When I try to open a pdf file, firefox 8.0 abruptly closes. I then have to use Explorer.

Installed 8.0 recently

Download Reader X (http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/) and see if it continues.
You should also update to Firefox 8.0.1 (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/)

  • When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes

    When I try to open a PDF file the reader flashes on the screen then closes. I have to open the reader, then search for the pdf file through the reader. I'm using Adobe Reader 11.0.5 with windows 7 service pack 1 home premium. Is there any way I can just click on a PDF file and the reader automaticaly opens? I purchased the upgrade so I can convert PDF to Word but it didnt make any difference.

    Some things to try...
    Update Reader to version 11.0.06
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

    Your file association is corrupted; reinstalling or repairing Adobe Reader will likely fix it.
    If you want to fix it manually, tell us your operating system & version.

    When I try to open a pdf file I get the message: "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." I've downloaded the latest reader, but that has made no difference. I use a Mac 10.8.2. Any suggestions or info?

    Does this happen with every PDF file or a specific one ? Maybe the file is really damaged.

    Something is definitely wrong with your install of Reader.
    A PDF consists of only the number of pages it was created with.  Reader can and will only open those pages... IF it's installed and working properly.
    Opening multiple blank pages from a document which contains none is a clear sign that the software isn't functioning. It's like putting a movie into a DVD player, and your TV starts a picture slide show of your last Summer's vacation. Not possible unless there's something seriously wrong.
    Uninstall Reader 9.
    Use either Adobe's clean uninstaller or Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2. exe) to remove all Reader installer files from your system.
    Reinstall Reader 9 from a new download (do not use the old one if you still have it on your system)

  • Why do I keep getting a pop-up window that says install Java when I try to open a pdf file?

    Why do I keep getting a pop-up window that says install Java when I try to open a pdf file?

    (You can take screenshots of the windows in your computer using Alt+PrintScreen... No need to use a camera)
    This is quite odd. Where did you get the Reader installer from? I would suggest uninstalling it and then downloading the installer from Adobe (here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ ) and re-installing it.

  • Since I installed adobeX when I try to open a pdf file I get an error message

    message "adobe cannot locate a DDE server".   But it works OK when I use Chrome, but not when I try to open a file on my hard drive or while using MS IE.

    You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

  • MJB: when I try to open a pdf-file within Firefox, a message tells me this is not supported

    When I go to a webpage that contains a pdf-file, Firefox tells me that "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Please exit Adober/Acrobat/Reader and exit your web browser and try again.
    It is ONLY in Firefox that I get this message, IE and Crome works fine.
    == Operating system ==
    Win XP pro

    Please follow this Adobe TechNote[http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405461.html Error "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser"] and see if it helps.

  • When I try to open a pdf file, it will only save. It worked fine before 3.6.6.

    I want to open a pdf file in Preview on my Mac. Now it will only save it even though the preferences have been set correctly. It worked fine before 3.6.6 version.

  • When I try to open an PDF file in the Firefox browser, the file reconizes a HTML file instead of PDF.

    See question. The Adobe plugin is installed. It looks like Firefox attaches html to the file name.
    I click on link on internet. A screen appears that says:
    You have chosen to open (filename*.pdf) The icon for the file name shows an Internet Explorer icon. The it says: which is a: Acrobat Reader file. What should Firefox do with this file, you have two options: Open WIth and save file.

    " Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder" . i can't find open containing folder in profile directory. it does give me the option to open the places.sqlite file using graphic converter. when i try that, graphic converter gives me a window saying that it can't be opened because it is corrupted or is not a file type supported by graphic converter.
    i appreciate your help with a workaround to get the old bookmarks. that works. however, the problem has morphed from that concern to why adobe reader [the default app.] won't open firefox .sqlite files. is the problem in adobe reader or firefox? also, how can i tell if the places.sqlite file is corrupt?
    i'm getting in over my head here and do appreciate your help.
