Acrobat Plugin seems to kill Debug menu

Seems as though when I have a PDF load in Safari (2.0.2) with the Acrobat Plug-in (7.0.5), it's briefly redraws my menus. When the menus come back, my previously enabled Debug menu is now gone! Restarting Safari brings it back, but it's extremely disruptive at points to do that while developing a Web site.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas short of "don't open a PDF inline" to work around it?

I was wrong. It was working because I didn't re-install the Reader Plugin. After re-installing Acrobat Reader recently, it's back to the old behavior of every time a PDF loads it kills my Safari debug menu until I restart Safari.
I tried trashing both the com.apple.safari.plist and the same for the reader plugin, but nothing seems to get rid of this extremely annoying behavior. Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • Adobe Acrobat plugin keep crashing

    Every time I try to view a pdf in Firefox, I get an error message stating that the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed.

    '''mtnharry''' (or anyone else with this problem) maybe this will help:
    ===The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed===
    You can get this error when both Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat are installed. You can resolve the problem as follows:
    #Open the Adobe Reader X application
    #Go to''' Edit''' -> '''Preferences'''
    #Under Categories (on the left) select '''General''' (near the top)
    #Click the button '''Select Default PDF Handler''' (at the bottom)
    #Under "Select Adobe Product", open the drop-down menu and click "Adobe Reader X".
    #Click "Apply", then close Adobe Reader X

  • Plugin check (incorrectly) says my acrobat plugin is out of date and takes me to a reader install

    Windows XP
    FF 20.0
    I have Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.6. and the plugin checker says its out of date.
    I don't think it is, it's just not Abobe Reader.
    I don't want to have both Acrobat and Reader. When I do, then there's two different plug-ins in FF, but they both have the same names, but they seem independent and it just seems messy. It looks as if the same plugin is on there twice, one updated and one not updated, but it doesn't seem possible to remove either one. Which is actually good, b/c one is for Acrobat and one is for Reader, which I didn't realize until I started looking into all this mess. Also, there's no point in me having Reader if I have Acrobat.
    It's weird that the plugin checker says the Acrobat plugin is out of date and directs me to the Reader 11 download to update it, eventhough I already have Reader 11 (thanks to the plugin checker). In other words, the one that is updated is Reader, but the one that is supposedly out of date just directs me to a DL that I already have installed. Sorry if its confusing.
    Now I downloaded it, and have since uninstalled it, but it seems well-known that there can be issues with dl'ing Reader when Acrobat is already uninstalled (or something), as well as when uninstalling one or the other, so now I am nervous, because I didn't take any precautionary measures when dl'ing or uninstalling Reader.
    I almost feel like I should uninstall everything (if possible) and just start fresh.
    Anyway, point is, the plugin checker is wrong, right?

    Hi jonadelman, if you have 10.1.6, you are current. It's just that the plugin checker doesn't know that both 10.1.6 and 11.0.2 are current.

  • Outdated Adobe Acrobat plugin

    Hello,
    since today, before opening a pdf document, I reach a dark page where I have to click to activate the Adobe Acrobat plugin. I have Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.5 and I knew it was outdated because I check regularly the "check plugins" page, it used to be simply paired with the yellow button and that was all. Today I get black screens whenever I try to view pdf in Firefox and I have to click on them to view pdf. From the Add-ons/Plugins control panel I know see a warning red writing above the plugin entry stating "Adobe Acrobat is known to be vulnerable and should be updated".
    I cannot seem to update because I have Adobe Acrobat X pro, and I don't want to install the reader or purchase the newest version of the pro suite. My Pc runs with WIndows XP SP3 and is quite old, all other plugins are up to date, including Java and I don't want to use the new FF built-in pdf reader.
    Any suggestion as how to disable the warnings and vulnerability screens or to update the plugin without installing Adobe Reader? Thank you

    The solution did not work for me. It had me download an msp file, but I do not have that software on my computer and do not want to download it. The description of msp on the internet sounds like downloading it will give more access to my computer than I want to give. I would appreciate clarification if I am being overly protective, but Mozilla Firefox, can you fix the problem so we can update from your button? Kindest regards, Robin

  • Two Adobe Acrobat Plugins In Firefox ... Want to Remove Outdated Plugin

    Creative Cloud Customer with all Adobe software current
    Windows 8 Pro 64 bit
    Adobe Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.2
    Firefox 19.0.1
    In looking at my Plugins, I notice that I have two Adobe Acrobat, one 11.0.0.379 and the other 11.0.2.0. The last one seems to match my Adobe Acrobat Pro version number. I assume the 11.0.0.379 is outdated?
    If I am correct in my assumption, how do I remove the the outdated plugin? Please be precise and detailed as I am still learning Windows 8. In the picture below, I have circled the plugin that I want to remove.
    I look forward to your assistance.

