Installing AcrobatPro after removing Adobe Reader Safari displayed pdf urls only as a black page anymore

After installing Acrobat Pro it installs in Library/Internet Plugin-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin version 11.0.03. Allthough after selecting a PDF-link it leads to a displays it not in Acrobat Pro, it diplays it as a black page in Safari. When I have a look in Acrobat Pro into the preferences/internet/webbrowser-option/PDF to show inBrowser with: isnt checked! And there is still listed/Application/Adobe Reader.app instead of /Applikation/Adobe Acrobat Pro!!
There is no way to select this Applikation. Having a look at Lbrary/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist listed:
AdobePDFDriver file://localhost/Volumes/Sicherung%20laptop/Applications/Adobe/Adobe%20Acrobat% 209%20Pro/Adobe%20Acrobat%20Pro.app/
ReaderInstallPath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
WebBrowserUsePath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
Has anyone changed the ReaderInstallPath file or WebBrowserUsePath file to the path of Acrobat Pro and as a result a good diplay of PDF-urls in Arcobat Pro or Safari??
Thankx, I hope my english isn´t to bad for a german apple-user!

Thanks for the screenshot, Pat. I think the light bulb went off for me. I was looking over the tips for configuring Firefox at the link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
And I think what confused me the most was this screen shot for plug-ins for Firefox mentioned Acrobat.
I had Acrobat installed myself, but most of our users do not use Acrobat, since it's not a free product. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, and the Adobe Acrobat plug-in was still there, so that forced me to realize that the plug-in that comes with Adobe Reader 11.0.3 is called "Adobe Acrobat".
I went into Tools->Options->Applications and selected "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", rather than "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
This now allows me to not only view PDFs within a browser window in Firefox, but it also enables the save icon (which "Use Adobe Reader (default)" was not allowing me to do:
It's a shame that the default setting is not for "in browser", because our customers may have to make a configuration change.
There is no way to programmatically force a configuration change on a user's browser, is there?

How do I run Adobe Reader to display pdf files in Windows 8?

I'm confused! Where is the executable for adobe pdf reader in windows 8? I want to launch it from powershell to display a pdf file. It used to be trivial in windows 7 but now the adobe pdf reader is an app and I cannot find the executable using the task
manager.
Can someone help me launch it from cmd.exe or powershell_ise to display a pdf file?
I just downloaded and installed the Adobe PDF reader and I cannot execute the reader c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe. I get no error messages and no GUI display. What is going on?
Thanks,
Siegfried

Hi,
As far as I know, that Windows 8 has a reader by default, it seems like it is Microsoft Reader. It could used to read PDF file. And I have not ever use powershell to manage to use it.
The PDF reader is a Modern UI app; we cannot run Modern UI apps on the desktop. So I don't think powershell could manage it.

Adobe Reader X - Display PDF in Browser Option is Greyed out

Looking for a registry fix to unlock the Display PDF in Browser option. Not sure how it is greyed out to begin with. My MST file was not set to Lock anything. Please help. I cannot find anything anywhere of use to "ungrey" this option.
It seems to happen when Acrobat is installed.
How can I fix and how can I prevent in future releases??

Why won't Safari open PDF-documents after uninstalling Adobe Reader?

Hi.
I wonder why Safari won't open a PDF-document after I uninstallet Adobe Reader. Prior to my installation of Adobe Reader, Safari opened PDF's without any diffyculty.
I've tried to reset Safari but it didn't seem to help at all.
What do I do?
Thanks
Mike

There might be a residual plug-in interfering with Safari's PDF opening capabilities.
Installed plug-ins are listed via Safari > Help menu.
They are located in
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
and
~/Library//Internet Plug-ins
(tilde is home folder)

2 medical softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install but IExplorer succeded

Hello,
We have two softwares ( medical application) which open pdf via adobe reader XI.
Theses softwares often can't open pdf, just after the adobe reader install( using adobeArCleaner+Customisation Wizard XI).
At this point Internet Explorer is ok to open pdf with adobe reader...
We have to launch manually adobe reader once on the computer to make the two applications to manage openning pdf
Launching adobe reader seems to finish the installation...
Did the editors have to put an "option" when they open pdf ( to act like Internet Explorer...) ?
Thanks

