How to detect if the display pdf in browser is checked for Adobe Acrobat 9

How to programatically detect if the "Display PDF in browser" option is checked/unchecked in the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro preferences? In earlier version it was possible to determine with navigator.plugins. Please help.

Please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e. 10.1.2 and enable the double sided printing as in the below figure:

Reader X " display PDF in browser" is checked but greyed out

Hello
I have a user who wanted to print double sided by default when opening a PDF on a web page. I found that by downloading the PDF, not printing from a browser, the user can print double- sided. But when I go in preferences the option to uncheck " display PDF in Browser" is greyed out? I'm tried running reader as admin, logging out and logging in as admin, restarting the PC, running all updates. I was going to edit the registry next but wanted to see if anyone had been having this problem? THee is no Acrobat on this Dell laptop, only Reader X. It is a Windows 7 PC, fairly new. Any help would be appreciated.

Please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e. 10.1.2 and enable the double sided printing as in the below figure:

Enabling/disabling the 'display PDF in browser' via a script after Reader 9 is installed

So we have Reader 9 already installed on the machine, but we need a simple way that a user can click on a shortcut in the start menu to reconfigure how the PDF is opened - either from within the browser or outside of the brower.
In Reader 7, I was able to use this:
msiexec.exe /i {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A71000000002} Remove=ReaderBrowserIntegration /norestart /qb-!
msiexec.exe /i {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A71000000002} ADDLOCAL=ReaderBrowserIntegration /norestart /qb-!
which works well after the fact that Reader 7 is installed on the machine.
For Reader 9, things have changed, and have tried this:
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi /qn DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION=YES
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi /qn DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION=NO
The above don't work, nor if I run a repair instead of an install. I also tried to modify the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals\bBrowserIntegration then following in up with the appropriate msiexec command and that didn't work
No, asking users to go to the options and enable/disable the setting isn't ideal unfortunately as it requires too many clicks
Anybody have any suggestions on this?

How do you get the display message to appear only one for each case?

Hi Friends,
I am here with another question....
I have built a VI that should contain 6 checkboxes, when a particular checkbox is selected by the user it should display a message to the user of which checkbox is checked.
My problem is: when I select one of the checkboxes the display message appears continously one after the other, even when the OK button is pressed.
Can anyone help me please??

HT5361 how do I see the wheel that shows Mail is checking for new mail?

When I click on Get Mail, there used to be a wheel next to each account that shows it is checking. That 'wheel' is no longer there. Is this something I can turn on/off?

It doesn't exist anymore in Mountain Lion.

Dear Support.

The "Display PDF in browser" is checked and grayed. I need to uncheck.
No other PDF-Software is installed.
I try to edit the Registry CurrentUser/Software/Adobe Acrobat/10.0/Originals - not worked
The User will work over an CitrixTermianlserver

Hi
Please Check the Below Registry Entry :
Lock Path
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown
10.0 and later: The application checks the key corresponding to the "blessed" application that is named in the hard-coded key name at HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe. For example, if the value is "C:\Program Files\Acrobat 10\Adobe Acrobat.exe, then Acrobat 10 checks HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\Originals\bBrowserIntegration.
11.0: deprecated.
NOTE
: HKLM\bBrowserIntegration = 0 locks in whatever is already set in HKCU, so set both HKLM and HKCU.

Disable "Display PDF in browser" | Acrobat, Reader XI

I understand this is the suggested method of disabling the "Display PDF in browser" is http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html However we would like to know if there is an API or something we can simply remove from the workstation to disable "Display PDF in browser".
Where is and what's the name of the file IE loads for "Display PDF in browser"
Is there a Reg Key that we can modiefy to Disable "Display PDF in browser"?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer.
Ed

From the KB note: "Acrobat XI and Reader XI do not include a preference setting to open web-based PDFs. "
In other words, what you want is already the default. All of the major browsers have their own PDF viewer. Moreover, the old reg pref "disable browser integration" never worked across all browsers due to the number of browsers and the rate at which they were evolving. That pref is removed in 11.x products.
While I don't understand the question in your first bullet, the default browser behavior seems to be what you are looking for. Browser behavior should be configured with browser settings rather than Acrobat/Reader settings.

