches in Desktop.
How can I call the method only when it launches on desktop.
Please help me to solve the issue.

Trouble Opening PDFs from IE 11

I am having trouble opening pdf documents from a website (Federal Courts Court Records website) using my laptop using Adobe Xi (Version 11.0.8), Windows 7, and Internet Explorer 7. When I try to open pdf document, I get message "Adobe PDF Access Denied". I have tried to turn off "Enable Protected Mode" in Security Enhanced but does not work. I have tried allowing displayed content to eliminate the message "Only secure content is displayed" but that does not solve problem.
I can open the documents on my son's laptop which has Adobe Reader XI (Version 11.0.3)
Help please?

The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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 into the text box that opens (command-V), 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.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
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.

Access to pdf document in internet explorer

Hi folks
My task is to send specific opened pdf document in adobe reader (as plugin in IE) to some web service.
I dont want to make plugin or adobe javascript, cos it would stay in adobe reader forever and i need that
function only in one moment.
Or maybe i want plugin or adobe javascript, but im very new in this stuff.
Workflow is that customer clicks to download pdf document, it opens in IE, he signs the pdf (i have solve this
already) and then click to my special button or do something and it sends the document back (for exapmple to webservice)
My question is, is that possible at all?
If yes, how?
I c only something like thru "classic" javascript i get acces to pdf document via adobe reader API and then also via javascript send the opened document. But i have no idea how
All help is very welcome, thx a lot.
PS: this forum doesnt work in opera.

Hi
I didnt say abything about a email.
All i need is somehow get document from opened adobe reader in internet explorer (or other browsers) and send it somewhere.
I realize the javascript is bad way, i have access to pdf object, but i cannost send it from javascript. Javascript cant serialize the pdf object and send him to web service (no this is not email). So maybe the activex is better way, but i didnt find in adobe reader API something like getDocument() method i can call from web page.
Very thx for answer.
