Adobe reader missing plug-ins

Having read that Adobe Flash had been hacked two days ago I "uninstalled" everything I could find in Finder to do with Adobe to try to clean up my IMac and start fresh when I upgraded to Mountain Lion on August 26. Then re-downloaded Adobe Reader. Now some of my documents won't open because it states: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." If I go back in Time Machine to before I did the uninstall will this allow the files to be displayed in the original, undamaged format? Also, if I go back in Time Machine will I lose my emails, documents and other data since that date? (two days ago) System Preferences still shows Adobe Flash in the "Other" section along with Flip4Mac and Perian even though I tried to delete Flash Player from here.
The second issue is that when I go to Charlie Rose it states "Blocked Plugin" . Additionaly, I am unable to open movies and clips that come to me via email due to the same message. Is this a security feature of Mountain Lion or have I removed necessary plugins?
Thanks for any help.

The Flash Player icon still appears in SYSTEM PREFERENCES pane marked "OTHER". When I view the tabs (Advanced tab specifically) it shows that Plug-in version 11.3.300.257 in installed. HOWEVER, since I can not find any program named Adobe Flash anywhere else including under Applications or Devices it appears that I must have successfully uninstalled Flash. If this is correct, why does the icon still appear in System Preferences? If this indicates that it is not uninstalled then I am back to the problem of how to do it and that is not addressed in the article referred to above since I don't have either the application or the device to uninstall.
Meanwhile any help regarding the Adobe Reader issue would be welcome.
Thanks.

Adobe reader "missing plug-in"

Since upgrading (downgrading?) to Lion, several places where pages previously would load and appear no longer do so, but instead greet me with "missing plug-in". When I check to see which plug-in is indeed missing, I'm told "To view this content, I need Adobe Reader" and instructs me to go to Adobe to get the plug-in. After downloading and installing Reader, I still get this message. I must confess I'm not well versed in the world of Mac commands so any assistance would be appreciated. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Adobe Reader XI plug-ins for IE8

I am updated to Adobe Reader XI 11.0.02 according to "Help/About Adobe Reader XI," and my "Add or Remove programs" on XP- SP3 says 11.0.02. Also, my plug-in for Chrome says 11.0.02. But, my IE8 plug-ins still say 11.0.01.36 for Adobe PDF Reader and 11.0.0.379 for Adobe PDF Link Helper. I uninstalled reader and reinstalled and still the same thing. Why won't the IE8 Reader plug-ins update?
Thanks.

I see the same in IE10; maybe the IE add-on was not updated (i.e. not affected by the security fixes that went into 11.0.1 & 11.0.2)?

Adobe Reader XI - plug-ins

I cannot get my plugin(api) to show up in the tools menu, it works in the previous versions on Adobe Reader.
Do I need to get my plug-in certified to work?

Adobe Reader XI is not yet available to the public. If you are using a prerelease copy you must only discuss issues within the program, not on a public forum.

Hey Joseph Curcio,
You might be viewing the PDFs in your browser only where Adobe Reader plug-in is disabled.
Please try opening the PDF file using Adobe Reader and then check.
Let me know in which browser are you trying to view the PDFs so that I can help you out enabling the required plug-ins.

Missing plug-ins after downloading adobe flash player 11.2.202.235

Hello again:
I sent a request the other day for help regarding my downloading Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.235 and losing the ability to play my games( they were bookmarked from the web) because of missing plug- ins. I mentioned that I know very little about this computer. I did get a reply saying that he needed more information about my computer which I sent and I have not heard anything back. I probably did not send the message correctly therefore I am sending the info again and I hope I don't screw it up this time. My computer is as follows:
iMac4,1 Version 10.6.8
Intel core duo
2GHz
# of processors 1
Total # of Cores 2
L2 Cache 2MB
Memory 1.5GB
Bus Speed 667 MHZ DDR2SDRAM
BootRom Version 1M41.0055.B08
SMC Version(system) 1.1F5
I hope you can help me in the simplest way possible so I can understand your instructions.
Thanks again,
Margaret

It's confusing when a single poster starts two threads on the same topic and it divides the replies or has duplicate replies for those that are unware of the other thread. You should post the above in the thread you originally started after my post which asked for some clearification on the problem.

