Reader 9 won't open PDF from web browser

We got this error, when with customization wizard set "display PDF in browser" -> disabled and user is activating open PDF inside browser mode. All cases with enabled settings and "disable and lock" seems to be OK.

Choose an older OS in the download area.

YES, but HOW you re-install Adobe reader 8 or 7 - I CANNOT find it on the Adobe website (it just alwasy takes you to the download page for Reader 9) and am reluctant to trust downloads from elsewhere!

Try downloading Foxit reader and make this your dedicated reader. This fixed all my reading problems instantly.

Solution #32 worked for me, Thanks!

Though I was wondering what Adobe is doing! I got reader 9 pre-installed in the new pc I got from DELL, just wondering what's happening with Adobe...

The way I got it to work was to uninstall version 9 and install version 8, a step backwards I know but at least it works.

New Adobe Acrobat 9 prevents web browser from opening and displaying he content dut returns the "done" message from the browser activity bar. I am running the latest version of fire fox for yahoo as my browser, and once I uninstalled 7.0.9 vers for 9.0 version I cannot get the browser to display content,

Any one know what can be done to resolve this issue???

hey just an idea, you can actually use Customization Wizard 9 to add that missing registry key, create new transform and re-deploy :D

In CW9, Registry tab, create new key on destination machine under:
LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe

You may need to create the whole instance of keys starting with Classes\SOFTWARE and then all following above manually.

and modify the EXE key Data to show this value:
"[READER]AcroRd32.exe"

I'm gonna test it right now.

Yep all works perfectly fine on all Windows (XP 32-bit, x64 and 2000).
Have fun big guys, it was an easy fix :)

Compiled fix for web browser pdf opening with Adobe Reader 9:

It was published above along with other registry keys, but seems that just one of them is missing after installation of AR9 (we used GPO method with Customization Wizard 9)

Windows XP x64

* start

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Reader 9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""
* end

Windows XP/2000

* start

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""

* end

Tested to work with both IE7 and FF3. After applying this registry patch you need to close browser windows.

Not sure if one can distribute registry patch over GPO, but i'm simply using regedit over network to import it to about 40 workstations... still not gonna help those guys managing thousands...

have fun people!

Where you able to find a solution with either GPO or the customization wizard?
