FireFox plugin (Adobe Acrobat 10.1.9.22) isn't highlighting searched words, anymore

Hello, everyone.
I worked on a project, last year, that created Solr collections of PDF files, and allowed users to search the PDFs for whatever keywords the user enters.  One of the nice things about the project was that the FireFox plugin could read the keyword(s) entered by users and highlight them in the PDF being displayed within the browser.
When I first started on that project, I think we were using FireFox 17.  NetAdmins recently upgraded everyone's browsers to FF24.4 (plugin Acrobat 10.1.9.22) and this highlighting feature seems to have been removed.  OR, it could be that code needs to be updated in order for it to work as it once did.
What do I need to do to get the keyword highlighting in PDFs functional, again?  Or has the plugin been modified so that it won't work, anymore?  (This is a feature that our customer really likes.)
V/r,
^_^

It's not enough that the Adobe plugin is installed. You have to make sure it is actually being used... See here:

  • We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in a browser window. Is there a later version or other method ?

    We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in Acrobat and the pdf display within the browser window, as within our Online artwork Approval system we use the Acrobat Annotations server to annotate pdfs and publish to the server
    But we can no longer get this plugin to work! Is there a later version ? or is there another way of forcing the pdf to open in a Acrobat Reader application (not the Mac viewer) within the browser and not open another window to display the pdf in Acrobat?

    The latest version is 11.0.6. Whether that's available to you depends on the version of Mac OS you're running.

  • Help with opening a .PDF in browser (firefox) - have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extender installed

    Hi all,
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 ProExtender installed, whenever I go to my firefox options and change the .PDF setting to (USE ADOBE ACROBAT (in firefox)) setting, i get a screen which is whited out, and a message from Adobe Acrobat with a question mark (?), but no message is there to read.
    That is the scr
    een that pops up, I can back out and try the link again for it to work, but it does it to all my .PDF files I try to view on the page.  All I can do to prevent this is to save to disk, and open with adobe acrobat pro extender, but sometimes the file I need to look at are quick and would save a lot of time just opening it on the browser.
    Thanks for the help!

    Unfortunately, it's not that simple because Acrobat and Reader share files, and that's why Adobe recommends not to have them both installed in the same machine.

  • Upon closing Firefox 4, Adobe Acrobat Professional opens

    Sometimes closing Firefox 4 causes Adobe Acrobat Professional to open (in its own program) and display an error message of "Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again." Is there a way to prevent this?

    I am tired of this happening and no one can give a fix, so after using firefox for years, my only suggestion is go back to ie.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 can't make pdf files in 2003 Word

    Hello, Can you help me?
    I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro four years ago when I went onto Windows 7 as I needed the 64 bit version. Prior to this I had Adobe Acrobat 7.
    Recently I have been unable to make PDF files in Word although it is working in all the other Word applications and through the HP scanner.
    It also won’t make PDF files through the Adobe programme and comes up with the message “Missing PDF files”and the repair command fails to save the problem.
    I am using Word 2003 but prior to now the programme has worked without a problem.
    Can you tell me how to solve the problem as I need the facility as I manage numerous websites for different charities.
    My serial number is 1118-1780-5717-0649-5947-1289 and I am reluctant to unload the programme incase I can’t reload it.
    I have tried to load Acrobat 7 onto my laptop which still has Windows Vista on it.  The serial number for this is 1016-1284-2194-6099-0208-1387 but it refuses to activate this.  Can you advise me on this ?
    I am desperate..
    Many thanks, Sheila

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Wizard isn't detecting form fields?

    Hi there,
    I've been scouring various forums, blogs, etc. to find an answer to my problem, and have yet to be successful.  Here it is:
    I've created a form in Illustrator CS5 using the rectangle shape tool to indicate form fields.  I need users to be able to enter information in each of the specified fields.  I've saved the file as a .PDF and have opened it into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.  I then select "Start Form Wizard" from the Forms menu, and after making the appropriate selections it tells me: "No new form field annotations were detected." and then prompts me to the form editing page.  I've also tried simply selecting "Add or Edit Fields" from the Forms menu and the same thing happens - it isn't detecting any form fields.
    The only time the Form Wizard or Add or Edit Fields options work is if I use underlines instead of boxes as the form fields, but I'd really prefer to use the boxes since they lend themselves to the aesthetics of the document much better. 
    I'm new to converting Illustrator files into interactive .PDFs, so I'm not sure what I should be doing.  The background color of the document is grey and the boxes are white with no outline (I tried it with an outline around the boxes and it still didn't work).  Any advice would be much appreciated!  Thanks.
    Beth

    Hi Beth
    How big are  these fields? Are they for entering text or just check boxes?
    I have found that sometimes FormWizard is not compatible with some Quark files.
    Sounds like it might be easier for you to do the fields manually.
    First draw the field like you want it and set that as the default then you can choose to paste multiple fields.
    Also if you want to use a line for FormWizard you can make the background of the field white and cover the line with it.

