Viewing PDFs in browser on a Mac with Firefox 16

I have Firefox 16.0.2 because it's the latest version compatible with with Mac OS 10.5. I'm not willing to upgrade my Mac right now because it works perfectly fine (aside from not being compatible with stuff), and I don't feel like paying or going through the hassle. I'm so far behind right now that I would have to update my operating system at least three times to get up to date. I used to have some sort of plug-in or extension that allowed me to view PDFs in my browser. It was buggy, but it was working up through yesterday. Then I was having some issues, no idea what they were, and ended up having to reset Firefox. I lost all my add-ons. I have been unsuccessful in finding whatever it was I had before. Is there ANY possible way I can view PDFs in my browser? This is driving me absolutely nuts.

Not really interested in switching my operating system at the moment. The only real problem with it is back compatibility of certain things (like updated versions of Firefox, for example), but for my everyday use it doesn't cause a problem. The only real thing that's annoying me at the moment is the fact that the PDFs open in Adobe instead of in Firefox, but that's not really worth the hassle of installing a new operating system for.

Problem with LTKRN11N.dll after enabling "View PDF in Browser" option

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to install an internal business application on one of our office PC's but keep getting errors during the install. The two errors I receive are:
The ordinal 267 could not be located in the dynamic link library LTKRN11n.dll
The ordinal 173 could not be located in the dynamic link library LTDIS11n.dll
I've narrowed the problem down and can repeat it...it seems to be the result of enabling the option "View PDF in Browser" in the preferences of Adobe Reader 9.3. Simply unchecking the option does not fix the problem and neither does uninstalling Adobe or the other application. So far, the only answer has been to re-image the machine without the option, install the other application and then enable the option (if needed) however, once the option has been enabled, any further attempts to install the application, will fail, reuquiring a re-image.
Any help with how Adobe uses these dlls or what might remedy the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

It looks like the 2 DLLs you mentioned, are getting corrupted or modified due to some operation that might have been performed on them. Can you please try the below mentioned instructions and see if that gets your application to install without any errors:
1. Try installing your business app.
2. When you see the error message as stated, try running the below mentioned commands: (Start | Run | Type cmd and hit Enter)
    regsvr32 LTKRN11n.dll /i /s
    regsvr32 LTKRN11n.dll /s
    regsvr32 LTDIS11n.dll /i /s
    regsvr32 LTDIS11n.dll /s
3. The above commands should fix the issues in the mentioned DLLs and allow normal installation of your business app.
Hope this gets your app to work and install properly.

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.

Updating to 7.10 disabled viewing pdf in browser

updating to 7.10 disabled viewing pdf in web browser which is working normally in 7.09 no matter settings in preference, internet, are all marked to view pdf in browser and allow fast web view etc, every pdf links are opened in a new acrobat window which is something I DON'T WANT.
how is it possible to return it to a normal state to view pdf in browser ?

Since you are producing the PDF, take a look at the ViewerPreferences dictionary in the PDF Reference Manual; for PDF 1.4 it's section 8.1. > ... > Now, I'd like to prevent the users to be able to save the > displayed PDF, because they should be allowed only to read them. > ... However (a) that's only a preference, the viewer may honor it or not, (b) F8 is still there to put the bar back, and last but not least (c) it won't prevent making a copy of the file, but I'm sure it will irritate a lot of your clients (lack of navigation/ zoom/ etc buttons, for one thing).

When I compose an email in either gmail or yahoo, the cursor lags behind for about 2 seconds. This does not happen when I compose an email with Safari or Chrome. I am using a Mac with Firefox version 3.6.3. Any idea why this happens?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Can't uncheck 'display PDF in browser using' on mac

Reader 10.0.0
'display PDF in browser using' in the Internet preferences is stuck on to Adobe Reader. The checkbox is checked/disabled, and cannot be unchecked.
Also, viewing a PDF in the browser via FTP sticks the entire browser (hence my reason for noticing/disabling this plugin)
Had to remove the plugin file from file:///Library/Internet%20Plug-Ins/ to remove.

Hi,
Firstly during the installation of Reader X, there is an option of Customize Install. You can uncheck the Safari browser plugin from there. But this was possible before install. Now since you have installed in default mode (with above option checked during install) the method to disable plugin is as follows:
To disable the plugin-
1. Go to Library > Internet Plug-Ins
2. You will see AdobePDFViewer.plugin in the list of plugins
3. Create a new folder called Disabled Plug-Ins
4. Move the AdobePDFViewer plugin into the Disabled Plug-Ins folder
5. Restart Safari
In future if you want to re-enable this then you can put this plugin back to its original location or Reinstall Reader X (if you have permanently deleted the plug-in from your system). Reinstallation works as installing in repair mode.
AcrobatX/ReaderX uses MANAGED installation method on Mac(as compared to MANUAL installation method used in earlier versions). In case of manual installation method installation and repair was dependent on "Self heal" mechanism that required the admin privileges each time it was invoked. This raised a bit of concern so to remove this Adobe now uses Managed installation method and discontinued Self Heal mechanism.

