275314 - Acrobat Reader does not start

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Steve H]

In the above site, choose bookpage search, enter 600 for the book, 1 for the
page. Click on the IMAGE button and a ODF should be displayed. Works fine under
IE (!) but not under FireFox. Upgrade to the newest Adobe Reader, made it worse.
I am using the <EMBED IMG=""> command to display a PDF file.

It did work before I upgraded Acrobat, to 6.0, but it would open a new window.
Now after upgrading to 6.0, it will not wrok at all.

Thanks for your help.

That URL is not responding.

How about Adobe Reader 7 which just shipped?

I'm running both Acrobat 5.0 (write version) and Acrobat Reader 6.0 on WinXP. 
After a standard install of Firefox 1.0.2 it pretty much pegged the CPU and just
sat there when opening a PDF.

Going into options->downloads and redirecting Firefox from the plug-in it had as
a default (sorry I forgot to make a note of the name) then pointing it directly
to the Acrobat Reader 6.0 app for PDFs fixed the problem for me.

Firefox now opens PDFs in Acrobat 5.0 unless I have Acrobat Reader 6.0 open
prior to clicking on the link.  I'm not sure what's up with that, but I can
access PDFs via the browser again

I just upgraded to Adobe Reader 7, which does not open. I've had to save pdfs
and then open them offline.

Steve and Jonathan - your reported Firefox version(s) are too old a build to analyze bugs against now. The problem you are reporting may well have been fixed already.

Could you please download a recent version or nightly build from <http://www.mozilla.org/releases/nightly.html>, and then let us know if you still see this problem?

Many thanks, Cigno
