Acrobat Reader Firefox plugin and permissions

There must be a simple answer to this, but I can't seem to figure it out... If I open a pdf file in my browser and try to "save a copy", I'm informed I must be super user to do this...
I can save the page through the browser's file menu ok, so this isn't really a problem, but it still bugs me...

Nope, just a regular folder I save to all the time... And as I said, I can save a file fine with Firefox, it's just the plugin that won't let me save... I think it was the same back with the old version of acroread (5.0?), but I can't vouch for that...

  • Adobe Reader Firefox Plugin

    I am running Fedora 8 (kernel 2.6.23.9) with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 on a Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of ram. When I use the Firefox browser (2.0.0.10) to read a PDF document, a process named acroread is started. I assume this is done by the Adobe Reader Firefox plugin. After you leave the document the acroread process begins to use 40-60 percent of the CPU and never ends. Exiting the browser does not stop the acroread process. It continues to run away. After a couple of attempts the kill command will end this acroread process. At one time I had four of these runaway processes running at once. I assume that every time I entered a PDF document in the browser it starts a new acroread process. This problem does not happen when you use the Adobe Reader outside of the browser on local PDF files. Is there something I can collect to help solve this problem? Is this a known problem?

    Experiencing same memory leak problem on Fedora 8 Kernel 2.6.24.3-34 x86_64, glibc 2.7-2,
    with FireFox 2.0.0.08, 2.0.0.10, 2.0.0.12, and 2.0.0.13
    and AdobeReader 8.1.1 and 8.1.2
    b Observations when running any version of FireFox:
    *1-when reading a pdf file, System Monitor displays a new process called "ld-linux.so.2";
    *2-when getting off the pdf file, process "ld-linux.so.2" remains active;
    *3-when reading a new pdf file, another "ld-linux.so.2" is started;
    *4-when closing FireFox, one or several "ld-linux.so.2" processes remain active and become runaway processes;
    *5-these "ld-linux.so.2" runaway processes eat-up about 1MB per second until system freezes.
    b Another observation:
    *When starting Adobe Reader, System Monitor does not display "acroread", it displays "ld-linux.so.2"
    Adobe Reader launcher uses a script called "acroread"; this script launches the binary either directly
    or through "/lib/ld-linux.so.2".
    b Further observations:
    *1-In FireFox, when Adobe Reader is launched through "/lib/ld-linux.so.2", it becomes a runaway process.
    *2-On the other hand, when Adobe Reader is launched directly,
    ]-System Monitor displays "acroread"
    ]-acroread always terminates as it supposed to do.
    b Solutions:
    * 1-add a symbolic link as follows:
    ]ln -s ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
    *2-or install Package redhat-lsb as follows:
    ]yum install redhat-lsb
    b Conclusion:
    It appears that "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" is not handling the "term signal" received from FireFox when exiting a pdf page. When Adobe Reader is started directly, it does handle the "term signal" received from FireFox and terminates correctly.
    b Outstanding Question:
    Is "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" supposed to handle the "term signal"? If so, this is where the bug is because it does not. If not, why is it used to launch Adobe Reader?
    Home my many hours of investigations can help someone.
    b Note
    Sorry. Problem is NOT entirely solved here! Still some memory leaks at times.

  • Installation How-to for minimal/small footprint Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin

    I need to install Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin in a small Linux based environment.
    As a proof-of-concept, I downloaded and installed the AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
    to an NFS share mounted to the Linux thinclient. That worked -- eg, the plugin was available
    to the browser so the OS will support that build. However, the client does not have much
    writable 'disk' space available and using any type of share (NFS/Samba) is not an option in
    the production environment.
    I need to use the plugin from within Firefox (6.0+) and have to be able to print via CUPS.
    DIsk space available is less than 50Mb, preferrably a lot less!
    Is there a guide available for a mimimal installation?
    Any sugguestions as to what files/directories I have to copy to the local filesystem for
    * an absolute minimum ?
    * a bit more if there's room?
    Suggestions / pointers appreciated..
    Tom

    First - what version of Adobe Reader do you have?
    And now it gets a little bit complicated.  Adobe Reader can be a plugin to Internet Explorer, and it crashes when you try to open an online PDF document.  That is not unknown; it happens sometimes.
    But when you open the standalone Adobe Reader, it also crashes with a plugin error.  This time it must be a plugin to Adobe Reader, not Internet Explorer.
    Furthermore you write "the same plugin error window pops up" - so I can only assume that it is a Reader plugin that crashes, not the IE plugin.
    What I would try in your situation:
    open Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Adobe Reader;
    open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader and delete all plugin... folders;
    reinstall Adobe Reader from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe
    The path in the second line above could also be ...\Reader 8.0\... depending on your Reader version.

