Firefox is preventing adobe reader to be installed.

To down load tax forms I need the adobe to work. The icon
is on our screen. I click on the irs line to take me to adobe
installation. On the page for installing the note "firefox is
preventing" is shown on the top left of the page.

Did you find out what was happening? I'm having similar trouble with Flex/AIR on Mac which started happening after accepting an automatic upgrade to Reader 11. However I am finding that reinstalling 9.4 then letting it update to 9.5.2 will get it working again. At that point I have 9 installed which AIR uses and 11 installed which Finder uses as default for opening PDFs. AIR breaks again if I reinstall 11 and I have to repeat the process with installing 9.4 and the 9.5.2 update again. So it's not a very customer friendly solution. Hoping you might have found a better answer?

  • Adobe Reader will not install to my IMac OSX 100.7.5

    When I have a program open and want to download a PDF file that is when I get message to install Adobe Reader in order to print the PDF, when I try to download the Reader it either goes through the install action and says it is downloaded or it tells me the Adobe Reader is already installed.  Message doesn't matter because it is not downloaded and installed.  The only thing I find in my Finder download section is the Adobe Reader install download.  I have tried this so many times.  When I first got my Mac I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player with no problem.  Any suggestions?

    Ok. Thanks Mike.
    It would be nice if Adobe published the correct information then.
    The Flash Player page specifically shows 12.0.0.4 for Safari, FireFox and Opera. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Correct info would have prevented a pointless waste of time. The other Flash Player test page also reports the wrong information when viewing via Safari and FF.

  • Prevent Adobe application manager  auto install downloaded software

    I used Adobe application manager to download a trial version of photoshop cs6, but I need to install it at another time. Adobe application manager instead installs photoshop immediately.
    How Can I prevent Adobe application manager to install downloaded software automatically?

    You can only download a trial once, so you need to download it when you can use it.

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

  • Dev question: how to prevent Adobe Reader from copying pdfs to "Download/Adobe Reader"?

    I am making an app that downloads pdf files from a server and the users can decide to store them in the phone. Those files are kept in the app's private storage.
    The pdf files can be opened from inside the app. The problem is that every time a pdf is opened, adobe reader copies it in "Download/Adobe Reader" (the path may be different depending on the device and the android version). Those pdf files should not be available from outside my app. How can I prevent adobe reader from creating copies in that folder? Do I really have to make my app track them down and delete them? It wouldn't be the safest solution...
    In order to open the files, I se up a content provider:
    from the manifest:
    <provider
        android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="com.example.myapp.fileprovider"
        android:exported="false"
        android:grantUriPermissions="true" >
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
            android:resource="@xml/filepaths" />
    </provider>
    And then, in a method, I do this:
    File pdfToRead = new File(pdfPath);
    Uri uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "com.example.myapp.fileprovider", pdfToRead);
    for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : appsList) {
        String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
        context.grantUriPermission(packageName, uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
    openPDF(context, uri);
    public static final void openPDF(Context context, Uri localUri) {
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        i.setDataAndType(localUri, PDF_MIME_TYPE);
        context.startActivity(i);
    Thanks for the help.

    Meh, I just hoped there was a way to tell acrobat "don't create a copy of the file because it's private". For now, I'm detecting the "downloads/Adobe Reader" folder, look if there's the file that was opened and delete it.
    Now I need to know something that I can't ask on stackoverflow: what paths does Adobe Reader use to create the "Adobe Reader" folder? Because not every device has an external sd card (external, not removable. Just for clarity). In my device it's at "Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)+"/Adobe Reader".

    ADOBE READER WOULD NOT INSTALL. STATES "ACCESS DENIED"

    Hi dharamsishah,
    Are you still facing this issue?
    The computer you trying to get Reader installed on it. Is it your own computer or work computer?
    It seems you might not have permission to install application.
    You may try to create a new user profile with admin rights and then try installing again.
    Regards,

  • Do I uninstall adobe reader when I install Acrobat?

    Should I uninstall adobe reader when I install Acrobat? or is there a reader program embedded in acrobat?

    Hi Bill@VT,
    The application installing 2nd (or later) always asks "whether the user wants to provide default PDF ownership or not" during the installation. (Please also refer to Image attached)
    I would like to understand, if there is any common use case where the system decides by itself about the PDF owner when both Acrobat & Reader are installed.
    Thanks.

  • Site tells me Adobe Reader is not installed when it is.

    We're experiencing the following issue:
    We attempt to go to various web sites (we work in insurance, so have a number of company sites that use PDF documents in the page).  Initially, we went through a series of calls to these companies and were told to "check the 'display pdf in browser' option".  Doing so fixed the issue for some, but others continue to present a message that reads: "You do not have Adobe Reader installed which is required to use our site.  Download it here..."  We do have it installed and it is in use for other web sites.
    This affects multiple Windows XP systems in a domain where a group policy is in place preventing user access to edit the HKLM portion of the registry.  This affects both users of our Citrix TS environment and local PC users.
    We suspect it has some conflict with the group policy and I'm curious if others have seen this situation.

  • Adober Reader 9.3 install fails

    I have installed and uninstalled Adobe 9.3. in XP Home.  It still tells me that it has encountered a problem and must close. I need it to print PDF and FDF forms for my bulk mailing.

    The assumption that everyone wants an IE BHO, or a Firefox plugin for that matter, for Reader is presumptuous.
    We, for example, do not read PDF documents in a browser. Some earlier versions of Reader did not force BHO installation.
    So, we have three choices:
    Install a different PDF reader.
    This option was considered when the same installation problem was encountered when Adobe Reader 8 was announced and queries through Adobe's official channels received no response. We remained on v7.1 instead.
    Patch the installation to ignore the IE version and install an IE BHO that cannot be used by IE 5.5.
    Patch the installation to eliminate the forced installation of IE BHO by asking if it is wanted.
    Option 1 is most likely result since it does not require any effort on our part.
    Perhaps I shall spend an hour or so one day to implement option 2. But I currently have a device driver completion date approaching..
    Adobe should spend 30 minutes one day to implement option 3 as a CLI parameter.
