Checking if Adobe Reader is installed

Hi,
We are dynamically creating PDF pages and having errors if
Adobe Reader is
not installed on the computer. What is the best way to handle
this?
Is there a way to check whether Adobe Reader is installed or
not before
creating the PDF page?
Please let me know.
YC

Well, the page opens a new window with the PDF format, but if
there is no
Adobe Reader installed, it's trying to download the original
"cfm" page
instead of the "pdf."

  • How to tell which version of Adobe Reader is installed on iPhone

    I can I figure out which version of Adobe Reader is installed on an iPhone?

    Hi,
    To check the version of Adobe Reader on your iPhone/iPad
    Go to your iOS home screen.
    Tap Settings.
    Scroll down to the bottom to find Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
    Check the version number.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    Try installing from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise

  • How do i install adobe reader without installing products from google.

    i dont like google, i dont like a bunch of worthless taskbars crowding my browser. so how do i install adobe reader without installing google products when you dont even give me the chance to say i dont want them?
    It is unethical to force onto people products of any nature that they do not want. i do not want google products so by your installation for adobe reader automatically installing google products without my consent is unethical.

    I don't understand the "forcing" part; the bundled software is clearly optional, and can be unchecked before the download.
    Or using the download link that Michael provided earlier (which is posted at least a dozen times every day in this forum).

    You can extract pages with Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

  • Adobe Reader XI installed but "Not Found"

    I have Adobe Reader XI installed and apparently running normally. Unfortunately the UK's Parcelforce web-site says it can't find it.
    I get the message " Adobe Acrobat NOT found. You must have Adobe Reader (5 or better) with the browser plugin properly working"
    Can anyone help me please? How can I tell if "the browser plugin is properly working" ?

    In IE11 use Tools | Manage Add-ons, then show All Add-ons.  Do you see the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, and is it enabled?

    My computer is infected with Adware.  I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it.  Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed.  Reader wasn't the problem.  So how do I get Reader reinstalled?
    And if anyone knows how to delete WebProtect ads, please let me know.  It's actually getting worse.

    Hi frostedinsilver,
    I'm sorry to hear that. What a hassle.
    You can download Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.

  • Adobe Reader 9 install issue

    Hi all
    We're trying to create a custom installation of Adobe Reader 9 to deploy to 1800+ users. We have extracted the MSI and used the Adobe Customisation Wizard to generate a TRANSFORMS (MST) file. Our Document Management System (Interwoven) is hard-coded to look for AcroRD32.exe in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader" so we configured the MST to install Adobe Reader 9 to "C:\Program Files\Adobe", instead of the default installation path "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader". We're just deploying the following command in a batch file for now:-
    msiexec /i \\server\share\AdobeReader9\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="\\server\share\AdobeReader9\AcroRead.mst" /qb! /norestart ALLUSERS=1 /l*vx C:\AdobeReader9.log
    It appears to install to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader" as desired fine, we see many files/folders (56 items in total) but just as the MSI Installer finishes, it removes all files and leaves the 11 folders empty (we monitored this throughout the install by pressing F5 to refresh the screen). When we launch Adobe Reader for the 1st time only the MSI Installer starts up again and reinstates all files into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader" and the 11 sub-folders, before it opens Adobe Reader. How odd! We have re-created the MST from scratch but no joy. We did noticed that when we create another MST with the default installation path it works fine, in that it copies all files and folders during the installation to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader" and does not remove them at the end of the installation. So perhaps it does not like the install path change for some reason??
    Does anyone know why this is happening and what we can do to fix it please? Huh?
    Thanks
    Scott

    I now understand the MSI install appears to "rollback" for some reason. I have checked the verbose logfile and I do see references to "rollback" and have look a few lines before each "rollback" entry but I am still not sure why it is happening, if it is at all. I analysed the logfile using WiLogUtl.exe but no errors founds or clues as to why the install appears to "rollback".
    I see no facility to attach the logfile, so could someone point me in the right direction please?
    Thanks
    Scott

  • Adobe Reader XI Install Error 1325 AI_RecycleBin is not a valid short file name

    Adobe 10 worked fine on my computer, when I did the update for Adobe XI I got this error.  I tried a couple of times to redownload and install with no success.  Adobe Reader 10 wouldn't work either.  I did a restore on my computer back before the Reader update and that did not get Adober Reader back to working.
    I have been through the Adobe Help & Support, and  Community.  I have used the uninstaller programs and checked anything and everything I found in those two places.  I even tried to install Reader 9 to no avail.
    I am ready for some help and ideas?

    In your post https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1572490 you show message 'Documents is not a valid short file name'.  Now you have the same problem with AI_RecycleBin?
