Unable to open pdf file using version 9.5.0 and 10.1.2 / Windows 7 HE / IE 9.0

My issue is very similar to Elaina920.
I have Adobe Reader version 9.5.0, running on Windows 7 Home Edition, using IE 9.0.5. When I attempt to open a pdf document from a secure site, a new window opens, but nothing happens....just a blank (white) screen.
When I try to do the same thing using IE 9.0 64-bit edition, a new window opens and I get a "Do you want to save...." dialog box. But when I click on Save or Save As and attempt to save it as a .pdf file, I get a "[file name] couldn't be downloaded" message.
Things I've already tried:
- IE / Tools/ Internet Options / Security / Custom Level / Downloads / File Download is enabled
- IE / Tools/ Internet Options / Programs / Manage Add-Ons / Adobe PDF Link Helper is enabled
- Checked for Adobe update and got "No Updates Available" message
- Ran Repair Adobe Reader Installation and re-started PC
- Upgraded to version 10.1.2 and applied patch program ==> no change in how the program works
Please help!
Thanks,
Ed.

When using a 32-bit browser, the PDF document should open in the browser (using the Adobe Reader add-on).
When using a 64-bit browser, it will ask you if you want to save the document, or open in Adobe Reader.
If neither of these methods work, then it is the website that does not let you download the document (for whatever reason, e.g. server overload).
Try if you can open this document: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.2.pdf

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?

Since last update, unable to open PDF files from either banking site. The other (IE) works fine but I hate IE. I deleted newer versions and went back to older releases. No help, same thing. Checked settings in options. That is ok. What's up?

Unable to open PDF files from my banking statements.

I think almost every dev is on arch-general, so that is the place to contact the group in general. Specific points can probably be emailed to the dev involved, if one is identifiable and if the bug tracker is not a better place (bug reports to my email get ignored).
I think the whole problem here is that there is really no dev in charge of that package. So your emails were probably seen then skipped over by all devs thinking not my problem... (I know that is true for me). Then Andrea noticed an "orphan" package that needed updated and went ahead with it without connecting it to your previous emails, which is unfortunate.
Now our maintainer backend is fixed, hopefully we can get all the orphan packages adopted out, or at least know if we need to bring on new people to maintain them. That way, there should always be someone who information about specific packages should be sent to.

Unable to open PDF files or Adobe Reader

I am unable to opern adobe reader or download a ner version of adobe reader.

Apparently the original software download was corrupt. I tried to
"change" it through the add and delete software area of Windows, and re-installed
the software. That seemed to work. Debating on whether to upgrade to one
of their other products. I could certainly use fillable forms, signature,
and modifiable documents.
Thank you for responding.

Open pdf file using ms access visual basic 2000 (9.0.2720)

I'm using Acrobat reader to open pdf file using a vb proceedure , how ever I can't get it to open a specific file thats in another file folder.
The code I'm using looks like the following: This is windows 7, using the (x86) virtual in 32 bit mode.
Private Sub Form_Click()
'checks for valid msds document
Dim fs As FileSearch
Dim stAppName As String
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_form_Click
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
             .NewSearch
            .LookIn = "c:\program files (x86)\cvmm\msds\"
            .FileName = Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
            .MatchTextExactly = True
If .Execute() <> 0 Then
                    stAppName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\program files(x86)\cvmm\msds\" & Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
                      Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
           End If
                 End With
exit sub
Err_form_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
         Resume Exit_form_Click
Exit_form_Click:
        MsgBox " no file found."
End Sub
This used to work when I was using acrobat 5.0,

You should have quotes around a filename that has spaces in it. Older versions were more forgiving for some reason.
Much better anyway is to use ShellExecute, which means you don't have to know or care what PDF reading software is installed and how to run it.

I am unable to open PDF files or run adobe flash when its needed I have downloaded it several times and tried updating it.

Unable to print PDF files using Acrobat 8.

I had to uninstall and then reinstall Office for Mac 2011. I don't know if it's related or not, but since doing so I have been unable to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 8. After opening a PDF file and hitting print, Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes. Any suggestions? I already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8, but it still won't print PDF files. O

While you are having difficulty in printing a PDF file, you may try the subsequent steps. If you are in a rush and would like to print a simple document such as a letter, a form, or a calendar, you may print it as an image. Next option is that you may need to update your printer driver if the PDF does not print, the PDF prints as a blank page or with unreadable text or if you get an error message when you print. Sometimes, when you print a file that is on a thumb drive or a network, the file gets damaged. Then you have to open the copy on your hard drive and print again. At last, you can try printing the PDF using another printer and check your printer connection too if the PDF does not get printed. get more help to fix unable to printer PDF file hope this helps you.
Good Luck!

How do I force safari to open pdf files using Adobe???

You need Acrobat Reader as a Safari plug in.

Unable to open pdf files on my IMac I have downloaded

Unable to open PDF Files on my IMac I have installed the latest Adobe Reader still no joy when I try to open any PDF File from a site I just get an empty black

Is it only ones you have downloaded? What about for example the ones that came with your iMac - you didn't give a model but mine has a folder "User Guides and Information" that has a number of pdfs. Spotlight should find it for you.

Unable to open PDF files in messages since iOS 8.3 update

i updated my iPhone 6 to the iOS 8.3 update and unable to open PDF files with in the messages app ... I was able to do this prior to the update. Was the functionality taken away (still able to open jpg and ping files)?

I visited a "genius" in the Apple Store, Leicester, this morning. After some playing around he seems to have sorted it. Apparently - now they tell me! - you don't need Adobe Reader on Macs as the Mac has its own pdf reader built-in. Safari 5.1 is now clashing with Reader and the best approach is to remove Reader - and the relevent preference files. I took one of my MBPs into the store and am just checking it out to see if everything is now ok. I'm now planning to make the changes on my other machine and will report back. (The genius said that my best approach was to bring in the second MBP but I'm not very convenient to Leicester so I'm going to give it whirl myself.)
Wish me luck.
But why did we load Reader in the first place? Are we that unusual in the Mac community? Surely, others must have done the same and are having the same problem with Safari 5.1???

Unable to open pdf-files in safari,

Hi there.... since awhile I cannot open pdf files anymore in safari... and apparantly i'm nt the only one... does anyone have a solution?

I do not remember how things were in 10.5.8, but I think there is an option in Preferences.
I do not understand to what group you refer when saying ‘am not the only one’.
