Is there a problem using Acrobat Reader plugin Find with Mac OS X v10.7 Lion?

I've recently noticed that the Find function is not working when I am viewing a pdf with Safari 6.1.1 and OS 10.7.5. I get a "Not Found" result no matter what I enter, even when I'm sure the search phrase is in the pdf.
Is there a preference in Safari I can change to make this work?

I'm not even blind and I miss Front Row! Apple has been letting us all down. :/ It stinks.

  • Problems using Acrobat Pro to scan with 10.5.2 and HP7280

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to use Acrobat Pro to create PDF via scan. The scanner I have is an HP Photosmart C7280 all in one. When I try to use it, it starts up HP Scan Pro and gives option is scan to Acrobat. Unfortunately, when I ask it to do so, it crashes Acrobat.
    Any ideas on what to do to make this work?
    Thanks

    BTW: whats with this Îικε stuff.
    As for Adobe/HP.
    They have had a long running feud of Sorts for years running.
    there was a very long period that spanned several versions of Acrobat, and HP Print Driver Updates. where every time adobe issued an update for Acrobat. Hp had to turn around and issue an update to their print Drivers.
    The controversy swilled around If a Pdf was printed through acrobat or Reader to an Hp Printer all you would se was a series of very fine line screwed sideways much like looking at a TV screen the Horizontal hold adjustment was out of whack.
    I'm sure Aandi , and Mike as well as myself posting thousands of times over the years to use the work around of going to print menu advanced and choosing print as image. And if it cleared the problem, to get on the horn with HP and let them know their driver was broken.
    HP would fix it it work for a month and Adobe would do another update, and the same thing would happen.
    It would be like the joke about Peat and repeat sat on a fence. If Peat fell off who's left? Pete. Then you would say repeat. And the person telling everything would repeat until you caught on.
    You would think that a Software That depending highly on how printers would print would actually have sample of printers from the printer vendors to test on.
    I also find it strange you never hear of any other printers having as much problems with adobe products.

  • 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

  • ADOBE ACROBAT READER PLUGIN DOES NOT WORK

    when I click on a pdf document, nothing but a white page shows up (I do have the correct Reader plugin and it appears enabled.)

    I had the same problem after updating Firefox to version 4.0 and Acrobat Reader to Version X. For me (Win XP) what solve the problem was deleting the Acrobat Reader Plugin (nppdf32.dll) in the Firefox plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins). So now there is only one Acrobat Reader Plugin left namely the one in the Acrobat Reader plugin folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\Browser).

  • 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 reopening and/or refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0

    I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 and have encountered problems refreshing PDF files in the Safari 2.0.4 browser when I am logged into the secure area for Value Line Publishing. Some of the PDF Files in this area can be opened and/or refreshed multiple times. Other PDF files in this area allow me to open them once. I cannot reopen those previously viewed files (or refresh the screen) -- after refreshing, the window changes to a blank white screen, and the files do not reopen.
    I am perplexed because I do not have difficulty refreshing the PDF files (within Safari) using the native PDF viewer, I did not have problems refreshing files using Acrobat Reader V. 7.0 and I do not appear to have problems refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 when I am outside the secure area or on other web sites.
    I have replaced the Acrobat Reader plug-in, manually removed all remnants of previous versions of Acrobat Reader and reinstalled V. 8.0. and I also upgraded from Mac OS 10.4.8 to 10.4 9, all to no avail.
    I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
    I can also download the PDF files to my hard drive and refresh them multiple times within Safari and also using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0
    The software personnel at Value Line Publishing have investigated their system and have referred me back to Apple. Has anyone heard of similar problems associated with Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 used in conjunction with Safari 2.0.4?

    This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
    I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
    Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
    Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

  • Is there a version of Acrobat Reader that works for XP SP3??

