Very slow to open a PDF file

I have other seen with this problem but so far have not seen a response. This never happened with the previous version of Acrobat, and I recently updated to version PRO DC 2015. (last version for PC)

PDF files can be small and very basic, but for some reason, take a long time to open. It usually takes about 30-60 seconds to open a small PDF files while I had a case last week where he took 5 minutes!

Any help on this appreciated.

Hi davidm16756661,

I would recommend you to repair the installation once. (Help-> repair install)

Kind regards

    The printer that I'm testing has 384 MB of ram. The OS is Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.

    The drivers and firmware are later (October 25, 2010).

    Each page takes 15 minutes or longer to print.

  • How to open a PDF file using the built-in Viewer? (Windows 8.1)

    When I try to open a PDF file I have the pop-up dialogue "you have chosen to open *.pdf Firefox do with this file? And display in Firefox is not one of the options. I am sure that what is happening is that there is no dialogue, and the PDF has just opened in the integrated Viewer pdf.js. If something is wrong with my profile I guess.

    I tried the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them

    I checked through all my extensions and you do not have open a PDF (I have uBlock, NoScript and Zotero).
    I completely uninstalled Adobe Reader.
    I checked that in preferences/Applications, PDF is set to "Preview in Firefox.
    I did as I went through: config and change all settings with 'pdf' on their return to their default values
    But none of these things work.

    Is there anything else I can try to get this working?

    I think the problem I had was that some of the PDF files is served by Web sites with a "header" (I don't really know what that means) called "Content-Disposition: attachment", and when this happens, Firefox refuses to load them into the integrated PDF Viewer. (I don't know why Web sites this.)

    It is very helpful, especially because Firefox gives no indication as to what is happening (why the user preference for a PDF file is not respected). I just thought that the PDF Viewer was broken and spent hours trying to fix it.

    If anyone runs into this problem, there is an extension that fixes it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/

    There is a Bugzilla bug open about it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773942

    As far as I can see, it would be trivial reflect changes the extension above in Firefox. In the bug of no claim that it would be a bad thing to do for safety reasons. But Firefox should at least present the user the ability to open the PDF file in the integrated Viewer or even more at least have explanations on why the PDF is not currently open in the Viewer, for example "this PDF file was marked for download, so for safety reasons it has not been opened in the integrated Viewer. Who would save people like me, who don't know the HTTP headers that are complicated, just think that Firefox is broken.

  • Whenever I try to open a pdf file in firefox, he asks me to activate adobe acrobat. How can I stop this from happening?

    I have activate acrobat, but it happens always next time I need to open a pdf file. The same problem occurs when I use a quicktime file. I can down down I would allow me every time but one time, next time, I want to use, see, or hear a quicktime file I get the same question. It's very annoying. I went into options and chose the file to use to open rather than have me ask but it does not solve the problem either.

    Hello moxiet, please go to the firefox menu > addons > plugins where you can set general preferences for individual plugins (always ask or always activate).

  • When opening a PDF file, a new tab will open, but it will be empty, it do not download or open any pdf file, it just started the last 3 days...!

    Hello
    I'm about to remove Firefox from my computer because he lost hours of my time, and none of the online troubleshooting answers are no help.

    Until recently, I was able to open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not download if I choose to download it.

    This issue is ongoing, and shut down for almost a year and I downloaded the Nitro PDF module to solve previously as Adobe reader add-on did nothing. Today in the menu options of applications where I can choose the program I want to open PDF files with I can't find the option NitroPDF reader, so I chose the add-on Adobe and no matter how many restarts it refuses to open all PDFs, all I get is a new tab open and empty.

    Internet Explore opens PDFs very well, so I know it's not computer associate.

    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.

    If there is a way to fix this, please help because I am currently at the end of my patience.

    Kind regards

    19 FF has its own Viewer for pdf files. It doesn't seem to work properly. The screens are either poor quality or empty. Printing using the bad characters and spacing of bad character. Some impressions of color and others are not.

     Thankfully, it is easy to revert to using some other pdf viewer, such as Foxit. Go to Tools / Options / Applications and scroll down to "Portable Document Formay (PDF)", and change it to your preferred pdf viewer.
     Your problem is solved!
    
  • When you open a PDF file, it automatically prints & switches to full screen mode

    First of all, I apologize if it's in the category wrong forum - I couldn't find a category that corresponds to this number, something like 'implementation of the software.

    I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 10.  The software works very well.

    However, whenever I open a PDF file, the software automatically opens a dialogue box invites me to print the PDF file.  Usually I do not want to print the PDF and have quit the dialog box.  Second, once I left out of the print dialog box, the software invites me to indicate that if I want to put the document in view full screen, which usually I don't want to do and to get out of it, I have to leave another dialogue box.

