When opening a PDF file I get multiple blank tabs open up instead.

I have installed and uninstalled adobe a few time but nothing changes.
I'm running a new PC with windows 7.

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an Open with download window.
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.

  • When saving a PDF file, it saves multiple of the exact same documents, why/or how do I change those settings?

    When savind a PDF file, it saves multiple of the same document, why?  Are there settings to adjust or what am I doing wrong?

    This might help - I'm not sure:
    Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar).  Click "General" and check "Always close windows when quitting an application."

    I was able to fix the problem with some help from Apple. Whenever I last downloaded Reader, I apparently didn’t complete the process by accepting the Reader contract. I was able to go right to that point in the process and complete the installation. The messages that I needed Reader but it was already installed were quite confusing. It would have been nice if the Adobe installation process that I was re-trying this morning had been able to detect a partial installation. The Troubleshooting page almost had me doing some ridiculous things that wouldn’t have helped.

    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.

  • When I download pdf files in Safari I get a black screen.  However, if I open a pdf in Mail it is viewable in Preview.  How do I fix this?

    When I download pdf files in Safari I get a black screen.  However, if I open a pdf in Mail it is viewable in Preview.  What is wrong?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    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.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    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.

  • When forwarding Word or PDF Files they get corrupted

    I have several users that when they forward either a word document of a pdf file they get corrupted.  If I forward directly from Outlook (2007) they are perfectly fine. 
    Anybody know what is happening?  We tend to send a lot of word/pdf files.
    Thanks

    Okay, let me be specific here.
    I have:
    Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 fully installed and licensed to this computer.
    I also have an older version of Robohelp 7 installed.
    Both have all the updates done.
    The machine also has:
    MS Office 2003
    and the updated Adobe Distiller program.
    What I want to do is to "print" - IE, generate - a Word document version AND a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project.
    (Ignore this part, because this is not the issue. The generation of the files is the issue. Nothing else. The block, and the problem is that I cannot get Word or PDF files to generate from Robohelp 8.)
    What I will do with this is convert the Word doc BACK to Robohelp 7, AND import the Word doc in FrameMaker.
    (But again, we do not care about what I'm going to do with the files. The end result is not important. What is important, again, is:)
    I cannot "print" - IE, generate, a Word document AND/OR a PDF version of my current Robohelp 8 project from the generate dialogue box.
    I'm hoping that this clarifies the issue, since there are no add-ons to what I'm trying to do here. I'm not dancing the angels around the head of the legacy pin, I'm not trying to open a R8 in R7, I'm not trying to cure cancer or shoot a bulls-eye at 1,200 feet.
    I am trying to "print", IE, generate, a Word document OR a PDF from my current Robohelp 8 environment and cannot do so.
    (Sorry for the excessive description, but it looked like we were branching off into realms that weren't the problem at all.)
    In response to Peter - I did try a sample project, and the same issue occurs. When I click "Printed Documentation" in either of the projects, a popup comes up that says "Parameter is Incorrect". This is an unmodified item that I'm opening - stock off the installation.

  • I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

    I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 3 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.

    I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
    The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....

  • Cannot open a pdf file - i get a long string of coding and no text

    I try to open a pdf  file but get a string of codes.

    10.9.5 should be able to run the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader, which should open almost any PDF file.    http://www.adobe.com/ has a place to download the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Preview application can open most Acrobat files, though a few written with the latest Acrobat may not work.   Some forms may not properly become editable under Preview, though you can write text to PDF files independent of forms with Preview.    The fact you are getting codes says that the file is likely an incomplete download of an Acrobat file, or a compressed Acrobat file in some unknown format.    Usually control-clicking the file and selecting Open With will reveal what programs can open it.  Bomarchiver is the built-in decompression tool of Mac OS X, which if selected should open most compressed archives.         Find out the source of the document and determine why it may not be complete, or who compressed it with what.