  • Hi I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me. The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reade

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    Hi,
    Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
    There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
    Some info here:
    http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
    A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
    Hope that helps,

  • Acrobat for Firefox Plugin Does Not Work

    I just got a new Windows 8.1 desktop and am having a problem with PDFs in Firefox. Here's the deal. I want PDFS to open in a new tab and I don't want the Open/Save Dialogue box. Under Tools, for PDFs I have Use FoxIT Phantom PDF Plugin for Mozilla. But the problem is I also have XML data packages where if I click on a PDF link on my administrative website, data is populated on the form and I can see it in a PDF.
    The way it was set up for my Windows 7 desktop (and which worked perfectly) is I used for PDF under Tools Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox). BUT that is not an option now...My options are the FoxIt Phantom PDF Plugin OR I can use Adobe Acrobat BUT if I use Adobe Acrobat it's not in Firefox (it opens a PDF separately).
    I want to be able to open PDF links without the Open/Save Dialogue....but I also want to be able to use my XML data forms with PDFs which worked fine with Windows 7 when I selected Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox).
    Any thoughts?
    Steve

    I do have it as ALWAYS...But I only have the built-in reader as an option (not Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox) and the problem is that if I have it one way I can view my XML PDFs in Firefox, but then I get the Save As Dialogue box when I try to open other PDFs online...If I switch it around, then I don't get the Save As Dialogue box (I can open) regular PDFs, but then my XML Data PDFs don't work in Firefox.

  • IPad, Acrobat Reader, Content (text and pictures) no longer showing, just blank pages

    Hi,
    I have a user who successfully opened a .pdf attachment from outlook mail and then opened it in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and then edited it and moved it to a created folder.
    Everything was working fine and the user highlighted text in the .pdf document too.
    What then happened is when the user subsequently opened the file, the highlights were shown but not the content (text and pictures).
    I checked they had the latest version via the apps store updates and noted there had recently been an update which had been applied.
    I did check also in the diagnostics to see if there were any acrobat files, but there were none, I also turned on 'send diagnostics' in case this this will help in the future.
    I rebooted the iPad by pressing and holding the power and home buttons until the apple logo appeared.
    Checked again to see if I could view the .pdf  content (it's around 8.5 MB file with 32 pages), still nothing showing apart from the yellow highlights that the user had done.
    From within Acrobat Reader on the iPad I chose to open the file in iBooks to see if I could read it there.  I could successfully open the file in iBooks and the front page thumbnail was showing (I did note that in Acrobat reader the thumbnail was white).
    I found the email with attachment and opened it again in Acrobat Reader and it opens correctly, suggesting somehow the previous copy had become damaged?  I have now saved this good copy over the top of the existing bad copy and all is OK except that the user has lost the highlights previously made.
    Can you give me some idea of how this file has become broken in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and how I can avoid it happening again.
    Many Thanks.

    Thanks for replying.
    This is the first time it has happened, the user has several folders containing files (on their iPad), (some .pdf's with additional highlights) these files are typically company agm board packs so contain pages of text and photo's too.
    I put it down the fact that when I checked the app store for updates there had recently been an update and the user had not rebooted their iPad for some time, hence some of the underlying adobe reader files were perhaps between versions.
    I don't know how you handle files when performing an update, do you close the app, flush files from memory and do a clean update?
    I can confirm that the .pdf file had not been sent  as an email attachment after having added the highlights.
    Because the acrobat document contains so many pictures (32 pages and 8.5MB) when scrolling through it takes several seconds for some pages to appear, and others with text and pictures quite a while for the text to become sharp, I presume this is because the Acrobat Reader cannot open the 8.5MB file in one go and has to keep swapping it out of memory.  Having reached the end if I scroll back to the beginning it takes 10's of seconds before the first page re-appears, otherwise it's just a white page.  Interestingly in iBooks the pages appear almost immediately when viewing.
    The iPad in question is model MD368B/A, 64GB, Software Version 7.1.1 (11D201) and has 28GB Memory available.  Usage tells me Adobe Reader is taking 328MB and is version 11.3.1
    I have just finally browsed back to recent documents, opened 2 or 3 other documents and then this one again (from recent) and it is now broken, just shows white pages (and on the thumbnail too) with my test highlights. so I can now apparently reproduce it.
    Hope this all helps you re-produce

  • Removing Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0, and installing newer 7.0.9 version

