When I open a document in Firefox with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to print it (no problem when using Internet Explorer)

I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit), using Firefox 8.0. When I open a document with Adobe Reader 9, I am unable to do anything with it (print, save, etc.) other than view it. When I use Internet Explorer I don't have this problem.

Not sure what you mean by truncated troubleshooting report, but here's what I copied from "troubleshooting" under "help". My printer is selected as the default printer in Devices and Printers. Also, remember that a document that won't print in Firefox prints fine in Internet Explorer.

  • Unable to open attached documents in emails with Adobe Reader 9

    I get emails with attachments but when i try to open,  i keep getting a warning saying .... ADOBE READER CAN NOT OPEN DOCUMENT BECAUSE IT IS EITHER NOT SUPPORTED FILE TYPE OR FILE HAS BEEN DAMAGED.....etc.    I presumed that as the attachments  were most likely WORD documents (and I only have Microsoft WORKS) that this was the reason.   So i downloaded the free Microsoft Word reader but still unable to read.   I send the emails to friends to open and they send them back to me.....Its becomming a bit annoying for them understandly....Can anyone help me...Many thanks

    By email client I mean the email program: Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, ...
    But anyway, this is of no importance; it is your file association that is wrong: Word documents (.doc, .docx) must be associated with Word, or in your case Word Viewer, not Adobe Reader.  This is why you cannot view your attachments.
    On the other hand, the installation of Word Viewer should have corrected that, not sure why it didn't.
    What I would do if I encountered your situation:
    uninstall Adobe Reader and Word Viewer
    reinstall Adobe Reader and Word Viewer

  • When I open a document from a database (remote) It shows blank. The database application expects Adove to be used.

    THE APPLICATION IS NAMED "Master Control". When I open a document it shows blank and the name is always "version-#.pdf". No matter what the size of any file shows to be around 5kB. I am using Linux Ubuntu 10.04.
    If I use MS Windows and Explorer then everything works fine. Can you help?
    Thanks

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

    When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

    Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

  • I cannot open my Hotmail emails from Firefox. I have been on the hotmail Help Forum and they suggest to use Internet Explorer. Does Forefox not support Hotmail now?

    Hi,
    I can log into hotmail but cannot open my emails or go to Sent items or anything. I have gone on the Hotmail Help Forum and MANY people are having the same problem. Hotmail say we should use Internet explorer and they do not really answer about using Firefox.
    People using Firefox 3 and 4 are having problems.
    Also, i downloaded Forefox 4.0.1 and it was not fully compatible with Kaspersky - has this problem also now been resolved?
    In summary - is Forfox 4.0.1 NOT comaptible with Hotmail and Kaspersky?

    Sorry, I can't help with Hotmail, beyond clearing the cache - I haven't used it for 11 or 12 years now. Surprising that a Firefox 3.6 version would have trouble there, as 3.6 has been around for well over a year and Hotmail problems are usually with a recent release of Firefox.
    IMO, if Hotmail support can't help you with Firefox issues on their website and can only recommend using IE, maybe it's time to change web mail service providers. My advice is to signup with a different web mail service, one that takes Firefox seriously. Then set up forwarding in your Hotmail account to have all your Hotmail emails forwarded to that new account. Then slowly transition your email contacts over to the new email address over time. As long as you log in to Hotmail every month or two, your account there should stay active and emails sent there should get forwarded to the new email account. I have done that three times in the last decade, and the first one I transitioned from was still forwarding email thru the two intermediary accounts to my current account until last summer when that service finally changed owners and they wanted all new accounts set up or transitioned to their new software - which I didn't do - and I hadn't even signed into my account there in over 4 years and "forwarding" was still working.

  • How to open hyperlinks in a pdf with Adobe Reader 9?

    We publish a digital journal with hyperlinks to various sources. After installation of Adobe Reader version 9 we are not able anymore to open the hyperlinks. Looking to the discussion Fora we also followed the procedure to disable the PDF/A mode of view. Then the Reader mentions that it tries connecting the website of the source and asks permission to do so. I give that permission, but nothing happens then. This is really a problem for us and I cannot imagine that this is not soluble. We use internet explorer newest version.

