Acrobat retains plug-ins after deletion

I have installed Acrobat Pro 8.1 and added upgrades for 8.1.1 and 8.1.2.
This is with Vista Home Premium.
I added some plug-ins eg pitstop and then uninstalled them. They are not in the plug-ins directory or on any drive, however Acrobat still has them working?
I also have a problem when I click help, I get no drop down and the program stops working?

For info! Problem solved.
I have found the api Using advanced search method and ticking the box "Include non-indexed, hidden and system files" option.
It found
C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins\...
Now I do have a virtual machine loaded to run XP programs that fail in vista I must have once had acrobat on it with these plug-ins then I removed acrobat, so now when I look at it I see no acrobat and think it is clean, but there it is! Even now if I look at c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins in the XP virtual machine I see nothing infact there is no Acrobat 8 at all, but this file remains!
So If I go to vista, as me, delete that file when acrobat runs the plug-ins have gone.

  • I still get blocked plug-ins after downloading latest flash player.  Is there a fix for this?

    Blocked plug-ins.  I've downloaded the latest Adobe Flash player after "Delete all" in the System Preferences\Adobe Flash Player Advanced tab, moved the flash player plug-ins from disabled internet plug-ins to internet plug-ins in the Library folder, allowed all plug-ins in Safari Preferences and in the System preferences.  Is there anything I've missed because non of these solutions that I found in the Support Community have solved the issue.

    Delete that plugin.

  • Plug-ins manage/delete in OS X applications

    How can I delete a plug-in in Yosemite applications such as Mail? I have looked everywhere in Mail, including Preferences but there is no mention of plug-ins and how to manage them. Any ideas? Thanks..

    Hi BAL-iP,
    You should find any plugins for Apple's Mail application in the folders described in this article -
    OS X: Third-party plugins for Mail may no longer work after updating OS X
    Specifically -
    Third-party Mail plugins are normally stored in the following folders:
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Acrobat 8 plug-ins in Microsoft Word?

    The options "Print to PDF" or "Save as PDF" work well in Microsoft Word but since my text in Word contains links to the internet, those links turned-up to be inactive in the resulting PDF document.
    So I need to have the PDF plug-ins "Convert to PDF" or "PDFmaker" installed in the toolbar of Word. According to the manual of Acrobat 8, those plug-ins must be installed as the same time as Acrobat is installed.
    During the installation of Acrobat 8, I activated those plug-ins but they never appeared in the toolbar of Word. What should I do to have those plug-ins active in Word?
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually when Office2004 out they were available. Office2004 had VBA and could use most all Macros except those that used Active-X.
    when 2008 came on the markey those item were rendered useless.  Because 2008 did't have VBA  engine, and onlt certain Excel Macros would work.
    2001 has VBA anD macros but uses the same VBA engine of it PC conter part. Still doesn't use Active-X. (Apple has an absolute Ban on Active-X, the only way it will appear is if MS buys out Apple which between slim and none and slim has left town).
    Now once you have Acrobat installed you have access through Print menu Adobe PDF choice.
    AS some here once again are spouting Office doesn't provide the hooks to provide creating links.  It’s a Fallacy  spread by adobe for years. You can take a File created in Mac and bring over to PC and Create PDF through in Acrobat PC and works just fine. The problem is with adobe and Acrobat.
    Also for Adobe's edification: 2011 was a direct Port from Office 2010 PC code the only thing left out was what simply doesn't apply to Macintosh. Its so close to 2010 That theyven ported over a piece of code from PC's That bans the use of the characters <>?|\/ *, Sub Scripts and Numbers at the beginning of names  for Hard Drives, DVD's, Directories, Folder Names, and File Names. and not use the File, FileServer, or Server in File Server Directories,  and Directory Path names.
    So go back to drawing board and come up with another excuse for Links not working. You need to get together with MS and get this problem straightened out. 15 years is long enough to avoid fixing a problem.

  • Missing InDesign plug-ins after installing on new machine running WIN 7

    After installing Adobe InDesign CS3 (version 5.0) on a new computer running Windows 7 Professional, InDesign cannot open a file I created 30 days ago on a machine running the same version of InDesign and Windows XP Professional.  I repeat, there have been no changes in InDesign versions !!
    The error message indicates a boat load of plug-ins are missing.  The first error message indicates WORLDREADY.RPLN and CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN were missing.  After clicking OK, the second error message indicates these plug-ins are missing: ASSIGNMENTS.RPLN, TEXT.RPLN, SPREAD.RPLN, MASTERPAGE.RPLN, IMAGE.RPLN, TEXTATTRIBUTES.RPLN, GENERICPAGEITEM.RPLN, TEXTWRAP.RPLN, CJKTEXTATTRIBUTES.RPLN, SCRIPTING.RPLN, LINKS.RPLN, INCOPYSHARED.RPLN, XLM.RPLN, CJKGRID.RPLN, TOC.RPLN, INDEXING.RPLN, HPERLINKS.RPLN, PACKAGEANDPREFLIGHT.RPLN, WORKGROUP.RPLN, APPFRAMEWORK.RPLN, and DOCUMENTFRAMEWORK.RPLN.
    From the Help menu within InDesign, I click Updates.  A series of updates for all my Adobe software were installed, bringing inDesign CS3 to version 5.0.4 yet
    InDesign still refuses to open my previously created file.
    The only other suggestion your help files suggest is upgrading my inDesign software to CS5 to which my company will not agree.
    HELP !!!!

