I have downloaded Adobe Reader into my MacBook Pro, now how do I activate Plug-Ins?

I have downloaded Adobe Reader.  How do I activate Plug-Ins?

I don't know what kind of plug-in I need to activate.  In fact I don't even know what a plug-in is.  All I know is that when I attempted to download some photos and a document, both from an outside source, a box appeared saying "missing plug-in."  I have used the the photo website many times before with no trouble.  The one clue I have is that the most recent attempt to download the photos said that I needed to update my Adobe Reader, which I did, but alas, to no avail.  Help!  Please!

  • Is it safe to download adobe reader for my macbook? i don't want any viruses to pop up

    can i download adobe reader for my macbook pro? is it safe or will i be at risk for viruses?

    You may be confusing Adobe Flash - which is known for security issues - with Adobe Reader perhaps.
    I think you are safe to download Adobe Reader. Always update the software when updates are available since many updates do include security fixes as well as bug fixes and any new features that have been added.
    I have always had some version of Adobe Reader on all of my Macs and have never had any virus, Trojan or Malware on any of them.

  • How do i read pdf files on mac air, i have downloaded adobe reader and not working

    How do I read any files in pdf format? I have downloaded adobe reader yet have not been able to open pdf files?

    If you can't view PDF files in Safari, take these steps.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat 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 again.

  • I have downloaded adobe reader xi but cannot open my system is Windows 7 Home professional?

    I have downloaded adobe reader xi but it will not open - my system is Windows 7 home professional?

    Some things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • I can't download new version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  Please help?

    I can't download a newer version of adobe reader to my MacBook Pro.  What can I do? 

    No, sorry, that's not how forums work. We are just ordinary people, not employed by Adobe (and Adobe won't help, because it's free software).
    Step 1. Try to get the file you want on screen. I expect you to see the message "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document"
    Step 2. Understand you are looking at a page of a file, even though it looks like an error message. It is in a window, right?
    Step 3. Move your mouse towards the bottom of the window. Stop moving the mouse. A little bar should appear with four buttons.
    Step 4. Click the fourth button.
    Step 5. Open FINDER.
    Step 6. Open Downloads from your left bar.
    Step 7. Find the file you just downloaded.
    Step 8. Double click on that file to open it.
    Please do not skip anything, just because you don't understand it. Instead, let us know.
    If these instructions let you down, please let us know (a) on which step, and (b) what actually happens instead of what I said.
