How to disable Acrobat reader toolbar permanently when rendering PDF with Adobe Reader in-browser

Hi ,
I am using Adobe Reader to view my pdf files which is embedded in the HTML page and running as an activex. I need to disable the toolbar like share the content as email link /attachment for the security reason. I am able to find a way to hide the Acrobat toolbar but it is visible by just pressing F8.
Can anyone please suggest a way to disable the toolbar permanently.
Thanks in Advance.
Jobin.

Hi Bernd Alheit,
when I try to open a PDF in a browser and attaching the query string as #toolbar=0 makes the toolbar hidden. But in my case I am rendering the form using a formservice - renderPDFForm method with XDP format file as a input file. So I cant use the toolbar=0 option, since there is no url. Rather I have used the javascript code in the form designer to hide the toolbar. app.toolbar =false ; But this particular code is not working for acrobat reader X version. Can you please help me how to hide the tool bar.
Thanks,
Dhamo

Disable online services/features in Acrobat Reader DC?

With the new update being released from Reader to Acrobat Reader DC, I have concerns with the use of cloud storage and storing sensitive data.
I have looked around and the only information I have found for disabling these new features are in reference to groups who use the Acrobat Customization Wizard DC, which means they would be running an Enterprise version.
I have installed and tested the new Acrobat Reader DC on both Windows and OS X, there are no obvious options for disabling the services that I am referring to.
Services I am referencing:
Adobe cloud storage service
Sending and tracking documents
Syncing across multiple devices (by use of cloud storage)
Is there a way to disable the use of these services on an individual (non Enterprise) install of Acrobat Reader DC?
Thanks in advanced!

You can use the Adobe Customization Wizard DC on both Reader DC (Classic or Perpetual) versions.
Adobe Customization Wizard
You can also use the Windows Registry to turn these services OFF.
Services integration
Workflows (Services integration)
These preferences enable integration with Document Cloud services.
This preference category contains the following subfeature(s):
Mobile Link
Services (Acrobat.com: 11.x and earlier)
Services (EchoSign: 11.x and earlier)
Services (SharePoint-Office365)
Services integration (11.x and earlier)
Services integration (DC)
Synchronizer
Services integration (DC)
These settings for DC products replace those used by 11.x and earlier. By default, Adobe online services are tightly integrated with the user interface so that users can leverage them in enterprise workflows. Adobe's services are rapidly evolving and allow your organization to increase its efficiency with zero infrastructure and management costs.

Acrobat Reader X Disable Protection mode

Hi All,
i need some help with this freaky Acrobat Reader X version.
We have currently ~1000 computers with different old versions of AR (form 6 to 9)
We need to upgrade to 10.0.1 version all PC's
Will use SCCM for distributing the package.
OK... everything here seems good but ... a lot of problems and erros appear.
First we've installed on test group of 10 pc's the AR 10.0.0
all users start complainig that they can't open the pdf's from our file servers.
Solution - bring the patch 10.0.1
After that all users start complaining that they can't print - Windows Error - Acrobat need to be closed !
Solution - Protection mode disabled.
My questions :
1. How can I distribute both the Package of Acrobat and the update together with SCCM
All my tries and reaings failed !!!
i've try different methods and no success
msiexec /i /q \\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" PATCH=\\server\d$\Workstation Baseline\AcrobatReaderX\adbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp
this do not work for me This is in SCCM program
2. How can i disable through Adobe Wizard the Protection Mode ?
I know how to do it manually but is not acceptable this way - i can't communicate with 1000 users to do this manually
I know how to disable it from registry with GPO , but i can't disable it before installation, also i can't disable it on all PC's after installation, because it will take several days to complete for all pc's and this "hole" of some days will stop the work of our end-users.
Any fresh ideia is wellcome. Also any help
Thanks

hey,
had similar issues with protection mode.
found we can do it 2 ways, 1. via registry entry, or 2. via an ADM.
sorry cannot remember the referenced posts for the fixes below...
we use the adm so that users cannot change it, and so that updates dont reset it.
note that the adm has only a few settings, and i dont know the code for any other settings.
1. - REG method:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bProtectedMode"=dword:00000000
REM: Above line Disables Protected Mode on startup
2. - ADM Template method
please note, just copy and paste into a text file and rename as .adm.
remember that on the last section of the code below, change the "YOUR HEADER HERE" bit to what you want to use to find it in the GPO manager once you add the template.

