Can't open .pdf or .jpg

A few weeks ago, either inadvertently, I changed a setting or when I upgraded my Firefox, now I am unable to open any .pdf, .jpg, etc. on Web sites or my webmail. If I try to save the file on the hard drive, all I get is a zero-byte file.

Hey,.

now, this means that one of your modules is at the origin of the problem. Try disabling an add-on at a time to see which one it is.

  • I can't open pdf files in firefox, and I tried all the solutions proposed by others. How can I reactivate pdf in firefox?

    I have recently switched to Firefox to Google Chrome, and I find that I can't open all PDFs from the web in some way in Firefox. I can't download them and open them in Adobe Reader and I can't preview them in Firefox, or I can use the plugin from Adobe. I tried to use the solutions posed by users on this site, but none of them have worked. Whenever I have an amendment to the settings to try to resolve this problem, change never allows me to view the pdf file, and the setting reverts to the previous setting after the browser is restarted. I don't like how to display the file, but I need to be be able to see a preview or I need to be able to download it.

    I use an adobe download add-on, 3.0.0.2, and I have disabled. Now, I can actually open pdf files in my browser shows a preview, or download them as I see fit. Thank you!

    But clearly, there is an error with the add-on.

  • FixIt can not open PDF files

    I can't open PDFs in Firefox - I get a gray screen stating "this plugin is vulnerable and needs to be updated". I go to updates for Fixit and the link takes me to things that I don't understand. I've been using Foxit Reader and this is my default player. I have no problem with Internet Explorer it works very well, it's just with Firefox which I prefer by far apart from this problem.
    I changed FixIt as my AVG Free software was telling me there is a problem with Adobe Reader XI (11.0.01) and so I got feed with it I deleted Adobe from my computer
    I had several suggestions to support Foxit, but nothing seems to work.
    I have reset Firefox by default given parameters always get the same message.
    Help, please

    Hi - Thanks for that - I just did a reinstall of Fixit as you mentioned, and the problem is always the same.
    I want to emphasize that I had five support proposals Fixit (yours being a) that I made and still the same problem. They're still trying to get out.
    I checked the internet and it seems I'm not the only one, but nobody seems to have the answer. Which makes me wonder if it could be a setting on the computer. But then why is there a problem with IE.

    What I pay a subscription for?

    Hi phillipk70320833,

    I checked your account details for the same ID you use here on the forums.

    You bought subscription Adobe PDF package that is why you are unable to open a PDF file.

    You should perhaps install Adobe Reader (free software) or buy a subscription to open a PDF Acrobat DC file.

    Let me know what you want so that I can offer others.

    Kind regards

  • I can't open PDFs on my PC after the passage of Adobe Creative on my Mac.  When you try to open a PDF on my PC, I now get a message asking me to specify a 'serial number' who says that my trial version has expired.  What should I do?

    It's VERY frustrating.  I can't open PDF files without having to enter my serial number Adobe Creative Suite.  I know not why this happens because the reader is a free product and should not have an affiliation with paid products, such as Creative Suite.  Help, please!

    In other words, NOT with the Adobe Acrobat which is part of Creative Suite. If you can no longer use Creative Suite, it might be as well to uninstall.

  • I can't open PDF documents

    When I click on a PDF file, a new tab opens. It gives me the opportunity to open the document directly or save it - that's what I have set preferences to do. When I try one of these options, however, nothing happens. It doesn't open a new empty tab. My specs are lower. I have run all relevant software updates.

    System: OS X 10.8.2

    Adobe Reader: 10.1.5

    Firefox: 18.0.1

    I've seen this problem on other posts and I did some research on the web. I tried the solutions that were provided and worked for other people, however I have noticed they were running old versions of some software, etc. Interestingly, I CAN open PDFs that come to me or that I send through Gmail.

    I did the following in accordance with the notice that I saw:

    Erased my downloads list

    Tried to disable the NPAPI Adobe plug-in

    In my Firefox preferences: I put open Adobe PDF documents. I also tried with preview. None of them worked.

    I appreciate any help you can offer.

    That worked very well for me.
    In the case your application preferences file is corrupted, you could try rename or delete.
    Help > troubleshooting information > 'display the folder '.
    The file is named mimeTypes.rdf and if you rename or delete, there must be regenerated with a default the next time you restart Firefox.

  • I can't open PDF files

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9.2 installed. When I receive a PDF file instead of open it using Adobe (as it did in the past) Microsoft Word Viewer takes over and asks me to do a file conversion. Everything goes down hill from there.
    I'm running Vista, I deleted Microsoft Word Viewer under all programs.
    Used to be able to open PDF files without problem.
    If I right click on the file it asks me what program I want to open with; the only option it gives me is OPEN.

    Go to start / Default programs / associate a file or Protocol with a program and highlight .pdf.  Shall be provided to Adobe Reader as the default program, but it probably isn't.  Click on edit, and then see if Adobe Reader is one of the options indicated.  If so, choose it and save your work.  You will now be able to open PDF files.  If Adobe Reader is not one of the options, click Browse and locate the executable file of Adobe Reader (it will be probably somewhere in a subdirectory of the secondary Program Files directory) and select that, like the program by default.  Once again, once done you should be able to once more open the PDF files.  Chances are good that the Microsoft Word Viewer set themselves up as the default for PDF files and now there is noplace to (they have no valid link).  The reason why you have no options to open with, it is that there is probably no configuration of the associations for the PDF files and programs.

    You can also try to uninstall Adobe Reader and then re-install.  That should restore the association and solve the problem.  How to solve the problem, it is up to you.

    I hope this helps.
