Internet Explorer Adobe PDF Reader Add-ons

We have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1 version and from Internet
Explorer (Tools> Manage Add-ons), Adobe PDF Reader publisher shows "Control name is
not available" . I tried to open web-based PDF form but it error out.
How can I fix this IE add-ons issue?

Having to disable Adobe PDF Reader add-ons then enabling it.

After updating through 11.0.02 -> 11.0.03 -> 11.0.07 (Not currently on 11.0.10), and before I go any further, we also are using IE11 w/Enterprise Mode and the latest version of Chrome. Also, users have Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.09. PDF's are set to open in Adobe Reader. Well, after updating Adobe Reader with the versions mentioned above, a user will open IE or Chrome and click on a link that should open a .PDF in another window or give the option to download it. When this happens, sometimes all the content can't be interacted with or it just doesn't open. The ONLY way I know of to fix this is to go in to IE, manage add-ons or Chrome://plugins, disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, close the browser, open the browser and enable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, restart the browser again. At that time, will the PDF's open properly.
Is there something that can be done to prevent this from happening? One of the reasons I don't like to push out Adobe Reader updates in our district during the school year is because of this reason.
Thanks

But unfortunately I don't know what the cause of your problem could be.

Adobe PDF Reader Add-on - IE11

Hello,
I work in a government organization and we are about the deploy IE11 to all of our machines. We've encountered an issue with how IE11 opens PDF. We want the PDF to open in IE11, and not open a separate Adobe Reader application. The fix we found so far was to disable the Adobe PDF Reader add-on, then re-enable. I also want to mention that we are pushing a group policy that does tweak a few settings. Here's what we are doing,
Pop-up allow list (several websites)
Prevent participation in the Customer Experience Improvement Program (enabled)
Turn off pop-up management (disabled)
Compatibility view
Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites - Enabled
Site to Zone Assignment List - Enabled
Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls - Enabled
Automatic prompting for file downloads - Enabled
Logon option - Enabled
Access data sources across domains - Enabled
Would any of these cause an issue with the Adobe PDF reader add-on? (We are using Adobe Reader 11.0.09
Thanks

I am starting to believe this issue may be a registry entry in HKCU as I can get the add-on to work for longer periods of time if I remove the user's profile from the local PC and then have them log in to build a new profile... the problem is that the add-on doesn't always continue to work, it just appears to work for a longer period of time before having to disable and enable the add-on again.
As far as my install package goes, I created a transform file using the Adobe Customization Wizard with the following options:
Personalization Options:
     Suppress display of EULA
Installation Options:
     Make Reader the default PDF viewer
     Remove all versions
     Enable Optimization
     Enable Caching of installer files on local hard drive
     Run silently
     Prompt for reboot

Shortcuts:
     Removed the Desktop shortcut
Server Locations:
     Left default values
Security:
     Protected View Off
     Enhanced Security Disabled for both Standalone and Browser
     Added our SAN, intranet and domain name to the privileged locations
     Prevented users from adding trusted files/folders and trusted hosts
Digital Signature:
     Left default values
Webmail Profiles
     Prevent end users from configuring Webmail profile
Online Services and Features
     Disable Product Updates
     Load trusted root certs from Adobe - Enable & Install silently
     Disable Help > Purchase Adobe Acrobat
     Disable Help > Digital Editions
     Disable Product Improvement Program
     Disable all Adobe online services based workflows and entry points
File Attachments:
     Left default values
Launch Other Applications:
     Left default values
I then created a VB Script to run the msiexec and reference the .msi and .mst files. I created the SCCM package and program and reference the VB Script. The installation works and the modified settings are there, so I know the .mst file is being referenced as well. I'm still working on finding a resolution and hopefully one of us comes up with something solid soon.

Adobe PDF Reader add-on is not available.

I can't get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in any browser (Chrome or IE). It's not in any of the drop-downs under "Manage Add-ons" in IE. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. with no success.
Any ideas?

Hey Darcy,
We are already discussing the same issue on this thread :-

How do I get the Adobe PDF Reader add-on to show up in IE9?

I want PDFs to open w/in the internet explorer 9 browser, but they won't. I've tried to enable the add-on in IE9, but it's not even listed.

The steps to enable the Adobe PDF plug-in vary depending on your version of Internet Explorer.
     Select Tools > Manage Add-ons. (Or choose Tools > Internet Options, click the Programs tab, then click Manage Add-ons.)
     In the Show pop-up menu, select All Add-ons. (In some versions the option is Add-ons That Have Been Used by Internet Explorer.)
     Scroll to the section of add-ons for Adobe Systems, and select Adobe PDF Reader.
     If the status of Adobe PDF Reader is set to Disabled, click the Enable button.

How can I install an old version of the Adobe PDF Reader plug-in/add-on for Internet Explorer?

I have installed an old version of Adobe Reader (X or 10.1.4), but my Adobe PDF Reader add-on in Internet Explorer remains version 11+...how can I get an old version of this plug-in?

The new serial number is to the right of your chosen download.

Adobe PDF Reader Publisher 'not available' in IE Manage Add-ons

Some users of a website that displays PDFs in the browser are not able to view the PDFs. These users are using IE9 and Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 7 machine. They have gone through uninstalling, reinstalling, and repairing Adobe Reader XI and have ensured that the IE settings match the IE settings for other users whose setups work correctly. The only difference is in the Manage Add-Ons. On machines that do work, the publisher for the Adobe PDF Reader add-on is listed as 'Adobe Systems, Incorporated'. On the machines that do not work, the publisher is shown as 'not available'. My gut feeling is that since the publisher is listed as 'not available', Microsoft doesn't trust the add-on and won't run the ActiveX control to display the PDFs in the browser.
How can I fix those systems so that the add-on shows as 'Adobe Systems, Incorporated' on the machines that do not work? Or how can I get them to work regardless of the publisher listed? Or is this even the issue of why these machines will not display PDFs in the browser?