Acrobat Reader X security, comments disable

Hello, we need to work with Acrobat Reader X. We generate a pdf from a doc file and we add security to disable printing and we enable commenting, but when we open it with Acrobat Reader X we see that printing is disabled, but commenting is disable too. ¿It's a bug from Acrobat Reader X? we know that Acrobat Reader XI resolve it but we can't see in realease notes.

We add security from java with itext library. Wirth user and password:
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, out);
stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_MODIFY_ANNOTATIONS), true);
If we put "stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING), true);" we can see PRINTING enable but it we put " stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_MODIFY_ANNOTATIONS), true);" is always disabled.
We use Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 .
I read some discussions like http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2010/12/can-i-comment-on-pdfs-using-the-free-adobe-reader/ but i need an oficial release note where we can read the bug.
ACROBAT X.
ACROBAT XI.
I know that with Acrobat 11.0 the problem is resolved, I tried with 10.1.4, 10.1.5, 10.1.6, 10.1.7, 10.1.8 and 10.1.9. I can't find the list of release notes of Acrobat Reader 11.0.

Disable "Display PDF in browser" | Acrobat, Reader XI

I understand this is the suggested method of disabling the "Display PDF in browser" is http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html However we would like to know if there is an API or something we can simply remove from the workstation to disable "Display PDF in browser".
Where is and what's the name of the file IE loads for "Display PDF in browser"
Is there a Reg Key that we can modiefy to Disable "Display PDF in browser"?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer.
Ed

From the KB note: "Acrobat XI and Reader XI do not include a preference setting to open web-based PDFs. "
In other words, what you want is already the default. All of the major browsers have their own PDF viewer. Moreover, the old reg pref "disable browser integration" never worked across all browsers due to the number of browsers and the rate at which they were evolving. That pref is removed in 11.x products.
While I don't understand the question in your first bullet, the default browser behavior seems to be what you are looking for. Browser behavior should be configured with browser settings rather than Acrobat/Reader settings.
hth,

How to disable save option from adobe toolbar in Acrobat Reader

We need to disable Save option from Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer 8/9/10 version.
Acrobat version is X.
Is it possible to disable Save ( Floppy Disk) icon?
We have disabled printing and copying.
Please help

You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.
If you are a big enterprise with sensitive information consider DRM solutions ($$$$+).

Disabling/Re-enabling Adobe's Acrobat Reader Plug-in

Hi there
I was forced to install Adobe's Acrobat Reader Plug-in in order to view and download my bank statements. However, I would like to use Safari's default PDF viewer plug-in when browsing other than my bank's website.
Is there any way to disable and re-enable the Adobe Acrobat Reader (Plug-in) without having to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: another_steve

I had the same issue with 9.0.0 -- option to disable from Reader's "Internet" options was grayed out.
This is a side-effect (feature?) of how Adobe installs the plug-in at the System level
/HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
instead of at the User level
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
I switched to an Admin account, launched Reader, and the option was not grayed out. I deselected it then quit and switched back to my user account.
When I launched Reader in my user account and opened preferences, then selected Internet, the option was still grayed out but now the "feature" was disabled.
So, Adobe has decided that individual users don't merit control over their own plug-in preference. It's the admin's choice and that dictates for all users on the system.
Like you, there are only a few situations where I am forced to use Adobe Reader -- certain medical, insurance, or financial forms that don't render or transmit accurately when using Preview.
Drives me nuts -- those are exactly the kind of forms I want to save as PDF to disk when completed -- and Adobe explicitly prevents saving as PDF. I can transmit the completed form to the provider, or I can save a blank form, but I cannot save a PDF of the completed form. Like chewing on soap by the time I'm finished...
Anyhow, hope that sorts it out for you.

