Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser.I can download pdfs using fire

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser. I can download pdfs using firefox.

Gilad D,
Thanks for the support.
I would guess the plugin is enabled since when I use Foxfire as my browser, all pdfs download and are readable. (just doesn’t happen when I use IE as my browser, I get a blank screen with a small “x” in the upper left corner)
I will try your proposed solution.

  • Can't exit pdf file in internet explorer.

    When I open a pdf file in internet explorer, I an unable to exit the pdf file.  The only way I can get out of it is by shutting down internet explorer.  I am using internet explorer 11 with windows 7.  Is there a way to resolve this issue??

    Are you trying to open a PDF in a 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?
    If you don't know how to see the version - In Internet Explorer, choose Help > About Internet Explorer. (In some versions of Internet Explorer, select the Question mark in the upper-right corner to select About Internet Explorer).
    To switch to the 32-bit Internet Explorer, first exit 64-bit Internet Explorer. Then double-click the program icon for the 32-bit version:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

  • Unable to open PDF files in Internet Explorer

    Hello,
    One of our users has a problem with opening PDF files in Internet Explorer.
    Translation:
    Adobe PDF-document
    There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Close Adobe Acrobat/Read and try again.
    The user is using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard in combination with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (under an administrator account), deleted the local user profile and the problem is still there.
    Does anyone have an idea about this? The error message doesn't really say what is wrong. Adobe Reader is not installed.

    What exactly means "unable"?  Do you see a little x in a box on the top left of IE11?  If so, this may be the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

  • How to configure to not open pdf files into Internet Explorer 10?

    I have disabled the adobe complements from Internet Explorer and the preferences of Adobe to don't show the pdf files in internet but it keep also doing it.
    How can configure the computer? I am using Internet Explorer 10, Adobe Acrobat 8.1 and Adobe Reader XI
    Thanks for your help

    Hi BG-Zic,
    Acrobat 8 and Reader 11 is not a recommended configuration to install on one machine.
    Please check the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-product-interoperability-install-remove.html
    For disabling the pdf view in Browser please refer the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    There's also a related registry entry :
    1.Click "Start," type "Regedit" into the Search box and press "Enter."
    2.Click "Yes" if a User Account Control prompt appears.
    3.Navigate to the ""HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\[version]\Originals\" key in the left pane of the Registry Editor, where "[version]" is the currently installed version of Adobe Reader.
    4.Create the bBrowserIntegration value if it doesn't exist in the right pane by clicking "Edit," "New." Click "DWORD Value," type "bBrowserIntegration" and press "Enter."
    5.Double-click the bBrowserIntegration value in the right pane.
    6.Type "0" into the value data box and press "Enter."
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

  • Since the last update from firefox I can no longer see my e-mails they just come up as a blank page.If I use windows explorer as my browser I can read them ok,what is causing this?

    I receive e-mails ok and can see the subject,but when I click to open all I see is a blank page.Using another browser I can access my e-mails ok

    This problem can be caused by an Adblock Plus filter.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Displaying pdf files in Internet Explorer 8

    Hi,
    I recently bought Acrobat 10 pro and loaded it on my PC running windows 7 32 bit.
    Now, I can't display pdf's in IE8.  It gives me a grey blank box.  Anybody have any clue what is going on.  There is no problems with the pdfs, as I can easily display them with my laptop.
    Thanks.
    Bob

    Hey, never mind... I loaded 10.0.1 update and its fixed now.  Must have been a bug in 10.0.

  • Unable to open pdf files using Internet Explorer and Adobe 9.1

    We are unable to open any/all pdf files in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 using Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows XP SP2.
    The error message is that IE has a problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
    Clicking "OK" closes IE.
    We did not have any issue with Adobe Reader 8.1.
    What we did to date:
    1. Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1
    2. Run Windows Clean Utility to remove any remnant of Adobe Reader 8
    3. Re-install Adobe Reader 9.1
    Any other suggestions?
    Need to have this upgrade.

    I'm having a similar issue. Prior to upgrading to Acrobat 9.1 I was able to view PDFs from IE 6. No longer. Instead I get a message: "Error opening document. File cannot be found."
    Help?

  • I cannot open any PDF's in Internet Explorer

    Starting just a few days ago, I can no longer open PDF files in Internet Explorer (IE 9). I'm not sure, but this could have started when I upgraded from Reader X 10.1.5 to 10.1.6.
    I can open PDF's fine in Firefox 19.0, just not Internet Explorer. I have tried numerous suggestions that I found in this forum and elsewhere:
    Turned off popup blocker.
    Changed the Internet option in Adobe Reader's preferences to both open PDF's in the browser and not to open the PDF in the browser. Neither option works.
    Tried running Internet Explorer in Compatiilty View for the websites where I am trying to view the PDF files.
    There was a suggestion to clear the Internet Explorer cache. I could not find that option (cache) under the Setting for IE. The closest thing I found was Temporary Internet Files, so I deleted them.
    I uninstalled Adobe Reader and installed an earlier version (10.1.4).
    I made sure that the plugin/extention 'Adobe PDF Helper' was enabled.
    None of the above has helped. I'm just about out of ideas. The fact that I can still open PDF's using Firefox makes this less than an emergency, but I would really like to get this resolved.
    I had some trouble searching this forum (Adobe Reader) thoroughly, so if there is another post out there that has some solutions (other than the 6 items I already tried) please fell free to post a link to it.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I just thought I would add some information (albeit vague) on how I solved this problem. I had another computer (laptop) that was not experiencing this problem. I compared the IE settings on the laptop with the IE settings on my desktop and changed all the settings on the desktop to match the laptop. I then restarted IE on my desktop and was able to open PDF files! Since it was working for me, I didn't go back and try to figure out which of the changed settings led to the solution to the problem. If enough people on the forum request it, I will try to go back and isolate the pertinent settings.

  • How can I import my Favourites, cookies etcetera from Internet Explorer 9 into Firefox 7?

    I used Internet Explorer 9 before, but I want to start using Firefox 7 as my standard browser, but I want to keep my old Favourites. How can I do that?

    If Firefox doesn't offer to import the Opera bookmarks then export the bookmarks in Opera to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.

  • I've discovered that I can't download files in yahoo only, Gmail works ok and I can download from yahoo using Internet Explorer.

    I've tried all the suggested solutions in: What to do if you can't download or save files.
    I can't download from Yahoo, but can from Gmail. I've tested using copies of the same file on both. Someone suggested checking malware, but I've run a scan and don't have a problem, and as I say, i can use Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Someone asked for a screen shot, who knows why.

    Hi ...
    Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
    From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference ...
