Adobe Reader 8 Quits

I recently downloaded Adobe Reader 8 and installed easily. However, every time I try to open a PDF it stays open for 5-8 seconds and then quits. (I only have one identity on my computer, and it's the administrator.) If I act quickly, I can print the file before it quits. Any ideas?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Here is the message I got that answered it for me. When I did this, it worked, but as I went back today to be able to put the steps down here...I couldn't find the "plug-ins" option. Hope it works for you.
Topic: Reader 8.0 Fix doesn't help on Mac OS X
I downloaded Reader 8.0 to my Mac 10.4.9 and it quits about 8 seconds after opening. I found the fix and copied it to the Plug-ins folder and there is no change. Any other ideas?
Get Info on the Reader application, and under the plug-in section, uncheck the updater.acroplugin entry, then relaunch Reader.

  • Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.

    This is the second time this has happen.
    My system consists of the following:
    PC running Windows 7 w/64bit
    When I try to open a .pdf Iget a pop-up within 10 seconds say Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.
    I paid the $39.00 from tech support to get this fixed in Aug. 2011 and now it's back.
    I have gone through all the Adobe hoops and nothing has worked.

    Hi,
    Do you have any 3rd party plugin installed for Adobe Reader? If not, close all running instances of Adobe Reader and delete the entire folder at: C:\program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\plug_ins.
    Now goto Control Panel > Programs and Features. Locate the entry for Adobe Reader X and chose to repair the installation.
    If you do have a 3rd party plugin installed, try uninstalling them and see if the issue is related to the same. If it works, do let me know which plugins were causing the issue so that I can have a look.
    Hopefully, this should fix things.
    Thanks

    Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

  • Adobe Reader Just quit

    Starting this morning Adobe reader has quit working.
    I have  version 10.0.1 on an HP running Windows XP with
    service pack 3 .
    When Adobe loads I get an error message " Adobe has encountered a problem and must shut down.......'
    When I go to the Adobe website and try to load a new version or retrofit to ver 9  I get a message from the install manager: 'You already have a version installed...installation of this will cease...'
    (Error messages are not word for word)
    I go to 'Add and Remove programs' and try to remove Adobe reader and I also get error message and the system will not remove the program.

    Manually remove it following the instructions here:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400728.html
    Then download and re-install Reader X

  • Adobe Reader keeps quitting

    Hi there. My Principal has a Apple Mac running OSX 10.5.3. Whenever she tries to use Reader with a document, it opens for about 3 seconds and quits. The message she gets is "Adobe Reader unexpectedly quit"
    The error report is shown below.
    I've tried re-installing Adobe reader and I get the same problem. I'd really appreciate any advice anyone has to offer. By the way the  error report shown below is not the full thing. I've only included the first 50 lines or so

    Hi,
    It looks like network user account issue. Are you using Reader X on network user account. It should work on local admin/standard user account. For updates on network user account issue, follow this link - http://forums.adobe.com/message/3696660#3696660

  • The error "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit"

    I have gotten the RIKLA from Adobe. And I use the example code BasicPlugin(you can download it from Adobe wetsite) as my plug_in, then, I made the api file according to the steps in document in the "Creating an Adobe Reader Plug_in" section of the "Developping Plug_ins and Applications". As last,I copy the api file to plug_ins folder, open Adobe Reader 8. I saw under the Tool memu there is a new menu named Acrobat sdk so that I think the api file is loaded successfully by Acrobat reader. But an error appears, it is "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit". Can someone tell me why?Thank you.

    Nov 16, 2008 10:37 AM in response to: (bruce628) Re: the error "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit"
    I followed your instructions
    "You can find these in the "plug-ins" folder. [C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins]"
    I finally found my culprit, I deleted one file folder at a time, then restored them from my Recycle Bin.
    I finally found my culprit, in the folder “Babylon” the file “BabylonRPI" was the main culprit.
    I deleted the whole Babylon file folder, and havent had the error "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit" ever since.
    Thank you very much kid, you kept it simple, I am not a Techie either.

  • Adobe Reader Plug-in shows error 'Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.'

    I followed all the steps provided in the development guide. Still it shows this error. Please provide any help!

