Adobe Reader 9 plugin fails to load on RedHat Linux OS

I built a plugin using Acrobat SDK 9 for Adobe reader 9.5 on Redhat Linux OS. I am able to successfully build and reader enable the plugin.
But when I start Adobe Reader 9, the plugin fails to load with error "Undefined Symbol: RestorePlugInFrame".
As I understand, on Linux platform with C++ enabled, the RestorePlugInFrame function should not be required.
Is there any other flag I need to set while building the plugin?
Appreciate any suggestions in resolving this issue. Thank you.

Yes. Adobe support told me that the license key I used to build Adobe 8 plugin on Linux should work for Adobe 9 plugin too. Using SignPlugin tool and the license key I was able to successfully reader enable the plugin.

  • Enabling the Adobe Reader X plugin from Virtualized Browsers

    I think I have this one figured out. From virtualized web browsers, I have never been able to use the Adobe Reader X plugin. The Virtual app would start to load any pdf and then crash with a message about a corrupt sandbox (ZAV application sandbox). This would happen if Adobe reader was installed on the machine or virtualized as a shared component. This may be because ARX runs out of its own sandbox. I have now got this working, I will do some testing from some other Browsers.
    Application = Virtualized IE8 Configured from a recipe using ZAV 9
    Fix = add the following to the "Child Process exception list"
    Acropdf.dll; Acroiehelper.dll; Gbdetect.dll; and Pdfshell.dll
    Virtual IE8 can now display PDF's using the web plugin. I will test with firefox and report back.

    I had a chance to build this into a virtual Firefox, here are the results.
    App = Firefox 12 build from snapshot with the latest flash built into the snapshot.
    Test Machines all had different versions of ARX installed.
    Child Process Exception List = Acropdf.dll; Acroiehelper.dll; Gbdetect.dll; and Pdfshell.dll + AcroRd32.exe < Would not work with only the dll's in there
    Outcome, this does work, I have seen it load the plugin, load full adobe in the browser or just directly hand the pdf over to adobe application. I have had limited testing with this though. Any updates an I will post them.

    When I start Rhythmbox I get a message saying that the Cover art plugin failed to load.  Is there a dependency I missed somewhere?

  • Adobe Reader Browser Plugin - How to disable right click print

    Here is some background to my question
    I'm using Adobe Reader 9.2 and have configured to use the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin.
    which has the effect of launching pdf's within the IE browser rather than launching the full client. This is all working fine
    I have a requirement that I need to lockdown certain menu items (for the purpose of this example, lets say "SaveAs" and "Print") and toolbars which I have also done successfully using folder level javascripts. For example I have created a HideMenuItems.js file and placed this in the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts", here is a snippet of the file which relate to hiding / removing the SaveAs and Print items
    app.hideToolbarButton("Print"); 
    app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
    app.hideToolbarButton("Save");
    These work fine and hide the Print and Save toolbar buttons from the Adobe Reader Browser plugin menu.
    As an aside If I wanted to hide the same icons from the full adobe reader client I could use app.hideMenuItem("Print");
    So this all works fine and I'm happy so far. Now, with these settings in place I launch the pdf within the browser, although save and print buttons are now hidden and I cannot add them back, I can still RightClick anywhere in the pdf and get the context menu, from there I can select print.
    What I'm after is a way to either
    (i) Selectively remove menu items from the right click context menu, and therefore remove the print option e.g something like app.[hideRightClickMenuItem]("Print") would be great but I dont know what that method is called.
    or
    (ii) Disable the RightClick context menu altogether for Adobe Reader Browser Plugin
    Not bothered what the solution is whether its a reg hack - HKCU / HKLM  / or javascript line I can add to my HideMenuItems.js, But basically I want to lock down the ability for the users to select print button from all sources including "CTRL + P",
    Or if this is not possible let them hit CTRL P or right click print, but then not display the Adobe Print Dialog.
    Basically the printing of the documents in handled by our web app sending a silent print to the adobe application which again works fine, I just need to prevent the users from being able to initiate a print from within the pdf when displaying the pdf in a browser.
    Having searched around there is an API called AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks which is supposed to prevent right clicks, But I dont know how to use this, or whether it can be used within my HideMenuItems.js file, tried many different syntaxes but to no avail.
    Does anyone have any experience in this? Adobe - do you have any suggestions ?
    Cheers
    Will

