WinXP SP3 FF24 (a) FF stopped putting pdf in tabs yesterday (b) updated adobe plugin to v11 today and FF will not load pdf's AT ALL.

In part (a) of my question I did not change anything at all, but suddenly lost the ability to have tabbed pdf files and could not get it back. So today I saw that the reader plugin was out of date.
Adobe reader XI (updated today from X) works by itself, but the plugin, which FF told me to update, and now says "up-to-date" does not work at all, and I will be forced to use IE, which I hate, to do my job.
Yes I rebooted the machine when told by Adobe installation.

Actually I wanted to use the built-in viewer, but I could not get it to work, because I was confused--there is one item that states "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 document" (setting this didn't do anything) and another which is the correct "Portable Document Format..."
which I have now set correctly so it works for my coursework on Blackboard. For some weird reason many sites which I usually download pdf's from seem to be "not found" 404 err, etc, and I can't test things.

I have a ipad 1. I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop.

Anyone had these issues?

Reader will not load pdf files

my adobe reader will not load pdf files. I tried un-installing and re-downloading the reader. same thing it won't work. It works on my other computer

The operating system is Windows 7. I get error message "there is no email program to perform the requested action". I get same error for local C: drive, jump drive, online firefox or microsoft browser. same problem.
I fixed the problem by un-installing adobe xi and re-downloading adobe x. Its working great. adobe xi may work OK on windows 8. I have a laptop with Windows 8. I will be trying that tomorrow. I will send you a message.

IPad and iBooks will not display pdf text in form fields.

I use pdf forms to create assignments for my students and would like to use the iPad to mark the assignments afterwards. I would use something like iAnnotate to add comments and text freehand but apparently the Apple's PDF rendering engine can not handle complex PDFs. Any thoughts?
http://support.ajidev.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/63/0/what-to-do- if-a-pdf-does-not-draw-correctly

I haven't installed it, but I seem to remember hearing that the adobe pdf reader app allows for people to enter forms. If that doesn't work, there should be other pdf reader apps that allow for forms to be utilized.

Updated Adobe Reader to 11.x, now it does not recognize pdf files

Ok. I don't know how to explain this so I'll do my best. Please let me know if you need more information.
I updated my Adobe Reader to X and noticed that all of the sudden any files that were sent to me via e-mail would not open up. I use Outlook Express to access my gmail account because we have multiple accounts that we use and I haven't figured out how to do that with Outlook! Anyway, this is always the response I would get. It would ask me if I want to open this file. It would give the name.pdf and the type is AcroExch.Document. If I click open, I get the following warning: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.
Now if I go to save the file and I just saved it to my desktop, I can open it that way. I don't really want to always have to save files to my desktop or whatever just to open then and see what they are about. I do know that earlier I was having the same issue on my desktop- that it wouldn't recognize the pdf file, but I figured out how to make that association. So I'm wondering how to do this on e-mail.
I have the latest version of Adobe Reader, which I guess now is 11. What else should I do?
Thanks in advance!
Jennifer

Ok sorry I've taken so long to respond. The reply button wouldn't pop up for me to reply!
There was never a dialog box asking for me to select the program from installed programs when I open the pdf from outlook express. But when I opened a pdf from my desktop it asked that question and I had it "always use this program to open this type of file." So I assumed that it was would work when opening from outlook express. But it doesn't.
I've tried unclicking the protected mode button under the preferences general section. And finally I'm not sure how to post screenshots of the attachment thumbnail and dialog. I'm looking all over my keyboard for a button to push I don't have a clue as to what to do! I do have a print Scr button but when I click on it nothing happens. I've tried holding down the shift key and the button and the alt key and print scr button but nothing happens.
Could it be that somehow it's not recognizing ARCO.EXCH.DOCUMENT as that's what it thinks the type of document is?
I've already created an association for pdf files and it'll open them on my desktop, just not in outlook express.

PDF.js will not load pdfs (other browswers do fine) just upgraded to 29.0

No error message, no load. v29.0 upgraded this morning. OSX 10.6.8.

Hi gbilodeau,
There was an issue with printing, but not viewing. In order to further investigate can you please include the following:
# An example of a pdf that is not showing in the pdf.js file
# What version of 29? 29.0.1?
Thank you, I am looking forward to your response.

FF will not load PDFs on my MacBook Pro. I get a message sending me to the Apple Quicktime plugin download site but not told which one I need if any. I need to be able to download PDFs.

I upgraded to FF4 and have not been able to download a single PDF file. I get a message sending me to the Apple Quicktime site for additional plug ins but no information on what I am to upload. Next time it happens I will copy the exact statement. This is very frustrating as I need to be able to download PDFs to get some required files.

So keeping using Adobe Acrobat Pro. Check this feature table

If the features you need are not marked "Microsoft® Windows® only", then they will be available in the Mac OS X version of Acrobat Pro.
it does not let me print only certain pages of a file
Nonsense. First, what pages are printed does not depend on the printer driver, but on the application. The driver prints whatever the application sends to it. Second, Mac OS X's bundled PDF viewer, Preview (there are others) even has a dedicated command for this function -- File > Print Selected Pages…, or ⌥⌘P.

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents.

Acrobat X and XI will not print many pdf documents. When I click Print, the document fades and I get a dialog box that says "Adobe Acrobat has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I was experiencing this with Acrobat X so I upgraded to XI, but the problem is exactly the same. I am using Windows 7 Professional operating system.

Thank you for your reply. I have several printers available on our network,
the program doesn't even go as far as allowing me to select a printer. I am
trying to print to an HP 1320n or a LANIER MP C5502 PCL 6. I have changed
the default printer, but the result is still the same. In does the same
thing with Adobe (Standard XI) PDF set as the default printer.

IBooks will not sync PDF collections with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but not the content?

My IBooks will not sync PDF content with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but no content. Both devices are set to sync collections? Any ideas how to fix this?

The 'sync collections' setting does not copy books or PDFs between devices - all it does is if you have the book on both devices and you move it into a collection on one of them, then it will be put into the same collection on the other device.
You will need to sync each PDF that you want on your phone. If you don't currently have them on your computer then connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks on it do File > Move Books From iTunes in the iBooks app on it, and you can then sync them to your iPhone.

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter

Safari will not open PDF

It use to work fine, but lately, Safari will not open PDF files from certain sites. It is OK when a site downloads a pdf to open it. It downloads it and Preview then opens it. But for other sites such as my bank web site, it opens the pdf within Safari and I just get a blank page.
It use to work, any idea how I can fix that?

Your problem isn't solved, you just added to it. Safari is perfectly capable of displaying PDF files without using any third-party applications or plugins, but you just installed one. Acrobat Reader is bloatware and totally unnecessary, so if you want to use Safari's built-in capability, do this:
1. Quit Safari if it's running.
2. Launch Acrobat Reader and go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box for the section at the top labeled "Display PDFs in browser using:".
3. Go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and delete the Adobe Reader plugin.
4. Enter this command in Terminal, press Enter, then quit Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false
Restart Safari and try dragging a PDF file from your Mac directly into an open browser window; it should render without any problems.
