Acrobat hijacked Safari PDF's

All PDF's are shown by the Acrobat Reader plug-in. There is a preference in Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 (Prefs/Internet/Dispay PDF is browser using). Unchecking this does NOT stick. Next time I open Acrobat or even enter Preferences, the checkbox is set again. Is there a way to stop Acrobat from taking over Safari PDF's?
best regards
Lars

Lars,
Quit Safari.
Find and remove the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and archive it into a different folder. It will be located in either: Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins or ~Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
Restart Safari.

Acrobat recognize safari pdf

I recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat XI pro using creative cloud. I can open pdfs on disc but not on line - using safari mac

A program I run through Safari requires the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin to be installed. When I upgraded my Safari to 5.1.7 (which a program I used requires) the dobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.4 shows as installed, but the AdobePDFViewer.plugin is not recognized by Safari.
I have tried re-installing Adobe XI to see if the PDFViewer.plugin installs, and it does not. When I revert back to Adobe 10.1.4 the same is true--no PDFViewer Plugin.
I need the following:
Adobe 10.1.4 or XI
Safari 5.1.7 (not negotiable for the program that I use through Safari)
Please help, as this is work related!!
Thanks.

I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

Dear everyone
I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
I read a european commission document explaining that
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
I checked the following web page
Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
that is recommending the following:
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
unable to open these pdf.
Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
Best regards

Safari 7.0.4 will not allow Acrobat to open PDF files, Works ok with Chrome?

I cannot open PDF files with Acrobat using Safari 7.0.4
No problem if I use Chrome
Help

OK I will try to elaborate this time with pictures so it is clear what I am asking and what the issue I am facing is.
The specific option I want to be able to use from within the Adobe Acrobat Pro user interface is
File\Create\Batch Create Multiple Files
When I select that menu item a floating tool bar thing pops up that I can drag and drop files onto.
If I drag excel or powerpoint documents onto it and press OK it converts them fine. If I drag MS word documents into it the documents appear in the list but when I click OK it says no files processed.
In the process of troubleshooting I also tried using the Add Files button. That is when I discovered that MS word documents (*.doc, *.docx) are not showing up in the list of supported file types.
The same thing happens when I try converting a single file using the File\Create\Create PDF From File menu item. Just like above the MS word documents do not show up in the list of supported file types.
Looking in my registry entries as suggested by the article linked to by one of the posters above I can see both *.doc and *.docx types registered in the correct place.
Unless I can use the batch convert command as intended by the time my trial period runs out in 13 days I cannot justify buying this software. If converting the documents one at a time was acceptable I would just use Save As PDF from within MS Word which works just fine. I need the batch convert function so I can convert my whole library of word documents to PDF at once.
Any further assistance greatly appreciated!

Gray

Suspicious Safari/PDF behavior

Hello all.
I'm doing some research on international export controls and part of it has included information on the Wassenaar Arrangement (an international treaty organization). After requesting a specific pdf from the site, I got the message "Safari wants to change the font to "Symbol" on WINDOWS HD. (My aptly named Windows partition.) Since I was running in OS X and have not used my Windows partition in months, this has gotten me a little suspicious. Has anyone else run into this phenomenon? If it is a virus attack vector, are there any gurus out there interested in helping me learn a little more about it?
The offending pdf can be found at:
http://www.wassenaar.org/controllists/2008/WA-LIST%20%2808%29%201/WA-LIST%20%280 8%29%201.pdf

Hi Sean
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The PDF loaded fine for me. I'm using Adobe Acrobat as my PDF reader. You are probably using Apple's Preview.
Did you create your Windows Partition via Apple's Boot Camp. I too have a partition, however, it was created from Parallels. If Boot Camp, may be some oddity with parameters set up in your system. In any event I don't see anything malicious about the PDF file, i.e. loads like any other PDF file.

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
*As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

Acrobat 9.0 (PDF 1.8) compatibility

Just checkin' ;-)
is it just me or is the Acrobat 9.0 (PDF 1.8) compatibility just not there after Acrobat Pro X installation? (Distiller X, PDF Maker).
(Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Acrobat Pro X installer, Microsoft Office 2007).
Cheers,
Cari

Adobe is not producing a PDF 1.8 Reference. Distiller/PDFMaker didn't write anything newer than 1.7 – so no need for any newer settings in Distiller.