    Okay, well I just an interesting experience.
    Here's what happened:
    Deleted oldest program without remembering to deactivate first.
    After I uninstalled, I noticed that the program listings in the Control Panel were blank. That is, both the old and new versions were gone.
    In Firefox, the first entry of Adobe Acrobat 11.0.2.0 was gone, but the other listing of Adobe Acrobat 11.0.0.379 remained
    Thinking that I erred in not deactivating first, I used Adobe's Chat to reset my counter. The nice man asked me for my email and then my order number for Creative Cloud. After I logged into my Adobe account to retrieve the information, he promptly told me that he couldn't help me and that I needed to call back on Monday using a 1-800 number. I am puzzled why we bothered with the dance of email addresses and order numbers.
    Throwing caution to the wind, I decided to try to install Adobe Acrobat from my Creative Cloud account. The worst that happen is that it will fail to load.
    I successfully loaded Adobe Acrobat without difficulty. When I viewed the installed programs in the Control Panel, I saw that I had an outdated versions. See picture below.
    Intuitively, I would have expected programs downloaded from the cloud to be current.  So I went Help | Check for Updates
    I installed the updates. See picture below for Control Panel shot.
    Now, going back to Firefox, I am exactly at the starting point.
    In summary, the "older" version appears to stay regardless of whether Adobe Acrobat is installed or not. Perhaps it is attached to Adobe Reader XI. Or, perhaps, it's just there. Installing Adobe Acrobat XI Pro seems to add two programs to the list in the Control Panel. And it seems to have two Adobe Acrobat plugins in Firefox.
    I will call Adobe on Monday with regard to the Deactivate Issue. I have a hunch that it isn't not an issue. They might be able to tell that I uninstalled and reinstalled on the same computer.
    That's it for now.

  • Acrobat plugin sdk query

    Hi All,
    when i use acrobat sdk plugin sample in MS VS2005, it is asking "Please specify the name of the executable file to be used for the debug the session", I am not much understand about that, could some one help for, to understand how to use the acrobat plugin sdk's.
    -Thanks.

    you can run the SDK by first building the project, after successful build go to the debug folder u ill find an api generated, copy the api and paste in the Plug-in's folder(you will find this folder in the source path where you have installed your acrobat software) after pasting run the acrobat.exe you will find your plug-in installed(Normally when you run the sample plug-in you will find the plug in installed in Advanced>>Acrobat-SDK)

  • Adobe Acrobat Plugin gHINSTANCE is undefined

    Adobe Acrobat Plugin gHINSTANCE is undefined
    Hi,
    Does anyone know the correct way to include “PIMain.c” in to a project so that gHINSTANCE is available. I’ve tried using GetModuleHandleA(NULL) but this doesn’t seem to give the correct result.
    If I try using #include “PIMain.c” on compilation I get a load of errors stating that things are already defined e.g. “RestorePlugInFrame already defined”.
    I’m trying to use gHINSTANCE to create an AVIcon object.
    Is there another way to access this object?
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Regards
    Stuart

    There are many, many things to get right in building a plug-in and making a project. If you get them wrong, some will give errors, some will fail later, and many will make a plug-in that just doesn't load.
    So always start with an existing sample project, perhaps the STARTER project, and add your code rather than trying to reinvent this particular wheel.
    (If you are trying to use the plug-in API in your own EXE, give up, you cannot).

  • Debug menu will not stay disabled

    Hello,
    I have Safari Debugger 2.8 installed and at least once-a-week the Debug Menu shows up in Safari without my being turned it on.
    This appears to be random without any specific action on my part causing this behavior. I regularily "repair permissions", and MacJanitor. The PB is basically "stock" with only one haxie, iClock 3.0.4b3 .
    Any suggestions for keeping the Debug Menu off?
    Thanks

    http://www.scifience.net/debugger.html says it's not compatible with Tiger.
    But I must be missing something - isn't Safari Debugger supposed to enable the debug menu?. or does it do more than that?
    * EDIT*
    I've looked & looked - & it does seem to exist simply to enable the debug menu.
    I use the info Here to get the debug menu.

  • Calling a method in acrobat plugin as COM obj method

    Hi all,
    I want to call a method from my acrobat plugin as a COM objects method. Can i import i.e. add reference of plugin and call the perticular method which accepts two PDDoc parameters. For this I can use any platform (JS, C#, VB.net or anything). Please help me out.

    Consider I have exported the below plugin method via COM as Irosenth mentioned above, will I be able to see the highlighting happening visually in the PDF document which is currently active when I call this COM method from my C# Winform application?
    Also consider I have the Adobe Reader plugin license, will this functionality work in Reader?

  • Step into and other debugging items are grayed out in ISE debug menu in PS4.0

    hi friends
    i don't know why things go wrong for me
    it's about 3 hours that i am googling & studying documents on how to use Debugger in PS 4.0 ISE
    the problem is i open my script in ISE, but when i open debug menu, step over,
    step into, step out, stop debugger and many other items on debug menu in ISE are
    gray out.
    ( my script contains about 20 commands)
    i need to run my script in line by line method (step into)
    but its gray out  :-(
    i studies many pages regarding powershell debugger but none of the mentioned first enabling debugger ( i think maybe it's off by default)
    am i on the right way ? is debugger feature by default off in PS 4.0 ISE? is this what debugging items are gray out?
    i looked for a cmdet to enumerate the current state of ISE debugger (on or off) but unfortunately didn't find anything.
    another confusion: is it necessary to run the entire script at least one time so that step into feature be available to use?
    is yes, that's too bad. i want first examine my script line by line
    any help please
    thanks in advanced

    Unless you have break points inserted and the script actually running, then those options will be greyed out. You need to first insert your break point, and then run the script. Once the code where the break point is going to be executed, the script
    will stop there allowing you to step into or out of

    Hi clayman
    thanks for your answer. useful
    after examining many different states finally i discovered the Hidden rule which i didn't find this on the net.
    the rule is:
    when we want to examine our entire script line by line ( step into our script), we must create a line breakpoint on the
    first line of the script &
    then press F5, now the items on the debug menu are available such as step into
