Adobe Reader "Link in plugin browser"

Hello,
I view a PDF in the browser Internet Explorer.
This pdf contains a number of links.
Each of these links opens a pdf document, other than that of departure, to a certain page in the same browser window.
Instead of positioning the page indicated, the document is opened to the first page.
The method used for opening the pdf to a specific page is the following:
I tried several solutions, including javascript, with the same result.
May depend on what?
Greetings and Thank you.

Yes you can link to the official download page for Adobe Reader, see the below link for Adobe's rules on logo usage:

You cannot host the installer package on your own website.

Adobe Reader 9.1 crashes browser when clicking PDF links

Steps to recreate issue:
1. With Adobe Reader 9 loaded on your Windows PC...
2. With ANY browser, go to any url where you can download PDF forms (ex. www.dlis.dla.mil/PDFs/DD2875.pdf OR http://www.irs.gov/app/picklist/list/formsInstructions.html and click on any .pdf form)
Results: The browser (whether IE 6, 7, 8 or Firefox, Netscape, etc) will crash. The support window takes you to a place that informs you it is an Adobe problem.
Expected results: The PDF should be opened and displayed as usual.
Mitigation: It only occurs with Adobe Reader 9. When I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9, and reinstalled 8.1.3 there was no issue.
Can I get a witness?
How about a fix for this?
[I also work at government sites where they have lots of .pdfs accessible online. They cannot open any of them because of this issue with Adobe Reader 9; the browser just crashes and that is the end of that.]

You could try some of these: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/391737
However, sometimes replacing \windows\system32\ace.dll with the adobe one in \program files\adobe ...... reader\ace.dll has been said to work. Really ugly fix - hopefully someone at Adobe corrects this issue in the future.

InDesign to Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader Link problem

Hi - I'm responsible for a long conversation about link problems in creating file links in InDesign that did not work in Acrobat. At the end of that long discussion, I thought I solved the problem, but didn't. Since then, I've been MUCH more observant.
The problem appears to take place in Adobe Reader.
My home computer on Win7 is different than my work Computer (XP), but I have the same software on both.
At work, I discovered that when I clicked on a PDF, it worked fine, that its links opened a new PDF window, but when I clicked on links on the second document, the links failed and Microsoft returned an error message telling me that I was screwed. Because I was screwed, I couldn't see what was in the path of that error.
It turns out that for some unknown reason (which you might clarify for me), my Adobe Readers are attempting to open my documents in Internet Explorer and that just won't work.
What I observed at home is that I made 5 test documents in ID, and ported them to Acrobat. As it turns out, my default for opening PDFs is Adobe Reader, which I saw on the chrome of the first document I opened. When I clicked a link, and I got the error message, I noticed my browser was up.
When I set my default for opening in Acrobat, everything worked like a charm! How about that!
Now then, what that says to me is that Adobe Reader is to be used exclusively with a browser, so if the people who are going to read your internal PDF files with Reader without those files being on a web server of some type, you are totally screwed. The only way you can use Reader is if you click on the file and bring it up directly. Don't rely on linking to other documents.
I mean, that is what it seems to me.
Now, I am creating a big project for an environment without a webserver and obviously my sense of panic is palpable. That said, I believe that all my users can read my files using Acrobat (to be tested tomorrow), which I hope means I can breathe a bit easier.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this subject? If you are really curious, I can make a packet of test files available.

The files and the PDFs are all in the same directory.
The tests are on local drives. All indesign files and their related PDFs were in the same directory.
The same for Word and its related PDFs. Note that the PDFs created by Word then read by Adobe Reader worked correctly. They all opened in Adobe Reader.
If the default program for opening PDFs is Acrobat, everything works correctly, with the added benefit of everything opening in a different window, which is what I want (yet to be tested at work). If the default program is Adobe Reader, the second generation of links do NOT work because Reader opens in Internet Explorer.
When I open a Word-created PDF with Acrobat, view the link, and click to the Actions menu, the action is "Open a file"
When I open an InDesign PDF with Acrobat and do the same, the action says "Open a web link"
Big BIG BIG bug.
Are you seeing the link commands by editing them in Acrobat? If not, try, so you can see the exact command and file or URL instruction. It still may be a bug, but you'll have better evidence when you report it here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
And, you might want to try correcting a link command in Acrobat, to see if can work for both Acrobat and Reader.