    I have spent 30 minutes trying to get either ver 8 or version 9 of Acrobat Reader to install on a fairly recent clean install of XP Pro Sp3 machine. I need to use Acrobat Reader for a application rather than another reader and want to know why Acrobat Reader 9 fails to install properly because Error 1406 could not write key...
    Installing it under an Administrator account.
    I had even worse problems with version 8 as the install exe file that I downloaded from Adobe stalls at 1% at the progress bar! Does 8.x which is not Abobe Air based work in XP SP3?
    There are no other Adobe Reader versions nor other PDF readers installed on this computer.

    I followed the instructions here http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329137&sliceId=2 however that did not fix the problem as the same error message is still showing up. I did notice that it APPEARS that these instructions are reversed. If you look at solution 2 steps 8 & 9 and the screen shots are reversed since when one clicks on ADVANCED button as indicated in step 7 you see the screen shown in step 9 first then you can click on the OWNER tab to show the screenshot shown in step 8!
    As well I get the same error message with the 8.x version, the install file was corrupt and that is why it was hanging yesterday.

  • 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,
    Steve Mckinney

    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.

  • Error opening DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader

    I am having problem opening a DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader. When I open the document I get a message if I want want to connect to xx.xxxxx.xx server (Allow / Disallow), I click Allow then I get this error message without prompting me for the login box.
    "An error occurred while performing this operation. Contact an administrator if this problem continues."
    What is strange is that when I open the document using Acrobat Professional then there is no error and I get login box.
    I tried this in Acrobat 8 and 9 Reader with latest updates.
    Please help.

    The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.  
    You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
    See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf
    And the Cross Domain Policy File Specification: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html

  • Creating an Adobe Acrobat Reader Plugin (Licensing)

    Adobe Acrobat Reader Plugin
    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to go about getting an Adobe Reader plug-in working?
    I've read all the 'Adobe Reader Integration Key License Agreement' stuff but I'm a little confused.
    My plug-in is specific to my application (it allows a button to be added to Adobe Reader which passes the file name to my application)-nothing complicated.
    How do I go from an Adobe Acrobat plug-in to make it an Adobe Reader plug-in also?
    Is there really a cost involved in doing this?
    Any help and guidance on this would be really appreciated.
    Regards
    Stuart

    Note: it is now called Adobe Reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader was the name 10 years ago.
    Yes, there really is a cost. You apply to Adobe, and they examine your case and justification. They might approve it, and equally, they may reject it. Then they will negotiate a price with you, perhaps with a one-off cost and perhaps with an annual fee, or both. The fee will depend on volumes and type of plug-in. The most expensive are DRM plug-ins, which seem to demand five figures, recurring.
    Finally, if approved and paid for, they issue you with a key and you use it to transform your Acrobat plug-in into one that can load in Reader (it remains loadable in Acrobat). This will be valid for a specific release of Reader only.

  • Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

    We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser"  option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
    I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
    I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

    Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • Firefox will not use Foxit Reader plugin.

    Why doesn't the configuration to use the Foxit Reader plugin for PDF files work? The Adobe Reader plugin (in Firefox) is used instead.
    In Firefox 3.6.8 "Options" window, "Applications" tab, for "Content Type" -- "PDF file," the selected "Action" is "Use Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla (in Firefox)."
    For "Content Type" -- "PDF file, in the "Action" dropdown list, no option is listed for "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)."
    The "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins" folder contains both (1) the Foxit Reader plugin (npFoxitReaderPlugin.dll ver.1.0.1.1117), and (2) the Adobe Reader plugin (nppdf32.dll ver.9.3.3.177).
    When Firefox connects to a website using a URL for a PDF file, the PDF document always appears in Firefox using Adobe Reader.
    Given the configuration, why doesn't Firefox open the file using Foxit Reader? How can this be fixed?
    Operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
    Thank you.

    BTW, Foxit has released Foxit Reader 4.3.0 which uses Firefox plugin 2.0.2010.1103.Plz take a look at foxit download center:http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/index.php
