How do I get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in IE9?

I want PDFs to open w/in the internet explorer 9 browser, but they won't. I've tried to enable the add-on in IE9, but it's not even listed.

The steps to enable the Adobe PDF plug-in vary depending on your version of Internet Explorer.
     Select Tools > Manage Add-ons. (Or choose Tools > Internet Options, click the Programs tab, then click Manage Add-ons.)  
     In the Show pop-up menu, select All Add-ons. (In some versions the option is Add-ons That Have Been Used by Internet Explorer.)  
     Scroll to the section of add-ons for Adobe Systems, and select Adobe PDF Reader.  
     If the status of Adobe PDF Reader is set to Disabled, click the Enable button.

  • How do I get the Adobe PDF navigation bar to automatically appear at the top of my screen again instead of when I move my mouse?

    Before I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and updated Firefox to the latest version, when I opened a PDF document online, the PDF navigation/menu bar would automatically appear at the top of the screen. Now it only appears at the bottom in a blue bar when I move my mouse around.

    cor-el, thanks for the tip. While I certainly scoured Adobe's preference settings to look for something relating to that exact thing, I never went to their help site until I got your post. I found out that the floating toolbar appears because the PDF opens in'' Read Mode'', which you can turn off for all future documents by doing this:
    * Quit your internet browser
    * Launch Acrobat (or Reader)
    * Choose Edit>Preferences
    * Click on the Internet category on the left
    * Deselect “Display in Read Mode by default”
    * Click the OK button.
    * Relaunch Acrobat
    Something important to note, if you have both Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, you need to do the above in both programs (same steps).

  • Adobe PDF Reader add-on is not available.

    I can't get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in any browser (Chrome or IE).  It's not in any of the drop-downs under "Manage Add-ons" in IE.  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. with no success.
    Any ideas?

  • Adobe PDF Reader Add-on - IE11

    Hello,
    I work in a government organization and we are about the deploy IE11 to all of our machines. We've encountered an issue with how IE11 opens PDF. We want the PDF to open in IE11, and not open a separate Adobe Reader application. The fix we found so far was to disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, then re-enable. I also want to mention that we are pushing a group policy that does tweak a few settings. Here's what we are doing,
    Pop-up allow list (several websites)
    Prevent participation in the Customer Experience Improvement Program (enabled)
    Turn off pop-up management (disabled)
    Compatibility view
    Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites - Enabled
    Site to Zone Assignment List - Enabled
    Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls - Enabled
    Automatic prompting for file downloads - Enabled
    Logon option - Enabled
    Access data sources across domains - Enabled
    Would any of these cause an issue with the Adobe PDF reader add-on? (We are using Adobe Reader 11.0.09
    Thanks

    I am starting to believe this issue may be a registry entry in HKCU as I can get the add-on to work for longer periods of time if I remove the user's profile from the local PC and then have them log in to build a new profile...  the problem is that the add-on doesn't always continue to work, it just appears to work for a longer period of time before having to disable and enable the add-on again.
    As far as my install package goes, I created a transform file using the Adobe Customization Wizard with the following options:
    Personalization Options:
         Suppress display of EULA
    Installation Options:
         Make Reader the default PDF viewer
         Remove all versions
         Enable Optimization
         Enable Caching of installer files on local hard drive
         Run silently
         Prompt for reboot

         Left default values

         Left default values
    Shortcuts:
         Removed the Desktop shortcut
    Server Locations:

    Security:
         Protected View Off
         Enhanced Security Disabled for both Standalone and Browser
         Added our SAN, intranet and domain name to the privileged locations
         Prevented users from adding trusted files/folders and trusted hosts
    Digital Signature:
         Left default values
    Webmail Profiles
         Prevent end users from configuring Webmail profile
    Online Services and Features
         Disable Product Updates
         Load trusted root certs from Adobe - Enable & Install silently
         Disable Help > Purchase Adobe Acrobat

         Disable Product Improvement Program
         Disable all Adobe online services based workflows and entry points
    File Attachments:
         Left default values
    Launch Other Applications:

    I then created a VB Script to run the msiexec and reference the .msi and .mst files.  I created the SCCM package and program and reference the VB Script.  The installation works and the modified settings are there, so I know the .mst file is being referenced as well.  I'm still working on finding a resolution and hopefully one of us comes up with something solid soon.

  • Having to disable Adobe PDF Reader add-ons then enabling it.

    After updating through 11.0.02 -> 11.0.03 -> 11.0.07 (Not currently on 11.0.10), and before I go any further, we also are using IE11 w/Enterprise Mode and the latest version of Chrome. Also, users have Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.09. PDF's are set to open in Adobe Reader. Well, after updating Adobe Reader with the versions mentioned above, a user will open IE or Chrome and click on a link that should open a .PDF in another window or give the option to download it. When this happens, sometimes all the content can't be interacted with or it just doesn't open. The ONLY way I know of to fix this is to go in to IE, manage add-ons or Chrome://plugins, disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, close the browser, open the browser and enable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, restart the browser again. At that time, will the PDF's open properly.
    Is there something that can be done to prevent this from happening? One of the reasons I don't like to push out Adobe Reader updates in our district during the school year is because of this reason.
    Thanks

    But unfortunately I don't know what the cause of your problem could be.

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

    You don't download it. If you are on Windows, it gets installed as part of Acrobat Pro. If you are on a Mac, it has gone, killed by Apple.

    If you’re running the standalone version of FM, then the “headless” Acrobat comes with it; reinstall FM to repair that part. However, if you already had a full version of Acrobat installed, the FM installer may have screwed it up – you’ll have to uninstall all Acrobat(s) and reinstall.

    Watch out with Excel. As you use the High Speed Recorder to create the
    original file you will most probably create quite large files quite
    fast. Translating that into an ASCII spreadsheet would work fine in
    LabVIEW but Excel has a limitation that it can't open spreadsheet files
    above a certain number of rows. I do believe this is around 64k rows but
    it does a little vary depending on the number of columns you have.

    how do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

    Software is always safest directly from the developer or the App Store.
    There are numerous untrustworthy 'update' sites like Cnet & Softonic, & many users won't know that one is to be trusted (so far) but not most of the others.
    Adobe make Flash Player : get it from Adobe.
