Unable to open pdf files from weblinks
Hi,
I am encountering a problem while opening .pdf files through weblinks.
The problem occurs both in IE and chrome.
I am using Adobe Reader 9.1.0 version.
The snapshot the error message is attached.
Does anybody have a solution for this issue
regards,
-Amruth
I got this! Recently discovered a solution trying to help out my mom who was having the same problem.
First off, right click on the document and click "save as" to save it on to your computer (instead of just left clicking it to open it). Next go to where that file is saved on your computer and right click it again, choosing "open with" and then "choose default program..."
Here make sure you have the Adobe Reader option highlighted and click OK, ensuring the option of "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked off as well. This should re-associate your .PDF files to open automatically with Adobe.
HOPE THIS HELPED :3

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 from website
hi friends,
I am using iPad Air and iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to open PDF files from below site in safari,
http://www.iar.com/Products/IAR-visualSTATE/User-guides/
ftp://ftp.iar.se/WWWfiles/vs/QuickStartTutorial.pdf
it shows error as "Safari can not open the page because it could not load any data".
KIshore.Safari seems to have trouble with FTP sites. You may need another Browser to open these PDFs. Opera seems to Work.

Can't open pdf files from my hard drive
I have a problem. I'm using windows Vista Home Premium. When I'm trying to open pdf file saved in a folder on hard drive "open with" window appears. I click browse, then \Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRD32.exe, then ok and nothing happens. I have "open with window" with no changes. Just like I didn't choose any program to open pdf file. Pdf files should be associated to acrobat reader after instaling but they are not. I can't associate them manually. Everything works fine when I'm opening pdf files in IE7 or run AcroRD32.exe and then file->open. The same was with Reader 8.1.2. I uninstalled it and install 9.0.0 but it didn't help. No idea what to do. Please help.
Have a look at
http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/236/1/Unable-to-open-PDF-attachments-from-Windows-Ma il.html
It looks like you have to remove any existing associations before
trying to apply the correct ones.

Unable to print pdf files from sites
I am unable to print pdf files from any website. Suspect an incorrect setting; but, not sure how to correct it.
Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
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.
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. -
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

I'm unable to print pdf files from certain web sites. I have just changed to Mavericks
i'm unable to print pdf file from certain web site. I just changed over to Mavericks.
You will need to access that PDF on your computer first, before you can print it — unless that PDF is corrupted, which occasionally happens. Your printer needs to be configured and working.
Default PDF web-browser plug-in in Safari, latest (Firefox/Chrome) also built-in.
Click on the remote PDF link to open in browser
On Mavericks, you will need to click through security challenges for the PDF
File menu > Print
Right-click on remote PDF file and then choose Download Linked File As...Open that file in /Applications/Preview.appFile > print
Adobe Reader 11.0.04 PDF plug-in
Same security challenges on Mavericks as first bullet
With PDF imaged in browser, either select print icon from the plug-in toolbar, or mouse over the bottom one inch of displayed document and you will see a printer icon in the popup toolbar. Use that. -

Nothing Worked . What should i do ? I need immediate help to sort out
this issue. Can anybody help me
- AngelThis could be a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance. -
I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!
The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
605124.pdf.html
Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

Unable to open .pdf files after installation of 9.1.3
Hiya. I'm using XP SP3 w/Firefox 3.5.3 and IE 8.
When I try to open a .pdf file from Firefox (and I assume IE, which I never touch with a 10 foot pole), Adobe Reader opens, but then a blank dialog box (with a graphic of a ? in a bubble) pops up and all I can do is click the "OK" button and it closes Reader completely.
I've restarted Firefox, rebooted my computer, no Adobe products were running when I did the installation, and no errors occured during the installation.
I can open .pdf files from my HDD just fine, only when I try to open them from a browser window does the problem occur.
Help?That's all it does.
Like I said, I can open .pdf files that I've saved to my HDD, but opening them from the web just does this.
