12 Firefox (Mac): PDF file is not displayed

I get only a blank in Firefox screen when I click a PDF web link. I tried most of the solutions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html
Some of the solutions suggested that I can't try. For example, in the Adobe Reader preferences the check mark "view in browser" is grayed out, I can't deselect.
If I disable the plugin I can download the PDF file when I click on a link.
Safari has no problem to display PDF documents.
Mac OS x Lion, Firefox 12.0

See-> https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2012/05/04/adobe-reader-blocked-mac/

There is a specific problem of Mac with Adobe Reader. Adobe is working on a fix.

Rather than use the plugin to display PDF files in Firefox, open the PDF files in Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat

    Hi drrayudu,

    Please make sure you use the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader update.

    Go to the Edit menu > Preferences > General and check the box for 'enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer '.

    Click OK to save the settings.

    Let us know if you still experience the problem.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Please tell the Reader/Acrobat version you use.

    Also say work on the operating system.

    You can try the next step and see if that helps.

    Launch Reader/Acrobat > Navigate to Edit > preferences > Page Display > rendering > smooth text choose to monitor and click OK.

    See if that helps.

  • Lately on the Web, pdf files are not correctly; What is the problem and how can I fix this so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a teacher and often need to open the PDF files of academic electronic databases of journal articles. In the last two or three weeks, when I try to do it using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf display and the rest are empty. In addition, a bar appears in the upper part with the message "this pdf file cannot be displayed properly." So I had to switch to Internet Explorer to open files and do my research. What happens and how can I fix this problem so that you can open PDFs from the Web in Firefox and ask them to work correctly?

    Hello, firefox 19 introduced its own Viewer integrated pdf - if you want to switch it to the plugin you used before displaying a PDF file just go to the firefox options > applications and scroll down and set the default action for the portable document (pdf) format.

  • PDF files do not run video created with Captivate

    I create videos eLeaning with Adobe Captivate and the resulting video is generated in a PDF and HTM file. For some such e-Learning, the PDF file does not work. the window opens and the bar for OCD and a small window black where the video to load, display. It's as if the video is loading but nothing happens.

    I am using windows 7 OS. Captivate isn't a problem because the HTM files generate properly. Adobe Reader is also not a problem because some of the videos load perfectly. There are only a few videos that give a problem. No idea what could be wrong. If you would be grateful if anyone has an advisor.

    You can send it to my email address. And remember to send me your details.

    My new Office Jet 8500 (A910-G) seems to correctly perform a scan to PDF, but the PDF file does not open, gives me the error message "the selected document cannot be opened" in PDF Complete.

  • Thumbnails of files is not displayed correctly?

    My question is specific to the video files by extensions of: .avi, .mkv, .mp4, .flv

    On my desk, I have 1 .avi file. It displays a thumbnail of a still image of the film. Yet many others my .avi or other video files do not display a thumbnail of a still image. Can someone tell me why this is and if possible, how to solve this problem, so that all my video files display a thumbnail of a still image of the file?

    Thank you!

    I would offer 3 suggestions. They are not mandatory.
    If you agree to try them, do, in the order they are listed. If you're working, stop doing the rest of the list.

    1 do a full scan. Your machine may have caught something.

    2 do a check of the filesystem (sfc/scannow)

    Start button > Search box type cmd > look up, do a RIGHT click oncmd.exe > click onRun As Administrator > in this window cmd black and white, type at the prompt flashing sfc/scannow > press theENTER key.
    Note: there is a space between 'sfc' and ' / '.
    To sit and wait. It will take time.
    When finished, exit the cmd window.
    Reboot (restart your computer)

    3 do a check disk (chkdsk/f/r)
    Start button > Search box, type cmd > look up, right-click oncmd.exe> click on Run As Administrator >

    in the black and white window, at the command prompt flashes, type chkdsk/f/r > press the Enter key.
    Note: there is a space between 'chkdsk' and ' / '.
    The screen will say something like cannot do it now, but you want to run it on reboot. Click on 'y' as in Yes > press > window cmd of output.
     
    Restart your computer. It will take a while. DO NOT stop the machine. Just wait.

    I found the solution:

    I had to reset panels to view the Pages again.
