• Links in the PDF are not open in Adobe Reader

  I created a PDF file from Adobe Acrobat that has links that open external web pages that works perfectly in Adobe Acrobat, but when the PDF file is opened in Adobe Reader, nothing happens when you click on links on. The cursor changes and the URL is displayed when hovering above, but when clicked on nothing happens. Now I tried the CTRL key and change various parameters "Trust Manager" in Preferences, but nothing seems to work. Do I need to save the PDF in a different format to allow links to be opened in Adobe Reader?

  Hello

  When you get this program you want to use to open the file, you can select the appropriate program to open it?  If so, isn't there a box to check that says always use this program...

  Network adapter. Missing drivers?  Go to your device manager and look to see if there is lack of device drivers. They can be labeled as just a controller ethenet or other device with a small exclamation point.

  This means that they need a driver. In order to send you the link to the right driver, I need to know what model of network card you have.

  If you are unsure, click on all the missing devices in Device Manager. Then click on the Details tab. In the property drop-down list, select the second element (Hardware ID). After the first string of characters you see.

  Who will be ID the make and model of the device and I can send you the link for the drivers.

• PDF file generated from Reporting SERVICES hangs when opened in Adobe reader 11 and saved as with "optimized for fast web view."

  Large pdf (over 1000 pages) generated files form SSRS crashes when opened in Adobe reader 11 and saved as with "Optimized for fast web view" activated. This saves fine with disabling this option. However, our customers are not ready to accept this solution because they do not want to change any settings. Please suggest if we should create a ticket with microsoft for SSRS allow the generation of pdf quick display of Web pages or is it an option in Adobe to fix this problem without changing the settings.

  The SSRS file has Fast Web View: 'No' and that's how Microsoft SSRS generates these files.

  Thank you for the complete maxwyss response

  As you have indicated, the PDF SSRS seems to have some elements that are quite similar to be supported for fast web view.

  We asked customers to disable the fast web view, but the customer is big enough to make a change individually on their machines and so were looking for a solution.

  I saw in several forums and a few discussions here as well as disable the fast web view option works for pdf fails.

  Which was just wondering if its known that multiple PDFs genarted by third parties may have problems with the optimization, the Save as optimized for fast web view could be disabled by default installation of acrobat reader rather than be enabled by default

  Thanks again for the reply!

• How to open the files .dll automatically with Adobe Reader via Firefox?

  Hello

  When I print labels eBay via Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to automatically open in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change the options to display "all files", then find the .dll file and open it.

  When I try to change the default application in the preferences of Firefox, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".

  Is there a way to have Firefox automatically opens files .dll with Adobe Reader?

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  Sorry for the delay, but yes, just stop Firefox so that the mimeTypes.rdf file is released.

• Impossible file, save as in Adobe Reader 9.1.2

  I have currently access my electricity and gas bill online and the two of them are always displayed in pdf format.  Unfortunately, since the Player 9.1.2, update I am more able to see the menu of the toolbar, normally above picture icon, then the file toolbar menu, the option Save under is not visible.  So, I can no longer save my bills for electricity and gas on my PC but may not be able to print them rather that is slightly beating the entire object to have my bills online!  Can anyone explain why I'm not able to see the file, save as option at all?  I asked my electricity and gas supplier and they tell me they can see very well for their purpose.  They are currently using Adobe Reader version 7.

  Go in the Tools menu and then choose customize toolbars.  Scroll the file toolbar, click the box beside the Save icon, and then click OK.

• How to automate so that pdf is always open in Adobe Reader ms in Windows 10

  Hello

  I need your expertise to solve the problem that I am facing currently. In this discussion, I'll write you what my needs are, how I use it and what problems are to come.

  My requirement-> In my organization, my client has a specific requirement that after they installed "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC", any pdf file should be opened in Adobe Reader DC editor only. For Windows 7, there is no problem. We have Adobe Reader DC scripted to open all PDFs in MS only, but for Windows 10, these mechanism were not working. In Windows 10, all pdf files open in Microsoft Edge by default. Now the user may have the ability to change default pdf file association (Control Panel-> set default Program Association) so that it will only open in Adobe Reader MS, but we are not allowed to think about this scenario because as a guy Packer SCCM deployment and Application, I need to automate everything. So, the scenario will be after you have installed Adobe Reader DC, opens in DC only.

