Why not download and read .pdf files

I never had no problem download and playback of .pdf files to what I 'upgraded' Adobe reader version 11. Now all the downloads of attempts fail because "I don't have the necessary helper or same C:\DOCUME~1\Will-o\LOCALS~1\Temp\Back channel II - betrayal of the Viet Nam - ch. 1 & 2. PDF cannot be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Changing the association in your preferences. What in the world is happening and how to fix it?

Under "Tools - Applications - Adobe Acrobat Document, the I chose 'Use Adobe Reader'." However since I also have Adobe Acrobat 8.3, I tried substitution, for the reader, but which does not work either. Help, please.

You could try the following:

(1) change your preference for 'Preview in Firefox' and use the download button to save the file. But it's an extra step.

(2) change your preference to "Always ask" and see if you can get the file to open it in this way.

(3) delete the file from your application's preferences (it is sometimes damaged) and try again. Note: these are only the preferences for which applications manage what types of content, not all your Firefox preferences.

To do this:

(i) open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

(ii) switch back to Firefox and the output. Your Windows Explorer window should go back to the foreground. Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup.

(iii) and rename the mimeTypes.rdf something like mimeTypes.old

(iv) restart Firefox. It is likely you will default to 'Preview in Firefox' and I hope that the paths for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat will now be correct if you choose one of those.

A little luck?

    PROBLEM SOLVED!

    He had no problem with Acrobat or with IE.

    The problem is a conflict AD-WE (Trend Micro Anti Virus Toolbar) apparently this toolbar when enabled was causing the problem.  Just disabled the toolbar and the problem disappeared. !

    Seems that some Ad on may conflict with some representations / in the future if anyone has this problem with the PDF files or any other malfunction that happens out of the clear blue, it's more than likely a bar of tools recently added or ad on any.

  • I tried all the tips on the Firefox help site, but I can not even download anything. Yesterday, I was able to download and open PDF files very well. Today... No.

    While I was working on my Mac last night, I received a message that I had to download an Adobe (I think an Acrobat X Pro) update. Yes, I did. This seems to be the time when I started to have problems. Now I can't use the program uninstaller. I think that maybe that's the problem, but my ability to fix stops here.

    I am usually more discernment on updates, etc., but I was working on a project and the update flashing bothers me, so I hit Yes, not really looking at the app I was updating. Ugh. My mistake.

    Go to Firefox preferences, 'Applications' "Preview/application/pdf Documents. Click on the "Action" column and "history of (by default) use. The Adobe update apparently changed that preference to download.

    Edit: AppStore wants payment for these programs, but they should be free...

    Why should they be free? They are only free if you have a device purchased the or after October 16, 2014

    If your device complies with this qualification, go on the App Store, signed on the account that you used when you purchased the computer, then click on "Buy" tab

    The apps will see here and say you to the "accept." If this is not the case, contact Apple by using their program, which is supposed to be filed within the first 30 days of purchase.

    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:

     
    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.