    I don't want to get out of these dialogs whenever I open a PDF file.  I just want to see the PDF file.  That's all.

    How can I configure the software so that it does not prompt me for that?

    First of all, even if works well, Acrobat 9 is not officially compatible with Windows 10, so some problems are to be expected.

    However, the behavior that you describe is usually caused by a script or parameters incorporated into the files you open, not in the application itself.

  • 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.

  • Can I add a link in a pdf file to open another pdf file?

    Is it possible to add a link to a pdf file that will open another pdf file?  I have an after-school registration form and I want to be able to have people to click on a course and it opens a PDF with the description of this course?

    Thank you very much for your help

    Of course, but you must then send the two files together to recipients.

    A better way would be to set the second file to the first and then create a link to it.

    That way you would just distribute a single file and know with certainty that the link worked.

  • Acrobar Reader DC cannot open old pdf files.

    I have a dvd of my car manufacturer that has a lot of PDFs on the dvd and also on this dvd is Acrobat Reader 5. It can be used to open these pdf files. But the new Acrobat Reader DC cannot open these old pdf file. When you click on these files, internet explore opens and takes you to the download page for Acrobat Reader DC. This is a major bug for the new version!

    The problem is that this PDF file is encrypted with a Security Manager, called 'ACTI:SecHandler' which is not provided by Adobe. I searched the web a bit and came across some others complain that PDFs based on the service provided by Mercedes Benz have been provided with Manager encryption (http://www.mbca.org/forum/1998-sl500-repair-manual-needed and http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/tech-help/165253-braingears.html and http://forum.autocd.ru/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18319).

    It is very possible that the software Acrobat Reader on your CD comes with a plugin (.) File API in the player plug_ins directory) that is capable of managing this encryption. In this case, what you can do is to copy this .api file (I don't know which would be the name, but if you can share a screenshot of the the CD plug_ins directory, I can tell you the name of the file) of your Acrobat Reader on the CD in the folder plug_ins of the XI player or CD player. Then, XI or DC drive should also be able to open these files.

    Let us know how it goes.

  • My watch blue dotted around certain pages PDF. They used to not be there when I open the PDF file. That's happened?

    I have a PDF file that shows dotted blue around some of the pages of the document. They weren't there when I opened the PDF file before, and I did nothing for the parameters I know. I don't know why they came, so don't know don't no how to get rid of them. I have Adobe Acrobat Standard XI on my desktop, using Windows. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Sara,.

    I couldn't find "print > printers marks" dialog box in my version of Acrobat, which is Acrobat Standard XI. However, your response has helped a lot in a search that led me to the answer. Use view > show/hide > navigation components > layers to show the layers pane. I clicked on 'the eye' off to the relevant pages, and the marks have disappeared.

    Thank you very much!

  • JavaScript to open the PDF file

    Hi all. First time poster here. I need to open a PDF file from a javascript that I run using wscript.exe. I also need to fill out some fields in form. I will create the Javascript file on the fly from an application I'm developing. The development environment is a system based script that does not use javascript, but it doesn't have the ability to make calls from the shell.

    So my goal is to create a .js on the fly file, and then open a PDF form and fill it out. I have already all the javascript code needed to fill out the forms, but I can't for the life of me how to communicate with Acrobat or Reader itself in order to run javascript.

    I can and have created records of FDF and then open the file with the Adobe application and that works very well, but the PDF file must be crafted to open the FDF file from opening, and I want to avoid this extra step. I want to be able to fill out the form directly from my application.

    The development environment is NOT C based ot Java-based, otherwise it would be a simple matter of using the API prescribed for them.

    Any ideas?

    You do not have Acrobat execute JavaScript from a file, but you can ask that it executes JavaScript from a string. Do this, use one of the several APIs, not a command line or shell call. VB is probably the best language as it fits perfectly with JavaScript. Whatever you do, you will need the Acrobat SDK. And none of this will work with the free Adobe, only Acrobat Reader.  (I don't know how it would be easy if your environment is based on Java).

  • How to open a PDF file to a specific number of page in Safari 8.0?

    I use the command #page = 33 to try to force Safari to open a PDF file to a specific page number. While this works very well on almost all Web browsers, it doesn't seem to work in Safari. What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you!

    The problem is probably with the PDF of Safari plugin, which does not correctly open settings. To be fair, however, is not a part of the PDF ISO specification, but something that Adobe put up on their own in their PDF plugins, so that other applications are not obliged to follow.

    If you switch to using software Macromedia so it should work, even in Safari.