"Display PDF in Browser" setting - $500 reward for the solution

The corporate policy requires the "Display PDF in Browser" setting to be unchecked for all applications, this is to open the PDF document in new reader instance but our specific application needs the reader to be opened in the same browser even if the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work? I am looking for programatic way to set this preference in HTML javasript or Java Applet or ActiveX or any other means. I am currently using JS and Object tag, the only functions that we need at this point are page navigation and getting current page using JS.
Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser? How can this be progrmatically achieved without altering the original PDFs?
I realize that this may be difficult and am looking for workarounds or alternate solutions to meet my req. $500 for anyone who could can provide solution.. Please email me [email protected]
thanks,
- Ray

How to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi?

I'd like to how to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi.
Any help would be appreciated.

NeoChang:
You can modify the installation package using the Adobe Customization Wizard to toggle the "Display PDF in Browser" but I have not found a setting to disable JavaScript from the Wizard. I have created a script which makes the changes, but it has to be run for every user since that info is stored in the User hive of the Windows registry.
Disable JavaScript:
REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableJS /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
Disable Browser Integration:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /v bBrowserIntegration /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

Acrobat 9 "Display PDF in Browser" on IE7 crashes the browser

Hi,
Here's what is happening. My company purchased a few licenses for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9, and they were installed on some of the company laptops. These laptops are in a UAC controlled SOE environment, so the employees are restricted to do any updates/installations that requires rights. The Adobe Professional 9 was installed through SCCM advertisement, and the "Display PDF in Browser" option was enabled.We discovered that when we attempt to download any pdf files off the web, the browser would stop responding/hangs during the duration of the downloads (shown at the status bar of IE), and we can only kill off the process.
The current workaround is to disable the "Display PDF in Browser" and download the file directly. However, it came to some points where the pdf documents contains some dynamic links over https on the site is is residing. In which case, the pdf have to be open to view from the secured site for the dynamic link to works.
Previously with Adobe Reader 9, we face no such issue. Only after we installed Acrobat Professional 9, this issue surfaces.
We have tried uninstalling the Reader before installing the Acrobat to prevent any chances of conflicts, problem persisted.
Here are the versions of the software involved.
Adobe Reader v9.3
Adobe Acrobat Professional v9.0.0
Internet Explorer v7.0.6002.18005
I have looked through the forums for similar cases, unless I have missed the keywords, I do not see any similar cases.
Has anyone encountered similar issues? Would appreciate if you could share on what was done to circumvent this. Thank you!
Jiang.

Hi broger_1,
Thanks for your reply.
In regards to your query:
Is the problem seen with both Reader and Acrobat?
No, this is only seen when Acrobat is install. It is working fine when only Reader is installed.
What is your definition of a dynamic link? Post example.
At the moment, I cannot find a online example for reference. I will try to describe by example.
Let's say if I goes to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_1.pdf, and the "Display PDF in Browser" was already enabled.
The content of the broc_1.pdf contains a hyperlink that points to "../broc_2.html"
Our issue now is the we can only download the pdf file to a folder, say c:/pdfs/broc_1.pdf, so when we tried to access the dynamic link, it will tries to locate c:/pdfs/broc_2.html, which is non-existence. And direct access to https://nonexistance_site.com/brochure_ folder/broc_2.html would not work for some reason (possibily session restriction, or something else).
What are your security settings? (is Enhanced Security enabled?)
This setting is currently disabled in the Acrobat Pro 9 preference. Should this stays as disabled?
This only happens when attempting to "download & display" any pdf files from the net, displaying of local pdf that is already downloaded is fine.

'Display PDF in browser' whats the default?

Can anyone tell me definitively what the current default setting has been for whether Preferences/Internet Options/'Display PDF in browser' is checked or unchecked?
I'm curious to know as well if it has changed with 8, 9, and 10?

For all three the default is "checked".
Be well...

Open PDF Slow Problem and Edit Registry to Disable "Display PDF in Browser"

There is around 400 users who were installed Acrobat Reader 9. But it is found that they open our intranet pdf very slow due to NETBIOS problem. The alternative solution is to disable the browser integration feature.
But how can I set Group Policy or Windows Registry to disable the "Display PDF in browser" feature for all the users?

If your users use Internet explorer, you can disable the add-on. to disable the add-on you will need to know the version of IE they are using. the most commonly used scripts to do that are kixstart or .VBS scripts.
e-mail me if you need any help with the script
