Adobe Reader X - plugin problem

I installed version X a week or two ago, and didn't notice any problems until today, when I tried to download some on-line coupons from a French site 'CroquonslaVie'. When I came to click on the 'print' link, I got a message (top of screen) saying that additional plugins were necessary to show all elements on the page. I authorised the installation, but my computer, having run a check, told me that no appropriate plugins were available. Then I still couldn't print out the coupons. Am I right in thinking this is a version X problem? Can someone tell me what I can do to put it right? My computer is French, and the above website is French, but I have rung them and they tell me it is an Adobe problem.
If this website has a problem with Adobe, perhaps others do, as well!
Thankyou.

I too have an issue and I think it's plugin related also. I can't seem to open a streamed pdf in my browser. It works fine in firefox but doesn't work in IE6, IE7 or IE8.
I checked the plugins in the Adobe folder and everything is on version 10.
Has anybody got any ideas on this?

Adobe Reader Browser Plugin - How to disable right click print

Here is some background to my question
I'm using Adobe Reader 9.2 and have configured to use the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin.
which has the effect of launching pdf's within the IE browser rather than launching the full client. This is all working fine
I have a requirement that I need to lockdown certain menu items (for the purpose of this example, lets say "SaveAs" and "Print") and toolbars which I have also done successfully using folder level javascripts. For example I have created a HideMenuItems.js file and placed this in the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts", here is a snippet of the file which relate to hiding / removing the SaveAs and Print items
app.hideToolbarButton("Print");
app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
app.hideToolbarButton("Save");
These work fine and hide the Print and Save toolbar buttons from the Adobe Reader Browser plugin menu.
As an aside If I wanted to hide the same icons from the full adobe reader client I could use app.hideMenuItem("Print");
So this all works fine and I'm happy so far. Now, with these settings in place I launch the pdf within the browser, although save and print buttons are now hidden and I cannot add them back, I can still RightClick anywhere in the pdf and get the context menu, from there I can select print.
What I'm after is a way to either
(i) Selectively remove menu items from the right click context menu, and therefore remove the print option e.g something like app.[hideRightClickMenuItem]("Print") would be great but I dont know what that method is called.
or
(ii) Disable the RightClick context menu altogether for Adobe Reader Browser Plugin
Not bothered what the solution is whether its a reg hack - HKCU / HKLM / or javascript line I can add to my HideMenuItems.js, But basically I want to lock down the ability for the users to select print button from all sources including "CTRL + P",
Or if this is not possible let them hit CTRL P or right click print, but then not display the Adobe Print Dialog.
Basically the printing of the documents in handled by our web app sending a silent print to the adobe application which again works fine, I just need to prevent the users from being able to initiate a print from within the pdf when displaying the pdf in a browser.
Having searched around there is an API called AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks which is supposed to prevent right clicks, But I dont know how to use this, or whether it can be used within my HideMenuItems.js file, tried many different syntaxes but to no avail.
Does anyone have any experience in this? Adobe - do you have any suggestions ?
Cheers
Will

Hi thanks for your response, yes it seems this API is availalbe but there are no examples of how to use it. You mentioned its available in Adobe reader and Adobe Acrobat plugins. Well I'm using the Adobe Reader Active X Browser Plugin so how would I use this API to restrict the Browser plugin.l
I am not a developer writing my own custom plugins, I simply want to use the out of the box adobe reader product, specifically the Active X browser plugin, but I need to be able to customise and restrict what the user is able to do.
The reason I need to do this is that we publish IE on a citrix server which users access to launch this highly secure web based application. The sensitive data that they view is in the forms of PDFs which are viewed by the Adobe reader browser plugin within the browser. The web application controls who can save, export, print etc, so I need to be able to lock down the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin so that the user cannot initiate save, and print functionality from within the viewed pdf. I've done this successfully by restricting the menu and toolbar items but it is still possible to right click on the viewed pdf and click select print from the context menu. This would cause us a big security flaw, which would result in users that are only supposed to view being able to click print.
I published a desktop (locked down) and published IE (locked down) all successfully with GPOs so the users cannot do anything they are not supposed to do, however Adobe reader it seems cannot be easily locked down and this is a problem as I might have to start looking at viable alterantives. Surely a simple requirement as this could be acheieved with relative ease.
In an ideal world there would be an available GPO template (.ADM file), which could be used to centrally manage these type of settings. I dont even mind writing an ADM myself, I've written many before, but for example what I need is the appropriate registry entries and how they are used to lock down / restrict certain functions so that I can write such an .ADM file.
I dont mind how I achieve this, I just need a way to do it. So if using the API AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks would achieve this, can someone please tell me how I can implement something that would use this API to restrict the right Click Print options for example.
The sort of answer I;m looking for would be
Create a file, paste in this code, place the file is this location xxxxx, this is a per machine fix so will affect all users
or
Edit the regstry and make this HKCU change xxxxx - This is obviously a per user fix so use normal methods to get this into every users profile.
or
Open up the file in this location xxxxxx and add AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks = AlwaysDisable (or whatever the syntax is)
Thanks for you help
Cheers

