Trouble opening PDFs from websites on MacBook Pro

I have started getting a black screen when trying to open PDF files on some websites.  I've tried to make sure my block pop ups isn't active and that my updates are current, but still no luck.  Frustrating!!

What MBP? What version of OSX? What PDFs? What version of Acrobat/ Reader? So many questions...

  • 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?

  • Downloaded adobe reader for mac, but can't open pdf from websites

    I just downloaded the Adobe reader for Mac, but can't open any pdf from websites.  I've already deleted the previous version off of my computer.  I even intstalled Adobe Air Reader as well, but nothing is working.  Please help!  =(

    In case you have Safari version 5.1 and above, please have a look at :http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90885.html
    If this is not the case please see if the safari has 32-bit mode enable. More info at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50983.html

  • Opening PDF from website only opens in browser, want it to open in Acrobat Client

    So after this most recent update 11.0.03 we have this is issue where the PDF will not open in the Acrobat client.  I found the adobe article where it tells you to disable the IE plugins and that should force it to open in the client but that is not working...
    I've tried repairing Acrobat then trying again.  Same issue.  If I have the IE plugins enabled it opens fine in Internet Explorer 10 but just refuses to open in the actual client unless I download a copy and open it locally. 
    What I need is for when someone goes to open a pdf from a website I need it to open in the actual Acrobat Pro client...

    Acrobat is opening PDFs in the browsers, IE11, Chrome and Firefox. I am using Foxit now so it doesn't matter. I can also open many pdf files in Foxit and have tabs. Acrobat opens a new acrobat window for every file, this is not acceptable to me.
    Thanks,

  • Can't open PDFs from website. Use OS X 6.8 & Firefox 24

    When I click on the link, I get a blank screen. If I switch to Safari I can open PDFs, but not with Firefox. Can you help?

    Can you check your PDF viewer setting? This article describes how to switch it: [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]] (skip to the section "Using a PDF reader plugin"). If your current setting doesn't work, does another one of the options work?

  • Cannot open Pdf or image on Macbook Pro

    hello all,

    "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."

    Can you open any of the manuals on this page:

  • Can't Open Videos From Camcorder on Macbook Pro

    I recently moved several videos from my camcorder to my desktop.  The file extension is .MOD and I can't figure out how to open them on my laptop.  I had no problem opening and viewing them on my HP desktop but am having no success on my Mac.  I am fairly new to Macs so this could be a very basic fix that I'm not aware of.  Any directions/suggestions woudl be appreciated. 

    Hi Katherine,
    You'll need to save it to a different format to use it on a Mac. If you can still open them on the HP, that would probably be the easiest. Save them as a Mac compatible format such as .mpg. If that doesn't work, here is a converter you can try: http://www.squared5.com/

  • I can't open PDF's on my Macbook Pro.

    It keeps popping up with the following message:
    Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.
    How do I fix this?

    Launch Reader from your applications folder. Accept the agreement.

  • I used to be able to open .pdf documents on my MacBook Pro using FireFox with NO problems, all of a sudden NOW they won't open and i get "unsupported" error messages. What the ****? I need to fix this ASAP! Can anyone help in simple non geek language?

    THANKS.

    Depending on which version of Firefox you're using, it no longer currently supports the plug-in provided with Adobe Reader. You have to use PDF Plugin 2.4.4. Just disable the Adobe plugin and use the Schubert plugin.

  • I am having trouble opening links from websites I am currently on. The window will pop up but the content is blank. What should I do?

    I do not know if this is a result of something I did, or something that happened when I updated Firefox. Any help would be appreciated as I really need the windows to show the content I want to see. An example of what I am talking about:
    I was on Verizon's website and I wanted to sign up for more information on the iPhone. When I typed in my e-mail address and hit the submit button, another screen pops up and where there would be a web address, it says "Search Bookmarks and History" but will not show me the content.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • 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.

    Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

  • Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

    Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
    have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
    So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
    My machine has both on and no problems.
    Thank YOU for your help!!

    It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.
