Cannot display PDF files, automatically download instead

I use the pdf viewer integrated for centuries without problem. Today, for the first time, I found that I could see is no longer notes pdf for my Korean online courses. Instead, a record/download dialog popped up.

Initially this problem included all THE PDFs that I tried to open it in FF. It has been about 6 hours at this point, which is crazy - and I went through a considerable amount of solving the problems of methods (not necessarily in that order, apart from the last two):

  • Installed Schubert PDF Browser Plugin.
  • Disabled the PDF Viewer integrated via preferences > applications and move to a different Viewer: schubert... always had save box.
  • Installed the plug-in Adobe PDF... couldn't use (I use a Mac os x 10.7, + the plug-in Adobe is buggy and not a viable option for me)
  • Delete the mimetypes.rdf... no changes to the file.
  • Launched FF in safe mode... no change.
  • The built in Viewer again activated via preferences > applications > portable document format (pdf) > Preview in firefox.
  • Check that "pdfjs.disabled" has been switched to 'false' in subject: config... It has been.
  • About: config I have reset "plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" by default, and then change the value to: ' video/mp4, application/pdf '.
  • Delete the mimetypes.rdf file.
  • Re-initialize the plugins database.

The problem continued until I reset my plugin database and tried to delete the mimetypes.rdf again and make another restart.

Now it seems that most pdf opens fine with the integrated Viewer and schubert. However the site which I fell initially on the problem with: http://www.koreanclass101.com doesn't open PDF and still opens the Save dialog automatically whenever I click on open the pdf links. It also does the same thing when I get the pdf directly in the address bar.

I have to pay a subscription so I'm not sure, you can go to this link without being a student, but here it's just in case: www.koreanclass101.com/pdfs/BB_L5_051611_kclass101.pdf

(to note this page of links to another pdf file that is not hosted on koreanclass101, and this pdf that opens now fine for me.)

I tried to clear the cache and cookies to koreanclass101, but even after this, the problem persists. I wonder if the fact that it has Korean text on the PDF of the questions at all? Although I don't know why he would do.

I really need a fix for this! The teachings are based on the ability to switch at the back of the audio in pdf format IN my browser. When I open the PDFs with preview and run interactive lessons in FF at the same time, FF slows down to a crawl and begins to hang whenever I go back and forth btwn programs.

Content-Type: application/pdf Content-Disposition: attachment;

As you can see, the Content-Type is correct, but a download prompt is forced with the Content-Disposition: attachment header. Install the add-on from InlineDisposition, then click on the PDF link again. It should then behave as you specified under Options - Applications.

You are welcome.

  • Urgent to work: cannot display PDF files, I am told to accept non-existent "End User License Agreement" for Adobe Reader?

    Hello, I am truly grateful for everyone of help very urgent.  I cannot view PDF files, I'm using a mac update, safari and I says to accept non-existent "End User License Agreement", but when install adobe reader is never an option!

    Thank you very much!

    No, not at all. Similarly, Applications (in the Finder), start you Mac applications. In the latest versions of Mac OS, you can also use the launch pad, which does the same thing.

    If you think that it is which means 'open', or 'start' or 'run', it would be better, but the 'launch' is the official word from Apple.

  • Newb: cannot display PDF files in the browser

    I have a new Windows 7 computer and have installed Acrobat Standard 9.3.2 and Reader 9.3.1.

    Whenever I try to 'download' (i.e. display) a PDF file in the browser IE (or Firefox 3.6), I get the following error message:

    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a Web browser. "

    Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  "Quit and try again."

    The error remains the same that either Acrobat or Reader race / is not running before the attempt to download.  My workaround solution is to save the file to disk, and then open it.  It is a pain and should not be necessary.

    Any advice anyone can give me to fix this problem will be received with thanks a lot!

    Discussed several times that Acrobat and Reader should NOT be installed at the same time, because they confuse between them

  • Cannot display PDF files

    With the help of AAR 2015.010.20056 on a Mac (OS X El Capitan 10.11.3) some of my files previously visible do not show a gray page dark instead of the usual contents.  Aren't the files newly created but used previously for example legal agreements.  If I'm going to print these files which seems to work and they print in the normal way.  If I select Preview against the file icon, I can see the content perfectly, but not in normal display mode.  I deleted AAR and reinstalled it and FlashPlayer and still have the same effect of gray page dark instead of the normal display of the contents of the PDF document.  Help, please.