Adobe Reader Firefox Plugin

I am running Fedora 8 (kernel 2.6.23.9) with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 on a Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of ram. When I use the Firefox browser (2.0.0.10) to read a PDF document, a process named acroread is started. I assume this is done by the Adobe Reader Firefox plugin. After you leave the document the acroread process begins to use 40-60 percent of the CPU and never ends. Exiting the browser does not stop the acroread process. It continues to run away. After a couple of attempts the kill command will end this acroread process. At one time I had four of these runaway processes running at once. I assume that every time I entered a PDF document in the browser it starts a new acroread process. This problem does not happen when you use the Adobe Reader outside of the browser on local PDF files. Is there something I can collect to help solve this problem? Is this a known problem?

Experiencing same memory leak problem on Fedora 8 Kernel 2.6.24.3-34 x86_64, glibc 2.7-2,
with FireFox 2.0.0.08, 2.0.0.10, 2.0.0.12, and 2.0.0.13
and AdobeReader 8.1.1 and 8.1.2
b Observations when running any version of FireFox:
*1-when reading a pdf file, System Monitor displays a new process called "ld-linux.so.2";
*2-when getting off the pdf file, process "ld-linux.so.2" remains active;
*3-when reading a new pdf file, another "ld-linux.so.2" is started;
*4-when closing FireFox, one or several "ld-linux.so.2" processes remain active and become runaway processes;
*5-these "ld-linux.so.2" runaway processes eat-up about 1MB per second until system freezes.
b Another observation:
*When starting Adobe Reader, System Monitor does not display "acroread", it displays "ld-linux.so.2"
Adobe Reader launcher uses a script called "acroread"; this script launches the binary either directly
or through "/lib/ld-linux.so.2".
b Further observations:
*1-In FireFox, when Adobe Reader is launched through "/lib/ld-linux.so.2", it becomes a runaway process.
*2-On the other hand, when Adobe Reader is launched directly,
]-System Monitor displays "acroread"
]-acroread always terminates as it supposed to do.
b Solutions:
* 1-add a symbolic link as follows:
]ln -s ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
*2-or install Package redhat-lsb as follows:
]yum install redhat-lsb
b Conclusion:
It appears that "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" is not handling the "term signal" received from FireFox when exiting a pdf page. When Adobe Reader is started directly, it does handle the "term signal" received from FireFox and terminates correctly.
b Outstanding Question:
Is "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" supposed to handle the "term signal"? If so, this is where the bug is because it does not. If not, why is it used to launch Adobe Reader?
Home my many hours of investigations can help someone.
b Note
Sorry. Problem is NOT entirely solved here! Still some memory leaks at times.

Enabling the Adobe Reader X plugin from Virtualized Browsers

I think I have this one figured out. From virtualized web browsers, I have never been able to use the Adobe Reader X plugin. The Virtual app would start to load any pdf and then crash with a message about a corrupt sandbox (ZAV application sandbox). This would happen if Adobe reader was installed on the machine or virtualized as a shared component. This may be because ARX runs out of its own sandbox. I have now got this working, I will do some testing from some other Browsers.
Application = Virtualized IE8 Configured from a recipe using ZAV 9
Fix = add the following to the "Child Process exception list"
Acropdf.dll; Acroiehelper.dll; Gbdetect.dll; and Pdfshell.dll
Virtual IE8 can now display PDF's using the web plugin. I will test with firefox and report back.

I had a chance to build this into a virtual Firefox, here are the results.
App = Firefox 12 build from snapshot with the latest flash built into the snapshot.
Test Machines all had different versions of ARX installed.
Child Process Exception List = Acropdf.dll; Acroiehelper.dll; Gbdetect.dll; and Pdfshell.dll + AcroRd32.exe < Would not work with only the dll's in there
Outcome, this does work, I have seen it load the plugin, load full adobe in the browser or just directly hand the pdf over to adobe application. I have had limited testing with this though. Any updates an I will post them.

