Cannot save pdf to the browser, not open directly

I use Adobe Reader 10, Windows XP and Firefox. When I click on a link to a pdf file, I get a window popup asking where I want to save the file. I don't want to save it, I want to open it. I do not get this option. If I right click on the link, I just get 'Open link in a new tab... '. "Then the same save the message arrives. I used to be able to just click on the link and the file would open right in Adobe Reader.

What version of Firefox?  From 19 of Firefox, it uses its own Viewer PDF, not the Adobe Reader plugin. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136

  • Could not open the PDF outside the browser without "Save as" dialog box.

    Hello

    We have currently upgraded Acrobat 8 standard, Acrobat 10.1.6. On our old version of Acrobat, when we unchecked the option in the preferences - Internet - view the PDF in the browser, it would open files in a new window, Acrobat.

    With X installed, we don't seem to have this option more. Things turn one of the two following ways:

    Display in browser checked = PDF is displayed in the browser (IE9)

    Uncontrolled browser display = save as dialog box appears when you click the link in the browser

    It doesn't seem to be the solution we front aircraft, where there is enough to open the file in a new window, Acrobat.

    Are there any settings that would back this expected behavior of my user?

    Thanks in advance,

    John

    Hello

    Browsers are evolving so quickly (a few months) it was impossible to keep this work in all browsers. The setting is left as is his preference of registry.

    There is a cmd line property that works. See the Administrator's Guide: www.adobe.com/go/acrobatetk.

    I select save files, but when I close the browser and open it again, he was always ask me where to save files. Whenever I closed and re-opened my browser it goes back to ask me where to save files.
    Help, please

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    If you like Advanced SystemCare software that could restore some files from older versions to protect files against the changes and then check their settings or uninstall this software.

  • The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer.

    OK, it seems to be coming a lot but no one was able to respond (including Microsoft) so I'll ask, and be as specific as possible.

    Because I work with vector art that I constantly have to save files by crush the and everything was cool with WinXP pro.  I have Win7 Pro and everything was cool, until recently.  Whenever I tried to overwrite my files, I would get an error message saying that the file was either dead or opened elsewhere, but it has happened about 50% of the time.  A launch the re-registration of files with different names.  After obtaining the files re-registered I then try to remove and rename files, but found I couldn't do it anymore, as I was constantly getting the error message "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer."  Closing and reopening the browser do nothing.  Someone said if not empty the trash bin works, but not for me.  The files are on an external drive, I tried to disable the cache of writing by Device Manager and Windows Management Console (or other) frozen and took the pc with it (nice work, MS!).  Reboot seems to fix the problem for a bit, but he returned quickly and randomly.  It also seems to randomly select to lock files.  Some files I can not change, some that I can.  Others begin to operate after some time of inactivity.

    I tried to disable thumbnails in Explorer and even added a DWORD NoThumbnailCache in the registry, but it still happens.  Basically, I'll have to save all of the new files over and over again and that from time to time be able to remove the "old" while being only randomly too write others.  This question seems to be infestation Vista and Win7 and people have waited for a fix, Microsoft, but was mum on the issue.  If anyone can come up with a solution, it would be great.  It is killing my productivity!

    Common guys...
    Im having this problem too and I've been thought IE9 is at the origin of the problem, some how, I don't want to disturb...

    Here are some solutions:
    Please note that I'm looking, there is not any solution patch for this program by Microsoft, you can maintain it yourself. And correct solutions in this way losses.

    Solution 1: Use CMD.
    0 - note the following 3 steps will complete the process explorer.exe, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open files and any associated process would stop.
    1. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    2 - go to the processes tab.
    3 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    4. now, click the menu file-> new task (run...)
    5 type CMD, and then click OK.
    6. now you can do something you couldn't have done before with this user interface. Some useful commands:
    -cd: change the current directory. Use 'CD..' to the 'button' in windows Explorer.
    -dir: lists the existing file and folders in the directory current. Use ' dir/p' to the list in the pages.
    -del [file name]: removes the file [filename] existing in the current directory.
    -Rename [name of file] [new file name]: rename the file [old file name] existing or a file existing in the current directory to [new file name].

    Solution 2: Use a different file manager.
    0 - install and run another Manager file as "XYPlore".
    1 Note that the following 3 steps will end your explorer.exe process, so your desktop and windows Explorer all open records and all other related processes would cease.
    2. run the Task Manager. (by pressing ctrl + shift + esc or etc)
    3 - go to the processes tab.
    4 - find "explorer.exe" and click on the button "complete the process". If you find several explorer.exe, kill them all.
    5. use XYPlore UI and do what you want.
    Please note that the problem could happen with this kind of external explorers too. So close any file and go into a secure after your working directory.

    Solution 3: Do it yourself!
    If you can program, there are some codes that might help you. These codes which talks about Im, says MS Windows to remove your annoying pinned files just before you shut down the system.
    Here is an example:
    MoveFileEx ('C:\windows\system32\ld21E.tmp', nil, MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING or MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
    This code will work correctly in Delphi from Borland compilers, and as you can see, the "ld21e.tmp" file is deleted after compiling this code and restart your windows.

    I wish I can do better, as to publish an Explorer that do what you want automatically, so I hope that these can be useful.
    Some how you can check this thread too, it may be useful:

  • The Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program

    I get an error after a few seconds of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 for Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already in the destination on Mac. This is true, but it was just put there because I copy over to the same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there until I started.  Then I get an error: the Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program.  Close the folder or file, and then try again...

    If I click on it a bunch of hold or wait, it takes about 45 seconds. I have to do with all the files, and it occurs when copying from PC to Mac.  PC-to-PC was never a problem.  I even rebooted both computers, so nothing is using all the files.  If I copy a file at a time, I get no error.

    So, I have a single file to not move, no problem.  If move 5 files, the first is fine, but it presents all 5 files in the folder at a time.  All the other files that the first show 0kb. I get the already existing for the error file, and select move and replace.  Can I get the Action cannot be performed because the file is open in another program.  I wait or click several times until it starts to move the file.  This file tells something then other than 0 kb.  When it's done, the error process starts all over.  In Mac, nobody seems to have any idea.

  • Try to remove a CD image file, get the error message "this action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program.

    I am trying to remove a file from CD image (.img) of my office

    When I try to put it in the bin I get the message

    "The action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program close the file, and then try again"

    First, I checked the obvious things like if the .img file was mounted in a virtual drive - it isn't so I then used LockHunter to find which application is using the file so I can close by the Task Manager.

    Unfortunately LockHunter told me that the file is used by 'System' - which cannot be closed through the TM.

    Any help?

    The problem is that the program that allows you to mount the image always uses the image.  In my case I used the magical disc. Go to the start menu find the magic disk or folder folder, there should be an option to uninstall the magic disc. I tried UN-installing conrtol add and remove programs but it wouldn't let me. You can also click on computer in Start menu and see if the file you want to remove is always mounted (appears as a CD image). In this case that you can click the eject disc hit.

    Hipb61749591,

    Firefox & Google Chrome have there own PDF viewer plugin, please make sure they are enabled so that you can open links in the web browser.

    Otherwise, it will download the file & then you will be able to open using the Reader app.