    Hi thanks for your response, yes it seems this API is availalbe but there are no examples of how to use it. You mentioned its available in Adobe reader and Adobe Acrobat plugins. Well I'm using the Adobe Reader Active X Browser Plugin so how would I use this API to restrict the Browser plugin.l
    I am not a developer writing my own custom plugins, I simply want to use the out of the box adobe reader product, specifically the Active X browser plugin, but I need to be able to customise and restrict what the user is able to do.
    The reason I need to do this is that we publish IE on a citrix server which users access to launch this highly secure web based application. The sensitive data that they view is in the forms of PDFs which are viewed by the Adobe reader browser plugin within the browser. The web application controls who can save, export, print etc, so I need to be able to lock down the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin so that the user cannot initiate save, and print functionality from within the viewed pdf. I've done this successfully by restricting the menu and toolbar items but it is still possible to right click on the viewed pdf and click select print from the context menu. This would cause us a big security flaw, which would result in users that are only supposed to view being able to click print.
    I published a desktop (locked down) and published IE (locked down) all successfully with GPOs so the users cannot do anything they are not supposed to do, however Adobe reader it seems cannot be easily locked down and this is a problem as I might have to start looking at viable alterantives. Surely a simple requirement as this could be acheieved with relative ease.
    In an ideal world there would be an  available GPO template (.ADM file), which could be used to centrally manage these type of settings. I dont even mind writing an ADM myself, I've written many before, but for example what I need is the appropriate registry entries and how they are used to lock down / restrict certain functions so that I can write such an .ADM file.
    I dont mind how I achieve this, I just need a way to do it. So if using the API AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks would achieve this, can someone please tell me how I can implement something that would use this API to restrict the right Click Print options for example.
    The sort of answer I;m looking for would be
    Create a file, paste in this code, place the file is this location xxxxx, this is a per machine fix so will affect all users
    or
    Edit the regstry and make this HKCU change xxxxx - This is obviously a per user fix so use normal methods to get this into every users profile.
    or
    Open up the file in this location xxxxxx and add AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks = AlwaysDisable (or whatever the syntax is)
    Thanks for you help
    Cheers

    Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
    The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines.  However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE.  Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
    Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

  • Adobe Reader Firefox Plugin

    I am running Fedora 8 (kernel 2.6.23.9) with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 on a Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of ram. When I use the Firefox browser (2.0.0.10) to read a PDF document, a process named acroread is started. I assume this is done by the Adobe Reader Firefox plugin. After you leave the document the acroread process begins to use 40-60 percent of the CPU and never ends. Exiting the browser does not stop the acroread process. It continues to run away. After a couple of attempts the kill command will end this acroread process. At one time I had four of these runaway processes running at once. I assume that every time I entered a PDF document in the browser it starts a new acroread process. This problem does not happen when you use the Adobe Reader outside of the browser on local PDF files. Is there something I can collect to help solve this problem? Is this a known problem?

    Experiencing same memory leak problem on Fedora 8 Kernel 2.6.24.3-34 x86_64, glibc 2.7-2,
    with FireFox 2.0.0.08, 2.0.0.10, 2.0.0.12, and 2.0.0.13
    and AdobeReader 8.1.1 and 8.1.2
    b Observations when running any version of FireFox:
    *1-when reading a pdf file, System Monitor displays a new process called "ld-linux.so.2";
    *2-when getting off the pdf file, process "ld-linux.so.2" remains active;
    *3-when reading a new pdf file, another "ld-linux.so.2" is started;
    *4-when closing FireFox, one or several "ld-linux.so.2" processes remain active and become runaway processes;
    *5-these "ld-linux.so.2" runaway processes eat-up about 1MB per second until system freezes.
    b Another observation:
    *When starting Adobe Reader, System Monitor does not display "acroread", it displays "ld-linux.so.2"
    Adobe Reader launcher uses a script called "acroread"; this script launches the binary either directly
    or through "/lib/ld-linux.so.2".
    b Further observations:
    *1-In FireFox, when Adobe Reader is launched through "/lib/ld-linux.so.2", it becomes a runaway process.
    *2-On the other hand, when Adobe Reader is launched directly,
    ]-System Monitor displays "acroread"
    ]-acroread always terminates as it supposed to do.
    b Solutions:
    * 1-add a symbolic link as follows:
    ]ln -s ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
    *2-or install Package redhat-lsb as follows:
    ]yum install redhat-lsb
    b Conclusion:
    It appears that "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" is not handling the "term signal" received from FireFox when exiting a pdf page. When Adobe Reader is started directly, it does handle the "term signal" received from FireFox and terminates correctly.
    b Outstanding Question:
    Is "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" supposed to handle the "term signal"? If so, this is where the bug is because it does not. If not, why is it used to launch Adobe Reader?
    Home my many hours of investigations can help someone.
    b Note
    Sorry. Problem is NOT entirely solved here! Still some memory leaks at times.