Installation How-to for minimal/small footprint Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin

I need to install Adobe Reader & Firefox Plugin in a small Linux based environment.
As a proof-of-concept, I downloaded and installed the AdbeRdr9.4.7-1_i486linux_enu.bin
to an NFS share mounted to the Linux thinclient. That worked -- eg, the plugin was available
to the browser so the OS will support that build. However, the client does not have much
writable 'disk' space available and using any type of share (NFS/Samba) is not an option in
the production environment.
I need to use the plugin from within Firefox (6.0+) and have to be able to print via CUPS.
DIsk space available is less than 50Mb, preferrably a lot less!
Is there a guide available for a mimimal installation?
Any sugguestions as to what files/directories I have to copy to the local filesystem for
* an absolute minimum ?
* a bit more if there's room?
Suggestions / pointers appreciated..
Tom

First - what version of Adobe Reader do you have?
And now it gets a little bit complicated. Adobe Reader can be a plugin to Internet Explorer, and it crashes when you try to open an online PDF document. That is not unknown; it happens sometimes.
But when you open the standalone Adobe Reader, it also crashes with a plugin error. This time it must be a plugin to Adobe Reader, not Internet Explorer.
Furthermore you write "the same plugin error window pops up" - so I can only assume that it is a Reader plugin that crashes, not the IE plugin.
What I would try in your situation:
open Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Adobe Reader;
open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader and delete all plugin... folders;
reinstall Adobe Reader from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe
The path in the second line above could also be ...\Reader 8.0\... depending on your Reader version.

Pdf display problem in Adobe Reader (NOT plugin)

I looked around and found a lot of people having problems with the .pdf plugin inside Safari... that is NOT my problem... just to get it out of the way...
I have .pdf files on my iMac, files in which I work, like forms. They are standalone and have nothing to do with the web.
They have been created a while ago (couldn't say which version, but I'd say at least 5 years ago). Except, the problem isn't that the files are too old for the new versions... I am currently using those files without any problem with version 9 on my Macbook (Snow Leopard), while on the iMac (ML) I have the exact same problem no matter which version I try : version 9, version X or XI !!!
What happens is this : I open a file (form-type) and I have pale blue covering every field except the one my cursor is in... and most of the fields are flashing... flashing between that blue and the usual color, and entries/nothing.
Say a field is usually pink with a time in it, it will flash between blue and pink, and the time will appear and disappear, on and off... seemingly forever...
I just checked a file I had which is mostly text (an e-book) but with a few note-fields... these were also blue... but nothing was flashing.
It seems it's the "interactive" fields that are acting weird.
Since the problem is the same no matter the Adobe Reader version and only on my Mountain Lion computer, it seems it has to do with Mac OSX 10.8 but is there a solution? Has anyone else encountered this?

After so many hours of searching, I finally found both culprits!!!
A) the blue: It was stupid of me, really... it was simply that the "highlight existing fields" was selected (right top corner, usually). Once I de-selected it, all the blue went away... but data continued to disappear except when a box was selected. See B...
B) Do NOT, Never ever, use Preview to make changes in a .pdf file and then save the file... That was the problem!
It must've happened a few times, for example it just did this morning, on my new laptop on which I hadn't set Adobe to be my default program for .pdf and the file opened in Preview... I didn't even notice...
And after searching some more I found a few threads and all had in common that people had used Preview to make changes and save the file... seems that Preview corrupts the files!
By the way, Eric, no, opening in Preview did NOT give the same results... but files I opened that had never been opened (or, at least, not tempered with) in Preview were all fine...
Thanks for your help though!

Can't remove adobe reader x--plugin for container problem message?

Adobe reader x installed but doesn't function. Tried to uninstall and this message appears.

Firefox has a side program called plugin-container.exe. Maybe the error indicates that plugin-container.exe is still running?? If exiting Firefox does not let you uninstall Adobe Reader X, you might try restarting Windows and going straight to the uninstall without restarting Firefox.

IRS forms Adobe Reader JavaScript plugin missing.

I have tried several times to print and/or use the IRS Income Tax forms located at IRS.gov I get the form but my access to use it appears block or otherwise unavailable due to a missing Java plugin. I am here because the error message referred my to Adobe as a possible solution. Anyone else had this problem and/or where am I able to get a program or correction to let me use these forms.

