Adobe PDF Reader Publisher 'not available' in IE Manage Add-ons

Some users of a website that displays PDFs in the browser are not able to view the PDFs.  These users are using IE9 and Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 7 machine. They have gone through uninstalling, reinstalling, and repairing Adobe Reader XI and have ensured that the IE settings match the IE settings for other users whose setups work correctly.  The only difference is in the Manage Add-Ons.  On machines that do work, the publisher for the Adobe PDF Reader add-on is listed as 'Adobe Systems, Incorporated'.  On the machines that do not work, the publisher is shown as 'not available'.   My gut feeling is that since the publisher is listed as 'not available', Microsoft doesn't trust the add-on and won't run the ActiveX control to display the PDFs in the browser.
How can I fix those systems so that the add-on shows as 'Adobe Systems, Incorporated' on the machines that do not work?  Or how can I get them to work regardless of the publisher listed?  Or is this even the issue of why these machines will not display PDFs in the browser?

They do assure me that they are using the 32-bit version of IE.  I think the add-on doesn't show at all in the 64-bit version.

  • Adobe PDF Plugin Toolbar Not Available

    Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows 7 32-bit.
    I have Acrobat Pro 10.1.4.38, and the Adobe PDF plugin is enabled. However, when I look at the available toolbars the Adobe PDF Toolbar does not appear. Thus I am not able to save web pages as PDFs.
    Is there a special switch to enable this toolbar?

    I don't think you are responding to my initial question. I don't see how your responses have addressed the issue, namely that I want to see the Adobe Toolbar available on the Firefox main page.

  • Adobe Reader "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon not installing when Using MSI Installer.

    I'm trying to do a silent install of Adobe Reader - and I notice that when I use the EXE installer, with no manual configuration, I have the "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon in Internet Explorer (IE11).
    When Installing the MSI - With or without a transform, I do not get the addon. I get a "PDF Link Helper" but no PDF Reader addon. Has anyone experienced this?

    Hi geoffubazi,
    The 'Adobe PDF Reader' Addon should install even if you run the .msi file.
    Check under the Add on option- 'Run without permission' as shown in the screen shot below and it will list the 'Adobe PDF Reader' Add on

  • Adobe PDF Reader add-on is not available.

    I can't get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in any browser (Chrome or IE).  It's not in any of the drop-downs under "Manage Add-ons" in IE.  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. with no success.
    Any ideas?

  • Hi , I was wondering when a full version of adobe pdf reader (inc editing) will be available for chromebooks ?

    Hi , I was wondering when a full version of adobe pdf reader (inc editing) will be available for chromebooks ?

    To date Google has not made available a chrome book that has the hardware that can support full fledged desktop applications.
    If it were to do so the cost would be much much higher.
    The plus of chrome book is the usage of "cloud" apps. But then, that is also the minus eh.
    Finger food versus a sitdown full course meal.
    There's a place for both but one must take the time to understand the parameters (the + the -) of each.
    Be well...

  • After takimg the picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF it does not read clearly words are meshed together

    after taking a picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF
    it does not read clearly.  words are meshed together

    Hi melisaf76024648,
    Can you please tell me what process you're using to create the PDF? Are you scanning directly from the scanner into Acrobat? Or, are you scanning the document, and then using Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned image to PDF? Or, some other method?
    Please walk me through how you're creating the PDF, and we will have a better idea where things went awry.
    Best,
    Sara

    friedbrains - this is the QuickOffice PDF reader, correct?  I installed it a week or two ago, but it's a 14-day trial and mine is about to expire.  A visit to Adobe.com takes me to the QuickOffice site for the acrobat reader so I don't think there's any other choice at the moment, is there?

  • In manage add-ons, Adobe Flash Player is listed under Not Available, but is listed as enabled.

    When trying to view something that needs flash player, it tells me that I need to have flash player to do this.  So I go to install it, and it tells me it is already installed with my Windows 8.  So, then it tells me to either Enable flash player or to disable Active x filtering.  Active x filtering is not enabled, so I go to Manage add ons, and it shows that Shockwave Flash Object is listed under the heading NOT AVAILABLE, but is listed as being enabled.  I have tried to reinstall flash player, but it won't let me because it is already installed.  Not sure why it is showing up under Not Available, and not under the Adobe heading with my Adobe PDF reader.  Can anyone tell me how to get flash player back from this point???

    Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

  • Adobe pdf printer does not appear

    I downloaded Adobe Reader 9 to my HP laptop, but the Adobe pdf printer does not appear on the list of available printers. My HP says it has AMD Turion (tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-34 and Windows XP (Version 2002, Service Pack 2). Can someone tell me how to get the Adobe pdf printer to appear in the list of available printers? Thanks. dmm

    Reader is just for the reading pdf files. It does not create pdf files.
    For that you need one of the commercial Acrobat products. If you only
    need to create 5 or less pdfs, then you can use Acrobat.com.

  • In coded ui how do you correctly retrieve a browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader in browser

    I'am running across this issue when I'm debugging or running my coded UI automation project, where i get the exception labeled "{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException}"
    everytime i come from a browser window that contains a pdf reader embedded in it. This happens every time I retrieve the window and try to click back. It barfs when i perform the back method on it. I've tried different things but none has worked including
    the playback wait.
    var hereIsmypdf = ReturnPDFDoc();
    public BrowserWindow ReturnPDFDoc()
    Playback.Wait(1000);
    var myPdFdoc = GlobalVariables.Browser;
    return myPdFdoc;
    hereIsmypdf.Back();

    Hi skinny_Will,
    <<"{"COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used." System.Exception {System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException
    According this exception error message, I did some research about it. I know that this exception error is occurred in
    COM object which was disposed if you are using the COM objects in a same static class or variables which ware shared between tests.
    So please you refer the following blog to use ExecutionThread element to instruct the test to use the MTA threading model. This way, the static instance of "store" can be shared across tests.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/martijnh/archive/2009/12/31/unit-testing-com-object-that-has-been-separated-from-its-underlying-rcw-cannot-be-used.aspx
    Note: if you are using the VS2013 to create the coded UI test, you will need to add a test setting file to add this
    ExecutionThread.

    In addition, ad you said that when you playback the browser window that contains an embedded Adobe PDF reader and then it could not work.
    I suggest you could try to add more searchproperties to find this target control and then check this issue.
    I find a similar thread about your issue, please refer the Steve's code to check your issue.
