Invalid Plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.

Hi,
I have a valid Reader Integration key. The problem is that the above message appears regardless what I am doing.
Can anyone from adobe answers what the message means?
Under the preferences I unchecked "Use only certified plugins".
I have integrated a window in the plugin. While the messagebox is displayed, I can send a message to my window and therefore I see that the plugIn is loaded.
I hope someone can help.
Regards
Manfred

Certified plugins are NOT the same as reader plugins. Certified plugins only come from Adobe and exist for both Reader and Acrobat. Reader plugins work in Reader, while standard plugins do not.
I would check that you are properly adding the key to the plugin - that's usally what the message means.

Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

Adobe Reader 8 を手動でアンインストールする方法（Windows）

Adobe Reader X (10.1.1) Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.

This is the second time this has happen.
My system consists of the following:
PC running Windows 7 w/64bit
When I try to open a .pdf Iget a pop-up within 10 seconds say Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.
I paid the $39.00 from tech support to get this fixed in Aug. 2011 and now it's back.
I have gone through all the Adobe hoops and nothing has worked.

Hi,
Do you have any 3rd party plugin installed for Adobe Reader? If not, close all running instances of Adobe Reader and delete the entire folder at: C:\program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\plug_ins.
Now goto Control Panel > Programs and Features. Locate the entry for Adobe Reader X and chose to repair the installation.
If you do have a 3rd party plugin installed, try uninstalling them and see if the issue is related to the same. If it works, do let me know which plugins were causing the issue so that I can have a look.
Hopefully, this should fix things.
Thanks

The error "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit"

I have gotten the RIKLA from Adobe. And I use the example code BasicPlugin(you can download it from Adobe wetsite) as my plug_in, then, I made the api file according to the steps in document in the "Creating an Adobe Reader Plug_in" section of the "Developping Plug_ins and Applications". As last,I copy the api file to plug_ins folder, open Adobe Reader 8. I saw under the Tool memu there is a new menu named Acrobat sdk so that I think the api file is loaded successfully by Acrobat reader. But an error appears, it is "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit". Can someone tell me why?Thank you.

I followed your instructions
"You can find these in the "plug-ins" folder. [C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins]"
I finally found my culprit, I deleted one file folder at a time, then restored them from my Recycle Bin.
I finally found my culprit, in the folder “Babylon” the file “BabylonRPI" was the main culprit.
I deleted the whole Babylon file folder, and havent had the error "invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit" ever since.
Thank you very much kid, you kept it simple, I am not a Techie either.

Adobe Reader Plug-in shows error 'Invalid plugin detected. Adobe Reader will quit.'

I followed all the steps provided in the development guide. Still it shows this error. Please provide any help!

No Luck
We received the 'RIKLA-DigCert.rc' file along with 'T&C of Adobe' file. I followed the following steps as provided by Adobe's Developer's guide:
After receiving the digital certificate, enable the plug-in for Adobe Reader, by performing the following tasks:
1.Make a copy of dummy.rc and put it in your project directory.
2.Open your plug-in project in Visual Studio. Make sure you are in Resource View.
Adobe Acrobat SDK Creating an Adobe Reader Plug-In
Developing Plug-ins and Applications Creating resource files on the UNIX platform 248
3.Open dummy.rc from your project directory. Copy the API_ENCRYPTED_DIGEST data segment (a dummy encrypted digest) to the resource portion of your plug-in.
4.Open the digital certificate file returned to you by Adobe. Copy the API_DIGITAL_CERTIFICATE data segment (your digital certificate) to the resource portion of your plug-in.
5.Rebuild your plug-in. The plug-in will be created with the correct API_DIGITAL_CERTIFICATE data segment and a dummy API_ENCRYPTED_DIGEST data segment, which will be replaced with real data in the next steps.
But the problem is, when I open ''RIKLA-DigCert.rc' file, I got only '
API_DIGITAL_CERTIFICATE' inside but no'API_ENCRYPTED_DIGEST' as shown in Step-3. How do I get that? Also, we have already created Acrobat Plugin file which has got our project resource file (.rc). How do I use the same plugin for Adobe Reader as well? Is there any step missing? please provide any help as this is stopping our progress even after getting the License. Thanks in advance!

