Adobe PDF Plugin not working FireFox and SeaMonkey

Just updated to Acrobat XI. I find that the plugin to view PDF's doesn't work. just receive a Blank Screen when I try to view a Plugin.
I also notice in addons when you go to plugins it shows two acrobat Pdf Plugins:
Adobe Acrobat NPAI Plugin
Adobe AAMDetect Adobe AAMDetect 1.0.0.0
and the one called 1.0 I have no idea what that is.
I see no sign of the Adobe PDF Plugin (which is in the Internet Plugins Folder)
I can use a Plugin from Schubert from Germany but it doesn't work with buttons to swich to a web page.
I can use Acrobat Reader. However in order to work it has to download the page from a website first. Who wants to do that.
Can't you get this fixed???

Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plugin is not supported in Firefox or SeaMonkey. Try disabling this plug-in from Firefox/SeaMonkey > Tools > Add-ons, then quit and restart your brwosers.
This should let you save/downlaod the PDFs locally.

I have repeatibly loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update. While the plug in check is important it is quite bothersome at present. Please help.

EVERY TIME the browser boots it kicks off the plug in check. I understand that this is important but it is currently a pain. Once I update Adobe Acrobat Plug in the browser does not recognize that the plug in has been installed and keeps coming up and up an up an up.
This is the message I get.

Deploying Adobe reader plugin not working

Hi
I have an adobe reader plugin that works on my development machine. It displayes the toolbar in the "Extended" tab. I copied the .api file onto the plugins folder on another machine but the extended tab does not display. I also copied this onto the plugins folder just to test and this works.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some place where it(adobe reader) logs errors?.

One of the limitations of plug-ins (in many apps) is that they tend to have to be developed in the same language as the host. Otherwise the cost of converting linkages makes plug-in performance unacceptable; similar to the reason 32-bit apps have 32-bit plug-ins and 64-bit apps have 64-bit plug-ins. Acrobat is written in C/C++, hence so are plug-ins. If Acrobat was ever written in C# (unlikely while it is also on Mac), then no doubt all the plug-ins in existence would need to be rewritten in C#.
Personally, having developed many and very large Acrobat plug-ins, I don't see that C# would be an advantage. Of course what is popular and what is marketed to developers is not always what is the most practical.

Adobe PDF Printer not working in Illustrator since 9.3.2 update.

Greetings all,
Since updating Acrobat Pro to 9.3.2 I've not been able to print to PDF from Illustrator using the Adobe PDF Printer (Adobe PDF 9.0 in my printer list).
I've tried several restarts and have also removed the printer and run the Repair Acrobat Installation from the Help menu of Acrobat to reinstall the printer, but problem remains.
I've also tried printing from other programs (namely Thunderbird, Firefox and Photoshop) and the printer has worked fine so I suspect this my be isolated to Illustrator.
No error messages are given and the Illustrator print jobs are listed as Completed in the printer job list but no files are created.
I've got a work-around, printing to Postscript file then converting to PDF in Distiller and it seems to be working fine, but not my ideal solution.
I've checked for updates in Illustrator but none are available.
System details:
OS X 10.5.8 (MacBook Pro 15", around 2.5yrs old)
Adobe Creative Suite CS 3, Acrobat Pro 9.3.2, Illustrator 13.0.2
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Dave

I've never liked the Save As PDF option in Illustrator. Though the quality is excellent, in my experience it creates bloated PDFs that are often too big to email.
Take for example the file that prompted my original post. If I print to PDF (or in this case use my workaround, creating a PS file, then converting to PDF in Distiller) using my Hi Rez preset, the final PDF is 648K. If I Save As PDF using the same preset, the final file is 5.5Mb! A ridiculous size for a CMYK flyer measuring just 134x70mm.
The reason for the size increase is obvious when the big pdf is opened in Illustrator: all the bits and pieces outside the artboard and on hidden layers are all preserved. In reality, it's just the same as the original Illustrator file seeing as Illustrator's native AI format is pretty much a pdf in all but name only.
Do you know of a way to use the Save As PDF command that eliminates the unwanted material and gets the file size down? That would really make my day!
What I wish for is an Export To PDF command as found in InDesign. That seems to give the best of both worlds.

Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
- from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
- go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
- go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
delee the PDF port monitor if present
3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
again delete and pdf printer subkey
If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
Copy and pate the following commands in order
1: net stop spooler
2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
3: net start spooler
4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
That should set back the pdf printer.
This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

Adobe Flash Plugin Crash in Firefox and IE

About a week ago my firefox and internet explorer browsers haven't been able to play any flash movies. For example, I go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash.html and click play on the main video section that pops up and the adobe flash plugin has crashed screen appears.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled flash to the newest version and back to version 10.3 as well and both of these things did not fix the problem.
Please let me know if you need any other info to help fix the problem. I appreciate the help!

The Adobe Flash plugin not working

I downloaded and installed the Adobe Flash plugin last version (11), but Firefox doesn't recognizing it and asking me again to install it. OS - MAC, version 10.6.8

You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.

For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

Create Adobe PDF Online Not working?

I'm on forever hold with Customer SErvice - started a document yesterday MORNING that said it would start in 9 hours 28 minutes and it STILL says that 24 hours later - any ideas?????

I actually use Java's java.awt.font to create font of CIDFont
type2(TrueType) which is embeded in the PDF file. It seems that
type of English fonts are fine. But for the Chinese fonts, I met
the problem with the font files created by Acrobat 7 from a
Word's .doc file. No such problem ever happened with the PDF files
exported from InDesign. So, I guess there is some difference with
the font files generated by Acrobat and InDesign.
More details of the problem: There is no complain to create the
font. But the machine crashed when create the shape of glyphs.
I am puzzled...

Adobe PDF Export not working

Every time I try to convert a doc I get the following message . . ."An error occured while trying to access the service" If it's going to do this every time then I want my money back as it's worthless to me.

Hi,
Are you trying to convert your files from within Adobe Reader? If so, please make sure that you have the most current version by choosing Help > Check for Updates. Earlier versions of Reader could cause the specific error that you're reporting.
Thanks

Internal pdf links not working in chrome and firefox

I have some PDF files that I am adding links to additional PDF files that are located in the same folder on our webserver using Acrobat Pro XI. The links work fine in IE and the other PDF files open up and display well in the IE browser, but the links don't even show up in Chrome and will not open in Firefox. Further, the links in Safari, deliver an error message pop up saying the file could not be opened. If you click OK, the file does open. Also, in Acrobat > Tools > Add or Edit Link, I can change the properties to "Open File" and pick the "Open in New Window" option, but when I save the changes and come back, the option has automatically changed back to "Execute a Menu Item" and of course, the file I'm linking to does not open in a new Window. These files were originally created in Word by another person and the person who converted them to PDF added fillable form fields throughout the document prior to converting to PDF. The links I am adding are being added using Acrobat Pro XI in the PDF file. Should we insert the above-mentioned links in the Word docs prior to converting to PDF to ensure the links work in all browsers, or are these browser issues common to all internal PDF links?
Please help!
Thanks,

Make sure that you are using the Adobe PDF NPAPI viewer for Chrome and Firefox. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox now have their own default PDF viewers.

Adobe Reader XI not working with SBA forms in FF and Chrome

So I am having this issue when I try to open an SBA form in chrome or FF where it will not open first try and I have to refresh the page untill it opens. IE on the other hand does not give me this problem, but I don't want to recommend my custoemrs use IE.
As a side note SBA forms have to be vied with Adobe so I have already disable Chromes pdf viewer and all other pdf viewers except adobe.
Please help!
-edit
Adobe Read XI version 11.0.06
Chrome = 32.0.1700.107 m
IE = 11
FF = 26. currently updating will check with new version

I do not use Chrome, so I can't advise you about that.
But Firefox also uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe PDF plugin. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33 does not print correctly. Some text comes out all garbled but looks fine on screen.

I am using Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33. I can open PDF files and they look fine. When I print some of the test comes out all garbled - usually labels, notes at bottom etc. If I disable plugin then when I open PDF Firefox uses Adobe PDF reader to open file and then printing is fine. I have Adobe reader 10.1.5

I am seeing the same issue with Reader 11.0.1.36. Without the Adobe plugin enabled, no issue. Probably related to the type of font being used for the garbled text. There are many font bugs related to various fonts and various Adobe programs filed at Bugzilla. Looks like Adobe has some fixing to do with their Firefox / Netscape plugin.

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 PDF Toolbar Not Showing In Firefox

I installed CS5 Master Collection in Windows 7 64 and Adobe PDF toolbar installed automatically in IE8 but not in Firefox latest version. Would somebody please tell me what to do to install in Firefox?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for all the information. I'll upgrade to Acrobat X.

Adobe Reader if always free. Acrobat requires a purchase.
Also Acrobat X has different UI, there is usually a floating toolbar that can be used to open the full toolbar.