    The file properties are shown in the attached screen shot indicating InDesign CS3 was used not CS4 or CS5.  Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • Still getting blocked plug ins after downloading latest flash player to macbook

    Am still getting blocked plug ins on video content after downloading latest flash player (as requested to do) to macbook please help

    Can you check to see if you have "enable plug-ins" checked in Safari's preferences dialog, under the security tab? If not, enable it and check.
    It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, check if it works there.

  • Missing plug-ins after downloading adobe flash player 11.2.202.235

    Hello again:
    I sent a request the other day for help regarding my downloading Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.235 and losing the ability to play my games( they were bookmarked from the web) because of missing plug- ins.  I mentioned that I know very little about this computer.  I did get a reply saying that he needed more information about my computer which I sent and I have not heard anything back.  I probably did not send the message correctly therefore I am sending the info again and I hope I don't screw it up this time. My computer is as follows:
    iMac4,1 Version 10.6.8
    Intel core duo
    2GHz
    # of processors 1
    Total # of Cores 2
    L2 Cache 2MB
    Memory 1.5GB
    Bus Speed 667 MHZ DDR2SDRAM
    BootRom Version 1M41.0055.B08
    SMC Version(system) 1.1F5
    I hope you can help me in the simplest way possible so I can understand your instructions.
    Thanks again,
    Margaret

    It's confusing when a single poster starts two threads on the same topic and it divides the replies or has duplicate replies for those that are unware of the other thread.  You should post the above in the thread you originally started after my post which asked for some clearification on the problem.

  • Re-install plug-ins after upgrade to CC

    The chief thing holding me back from upgrading to CC is the prospect of installing all of my plug-ins, actions, brushes, etc. again.
    When I upgraded from CS5 to CS6, this took days, and proved a major pain.  I'd like to upgrade to CC, but not if I have to spend days re-installing plug-ins, fonts, brushes, actions, etc. 
    Is there a way I can upgrade from CS6 to CC without overwriting all of my stuff?  In a dream world, I would download and install CC, and at first start-up, there would be all of my stuff exactly as I had it in CS6.  If I can't get this or something like it, it's probably not worth it to upgrade yet.
    Thanks for your time and help!

    KB the process has not changed.  If you use Third-party plug-ins and brushes the process will be the same as you have experienced previously.  I would recommend contacting the Third-party plug-in manufacturers to verify they are compatible with the CC versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

  • Help! Lost my third party plug-ins after restoring OSX!

    Hi everyone
    Thanks for the help in advance!
    I restored my Mac last night to a previous time machine backup. When I tried to open Logic just now, it seems that all my plug-ins have disappeared! I don't see any of them listed on the menu and yet all of the component files still are in the right folders still. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks again for your time
    PS. I'm using Logic pro 9 with OSX 10.6

    You are looking in the wrong place probably. "Listed on the menu" What menu? Just create a Software Instrument track and click its I/O slot.

  • I have the bizcoaching virus. It's only a problem in firefox. I'm on a mac. I can't get rid of it. There's nothing related in exts. or plug ins to delete.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Removing Plug-ins after Uninstall

    I did an unistall of Logic Pro following the instructions available in Apple's support document at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300659.
    It didn't cover Plug-In installations that Pro may have made.
    Any ideas as to how to decide which these were and how to remove them for disc space...without damaging my Logic Express install?

    Hey J,
    Libraries and such would be located here: HD>Library>Application Support>Logic
    Not sure where the actual plugs are because I think they are embedded into the application itself. You could run your AU Manager from the Logic menu when the app is open and do a scan and disable what you don't want to use if they show up (not in front of Logic at the moment).
    Hope that helps!

  • Does Reset Firefox retain Plug-ins? That's quite serious.

    The question is exactly what I need to know.
    I have some add-ons I'd like to install that appear to install but once FF is restarted, there is no evidence of them. Tab Mix Plus and NoScript are cases in point.
    I had to do a system restore due to a botched application update. This left FF without TMP or NoScript, and unable to install them. I think I need to reset FF, but I WILL NOT DO SO UNTIL I KNOW MY PLUGINS ARE SAFE FROM BEING REMOVED, OR HOW GET ENOUGH INFORMATION TO REINSTALL THEM.
