Acrobat reader plug-in

When trying to view a bank statement online i get this message:
I'm sorry. I can't find Acrobat Reader installed. Please download and install plug-in before viewing statement.
I have tried to download Adobe Acrobat. It shows up under applications in Finder. There are no plug ins for adobe showing up up in my plug ins list, only shockwave, quicktime, java etc.
I think when i used to try and open a plug in it asked me if i wanted to use a default program and if i said yes it would open in another window.
What am i doing wrong!!!!

Adobe reader comes with an optional internet plugin, for displaying pdf's within your browsers. A very few websites may insist upon using that plugin, rather than Apple's built-in pdf support.
You can enable it via Adobe reader preferences - Internet, and checking the box marked "+Display PDF in browser using+..."
Do this with any browsers closed
The actual file, for those interested - is found within the adobe reader package, at
/Applications/Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/MacOS/SelfHealFiles/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin and needs to be copied to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ or
/Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ in order to over-ride Safari's built-in pdf support.

Installing Acrobat Reader Plug-In Only (Not Full App)

I'm curious to know if its possible to load the Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug-in portion only in IE and Firefox. Ideally I'd prefer to not have to install the entire application just to view PDF's in IE/Firefox as I rely on a third party application to view, and manipulate, PDF's outside of the browsers. Yes, I can change the association of .PDF's in Explorer or re-install (or perform a repair installation of) the application to restore the file associations, but if I can avoid installing Adobe Acrobat Reader all together, I'd prefer that route.
Is this possible or does the application have to be installed?
Thanks
Jules

It needs to be installed.

Disabling/Re-enabling Adobe's Acrobat Reader Plug-in

Hi there
I was forced to install Adobe's Acrobat Reader Plug-in in order to view and download my bank statements. However, I would like to use Safari's default PDF viewer plug-in when browsing other than my bank's website.
Is there any way to disable and re-enable the Adobe Acrobat Reader (Plug-in) without having to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue with 9.0.0 -- option to disable from Reader's "Internet" options was grayed out.
This is a side-effect (feature?) of how Adobe installs the plug-in at the System level
/HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
instead of at the User level
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
I switched to an Admin account, launched Reader, and the option was not grayed out. I deselected it then quit and switched back to my user account.
When I launched Reader in my user account and opened preferences, then selected Internet, the option was still grayed out but now the "feature" was disabled.
So, Adobe has decided that individual users don't merit control over their own plug-in preference. It's the admin's choice and that dictates for all users on the system.
Like you, there are only a few situations where I am forced to use Adobe Reader -- certain medical, insurance, or financial forms that don't render or transmit accurately when using Preview.
Drives me nuts -- those are exactly the kind of forms I want to save as PDF to disk when completed -- and Adobe explicitly prevents saving as PDF. I can transmit the completed form to the provider, or I can save a blank form, but I cannot save a PDF of the completed form. Like chewing on soap by the time I'm finished...
Anyhow, hope that sorts it out for you.

Repeated notification that "Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in" in Firefox is "out of date" after the upgrade is downloaded and installed.

I have tried to update the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, along with the plug-in in Firefox v37.0.1. Repeatedly, after the download/installation is "complete", upon opening Firefox I'm met with the message that the "Adobe Acrobat plug-in" is "out of date". I tried rebooting my machine, uninstalling Acrobat Reader DC (which works as a stand-alone), and still the plug-in is never updated (the one listed is from early December 2014) and the reminder always reappears with opening Firefox. Can anyone help with this?

Sorry about the issue which you are facing. It would be helpful if you could share the firefox notification message screenshot.
Also, please check that the firefox plugins show the correct Adobe Acrobat Reader DC plugin. If possible, please share the firefox plug in screenshot as well.

64-bit acrobat reader plug-in?

Is there a 64-bit version of the acrobat reader plugin that works with the 64-bit version of IE? I am developing a 64-bit native application and I would love to be able to support PDF documents. My normal process for vieweing PDF documents is to use the IE web browser control and to navigate to the PDF document and let the acrobat reader plugin display the document. However, on 64-bits I am restricted to using the 64-bit IE browser control, and the 64-bit browser control does not like the 32-bit acrobat reader active-x plugin.
Is there a 64-bit version of the acrobat reader plugin? Is there a preferred method for viewing Adobe PDF documents from native 32-bit and 64-bit applications?
Many thanks in advance!
Miles

Thanks for the answer, but I remain somewhat confused...
I just downloaded Adobe Reader X, from the Adobe site. This download appears to be Adobe Reader version 10. Are you telling me that Adobe does not make or distribute this software?
Back to my point, this new reader does not seem to address the issue of being able to view Adobe PDF documents from within a 64-bit browser.
My question is simple. Is there a 64-bit browser plug-in that will view a PDF document from within a 64-bit version of IE?
From reading through the forums I can see many cases where people are experiencing similar if not exactly the same issue as I am having; however I do not see any posted solutions.
What is the recommended way for a 64-bit native application to view an Adobe PDF document?
Again, I ask, is there a way for an Adobe PDF document to properly open up inside of a 64-bit web browser?
If there is not a web browser solution then is there an SDK solution?
When working through the Acrobat SDK sample code, specifically with the example, BasicIacVC, I can see C\C++ OLE calls being made to "AcroExch.PDDoc". Does this mean a user of the SDK must have Acrobat Exchange installed on their desktop in order to view a PDF document? Generally, customers would rather use the Acrobat Viewer to view PDF documents, rather than to be forced into purchasing Acrobat Exchange.
Any insight or suggestions into this matter is greatly appreciated!

Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug - Writing to text file

Hi,
I have an Acrobat plug-in which performs various functions including writing to a text file on c:\
If I use my plug-in with Acrobat all is well.
If I use the same plug-in with Reader everything seems to work ok except that it won't create the text file. It's as if Adobe reader is protecting this somehow.
Has anyone seen this before? Any one know how to get around it?
Regards
Stuart

More about protected mode. It is designed specifically to protect the user against attacks originating INSIDE Adobe Reader (e.g. via exploits). Sandboxing is a leading edge protection technology, which (for example) is also being applied to browsers. Your plug-in is therefore part of the problem to be protected against. You have to fully understand the philosophy to exist inside this new sandboxed world. Here is some reading

Touchpad scrolling not working since v16.0.2 upgrade.... All other Windows apps are fine. Scrolling even works in Acrobat Reader plug-in within Firefox.

Tried rolling back to a previous version to no avail. Seems the new version has made some permanent changes to the system.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Problem reopening and/or refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0

I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 and have encountered problems refreshing PDF files in the Safari 2.0.4 browser when I am logged into the secure area for Value Line Publishing. Some of the PDF Files in this area can be opened and/or refreshed multiple times. Other PDF files in this area allow me to open them once. I cannot reopen those previously viewed files (or refresh the screen) -- after refreshing, the window changes to a blank white screen, and the files do not reopen.
I am perplexed because I do not have difficulty refreshing the PDF files (within Safari) using the native PDF viewer, I did not have problems refreshing files using Acrobat Reader V. 7.0 and I do not appear to have problems refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 when I am outside the secure area or on other web sites.
I have replaced the Acrobat Reader plug-in, manually removed all remnants of previous versions of Acrobat Reader and reinstalled V. 8.0. and I also upgraded from Mac OS 10.4.8 to 10.4 9, all to no avail.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
I can also download the PDF files to my hard drive and refresh them multiple times within Safari and also using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0
The software personnel at Value Line Publishing have investigated their system and have referred me back to Apple. Has anyone heard of similar problems associated with Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 used in conjunction with Safari 2.0.4?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Rodney
Welcome to Apple Discussions
This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

Acrobat Reader X Protected mode and DDE

Hi,
I have an acrobat reader plug-in that we communicate with using DDE commands (based loosly on the DDEserver sample from the SDK). However, it doesn't work in Acorbat Reader X Protected mode.
I've tried using the ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt method but to no avail.
Did anyone encounter this issue with plug-ins that uses DDE? Can anyone point me to solution or alternative way?
Thanks,
Yoav

Thanks for the reply.
IF the whitelist is indeed the correct way, i couldn't make it work with it. I must say that the documentation out there on the whitelist is far from being perfect. The closest thing I found was about namedpipes in the Broker log but nothing on DDE.
As for the license and developer support - The license was granted years ago and I'm not sure if developer support is still active for us. How do I check this?

Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 - acrobat reader 11.0.10 - don't work on Safari

Hi,
I just upgrade my Mac to Yosemite 10.10.2 and acrobat reader 11.0.10,

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.

Cost for Enabling Plug-in for Acrobat Reader

Hi,
I read the developer note and noticed if I want to enable my plug-in for Acrobat Reader I need "Visit the Adobe web site and fill out an Adobe Reader Integration Key License Agreement."
I heard the cost is 100 US dollars per license. I am a bit confuse with it. The cost is $100 for each plug-in no matter how many copies I distributed in company. Or $100 for each computer I want to install my plug-in?

Hello,
my question is also related to the integration of our plugin into Acrobat Reader.
I fulfilled the application form for the Reader Integration Key License Agreement and I sent an email to [email protected] but I received an error that is the email account doesn't exist.
I didn't manage to find a valid account where I can send the form.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards.

Why do I get "missing plug-in"notice when trying to download a document requiring acrobat reader?

I cannot download a prospectus that requires acrobat reader. There is a message on the site that states I am "missing plug-in". I have contacted the issuer of the prospectus and they say the path is correct. I have even downloaded the acrobat reader software that they suggested. I uninstalled this because it didn't work either. What would the missing plug-in be and where can I get it? Thank you for any help.

I really appreciate the help. I always have had my Preview selected as the default. I went through all the steps again just to make sure I hadn't inadvertently changed something. I still cannot open this link. You and WZZZ have made me realize I may not have explained my problem well enough.
I actually don't have an attached PDF in my email. What they sent me was a link to a website that was to open my prospectus within the browser. The senders of the email also stated that I would need the Adobe Reader to open it. I downloaded their version of Adobe Reader, but that didn't work either, so I uninstalled it. I deleted the Adobe Reader Plug-in from HDD - Library - Internet Plug-ins. That didn't work either. I have updated the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (I'm not even sure this is connected to Adobe Reader but it seems to be since the AdobePDFViewer.plugin was reinserted). None of these things has worked for opening this file.
I am willing to download another browser. Would you recommend Opera or Firefox?