Acrobat Reader XI addon gets disabled periodically in Internet Explorer within Windows domain

We have a followig problem that happens on new workstations with Windows 7 x64 and Acrobat Reader XI only.
Every few days (cca 3-30) the following key is automatically added to registry:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}
This key has the effect that Acrobat Reader XI gets disabled in Internet Explorer add-ons. So when user opens PDF in IE (or SAP or other Windows software using IE), it is not opened within IE but in a new separate window.
Can you please suggest what can be the reason for this, like group policy etc.?

From here:
http://serverfault.com/a/666205/229754
I quote:
Assuming you have installed
Microsoft Window 7+ / Server 2008 R2+
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11+ (IE)
Adobe PDF Reader 11+ (Reader)
Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection / Microsoft Malware Protection (MalwareProtection)
the following seems to happen here:
MalwareProtection registers a component named Microsoft Antimalware IOfficeAntiVirus implementation (MpOAv) for Extension Validation with IE.
IExtensionValidation interface
For Internet Explorer 11, specifies an interface the anti-malware vendors can implement. Vendors that register support for this interface may be called by IE11 to validate that an ActiveX control is safe to instantiate.
MpOAv registers as a CLSID of {2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}.
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extension Validation\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extension Validation\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}]
You can inspect the detailed properties of MpOAv in the registry. The associated DLL usually resides at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Security Client\MpOAv.dll
[HKCR\CLSID\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}]
Now everytime IE wants to run an ActiveX control, the registered MpOAv is being called before that and sometimes misbehaves or simply thinks that the Reader ActiveX control is not safe. I have no idea what its behavior really depends on.
This all results in IE (iexplore.exe) writing 2 keys to the registry: The CLSIDs of MpOAv {2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE} and Reader {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}.
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}]
From this point on IE will not run the Reader ActiveX control until someone manually removes its CLSID from there. This is the observed problem.
Will Adobe offer some solution to this issue???
I confirm the existence of metioned registry keys, looks promising! – Vojtěch Dohnal 11 mins ago
But I fear that removing MpOAv from validation extensions completely will result in less secure browsing for users. – Vojtěch Dohnal just now edit

Hello,
I want to remove "Enable Commenting and Analysis in Acrobat Reader" so I can edit the PDF with Pitstop or Advanced Editing tools, and everything gets dimmed even though I resave the file thru File > Save a Copy
How can I go about editing my PDFs after they have been enabled for Commenting in Reader?

How to disable the world view in Acrobat reader

Hello all;
I have searched several times now for a way to permanently turn off the global view/page navigator or whatever it is call that appears in the upper right corner of Acrobat reader when I scroll a document. Some might find it useful, I find it gets in the way and covers the text I am reading while supplying no value as a navigation aid.
I cannot find anything that even references the little view box and gives it a name, much less tells me how to turn it off.
Help please.
Thanks Much
Nick

Really, I get it on all my PCs all the time. Just scroll a document and it pops up without being asked, then you click it close but no sooner do you scroll again and it is back.
Thanks for looking, I also cannot find any mention of it anywhere, I do not even know its proper name.
Sad, an undocumented, unwanted, unknown “feature”.
Thanks MUCH!
Nick

Disable share function on acrobat reader on Android tablet app

Installed the adobe acrobat reader on a android tablet. As the table is locked down for the most part with other third party apps, I also wanted to prohibit the ability for the user to save to acrobat.com or to share to other apps or internet. Basically a view only reader.

There is a special subforum for the Android version of Reader:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums/android?view=discussions

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)

Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

My submit button on my PDF form is greyed out (will not work) after posting link to PDF on my WordPress website. It works in Acrobat Reader just fine.

This is where you can see the form as clicked through to from the WordPress website page:
http://pinetreeplayers.com/ptp_new/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/submit-a-play.pdf
The PDF file was created in Acrobat 11, with a submit button. The submit button is actioned to send the form via email. It works perfectly by itself if the form is opened in Acrobat Reader, but once I upload the PDF to my WordPress site the submit button is greyed out, and will not complete the action to send on-click.
How can I fix this please - can anyone offer advice?

Yes. They need to download Reader and then disable Google Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe Reader.
FireFox should also be configured to use Adobe Reader and not the internal PDF viewer.
