How to disable adobe reader in safari

I am aware there is this thread on basically the same problem How can I regain Preview as my default PDF browser in Safari?.
However my circumstances are a bit different.
One of my content vendors uses FileOpen to lock their PDFs and that is why I even bothered to install adobe (v10.1.4). Thru the install process I was careful not to have adobe become the default viewer by checking all the relevant boxes I saw.
When I go to Finder and doubleclick on a PDF, they are still opened by Preview. Right click->Get Info does show Preview as default viewer.
However in Safari, Adobe has taken over despite in Adobe->Preferences->display pdf in browser is not only unchecked but grayed out. But even though grayed out, right below that checkbox shows Adobe Reader.app is the browser view and I see no way of changing it.
In Library/Internet Plug-ins there are NO pdf plug ins. In fact I have only a single one (picasa).
I am not aware how to get to Username/Library/Internet Plug-ins as the reference thread talks about.
Whatever the solution, I still need adobe working on my machine otherwise I cannot view the content from that one vendor.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

thanks, Linc. interesting suggestion. It shows the following unfortunately. The background: I initially installed adobe reader 11.0.01 but discovered the production version of FileOpen does not work with it. So I uninstalled it and installed 10.1.4 instead. But looks like some parts of it lingers.
Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 11.0.01
Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 11.0.01 — from file “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”.

  • How do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs?

    how do I disable Adobe Reader from opening pdfs in Safari? I tried unchecking the box for opening pdfs in browser under Adobe's Internet prefs, but that didn't seem to work.

    Hello-
    I actually saw a solution to this earlier today. To disable PDF viewing in safari, first quit safari, then open terminal, and type in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
    To re-enable PDF viewing in safari simply open the terminal, and change the "YES" in the command above to a "NO"
    Hope this helps.

  • How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?

    There is an existing thread, but I want to re-open it because I think this is an important feature that we need badly.  I was wondering if there is any plan to add this feature so we can open PDFs directly into Adobe from the web / other apps.
    How to open Adobe Reader file from another native IOS application?
    Basically, we just want to use a custom URL scheme to open a specific document in the App.  Currently, this only opens the app but does not load the file.
    APB

    Not to hijack the conversation but I can explain why this would be useful for both the above case and another.
    What I believe Pavel is talking about is setting up a "URL Scheme" for the Adobe Acrobat iOS application so that you can easily open a PDF specifically in Adobe Acrobat iOS from other native applications and even from web applications opened within Safari. This is particularly useful if your application requires some of the specific features in Adobe Reader iOS to grant them the best experience possible and you want to encourage this.
    Another case: If you're using Adobe Livecycle's document security modules (that encrypts PDF files so that Adobe Acrobat must "phone home" to decrypt and view the document), these PDF's can only be viewed inside the Adobe Acrobat application and appear as blank in most other PDF readers. Having a URL scheme allows your application utilising this functionality to have a 1 click step to view the PDF rather than the current non-user friendly process:
    - Within Safari, touch the PDF link (appears as blank in the default Safari PDF reader, which in itself is confusing)
      - Touch "Open in..."
      - Touch "Adobe Acrobat"
    We have an immediate need for this functionality for the example above. I can resubmit it in a separate post if necessary.

  • HT1338 how to download adobe reader on macbook pro

    how to download adobe reader on macbook pro?

    First of all, I want you to know that Mac OS X already has the ability to open and read PDF files. You do it with the Preview application. Also, on the Mac Adobe Reader is the third most vulnerable application to security risks. That is due to exploit are delivered through PDF files.
    If you decide to download it you should still stick to using Preview to open PDF files and only use Adobe Reader in the few cases that Adobe Reader is absolutely required. Preview is not vulnerable to the same exploits as Adobe Reader because it does not have all the capabilities as Adobe Reader.
    To get Adobe Reader go to: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Click on the download button. Once the download completes install the software.

  • Adobe Reader does not work-how to use adobe reader on Lion

    I was trying to print an international label on eBay via Adobe Reader, and was very dissapointed and shocked that it does not work on Lion.
    I was so happy that I figured out how to use adobe reader on Lion, and hope I can help anyone else who is frusterated too.
    Step 1. Download Google Chrome
    Step 2. Printe your international label, or whatever you need to do that uses Adobe Reader

    Thanks Shelly! I too was having trouble and thought it was something wrong with my Mac. I still have a big though. When I try to print the saved pdf file, I get a pop-up that says "The document could not be printed. There are no selected pages to print" even though I am looking at the complete doc. It's there and in my print prompt "all pages" are selected to print. The way I got around this, is by emailing the pdf file to a gmail address and viewing the attachment via Google Docs. It loads perfectly and prints without a problem.