I am very glad to have a so rapid answered!
Sorry I was not precise...
When the file should open,
for one application an error is happening,
for the other application which is a "web" application, an other window ( not "web") opens with adobe reader and the pdf document ( the expected behavior is to open adobe reader and the pdf file in the web window already opened)
I think that the file association is ok, if we double clik on a pdf, adobe reader is opening and then the file is opening in adobe reader window...
If I open Internet Explorer and I search for a pdf on the web, It is openning in the same window web.
But something seems not finish for the medical softwares...

Can't open PDFs, Initially received runtime error,updated Reader - new error Adobe Reader has stopped working, uninstalled re-installed same error message Adobe Reader has stopped working

Assuming that you are in Win (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

Safari keeps trying to use Adobe Reader to view PDFs

I had to download adobe reader because my banks electronic statements can only be read by it. Even tho it is not my default reader Safari always tried to use it to read a pdf. I can't find any way to tell Safari to use Preview again without uninstalling Adobe Reader.
Thanks

I had the same problem with bank and some government (FAA) sites.
Without Adobe Reader installed, they either would not download or would download a blank pdf page.
With Aobe Reader installed, you can download to view in Safari, but cannot save on your Mac as a .pdf.
[When Adobe Reader is default .pdf reader it hijacks the Export PDF option, including using printer driver to print to file as .pdf]
Deleting AdobePDFVewer.plugin from /Library/Internet will work, but there are a couple of easier fixes than deleting and reinstalling the plugins:
You can switch the default viewer back and forth (including Safari's default viewer) by:
Right click on a .pdf file and from the context menu select Get Info > Open With: (select Adobe Reader or Preview) > Change All and close the popup to set selected app as default.
If you have to use Adobe Reader to view a .pdf on the picky site and decide to save it - don't try to use Adobe Reader to do so (via Safari).
Instead either:
1. Option click on the site's link to the .pdf to download to your default download folder.
- or-
2. Right click on the site's link to the .pdf and select either "download linked file..." or "Save linked file as.." and save to desired folder.
I am not sure if this will work in all cases, but so far it has worked OK for those I normally use.

Removing Adobe Reader

I am using a PC with XP sp3.
I don't seem to be able to remove Adobe Reader 10.0.1 from my hard drive. When I try to use"MS's add/remove programs" to remove Reader, the msg I get is "feature is on a resource that is unavailable". When I go to the actual file under Programs and try to put the Adobe file folder into the trash, the msg I get is "Cannot delete Identity-H". (I can't find that file as a separate file in MS search.) What do I do?
I want to start over with a reinstall of v10.1.0 because I keep getting an "updating Adobe Reader" message every few days, and I sense that this too often. Can my unremovable version of Adobe Reader have been compromised with a key logger or some virus that is sending out some of my data, rather than actually updating my installed version, as often as every few days?

Your Reader installation may be corrupted; use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459) to remove the corrupted installation.

Adobe Reader not displaying online bill properly?

Good afternoon,
Since June 2013, Adobe Reader began displaying one of my online utility bills with overprinted, reverse-oriented alphanumeric characters, over top of some portions of the bill, when using Firefox browser (v23). Adobe Reader version is current (v11). Using Win 7, 64-bit computer. Adobe Reader displays the bill correctly if I switch to the IE10 browser. Other utility bills (which use Adobe Reader to display them) are displayed correctly when using Firefox or IE10.
I've contacted the utility company's IT department, and although they say other customers are experiencing this same issue, there is no problem on their end.
* I've included a screenshot below of what the bill looks like for your reference.
My question: What is causing this problem and how can I resolve it?
Thank you for your time and any information.

That appears to be opening in Firefox's PDFJS viewer, and NOT with the Reader Plugin. The toolbar is a dead giveaway. The PDFJS viewer is not a good viewer. Here's how to disable it and use the Reader plugin instead.
In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that choice because I also have Acrobat Pro installed, and it's my default app for PDFs)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.
