How to reinstall Adobe Reader plugin?

Somehow Safari has lost its Reader plugin. Can somebody tell me how to put it back?
I still have Adobe Reader on my computer but when I click on a pdf link Safari now uses Preview again instead of Reader.
I already tried to download Reader and reinstall it but to no avail.
Many thanks for all your suggestions,
Eaglepeak

Check to see if the plugin is still in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/'. If it is, launch Adobe Reader and navigate to the 'internet' section of its preferences. Ensure that the plugin is enabled.

How to reinstall Adobe Reader (E6)

I uninstalled by mistake Adobe Reader on my E6.
Does anybody know how can I get it back? The trial version on QuickOffice website says I have to install the main package first (?), I've tried to restore it through the backup I had made on PC and on the phone but it didn't work...
Thanks.
Solved!

How to install adobe reader on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.?

I can't figure out how to install adobe reader on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. Can anyone help? I want the free version.
Thanks!

Please see How to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader for Android.
If you have not installed Adobe Reader for Android on the device before, you can just skip to the second section: How to reinstall Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader is a free PDF viewer. You can view PDF documents, add comments (e.g. sticky notes, highlight, freehand drawing, handwritten signatures), fill out forms, add personalized bookmarks, etc. Only extra features (e.g. converting from PDF to Word/Excel, converting from Word/Excel to PDF) require paid subscription services.
Please let us know if you have any further questions about installation.

How to delete old Adobe reader plugin from Safari?

Hi,
I can no longer view pdfs within Safari.
I deleted Adobe reader 7.0 and installed 11. Now Safari does not open embedded pdf's anymore. I suspect Safari is looking for reader 7.0. I think so, because in Safari>prefs>security>Internetplugins there is a list where both versions of reader are visible, the old version seems to be the active one.
I probably better had not deleted Reader 7.0 by hand...
How do I make Safari understand it should use Adobe Reader 11.0?
Thanks,
Wim

Exit Safari.
In Finder > Preferences > Sidebar, under DEVICES, check the top box which will be your assigned computer name. This will make it available to you in an open Finder window.
Open a new Finder window, scroll the left panel down until you see the DEVICES section, and single-click on the name of your computer. The contents of the main Finder window will change and you will see a network globe, and for our focus, a silver icon of a disk drive with your boot drive name — probably Macintosh HD.
Double-click Macintosh HD. Double-click Library. Scroll down until you see Internet Plug-Ins, and double-click that folder. Holding your shift-key down, select the following icons:
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
Now, with both icons selected, right-click to bring up the contextual menu and choose Copy 2 Items. Then, click once on your desktop, press and hold the option key with right-click. This time, you will see Move 2 Items Here. Select this and the plug-ins will be moved to your Desktop.
You now have a choice of default Safari PDF viewing, or if you prefer the Adobe PDF plug-ins, reinstall Adobe Reader 11.0.04 (as of this post date) to reinstate the Acrobat PDF browser plug-ins. Once this is working, drag the Adobe plug-ins on your Desktop to the trash.

How to highlight a text in Adobe reader plugin uisng code?

I am using VC++ to create tyhe Activex control( Adobe Reader plugin). Through code I am able to view the pdf. But now i want to highlight some text in the reader. Is it possible to do it.

Is it not possible to create highlight annotations using the SDK? At any rate, you should ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum...

Does Adobe Reader plugin work in Firefox 11 if launched from Gnome?

Sorry to cross post, but I couldn't figure out how to move my post from the "Adobe Reader" forum to the "Adobe Reader for Unix" forum.
If I launch Firefox (version 11) from the command line (Linux shell), then I can open a PDF with the Adobe Reader plugin. But if I launch Firefox from the desktop or panel in Gnome, I get the message "Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.1.0. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application."
acroread is in the PATH variable - I checked ("which acroread" and "echo $PATH")
We are using acroread 9.3.2. We tried updating to the latest acroread 9.4.something ...? but the SendMail option was missing from Edit->Preferences, so we reverted to 9.3.2.
We are using Debian Linux 5.0.8.
It is very convenient and user-friendly in our library for visitors to be able to view a PDF in the browser (with the plugin) and to be able to just click on the envelope icon from there to send a PDF.
This was working fine until we upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.4. We reverted to 9.3.2, and everything was working fine again. Then our systems people did some things, including updating Mozilla Firefox from version 3.6.13 to version 11. Then the plugin stopped working from the Gnome launch panel. I tried running the old Firefox 3.6.13 from the Gnome launch panel, but the plugin no longer works in it, either.
Has anyone had this problem?
Sometimes running Firefox from the command line gives some errors. I tried various versions of nppdf.so and tried toggling the about:config variable "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nppdf.so" but nothing changed.

I have the same or a very similar issue on WIn7 64bit

I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
Google Chrome is a problem:
if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version. Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
My suggestion; use a different browser!

Adobe Reader Plugins for Safari 5 on Snow Leopard

Our software uses Adobe Reader to open, edit, and save Pdf Forms. Most of our customer base is on Windows but we now have some MAC users as well. Everything works fine except using Safari 5 on Snow Leopard. It appears as if the plug ins are not loading properly or at all when Reader 9 is installed. When a user goes to open a PDF Form, nothing happens.
My personal Macbook which I have at the office, is Leopard with Safari 5 and when I download Reader 9, I can see the plugins in Safari and everthing works fine. Any suggestions?
Thanks

On Snow Leopard 10.6, you need to run Safari in 32 bit mode to get the Adobe Reader Plugin to load and launch properly.
To do this,
1) exit Safari.
2) in the Finder go to your Applications folder, select Safari and do File->Get Info
3) Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' in the General pane of that dialog
4) Relaunch Safari
5) Under the Safari Help->Installed Plug-ins you should now see the Adobe Reader plugin support.
I am able to get Safari to open forms inline in Reader this way. I am not able to get the Adobe Forms with Adobe Javascript running in this mode. Any insight on how this might be done would be helpful. It does work in the Standalone Reader, but so far no luck enabling it in the Safari plugin.

Problem uninistalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 9.1.3

How do I reinstall Adobe Reader 9.1.3?
When I look at the Adobe site all I see for 9.1.3 is an update.
Origin of the problem
Because of a problem I had downloading any pdf file I decided to uninstall Adobe Read 9.1.3 (with its CPSID-49522 patch)
When I tried to do this in Add/Remove programs I got the message "This patch package could not be opened .."
I then used Windows Installer Cleanup Tool to remove the program. (I noted that it said I would need to reinstall the program.)
This seemed to work. Adobe Reader 9.1.3 was no longer in its list (nor in Add/Remove programs)
However, this only seems to remove the program from these lists - the program AcroRD32.exe is still in 'Program Files' and running it opens Adobe Reader 9.1.3.
David
PS
I still have the Adobe 8 installer 'AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe' stored on my system.
Should I run that?

When I try to install Adobe Reader 9.2 from the file AdbeTdr920_en_US.exe
(downloaded to the Desktop) I get the message:
"Runtime error", "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it
in an unusual way",
"Adobe Bootstrapper for Single Installation has encountered a problem and
needs to close",
"Installation failed"

Adobe Reader plugin(Acrobat) won't install and Update in FF4

if I try to open FF4 and go to a pdf file Adobe Reader 10 will open then freeze FF4... I then went to Plugin check.. says Adobe Acrobat needs an Update.. I d/l it 3x.. still comes up as needing an upadate after restarting FF4... it just won't take it as a plugin..
I can't open pdf files anymore.. either FF4 is the culprit --I d/l it last month.. or the Adobe 10 update is...
any help appreciated..

Thank you for the video.
The video shows the App Store app that is trying to download and install Adobe Reader for iOS. Adobe Reader for iOS is not even launched at the point. Once we (the Adobe Reader Mobile team) upload a new version of Adobe Reader to the App Store, Apple takes care of the installation & updates of the app (and all other iOS apps) for users.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.6.3 on my iPad running iOS 8.1 but could not reproduce the problem. I suspect that your iPad is in inconsistent state with regard to app updates.
Here are a couple of things that you could try.
Go to the iOS Settings > General > Usage > Managed Storage.
If you see Adobe Reader, tap to go to the next screen. This is to ensure that Adobe Reader is completely uninstalled from your iPad. If you do not see Adobe Reader in the list, skip the rest of the steps.
Tap Delete App to uninstall it.
Go back to the App Store to download and install Adobe Reader again.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Since this is an Apple App Store problem, you would have a better chance of getting answers by asking the question in the Apple support forum.
Welcome | Apple Support Communities
Good luck.

Reinstalling Adobe Reader XI

As I don't have the install disk, how do I reinstall Adobe Reader XI after I reinstall Windows 7 on my PC?

Download it from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and install it. Don't forget to uncheck any unwanted software on that download page.

Adobe Reader plugin certificate cost

Hello,
I was said that I have to buy a special certificate if I create a plugin for Adobe Reader, while I have not if I create a plugin for Acrobat.
I would like to know how much does it cost.
Thanks in advance.

The details of the cost and the licensing procedure are in the Acrobat SDK under Reader IKLA (integration key license agreement).

Please stop using caps. It is considered shouting and rude.
You need to download the program. The reader runs when needed.
