View pdf files on my iPod

Hi,
Is it possible to view pdf files on my iPod (30GB video iPod).
Thanks!
BT

No, it's not possible to view PDF files.
You could try converting the PDF to a JPG or a TXT file... but I doubt that you would find those solutions accetable.

Storing and viewing powerpoint and pdf files on my ipod touch?

Dear All,
Do any experts out there know how I can easily store and view ppt & pdf files on my ipod touch 8GB?
I only need to view them.
I have read else where that you can copy them in to safari bookmark, but this can destabilise safari(?).
Is there a simple way I can just drag, drop and view?
Any free apps available especially for this purpose?
Thank you very much for your time and help.

Unable To View PDF Files From Google Mail

This is probably a GMail problem, but it's on my iPod Touch so I thought I'd ask.
Up until recently, I've been able to view PDF files that have been attached to emails in GMail on my iPod Touch. However lately, I've been getting the following error message when I click on the PDF file:
+Server Error+
+We're sorry, but Google Mail is temporarily unavailable. We're currently working to fix the problem -- please try logging in to your account in a few minutes.+
Well, I've done the logging out and logging back in, and it doesn't work.
When I try to download the files on my computer, it works fine.
Is anybody else experiencing this problem?
Thanks in advance.

I think it is an Acrobat issue. I have seen it and with PDFs not linked to Fm or Rh. Sometimes you can see the issue and sometimes you don't. I also have Nitro PDF and that displays the PDF without problems.
If it is a PDF you create, I guess you could try some different settings or use something else to create it to see if the problem goes away.

Viewing PDF files in iBooks ?

does anyone know if there is anyway to view PDF files as you view books in ibooks with access to all options (copy, define, highlight, note, search, share) ?, thank you.

Hi LeClarence,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below will explain how to view PDFs with iBooks on your iPhone. The easiest way to get them to your device is to email them to yourself.
iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4227
With iBooks for iOS and iTunes 10.1 or later, you can view, sync, save, and print PDFs on your compatible iOS device. You can also view PDF email attachments or PDFs from Safari in iBooks.
Opening PDFs with iBooks
You can open PDF documents, such as a PDF attached to an email, with iBooks:
When you view a PDF email attachment, tap the Share button in the upper-right corner.
Tap Open in iBooks to open the attachment. iBooks will open, and you can view your PDF.
When you use iBooks to open a PDF, iBooks will automatically save a copy of the PDF to your iBooks PDF shelf. These PDFs will sync to your iTunes Book library the next time you sync your device with iTunes.
Syncing and saving PDFs
To add PDFs to your iTunes library on your computer, drag and drop the PDF into your iTunes Book library. If you're using OS X Mavericks, drag and drop your PDFs into your iBooks library using iBooks for Mac.
To sync a PDF to iBooks on your device:
Select your iOS device. (Learn more about syncing your data with iTunes.)
Click the Books tab.
Select Sync Books.
If iTunes is set to sync only selected books, select the checkbox next to the PDF you want to sync.
Click Sync.
You can use iTunes to back up your PDF files so they will restore to your iOS device after you update or restore your software or transfer information to a different device. If you use iTunes 11 or later to sync your PDF files to iBooks on your iOS device, a backup of your PDF will be automatically created. A copy of the PDF will be added to your iTunes Books library, or iBooks library if you're using OS X Mavericks.
Cheers,
- Judy

How to view PDF files like a flipping magazine?

Hi, I am new here. I didn't know if it is the optimum catagory for my question, I hope you guys will help me.
In brief, I want to view PDF files like a flipping magazine. You know, just the same flipping effect that ibook did on ios. Adobe reader is the only choice to browse PDF on computer for me. It's kind of bothering and annoying now.
So, any ideas for that? Plus, my computer runs on win7 64bit.

This is also a good site: http://www.issuu.com/ You can sign up and use it for free or you can upgrade(for a price) to make custom changes (like background color, button color, etc.) You can also embed the html code into your website if you would like someone to view it there. Good luck!

AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
I have trying to download some manuals from their website
and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
In your Adobe application(s), go to:
Edit > Preferences > Internet
Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
(There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Reader 9.2 - "can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser"

Hello,
I recently deployed Adobe 9.2 within our organization. I used the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to transform the install set, and selected the "Display PDF in Browser" option as default.
When opening a PDF linked from a web URL, we get the message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again." This occurs under IE8 and IE6, in both Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7.
If I launch Adobe Reader and unselect "Display PDF in Browser" in preferences, PDFs open normally.

