PDF does not open
I tried EVERYTHING to get a PDF file to open it in firefox on my mac. They worked about 6 months ago but then stopped. I tried to change the application they open in preferences, applications, I tried to adjust the Add-ons, I tried to activate the pdf viewer. I'm using Firefox 41.0.1. I also run Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, version 11.0.12. Help! I had to start using safari, but now makes my battery burn on my mac so I would go back to firefox but I can't if I can't get PDF files to open it.
What is the setting for Portable Document Format (PDF) in "Firefox > Preferences > Applications"?
Is the built-in PDF Viewer active or an app like preview?

PDF does not open the first time in Internet Explorer
Dear all,
We have an internal application running and PDFs published in portal.
We have the policy when users logged in it will be open IE automatically with the application.
When you click on the PDF it does not open, but when we close and reopen IE it opens PDF files correctly.
We check with lan connected desktop and it works very well here and we are facing this problem with laptops.
The desktop computer is 32 bit win 7.
Laptops have Wi - Fi and having the OS 64 bit windows 7 ENT SP1 adobe version 10.
Please help and my email is [email removed by host address]
Question: You load the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer on first launch? If you are then it's your problem. Plugin PDF is not 64-bit capable, so the solution would be to launch the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer.

Downloads PDF does not open, it's a matter of FF?
When I download a PDF file now, it saves a file OK, but when I try to open it, a pop-up window indicates that it is not a PDF file or a file in Adobe. The extension is .pdf. Thank you
I doubt if it's a Firefox problem.
Windows say about these files when you right click on the file and select Properties?
What happens with all the PDF files?
Or just a few from a given source?These files may have been created by another program PDF and may not be fully compatible with Adobe Reader. Or these PDFs can be altered in any way.

PDF does not opens in Firefox windows
Hello
I am running FF v.28 and were not able to open PDF files in a very long time. In fact, I don't remember the last time it worked correctly. When you click on a PDF link, the page opens is empty or nothing happens. I can view PDF in this other browser without problems. I tried 'various' bugs found on the net but still nothing. I'll try FF removal and reinstallation as a last resort. Otherwise, I am at my wits end.
Thank you.
A few things:
(1) your "more details of the system" shows two different plugins Adobe PDF (10 and 11 series). You may need to disable one of those.
Open the page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons
In the left column, click on Plugins. Search for "Adobe Acrobat" and definition of one of them "never activate.
(2) try changing your viewer.
The settings file that stores stock for Firefox cannot display on its own sometimes of the files is corrupt, and once or twice in the Options dialog box layout can help to straighten out.
This article describes how to access the PDF setting: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer.
A little luck?

My new Office Jet 8500 (A910-G) seems to correctly perform a scan to PDF, but the PDF file does not open, gives me the error message "the selected document cannot be opened" in PDF Complete.
I agree that it's a software because it works well with Adobe Acrobat. It's just PDF Complete (which was free with my HP computer) does not work!

Can't open any PDF files. When I try to open Adobe Reader, it evokes a tutorial that does not open. Cannot close. duty to force a closing. Have deleted the program and reinstalled but that did not help. I'm on a PC... Windows 7.

By clicking Download does not open regular dialog on some websites
Firefox 26 under Xubuntu 13.10.
When I download files (.pdf, .rar, .txt, or other) of the sites the more a dialogue window opens asking me what I want to do with this file, for example open with utiliy by default for this type of file, or save the file to the local disk.
This doesn't seem to work on some websites however. Especially trying to download a file .mkv does not open the usual dialog box and fills just my page with the text encoding which is well above my paygrade.
I'm not at all familiar with .mkv and quirks or personalities that she may have, so I guess my first question is, do I need some sort of additional FF plugin to download this file type or is it a fault with the configuration of the Web sites concerned?
This happens when the server sends the file as text/plain.

I have a cd-rom that does not open. It is downloaded in pdf format. also can not get attachments to open.
Please try to explain your problem (s) again.
"A cd-rom that does not open" has little meaning. Do you mean that your CD drive tray will not open?
"It uploaded in pdf format." What downloaded in pdf format? The antecedent 'it' in this sentence refers to "a file of the cd-rom" do you mean that you have a cd-rom that contains a PDF on this subject? What happens when you put the CD in the drive?
You 'open' pdf files using Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader, which are free (but must be installed on your computer). Are one of these programs installed on your computer?
If you choose to download and install Adobe Reader, do yourself a favor and don't include NOT of McAfee Security Scan Plus.