    My IMAC with Panther 10.3.9 has Acrobat reader 5.0. This appears in Finder>Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder. I find that the lastest version of the reader for my system is 7.0.9, per Adobe's website in the reader download section. I downloaded version 7.0.9, which appeared to have occurred without problems. When I went back to Applications>Adobe Acrobat reader 5.0 folder, the folder still indicated 5.0, not 7.0.9. Not convinced 7.0.9 was actually implemented, I moved the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 folder from Applications to Trash. And yes I emptied the trash. I then downloaded 7.0.9 from Adobe's website again. The download again appeared to have occurred correctly. There is no sign of Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 in Applications, nor is the 5.0 folder there since I put it in trash. Why did I want to upgrade the reader version in the first place? Some PDF files that I tried to download wouldn't. This is the first time that I have encountered PDF files that would not download in readable format. The PDF help section of the website indicated I needed the lastest version of Acrobat reader to successfully download the PDF files. Since I did have an older version, the version upgrade was attempted. Where do I go from here?
    IMAC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  
    IMAC G4    

    Hello AC,
    You were very close to being completely correct. The downloadreader.pkg opened by itself, but what I did not do after that was double click an icon that said Acrobat reader installer. Once I did double click that icon, additional installation activities occurred, and sure enough, Adobe Acrobat reader 7.0.9 now appears in Applications. Thanks.

  • Acrobat Reader 9.3 and 8.0 and IE 8 and web links

    Hi
    This is a bit odd but the last few days I have been having problems with Reader 8.0 and IE8 in that if I clicked a web link to a pdf then the new page just hung and gave the error "There is a problem with Adobe Acrtobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again." I upgraded to Acrobat 9.3 and have the same problem.
    I looked further into the issue and found that this only occurs if the pdf file is opened in a new page. If the link target is not _blank then the file opens fine with no problems.
    Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix?
    Thanks
    Nikki

    I hear what you are saying and everyone hates IE but we have to design for all browsers.
    I guess the best work round is to forget the target as _blank and wait until Microsoft stop that working in IE as well!
    Just thought someone else might have found a work round or that Adobe would want to find a fix also otherwise people will stop using Acrobat Reader as well.

  • Acrobat Reader 9.0 and 9.1 "Print as an image" problem

    Hello. I have a problem with printing the documents in Acrobat Reader 9 and 9.1 (I use always czech version). I have to use "Print as an image" checkbox because I don't have the necessary fonts. I used this function from version 6 to 8 and there was never the problem, but in version 9+ it seems the checkbox does not have any effect. Thank you for help. Have a nice day :-)

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1 and printto command on file

    Good morning.
    We've installed the new 9.1 version of Acrobat Reader.
    And we found that "print" and "printto" command on PDF files have been removed!
    Is this by design?
    We didn't find any release note about this.
    We're currently using the "printto" feature to print PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat Reader on a selected printer device... but with this new version it won't be possible...
    Is it possible to restore both print commands?
    Thank you very much
    Best regards

  • Acrobat Reader PPC 2 and submit by email

    Hi,
    I searched the forums before posting this question. I created a form with Live cycle Designer which had a submit by email button (with to address set). Running this form on a PDA (Acrobat Reader Pocket PC 2) is fine, however when I try to submit the form it pops up an empty email mail message (i.e. no to address or subject, but with attachment). Is there anyway to get it to at least populate the to address?

    Don't use the regular "'submit by email button." If you use this button, you can only submit the data as XML. Instead, make your own button.
    In the Object library under Standard objects, click and drag a plain button to your form. Change the Control Type to Submit. Now you should have a new tab called Submit with a "submit to URL" option.  In that field type the return email address in the following format:  mailto:[email protected]  Toward the bottom of the same option, there is a field that says "submit" and the choice is XML data package.  Change that to PDF.  Then change the name of the button to "Submit by Email."  Now when you preview your form and click the Submit by Email button, it should mail the completed form as a PDF instead of simply mailing the raw data.

  • I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader, free download, and it won't let me do anything until I pay...why?

    I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader and it continues to tell me I have to sign up and pay before I can do anything.  Why?

    By the way, maybe you're just confused about the product, since you're certainly confused about the name.
    There is no product (not any more) called Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    There is Adobe Reader - it is free.
    There is Adobe Acrobat - this is not free (but the download offers a free trial)
    You can have either or both.

  • Can't download Acrobat Reader: Missing plugins

    I got an error message AcrRd32.exe when trying to open a pdf file. I deleted the acrobat reader 9.3 so I could download Acrobat 9.4 but it won't download. It says I need an add-on but that isn't going so well either. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I used a different browser to do the download  (IE) and it worked. Now I can read the pdf files.