  • Adobe Reader Search function fails

    @@I'm using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 under Windows 7 64-Bit SP1 with all actual updates. When i try to search any word or Phrase of contained in the text of a specific PDF File, then the search Fails. It does not come up with the search item i have keyed in. I did not misspell the search item and it is definitely contained in the text, but the search function does not find it. i am absolutely surethat the search item is in text Format and it is contained in the PDF file, because i can Access and search it when i open this PDF file on an iPad for instance. there it works, but not in my Windows envioenment.
    I guess that this problem will not be completely new for you, because other users are discussing this Problem in the Internet as well.
    Can you help me with an answer and hopefully with a recommendation on how to overcome this Problem.
    thanks in advance and
    Kind regards
    Guenther
    p.s.:
    sorry, i am new on thjis platform... how  when aproximatrely does one get an answer here?

    Hello Pat,
    i followed your advise and have used the link contained in point 3 of
    your recommendations --- for reference see your response as appended
    below (https://cloud.acrobat.com/).
    So, in case i made no mistake (?), then you can access the PDF file we
    are talking about when you follow this link here:
    https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/0f9d2ce4-b4b9-4223-8fd2-723441d7d2ab***
    This PDF file contains a description of an olympus camera. When you open
    this PDF file please go to page 6.
    Directly under the picture on top of the page (which shows a dark blue
    car driving from left to right) you can read the word "Mitziehmodus"
    (without parantheses). This german word is one of those search items
    which the PDF search function of my PDF reader installation does not
    find. There are many other words the search function does not find as
    well, but let us use this word (Mitziehmodus) as an example to
    demonstrate the malfunction as i experience it on my pc.
    Meanwhile i have installed a completely new windows-system 7 from
    scratch. The PDF reader (11.0.10) is currently the only installed
    software. I made this windows 7 installation only to assure that there
    is no other software eventually influencing the search function. But the
    search function fails again when searching for this word "Mitziehmodus".
    One remark still to your statements concerning accented characters.
    Character like ä, ö, ü or ß are quite normal characters in writing
    german language text. But these characters can not be found also! In
    general it does not make much sense to serach for a single character (at
    least in my understanding). Searching for ä or ö or ü results in finding
    something completely meaningless. But this behaviour shows additionally
    that there is something wrong with the search function as it ist
    implemented in Adobe Reader.
    In general i am convinced that this PDF file will be correct ,
    because i can search any search item and find correct search results
    when i access this file on my iPad regardless in what so ever combination.
    i hope that you can access the problem PDF file following the link i
    sent you above.
    And i would be happy wehen you could find thze reason for my search
    problems.
    thank you so far. i appreciate to heare from you soon.
    kind regards

  • Installation How-to for minimal/small footprint Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin

    I need to install Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin in a small Linux based environment.
    As a proof-of-concept, I downloaded and installed the AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
    to an NFS share mounted to the Linux thinclient. That worked -- eg, the plugin was available
    to the browser so the OS will support that build. However, the client does not have much
    writable 'disk' space available and using any type of share (NFS/Samba) is not an option in
    the production environment.
    I need to use the plugin from within Firefox (6.0+) and have to be able to print via CUPS.
    DIsk space available is less than 50Mb, preferrably a lot less!
    Is there a guide available for a mimimal installation?
    Any sugguestions as to what files/directories I have to copy to the local filesystem for
    * an absolute minimum ?
    * a bit more if there's room?
    Suggestions / pointers appreciated..
    Tom

    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.

  • Adobe reader 9 plugin crashes

    Since the replacement of Adobe Reader 8 by Reader 9 the Adobe PDF plugin crashes the browser (Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7) after loading the PDF an a new TAB. When I disable the plugin in Firefox, Firefox does not crash any more but the PDFs open in Adobe Reader outside the browser.
    Windows XP SP3, Adobe Reader German version.
    Any ideas ?

