When I try to open a PDF from the internet, I get a black screen and a message saying Internet Explorer is closing down, see screen shot. How do I overcome this please??

It sounds like you may not have a PDF reader installed on your computer. There are several free readers available.

Adobe

Foxit

Nitro

Sumatra

Adobe has been having a lot of security issues lately and it's a fairy large download. I don't personally recommend it. But whichever product you decide to use, make sure to read all the fine print. Since these are all free, they try to install other unnecessary "stuff" in the download. "Stuff" like extra toolbars, other programs, etc. Each free product lets you choose a "custom" install so you can uncheck all those unnecessary add-ons.

If you have questions it's better to post back before installing anything. :)

I downloaded the lastest Adobe Reader and tried both Internet Explorer and Google all to no avail, I still get the black screen. I still have Adobe Acrobat5 installed, is that a reader and can I uninstall it please?

I uninstalled the latest adobe Reader and at present have no reader at all. Can anyone tell me please, what my next best course of action is apart from putting the computer on the tip??

Hi,

I can see you have an AVG toolbar, can you please disable it and try opening a PDF then.

Disable the toolbar:
In Internet Explorer, Click Tools >> Manage add-ons >> Click on the AVG toolbar and click 'Disable' on the bottom right.


See if that helps.



Regards,
Jamie

I did as requested and managed to open a PDF file via Google however, Internet Explorer jumped in and said it was closing down but at the same time, the page I had selected appeared on my screen, please see screen shot.

Shall I now enable my AVG toolbar and uninstall Acrobat5 please??

Adobe Reader - I would update to the latest version of adobe reader which is now Xl - Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

AVG Toolbar - I would keep it disabled or remove it completely (Toolbars have a tendency to cause issues)

Jamie

Just another little point to add, please do not install the McAfee program which is a optional program with the Adobe Reader XI package, as McAfee is known to cause problems within Windows 7.

PDF File problem still exists

I am running Windows7 Home Premium with IE9. I have disabled my anti virus programme and tried to download Acrobat Reader X1 four or five times, restarting my machine on each ocassion!! Subsequently, when I try to download a PDF file from the internet, as soon as the Adobe black screen appears on my machine IE9 decides there is a fault with the page and tries to find a solution, which it can't. After a while it tries to close the programme but cannot do that either.

Once or twice I have got as far as being presented with the Adobe licence page but as soon as I try to click the accept button, up comes IE9 again to tell me it is closing the programe because of the page causing a fault. Windows is still looking for a solution and keeps repeatedly telling me it is closing the programme:huh:

Is Adobe Reader X1 not compatible with IE9 and if not is there a different Reader I can use please? Is it safe for me to uninstall Acrobat Reader5 please, presumabley it is redundant now??

Regards,

RonBin79

PROBLEMS opening PDF in IE 9 or X

You may want to read this thread for any solutions, there is a reason stated within the thread too, and it seems the Adobe Reader plugin has not been made compatible with IE9, a update was said to going/has been released which may resolve the issue.

Thanks for your reply. I am not too sure about using the PDF Fix It link shown at the bottom of your reply. Out of pure frustration, I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.4, I have not had time to see if that works yet but when I did click on the Fix It link I was not sure what option to use??

Tell us if Adobe Reader 9.4 works, and if it doesn't have you tried using Google Chrome or a different browser?

I'm using Google Chrome with Adobe Reader X (need to get the newer version soon) and have had no problems with .PDF files.

That's good to know, hopefully Adobe bring out a patch for the IE9 compatibility issues with the later versions.
