Wont display pdf files from bookmarked sites

I've upgraded to Firefox 4 and now when I go to some of bookmarked sites that have attached PDF files, I'm unable to view those PDF files. I didn't have this problem with Firefox 3.5, however, per your suggestion, I've downloaded Firefox 4 to avoid any possible security issues. Any possible solutions, or is it possible to revert to using 3.5 w/0 any security issues?

Plug-in PDF, Internet Explorer, unable to open a pdf file from web site. Question mark

Hello,
A computer where Acrobat 9 Standard and Acrobat Reader 9 have been installed.
When I try to read a pdf file from a web site and read it in IE, I get a popup whith a question mark and no text.
The pdf file is not open.
I have try to reinstall the last reader but the problem is not solved.
Thanks for your help.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Try using Protected Mode Off. Then you will be at the same level of security that those other programs are running at. You could also try elevating the iexplore.exe task. That would turn off Protected Mode in that task automatically but then
you would be running also with Administrator level authority which might be excessive.

How to display Pdf file in iPad site

Hi
How to display Pdf file in web page which can able to view in iPad safari?
Thanks,
Arun

You can't really.
You need to use DHTML in the swf-wrapper HTML file, usually a
division wrapped iFrame, and load the PDF into the iFrame as an
overlay to the Flash.

When wanting to download a PDF file from a site, when cliicking on the link, Firefox 3.6.13 goes to a blank page. Previous versions worked perfectly. How do I fix this please?

Since no window shows up asking where to download, etc as happens in other browsers (Opera) and in previous versions of Firefox, no able to click on a web site link to download a PDF file. Just goes to a blank page.

Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.
Kaspersky: Protection > Firewall > Filtration system: disable the "Banner Ad Blocker"

Safari doesn't display pdf file from within Dropbox

When I click on a link on a web page that takes me to a pdf file located in a shared Dropbox folder, Safari only gives me a solid black page and doesn't open the pdf file. All the other browsers do, Chrome, Firefox and even IE. How can I fix this? I have Mountain Lion and the latest version of Safari. Pdf-plugin-244 is installed. I tried the suggestion in another posting about viewing pdf files in Safari, and it didn't fix the problem.

Pdf-plugin-244 is installed.
Test without it.

Opening .ppt or .pdf files from flash site

I'm trying to open a .ppt file directly into powerpoint or a
.pdf file directly into adobe reader. When I use the GetURL
actionscript they always open in IE. Is it possible and how do I do
it? I'm a newbie to flash so please keep your explanations simple

Hi,
I read your thread with great interest and it sounds exactly
like what I'm looking for. The only downside is I can't seem to get
it to work. I have detailed below what I need to happen and what I
think I need to do to make it happen.
What I need to happen:
Open a .pdf or a .ppt in Adobe Reader or Powerpoint (for
respective file extensions) by clicking on a button contained on a
.swf movie. The scenario is that the .swf file is located in C:\My
Folder\flash.swf and the .pdf or .ppt are in the same folder.
What I need to do to make it happen:
Create a folder in the following location C:\My
Folder\fscommand
Create a .bat file (called pdflauncher.bat) and save it in
C:\My Folder\fscommand - the .bat file has the code start
\myfile.pdf
Create a button on the .swf file with the actionscrip as
below:
on (release) {
fscommand("exec", "pdflauncher.bat");
This is what I've done based on reading through your previous
thread but it doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Colin

Lately when I launch Firefox an alert window comes up asking of I want this program to make changes to the computer. Also, I am unable to download PDF files from other sites.

This Problem started about two weeks ago.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

Unable to open PDF files from website

hi friends,
I am using iPad Air and iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to open PDF files from below site in safari,
http://www.iar.com/Products/IAR-visualSTATE/User-guides/
ftp://ftp.iar.se/WWWfiles/vs/QuickStartTutorial.pdf
it shows error as "Safari can not open the page because it could not load any data".
KIshore.

Safari seems to have trouble with FTP sites. You may need another Browser to open these PDFs. Opera seems to Work.

Problems opening pdf-files from KM of portal

Hi,
we store documents in our portal in KM. When I use pdf-files that where not saved with Office2007 tools I get the problem, that I can open the file once. If I open it the second time I get the error message "file doesn't start with "%PDF-". and the file will not be opend. If I delete the temporary files in the internet explorer, the file can be opended, again.
If I open the file directly in the internet explorer I don't have those problems, so it seems, that the portal uses a different viewer than the internet explorer itself.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Regards
Ulrike

Ulrike,
I think this is a known issue.
Affected versions:
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 14
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 15
If you have the above KMC and SP Versions then you need to follow the below SAP note:
Note 1146711 - Problem opening PDF files.
Have you checked the belowSAP Note?
Note 954627 - Issues with opening/displaying PDF files from KM