This is where is gets confusing to me. I have about 3 versions of the Reader on the computer starting at about 6 to 8.0. I have tried to download and install 8.1.2 and I get the error message 1714 "Older version of Adobe Reader 8.1.2 can not be removed. Contact your tech support."
This is a free version and has no tech support.

Adobe Reader, Telnet Hyperlink Problem

Hi, I met a telnet Hyperlink Problem in Adobe Reader.
When click the Hyperlink (like telnet://a.b.c.d), Adobe reader gives me a Alert:
Acrobat does not allow connection to: telnet://a.b.c.d
And I also need to open this telnet hyperlink in web browser with Adobe reader plugin.
Would you please give me some help?

Acrobat and Adobe Reader recently closed off access to custom protocols. Telnet is a standard protocol, but I can't see Adobe leaving it working.

Adobe Reader IE plugin (11.0.04 - .06) is automatically deleted after first restart

Hi all
I have discovered a strange bug (as I like to call it). Since Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 (now we have 11.0.06) there is problem with IE plugin.
When I install it - everything is working and from IE I can succesfully open pdf files. But when I restart computer after Adobe Reader installation, all plugin files are missing (like they are automatically deleted) from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX folder. And ofcourse IE plugin is not working any more.
Workaround is when AFTER first computer restart I manually copy all plugin files to that folder or repair Adobe Reader installation - then files are not being deleted any more. As I said, it is very strange problem.
However this workaround is not acceptable to me because I have lots of computers where I need this software to be installed.
Have anybody seen this problem and know how to fix this? Other browser (firefox, chrome) plugins are working correctly after fist restart. This problem is with Windows 8.1 / IE11 and Windows 7 / IE9
In Adobe Reader version 11.0.03 everything is working and after first restart plugin is not being automatically deleted.

Hi
No, it's not an antivirus software, because same thing happens in clean windows 7 system (without any antivirus or other specific software). And like I said, it started with version 11.0.04 - earlier versions are OK.
Also not only IE plugin files are gone after first restart but also Adobe Reader shortcut in Start Menu. Adobe Reader itself is working.
After first restart and repairing Adobe Reader installation - these files are not being deleted any more. It is not helping if I do repair after installation and before first restart. The thing is, only first restart after installation always deletes these files.
I looked everywhere in Windows (registry, startup, scheduled tasks) where might be some clue what is deleteing these files - didn't find anything.

Adobe Reader X creates problems w/coldfusion pdf forms

Ever since I upgraded to Adobe Reader X, I can not open any of my odf forms on my webapp. these forms were designed with Acrobat Pro 8.0 and are prepopulated by coldfusion server. When I browse to one since upgrade, I get the following message:
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade
to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Obviously, I have the latest version and Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 9 readers both worked. Is there an easy work around or a way to get rid of Acrobat X and go back?

Could you please try turning off reader X protected mode and check if you continue to see the problem?
You could turn off protected mode using following steps:
1. Launch Reader X and select Edit->Preferences...
2. Select General from left navigation
3. Under application startup uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at Startup"
Note: You should switch "ON" protected mode after verifying the problem. Purpose of Reader X Protected Mode is to keep your system safe from PDF based exploits and keeping protected mode OFF will leave your system vulnerable.

Adobe Reader is causing problems in Windows 7

Good morning all,
I have been doing some digging on this one and have had no joy so far. We are deploying Windows 7 in our office and I have one user, and only one who is having problems.
They had Adobe Reader X installed and they began to have problems with it after they were upgraded to WIN 7. When they went to print a PDF it started to lock their PC for 3-5 minutes after which they were able to continue with their work.
This behavior is internmittent in that it does not happen with every PDF and typically only happens once a day. Some times it is the first PDF of the day, sometimes in the middle of the day, but once it happens it does not happen again in the same day. Sometimes the user does not experience the problem for several days. We have been unsuccessful in determining any pattern or any particular in which this users machine is environmentally different from any other users machine.
No other users are experiencing this problem.
The user has a laptop and shuts it down to take home each night and starts the box fresh in the office each day.
Lately this behavior has extended to when the user just opens a PDF. Their laptop will freeze for 3-5 minutes and then they can continue with their work.
Based upon a very few articles we have found on the subject, we have tried a couple of things without success:
We have tried clearing the Adobe Reader cache
We have uninstalled Reader X and replaced it with Reader 9x
We are hoping that someone out there who has seen something like this before and can suggest some environmental or proceedural thing that we have missed. This one is driving us crazy.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Steve
