Adobe Reader plugin on Intel iMac... menu bar gone when viewing pdf?!?!?

I had Adobe Reader 7.0.5 on my iMac G5 and when I clicked on a pdf file, it opened in a new window with a menu bar at the top. Since migrating to my Intel iMac yesterday, the menu bar is gone though pdf pages display... just with blank space where the menu used to be. I downloaded v7.0.8 and installed and the same problem. I have the prefs set to view pdf files in Safari and, again, they view... just no menu bar! Any idea how to fix this?

As far as I know, Adobe Reader (even v7.0.8) isn't Universal yet, which means it [the plugin] probably won't run natively on your Intel iMac unless you run Safari under Rosetta.

    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 10.0.1 hides menu bar when display image is enlarged

    I am running an HP Pavilion Elite HPE 400y connected via HDMI through a Sony Receiver into a SamSung XL-2370 LED Monitor.  On the HP I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  When I go to Control Panel / All Control Panel Items / Display and set the screen display size to Medium (125%), Adobe Reader 10.0.1 moves the top of the document being displayed upward to hide most of the menu bar.  Also, the tools bar is usually unstable.  I can't use any of the menu because mouse clicks in the narrow portion of the menu bar that is exposed are ignored.  To shut down Adobe Reader I must start the Windows Task Manager with CTRL-ALT-DELETE and then knock it down because the X on the upper right of the menu bar is hidden.  When I set the screen display size to Smaller (100%), which is the usual setting, everything works fine.  I like using the larger image size (older eyes), but I can live with the normal size.  Unfortunately, to change the Windows image size you must log off your session, so it's not something I like to do more often than necessary.
    This appears to be a problem with Adobe Reader 10.0.1 not adjusting properly with the larger image size.  God knows what it would do if I used the Larger (150%) setting.  Maybe there aren't any old people at Adobe who need a larger image.  Otherwise, I'm sure it would have been noticed by now.

  • Adobe Reader XI - Force menu to display when viewing PDF

    Hello,
    We run adobe reader XI in a citrix xenapp deployment.  With older versions of adobe, users would open a PDF and the top menu bar would be displayed which would allow them to print fairly easily.
    With the newer XI version, that menu does not show up unless you press F8.  So users are forced to either press F8 to bring up the menu, or right click within the document and select print that way.
    Is there a preferences setting, or a registry key change that could be made to force this menu to come up every time?  I took a look around and didn't notice anything that stood out.
    Thanks for any assistance.

    We ended up finding a registry key which forces this menu to come up each time:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral]
    “bBrowserDisplayInReadMode”=dword:00000000

  • 20" Intel iMac - DISPLAY LOOKS YELLOWISH WHEN VIEWED FROM AN ANGLE?

    Just got a brand new 20" iMac and the display looks great when looking at it 'straight on', however when viewing the display from an angle (and just a slight angle) all of the white and lighter colors in a photo change to an annoying 'yellowish' color...go figure?
    Is this normal or ???
    Are there any settings to adjust in the System Preferences / Display?

    Thanks George for the link...
    Wow...little did I know about the dreaded viewing angle of a TN display. In fact, I went to an Apple Store yesterday and checked out several 20" and 24" iMacs and every 20" iMac had the viewing angle problem while the 24" iMacs showed no signs of this issue.
    I plan to return the 20" unit and upgrade to the 24" iMac...thank goodness for the 14 day return policy, however with the 10% restocking fee...ugh!

  • Adobe Reader plugin :This sentence "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

    This sentence (in french version) "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all, mainly bigger than 1Mo) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

    You mention Thunderbird, has the PDF file been emailed to you? If it has this support page from Adobe may help - http://www.adobe.com/fr/support/toptech/acrobat/319294/

  • How to highlight a text in Adobe reader plugin uisng code?

  • Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox 3

    Has anyone else been having problems reading some pdfs using the Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox 3?
    For several months this often (but not always) happens:
    I follow a link to a .pdf, a new window opens with a blue progress bar in the middle.
    It gets to 100%, but then nothing happens, it just sits there with the progress bar full and "Done" in the status bar.
    Interestingly,  I also have the "IE Tab" extension installed and if I click on the icon  to change the browser engine, the page reloads (with a slightly  different progress bar that includes a counter for the file size) and  the document is always displayed correctly when the download is  completed.
    the Adobe Acrobat plug-in is v10.1.0.534.

    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    You'll find previous versions there as well as the latest builds, but I honestly don't see why you'd not like 4.0. After all, this is Firefox we're talking about not IE, which seems to only get worse with each new release.

  • Adobe Reader crashes on new iMac

    I have just migrated from a PPC mini to a mid-2011 21.5inch iMac running Snow Leopard.  All is well, except Adobe Reader X (or AR 9) crashes on launch every time.  Also, the Adobe Reader plugin will crash Safari every time it tries to display a pdf file on a webpage.
    Any idea as to what the problem could be?  I add that Acrobat 6.0 Standard installs and performs just fine.  But not Reader - I tried Reader 9 also (same result, brings up the user agreement and then crashes.
    Any thoughts appreciated!
    Andrew

    Adobe Reader 11.0.06 installed and worked fine on my Mavericks 10.9.1. You should not have an open Safari browser during the actual install.
    Have you used Disk Utility to verify/repair your file permissions?

  • 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

    Nothing to do with the download; you need to open Adobe Reader once after the install is complete, and accept the EULA.