Adobe 9.1.3 and FireFox 3.5.1+ "...can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser"

This is the issue but I'm not sure there is a resolution:
Firefox: Version 3.5.1
Adobe: Version 9.1.3
When navigating the web, click a URL that opens a PDF inside the browser and you get an error * "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is
running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser". Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again". I did read a post that doing a "repair" from the Adobe Reader application should fix this, they also reference a few registry keys to check becuase the post states it's lost the application path to Adobe version X. I don't necessarily buy that "fix" and here are my details below.
In FireFox if you navigate to Tools > Options > Applications > Adobe Acrobat Document
You're given choices:
Always ask: DOES NOT WORK, produces afore mentioned error *
Save File: Works, saves the file to a directory on your PC
Use Adobe Reader 9.1 (defau...: Works, opens your PDF's outside of your web browser
Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox): DOES NOT WORK, produces afore mentioned error *
Use other...:
IE seems to just work as expected.
If you open Adobe Reader > Edit > Preferences > Internet > Check "Display PDF in browser" - DOES NOT WORK, produces afore mentioned error *
This would seem to be an Adobe error rather than a FireFox web browser problems since FireFox does seem to know the correct path although I suppose you can't rule out that this is a FireFox problem since 2 out of the 4 PDF open options DON'T WORK.
Any thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Other information:
Adobe 8.1.5 works perfectly with FF 3.5.1+ when opening PDF's in the web browser, we also had no problems with previous versions either.
MSI push via Active Directory from Adobe 8.1.5 upgrade to Licensed Distribution I signed up for, Adobe 9.1.3 which was upgraded from 9.1.0, to 9.1.2, to 9.1.3 via an MSP patch.
Operating system: Windows XP SP 2, plenty of RAM, plenty of Drive
IE version this works with the new version of Adobe 9.1.3 is version 7 (7.0.5730.13)
Our FireFox MSI's come from Front Motions website and as far as I know we've never had problems with their MSI's, also tried the new release of FF 3.5.2 from their website.
I think that about covers it. Anyone else experiencing the same problems or have a patch?

After troublshooting this for the entire day today the issue seems to be a MIME problem.
If everything is woking perfectly, in Tools > Options > Applications...
You should see 4 or more things related to Adobe like "Adobe Acrobat Forms Document", etc. If you don't see at least 4 MIME entries either your Adobe installation is hosed or your FF installation is hosed. I haven't figured out which is causing the issue.
What I did was remaster my patches from my original Adobe 9.1.0 MSI with the two updates via the command line in the directories with the source files. On the 9.1.0 original file I first remastered my MST transform with the Adobe MST utility. I then applied my patches.
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd912_all_incr.msp
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd913_all_incr.msp
I then uploaded that to my network share, unlinked my group policy, made a new group policy, added a batch file to delete adobe.com from program file and the desktop on system startup even though my MST was supposed to take care of that - it's not a perfect world is it? :-)
I then reapplied my GPO's for both FireFox 3.5.2 and Adobe 9.1.3, I checked to make sure the MIME extensions were there and they were. You might have to go into your Adobe Preferences and select that open in browser setting depending on what happens or adjust your MIME settings in FireFox's options but it should work.
That's what worked for me. It's possible a few other things I did along the way tweaked it out, in my group policy on the first run I did select to upgrade previous group policies, for the remaster and repush I didn't select any previous GPO's to upgrade.
It's hard to tell what one thing tweaked it out or what combination of things tweaked out the install. I did also reinstall Adobe 8.1.5 and FF 3.0.10 before doing all this since our machines currently have that setup, I'm not sure if that affected it either, it's just hard to tell but I don't think it did simply because I had done that several times in troubleshooting this issue.
If anyone else has more specifics that would be great!

I can not view pdf. files on the web.

I have downloaded the latest Adobe reader.
I can open and view existing pdf files on my desktop.
I can not however view any pdf files from web sites.

Yes, it was working.
Last week I cleaned up my hard drive using an app. called OmniDiskSweeper.
I deleted what I thought was an extra copy of Adobe Reader 9.
Today, I tried to open an pdf file on a website and just got a dark page.
I tried several different websites with the same result.
I was able to open existing pdf files located on my desktop.
I then downloaded and reinstalled both Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3 .
I am still unable to open and view pdf files on web sites.

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

HOW DO I VIEW PDF FILES IN SAFARI 5.1.7

Newb: cannot view PDF files in Web Browser

I have a new Windows 7 computer & have installed Acrobat Standard 9.3.2 and Reader 9.3.1.
Whenever I attempt to "download" (i.e. view) a PDF in IE browser (or Firefox 3.6), I get the following error message:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
The error remains the same regardless of whether Acrobat or Reader is running/not running prior to download attempt. My work-around solution is to save the file to disk, & then open it. This is a pain & should not be necessary.
Any advice that anyone can give me to correct this problem will be received with great thanks!
FastKick

Thanks for your prompt & accurate response, John!
With hindsight, I realise that I downloaded Reader when another install program told me that I needed it.
It would have helped me if the Acrobat install program had warned me in big colored type, not to install Reader...
I am happy now....

Cannot view PDF files in a Web Browser

When I click on a link in IE 7 it's supposed to open a PDF page but I keep getting error message:
"The adobe acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again"
However, I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro installed on my machine, so I think it should work. After all, it's the pro version. Do I need to download/install Adobe Reader 8 or 9? If so, why, since I've already got Pro 9 installed.
What can I do to get passed this? This task is part of an online course I'm taking per work requirements.
thx,
John

Under help there is an option for repairing an installation. You should give that a try.