They do assure me that they are using the 32-bit version of IE. I think the add-on doesn't show at all in the 64-bit version.

Adobe Reader "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon not installing when Using MSI Installer.

I'm trying to do a silent install of Adobe Reader - and I notice that when I use the EXE installer, with no manual configuration, I have the "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon in Internet Explorer (IE11).
When Installing the MSI - With or without a transform, I do not get the addon. I get a "PDF Link Helper" but no PDF Reader addon. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi geoffubazi,
The 'Adobe PDF Reader' Addon should install even if you run the .msi file.
Check under the Add on option- 'Run without permission' as shown in the screen shot below and it will list the 'Adobe PDF Reader' Add on

PDF Reader add on not visible in IE

Installed X1 Pro on windows 7 32 bit OS running IE 9 and do not have the Adobe PDF Reader add on listed, (showing all add on) in IE. PDF links will only open in IE which I do not want. Have tried un-installing, deleting Adobe folder out of programs files and reinstalling, same results. Have installed on other PC's with same setup with no issues. Any ideas on how to disable the reader add on when it does not show up as a manged add-on option in IE? Thanks in advance.
SOLVED: Select "Run without permission" option and it will show the PDF Reader option to disable.

Adobe Reader only comes in an x32 bit version...
It won't run on web pages that are using the x64 IE tab process. You uses must be using the x64 version of IE9.

Adobe PDF Reader not appearing under IE8 Manage Add-ons

I have Adobe Reader XI Installed.
Using Windows 2008 Server R2.
I tried looking under the 'All Add-ons' and 'Run without permission' drop down menu and still couldn't find Adobe PDF Reader.

They do assure me that they are using the 32-bit version of IE. I think the add-on doesn't show at all in the 64-bit version.

Adobe PDF Reader causing error in Windows 7

Greetings everyone.
I created a very simple VB.NET windows form application that only has one control, the Adobe PDF Reader. I created this project in both VS 2005 (.NET 2.0) and VS 2010 (.NET 3.5). My developer machine is XP SP3 32 bit. I experienced the same problem with version 8 and 10 of Adobe Reader.
When I compile the application and run the EXE file on my XP machine, everything is fine. I can see the form with the Adobe PDF Reader control. When I try to run the same program on our new Windows 7 SP 1 32 bit test machine, I get a generic Windows 7 error that says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program" and I never see the form.
Has anybody else had this experience with Adobe PDF Reader on Windows 7?

I appear to have found the solution to the problem RE AcroPDF.dll with Windows 7.
I had Visual Studio 2010 installed on our Windows 7 test machine. I added Adobe Reader to the list of controls. When I tried to add the control to a form I got an error that said:
Failed to create component 'AxHost'. The error message follows: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
When I researched this error in Adobe's forums, I found another user that basically said I needed to go to the Internet settings, under Preferences for Adobe Reader X, and make sure the box for Display PDF In Browser was checked.
After testing with my applications, this does appear to resolve the problem.
Let me know if anyone has any additional comments. Thanks for the help.

Hallo, ich habe ein ganz merkwürdiges Problem: seit einiger Zeit kann (konnte) ich keine pdf-Dateien aus dem Internet-Browser anzeigen - und konnte diese auch nicht downloaden. Es kamen immer Meldungen im Sinne von "unbekannter Dateityp". Heute habe ich alles was nur mit pdf zu tun hat deinstalliert und nochmal den neuesten adobe reader installiert.
Ich habe dieses Problem selber noch nicht erlebt, aber es deutet alles darauf hin, dass durch die Installation des aktuellen Adobe Reader die vorher offensichtlich "vermackte" Windows-Dateizuordnung für den Dateityp PDF wiederhergestellt wurde.
Warum Opera diese Änderung (noch) nicht registriert hat, kann ich nicht beantworten und würde möglicherweise zusätzlicher Recherche ausserhalb der Adobe-Foren erfordern. An dieser Stelle sei mir eine vielleicht bescheuert anmutende Frage erlaubt: "schluckt" Opera das denn nach einem Neustart ?

How do I display the web address within Adobe PDF Reader 10 & IE 9 64-bit?

Until a week ago, I was using IE 9 32-bit version together with Adobe PDF Reader 10. When I would try to open a PDF file from within the browser, it would and the Web Address would continue to display at the top of the window while browing the PDF document. I could then continue using IE 9 and move on to other pages and etc...
Now, I have swtiched to using the IE 9 64-bit version. What happens now is that when I enter an address in the web browser and it's a direct link to a PDF file example: https://www.technicalindicatorindex.com/newsletter/bpdf/TII_Newsletter_1686a_10.11.11_7055 475115.pdf ), it opens up with no problems, but I no longer see the IE 9 Web Address shown anywhere. So in essence, that page becomes a Adobe PDF program window and I loose my IE 9 access. I guess the PDF files are no longer displayed within the browser (althought I have it check ON).
Am I missing something?

I did write there, but no replies
I guess that with Adobe Reader 10.1.1 running with IE 9.x in x64 bit mode, you cannot open the PDF within explorer, as it does it outside it as a separate Window?
Correct?