  Best regards - I downloaded Adobe Customization Wizard 11 and from there also, I chose to make the default player. In WIndows 7, it works fine but the problem is in Windows 10.

  How do I use--> I have studied and found that in the registry location - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf. If you delete it. PDF key, so for that particular user, the Microsoft association Edge breaks and after that, you enter this value

  AcroExch.Document.DC = 0 (DWORD) under 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\OpenWithProgids' will solve the problem.

  But the question was to come because, under this key .pdf, there is a registry subkey under the name of "UserChoice" which cannot be changed by default. Yes, it sounds strange, but it is true that although user still HKCU don't have permission to change the key "UserChoice". And that's why, I'm not able to delete the entire registry key '.pdf '.

  But when I checked manually unless give you permission for this key ".pdf" and grant all permissions for the group "Domain users" and go to advanced and check the box 'Replace all entries authorization child object with entries permissions inheritable this object', then you will be able to remove all of the key ".pdf". I checked this manually and it works and it also so open any pdf in the DC Editor. And this is the reason why I use the SetACL.exe file.

  How do I use file-> SetACL.exe I created an empty file msi (Windows Installer) and I called this SetACL.exe in the Active configuration. I created a custom action with condition "NOT DELETE" so that this custom action will run for each user for the first time.

  The vbscript code that I wrote inside the Custom Action is.

  Set WshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")

  Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

  SourceDir = Left (wscript. ScriptFullName, Instrrev (wscript. ScriptFullName, '-'))

  Path=WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ALLUSERSPROFILE%") "

  path = path & "\DC\SetACL32.exe".

  If fso. FileExists (path) then

  CmdLine1 = path, Chr (34) & Chr (34) & "-on" & Chr (34) & "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf" & Chr (34) & "- ot reg - actn ace - ace" & Chr (34) & "n: Users; p:full"& Chr (34) &" setprot - actn-op "& Chr (34) &"dacl:np"& Chr (34) & ' - clear actn - clr" & Chr (34) & "dacl" & Chr (34) & "rstchldrn - rst - actn" & Chr (34) & "dacl" & Chr (34)

  WshShell.Run cmdline1, 0, True

  CmdLine2 = "reg delete" & Chr (34) & "/" f "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\UserChoice" & Chr (34)

  cmdline3 = "reg delete" & Chr (34) & "/" f "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\OpenWithProgids" & Chr (34)

  cmdline4 = "reg delete" & Chr (34) & "/" f "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf\OpenWithList" & Chr (34)

  cmdline5 = "reg delete" & Chr (34) & "/" f "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pdf" & Chr (34)

  WshShell.Run cmdline2, 0, True

  WshShell.Run cmdline3, 0, True

  WshShell.Run cmdline4, 0, True

  WshShell.Run cmdline5, 0, True

  End If

  Now manually this script works fine but when I use it through MSI, it doesn't quite work.

  Please help me. Y at - it another way to automate so that the PDF file opens in Adobe Reader ms.

  Kind regards

• Suddenly, my downloads are all about Adobe Reader, and I can't record to edit. What can I do about it?

  Why are my downloaded Adobe Reader is no longer in My Documents folder?  I can view them on Adobe, but cannot change words or punctuation.  I tried to change their word, but could not.  I could change them for them there seems to be a monetary charge to change that for Word and PDF.  What has happened that I can not open simply Adobe download since my word buffers?

  Word has never been able to open .pdf files.

  You must use a Publisher .pdf application to be able to edit .pdf files.

• In 'my computer' pdf files have suddenly refusing to open in adobe reader 8 and 10. OS is XP sp2. the file appears for a split second and disappears. What needs to be done?

  My PC is running windows xp, sp2. Previously, I copied several PDF files on the net and stored in my documents and periodically SURFs on the pages. All of a sudden, the appearance of the Office has migrated to the default settings, but they have been reset. Regarding pdf files that have been copied through adobe reader 8.2 for my ducuments they refuse to open, even after the upgrade to version 10.0.1(current de lecteur) the file is displayed for a split second and disappears. Clean your PC with Avast does not indicate something wrong. Went to RUN regedit .exe and checked in all the boxes of the machines:-key-local etc. to permit and permission, but they were of no use. How to remedy this. ? Can I format Adobe and reloaded via net? Please give me a solution.
