  The only work to date is to * manually * disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on in IE11.

  I tried:

  2. the HKCU entry for bBrowserIntegration = 0. It makes no difference.

  The second step is the only one I've ever used for reader XI and it satisfied my needs. Someone at - it run in this yet? It's really weird that manually disabling the addon works (all PDFs pop out of drive) but if I re - enable and disable then via GPO, the opening of PDF files in the browser.

• Unable to open Adobe PDF files

  Hello, I would be grateful for any input on a problem I have with my new computer. When I try to open or to view Adobe PDF files, they are not open.
  When you open a PDF in a Web site, I get the error message that internet Explorer has stopped working. Does not display a Web site.

  Have you tried that?

  "Configure the browser to open PDF files in Acrobat window.

  If you want the browser to open PDFs in a separate Acrobat window, to set the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application. Then, when you select a PDF file in Internet Explorer or AOL, the browser opens the PDF file in an Acrobat window instead of the browser window.

  To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:

  1. quit Internet Explorer or AOL.

  2. launch Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

  3 Choose Edition > Preferences.

  4. Select Internet in the list on the left.

  5 disable the display option IN the browser, and then click OK.

  6. restart Internet Explorer or AOL.

  Note: The next time you select a link to a file PDF, the browser may ask you to open or save the file. If you choose to open the file, the browser opens the file in the support application that you specified. If you choose to save the file, the browser downloads the file to the hard drive.

  For more information on the General preferences in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, see using Acrobat. »

  It comes from this article which is a bit outdated, but may be worth a look.

  What is going on?

  Hi David,

  Please note that if you use OS X 10.6.x, then you need to run Safari in 64-bit mode. You can do the same in

  1. go into Applications, command-click Safari to open the context menu.

  2. now click on read the information

  3. in the new window that appears, uncheck the box "Open mode 32 bits".

  This is because on OS X 10.6.8 Safari 5.1 in 32-bit mode is not supported. Refer to the release notes for more details on changes to the systems requirements.

  If above information was not useful,

  Please let us know your OS version and the question of whether this problem occurs with all PDF files or any specific file?

  Also try to "Recharge" the PDF file in safari when gray window is displayed by pressing "control + R?

• Unable to open the pdf. files.__Message: the configuration of the application is incorrect__reinstall the application.__Question: How do I reinstall?

  can not solve my problem. I have adobereader 9.3

  It's a fairly generic message, but basically it means that you must remove and reinstall Adobe Reader. I suggest remove you, but replace it with this drive and you will probably have a lot less headaches. It is a more compact program as well.

• Can remove you items from the toolbar when you open a pdf file in a browser?

• Cannot open PDF files in the browser. I tried every fix mentioned and it still does not work!

  I have Windows XP. Using firefox as my browser. All of a sudden, I can't open the PDF files in the browser. I tried all the mentioned patches. Nothing works! Check the configuration of the plugin, checked the settings Adobe Reader.

  Is the problem that Firefox opens a blank tab, or that it requires you to download the file?

  I guess you tried switching spectators between the internal viewer and the Adobe plugin. If this article does not, steps: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer. Sometimes behind switching will allow to correct an error in the settings file.

  You can rename or delete the settings file that stores these associations and have Firefox regenerate. If the file is corrupt, this could be the only option that works. Here's how:

  Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  Leave this window open, activate any Firefox window and quit the program (for example, the file menu > exit or Firefox menu > Exit)

  Pause while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to something like mimeTypes.old

  Restart Firefox. Your likely PDF preferences will be reset to the internal PDF Viewer, but you can activate the Adobe plugin as described in the above-linked article.

  Any improvement?

• My laptop can not download and open online pdf files

  My computer (WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE {32 Bit}) done an update on February 27, now I can't open or download files special PDF Online.

  I tried to run the system restore point, but it does give me a DATE option that I want to restore.

  He gave me this option date March 3, 2015 only.

  Help, please!

  Hello
  Thanks for posting your questions about Microsoft Community.
  To help you better could you please clarify a number of things like:
  1. you try to download a .pdf file as an attachment to an email or a Web site hyperlink?
  2. What is the default browser installed on the computer?
  3. what actually happens when you try to download\open a pdf file?
  4. What is the management software pdf documents by default (such as Adobe reader or NitroPDF) installed on the machine?

   
  However, assuming you are using Acrobat or Adobe Reader on a system that includes a browser, you configure automatically the browser to open PDF files in the browser window. Acrobat and Adobe Reader install the ActiveX plugin files allow you to use Internet Explorer or AOL to open PDF files.
   
  If an application is installed, but do not open the PDF files in the browser window, then work through the following steps to configure the browser:
  To open PDF files in a browser window, the ActiveX folder should contain the following files: AcroPDF.dll, AcroIEHelper.dll and pdfshell.dll.
   
  ActiveX controls must be in: program files Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX
  If one of these files is missing, then repair Acrobat or Adobe Reader by choosing Help > repair Acrobat Installation or reinstall the application.
   
  Make sure that you use a version of your web browser, Acrobat and Adobe Reader supports, such as Internet Explorer. Supported for Adobe Acrobat 8, Adobe Reader 8 browsers are Internet Explorer 6.0, 6.0 SP1, Internet Explorer 7.0, Firefox 1.5 or later, Mozilla 1.7 and AOL 9.

  To make sure that the Windows registry provides the information that your web browser should display PDF files, restart Windows. If the Windows registry is not updated after the installation of Acrobat, then the web browser can not find the references it needs to access the PDF files on the web.

  Reinstall Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

  To ensure that the correct information of the plug-in is added to the Windows registry, reinstall Acrobat or Adobe Reader.If you want the browser to open PDFs in a separate Acrobat window, then configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader as a helper application. Then, when you select a PDF file in Internet Explorer or AOL, the browser opens the PDF file in an Acrobat window instead of the browser window.

   

  To configure the browser to use Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open PDF files:
  1. close your web browser.
  2 start Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
  3 Choose Edition > Preferences.
  4. Select Internet in the list on the left.
  5 disable the display option IN the browser, and then click OK.
  6. restart Internet Explorer or AOL.

  Finally,.

  And there is also a possibility that the file association to open pdf files was damaged for some reason, then we will have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader as default program and check if that helps. Please refer to:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/change-default-programs#1TC=Windows-7
   
  Note: The next time you select a link to a file PDF, the browser may prompt you to open or save the file. If you choose to open the file, then the browser opens the file in the support application that you specified. If you choose to save the file, the browser downloads the file to the hard drive.
   
  I hope this helps.
  Please get back to us with the required information, and we would be happy to help you.
   
  Kind regards.

• The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005) - keep from appearing when you open a pdf file. How can I stop this?

  I'm on a 64-bit Windows 7 Pro computer and just upgraded to the most recent Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.  When I open a PDF file a window opens saying "the application could not start (0xc0000005).  Click OK to close this application"I click OK and the window opens up again about three or four times before it finally stopped.  My PDF file is then visible.  This is driving me crazy!  I tried to use "Repair Installation" in the Menu Help, but it has no effect.  I downloaded and installed the latest update - and this miserable message keeps popping up!  Before you do a system restore to revert to the previous version, can someone please tell me how to solve this problem?  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  There might be a chance of the previous version left overs. Try uninstalling Acrobat using cleaning tool: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

  Then try to reinstall it and then see if that solves the problem.
