Trouble opening PDF in certain cases. Help?

I have installed Reader 11 but still can't open a PDF that comes with an e-mail. I re-installed 11, still can't open one. The icon does show it is a PDF.  Using Firefox.  If I double click on a PDF that is already on my computer, it opens with Reader. Have not, but also want to make sure PDFs can be opened automatically or by me from within a website that I am on.  However, want to safeguard from "junk" opening. Spending way too much time on trying to get this fix. Really need your help to get this resolved. Thanks, Eric

Firefox uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136

    Hi,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your device? You can check it under Settings-->Apps. If Adobe Reader is installed on your device and still the pdfs open in some other app, then you might have chosen that app to be the default app for always opening pdfs. You can clear the defaults for that application. Just go to Settings-->App--->Polaris(or any other app where the files open)--->Clear Defaults. Next time you try to open a pdf, you will be presented with the options again. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you still face some issues.
    Thanks.

  • Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

    Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. 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.

    I'm having trouble opening pdf files on my Samsung note tablet. Before I encountered this isssue, a window would pop up with Adobe  as an option everytime I downloaded a pdf files, however now I'm only given polaris office as an option to open pdf's.

  • 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)

    Recently installed Yosemite. Trouble opening pdf files e-mailed via Gmail. Opens fine on my iPhone, which is not running Yosemite. Any suggestions appreciated.

    I do this all the time, using preview.
    If you're using Adobe Reader, delete it completely and all should work fine.

  • I have trouble opening PDF documents with Firefox. They will open using IE8 and with the older version of Firefox but not with the new version of Firefox.

    Specifically, I am trying to open brokerage statements with Charles Schwab. I go to the link using Firefox and click and all I get is a blank box with ABOUT: BLANK in the header at the top. Yet, I had no trouble viewing the statements with the older version of Firefox and I also have no problem viewing the document using Internet Explorer. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would rather continue to use Firefox as my browser and not have to use IE.

  • Trouble opening pdf files on version 9.4...

    Hi, I recently updated (10/7/10) my Adobe from 9.34 to 9.4 and now I'm having trouble opening my files that were working fine with 9.34.. I read the other post but the problem still seems to occur for my mac..the error message I am getting is..
    Adobe Reader could not open 'maher39767_0324639767_02.11_chapter11.spdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    I reinstalled Adobe and I'm still getting the problem...
    Please help.

    Does this happen with any pdf or this particular pdf ? If it happens with this pdf only then may be the pdf is not properly downloaded or may be damaged.

  • 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.

  • Open PDF to certain page

    Is there are way to open a PDF (linked from the internet) to a certain page, in Flash Catalyst?
    Thanks for you help!

    Yes that workflow is possible. But you are going to have import your Flash Catalyst project into Flash Builder and then add the various classes and code in your project. You will need some level of ActionScript development experience to properly add this functionality.
    The best starting point would be this help document:
