Installing Acrobat without Reader plugin

Hi, I'd like to ask if it's possible to install Acrobat or Reader without the Reader plugin for browsers. I prefer to open Acrobat files in their own windows, and while I can simply tell my browser not to open PDF files in the browser window, it'd be best if I can simply skip installing the web Reader. Is there any way to do so?

  • How do I install Acrobat without a working dvd drive?

    How do I install Adobe Acrobat X without using my CD/DVD drive on my computer? I need the software but have a dead drive.

    Well, those things cost 20 bucks at your nearest electronics store... Other than that you can simply download the trial and activate it with the serial or copy the installers to a USB stick on anotehr machine and run them.

  • Installed Acrobat but Reader starts instead

    I downloaded the evaluation version of Acrobat for Windows, and ran it successfully once to edit a couple of PDF files.
    Now I'm trying to run it again to edit the files further. I'm selecting "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional" from my Start menu, but Reader 8 begins instead.
    I'm am able to select Distiller, which starts Distiller - but I don't think this is what I want, is it? I'm a beginner to Acrobat, so it's possible I don't know what to expect.
    Any suggestions?

    Aandi - The result of #2 is apparently that if a novice user (me) has been running Reader, exits Reader, and then tries to run Acrobat, they will be unable to run Acrobat.
    The way out of this dilemma will have to be to figure out the secret by some method such as checking with an online support forum such as this one, and then use this strange method (abort Reader from the Task Manager) in order to start Acrobat. But there's no way to know that or to guess that Reader is running, it because Reader is hiding, and Acrobat doesn't tell you that. The standard way to close a program is to exit it, or occasionally an explicit close; most programs don't hide invisibly in the background to cause trouble.
    Wouldn't it make more sense for Acrobat to give a message "Acrobat can't start while Reader is running; would you like to terminate reader and start Acrobat"? Or even better - simply take the action the user has attempted, i.e., run Acrobat? Why have this strange, inexplicable actiont that requires secret knowledge and strange actions, just to run a program? Or at least there ought to be some prominent warning on installation indicating that Reader and Acrobat are incompatible.
    Thanks for your help.

  • InCopy CS5- Unable to install InMath reader plugin

    I am using InCopy CS5 7.0.4  and want to use InMath reader plugin along with it.I am not able to install the InMath Reader plugin to it. Though Indesign works fine with the plugin.Any known issue/resolution?

    Not all ID plugins are compatible with InCopy.
    One thing you can try is to manually copy the plugin files from InDesign to the identical location in InCopy. I can't off any assurance it work, however.

  • 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.

  • Install Acrobat Reader without Internet?

    Hi,
    In my Windows XP computer, I want to install the latest version of Acrobat Reader. But the computer does not have an Internet connection. The version on Adobe website seems to be a 1MB download manager and installer, which must have Internet to complete the installation. Is there a way to get a full downloaded installer so that I can install it without the Internet connection?
    Thanks

    You can download the full installer from here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/
    Keep in mind that the latest version compatible with XP is 11.0.08, though.

  • How can I install Adobe Acrobat without installing the browser extensions?

    Hello All,
    I am a computer Technician at a high school and we have very strict browser requirements for different services. We need to use Adobe Acrobat to convert PDF's, and other tasks, and we need to use Chrome to open Adobe Reader files. The issue is that I want my 3 browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox) to open PDF files using Adobe Reader XI. All my plugin settings are correct to use Adobe Reader to open PDF's, but it either downloads a PDF to the computer, or opens up in the browsers default reader (Chrome does this), or opens up to a blank page with a blank error message. I went into the programs Internet settings for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat and it's telling me the browser opens them up using Adobe Acrobat (With no option to change the setting). The problem is only solved when I uninstall Adobe Acrobat.Then I am able to open PDF's in Adobe Reader just like I want (but this gets rids of Acrobat). This leads me to believe that when I install Adobe Acrobat, there is a registry key or something that is telling the computer to open PDF's in browsers using Acrobat. My initial question is this: How can I install adobe Acrobat without linking it to the browser. I JUST want Adobe Acrobat as a program installed on the computer.
    Additional Info:
    - I build a computer image and use that image on several computers. This issue persists with all of the computers I installed the image on.
    - I am using Adobe Reader 11 (Now DC, but I am willing to use either) and Adobe Acrobat Pro CS3 (I think it's version 9?)
    Thanks for the help.
    - Charlie

  • Adobe Portfolio to be read without flash plugin

    Dear All
    I prepare Portfolios with Acrobat pro. But my users belong to a global Enterprise and thus it is not possible to install individually the Flash Plugin for the Reader. Is there a solution to create Portfolios without Need of Flash components?
    Thanks for comments.

    Thank you for your answer. The point is, that Flash must be installed seperately to the Reader in addition! to the Maschine. And this is not suitable.  In my opinion this is conceptually a very unadaquate  solution if a have to buy a product without its Basis. So I need very quickly a new tool as a universal solution to collect and structure data.

  • 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 automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer

    Hi,
    I have been trying to figure out how to automate the Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer. My goal is to find a way to allow users of our web application to print PDFs to the default printer without having to go through the plugin's GUI. Our application includes a browser helper component, and I had hoped it would be possible to use the IWebBrowser2 interface's get_Document() method to get at some sort of interface to the plugin (as is possible for, say, a Word document hosted in Internet Explorer) and then use this to print the document. However, this does not work: get_Document(), when called on an IWebBrowser2 instance with a PDF loaded, returns E_NOINTERFACE. I also tried calling the IWebBrowser2 interface's ExecWB() method with OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, and PRINT_DONTBOTHERUSER, and printed a blank page rather than the PDF.
    Is it possible to do what I am attempting? Like I said, my core goal is to print a PDF from within Internet Explorer without requiring user interaction. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I might accomplish this -- it doesn't _have_ to be by automating the plugin (maybe that is a the wrong approach... though it sure would be nice if the plugin provided access to its object model via IWebBrowser2->get_Document()).
    Thanks in Advance,

    IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
    "<"body>
    "<"OBJECT id="pdf"
    type="application/pdf"
    width=800
    height=600 >
    "<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
    "<"/OBJECT>
    "<"script language="JavaScript">
    function waitLoad()
    setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
    function printFile()
    var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
    objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
    "<"/script>
    "<"/body>
    So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
    This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
    Thank again.

  • Is it possible to install Acrobat XI on more than one devise without extra charge?

    I have bought an annual Acrobat XI subscription, however my old laptop has broken and I can no longer access the program. Is it possible for me to install Acrobat XI on my new laptop without incurring extra charges?
    Thanks.

    Yes, your license key is cross platform PC & or Mac you are allowed to have two current installations with one in use at any point in time. You can uninstall / install as many times as is necessary so long as you adhere to the limits.

    Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
    Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
    See here:
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    Let us know how that works for you.

  • I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code  what can I do?

    Hi,
    I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code . What can I do? I purchased CS5.1

    You can get the updates for the MAC from Adobe - Acrobat : For Macintosh, but apparently you already found that. Two possibilities that I can think of: 1. You have anti-virus enabled and that is causing the failure or 2. You are trying to install an update and skipped ones before it. If you start with the latest update, the download indicates the previous version required for the update. It looks like 10.1.12 can install over any previous version, so I would go for broke and install the latest.
