  • 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.

  • Cannot open PDF files

    I have a HP Pavilion desktop pc with card mother at660a and that you just download the latest Mozilla fire fox and now I can't open PDF files when I am still on the web, can I open then, but as soon as I insert in downloads on my drive hard all the that get is a blank page with the exception of the border etc. but no script , by the way this pc has never used Mozilla firefox.
    But when I use internet explore that it's ok, I have Mozilla on my other PC and I have no problem, but they are charged with an earlier version when I try manually open with Adobe reader, he tells me that the file is corrupted hope you can help thank you.

    For some reason, your Firefox is who identified himself as version 9 instead of version 19. If you select help > about Firefox, can you verify that you have version 19.0.2 or click Find updates and get the current version?

    19 of Firefox has an internal PDF Viewer. To switch to a different Viewer, see the following article: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer. Note that this does not apply to earlier versions of Firefox.

    Finally, please note that current versions of Adobe Reader 10.1.6 and 11.0.2. For your safety, make sure you have a current version.

  • 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.

  • Why the CD player replace default 'use Acrobat Pro' to open pdf files?

    Had to install the CD player to open online pdf files. Already have Acrobat Pro. After the installation of the drive of DC and despite repeated together "use this application to open pdf files" Acrobat Pro, CD player overrides this setting. Seems so new versions of programs... as, for example, Windows 10... are programmed by nerds who seem to think they know more about what a user wants to that user only. Sites now offer pdf files requiring a CD to open, but this version now seems to have the attitude "to hell with what you want to do." I want only to set Acrobat Pro as my default application to open pdf files. How can I do this? And, Adobe, why do you think that you know better than I what I want? < Nothing new, by the way; I had to do to make the script processing in PhotoShop, because it substitutes for my choices for the target files and your technicians had no idea how to solve this problem, with workarounds.

    Hi brucec3514345,

    Acrobat Reader DC has been defined as the once its installed default PDF Viewer, this is a behavior of design. However, you can change the default program, open Acrobat, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> General-> click "set as my default pdf reader.

    Click OK to confirm the changes.

  • I can´t see more save it button to overwrite the changes directly on an open pdf file. Is there a solution to this?

    Hi, I m a free user update to Acrobat Reader DC, but I can´t more see the Save button to overwrite the changes directly on an open pdf file. I mean, I give myself the option "Save as", but then I have to find the right place to save. In my older version of Acrobat Reader when I pressed the button 'save' the program automatically looked for the folder the document I was working on had been, but now it seems that I have to search the folder manually whenever I want to save a file on my computer. Is there a solution to this?

    If not, I would like to install my old version of Acrobat Reader (I m in doubt between X and XI: I think it was the last one). How can I install my old version without losing changes (comments, for example) I did on my pdf files? Thank you very much.

    Best regards

    The "Save" button becomes available when you make changes to the file. If you come to open a file and make any changes to it (and this isn't a temporary file) then this button is disabled. This is how applications work.

    You can get older versions of the player here: Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution
