How to synchronize Adobe REader with Firefox browser

I can no longer view any pdf attachments while in Mozilla - I have to save the file then view. How can I view while in Mozilla?

thanks just realized that without the tool bar at top, pulled down from Tools and Options where I then was able to link the appropriate program to each of the file types. Thank you!! Diego.

Want: Adobe Reader with Firefox but not with Safari

I've been using Firefox as my primary browser for awhile, but still use Safari at times. I use Adobe Reader to display PDFs within Firefox, and it is currently also used by Safari.
I'd like to take advantage of Safari's new ability to natively display PDFs within the browser window without using Adobe Reader, but I want to continue to use Reader with Firefox.
Does anybody know of a way to make this happen? It seems to be an all-or-nothing proposition since the same plug-in is used by both browsers.
iBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.6) It's white.

well, you might try quitting safari & firefox, then moving the adobe plugin(s) from /hd/library/internet plug-ins/ to /applications/firefox.app/contents/plug-ins/ In finder, press Apple-shift-G & paste the italicised text above into the box - this will take you to the firefox plug-ins folder ( assuming you have firefox in the applications folder )
then restart the browsers & see what happens
Please note - I don't know that this will work, but it's easy to try & easy to revert back to normal - just quit the browsers again & move the plugin(s) back where they came from.
I'll just test it with a different plug-in......

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility is indeed no longer available from Microsoft, but it can still be obtained from various 3rd-party download sites such as http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html
Download it, install it, then run it (Start | Programs | Windows Install Clean Up), select 'Adobe Reader' and click on the Remove button.

Need help to print in PDF format using Adobe Reader with FireFox and a FileOpen plug-in. Can't get anything to work.

I am trying to print clothing patterns on my printer and they must be in PDF format. I was told I needed Adobe Reader, a FileOpen plug-in, and finally Firefox Plug-in. I downloaded all of this and I still cannot open anything in PDF format. Thank you Bonita Rainey

call the same smartform(Function generated from smartform) in your bsp application, get the otf outof it, convert that to pdf and show it. follow your previous thread and check the blog mentioned there.

Opening unknown mimetype with Adobe Reader in firefox?

Firefox 4.0 appears to be able to identify an unknown mimetype with a pdf file. In Options>Applications>Content Type, it lists "PDF (application/unknown)" as a content type but I cannot alter it so that this file type will open with "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)." Is there anyway to fix this so that Reader will open these files in firefox?

I see. Can you provide an URL where it does not open through the plugin as expected? HTTP (web) servers are responsible for asserting the MIME type of the content in reponse to the user-agent (browser). If the server does not define the MIME type as being "application/pdf" before proceeding to serve the content then the plug-in will not kick in. That's one possible tangent.
The other is that something is wrong in Firefox. In that case, try [http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions resetting the download actions].

When downloading Adobe Reader, the Firefox instructions say to look for an "edit option" box. It does not appear and I am stuck.

Using Adobe Reader under Firefox: I have read the Mozilla specific help for this and fail.

I have Firefox 3.6 and FC13. I need to run Adobe reader under Firefox to be able to submit tax forms. I run Adobe reader 9 fine separately, including forms.
In the reset download actions Mozilla suggestion I fail at: 2. click File and select Exit, then 3. delete the mimetypes.rdf file. I can delete the file with a different sequence but it does not help.
I would install Adobe reader separately as an Add-on, but cannot find it. I only find PDFescape.
My adobe preferences specify use of the Firefox browser and I start under Firefox Open File but submit fails because I am no longer under Firefox.

What is your operating system? Reader version?

Where are Adobe Reader and Firefox ??

Maybe I lack understanding in Mac environment, but I downloaded (and tought I had installed) Adobe Reader and Firefox, but can<t find anything else than rhw .dmg files (instead of the normal icons for the installed programs) on the desktop.
How ca I get a program that will 1) install permanbtly, 20 will leave me with a nice icon and simple name on desktop (instead of <<Firefox 2.0.0.2.fmg>>, and 3) will appear in my applications list as a permanent program instead of something that seems to istall from scratch every time I double-click on iyt ??...
Thanks,
Rob

welcome to the apple discussions!
when you download an application, it usually gives you a .dmg or disk image. double click on the disk image and it will mount it. click on the mounted image and in it is the downloaded application or installer. when it is finished installing the application will be in the application folder. Sometimes the disk image will have the app itself and you can drag that to the applications folder. (double-click macintosh HD on the desktop, and on the sidebar will be the application folder.)
hope that helps!

P.S - make sure you download the Mac versions of firefox and Adobe Reader.

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.

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.

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.
