    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.

    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.

  • Blue screen error when you try to print Adobe PDF files

    Original title: the computer crashes when I try to print Adobe PDF files.

    I unintalled and reinstalled remains 9.3.3 and it still won't print. The OS crashes when you try to print a .pdf file. I can open the document and view the file but not print, just the blue screen and restarts. I opened a word document, print and print text files. It will print anything but Adobe files. Is there any help out there?

    HonoriusIII

    Thank you for your support and help Sicard. I finally got to the last version of Adobe as the culprit. It seems that the latest version 9.3.3 was causing problems. I uninstalled the software, cleaned the registry and other remains and installed the various editions of Adobe. Seems that Vista likes only one software version which proved Adobe 8.0. Once I installed the software, found a few .pdf documents and tried to print. Not only did it print well, it was very fast. Of all the places to find the 8.0 Adobe has been installed on my recovery disks. I don't think Microsoft product (s) are the root cause. Something in Adobe was the cause of the crash. I have the error message has not write against accidents, but it dumped memory and restart is fine, no conflict of driver. Only thing I did after each accident was to defragment. the hard drive and RAM by using certain tools. Vista ran fine since. I know a lot of people out there do not like Vista, but I did have a lot of problems with the software. I found problems with other types of competing software and work with software developers using their products in beta. The crash of the problems were not these beta products. I believe in keeping software simple and effective, it seems that Adobe will conversely making it too complicated software and an application's entire concept.

    Thanks for you help,

    Hi kimberlys49504344,

    It is an XFA file that is not detected by the PDF viewers in the web browser.

    Please right click on this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM1344E.pdf & select ' Save As... ', now, to save the PDF file to your desktop & open with Adobe Reader.

    I'm sure that it will work as it worked on my end.

  • I can't print an Adobe PDF file in the browser. Ignores the print command.

    Nothing happens when you try to print the PDF to the browser. Printing box is not pop up and does the printer queue.

    Which version of Adobe Reader you have installed?

    Recent versions (I think it is version 9.0 or later) of Adobe Reader have a toolbar that appears at the top of the content area in Firefox. If this toolbar does not appear, press F8 and see if it appears. There is a button print on the left side of the toolbar to print the PDF file that is displayed in the tab of Firefox.

    All the Firefox print functions are substituted by Adobe, if Adobe has a PDF document is open in a Firefox tab, you must use the print to Adobe.

  • Storage/printing adobe .pdf files

    Recently, when trying to print a pdf file (from XP Home Edition w/Service Pack 3 installed and Adobe Reader v 9) I manages to get a print file and the printer spooler. Rather, I am redirected to a dialog box to store this file in a folder/catalog of my choice. The printer I'm trying to get is LAN (cable connected) to the XP machine and is available in WiFi for Vista and 7 machines and print the file in question without the problem of these machines. The XP machine prints from other types of files (doc, xls, etc) without any problems.

  • How can I PERMANENTLY change the default printer to Adobe PDF files using my physical printer instead of SIMPLY printing a pdf in a new PDF file?

    Whenever I restart Adobe Reader DC default printer is automatically reset to print any PDF file to the "print to PDF file" as the default printer.  How can I change the "default printer" always default to be my physical default printer, instead of "print of PDF?»»»

    PRINTING a document which is already a pdf file to a pdf file is absolutely ridiculous and stupid for the following reasons:

    1. If you want to save a document that is already a pdf in different PDF file, you can use the function "Save as" in the file menu.
    2. If the user select "Print" to PRINT a file they ther NOT try to SAVE a file.  (We'll give credit to the average user to understand the difference between PRINTING and SAVING of a document).
    3. Most of the users do not need to duplicate the storage of a document on their drives to computer
    4. Users of mobile devices, by the fact that they have already downloaded the PDF file have already used storage space of EXTREMELY valuable and LIMITED memory with the download of origin and most certainly so NOT to use more than this space such a resource limited printing!

    As an engineer, hardware and software for the past 40 + years to really understand the value of making easy allow the end user to change the configuration of something as simple as the setting for the default printing device to use!

    For the record, I searched the online help as well as the forum Adobe Reader community for a thread that explains how to change the printer by default so that whenever I starts the Adobe service it will automatically use the printer default physical connected to my computer to "PRINT" any PDF document.  If I missed something that deals with this problem please point me about it, if no such band rolling exists, then please tell me before making this change.

    Thank you for your help in this matter!

    Sincerely,

    Larry A. Coates

    Hi larryc57256426,

    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?

    How to install an earlier version of Acrobat reader that allows me to do and PRINT of the or "Save as" in the open PDF file

    If you use Adobe Reader, not Adobe Acrobat, so I would suggest that you switch to a more reliable as Foxit PDF reader.
     
     

    Google Chrome will be available during the download. Simply uncheck the box when you see it.
     
     
     
    Otherwise, the Forums Adobe would be the best place to ask.
