I am also having this issue with ie8 abd reader 9.3.0 running on WindowsXP professional version 2002 Service Pack 2. I’ve tried many different things, but pdfs still always open in the reader!

I thought disabling ‘Allow fast web view’ did the trick to.. opened about 20 or 30 pdfs from the web before seeing this error appear once more.

It seems there is no ‘work around’ for this one yet. Can anyone confirm if an earlier version of Acrobat Pro works with Windows 7 and web viewing?

For those of you still having the blank browser page and pop-up issue, I solved my problem UNCHECKING the “Allow fast web view” option from acrobat reader’s preferences > internet.

It seems ok now, hoping it lasts!!!

I finally got the page to show the accept button. I went into resolutions and made the print as small as it would go and it FINALLY showed up.
It also solved other things I couldn’t do like save in wordpad and other programs.
As far as I’m concerned Windows 7 really sucks!!!!!

I’m not able to click I Agree on the Adobe license agreement or something I have to agree on. There is nothing there to click. It’s driving me nuts. So I went to Adobe to contact them and nothing works there either.

Like many of you, I’ve been unable to keep Acrobat Reader 9 from displaying it’s blank error / blank page issue on Windows 7. Just when you think you’ve got it licked, it comes back.

The issue is not the browser – apart from affecting Firefox and IE, I’ve got view in browser turned off (I use to do this anyway – it’s never been 100% reliable and I often would close the PDF after view it forgetting I was also closing the web page underneath – DOH !).

BTW, the instructions from Alex above are incomplete, they should read:

•Open the Adobe Reader 9
•Open the menu and select Edit, Preferences
•On the left window, Select the category “Internet”
•Make sure to UNCHECK the “Display PDF browser”
•Ok then exit Adobe.

As I said, this is a good setting but won’t (longterm) fix the issue.

I think it’s back to v8 until Adobe have a beta for W7.

No luck with Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows 7 RC build 7100 32-bit (both with and without the 9.1.1 update, and both in English and in Brazilian Portuguese – I am Brazilian). It often crashes with a message like “this program has requested an abnormal termination code.” More often than not, I can view PDFs fine and the error only occurs when I close the program, but sometimes it happens as it has just opened a document or I am in the middle of viewing it. And in-browser viewing doesn’t work at all, neither in Firefox nor IE.

I have tried to run it in Windows XP and Vista compatibility modes, as administrator, nothing worked. Contrary to many people, I have no complaints about Reader’s performance and I never found it sluggish even though my PC is 3+ years old. I have tried Foxit and other PDF readers, but I didn’t like the interface (and often the ads, as with Foxit).

I hope Adobe releases some compatibility patch soon. I have lots of PDF documents that I need to consult all the time.

I found this info and it works. (It doesn’t launch the PDF in the browser window, it launches it directly in Adobe.)

•Open the Adobe Reader 9
•Open the menu and select
•On the left window, Select Categories
•Make sure to UNCHECK the “Display PDF browser”
•Ok then exit Adobe.

Hope that helps!

An easy workaround is to right click onto the link, and if you’re in firefox, click save target as. The PDF will read fine once its on your desktop.

Anyone else have this problem where Windows 7 doesn’t seem to recognize Adobe Reader and instead see’s it as an “Unknown Program” and wont let it be used as the default PDF reader?

I had the same problem. When running IE8 in windows 7 i got a blank page. In internet explorer I just refreshed the site and the pdf file opened just fine, but with mozzila that isn’t the answer … So do anybody know how to open it in mozzila?
