Disabling Adobe Reader XI's Plug-In for Safari Does Not Require Access to OS X's 'Root' Account

Why do the instructions for disabling the Adobe Reader plug-in for Safari say that one needs to do so from OS X's root account even though one only needs to authenticate using their administrator password to do so?

Uninstalling plug-ins for Safari, but not Firefox

Hi all,
I've been driving myself kind of nuts over this. Is there a way for a plug-in to be installed only for Firefox and not Safari? I like the built-in PDF reader in Safari, but I want the Schubert-IT PDF browser plug-in for Firefox. Both browsers share the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder, but it seems weird that we can't be selective in terms of which browser gets what.
If nothing else, is there maybe a Safari configuration file hiding somewhere that can be edited to exclude certain plug-ins?
Thanks,
Tim

The issue is that it's how you have it setup for PDF files.
Right or control click a PDF file you have stored on the hard drive then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel look for: Open with
All applications are set to open with a particular PDF viewer.

Having a problem downloading w/Adobe Reader Ver. 9.4.2 that does not occur with Ver 8.2.0

I use a screening service
for rental applicants that provides their reports in pdf format. I am unable to view or view some of their reports when using Adobe Reader Ver. 9.4.2. However, I can view and print all of their reports when using Adobe Reader 8.2.0.

There is no Adobe Reader version 9.4.2 (yet); the latest version is 9.4.0. If you do have 9.4.2, then it is most likely not a genuine Adobe Reader.

MacOS 10.9.3 and Adobe Reader 11.0.07 Tools, Sign option does not work

Hi,
When I open any PDF file, I am unable to access Tools and/or Sign option inside Adobe Reader. It is the same thing with both tools. Just empty. Nothing happens. Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Have you tried these suggestions on the HP site? Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader | HP® Support
I didn't notice where they may have said to be sure you have the very latest print drivers installed but, you should install them if you haven't already.

Wmp plugin for safari does not work!

I installed Windows Media Player plugin but anyway I can't see this page:

It appears that the problem did stem from being connected via a free wireless ISP. Odd that the problem occurred only in Safari, and not in Mozilla.

Adobe Reader plug-in for Safari can't find Adobe Reader

I keep Adobe Reader.app in Applications/Local-A/PDF Software. When I try to open a PDF in Safari (5.0.3), the plug-in can't find the reader. I have to point it there each time I open Safari. I would have thought it would know where to look after the first time, but it doesn't. How do I permanently tell the plug-in where to look?

Hi,
Default install of Adobe Reader X package has Browser plug-in checked for install. Did you customize your installation and unchecked this option which indicates you dont want to install browser plug-in. Other possibility could be that you are using both Reader 9 and Reader X in your system and after Reader X install, you have updated Reader 9 assuming updating 9.4.0 to 9.4.1. This will change the plug-in version back to 9.4.1 (latest update).
One way to have version X is rerun Reader X installer and it will repair your plug-in to version 10.0.0. As an advise do not use both Reader 9 and Reader X in same system (though this is possible). You can simply delete version 9 application and continue working with Reader X installed.
Secondly to answer your question that Safari keeps on asking to choose Reader application, what you can do is open com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist in /Library/Preferences in any plist viewer. It should have a key - WebBrowserUsePath. This should be pointing to correct reader application on your system. Normally its value is something like - file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
In your case you have moved Adobe Reader.app to /Applications/Local-A/PDF Software/Adobe Reader.app
So change the value of this key to point to correct application. Here it should be - file://localhost/Applications/Local-A/PDF%20Software/Adobe%20Reader.app/
This will ensure that Safari does not prompt you again.
Thanks,
Karan

Does Adobe Reader have the plug-in to display the word definition when moving mouse over the word?

Hi,
I would like to know if Adobe Reader has such plug-in that displays the word definition when the user moves the mouse over the word.
Basically I think it needs to
detect what word is presented under the cursor
look up the word in the dictionary or source file e.g.xml
pop up the definition of the word, which can be a translation or definition
It would be great if user can actually customize this dictionary file/source file.
Do you think there is such plug-in?
Many thanks for your help/advice here.
Cheers
SX

Hi,
When I use Adobe Reader “look up” function, it takes me to dictionary.com. I am wondering if Adobe Reader allows me to customize this look up function, so I can use another website or my offline dictionary, instead of going to dictionary.com.
Many thanks for your help/advice.

How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?

how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.

Hello-
I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
Hope this helps.

It's only possible for download 8.x.x version with russian interface (9.x.x is not possible way in my case). I did't find 8.2.0 version with russian interface for download and I cannot apply 8.2.1 patch. When I try to update 8.1.3 version by Adobe Reader menu I have message like "no available pathes".

Reflow in Adobe Reader for Android does not work

The reflow option in my Adobe reader for Android does not work. The PDF book I am trying to read is too wide to be legible when I fit it into the screen (even in landscape), but the reflow button doesn't change that. When I click it, nothing happens. The only thing I know to do is to uninstall and re-install, but that did not work. Any other tips or ideas?

Mehwish,
Thank you so much for responding, and so quickly. I appreciate it.
It does not appear as though the PDF I am trying to read would have an element in it that would block it from reflow, but that is always possible. It’s a textbook, and I understand that toward the end of the book there are some charts and diagrams, but I haven’t gotten to those chapters yet. So far, I’ve just been trying to use the Adobe Reader to read the introduction and first chapter and nothing I have done has made it reflow.
I’m enclosing a copy of the entire book. Perhaps you can uncover something in it that I didn’t see.
Thanks again for you help.

Adobe Reader for Blackberry Does Not Support Fillable Forms

I've discovered that the version released for Android does support fillable forms, but the version for Blackberry does not. I assume Blackberry did not develop the app so what gives?

Is there a way to add Adobe Reader directly to my website for legal documents?

Is there a way to add Adobe Reader directly to my website for legal documents? It is on Wordpress. [link removed by moderator]

Technically, you CAN embed a pdf so that it opens within the page. Use <embed src="http://yoursite.com/the.pdf" width="500" height="375">
But you'll want to test it with all browsers (assuming this is something you are trying to accomplish).
