Adobe Reader won't print in web browser when both Reader & Pro installed

Several of our machines have Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 installed and they also had Reader 10.1.4 installed but when Reader got upgraded to version 11 now PDFs opened in web browsers will not print.   Seeing as it is fairly common for computers to have both Pro and Reader installed I do not understand why Adobe cannot account for their own products and conflicts.   I was hoping to avoid having to uninstall Reader 11 from the machines affected so I would appreciate if there is anything I can have the users do to remedy this?

Gemini146...
I've ran into many, many, many circumstances like these and if the uninstall from add/remove does not work, what I would recommend is for you to delete the directory c:\program files\adobe and c:\program files\common files\adobe
Then try the installation of what ever version you want. The install should proceed.
If not (which had always been rare for me) then the next step I would advise (since windows installer clean utility didn't work)... is to go into the registry
(regedit) and click on Edit, find
type in: adobe reader
or        adobe
and search the entire registry and delete each entry that it finds associated with Adobe Reader only
Of course, you need to know how to differentiate between what's for Adobe Reader and what's for Adobe Acrobat (granted that you do have Acrobat installed)
Is there risk involved with this method? Yes... but if you know your computer and know your way around the registry, you should be fine.
Also, make a backup of your registry as well as create a Restore Point before doing all this. Just to be on the safe side.
Then proceed with re-installing Adobe Reader and you should be ok.

  • Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser error

    I have a new computer and have Acrobat Pro installed.  When I try to click on PDF links in browsers, I get an error:
    Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in web browser.
    I want to be able to open these links using Acrobat Pro.  What can I do in Internet Explorer so I don't always receive these errors, and so pdfs automatically open using Acrobat Pro?
    Steve

    Because it was not designed for Windows 7 doesn't mean it cant run.
    If you install the applications as administrator, you shouldn't have problems. I have installed both Reader and Pro versions on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit without problems, as long as I did it as administrator. You right click on the setup and select Run as Administrator. You don't need to do it for updates if you go through the update option on the help panel.

  • Adobe PDF won't print non-working time colour in MS Project

    Adobe PDF won't print the colour chosen for non-working times in MS Project.  I have tried changing the colour, changing the style, moving non-working time in front of tasks and have fiddled with the printer properties, all to no avail.  It ignores whatever style I have for non-working time and makes a blank space, although it will take gridline changes . . . . please help!

    Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
    I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations).  I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
    Still had the same behavior:  Reader will not print.  I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either.  I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either.  In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.)  No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
    I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9:  printing works fine now.
    There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments.    (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)

  • Adobe Reader Won't Print (ver. 10 or 11)

    I have a well-maintained Windows 7 32 bit machine running in a VMWare Workstation virtual machine that prints to a network printer via TCP/IP.
    It has worked well for years, including printing PDF's from Adobe Reader 9.
    Some time ago I updated Reader to version 10.  Printing stopped working.  Eventually I uninstalled Reader 10, and re-installed Reader 9, and printing then worked normally.
    I decided to try to update to the latest Reader version 11 (downloaded today) and had the same results:  the installation completed without error, I can open and view documents fine, but printing does not work.
    When I attempt to print from Reader, I see the appropriate dialog boxes, and receive no error messages.  The print job just never makes it to the printer (or the Windows print quque).
    I uninstalled Reader 11, and re-installed Reader 9 once again...and again printing now works fine.
    I guess I will continue to use Reader 9...but I would like to get to the bottom of the printing problem so that I can eventually update Reader.
    FYI the printer in question is a Lexmark C544dn, and I am printing to it via ethernet.  I have alread removed the printer from WIndows, and re-installed with latest drivers (at least twice), with no change:  printing still does not work.
    Any suggestions on causes or possible resolutions?

    Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.

  • Printer has paper, but computer says it is out of paper and won't print from web

    I am having trouble getting the computer to recognize that the printer has paper. The printer will print copies that I put in it, but when I want to print from the web, it won't let me do it; it just tells me that the printer is out of paper. I printed a number of pages from the web yesterday with no problem at all. I have an HP Deskjet F2430.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was trying to print off some material I had looked up on the web. When I saw what I was trying to print was going to be 40 pages, I did not want to continue printing it, and I did not know how to stop the printing, so I just pulled out my paper from the loader thing. I have since put paper back in the loader, but now my printer will not print anything, and says I am out of paper. I have tried and tried to fix this problem, and I really need to be able to print stuff, so I am pretty frustrated with this. I am a senior citizen and will admit that I am not all that astute with tech stuff. I would certainly appreciate some guidance with my problem. Thank you very much.

  • Cannot use Adobe to view pdf in your web browser

    Running Acrobat Standard 8 on a Windows 7 machine with 4 gig of memory.  Upon installing Acrobat 8 on Windows 7 I get a pop-up window everytime I try to open a pdf in a web browser.  Using IE8 and FF 3.5 both give me the same error.
    "Cannot use Adobe Reader to view pdf in your web browser.  Reader will now exit.  Please exit your browser and try again. (attached)"
    Thanks in advance
    Darrell

    I'm having the exact same problem. After clicking OK on the dialogue the pdf file loads just fine.
    Checked the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe key - Acrobat is pointing to the right place. There are no references to acrord32.exe in the registry at all.
    I've removed, reinstalled and installed all the latest patches, but nothing seems to help.

