  • Impossible to get a PDF file to be opened with Acrobat in Safari

    I can't Safari to open or download the PDF files in Acrobat.

    If I go to a page that contains a pdf file, it opens in preview.

    If I go on a page (such as my online banking sites) who download statements, it does nothing.  I just get a non-printable screen.

    It works on other computers running Safari 5.1.2 and Mac OS 10.6.8.

    A clue: for some reason, Adobe Acrobat (I have both) or the Adobe Reader plugin appears in/user/library/internet plugins.  In fact there is nothing in this record.  I have configured Acrobat preferences to display PDFs in the browser.

    Any help out there?

    Hello, I would be grateful for any input on a problem I have with my new computer. When I try to open or to view Adobe PDF files, they are not open.
    When you open a PDF in a Web site, I get the error message that internet Explorer has stopped working. Does not display a Web site.

    Have you tried that?

    "Configure the browser to open PDF files in Acrobat window.

    If you want the browser to open PDFs in a separate Acrobat window, to set the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application. Then, when you select a PDF file in Internet Explorer or AOL, the browser opens the PDF file in an Acrobat window instead of the browser window.

    To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:

    1. quit Internet Explorer or AOL.

    2. launch Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

    3 Choose Edition > Preferences.

    4. Select Internet in the list on the left.

    5 disable the display option IN the browser, and then click OK.

    6. restart Internet Explorer or AOL.

    Note: The next time you select a link to a file PDF, the browser may ask you to open or save the file. If you choose to open the file, the browser opens the file in the support application that you specified. If you choose to save the file, the browser downloads the file to the hard drive.

    The files are primarily downloaded / saved on my desktop through Safari. Here are the files PDF that I previously helped to open but all of a sudden cannot.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! ... Thank you!!

    Oops... too late - I felt it was pretty simple and legitimate given I could recovered files that I deleted from my library, and downloading has been on the official Adobe site yet...

    In any case - to complete this process successfully!

    It actually works – remove the two original files in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, and then download Adobe Reader from the Adobe site 10.1.4. What is the best, I'm far from being technical interest, yet found this is simple to fill out!

    I have tested the phone bill PDF I mentioned earlier and another 'Report' (PDF) file that both have been saved from the Internet directly on my desk. The previous two files don't open always, however, the newly registered copies these files reopen very well!

    Thanks mate for putting me on this link-, it worked a treat bloody!

  • I can longer open attached pdf files. I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.

    * Original title: attachments

    Help, please.

    I did something wrong (AGAIN!)

    I had no problem with access to attachments to my e-mails, but a problem occurred just.

    I can longer open attached pdf files.  I am able to preview the files, but they are too small for me to read.  When I click to open all the I get now is a kind of icon (in Microsoft Office Picture Manager) with which I can't do anything.

    It seems I should have arranged for Picture Manager automatically opens attachments to emails, but when this happens, I'm stuck as what I try, I can't do pdf files appear as they did.

    The help file does not really help.

    I hope it is something simple, even an old fool like me can do with your expert (and, I hope. friendly) help.

    My fingers are crossed.

    My apologies if I offended Protocol - this is my first venture.regards

    Hello

    You will need to download Adobe Reader from this link. Once installed, the PDF files will be opened in the traditional way that you will serve from earlier versions of Windows, allowing you to open multiple files at once and move the windows.
    If, after installing Adobe Reader, files continue to open full screen, please follow the steps below.
    1. Open the start screen
    2. Type "default" without the quotes
    3. Click default programs
    4. Click set your default programs
    5. Click on Adobe Reader
    6. Click set this program as default

  • How can I PERMANENTLY change the default printer to Adobe PDF files using my physical printer instead of SIMPLY printing a pdf in a new PDF file?

    Whenever I restart Adobe Reader DC default printer is automatically reset to print any PDF file to the "print to PDF file" as the default printer.  How can I change the "default printer" always default to be my physical default printer, instead of "print of PDF?»»»

    PRINTING a document which is already a pdf file to a pdf file is absolutely ridiculous and stupid for the following reasons:

    1. If you want to save a document that is already a pdf in different PDF file, you can use the function "Save as" in the file menu.
    2. If the user select "Print" to PRINT a file they ther NOT try to SAVE a file.  (We'll give credit to the average user to understand the difference between PRINTING and SAVING of a document).
    3. Most of the users do not need to duplicate the storage of a document on their drives to computer
    4. Users of mobile devices, by the fact that they have already downloaded the PDF file have already used storage space of EXTREMELY valuable and LIMITED memory with the download of origin and most certainly so NOT to use more than this space such a resource limited printing!

    As an engineer, hardware and software for the past 40 + years to really understand the value of making easy allow the end user to change the configuration of something as simple as the setting for the default printing device to use!

    For the record, I searched the online help as well as the forum Adobe Reader community for a thread that explains how to change the printer by default so that whenever I starts the Adobe service it will automatically use the printer default physical connected to my computer to "PRINT" any PDF document.  If I missed something that deals with this problem please point me about it, if no such band rolling exists, then please tell me before making this change.

    Thank you for your help in this matter!

    Sincerely,

    Larry A. Coates

    What product Adobe can create a PDF file that can not be changed or printed by the recipient?

    Hi quoman,

    Looks like you're wondering how to add security to a PDF file. You will need Acrobat Pro or Standard to do. If you do not have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