  • My adobe acrobat 9 standard does not work recently for converting word documents to pdf - what up?

    why would adobe acrobat 9 standard stop working for converting word docs to pdf?

    Are you running at least version 9.2 of Acrobat? Are you able to log in with a new user account on Windows to see if it works?

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 won't pick up links in Word doc ...

    That's it really, in a nutshell.
    My new Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 doesn't pick up the bookmarked and url links in my Word doc.
    As it's new, I'm wondering if it's just a settings problem?
    I'd be grateful for any help. I've been referred all over the place today with this problem - spoken to one Adobe type person after another, and none of them know the answer.
    Thanks for listening anyway!

    Yes, Geoff and Bill ...I had already done all that.
    But it is picking up some links and not others ... breaking some in half even.
    For instance, on the Word doc, I have the hyperlink 'National Health Service', but all Acrobat picks up is 'Health Service'. The link goes to right bookmark in the Glossary for National Health Service, but the description is incomplete, just 'Health Service'.
    In another instance, I have a series of links to bookmarked items in the same Glossary, which are separated by commas, thus:

    What can acutonics be used for?
    Comparable to many other similar therapies, acutonics can be used as a general tool to aid the bodys spirit. It has also been used to treat a number of other ailments, very differing in type, such as: respiratory, gynaecological, musculo-skeletal, urogenital, gastrointestinal, emotional and psychological, in addition to many other chronic and debilitating conditions.[/quote]
    The words "gynaecological, musculo-skeletal, urogenital, gastrointestinal" are each individually hyperlinked to different parts of the Glossary. But Acrobat only recognises the two middle ones - musculo-skeletal, urogenital. And for the other two, even the word disappears, so you just have blank, musculo-skeletal, urogenital, blank. It does, however, manage to 'see' the commas.
    I hope someone can help, because it doesn't make any kind of sense to me, and I'm at my wits end.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 hangs when text is highlighted

    When I have a pdf open in Adobe Acrobat Pro and I highlight some text within the document, (preparing to copy part of it), it hangs and I get the following message:
    "Adobe Acrobat 8.0 has stopped working".  It "checks for a problem" but then simply closes and I lose whatever I've been doing.  :-(  Any suggestions?

    Also check if there are updates for Acrobat 8.x available.

  • Adobe Acrobat. Change "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, ..." also for highlights made before changing the setting

    I am looking for a solution to apply the "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" setting to highlights that I made before I changed this setting.
    Someone wrote a batch for this which costs 60 dollar and this seems to do what I am looking for: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Retroactively Copy Highlighted Text into Comments
    Where can I find Adobe's solution for this problem?  I do not want to buy external batches for a professional software suit.
    I expect that this is a common problem for people who start to organize a large literature base with many pdfs and must keep track of highlighted text. I was not previously aware of the "Copy selected..."setting, but I need to change it now for all my pdf files to make them compatible with a reference manager that I want to use. New comments are now compatible, but the hundreds(!) of pdfs that I worked through before are not, so copy pasting the highlighted text into comments is not an option.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI hangs when text is highlighted

    When I repeatedly highlight text in yellow in a document, Adobe will hang.  I will get a small blue circle that flutters that last about 30 seconds, then everything is fine.  I have checked for updates and none are available.  Out of ten highlights, it will hang at least 5 times.

    Problem solved.
    I have a solid state encrypted hard drive.  The drive was slowing down and getting "gummy" because the drive had not been able to do its self-maintenance.  The solution was to reboot and post the computer to the Bios and let it run overnight.

  • Acrobat 9.0 pro extended: copying / pasting highlights to word

    Hi there
    I've highlighted a number of paragraphs in a document, thinking that I would then just be able to quickly select the highlights and copy and paste them into a word doc. But although I can select a highlight, I can't copy / paste it :-/ Any help would be much appreciated! :-) Thank you in advance :-)

    I need help.
    Have someone this problem?

    Hi,
    did you search the Mozilla forum for this issue? I don't think that the JDeveloper 11 forum is the right place to post this problem if it is an Adobe/Mozilla issue

  • Update to Adobe Acrobat failed because it said I had a more functional product installed.

    I have no idea what more functional product I have installed. Also, when I clicked on my plugin Adobe Acrobat to update, the update said Adobe Reader. Are they the same?

    Thanks. I removed Adobe Reader, then clicked on the Update Now box for Adobe Acrobat in my Firefox plug-ins. This time the installation worked, but after closing my browser and opening it again, in my plug-ins list it still says to Update Now. Adobe Reader X (10.1.4) is now in my programs list so I don't know why.