    We are experiencing a similar problem with hyperlinks in Reader 9.3.4 but this is with PDF not /A files from which we call SWF movies.
    We have training products produced in Acrobat 6, as PDFs which have hyperlinks to run Flash movies (SWFs). The products are installed from CD onto users' hard drives.
    The products have worked on hundreds of PCs and Macs, but as each customer updates to Reader 9.3.4 they report failure to open the SWFs.
    The SWFs are organised in a hierarchy of folders depending on exact topic. All the movies are inside a "data" folder, then main topic folders, down to sub-topic folders.
    I have found that the PDF hyperlinks will open a copy of the relevant SWF if it is placed in the same folder as the calling PDF, but not when it is in its rightful position down the path.
    The initial error message shown when files are in their correct folders says e.g.  "Cannot find anchoring_one.swf" suggesting that only the filename is called and not the path. However the second message, displayed when the first is acknowledged, says e.g. "Cannot open data/anchoring/anchoring_one.swf" So the hyperlink IS outputting the full path, but somehow it it is being truncated to file name only.
    Seems that the call is produced from the hyperlink correctly, and registers with the system as full path. Then the call is passed forward to a function which should actually open the file and here loses its path, so file-open fails and returns a "Cannot Find" message. The return code from this function is passed back as a failure, to the prior function which still knows the path. This prior function then issues the "Cannot Open" message, including the full path.
    Is is totally impractical for us to rewrite and re-issue the programs in any other format, or stop thousands of independent customers from upgrading to Reader 9.3.4
    I hope Adobe can fix this issue VERY quickly.

  • When using Firefox, when I click on 'webmail' in either my work or personal email accounts nothing happens. But the mouse works using Internet explorer to open these accounts. Why?

    So in Firefox, my mouse doesn't operate for the above. Nor can I click on certain links when in Firefox but in Internet Explorer the mouse functions fine. I Like firefox better than IE but is currently uninstalled. This problem started after I chaged anti-virus software.

    Recently both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • Opening .PDF's in IE7 with Adobe Reader 9.0 & Adobe Writer 5.0

    Hi
    I am running a XP Pro environment on a HP D530 machine. I have installed on this PC Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Writer 5.0. I have defaulted through the folder options all .PDF and adobe related files to open in 9.0 and done the normal 'open with' option aswell. Problem is on this internet ticker link i have/use, all the .PDF's posted on there always default to 5.0 and produce a error saying i need to upgrade to a higher version. If i leave 9.0 open then it will default to them without any issue. Is there any regkeys or files in 5.0 or 9.0 i can change so i can set all files to 9.0 Reader?
    I have been told the ticker is only used to link to the files and does not have any code that dictates how the .PDF's open.
    Any adive or ideas would be of great help! :-)

    With Acrobat 7 you can only send out Browser Based Review, (which is replaced by shared reviews in version 9).
    The reviewers will need to open the PDF inside a browser, and have access to the location of the PDF to be reviewed.
    Acrobat 8 can do both types still, have a look here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WSB7237F9D-E90A-4c6 b-8C0D-58C7B2063B1D.html
    And here's a tutorial for those situations whereby reviewers do not have access to the server location of the Reviewed PDF:

    Hi antsa,
    Are you using Adobe Acrobat?
    Reader cannot be used to create pdfs. Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
    If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf  with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
    If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
    Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
    Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
    Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.
    Regards,

  • When I open a new tab firefox doesnt redirect me to it. Im not asking about links just when I click(+) to open a new tab it doesnt go to it

    This problem started when I updated firefox to the current realease

    As far as I know, this has never been a feature of Firefox's core. Do you have an addon such as New Tab JumpStart or New Tab King that gave you this feature in Firefox 4? It's possible that whatever addon gave you this feature before hasn't been updated to work with Firefox 5. If you don't want to wait for that addon to update, you could try either of the addons I mentioned above.
    Here's NTJS: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-jumpstart/
    And NTK: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-king/

  • When using Firefox with ATT/Yahoo mail, the contacts list does not display. If I use Windows Explorer with ATT/Yahoo mail, the contacts list works fine.

    No additional details. I just need to know how to solve the problem.

    If you read the article [[Websites look wrong]], does it help any? I would recommend trying each step in that article, restart, test, if it doesn't work, move to the next step.

  • Cant open PDFs from government websites with Adobe Reader X 10.1.3.

    Have uninstalled and reinstalled.  Keep getting "Opening 16.8Kb/0.0Kb" (for example) on a gray screen.  Refresh doesn't help.

    Hi Ankit... I used Windows 7 on a PC with IE9.  I discovered yesterday that some will open after about 5 mins or a refresh, but for other people the PDFs open much more quickly (although others I know have the same problems I do).
    This is the website that wont work well for me ... any of the reports under Latest Reports.

  • How to return to a document-intern hyperlink with adobe reader x?

    A well structured WORD document contains a lot of internal hyperlinks. They survive within the equivalent PDF-Dokument. Therein it es quite easy to follow the links by clicking onto them. But there seams to be no possibility to return to the source position of the specific hyperlink. I'm sorry that I found no help until now.

  • How come I could print coupons with previous versions of firefox such as versions 2 and 3 and I can't with the current version? It is frustrating because every time I want to print a coupon I to use internet explorer.

    none.

    Are you sure that Firefox gets the plugins from the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory and not from another location.
    Did you try to place the symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?
    See [[Troubleshooting plugins]] on how to see the path of all plugins.
