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/

    that is the message how do i correct this problem

    It sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
    If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Safari Adobe Reader Plugin

    My Reader plugin is showing Asian characters (possibly Chinese) in its PDF download window (see below) when I attempt to download a PDF document and I can't get it back to where I can see and save the document.
    I may have accidentally clicked on the wrong part of the window when the banner to open the download appears with the right facing arrow to bring up the permissions drop-down.
    Does anyone know how to reset this back to normal as any attempts to download PDF documents results in this appearing only.
    Regards,
    Wayne

    I don't use FireFox, only Safari and Google Chrome and Chrome works ok when executing the same PDF download and viewing from the same web site so I believe it is a Safari problem with its built in Adobe Reader Plug-In.
    It had been working ok until yesterday when I was using it and may have fumbled the mouse and perhaps clicked in the wrong area of the Safari page when it was downloading the PDF (the dark shaded page where the security strip with white arrow at right hand end requests one to click if you wish to proceed with the download.) and then after that all I get is what is shown in the screen shot I attached.

  • 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 plugin for Firefox - Firefox 17/18 w Reader X/XI unable to view PDF

    Our customers are having to use IE, which is not an option at some sites or roll Reader back to 9.4.5 to view our product.  This issue started happening on 1/8/13.
    No issues opening the PDFs
    Originally installed on Win7
    IE 8, FF11, Acrobat 9.4.5 – Windows updates turned off since 12/1/12
    Installed IE 9, no issues
    Installed FF 18.0.1 no issues
    Issues opening the PDFs
    Installed Reader XI, - kept Acrobat 9.4.5 installed - Unable to open catalogs in FF.

    You don't say what it is about your "product" that is different from a regular PDF. I assume from the screenshot you are using LCDRM, but that in and of itself will not stop Reader XI from displaying the content.
    Are your Firefox users actually using the Adobe Reader plugin? The latest build of Firefox has its own PDF renderer (which can't load LCDRM-protected files) - you need to specify that you want Reader to be the preferred plugin by changing the Firefox config.

  • Adobe Reader plugin in Chrome browser

    After last Google Chrome update (42.0.2311.90) I can not find Adobe Reader plugin.
    I have 2 options now - open PDF in Acrobate Reader or open by Chrome PDF plugin.
    And native Chrome PDF plugin does not submits form data...
    Is it possible to fix this issue and open forms in chrome window by Acrobat Reader plugin?

    Hey Yury_Vitovsky,
    Google has moved out of NPAPI plugin support  not  Adobe, so Google Chromium team will be able to provide you a better answer for it.  And yes it will be working fine with other web browsers like IE, Firefox etc.

  • 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.

  • Deploying Adobe reader plugin not working

    Hi
    I have an adobe reader plugin that works on my development machine. It displayes the toolbar in the "Extended" tab. I copied the .api file onto the plugins folder on another machine but the extended tab does not display. I also copied this onto the plugins folder just to test and this works.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some place where it(adobe reader) logs errors?.

    One of the limitations of plug-ins (in many apps) is that they tend to have to be developed in the same language as the host. Otherwise the cost of converting linkages makes plug-in performance unacceptable; similar to the reason 32-bit apps have 32-bit plug-ins and 64-bit apps have 64-bit plug-ins. Acrobat is written in C/C++, hence so are plug-ins. If Acrobat was ever written in C# (unlikely while it is also on Mac), then no doubt all the plug-ins in existence would need to be rewritten in C#.
    Personally, having developed many and very large Acrobat plug-ins, I don't see that C# would be an advantage. Of course what is popular and what is marketed to developers is not always what is the most practical.

  • Javascript Access to Adobe Reader Plugin

    This is more of a developer question but I thought I would give it a shot because I have yet to find any documentation.
    Does Safari have scripting access to the Adobe Reader plugin?
    The following works in IE because printWithDialog(); function is revealed to IE javascript when a PDF is embeded.
    javascript:
    var thePdf = document.getElementById("printFrame");
    thePdf.printWithDialog();
    embed in the body of the web page:
    <embed height="400" width="370" name="printFrame" id="printFrame" src="theFile.pdf" />
    Can I do something similiar in Safari?
    Thank you,
    -jscott

    Yes it does. It works on the website I support. We do it thru a javascript popwin and it loads in all browsers.

    If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.

  • 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
