CID or ContractID for Firefox PDF Plug-in XPCOM (XPT)

Can anyone at Adobe tell me the CID / ContractID for the Web2PDF Firefox plug-in for the XPCOM (IWeb2PDFComponent.xpt) component?
For some reason, the XPT isn't loading and I wanted to try it by CID.
web2pdfcomp_cinst = Components.classes["@adobe.com/Web2PDF/Web2PDFComponent;1"].createInstance(Components.int erfaces.IWeb2PDFComponent);
Thanks to lazy coding, the plug-in fails silently because the // TODO was never done...
catch(err)
//TODO: Inform the user by displaying an appropriate message.
I upgraded to Acrobat X specifically for the PDF plug-in support for Firefox, and it doesn't work.
Thanks,
Paul

Yes, it's an identical copy (incl. version, dates and digitally-signed certs) as far as I can see on all these 3 folders located at C:\Program files\
-> Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Browser -> nppdf32.dll
-> Mozilla Firefox\plugins -> nppdf32.dll
-> Internet Explorer\PLUGINS -> nppdf32.dll <--- This folder and file
Please also note that IE Activex controls (3 files - also at version 9.5.2.295) are located at C:\Program files\Common files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\
-> AcroPDF.dll (PDF Browser Control)
-> AcroIEHelper.dll (Adobe PDF Helper for Internet Explorer) and
-> AcroIEHelperShim.dll
Weird indeed! Any ideas?

Possible fix for Adobe PDF plug ins (Safari & Print) on Snow Leopard

I think I just discovered a "fix" for the Adobe PDF problem, as well as for some other miscelanious problems with Snow Leopard applications. I found the fix for the plug in from PDF on Adobe's website. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50983.html
Following these directions (changing the option from 64-bit, to 32-bit when the application loads), seems to have cured the plug-in for PDF from Adobe and loads the plug in properly.
There is a link, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51248.html for changing the settings similarly for Automator to fix the "save as PDF" in Print.
I've also applied this "suggested fix" to Mail and Address Book, to see if it remedies some of the continued glitching and crashes on my iMac, even after the latest update (10.6.1). No problems with my PBG4, as it's not Snow Leopard nor Intel.
Hope this solution is useful.

I am having the same problem from CS4 Illustrator

I have repeatibly loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update. While the plug in check is important it is quite bothersome at present. Please help.

EVERY TIME the browser boots it kicks off the plug in check. I understand that this is important but it is currently a pain. Once I update Adobe Acrobat Plug in the browser does not recognize that the plug in has been installed and keeps coming up and up an up an up.
This is the message I get.
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update
Please get back with me regarding a fix.

Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefox & Netscape ''9.4.1'' was causing unresponsive problems on my browser and I had to disable it . Is there anything I can do about this?

I was getting an unresponsive script warning on most web pages, but more persistent on Windows Live telling me to stop script or continue. I could view the pages by doing both and the only way i could stop the warnings from appearing was to disable the Adobe PDF Plug-in. Increasing the time for the script to run didn't seem to work either. It was taking too long for the pages to load and Firefox used to hang.
After disabling the plug-in it stopped doing it.
Does disabling it effect my browser in any other way?

Hello Vivek,
I have learned I do have the latest Adobe Reader installed and that the plug-in is included in that download & install. So apparently the problem lies with the Firefox plug-in checker.
I did the ALT + H, while in FF, & deleted the file, retried update, using the Firefox Plug-in Checker w/same results.
Then I exited FF, did the Windows key + R typed in %APPDATA% & located it then deleted it, and now wouldn't you know the Plug-In Checker is not working, (We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later.)
Just gave it another shot & it's working . But still no joy, same results, showing the plug-in needs updating - being outdated version.

Adobe pdf plug in for firefox, 10.1.4 version, does not work but can not update to new version, why?

Adobe pdf plug in does not work, when I tried to update following message appeared, "Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower has been blocked for your protection", how to solve this problem?

Could you review/adjust your preference for which program opens PDFs? I'm not sure how that drop-list behaves when there are multiple Adobe plugins. You might need to physically remove an old plugin file or two to make sure Firefox is not trying to use the old one.
* [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]] <br>
''Edit: actually this article describe how to use the Options dialog Applications section to review/change the setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]''.
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins (only one want nppdf32.dll here)
* In regedit.exe, check the following key for the source of obsolete plugins: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins
Both the file that stores download handling preferences, and the file which registers plugins, can be renamed and Firefox will regenerate them, so those remains options for further actions as well.