    This is an update to my original message.  Our Ahlta msi installer installs the older dll files into system32.  When we removed the older dll versions from system32, on the next reboot the Ahlta msi checked for the older dll files- it didn't find them there of course, and prompted with a Ahlta reinstallation.  So, instead what we're doing is leaving the older dll files in system32 folder for the Ahlta program, and instead have copied the newer adobe 5 dll files mentioned above to the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer folder. If the registry value (SafeDllSearchMode) is set to 1, then programs will search their current folder before looking into system32.
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SafeDllSearchMode
    If the above is set to 0, you can change it to one with reg.exe, or instead just create a .local file.  For example an empty local file:
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.local
    If C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe finds the .local file, it will check its own directory before checking system32, regardless of the SafeDllSearchMode value.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586(VS.85).aspx
    Example:
    xcopy C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\ACE.dll C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\
    xcopy C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\ACE.dll C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    Do that with each dll, also I made a blank .local file for for iexplore.exe and filefox.exe then copy them over:
    xcopy iexplore.exe.local C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\
    xcopy firefox.exe.local C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    good luck.

  • Pdf display problem in Adobe Reader (NOT plugin)

    I looked around and found a lot of people having problems with the .pdf plugin inside Safari... that is NOT my problem... just to get it out of the way...
    I have .pdf files on my iMac, files in which I work, like forms. They are standalone and have nothing to do with the web.
    They have been created a while ago (couldn't say which version, but I'd say at least 5 years ago). Except, the problem isn't that the files are too old for the new versions... I am currently using those files without any problem with version 9 on my Macbook (Snow Leopard), while on the iMac (ML) I have the exact same problem no matter which version I try : version 9, version X or XI !!!
    What happens is this : I open a file (form-type) and I have pale blue covering every field except the one my cursor is in... and most of the fields are flashing... flashing between that blue and the usual color, and entries/nothing.
    Say a field is usually pink with a time in it, it will flash between blue and pink, and the time will appear and disappear, on and off... seemingly forever...
    I just checked a file I had which is mostly text (an e-book) but with a few note-fields... these were also blue... but nothing was flashing.
    It seems it's the "interactive" fields that are acting weird.
    Since the problem is the same no matter the Adobe Reader version and only on my Mountain Lion computer, it seems it has to do with Mac OSX 10.8 but is there a solution? Has anyone else encountered this?

    After so many hours of searching, I finally found both culprits!!!
    A) the blue: It was stupid of me, really... it was simply that the "highlight existing fields" was selected (right top corner, usually). Once I de-selected it, all the blue went away... but data continued to disappear except when a box was selected. See B...
    B) Do NOT, Never ever, use Preview to make changes in a .pdf file and then save the file... That was the problem!
    It must've happened a few times, for example it just did this morning, on my new laptop on which I hadn't set Adobe to be my default program for .pdf and the file opened in Preview... I didn't even notice...
    And after searching some more I found a few threads and all had in common that people had used Preview to make changes and save the file... seems that Preview corrupts the files!
    By the way, Eric, no, opening in Preview did NOT give the same results... but files I opened that had never been opened (or, at least, not tempered with) in Preview were all fine...
    Thanks for your help though!

  • Starting Adobe Reader with ShellExecute fails

    Hi,
    When I try and run open a PDF with shell execute and Adobe Reader being the default application, the PDF opens an Adobe Reader and then Reader crashes about five seconds afterwards with a Visual C++ error. I'm trying this in a 64bit Windows 7 enviroment.
    From checking process monitor, it looks like Adobe reader is trying to access the systemprofile directories which is being denied. If I give everyone permissions to these folders it works again.
    Open the PDF from explorer works fine.
    Any help, clues or hints anyone?

    Hey,
    I think I've found the root cause and can't easily test the broken code anymore.
    I did try running it it compatibility mode originally though and it did solve the problem. It also said that protected mode was disabled when I was running the app in compatibility mode, so I asume that turning off protected mode would also be a work around.
    The cause I think was that when using shell execute, the users enviromental variables were not being loaded by Adobe Reader. This is confirmed by checking the Adobe Reader process with process monitor. I could see that Reader was looking in SystemProfile folders to read and write, which of course is not right and quite rightly being denied. I think it was these denials that causes the crash.
    My solution is to load the users enviromental block and using StartProcessAsUser instead. This means that Reader gets the right enviroment and starts to look in the users APPDATA folder rather than system profile.
    Any comments may be interesting!
    Ta,
    Andy.