Adobe Reader clashing with web browser, problem. Help

Hello,
I've been using Foxit Reader before using Adobe Reader. Now when i'm trying to view pdf files in firefox there is this error showing "The Adobe Reader cannot be used to view pdf files in a web browser". I've tried reinstalling adobe reader but this problem persists. Below is a screenshot of the problem. This might be a bug in the program as i have done the needful and set adobe as the deafult pdf file manager or the web browser might be clashing with this version of adobe reader. I'm not sure why this is happening and would like someone to educate me on this.
Please let me know of any solution to this problem. I'm on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Ritwick

Adobe Reader X cosmetic bug - browser integration scrollbars do not move

There appears to be a cosmetic bug in Adobe Reader X (10.0.0) browser integration. When you open a PDF in a browser window, the scroll bar remains at the top of the window when you scroll the PDF using page up / page down, or the mousewheel. If you mouse over the scroll bar, it moves to the correct place in the PDF.
This bug is consistent across IE 8, Chrome 7.0.517.44, and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12 (running on Windows 7 Enterprise x86).

*PUSH*
Please fix this. Its just ridiculus to provide a plugin like _THE_ Adobe Acrobat Reader and not be able to implement a proper scroll behavior. Come on it can't be _that_ hard .
Thanks

Is there a way to programmatically configure Firefox to use Adobe Reader within the Firefox Browser?

We have customers who are having difficulty saving their PDF files upon opening them from our web page because most of the time, they have "Use Adobe Reader (default)" set under Tools->Options->Applications. This causes the PDF file to be loaded into a standalone version of Adobe Reader where the Save icon is disabled.
We can suggest to our users that they change this to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", which will give them the desired behavior of loading the PDF in a Firefox window with the Acrobat plug-in's Save icon enabled.
However, we'd like to pro-actively change this configuration for our users via javascript if at all possible, so they don't have to go through the trouble of contacting us with the issue.
Is this possible?

I think that the built-in PDF Viewer only gets triggered with a specific MIME type (application/pdf) send by the server.

How to set up Internet Explorer 9 to show pdf in Adobe Reader instead of web browser

Hi,
I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit), Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader IX (v.11.0.00).
I would like to set up Internet Explorer 9 to show pdf-files in Adobe Reader program windows instead of viewing pdf-files within the web browser. Adobe Reader IX doesn't have the setting "Display pdf-files in browser" any longer, earlier versions of Adobe reader did have that setting.

Adobe Reader 8.1 plugin error

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader 8.1 and have even run the patch for 8.1.2 and yet ever time I try to either open Adobe reader or a pdf file, I get an error message saying "Invalid plugin detected, Adobe reader needs to close" and I am unable to read any files at all.
I have Windows Vista and have recently installed Vista Service Pack 1, but the problem occurred both before and after Vista Service Pack 1 was installed. I've searched the forums and knowledgebase and have tried all the possible solutions that have been offered, but so-far nothing has worked.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do in order to resolve the problem? At this point Adobe Reader is completely unusable.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I have the exact same problem running Vista. Has anyone offered a solution?
I uninstalled 8.1 and installed 7.1. It works fine, but I got a message warning of known Vista compatility issues

Distribution MSI for Adobe Flash Player for Plugin Browser

The MSI File provided for distributing Adobe Flash Player for Plugin based browsers (in this case Firefox) is not working when we test in our test environment.
It is working with the Windows XP Clients in the test group however it does not work with the Windows 7 Client Machines. Firefox prompts for a manual download of the adobe flash software. After the manual install of the Software flash player is working but there is a new item in the program catalog. Adobe Flash Player Plugin it's size is 6.00MB. Comparatively the size that is installed by the MSI is 16.xxMB and it doesnt work.
What I have tested
WSUS Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
Client Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
Intercept EXE from Temp Directory and then install after uninstalling MSI - Works
The problem appears to be in the MSI, like I said before it is working for the Windows XP Clients. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Anand,
If you have licensed Flash Player for distribution (which appears to be what you are doing), you should have received an email with the download links for the installers. If you are distributing Flash Player without first licensing it for such, you must apply for a distribution license at Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. Once you do this, you will receive an email with the links to download Flash Player.
Further information on licensing, and distributing Flash Player within your organization is available in the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.