Adobe flash player will not install. When asked to install missing plug ins, nothing comes up.

I go to install adobe flash player and nothing comes up. Firefox says I need to install missing plug ins, but when I go to install the missing plug ins, nothing comes up. Says something about doing it manually. I don't know what that is.

You can download the manual installers and run them to install Flash. Details are shown in the Adobe troubleshooting guide - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

Missing plug-ins help? CS5 Adobe InDesign

I'm trying to open an .indd file on an InDesign training cd and it says missing plug-ins conditional text.rpln, worldready.rpln, and dynamicdocument.rpln. (I think the version of InDesign I have may be a trial version). Where can I get these or what can I do???? I'm running Mac 10.6.7. Thanks

What you have is a version mismatch. ThAT's the kind of message you receive when trying to open a file saved in a newer version than the one you are using.
On window, go the help menu and press the Ctrl key while selecting About InDesign. On Mac it's under the InDesign menu, and you need to hold the Cmd key. This will open a detailed "about" dialog with the full version and build inthe upper left corner. What is it? What version is th training disk labeled for?

Unable to open documents because of missing plug ins

I am unable to open documents in CS3 (version 5.04)
I am getting a message:"Missing Plug Ins: Conditional Text.InDesignPlugIn, WorldReady.InDesignPlugin.
The document "xxxxx.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"
If I click on OK I get another window, stating "Cannot Open File", a list of all kind of missing Plugins and the message "Cannot open "xxxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
I don't want to switch to CS4 and as far as I know version 5.04 of CS3 is the latest.
Any ideas of what I could do to get the latest PlugINs or anything else that would help?
Thank you!
Anne

Probably, but it's 100% not necessary when going from CS4 to CS3. It might be a case of 'half read, then half-understood'.
As this is a really frequent question and there are still no sticky posts: anyone up for a "feature request" that makes InDesign check the version number before opening? (Of course that wouldn't work backwards to CS3. Still, it'd avoid these kind of posts when CS6 comes out. Note: not CS5, because that would have no problems opening CS4, but CS4 would have problems with Cs5! Oh, for planning ahead ... )

PDF files won't display. Error message "Missing Plug-ins"

Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine. Just in the past 2 days is the check plug-ins test saying Adobe reader is not installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but still saying it is not installed. I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine. When I try to view a websites brochure, a websites sale paper, or maybe open up an article, the page pops up but the image won't display. It keeps saying "missing Plug-ins". I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail. None of them worked. I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email. I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app. HELP!!

Suddenly getting "Missing Plug-Ins" errors when opening .indd files in InDesign CS2

I have a PC running Windows 7 and InDesign CS2. The laptop's installation of Windows was corrupted and I had to re-install the OS. I backed up all files, reinstalled the OS, and then reinstalled applications. One of those applications was InDesign CS2. However, after the installation of CS2 on the fresh copy of Windows, I noticed that I have trouble opening most, but not all, of the InDesign files on my hard drive.
When I try to open a .indd file I see an error message pop up that says "Missing Plug-ins. LILO.APLN, DYNAMICDOCUMENTS.RPLN, CONDITIONALTEXT.RPLN" and three more. Under that list of missing plugins is the warning "This document uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?" If I click "okay" I then am met with another dialog box that says "Cannot open file. TEXT.RPLN, LAYER.RPLN" and on and on for about 60 more items.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I've searched around concerning this issue and it appears the consensus is that the file was opened by a newer version of InDesign. That possibility is, in fact, an impossibility. Never have I used a newer version of InDesign. The files that I am working on were backed up, stored on local storage and not touched once before reinstalling the OS and reinstalling InDesign CS2.
I also noticed that not all InDesign file formats were associated with InDesign in "Windows Programs and Defaults." I changed those to look to InDesign. I've also uninstalled InDesign CS2 and re-installed.
Not all InDesign CS2 files are exhibiting this behavior. So far, it appears more than half are, but some can be opened with no problems. There seems to be no correlation between which ones are able to be opened and which ones can't be opened.
What could have happened to these files and is there any possibility of opened them again? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Conditional Text was a new feature in CS4. I'm thinking, can you explain how your old CS2 documents became aware of it?
Not exactly sure myself. Abiogenesis?
[Edit]
Almost forgot. I wrote a script to unequivocally determine the InDesign version a document was last saved as:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273
I'll give that a try today. Even an affirmative judgement that the files are newer than CS2 would not impress me however. The fact remains, the files were copied off one hard drive over to another, the plug was pulled on the hard drive, the PC was re-imaged, CS2 was reinstalled, the files were copied back over... and whammo.