    Hi stefanh17320936,

    Follow this thread to reset the Acrobat preferences:- How to reset preference settings in format Acrobat.

    Please also check if the files or network disk, move them to local & then check

    Also the name of the application using which the file was created.

    Please also check with the other user account with Admin rights & check for the same.

    Kind regards

  • Acrobat, does not display PDF files correctly in the browser

    This seems to happen only on chrome when displayed in the browser of the graphics, especially the text appears incorrectly, or in this case at all. You can see that the financial 'Fi' is missing. It is a major problem because most of the people who visit the site hit the download and the PDF file automatically opens in the browser. Is there any solution for this? Not bad I exported in Indesign? Fonts should be returned in an object before you export it in PDF format (this is the galley)?

    BUT a quick fix is to download the PDF file, display in the browser, then refresh the page and display all fonts. Weird. It is a step that many will miss.

    Screen shot 2013-09-13 at 9.53.52 AM.png

    This is what it looks like when downloaded and played in acrobat. Notice the thicker fonts

    Screen Shot 2013-09-13 at 8.50.50 AM.png

    You probably view the PDF file in the viewer of PDF from Google Chrome and NOT Adobe's PDF Viewer.

    1. check your plug-ins by going to:

    chrome://plugins

    2. go outside viewer of PDF of Chrome.

    3. If you see (active), then you use the viewer of PDF of Chrome.

    Missing in many ways for the feature.  Fonts is one of them.

    4. you can disable

    5. then go to the the list for Adobe Reader

    Adobe PDF plugin for Firefox and Netscape

    6. then turn it back on.

  • Cannot display pdf in browser

    Until I updated to DC Acrobat and Reader DC I used to be able to display PDF files in the browser.

    Now, I get this message and can not see any guest of the agreement, when I run the reader or acrobat DC application:

    readerDC.jpg

    You see this message on a Mac if you have configured Chrome to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin to view PDFs (chrome://plugins). This message is incorrect if you have already accepted the end user license agreement. We are working to correct the message, but using the plugin to display the files PDF in Chrome is not supported on Mac.

    The chrome team decided to withdraw the support of plugins like Adobe Reader NPAPI. Here is a blog that describes their decision - http://blog.chromium.org/2014/11/the-final-countdown-for-npapi.html

    To view the PDF files in Adobe Acrobat Reader ms, we recommend that you download the file in Chrome and open your desktop.

  • Cannot open pdf files. Acrobat 10

    Cannot open pdf files. "Acrobat cannot send a DDE command '.

    Thank you John. The problem has been resolved. I'm sure this has to do with changes of microsoft with one of their updates since I subscribe to Office 365. Somehow my Acrobat version 10 a program started working again after a week of being disabled. I use windows 8.1 and dread of having to go through windows 10 soon.

    Hello

    Currently, mobile products Acrobat DC (for iOS and Android) don't support any change to the visibility of the layer.  If you are not able to activate or deactivate layers in a PDF using Acrobat DC for iOS.

    You would file a feature request?

    Hi Judy, Letchworth,

    Please visit the below mentioned link and try the troubleshooting steps:

    Unable to open Adobe Acrobat or Reader PDF

    If this is not enough, then run the cleanup tool "Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs" on your machine to uninstall the reader completely.

    Then, restart your computer and install the latest version that is single CD from here:

    Adobe Acrobat Reader DC install for all versions

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Firefox 11.0 stopped download PDF files automatically when I click on a link. The download folder is always selected in the preferences.

    When I click on a PDF file that would normally cause the download folder to open it, I am rather taken to a blank white page and nothing happens.

    I use a Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    I recently installed Flash Player to preview an FLV file that I put on my site. I don't remember if the problem started after the installation.

    This thread has a workaround solution, which is to "disable the Adobe Acrobat plug-in, NPAPI Version 10.1.3" under Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins

    Firefox does not open a PDF link in the browser, the screen shows simply empty. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox help