Adobe Reader X (10) plugin issue

Hi,
My plugin is working fine in Adobe Reader 9 but all problem occurs for the newer version.
(1) I don't see my plugin on the toolbar like Adobe Reader 9, is this way Adobe Reader X made or any solution? Currently it is showing as side-panel.
(2) My plugin doesn't work if protected mode is ON. If I switch-off it's working fine but it doesn't show my plugin completely. It has scraped almost half and there is no way to drag it.
(3) Is there any separate certificate required to run my plugin with security mode ON? we already have Adobe Reader certificate which works fine with Adobe Reader 9.
Please help me out or the reference/pointers if any?

1) - yes, this is how it works now. Nothing can write to the application toolbars.
2) - yes, plugins have often to be re-written to allow for Protected Mode. It depends on what it's trying to do.
3) - no, but you have to code allowing for the zero-elevation process model.
As you seem to have a Reader integration key, you should address SDK support questions to the contacts given to you when you registered for it.

Adobe Reader's Internet Plugins for Mac OSX

Every time I upgrade or reinstall Adobe Reader on Mac OSX I have to delete the plugins installed in my library to stop Reader being my default pdf viewer in Safari.
Isn't it time your apps worked like everyone elses and gave the USER the option to select which viewer to use as the default?
It really annoys me that I have to go through this tedious process after all these years just because Adobe hasn't fixed the problem. I am now a little cynical about the company's motivation - I may even think that Reader is so ugly, clunky and resource heavy that it's the only way they can get anyone to use it!
You may say "Why install it?" Because some forms demand Reader to complete the field electronically - otherwise I would.

I'm encountering the same problem on the two computers below. Email attachments will open in the same manner. Attempts to download or open PDFs on the Internet result in a black page with no content or the warning you've noted above.
Macbook pro 15 running 10.8.4
Mac Mini running 10.8.4
I am able to open PDFs on a Mac pro 17 running 10.7.5. I have used airdrop to move the document to one of the above two computers. This results in the original file becoming corrupted and unable to open and the file moved to the other computer will also state that it is corrupted.
There is clearly something amiss in Adobe and Mac working together. (And it is causing considerable frustration at this point.)
I should add, I have the full Adobe PDF product on the Mac Mini.

Adobe Reader Digital Signature Plugin

Hello All,
We had developed a adobe plugin for digital signature through smart card. The plugin works fine for Adobe Professional. I would like to know the procedure how to make it work for Adobe Reader. I found a URL http://www.adobe.com/devnet/reader/ikla.html which says to buy a license. I'm confused over DRM and non-DRM agreement.
To make it clear, our company shall be distributing the smart card and the plugin in the enterprise market for digital signatures that need to work with both Adobe Professional and Adobe Reader. Our customers shall be probably using Adobe reader.
Can any one let me know the procedure to make reader plugin?
Regards,
Madhukar

Hi Gatis,
Check out the Security and Digital Signature Admin Guide athttp://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/52658564/acrobat_reader_security_9x.pdf?v ersion=1
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/52658564/acrobat_reader_security_9x.pdf?v ersion=1
Once you get the file open look at section 5.3.4.4
The folder path has to exist, but Acrobat will create the file if it's missing. For example, if you want to save the file to C:\LogFile\digSigLog.txt the folder LogFile would have to exist on the C drive, but the log file itself will get created if it's not there already.
When you type in the file path and name in the Edit Binary Value dialog in regedit, make sure you null terminate the string by typing a zero at the end of the hex data on the left side of the dialog. It will look like a dot on the right side, but it's not really a dot (a dot is 2E in hex).