Reader X - RIKLA application approved, after signing plugin, still "Invalid plugin detected..."

Hi,
My company submitted a RIKLA application and it has been approved. I've taken the received certificate file and combined with the keypair file I generated, have executed SignPlugin.exe and it successfully signs my plugin. However, I still get the "Invalid plugin detected." error after about 3 seconds in Adobe Reader X. I have no other plugins being loaded.
I'ved used the BasicPlugin project file as a basis for my plugin's project file and tweaked it for a Release build. I've tested the plugin, and all logic is functional. (Though I have to hurry and click my plugin menu items/toolbar buttons as Reader quits within 3 seconds as mentioned above.)
My AcroDspOptions.rsp file looks like:
/D ACRO_SDK_LEVEL=0x000A0000
/D PDMETADATA_HFT=1
/D PLUGIN=1
/D READER_PLUGIN
/I "."
/I "Headers\API"
/I "Headers\SDK"
/D _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
The paths are all correct.
If you need to see what my project file looks like or any further details, let me know.
I'm trying to get this plugin out the door and this is the last thing stopping me.
Thanks, Isaac

Since this involves the RIKLA, you should address this to your RIKLA
support contact.

This is on 8.1 of the Adobe Reader. How can I download a 7.X version or is there someother way to determine which plug is invalid and what I need to do to get around the problem?

From this link:

I found EXE Download of Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader/Acrobat:
install_flash_player.exe
I requested our Admin to deploy the above file via SMS but he told me it will be better if I can find an MSI Download insteade of EXE.
Where I can get MSI Download of this EXE File?

Sorry, I misunderstood - yes, this will install the Flash Player plugin for non-IE browsers. But so will install_flash_player.exe from your first post.
According to the link you posted, it seems to be required to install the Flash Player plugin to view Flash content in PDF files.
On the other hand I do not quite understand why there is a NPSWF32.dll file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader ...
Thanks again Pat, but apologies, as I am not quite sure I understand what you mean...
This link you posted:

Adobe Reader will not save or show the Save dialog

Hello, we use adobe reader a lot where I work, mostly with filling out pre-made "Form" type PDF's and saving them in customer folders on the server, as of last friday my adobe reader will not allow me to save pdf's, I have attempted to edit and save, edit and save-as, I tried simply saving as without making any edits. I also tried to open a PDF online (specifically http://www.ncu.edu.tw/~ncu25352/Uploads/201312311030531151830864.pdf ), tested that PDF on another PC and it would allow me to save it.
I uninstalled Adobe reader 11 and reinstalled from the website ( get.adobe.com/reader ), I then uninstalled anything on the pc that relates to PDF's that I could find (which was just reader and a dictionary add-in for reader 9) and attempted to reinstall without any change in the problem.
To recap, PDF's will not save, and when I click save-as no save dialog pops up, I cannot save via the IE add-in either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated by both my boss and myself!

You mention IE, so I assume that you are on Windows.
How are you trying to save that PDF, using the IE menu bar File Save as, or the floating toolbar in the Adobe Reader plugin?

Adobe Reader Just quit

Starting this morning Adobe reader has quit working.
I have version 10.0.1 on an HP running Windows XP with
service pack 3 .
When Adobe loads I get an error message " Adobe has encountered a problem and must shut down.......'
When I go to the Adobe website and try to load a new version or retrofit to ver 9 I get a message from the install manager: 'You already have a version installed...installation of this will cease...'
(Error messages are not word for word)
I go to 'Add and Remove programs' and try to remove Adobe reader and I also get error message and the system will not remove the program.

Manually remove it following the instructions here:

Then download and re-install Reader X

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.

Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite

Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite installed

That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect. You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
More info is better.