View Acrobat 9.0 PDF object in VB6 Form

I'm programming in Visual Basic 6 and I was able to load the Acrobat 5 pdf object into the VB form.
Now I try to find VB6 components to open Acrobat 9.0 PDF object in VB6 Form and could not find it.
What should I do?
Could somebody help me?
I’ll really appreciate it,
Ben

I forgot to tell that I have Windows XP SP3.
I added the Adobe Acrobat Browser Control type Library 1.0 (AcroPDF.dll) from Components.
But when I try to Load the PDF into the VB6 Form I received Message from Adobe:
“There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please Exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again.”
When I click OK the PDF object is not showing up in the VB6 Form and trying again not help.
If I just click the object manually outside of VB it is open without notice.
Thanks,
Ben.

Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat XI

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

Even clicking on a link to a PDF file from a "pinned" site (which, according to Microsoft, isn't supposed to be able to run with add-ons) causes the PDF file to open in the browser.
I'm using IE10 on Windows 8 Pro x64. I remember reading that Microsoft integrated Adobe Flash into IE10...I think they did the same with Adobe Reader. I just found out that pinned sites in IE10 can be used to view Flash videos, so it would seem that I am correct. Does anyone else agree with me?

Acrobat 9 Pro PDFファイルの画面中にある文字のフォント名などを知る方法

Acrobat 9 Proを使っていますが、PDFファイルを開いてそのプロパティの中のフォントを開くと各フォント別に、(a)種類、(b)エンコーディング、(c)実際のフォント、(d)実際のフォントの種類の４つが表示されます。
PDFファイルを開いた画面中にある特定の文字についてこのような情報を知るにはどうしたらいいでしょうか。4つ全ては無理としても、そのうちのいくつかだけでも知ることはできるでしょうか。

Acrobat V9.0 PDF and Reader V5.0 Compatibility

Hi - I'm having trouble with an Acrobat V9.0 PDF. The file was generated on the PC with WinXP using Acrobat V9.0 Standard Edition.
I also have access to an OS9.2 Mac which we use to run Adobe Framemaker. The Mac has Acrobat, Distiller and Reader V5.0.
Am finding that Acrobat or Reader V5.0 won't display V9.0 PDF's, coming up with a read error. I always thought that PDF was portable (Portable Document Format??).
Has the strive forward with versions now made this portabilty a thing of the past and now version dependant.
As a test we distilled a PDF using Acrobat V8.0 and this was display'd fine.
It seems to be an issue with the new realease.

Adobe neither supports nor recommends that combination. Most known problems don't relate to creating pdfs, but usually with viewing pdf files. However, if you remove Reader 9.1 you will break Acrobat 6. I'd recommend you uninstall both and re-install 6 (unless you want to upgrade to version 9). Be aware the Acrobat 9 is the last version of Acrobat you can purchase as an upgrade from Acrobat 6. When the next version comes out you'll have to pay full fare.

Export to PDF from Autocad: Acrobat always opens PDF with 'layers panel and page' shown.

Hello,
Whenever I export to PDF from Autocad, Adobe Acrobat opens the PDF with the 'Layers Panel and Page' shown.
Each time I have to manually go to 'Properties' and select 'Page only', close 'Properties' and close the PDF and select to save the changes, in order to show the just the page.
Is there a way to make PDFs always export to 'Page only' automatically as default?
Thanks!

Thakns Peter, I had seen this thread, but it doesn't really address my issue. I've exported individual chapters from the book file, all with success, so I know there isn't a file corruption issue. The problem seems to do more with memory allocation/usage.
I have tried: quitting and then immediately exporting the file, and even rebooting and then relanuching and exporting. Both of these allow me to get a few pages farther along, but still not through the entire book.
I remember back in the day there used to be a setting for how much RAM/dis c space was allocated to a certain applicatino (I knowm it was a long time ago). I didn't know if there might be something like this hidden somewhere

How do I paste a signature onto an Acrobat XI Standard pdf form?

How do I paste a signature onto an Acrobat XI Standard pdf form?

Do you want a scribbled annotation, a facsimile stamp, a signature form field, or invisible certifying signature?

Acrobat 9's PDF Printer prints pages individually (W7x64)

Hello,
I have a user that tries to print a document using Acrobat 9's PDF Printer. Despite specifying to print the whole document, the printer prompts a save location for each page of the document. This is done from Excel 2010 Pro Plus with the OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 edition.
So basically, what happens is that the printer makes a file for each page of the document.