How can I find a PDF plug in for Firefox 5 running on Mac OSX (10.6)

I recently installed an Update and received a message that my PDF Plug In for Firefox would be disabled, but that when the Update had been installed the Plug in would be enabled. This has not happened.
I am running Firefox 5 on Mac OSX (10.6)

I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

PDF Plug-In For Firefox found at my IE Program Folder?

Hi:
During recent troubleshooting of my Adobe Reader 9.5.2 update's installation, I found a 'PLUGINS' folder containing a copy of the 'Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox (nppdf32.dll)', located at my Internet Explorer Program's files folder.
I wonder what would a Plugin for Firefox be possibly doing with my IE's files?
Does anybody know or have seen this?
Thanks in advance.

Save As dialog hangup (Plug-in for Firefox)

Hi folks,
I'm running Firefox 5.0, equipped with the Adobe Acrobat (Reader?) 10.1.0.534 Plug-In for Firefox, on several fully patched XP Pro systems. On a regular basis I view publicly accessible/non-DRMd PDFs via the Plug-in and save a copy by mousing to the bottom of the viewport to activate the autohide toolbar thingy and clicking on "Save a copy". Doing so causes a Save As dialog to pop up. Very frequently, an attempt to use that Save As dialog... immediately clicking Save to save to the default directory or clicking the Desktop icon to change to a different directory... will cause that Save As dialog to indefinetely hang. In order to clear this condition I have to kill the AcroRd32.exe process, and sometimes also the plugin-container.exe and firefox.exe processes as well. The problem is intermittent in the sense that it sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't happen, even for the same exact PDF file. This is something I've coped with for a very long time, under different versions of Firefox, on old as well as newly created XP Pro installs, before and after purging/reinstalling Firefox and Adobe software, different versions of the Plug-in, etc.
Is this a known problem? Has anyone else experienced this type of problem and found a way to prevent it from happening? Thanks in advance.

Acrobat is now at 11.0.3. Fixes for earlier versions come later.

AdobePDF Plug-in for Firefox & Netscape 10.0.1 won't update for me

I check my plug-ins almost daily. Adobe Acrobat needed to update. I have never had trouble before with this.
It's Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 that won't update. Thing is the Adobe Manger came on and it looked like it was done and in my Add-ons box it's there but the plug-in on my Firefox plug-in page says it's outdated. I tried to install it several times and the Adobe Manger downloads but site still says it's outdated. My Adobe Reader X works fine though. Maybe this is something I don't have to worry about but I don't know. So, I'm asking for some help.
Also, even though this didn't update correctly, when I did update the first time it brought along a new plug-in called getPlusPlus for Adobe 162103, at first I disabled it in my add-0n/plug-in box but I read that this helps Adobe Reader and I enabled it. But the Plug-in box remains grey and says unknown. So, should I disable it?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Sincerely,
Debbie

No, it won't interfere with your Adobe Reader X as it is only the problem with the plug-in. Your Adobe Reader X will still function normally. You should receive a notice from Adobe in your PC to notify you there's an update waiting to be installed, if you have chosen to be notified:
Open Adobe Reader X > Edit > Preference > Updater and choose whatever option you prefer.
Or you can also check for update periodically at Help > Check for Updates

"Fast Web View" not supported in Acrobat X plug-in for FireFox/Chrome

The Acrobat X plug-in for displaying PDFs in FireFox/Chrome does NOT support fast web view. This means that PDFs don't display until after the entire file has been download.
For example, try viewing this document in either IE(Windows) or Safari(Mac):
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/pdf/PDFReference.pdf
Notice how it opens very quickly, and then you can scroll around and view all the content as the PDF content strreams in? In Safari you can see the download progress like you used to be able to see in all versions of the acrobat plug-in. Note also that in the IE version, although fast web view is working, you cannot see the download progress like you used to be able to... Thats an issue, but not nearly as bad as the real issue...
Now try clicking the same link in either FireFox or Chrome (note that in Chrome you need to be sure that Chrome's PDF viewer is turned off and the acrobat plug-in is enabled). Note that the PDF is not displayed until the entire file is downloaded.
This feature is VITAL for viewing large documents online. I'm astonished that this has not been reported by other users.
Adobe -- PLEASE be sure that this gets fixed in the next update to Reader X!! I was shocked to see that it was not fixed in 10.1.

