Reader 9 won't open PDF from web browser

"I finally got PDFs to work in my browser by doing the following.

1. Uninstalling Reader version 9
2. Installing Reader version 8.1 from the abobe.com website
3. I then had to uninstall via control panel add remove programs the adobe.com program, and I also uninstalled the Adobe AIR program.
4. I then checked in my Add Remove programs list and Adobe Reader 9 is still listed, I uninstall it again (why I don't know).
5. I then view a PDF file outside of Internet Explorer and I have to accept the license agreement in a popup window to get Reader 8 working properly.
6. I then go to a web page that links to a PDF file and finally I can view PDfs in the browser again.

We have around 30 PCs in our department with Adobe Reader 9 and some of them work in a browser and some of them do not, so there appears to be a conflict of some sort.

For info, I have Acrobat Professional 8.1 on my PC also.

Good Luck

Thanks Scott. I was having this same problem for weeks now on my football site. I think my problem was having a previous version on there and not uninstalling it correctly.

in adobe 9 (or acrobat ) go to edit>preference>internet
and uncheck the "Display pdf in browser"
then press OK button and exit the program

again open the program and go to same path and check "Display pdf in browser" then press OK button and exit the program

It will solve your problem



I tried this resolution and it didn't work. It did however by leaving the "Display pdf in browser" unchecked and clicking on OK. Now it seems to work perfectly.

Kuba- Is there any chance that you could explain how to correct this with the custmization wizard. I used your reg hack and it worked like a charm! I am just trying to determine how to fix my SI/GPO package. Thanks!

I opened the adobe 9 reader and opened the help tab then selected repair adobe reader installation after closing all other tabs...now it works fine.

After about 45 minutes of poking around and trial and error, we have it working in both IE and Firefox. The solutions:

For IE, launch Adobe Reader 9 and edit preferences. Under "Internet" uncheck the box to load a PDF in the browser (forces it into Adobe Reader).

For Firefox, go to the Tools - Options - Applications tab. For Adobe Acrobat Document, the Action should be Use Adobe Reader 9.0.

We rolled out Adobe Reader 9 using Microsoft's System Center Essentials. Some, but not all users had this problem after the rollout. We were able to fix it by opening Adobe Reader 9 and clicking Help--> Repair Adobe Reader Installation. This fixed most everyone's installation. However, I still have a couple of users who can't open PDF's in FireFox... Go figure.

Ever since I've upgraded to Adobe Reader 9, I cannot open adobe files via the web browser. I need to be able to see my pay stub located through IPAY. An error or an alert keeps telling me that I cannot see the file without Adode 8 or 9. I had 5 and downloaded 9. So what could the problem be?? Please help!!!!