Viewing pdf in browser window

I know this problem has been addressed in NUMEROUS other threads, but I've read through at least 20 of them now, including threads elsewhere on the web, and NONE of them solve my problems. Neither Safari 3.1.2 or Firefox 3.0.1 will open pdfs within a browser window on my machine (OS 10.4.11, PowerBook G4, pre-Intel chip). I have Adobe Reader 9.0.0 installed, but both the "display pdf in browser using" and "allow fast web view" options are turned off. I have also removed any Adobe pdf plugins from my user/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folders. In an attempt to get things to work, I downloaded and installed PDF Browser Plugin 2.2.3. This plugin is in both folders, and both browsers recognize that the plugin is installed. But both still insist on opening pdf through Adobe Reader. I can get both browsers to open pdfs using the plugin if I use the "open with" option on a pdf and request either Safari or Firefox. In these cases, the pdf will open seemlessly within the browser window. But any time I try to open a pdf through a website, Safari immediately saves to disk and Firefox asks me what I want to do with it (save or open in Reader). There's kind of a workaround in Firefox: if I specify that pdfs be opened by Firefox instead of Reader, they will open automatically in Firefox when I click on them, but they actually get downloaded to my desktop and then opened in a new browser window, so they're not really being opened within the browser--and my desktop ends up cluttered with pdfs that I don't want.
I'm at the end of my rope here, so if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them.
Thanks,
jd

First off, thanks for the help. It appears that things are working now, for the most part--the odd behavior was specific to the particular online pdf file that I happened to be using to test things. I wasn't control clicking on that one, and it still insisted on downloading. But all other pdfs appear to behave normally. Which really does solve my problem, since the right-click option in Safari to "view in Preview" gives me all the functionality that I get with Reader, only quicker.
But just to convince you I'm not crazy for expecting pdf-viewing menus in my browser window, this is from Safari Help:
"When you click a link for a PDF file, Safari displays it in your browser window and provides a toolbar to help you view the file... To view the toolbar, put the mouse pointer in the middle of the PDF page, near the bottom. If you move the pointer away from the toolbar, it disappears after a moment. The toolbar has four icons. Point to each icon to see a label."
I don't get the toolbar. I still have some control through the ctrl-click menu, but no toolbar. The same goes for the google pdf browser plugin. This is from Schubert IT:
"The Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin perfectly integrates into your web browser and with its great Mac look & feel it looks like it always belonged into it. Easy to use and intuitive toolbar buttons give you quick access to the most common features, and a standard Action menu lets you access everything else – even while the toolbar is hidden in cases when you need the maximum screen real estate."
I can't find the toolbar anywhere.
As for OSX being superior to Windows in every regard, I am pretty much inclined to agree with you. Generally Mac deals with pdfs much more smoothly, which is why I was frustrated with my problem. I still think that the Windows browsers play better with Adobe Reader--the integration of Reader into the browser window seems pretty nice on my PC at work. But I'm happy with the solution you've given me, and I'll stay away from Reader in the future. And once I realize how much better life is without Reader, I'll have yet another reason to hate going to work.

IE11 on 2012r2 crashes when viewing PDFs in browser

Hi
I'm trying to deploy Foxit Reader Enterprise 6.1.2.1224 on our terminal services running 2012 R2 with IE11, but every time I try to view a PDF in the browser it just crashed with an access violation c0000005 in Foxitreaderbrowserax.dll (2.2.3.1216). I've also
checked each setting in Foxit to see if that made any difference. I get to see the ATL 3.0 FoxItCtl message in the browser just before it crashes.
Also I found the logs from event viewer regarding Foxit PDF Reader.

/Harish R.

Found the solution!
You Just need to untick "enable protected mode" checkbox in IE settings, security tab.
There is a registry you can edit:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
"2500"=dword:00000003
3 = turn off. 0 = turn on.
If you don't want to be bugged by pop-up window that says something like "you computer is at risk, turn the mode on", there's a registry for that too:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"NoProtectedModeBanner"=dword:00000001
1 = turn of banner. 0 = turn on banner
If it helps, vote my reply :)
Hi,<o:p></o:p>
What i can to do if in the register haven´t this [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\3]
"2500"=dword:00000003
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"NoProtectedModeBanner"=dword:00000001<o:p></o:p>
When I disabled all IE policy get FoxitReader
Control running task. After run control PDF open fine. Then I enable policy´s again and make gpupdate. Log off - log on computer and try open PDF with IE 11, works. How explain this?

Can't view PDF in browser

Running FireFox 3.6.8 - Can't view PDF files in browser. Get a messgae that basically says "Can't not display PDF file in browser. Exit Reader and your browser and try again."

I think this message should go to all who contacted me, and for that I thank you.
It seems I have found the problem, or at least I can now view PDF files. I disabled the FireFox Plug-in "Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4.218" which is described as "Adobe Acrobat Plug-In for FireFox and Netscape 9.3.4".
Not being a genius at computers, I really don't know what has happened. I just know that I went into the "Tools/Addons/Plug-ins" section of FireFox and disabled the above plug-in and the next thing I know I could view PDF files.
Again, thanks to all for trying to help

Problem viewing PDFs on Browser in 10.1.3

I can't download or preview PDFs on browser since installing Adobe Reader 10.1.3 on my MacBookPro OS 10.7.2. The Internet option in the Adobe Reader preferences does not allow me to click on the Display PDF in Browser. The box is shadowed. Not sure how to proceed to fix this problem. I use Firefox 6.0.

Taken from: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf
Dropped support for:
• All versions of Firefox prior to 10.0.

PDF.JS is no longer compatible with Firefox 35 & above. Why is it not being removed?

Noticed that PDF Viewer PDF.JS is not compatible with Firefox version 35 & above.
Then why is it not removed?