    No Luck
    We received the 'RIKLA-DigCert.rc' file along with 'T&C of Adobe' file. I followed the following steps as provided by Adobe's Developer's guide:
    After receiving the digital certificate, enable the plug-in for Adobe Reader, by performing the following tasks:
    1.Make a copy of dummy.rc and put it in your project directory.
    2.Open your plug-in project in Visual Studio. Make sure you are in Resource View.
    Adobe Acrobat SDK Creating an Adobe Reader Plug-In
    Developing Plug-ins and Applications Creating resource files on the UNIX platform 248
    3.Open dummy.rc from your project directory. Copy the API_ENCRYPTED_DIGEST data segment (a dummy encrypted digest) to the resource portion of your plug-in.
    4.Open the digital certificate file returned to you by Adobe. Copy the API_DIGITAL_CERTIFICATE data segment (your digital certificate) to the resource portion of your plug-in.
    5.Rebuild your plug-in. The plug-in will be created with the correct API_DIGITAL_CERTIFICATE data segment and a dummy API_ENCRYPTED_DIGEST data segment, which will be replaced with real data in the next steps.
    But the problem is, when I open ''RIKLA-DigCert.rc' file, I got only ' 
    API_DIGITAL_CERTIFICATE' inside but no'API_ENCRYPTED_DIGEST' as shown in Step-3. How do I get that? Also, we have already created Acrobat Plugin file which has got our project resource file (.rc). How do I use the same plugin for Adobe Reader as well? Is there any step missing? please provide any help as this is stopping our progress even after getting the License. Thanks in advance!  

  • Invalid Plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.

    Hi,
    I have a valid Reader Integration key. The problem is that the above message appears regardless what I am doing.
    Can anyone from adobe answers what the message means?
    Under the preferences I unchecked "Use only certified plugins".
    I have integrated a window in the plugin. While the messagebox is displayed, I can send a message to my window and therefore I see that the plugIn is loaded.
    I hope someone can help.
    Regards
    Manfred

    Certified plugins are NOT the same as reader plugins.   Certified plugins only come from Adobe and exist for both Reader and Acrobat.  Reader plugins work in Reader, while standard plugins do not.
    I would check that you are properly adding the key to the plugin - that's usally what the message means.

  • PDF quality issues on Adobe Reader for Pocket PC 2.0

    The quality of PDF's rendered by Adobe Reader 2.0 PPC is awful when compared to Adobe Reader LE. We are running it on HTC X7500's with a nice 5" display, but you have to zoom in +5x to read the text on our parts manuals, where as LE renders the same manual crisply and sharply and you don't have to zoom in at all to read the text. Unfortunately we use a lot of hyperlinks, forms and annotations in our documents which are only available with AR2.0PPC and not LE or indeed any of the other 3rd party readers (FoxitReader, PocketXPDF or Clearvue).
    I'm assuming that this is down to anti-aliasing methods used, and that AR2.0PPC has not been updated for four years!
    Are we likely to see a version of Adobe Reader for Pocket PC with the quality of LE? or have Adobe given up on developing this platform?

    >>> Our techs have been using the HTC Blueangel (Same as the I-Mate pictured on your site), and although the image rendered by Adobe Reader was quite sharp, the size of the screen meant you were continually zooming in and out of pages to find the appropriate parts. So weve chosen the HTC X7500 as a replacement because of its 5 screen (amongst other reasons). <<
    Ho Kay... have looked at the file and, based on the general layout (drawings with part# references) don't think you can get there from here.
    Back to the basic goal, a couple of thoughts based on the assumption that your company is generating these pdf's and needs pda access to them.
    Perhaps the part# references can be hyperlinked so the tech could tap the part# on the image and go to a table entry with all of the info on that specific part.
    In that case, html would be a better format for navigation since, afaik, there does not seem to be a <back> button in reader.

  • Back button in Adobe reader for iPAD pdfs

    Two problems:
    1     If I use a link in my pdf to an internet web site, how can I get back to Adobe Reader without quitting and restarting.
    2.     When I use a reference link to an entry at the end of the document I cannot go back to the text position with a single button push.

    When a link takes you to another app, you can use the App Switcher on the iPad. Just double-click the Home button, and select Adobe Reader from the horizontal list of recent apps.
    A Back button in the Reader app is a good idea, and is a feature request for future versions of Reader. I use it all the time on my laptop version of Acrobat/Reader.

  • Missing fonts in Adobe Reader for Pocket PC

    Hi, I recently installed the Adobe Reader 2.0 on my pocket PC and found that on my documents where bullet points are used it starts to complaint that it misses the font WingDings. I have installed the WinDings font in the Windows\Font directory, but it was not the solution for the problem
    Any suggestions as to how this can be resolved?
    It seems just a silly small issue, but I'm worlking on site with customers using my PocketPC for documentation and I just get driven nuts as I have to close every time the pop-up box alerting me that the font is missing!!
    Any help is appriciated.

  • Adobe Reader plugins development

    shoIs it possible to develop and use plugin for Adobe Reader XI without any registration (RIKLA)?
    I have tried to build and test BasicPlugin from SDK samples. It works but shows  message "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit" after 3-4 second.
    From documentation:
    There are three types of plug-ins:
    1.Regular plug-ins. The samples in the SDK are of this type.
    2.Reader-enabled plug-ins. These are plug-ins that are developed with permission from Adobe and that require special processing to load under Adobe Reader.
    3.Certified plug-ins. See “Certified Plug-ins”
    So I thought that I can create and use Regular plug-ins for Adobe Reader.
    Also option "Use only certified plug-ins" is not set.
