Install Acrobat/Reader plugin on Mac

Has anyone installed an own Acrobat/Reader plug_in on Mac?  Is there a standard way to do this? Up to Mac 10.4 there was a "Plug-ins" section in the information dialog of Acrobat/Reader, which was good to install/deinstall plug_ins. I don't find this section anymore.
I am searching a sample, how to create an installer for the plug_ins correctly. I don't want that the user has to open the plug_ins folder in the finder and drag and drop the .acroplugin into that folder.

There should be information about this in the SDK documentation.

  • Plugin check says the Acrobat Reader plugin (10.0.1.434) is an outdated version; however, I downloaded the latest version of Acrobat and installed it. Is there a problem on my PC /environment or with the plugin check?

    1. Did the plugin check on June 10th -- got the message that Acrobat Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape was an outdated version. Pressed the Update button on the page and was taken to the Adobe site.
    2. Downloaded the latest version, AdbeRdr1001_en_US.exe, and then ran the executable locally on the PC. The update completed normally. Note: I did not unistall the old Acrobat reader before running the executable.
    3. Went back to the plugin check page and I still received the outdated message for that plugin. Have rebooted system (i.e. the next day) and repeated the check, with the same results.
    4. Have opened Acrobat Reader application, pressed Help and then Check for Updates -- no new updates were found. Have run the Mozilla test (Mozilla Privacy Policy PDF) without any issues.
    5. What is the plugin version that should be registered on my PC within the Add-ons Manager?
    6. Please advise on the appropriate steps.

    I think there is a bug in Plug-in check. It happened to me as well in the last few days. There's no newer version of Adobe Reader that I know of. Anyway, Adobe is going to release a patch next Tuesday, maybe that'll fix this bug.

  • Problem installing Acrobat Reader on Mac with Mavericks (with error)

    I tried ALL the ways to install Acrobat Reader on my Macbook with Mavericks, nothing worked!
    It says "Error 301" or something like that and I already tried to download the enterprise version, the offline version, to change the login settings of my macbook. Nothing works...
    All started when, at a certain point, I don't know why, it stopped working opening pdf files, saying "error, the file could be damaged or you need an updated version of Adobe Acrobat Reader", so I uninstalled the app and tried to install again. It was when I realized that the mission was harder than  I thought!
    Please, if anybody with the same problem solved it yet, please please share it with me!
    Thank you!

    I'm sorry, part of it is in portuguese!
    How can I post here the install.log file?
    Thank you so much!
    PS: Apparently the error now is different, with no number ..

  • Can someone help me install Acrobat 8 Pro on MAC 10.9.4?

    Can someone help me install Acrobat 8 Pro on MAC 10.9.4?

    I don't think this version of Acrobat is compatible with your OS (seeing as the minimum requirement for Acrobat 9 is Mac OS X v. 10.4.11 or 10.5)...
    In other words, time to upgrade to Acrobat XI.

    when installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the install is complete, but on same screen its sets thaw an internal server error has occurred and reader will not work

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem on one of my Macs (MBP 15 Mid-2010 / OS X Yosemite): Both reader and Acrobat Pro download without a hitch. Both also install with no problem.
    But once you click the program to open, they both return "an internal error occurred".  
    I tried downloading three separate copies, and still get the same error message when I install and launch.  I've also uninstalled the previous installations via CleanMyMac2 to make sure it's no longer in the SSD.  Same results.
    Am using a new SSD as internal boot drive, with fresh / clean installation of OS X and Apps (previous internal HDD crashed) -- And am seeing errors not only with Acrobat, but also with LR5 which always comes up with a "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" -- inspite or uninstall, download and reinstall.  Not sure if it's a registry issue? (Not even sure if that's the case with OS X).
    Do I need to reformat the whole SSD? I hope not!
    Thanks
    Edwin

    Hello,
    I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
    Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

  • Windows Installer error while trying to install Acrobat Reader 8

    I am trying to install Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 off the CS3 disc. I already have Acrobat 8 Professional (8.2.3) installed. I just need the Reader. Whenever I try to install the Reader I get the following error, "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnal for assistance."
    I have tried all the Microsoft fixes for this situation, but I still keep getting the error message. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind, I figured out what was wrong. I had disabled User Account Control (UAC) when I was tweaking my OS. So I enabled UAC again and was able to install Acrobat Reader 8 without any problems.

  • How to install Acrobat Reader in a different drive?

    Hello!,
    I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how can I install Acrobat Reader in a different drive than just directly in C:. It goes by default there whenever I try to download it from the site, and there's no option anywhere to choose where it will install the program. I need to change the drive cause my C: is too full and dont have much else to delete from it, but have plenty of space in D:. Is it possible somehow to install the program in a different drive than c:? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Marcus Bale

    Download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.

  • Unable to install Acrobat Reader 9.3.4

    What ever I do, Acrobat Reader 9.3.4 installation won't execute.  The file would open and process, but thereafter; nothing happens.  I've tried uninstalling Acrobat Reader 9.3.3 using Revo Uninstaller just to make sure that there won't be any issues with the latest installation, but no changes. I've tried downloading the latest version via the download site, but no go. Anyone else having similar issues as me?  I've checked the forums here and other forums to find a solution, but I'm unable to find any.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Mahalos in advance.

    Hi,
    I can't install acrobat reader but it seems it's for a different reason from what I'm reading in these posts. When I download it everything seems fine until I try to open it by clicking on the icon or try to read a PDF file. The Adobe reader license agreement pops up, says that I need to accept it before I continue, but there is no accept button!!! I try to scroll all the way down  and nothing; there is no accept button!! I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again, same thing. I've tried the link posted in this forum and the same thing happened. It's really getting on my nerves. Can you please please help me?? It just seems so basic, but I'm totally stuck! Any help will be much appreciated!!!

  • Bug in Acrobat Reader Plugin for FF?

    Hi,
    i use a web application which pulls pdf reports from a server by http-post requests, so parameters are transmitted in the requests-body.
    As a viewer i do use Acrobat Reader Plugin, most recent release with FF 3.0.3 on Windows XP pro.
    So due of the http-post requests the requested url remains always the same for every report.
    The problem:
    In case of two reports having the same content-length, the former requested report is displayed as the result of the last request, though the content is different.
    The effect could be reproduced.
    Obviously the plugin cant distinguish the reports. With Acrobat Reader as the Viewer and with IE and Adobe AddOn all reports are displayed correct.
    Beside the http-post implmentation may not be the best way to do this, is this a bug or mishandling by the user.
    Regards
    Chris

  • Why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory

    why can I not install Acrobat Reader in a different drive / directory. I need to install this in a different drive. I prefer to keep the Os drive free of rubbish. Is there an option in an install to allow this to happen?

    What is your operating system & version?
    If you are on Windows, download the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and click 'Change Destination Folder' and the first install panel.