  • HP Printer Won't print in any browser  on my imac g5

    I have been trying to print articles and descriptions of new televisions in safari. It hasn't been working at all on any browser at all. It does prints in Word, Preview, and such. I have tried everything i can think of. But i just can't print anything off the internet. It does begin to print but only blank papers come out when its done.
    The strange thing is that my emac can print off the interent through every browser through the same printer and my imac G5 can't. This is the wierdest thing I have ever seen on a mac i have used macs since thy first came out and even original Apple computers and never has this happened to me.
    The printer is hosted over my Airport extreme. I have tried connecting directly to the imac G5 through usb but the same result happens.
    So if any one can offer and assistance it would be great I really need some right now.
    Thanks MP

    I just purchased a new G5 iMac (PowerPC) with OS 10.4.4 installed. My problem seems to mirror yours, i.e. totally erratic printing of Web pages from Safari. Printing in other apps. seems fine (AppleWorks, etc.). My HP 6100 series printer doesn't have this problem when connected to an iBook OS 10.2.8. I downloaded the most recent software version on the HP website (7.7.2) assuming that there would be a properly functioning driver in this. No dice - still unable to print from Safari. HP online support site was dismissive; worse, I paid HP for tech help which vowed the download would work. The whole experience has been disheartening. Have you been able to get anywhere? Thanks.

  • Some questions about the limit of memory usage of Adobe flash player in different OS & Web Browser

    Hi Adobe experts,
    I'm from HP, and now using Adobe flash player making some products about massive data displaying.
    For my target, I need to show more than 200 K rows in client web browser, using AdvancedDataGrid.
    And that may needs more than 200M to cache the data in Web browser memory space.
    So, my questions are:
    Does there any memory usage limit in flash player?
    Say, if we have 4G bytes of physical memory in machine, in Windows, how much can I use in flash player?
    Also, if we have 4G bytes of physical memory in Linux, how much can I use in flash player?
    Does it depends on the Web Browser?
    Say, is there any difference between different web browsers?
                    If the limit exists, can we control the limit?
    Say, can we define some parameters in the tag in web page to expand the limitation?
    Or, can we try to control this limitation by the Flash player management which exists in the Windows Control Panel?
    Best Regards

    1. Yes. The Toolkit for CreateJS is an extra downloadable extension for Flash CS6. It will publish html and js files that will provide the animation instead of the swf that you would normally publish. The success or failure of the resulting javascript version of your animation is the result of working within the constraints of the toolkit. You are pretty much constrained to using the timeline in Flash for your animations. If you work only in Actionscript, then the output will be very disappointing.
    2. Edge outputs javascript, css, and html to give you an animation. The user interface allows you to design within the constraints of what Edge can do. You can preview and adjust and tweek your animation as you work. Edge is an html5 tool. It can create html5 animation. It is not a replacement for Flash. It is something that you can use instead of Flash to embed animation in html.
    The problems and benefits of each are unique. Neither is a good substitute to learning javascript, css and html5. If you don't understand the code that is created from each of these tools, you can easily end up with huge, bloated, files that perform poorly. I'm very biased toward actually knowing what is going on. If I need to edit something, I want to be able to go into the code and make a change, not add an additional chunk of code to work around what was there. I don't use the timeline at all, and so nothing that I have will publish using CreateJS. Well, it will publish, but nothing happens because there is nothing on the timeline to translate.
    You can download a trial of Flash CS6 and try the Toolkit for yourself. Edge is still in free preview, you can get a copy at http://labs.adobe.com and try it to see how it works.
    Also, if you're not using the Greensock Animation Platform with Flash, have a look at that. It has recently been extended to provide Javascript analogues for most of the Libraries. http://www.greensock.com/

  • My printer won't print the web services informatio​n sheet

    Hi,
    My HP photosmart premium all-in-one printer will not print the web services information sheet.  both eprint and web services are on and it's showing a printer's email address.
    however, when i click 'Print Report' i get a message that it's been requested and may take a moment but nothing happens.
    any ideas?

    Hi Cocklina,
    I would suggest you to turn the printer and the router off and retry.
    If that does not go through.
    Then on the printer under the setting go in to network restore network default.
    Then go back in the network option on the printer select Wireless set up wizard.
    It will give you a list of network, select the one which is yours.
    Then try printing the info sheet for the ePrint.
    Thanks

  • I want reader to open in same web browser

    I recently updated my adobe reader and now when I click on a pdf link in a webpage, it starts adobe and opens the document in a new window when it used to just show it in the same window. How can I switch it back? I have Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and I am using Windows XP Pro with IE version 7.
    Thanks.

    Yes, it briefly shows a download screen and then opens the adobe program and uses that to show the document. Before it would open the pdf file in my browser and I could see the address bar.
