Adobe Reader 9 plugin crash

Windows 7 Home Premium
Firefox 3
IE 7
Whenever I try to read a pdf using Adobe reader in a browser, it crashes and I get booted from the browser.  If I try to read the pdf outside of the browser using Reader, the same plugin error window pops up and the Reader crashes.
I'm not entirely computer-savvy, so I don't know how to do a crash report, but if someone can tell me how, I will gladly provide one.
I saw on another forum to do something with the dll's, but I'm unsure of the procedure by which to do this.
The only way I've been able to read pdf's has been through "google documents" when I receive them via email.
Could someone please help?  I need to view/print documents for a legal battle regarding my child and I'm not able to do this currently.
Thank you!

First - what version of Adobe Reader do you have?
And now it gets a little bit complicated.  Adobe Reader can be a plugin to Internet Explorer, and it crashes when you try to open an online PDF document.  That is not unknown; it happens sometimes.
But when you open the standalone Adobe Reader, it also crashes with a plugin error.  This time it must be a plugin to Adobe Reader, not Internet Explorer.
Furthermore you write "the same plugin error window pops up" - so I can only assume that it is a Reader plugin that crashes, not the IE plugin.
What I would try in your situation:
open Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Adobe Reader;
open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader and delete all plugin... folders;
reinstall Adobe Reader from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe
The path in the second line above could also be ...\Reader 8.0\... depending on your Reader version.

  • FireFox opens & Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in a WOT "automatic" download.

    WOT “automatically downloads” on a separate tab every time I start FireFox. Almost every time I start FireFox the Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in the WOT automatic download and ties up my PC. The problem does not occur with Internet-Explorer which I seldom use.
    1- I removed WOT and re-installed it, but it continued the same.
    2- I reinstalled the Adobe Flash Plugin which I always keep up to date.
    3- Please work this out.
    4- Why must WOT automatically download on a separate tab every time I start FireFox? It is very annoying.
    Thank you for all you do. Have a blessed day, Steve Lahey.

  • Files for Adobe Reader Cause Crash

    Every time I try to open a file for adobe reader, whether I get it embedded in my browser or download it from the internet either Safari crashes or Adobe Reader application crashes no matter what it is. I switched to firefox because Safari kept unexpectedly quitting constantly and it was becoming so frequent that I couldn't even do anything. Any advice on how to get the adobe reader plugin for safari to work(which i did install)? Or how to get any files to work? My friend has this same problem on her iBook, too.

    Hello David:
    First, I would trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart. Then I would uninstall the current Adobe reader you have installed (get all of it) and then download the latest version from the Adobe web site. FWIW, I have no trouble at all with either safari or reading PDF files.

  • Hi, Adobe Reader XI crashes when I try to connect to a pdf online.

    Hi, Can anyone help, please? Adobe reader XI crashes when I connect to a pdf online. Pre-saved ones still read correctly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader, and reset google chrome, but the problem is still there! What can I try next???

    Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • Does Adobe Reader plugin work in Firefox 11 if launched from Gnome?

    Sorry to cross post, but I couldn't figure out how to move my post from the "Adobe Reader" forum to the "Adobe Reader for Unix" forum.
    If I launch Firefox (version 11) from the command line (Linux shell), then I can open a PDF with the Adobe Reader plugin.  But if I launch Firefox from the desktop or panel in Gnome, I get the message "Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.1.0. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment.  If the problem persists, please reinstall the application."
    acroread is in the PATH variable - I checked ("which acroread" and "echo $PATH")
    We are using acroread 9.3.2.  We tried updating to the latest acroread 9.4.something ...? but the SendMail option was missing from Edit->Preferences, so we reverted to 9.3.2.
    We are using Debian Linux 5.0.8.
    It is very convenient and user-friendly in our library for visitors to be able to view a PDF in the browser (with the plugin) and to be able to just click on the envelope icon from there to send a PDF.
    This was working fine until we upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.4.  We reverted to 9.3.2, and everything was working fine again.  Then our systems people did some things, including updating Mozilla Firefox from version 3.6.13 to version 11.  Then the plugin stopped working from the Gnome launch panel.  I tried running the old Firefox 3.6.13 from the Gnome launch panel, but the plugin no longer works in it, either.
    Has anyone had this problem?
    Sometimes running Firefox from the command line gives some errors.  I tried various versions of nppdf.so and tried toggling the about:config variable "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nppdf.so" but nothing changed.

    I have the same or a very similar issue on WIn7 64bit

  • Adobe Reader Plugins for Safari 5 on Snow Leopard

    Our software uses Adobe Reader to open, edit, and save Pdf Forms.  Most of our customer base is on Windows but we now have some MAC users as well.  Everything works fine except using Safari 5 on Snow Leopard.  It appears as if the plug ins are not loading properly or at all when Reader 9 is installed.  When a user goes to open a PDF Form, nothing happens.
    My personal Macbook which I have at the office, is Leopard with Safari 5 and when I download Reader 9, I can see the plugins in Safari and everthing works fine.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    On Snow Leopard 10.6, you need to run Safari in 32 bit mode to get the Adobe Reader Plugin to load and launch properly.
    To do this,
    1) exit Safari. 
    2) in the Finder go to your Applications folder, select Safari and do File->Get Info
    3) Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' in the General pane of that dialog
    4) Relaunch Safari
    5) Under the Safari Help->Installed Plug-ins you should now see the Adobe Reader plugin support.
    I am able to get Safari to open forms inline in Reader this way.  I am not able to get the Adobe Forms with Adobe Javascript running in this mode.  Any insight on how this might be done would be helpful.  It does work in the Standalone Reader, but so far no luck enabling it in the Safari plugin.

