AdobePDFViewer cannot find a compatible Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to ..

Safari gets stummped when trying to open PDF files posted on some bank and financial sites. Instead, a dialog box / file browser box is opened which requests one to navigate to the reader. This even tho your reader is right there, visible in dialog box (* the 'Acrobat Reader 9' folder is in std font, but the app in folder, 'Adobe Reader.app', is grayed out *). I have a screen shot of this box, but cannot attach.
I have removed the Adobe plugin from ~/Library/internet Plug-Ins, there was no such plugin in /Library. I cleared Safari cache and restarted all to no avail. (ps: rather then removing, I renamed the Adobe plugin to removed_Adobe....)
Any suggestions? If I paste the URL of document into Firefox, firefox can deal with it. URL for test: http://materials.proxyvote.com/Approved/MC0069/20090203/AR_33254.PDF

(ps: rather then removing, I renamed the Adobe plugin to removed_Adobe....)
I doubt Safari will care what the file is called If it finds a plugin, it will try to use.
Try moving the file to your Desktop instead and then Quit and restart Safari.

Why is AdobePDFViewer saying it cannot find a compatible reader?

It started to be occasional, but now every time I try to open a PDF from the internet I get the following message:
"AdobePDFVIEWER cannot find a compatible Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to view this PDF. Please select one."
I have both Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and 9.2 installed. When I open either application window, the applications are greyed out.
I am on a MacbookPro laptop, OSX 10.4.11 and it happens on the G4 desktop computer too. The browser is the latest Safari.

Find feature in Adobe Reader

How do I use the Find feature in Adobe Reader? I used the Print PDF feature then copied the file from a Windows 7 computer to a CD-ROM and am trying to use it on a Windows 8 computer. The file opens but I cannot use the Find feature. Please help and thanks!

Try opening Adobe Reader on it's own then use File>Open (let's be sure that Reader is opening the file). Does Find work?
If it does, you just need to change your file associtaions so that Reader opens pdf files by default.
Here's how: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default

Form processed by LiveCycle, but cannot be saved by Adobe Reader

Hi All,
I have an Adobe form which has been processed by LiveCycle, however, it still cannot be saved by Adobe Reader. What could be the probable cause of this?
Background:
Previously, the whole process could work alright; i.e. create form using Acrobat Prof -> process using LiveCycle -> editing and saving with Adobe Reader.
However, after some changes where made to the pre-processed form, LiveCycle can no longer make the form save-able by Adobe Reader.
Thanks and best rgds,
Kwok Pong

Hi Kwok,
The term "LiveCycle" covers a good number of products so I will make the assumption you are talking about Reader Extensions. Please let me know if this is wrong.
If you licensed Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms this does not necessarily mean that you have licensed Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is sometimes referred to as ARES). ARES is the technology that is used to allow the Barcoded Forms PDFs to work but does not enable save-off-line capabilities on your forms unless you licensed this feature too.
Take a few minutes and listen to this presentation, it should give you an idea of how things are licensed: http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/barcodedformsandreaderextensions

Cannot sign documents with Adobe Reader 10.1.3 - 10.1.10, Can sign document with 10.1.2 and 11.0.07

Cannot sign documents with Adobe Reader 10.1.3 - 10.1.10, Can sign document with 10.1.2 and 11.0.07
In my environment, we have 10.1.2 that's currently packaged. Our CIO was able to sign documents via signature with no problem. Later he got updated to 10.1.9, no longer can sign.
During testing I was able to confirm that 10.1.2 signed without problems, but anything that, it goes kaput, the Sign and options are not listed.
Latest Adobe Reader can sign... any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem. What I'm trying to do is print a Microsoft Word 2010 document with paper size A4 to Adobe pdf document paper size A4. I select "A4" for paper size in word and then print using Adobe print standard settings. What I get is an Adobe document in 8.5 x 11. This is an issue because these are patent documents for electronic filing in WIPO and they must be in A4 size.
If I select other sizes in Word, such as A3, Tabloid, and Legal, the Adobe file is in the same paper size.
If I print a Powerpoint document in A4 to Adobe, the Adobe file page size is A4.
If I print an Adobe file in 8.5 x11 to Adobe A4, the second Adobe file is in A4.
Any help?

Do you have any password or encryption settings in your Runtime Properties?I do not think so, but not sure. Is there a way to check it? Is there a properties file.
Did I misunderstood it? but I can place both PDF and HTML files to the target location, the HTML filess are good only PDF files cannot be open by Adobe Read.

Cannot find Acro3d.msi on Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4

An irritating error that occasionally
occurs during updates or installation of plugins (like support for simple Chinese character set) often results in an error "Cannot find network resource"
Running v 9.4.4 on Windows 7, Acrobat is installed as part of the TCS 2.0 program suite.
By browsing, the file that is missing is Acro3D.msi. It does not exist under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2\Adobe Acrobat\Setup Files\{AC76BA86-1033-F400-7761-000000000004}
nor does it exist in the Data1.cab file (although I see an acro3dcapt.exe file...)
Where can I get this file, there are lots of torrent downloads but is there a download from Adobe?
Brs
David

You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

I cannot find an update for Acrobat 9.0 to 9.5 for use on WIN 8

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Does one exist?

Thanks for your quick responses.
More specifically, I have Acrobat 9.0 installed on my laptop running Windows 8.1. The updates function in Acrobat returns a message that it cannot find the update server. When I try to download updates from Adobe direct, even if it is only to update to the 9.1 version I get a message that my machine doesn't have the software installed on it. BTW, the 9.0 installation I have was actually an upgrade from Acrobate std 6.0.

Cannot open or launch adobe reader and adobe acrobat will not download

"Adobe acrobat must be launched" box appears when I try to read a file. I cannot launch adobe reader; it will not even open. When I try to download adobe acrobat it says adobe reader is already installed. Help!

What is your operating system? Reader version? How exactly are you trying to launch Reader?

Cannot find camera in Adobe Flash Player

Adobe Flash Player cannot find my camera so I am unable to play and vie video's correctly. It starts slowly and then stops and starts and take so long and I end up turning the video off. Unseen. I have deleted Adobe and re downloaded it. Nothing seem to work. I need to be able to view my videos on a regular basis as I watch my dogs racing on video.

Very strange. It appears that someone your copy of Muse half updated. Please delete your copy of Muse and re-install using the appropriate link below. (Do you recall any errors during the original update process?)

My iPod Nano 6th generation iLive speaker system quit on me and now I cannot find a compatible speaker system. I don't want tiny personal speakers, I use this for music in the family room.

I have 2 iPod Nano 6th generation. I had them setup with different music from iTunes and I had an iLive Bluetooth docking and speaker system that charged and played them with speakers spaced in the family room. Not a little personal setup but for reasonably loud music for the whole room. My iLive system died on me. It had the 20 pin place to plug in the iPod nano and a clock and the two speakers that were bluetooth. It was the perfect setup for me. Now that model has been discontinued and I cannot find anything like it. Does anyone know what a good option is? These iPods are only a couple of years old and now obsolete because they don't make anything to play them on. I don't use earbuds, it's not what I bought them for. One has our jazz music collection, the other has Christmas music. I want to hear it throughout the house.

Sorry typo it had a 30 pin place to plug in the iPod Nano

Cannot complete form using Adobe Reader - Mac OS X 10.6.8

I have been using Adobe Reader to complete forms for my Bank for more than 9 months without any problems. I'm using Adobe Reader 10.1.1 for Mac. I recently upgraded my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 and this is the first time I've tried to use Adobe Reader since the upgrade. Today when I opened my form using Adobe Reader I cannot select and type in any of the text fields. Trying to click inside a text box simply seems to 'select' the entire page.
I checked online but could not find any compatibility issues. I'm hoping that I've overlooked something very simple that I should have done but have no idea what that could be.
I would be very grateful if someone could advise me what my problem might be.
Cheers
Tricia

Thanks for responding Ankit. No, I saved the form to a folder on my desktop and I open it using the Adobe Reader app. It has always worked without a problem before. I checked my husband's iMac (which has the same saved form on his Desktop). He is also running OS X 10.6.8. On his machine it opened without a hitch so I used his computer to fill in the form and print it out. Obviously, if it works on his computer and he's also using 10.6.8 it's not related to the upgrade.
I trashed my copy of Adobe Reader and have re-downloaded the app. Will install it and see whether it now works or if the problem persists. Will post back the results.'

Cannot submit form with Adobe Reader 7

I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and have enabled user user rights so that people using reader can save a copy of the PDF.
On the form itself, there is a button that is of type submit that specifies a valid URL and submits the data as XDP.
Whilst working in Lifecycle Designer or Adobe Professional, I am able to submit the form and its content. Once I open the PDF in Adobe Reader 7.0, when I try to submit the form I always get this error "cannot handle content type text/html; charset=utf-8".
I have no idea what is the error and I am hoping some one can provide some guidance.
Thanks

It is certainly true that Adobe Reader can't handle text/html - it
isn't a web browser and doesn't have HTML function - so what other
content types have you tried? (I think some versions may give the
error and others may fail silently). I don't think Adobe are ignoring
the problem: the message is clear and Reader is working as designed. I
imagine to work you need to return a suitable PDF or XML response.
I agree it would be very helpful if Adobe provided accessible
information on what they do expect. This may be a reflection of their
wish to sell LiveCycle server products to handle your submission.
Anyone out there with a working solution?
