Adobe Reader plugin won't load on Safari for Windows

I have 3 browsers running on Vista so that I can check website compatibility on all 3. Everything looks fine on Safari except that I cannot download and read PDF files (I can with FF3 and IE7). I realized that the Safari (version 4) on Windows that I have doesn't have the Adobe plugin, but every time I try to install it the system tells me that I already have a better version installed (9.1) and won't let me add the Safari browser to the mix. Any suggestions???

Safari isn't supported yet. Want support:

My Adobe Reader Plugin does not Load in Some Machines

Hi ,
I have created a Plugin for Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X.
As per the licence it has to work with both the version.
My plugin gets loaded in Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader X versions only in development machines and few of the testing machines and My plugin works fine in these machine as per the task it has to do.
I tried to test My plugin in some machines which has same configuration as that of the machines where My plugin was able to load, but i could see My plugin loaded only in some machines and all other machine its not getting loaded.
Please some one let me know why is this happening and how to overcome this. I think i am missing something to load My Plugin but in some machines i was able to load My plugin without doing any settings other than copying My plugin's .api file to Reader Plugin's folder.
Thanks in advance. Please some one help me out.

Adobe reader plugin won't display pdfs in Firefox 17.0.1 on mac

Ah, Ok. I didn't know what was triggering the message. That is launching indeed. (I have to ask because many people a week don't know what it means).
This message is the big problem, because it isn't even getting as far as the license agreement.
I found a little discussion of this. It seems rare, especially on a Mac, but here is one person's advice. Worth a try:
The error that you are facing might be due the reason that the user logged in doesn't have permissions to access the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Can you please try the following steps with the user account in which you are facing the error:
1. Remove the Adobe Reader from Applications directory by moving it to Trash.
2. Now delete the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Please note that this path is for the Library folder present inside the user directory that you are currently logged in.
3. Restart the machine.
4. Now re-install Adobe Reader XI.
Tip: In Finder use GO TO FOLDER from the menu and type in "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe" (without the quotes but with the ~)

Acrobat plugin won't load in Safari

Running Snow Leopard. Didn't select using Acrobat plugin when Acrobat first installed. Now I cannot get Safari to recognize acrobat.plugin.
I tried Acrobat:Help:Repair Acrobat installation but that didn't help. Tried deleting Safari plist preference file; no luck.
How do I get Safari to recognize acrobat plugin?

Are you running THe Computer in OSX.6?
If so, are you running the computer in 64 bit mode?
If so, are you Running Safari in 64 bit mode?using 64 bit version?
If so? Then you need to switch Safari to 32bit mode. no plugin designed for 32 bit mode will work in 64 mode.
if all the question are no or your using X.5.8 or lower then try doing Help > Repair installation.
(Please note information is given by an Experienced User of Acrobat. I am not an employee of Adobe.)

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.

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

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.

How to delete old Adobe reader plugin from Safari?

Hi,
I can no longer view pdfs within Safari.
I deleted Adobe reader 7.0 and installed 11. Now Safari does not open embedded pdf's anymore. I suspect Safari is looking for reader 7.0. I think so, because in Safari>prefs>security>Internetplugins there is a list where both versions of reader are visible, the old version seems to be the active one.
I probably better had not deleted Reader 7.0 by hand...
How do I make Safari understand it should use Adobe Reader 11.0?
Thanks,
Wim

Exit Safari.
In Finder > Preferences > Sidebar, under DEVICES, check the top box which will be your assigned computer name. This will make it available to you in an open Finder window.
Open a new Finder window, scroll the left panel down until you see the DEVICES section, and single-click on the name of your computer. The contents of the main Finder window will change and you will see a network globe, and for our focus, a silver icon of a disk drive with your boot drive name — probably Macintosh HD.
Double-click Macintosh HD. Double-click Library. Scroll down until you see Internet Plug-Ins, and double-click that folder. Holding your shift-key down, select the following icons:
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
Now, with both icons selected, right-click to bring up the contextual menu and choose Copy 2 Items. Then, click once on your desktop, press and hold the option key with right-click. This time, you will see Move 2 Items Here. Select this and the plug-ins will be moved to your Desktop.
You now have a choice of default Safari PDF viewing, or if you prefer the Adobe PDF plug-ins, reinstall Adobe Reader 11.0.04 (as of this post date) to reinstate the Acrobat PDF browser plug-ins. Once this is working, drag the Adobe plug-ins on your Desktop to the trash.

Best Adobe reader plugin for Safari or firefox .

Hi Folks.
I am looking for the best plugin available for safari that will give me the functionality of adobe reader when viewing pdf documents using safari.
Am i doing something wrong but i download pdf's to the desktop, i ctrl+click on them and select 'Open With' i navigate to adobe reader and select 'always open with..'
Shouldn't that make Adobe Reader the default app for pdf's and not preview?
Is this functionality carried over to safari, as in what i want to do is when browsing the web with safari, click on a pdf and have it open in reader.
Any help is appreciated.

If you have Adobe Reader installed, then open its preferences and select the option to install the Adobe Reader for Safari (under Internet preferences.)
To have Adobe Reader become the default reader for PDFs simply select any PDF file and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Set the default application to Adobe Reader then click on the Change All button.

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.

Pictures won't load in Safari, or any other browser

I have an intermittent problem where internet pictures won't load. This seems to happen mostly on social networking or picture intensive sites. I've particularly had trouble with myspace, livejournal, facebook, flickr, okcupid, etc., but it is not limited to those sites. Sometimes pics won't load in Safari but will load in firefox. Sometimes the other way around. Sometimes neither of those browsers will work, and neither will opera, explorer, etc. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm connected by airport or ethernet. I Know it is not my internet connection because I have a PC on the same network that never has this problem. When I travel with my macbook, the problem comes with me.
I am currently running 10.5.2 on a 2 GHZ macbook. Previously, I had this exact same problem on a 550 MHZ Titanium Powerbook G4 running 10.4. I used to think it was just my old slow computer, but when I upgraded computers I transferred all my files and settings with the migration assistant, and the problem seems to have followed.
Things I have tried:
1. Making a new user account. I added a new account but did not delete my old one or do a clean install. This did not work.
2. Using a new DNS server. No dice.
Any suggestions?

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