InDesign Reinstallation Missing Plug-ins

Hi, all,
Apple recently replaced the hard drive in my MacBook Pro.
I reinstalled all my Adobe CS2 Creative Suite Software
(from disks) and now can open none of the CS2 InDesign files
I created prior to the hard drive replacement because of various
missing plug-ins. The InDesign error message lists missing
LILO.InDesignplugin and CellStyles.rpin.InDesignplugin
as the culprits.
Adobe told me this is due to a faulty reinstallation. So I de-installed
and then reinstalled the whole creative suite. The problem persists.
Apple says it's Adobe's fault, not theirs. Adobe now says they can't
support me because they only offer support for CS3 and CS4.
They've referred me to the collective wisdom of the forum.
Can anyone help? Do I need to configure some plug-ins? Import
some plug-ins? Where do they come from?
Thanks.

Hmm. I created all the files using my own software on my own laptop. If they were created in an updated version of CS2 would this error occur? I tried updating CS2 but that hasn't helped either, problem remains. I did install a trial copy of CS4 I downloaded and can open the files there...but I'll have to buy it.

Illustrator 6 missing plug-ins, won't open new files

I was initially getting an error message when attempting to open Illustrator 6 on my Mac (running 10.6.8). An unknown error has occurred (4294967253). Adobe Illustrator will now quit. I read a post where the user was to select shift+option+command right after booting up. When I did that, a dialog box popped up asking if I'd like to participate in submitting feedback to Adobe and asked for my profession, location, industry, etc. It then attempted to open a new file but gave the following error: The document 'Print.ai' contains elements that are managed by plug-ins that are not currently available. You can delete or expand these elements but you cannot manipulate them in other ways. The missing plug-ins are listed below. Stroke Offset Live Effect (StrokeOffset.aip). I can open an existing file, but no tools are available to edit with and I get additional errors regarding missing plug-ins. My Mac has also been running a bit slow lately as well...not sure if the two issues are connected, but I'm willing to try anything to meet an impending deadline. I have plenty of space remaining on my computer, so that can't be it.

The exact same thing just happened to me.
Then comes another error message ( see below ).
& it doesn't like it when I replace the image (which is a TIFF by the way).

InDesign file won't open, missing plug-ins

Anyone ever seen this error message when trying to open an Adobe InDesign file?
Missing plug-ins:
worldready.rpln
dynamicdocuments.rpln
conditionaltext.rpln
sharedcontent.rpln
I am using a PC with CS6, but also tried another PC with CS3. Same issue with various backups of the files.
The files seem to all be older than 2012, and appear to not have a program associated with them (appear as white icons, not typical color) even though they say InDesign, INDD file when you mouse over them.
Thanks in advance.

Missing plug-ins, BRS Pencil Tool ExpandS

When I launch Illustrator after instalation, I get this message "missing plug-ins, BRS Pencil Tool ExpandS". I searched about it and found these http://forums.adobe.com/message/3079536?tstart=0, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331889.html#products, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html, but nothing helped. I tried the solutions offered at these threads, but in vain. Does anybody have an idea about this? Thanx a lot.

This happens in Windows XP. In Windows 7 (I tried it) installs with no problem.