WHY would you want to disable this? Linearized "Fast Web View" enabled PDF are the right and proper type of document to be created.

Adobe PDF Plugin for Firefox 4

Mac OS X 10.6.7 with Firefox 4.0 / Acrobat X Pro 10.0.3
After installing Firefox 4 I was told that the PDF plug-in was no longer compatible and that Firefox was unable to find an update for the plug-in. I cannot believe this to be true but was unable to locate a new version. When finding a PDF-document in Firefox I would like to open it in the browser without the need to downlad the document. Under Windows the Adobe PDF Plug-In "Adobe Acrobat 10.0.1.434" is compatible and PDF-documents are opened showing (application/pdf-Objekt) in the tab, just as it looked with Firefox 3.6 on the Mac.

Hi, What operating system are you using? Are you Uninstalling the current Flash Player version first?

I have Firefox 3.0.10 and cannot seem to find the right plugin for reading pdfs. I've installed Adobe Reader but it doesn't work. Help.

I cannot seem to find or install a plug in for reading pdfs in the browser window. I get that yellow bar telling me I need a plug in and click to install but nothing happens or changes

You're going to need an '''older version''' of that extension from here: <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7518/versions/
Firefox PDF Plugin version 1.1.2 = for 3.0.x and 3.5.x versions <br />
The latest is only for Firefox 3.6.x versions.
'''Or''', you could upgrade to a newer version of Firefox!

I cannot get adobe to download most recent flash or reader for Firefox nor can I find a plug-in for either

After my laptop crashed the second day of class, I had to send it away for repair for 8-12 weeks. I have had to reset it up from scratch and have set-up Firefox. There is a online college math program that they recommend using Firefox with. In the past I have never had a problem with Adobe anything. The program also requires the newest Adobe Flash Player and Reader. I have repeatedly tried downloading, rebooting and restarting the the downloaded .exe files for both (making sure there is only one version running at a time in the file folder and in task manager background). I have used all possible settings for adobe products permissions to work across all firewall, antivirus, web protection, Mozilla and my computer systemin general, even Internet Explorer (Hate it).
The files download to my downloads file folder through Firefox, however, when I double-click to install them I get the "Do you want to run", "yes", then "Windows smartscreen is unavailable do you want to run anyway, "Yes", then absolutely nothing happens. No wizards, no installing, nothing or I get a "Only one single instance of this file must run." and again nothing. Tried it with nothing open, but the "install" and with the browser open. Neither works. It's usually listed in |Task Manager Background apps, but uses no memory, no CPU, nothing.
I've also tried contacting the school program's IT division (3 hours) nothing, the program itself's IT department (2 hours and they disconnected me) or the best anyone could offer was use another browser. Can't get the only other option, Chrome, to work on my computer at all! I've tried all Mozilla and Adobe support/knowledge bases/zines, etc... I'm just a Joe schmo not a developer or IT person and a 4 finger typist at best. What I am is 2 weeks behind in my online class and ready to pitch the f#$***g thing across the room. I was able to borrow a laptop from a friend until I got mine back, but that isn't an option anymore.
Also tried finding an older version - no luck, All support sites keep telling me to find the Firefox "Adobe Plug-in" and just update from there. I have searched all Mozilla Plug-ins, add-ons, etc... but nothing, just download(s) for non-adobe flash players that the math program won't use. No matter How much I try to get it to.
AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Help.

For Flash, could you try downloading the "full" installers from this page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
In the first table, there are two rows for Windows: one for the ActiveX control for IE, and one for the plugin for Firefox. You might want to grab both. And try the .msi files instead of the .exe files to see whether those work better.
Will either of those install?
It's odd that on a newly rebuilt system your More System Details shows that you have a user.js file, which is an optional settings files used to override your previous session settings. This is not part of the standard Firefox installation, so if you did not create that file yourself, you may want to investigate or delete it. This article has more information on that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

I have never herd of Verizon adding an additional account especially since new account required both a credit check and your signature. Anyway this is a customer to customer forum so I'm not sure how you expect other customers to help you.
