How to get Adobe Reader to work in browsers on linux

I am running LMDE 64 bit on one PC and a X-enabled Ubuntu Server installation on another (also 64 bit).
Is it possible, under either of these scenarios to get Adobe Reader plugin to work on any browser?
I need to access pdf files using Adobe Reader inside a browser. My preference is Google Chrome, but happy to use Firefox too.
Currently, when I use Chrome, I have turned off the built-in Chrome PDF Viewer, as it does not handle the forms I need to use. But now when selecting a pdf, the only option is to download and open it in Adobe itself, which also does not work for my needs.
In Firefox, the settings for content handling on pdf only gives the option to open it outside of Firefox... again, no good.

Hi
Please See the below link for mozilla ...http://kb.mozillazine.org/Adobe_Reader

See if that helps....

  • How do I get to preview when I want to see a bank statement? I cannot get adobe reader to work. It just shows a black screen.

    How does previews work when trying to see a bank statement?

    Is your bank statement a PDF file? If so, simply double clicking it will open whatever is the default reader of PDF files. (A way to check is to select any PDF file in the Finder, go to File > Get Info, and look at the "Open With" drop down. By default, without Adobe Reader installed, it should show Preview. If Adobe Reader is installed correctly, it might say "Adobe Reader." BTW, you can change it back to Preview!)
    It's also possible to control click or right click the file and choose the application to open the file using the Open With option. If Preview isn't an option, click "Other" and navigate to the Applications folder to select Preview.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I get adobe reader to work on windows 8?

    I adobe 6 on windows 8.  It won't work when I try to print anything, telling me the program cannot be found.  When I try to reinstall a newer version, I'm told my existing adobe is not compatible, but I can't reinstall because I'm told I already have it installed. 
    Help!

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from 
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

  • How do I get Adobe reader to work with Mozilla or internet explorer? I cannot open files unless I download to my desktop.

    When I try to read PDF files I get a message that says" The Adobe Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Exit and try again. This happens with bot Internet Explorer and Mozilla. I can only open if I download the document to my desktop.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when we got our windows 7.

  • How to get Adobe Reader to open IE 8 pdf(s) over Adobe Acrobat???

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 installed on my Windows 7 32 computer.  I also have Adobe Reader 10 installed.  Everything was working fine until recently and after using the Acrobat 8 to edit some documents, I could no longer open a pdf. in Internet Explorer 8.   If I try to view a PDF in Internet Explorer 8, I get the message that Adobe that's open can't read the file. 

    So do I need to remove Acrobat 8?  That program was so expensive and has created one nightmare after another.  I can't afford to replace it butseems I can't afford to use it either (if I can't do my online research).  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks for responding!

  • I can't get adobe reader to work

    I updated to the OS  X 10.7.3 and now the adobe reader won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this or what I can do???

    Ok so you are trying to open internet pdf links in you browser. The latest version of Adobe Reader doesn't work with Mac browsers. In the finder navigate to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and trash any Adobe plug-ins that are in that folder. You will have to enter your password to do that. Safari should then open pdf files with its built in pdf reader. If you are using Firefox then you should add the Schubert PDF Plug-In to it. If you don't have a specific need for the Adobe Reader then you would be better off uninstalling it and using the Preview app for your pdfs.

  • Get Adobe Reader to work

    I have Adobe Reader XI installed but it does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Walter,
    I would love to help you get this sorted out. When you say Reader doesn't work, what, specifically is the issue? Are you unable to open it, or does it return errors, or does it simply not do what you want it to do?
    Let me know what's happening, and I'll do my best to help!
    Best,
    Sara

  • I can't get Adobe Reader to work on my MAC OS X 10.8.5

    I have installed the newest version of Adobe Reader and when I go to print pdf document it won't open the document at all and says I need to install the latest version of Adobe Reader. I keep repeating all the steps only to keep having the same problem.

    The lack of security updates requires me to update any old OS. Unless you never connect to anything on the Internet with the computer OR you never have anything to protect on your computer running such a computer leaves you open to theft, fraud, etc. The major problem with Mavericks and soon with OS X.X is unfamiliarity. Sure they have features we don’t like. But I bet so did the one you are running, when you upgraded to it.
    Having said that I really got miffed when I was required to update my TV to work with digital signals. I have no trouble telling people to upgrade their computer, but ask me to upgrade my TV those were fighting words.

  • Can't open pdf items in safari, and can't get adobe reader installed/working

    can't open pdf documents/can't download and open adobe reader on imac

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 4
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 5
    Do as in Step 3 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Cannot get adobe reader to work to print off bank statements

    Can anyone help me with this one: The patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exits and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer patch package.

    Assuming that you are on Windows, I suggest that you uninstall / reinstall Adobe Reader.
    If you also have difficulties doing that, try http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
