How do I remove adobe plug-in?

So 2-3 years ago I didn't like the way Safari displayed or was unable to view PDF's in Safari. So I downloaded a plug-in that enabled me to see PDF's in the same way you see them in acrobat reader.
Now, I like the way Safari does this on it's own and I would like to disable/remove this plug in so I can use preview more easily to view PDF's
How do I start? I Don't remember where I got the plug-in.

Daniel,
1. Open Adobe Reader>Preferences...>Categories>Internet>Web Browser Options> [ ] Uncheck "Display PDF browser using:"
2. Quit Safari or any other browsers.
3. Then, in Finder navigate to:
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Internet Plug-ins
(or) Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
(and) move the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin (I no longer have it installed to give you the precise name) to the Desktop.
4. Restart Safari or your desired browser.
If you have different PDF Viewer/Browser plug-in other than Adobe, just use the same procedure.
You can reserve the PDF viewer or trash it at your discretion.
;~)

  • Question: how to get the adobe plug in to play a downloaded flv file ?

    I want to know how to get the flv adobe plug in which i downloaded as a result abc or nbc or cbs.com i forget exactly which said i had to and also it seems to be used for playing most all videos from web such as those from utube,hulu, etc. So my question is how do i get the plug in to play any downloaded *.flv video ?  The particulars on the one i have is:
    Output folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
    Execute: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_plugin.exe"
    Extract: NPSWF32.dll
    Extract: NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
    Extract: flashplayer.xpt
    also perhaps FLVPlayer.swf of about 9Kb may have something to do with it?
    And the latest update i have was about jan 13 when it seemed to automatically take over my system and update itself.x
    I know it has the ability to do what i want- which is full screen cropped ,change aspect ratios etc. and seems
    It has to be able to or else it could not play the files and give those options which it does on some videos like from utube etc. in the first place. Unfortuneately it has something also to do with the useless *.swf files which are apparently of no use to anything and could certainly be eliminated .
      I have downloaded several freebie flv players such as bs player etc. etc. but they all have so many faults and are not suitable. Bs player does what i want but it hangs , have to go to system mgr. to get out of it sometimes , often difficult to use etc.etc. The main features is i need is to be able to make and play playlists to automatically in full screen one after the other in a specified order with NO user intervention and the ability to magnify or 'pan in' i guess they call it and change aspect ratios so that i can have full screen as if just cropping part of horizontal such as if want to view a 16/9 aspect ratio on a computer as i have with the prior standard 4/3 aspect and change a downloaded vertically stretched to a cropped instead etc.
        Also it doesn't make sense to download others and take up disk space when already have the adobe - also adobe seems to be the only one that plays hulu flv's correctly - on other flv players the video and audio are way out of sync and not just by few seconds but often by a minute or more. I know there is another 'pain' way to do it which is create a *.avi or other extension with loss of clarity etc. which have done but would like to be able to just do it in real time while playing the flv file itself as for example
    as bs player does.
       Anyway if there is no way to get adobe to do this does anyone know of any other free flv player downloads which will do what
    i want - basically playlists, magnify , pan,crop and still full screen, change aspect ratios -  other than bs player ?

    The plugin is what it is: a browser plugin - it cannot act as a standalone player.
    To play local flv files you either need to
    download/install the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    download/install Adobe Media Player http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/

  • How do I remove "Adobe Flash Install Manager" malware

    This morning when I started the Macbook Pro 13", OSX 10.9.5, a pop-up box came up asking me to enter my system password for the "completer" to make changes. I cancelled the box without giving my password. In the Apple support community for OSX 10.7 general opinion seems to be that it is caused by Genieo, but I don't find it or any related items in my computer. I think the culprit is "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager" in Applications-Utitlities. I must have downloaded it thinking it was a legit Adobe Flash update. If I try to trash it I get a pop-up saying Finder wants to make a change and asking for password. How can I remove this?

    Thank you for the reply. I've tried to follow Apple's instructions but I didn't find any of the files mentioned or listed there.
    If you're having an app named "Completer" asking for your password, Genieo is definitely installed. If you didn't find anything, my guess would be that you were not looking in the right places. Go back and follow Apple's instructions more carefully. If those instructions are giving you trouble, use the AdwareMedic app that Kurt recommended. It will automatically find and remove all components of Genieo.

  • How do I remove Adobe creative cloud with broken uninstall links

    How do I remove creative cloud with broken uninstall links

    Thanks Nitin but I don't want to delete Illustrator as it is installed as part of the Adobe Technical Communication Suite and is under that licence, not the Creative Cloud licence. The version ends with a 0 which in another thread I was told by an Adobe person confirms it is perpetual licence version, not the CC version.
    The CC installation has no installed apps under the CC licence.
    Is there any way from the Adobe end that your records can confirm I am not using any part of the CC licence I have?

    I hate this version I want 9 back but want to remove X first. Heaven forbid Adobe have an uninstall.

    Thanks sig,
    That worked. I then went to http://get.adobe.com/reader/completion/?installer=Reader9.4_English_for_MacIntel to download AR 9.4 and it is working like a champ.
    FYI - AR X seems very powerful, but it I do not need the additional features. And what I did need, X was lacking. I need the Find/Search box in the toolbar which X does not have, it requires you to open Find, an extra step. Also, when printing, I hated how I needed to go to the Printer button, at the bottom of the AR print screen, just to set things like Layout and Paper Feed, etc. It will be interesting to see how other react to X.
    I appreciate all the help.