  • Javascript Detection of Adobe reader plugin for Adobe version 9.0

    Hi,
    I'm working on a javascript utility that finds out the version of the adobe reader plugin that is installed in firefox and IE.
    The firefox code works fine but I can't detect Adobe version 9.0 for IE using the following code.
         var LATEST_ADOBE_ACROBAT_VERSION = 9;
         //Look for versions >= 7
          for (var i = 7; i <= LATEST_ADOBE_ACROBAT_VERSION; i++){
             pluginFound = detectActiveXControl('AcroPDF.PDF.' + i);
             if (pluginFound) {
                acrobatVersion = 7;
                Document.write("Adobe Version : " + String(acrobatVersion));
                return acrobatVersion;
    The detectActiveXControl('AcroPDF.PDF.9'); function call results in an object does not exist exception at runtime despite the fact that I have adobe reader 9 installed on my machine. So I assume that the name of the object has been changed for Adobe 9.
    Ihave been googling for most of the afternoon to try and find the correct object but no luck so far. If anybody knows the name of the object for adobe reader 9 and wants to let me know it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello everyone !
    I have a similar problem... I am currently using both, Safari(5.1) and Firefox(10.0), please don't judge me Runnin on OSX Lion 10.7.2
    I recently installed a plug-in for PDF files on Firefox called Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin (recommended by mozilla.support.org) since I was unable to open PDF files without downloading them, then open them with Preview.
    I was really satisfied, works great, although i had to make some adjustments to get it started !
    Unfortunately, when I switch back to Safari, the plug kicks in. Now, as I remember, Safari has a "built-in" Adobe Reader plug in and it work just fine.
    My Question is: Is it possible to affetct the Schubert it PDF Browser Plugin for Firefox and keep Adobe for Safari ? Otherwise, I would almost prefere to have AdobeReader for both of them, since i have good experience with it.
    Thank you in advance

  • Internet Explorer ONLY passes parameters to Adobe Reader plugin for hosted files, not local

    WORKS:
    <embed src="http://host.com/test.pdf#page=5"/>
    FAILS:
    <embed src="test.pdf#page=5"/>
    Both code snippets above work when the HTML file is hosted (IIS / Apache).  My web-app needs to be able to run from a USB memory stick and work with IE9.  The #page param is required for a core feature of the app.
    Parameters after the # are passed correctly to the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox for offline files, eg: file:///C:/test.htm.  The documentation only describes hosted examples: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
    I have tried the <object> route as well with similar results, eg: http://pdfobject.com/
    I have burned over 8 hours looking for a solution. I have tried any logical settings in Adobe Reader X, and with the security zones in IE.  I am not very familiar with IE security zones, but I suspect it could be related to my issue.  I can specify the end-user change any browser or plugin settings as an acceptable solution.

    I am developing a hybrid web-application that needs to work both offline (entire website) and in a hosted environment.  A key part of the product is displaying PDF's with a dynamic index outside of the PDF. This allows us to use PDF's collected from hundreds of contractors, clients and manufacturers and combine them into one searchable product with a consistent interface.  I can specify product requirements including IE browser settings, installed plug-ins etc. I am not trying to cater to a wide audience such as everyone online, but a specific one that is spending $5k-30k for a custom resource.
    I expect the limiation is due to a wide cast net regarding security.  I tried every setting in IE and essentially fully disabling all security options did not resolve it.
    I found a solution, by accessing the ActiveX object directly you can use the exposed classes described here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=IAC_API_OLE_Objects.103.167.html
    Javascript:
    var pdfO = document.getElementById('pdfObj');
    pdfO.setCurrentPage(pageNumber);
    HTML:
    <OBJECT id ="pdfObj" data="test.pdf" TYPE="application/pdf">
        <a href="test.pdf">Fall-back code</a>
    </OBJECT>
    This actually works much faster as well, since the plugin doesn't need to be re-drawn in the DOM

    I would try deleting the program and download it again. Perhaps some part of it didn't download when you originally downloaded it.

  • When I try to print coupons, I get a message that the coupon printer plugin has crashed. I've tried following the instructions for when the Adobe Flash plugin crashes, but reloading the page does not work. Just sits there for 5 minutes doing nothing.

    Happens when going to print.coupons.com. I click the "learn more" button on the message that the plugin has crashed, and I get sent to the Adobe Flash plugin crash info page on Firefox. They say just to reload the page. There is a button for this. I click it and the page tries to reload for 5 minutes before freezing.

  • Set safari to download pdfs rather than try to use Adobe Reader plugin?

    Some websites try to open a pdf file in Safari using the Adobe Reader plugin.  I don't have this plugin (and don't want to), and I would like Safari to download the pdf rather than trying to use the Adobe Reader plugin.  This option exists in Firefox - is there any way to set Safari to do the same thing?

    On my machine, OPTION-clicking a link, downloads it or the PDF that it points to. Alternatively, load the PDF and then OPTION-click on the URL and hit the enter key. Sorry, but that's all I have to offer.

  • Adobe Reader X Crashes after Java Update to Version 7 Update 51

    Thanks.  I've posted there as well.  Anyone know if there's a workaround to keep reader from crashing with this form, or is my only option to roll back the servers until the creator of the form updates it?
    (I have notified their webmaster of the issue, but who knows how long it will take the state to update the form.)

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
    From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
    Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:
