Can't uninstall Acrobat Reader Plugin

I don't want PDF files to open in Firefox 3.6.10. I want to be asked whether to open or save the file, using Foxit Reader outside of Firefox (PDF files are registered to Foxit on my computer). In the past, I have renamed the nppdf32.dll file and successfully disabled the Acrobat plugin (which disappared from about:plugins). This now does not work, and the plugin is still listed in about:plugins, despite there bing no nppdf32.dll file. Now, when I try to download or open a PDF file, all I get is a black screen--no dialog box and no document. Please tell me what to do. Thanks.

You can disable that plugin. Open the add-ons manager (select Add-on in the Tools menu). Now go to the Plugins panel, select the Adobe PDF plugin in the list of plugins and click the Disable button.

    I installed Reader 8.2 which was on this site hoping it would pick up all the bits and uninstall together but no luck, I still get the same error message.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 & XI both installed on Mac. How can I uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 & not affect Acrobat XI?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro XI are installed on the same iMac with OS X 10.8.5.  How do I safely uninstall only Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting Acrobat Pro XI?
    When I first installed Acrobat Pro XI, I thought maybe I was suppose to leave Acrobat Pro 9 on my computer.
    So now I have both Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro 11 installed.
    I see no benefit to having both installed. I want to uninstall only the Acrobat Pro 9 and not Acrobat Pro XI.
    I am not sure that I can safely uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting the functioning and files for Acrobat Pro XI.
    I started to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I stopped when I saw a warning in a little window.
    I went to the  "Acrobat Uninstaller.app"  file in the  "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro"  folder and double clicked it.
    The Acrobat folder for Acrobat XI Pro came up with the file "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" selected
    I manually selected the  "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app"  file in the  "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder.
    When I clicked on "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" for Acrobat 9  a window with a warning came up. So I stopped.
    "Uninstall will remove files, folders, and preferences installed by Acrobat from your system.
    There is no undo available. User data files and directories shared by other Adobe applications will not be removed."
    Should I go ahead and click [Uninstall]?
    I don't think it will delete my pdf files.
    Will this affect my Acrobat XI operating &/or preferences? Will Acrobat XI still function correctly?
    What do I have to do to safely have just Acrobat XI on my computer without Acrobat 9?
    Thank you for any help.

    I am trying to uninstall, I tried to uninstall, but I got the following message when trying to uninstall: "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller." Acrobat 9 installation suddenly stopped working
    Can you help?

  • How to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer

    Hi,
    I have been trying to figure out how to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer. My goal is to find a way to allow users of our web application to print PDFs to the default printer without having to go through the plugin's GUI. Our application includes a browser helper component, and I had hoped it would be possible to use the IWebBrowser2 interface's get_Document() method to get at some sort of interface to the plugin (as is possible for, say, a Word document hosted in Internet Explorer) and then use this to print the document. However, this does not work: get_Document(), when called on an IWebBrowser2 instance with a PDF loaded, returns E_NOINTERFACE. I also tried calling the IWebBrowser2 interface's ExecWB() method with OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, and PRINT_DONTBOTHERUSER, and printed a blank page rather than the PDF.
    Is it possible to do what I am attempting? Like I said, my core goal is to print a PDF from within Internet Explorer without requiring user interaction. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this -- it doesn't _have_ to be by automating the plugin (maybe that is a the wrong approach... though it sure would be nice if the plugin provided access to its object model via IWebBrowser2->get_Document()).
    Thanks in Advance,

    IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
    "<"body>
    "<"OBJECT id="pdf"
    type="application/pdf"
    width=800
    height=600 >
    "<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
    "<"/OBJECT>
    "<"script language="JavaScript">
    function waitLoad()
    setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
    function printFile()
    var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
    objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
    "<"/script>
    "<"/body>
    So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
    This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
    Thank again.

  • Can't Open Acrobat Reader

    Can't open Acrobat Reader. Got a Windows error due to system problem, Windows automatically closes it.

    It says...
    Adobe Reader has stopped operation
    "Because something has happened, causing the application not to operate normally, Windows will shut down the application, should there be any resolution to it will let you know."
    Even if I uninstall the Adobe Reader and re-install it again, the same error message happens.

  • Creating an Adobe Acrobat Reader Plugin (Licensing)

    Adobe Acrobat Reader Plugin
    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to go about getting an Adobe Reader plug-in working?
    I've read all the 'Adobe Reader Integration Key License Agreement' stuff but I'm a little confused.
    My plug-in is specific to my application (it allows a button to be added to Adobe Reader which passes the file name to my application)-nothing complicated.
    How do I go from an Adobe Acrobat plug-in to make it an Adobe Reader plug-in also?
    Is there really a cost involved in doing this?
    Any help and guidance on this would be really appreciated.
    Regards
    Stuart

    Note: it is now called Adobe Reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader was the name 10 years ago.
    Yes, there really is a cost. You apply to Adobe, and they examine your case and justification. They might approve it, and equally, they may reject it. Then they will negotiate a price with you, perhaps with a one-off cost and perhaps with an annual fee, or both. The fee will depend on volumes and type of plug-in. The most expensive are DRM plug-ins, which seem to demand five figures, recurring.
    Finally, if approved and paid for, they issue you with a key and you use it to transform your Acrobat plug-in into one that can load in Reader (it remains loadable in Acrobat). This will be valid for a specific release of Reader only.

  • Bug in Acrobat Reader Plugin for FF?

    Hi,
    i use a web application which pulls pdf reports from a server by http-post requests, so parameters are transmitted in the requests-body.
    As a viewer i do use Acrobat Reader Plugin, most recent release with FF 3.0.3 on Windows XP pro.
    So due of the http-post requests the requested url remains always the same for every report.
    The problem:
    In case of two reports having the same content-length, the former requested report is displayed as the result of the last request, though the content is different.
    The effect could be reproduced.
    Obviously the plugin cant distinguish the reports. With Acrobat Reader as the Viewer and with IE and Adobe AddOn all reports are displayed correct.
    Beside the http-post implmentation may not be the best way to do this, is this a bug or mishandling by the user.
    Regards
    Chris

  • Plugin check says the Acrobat Reader plugin (10.0.1.434) is an outdated version; however, I downloaded the latest version of Acrobat and installed it. Is there a problem on my PC /environment or with the plugin check?

    1. Did the plugin check on June 10th -- got the message that Acrobat Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape was an outdated version. Pressed the Update button on the page and was taken to the Adobe site.
    2. Downloaded the latest version, AdbeRdr1001_en_US.exe, and then ran the executable locally on the PC. The update completed normally. Note: I did not unistall the old Acrobat reader before running the executable.
    3. Went back to the plugin check page and I still received the outdated message for that plugin. Have rebooted system (i.e. the next day) and repeated the check, with the same results.
    4. Have opened Acrobat Reader application, pressed Help and then Check for Updates -- no new updates were found. Have run the Mozilla test (Mozilla Privacy Policy PDF) without any issues.
    5. What is the plugin version that should be registered on my PC within the Add-ons Manager?
    6. Please advise on the appropriate steps.

    I think there is a bug in Plug-in check. It happened to me as well in the last few days. There's no newer version of Adobe Reader that I know of. Anyway, Adobe is going to release a patch next Tuesday, maybe that'll fix this bug.
