  • Java browser plugin failure

    Heya!
    I bashed and crashed away trying to get the javaplugin working for Moz last night but to no avail. This is the error when launched from the terminal:
    LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
    Easy enough I thought lets just try making a symlink like so:
    ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.0 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
    Still didn't work it produced this output:
    LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/opt/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __rtti_si]

    I am using the GCC3 tree if that is any help.
    Java is not a huge concern but it would be a bonus to have it. I only need it for my browser.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Plugin Failure Mac

    Out of the blue, I am unable to upload images. Facebook, photo websites- they will not allow me to upload. I get a 'plugin failure' message and that's all it says. I have uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled and restarted and it still doesn't work. I don't get it. I am having no other problems. Video, etc. works fine. It's just image upload. I'm running Safari on Mountain Lion -the most current version. Help! It's driving me crazy. It always worked fine before- I don't know what changed.
    Thanks!

    Try a complete "clean install" per the illustrated  instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084
    I did those with Lion, but they'll work with Mt. Lion too.
    If it still fails after that, post back.

  • After downloading Adobe Reader 11.0.6 I get "plugin failure" when I try to open a video link. Fix?

    After downloading and installing Adope Reader 11.0.6 I get "plugin failure" when I try to open a video link or watch a program in an archive.  How can I fix this?

    My browser is Safari in Mac OS 10.9.2.  Don't know if they are Flash videos, but it sounds likely.

  • How do I stop downloaded MP3s playing in the QuickTime Browser Plugin?

    I have a number of websites created in Flash, which are used to promote musicians and bands in Bristol, UK. I use Flash because it allows animations, music players, background music, and all the other features ideal for promotional websites.
    We offer MP3s for free download so our fans and followers can own some of our tracks.
    Up until last week, a link directly to an MP3 would launch the "Save As..." download dialogue, allowing users to save the files to their PC.
    However, since installing QuickTime 7, when you click on a link to an MP3 it now launches a nasty little embedded Quicktime player, which you can't save from or do anything useful with.
    This is absolutely useless as I already have streaming audio and a built-in music player in my site, and I can now no longer offer MP3 downloads. I don't want to have to start zipping my MP3s or anything hideous like that, does anyone know a way that I can stop this happening?
    I can't expect visitors to my sites to do anything, so I need some way of changing the URL so that it doesn't trigger the QT plugin.
    Would really appreciate some assistance as this has effectively ruined the most significant part of most of our websites.
    Thanks

    Ah, well, it was worth a try, but since you're clearly not actually reading my post - I'm using FLASH, as I clearly stated so you cannot right click.
    As for the QT Mime settings, what you are saying is woefully inaccurate, and once again you aren't reading what I am writing. Quicktime is not the default player for MP3s on my PC. And as of two days ago there was no QT MP3 browser plugin either. I installed Quicktime because I have to have it to play MOV files.
    By installing QT the program arbitrarily (that means it did it without any involvement or permission from me) took ownership of MP3s in the browser only. I know how MIME settings work, and I made absolutely sure that QT did not get it's hands on any of my filetypes. However, there is NOT an option to stop it playing MP3s in a browser, and it most definitely happened without my say so.
    There clearly isn't an answer to this, I'll either have to put my MP3s in Zips or use some elaborate code to generate a nasty HTML page so that you can (retch) Right Click, Save As. All this because the QuickTime player has made changes that it had absolutely no right to.
    Never mind, I'll find another way. But first, I'm uninstalling Quicktime forever.

  • Adobe Reader Browser Plugin - How to disable right click print

    Here is some background to my question
    I'm using Adobe Reader 9.2 and have configured to use the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin.
    which has the effect of launching pdf's within the IE browser rather than launching the full client. This is all working fine
    I have a requirement that I need to lockdown certain menu items (for the purpose of this example, lets say "SaveAs" and "Print") and toolbars which I have also done successfully using folder level javascripts. For example I have created a HideMenuItems.js file and placed this in the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts", here is a snippet of the file which relate to hiding / removing the SaveAs and Print items
    app.hideToolbarButton("Print"); 
    app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
    app.hideToolbarButton("Save");
    These work fine and hide the Print and Save toolbar buttons from the Adobe Reader Browser plugin menu.
    As an aside If I wanted to hide the same icons from the full adobe reader client I could use app.hideMenuItem("Print");
    So this all works fine and I'm happy so far. Now, with these settings in place I launch the pdf within the browser, although save and print buttons are now hidden and I cannot add them back, I can still RightClick anywhere in the pdf and get the context menu, from there I can select print.
    What I'm after is a way to either
    (i) Selectively remove menu items from the right click context menu, and therefore remove the print option e.g something like app.[hideRightClickMenuItem]("Print") would be great but I dont know what that method is called.
    or
    (ii) Disable the RightClick context menu altogether for Adobe Reader Browser Plugin
    Not bothered what the solution is whether its a reg hack - HKCU / HKLM  / or javascript line I can add to my HideMenuItems.js, But basically I want to lock down the ability for the users to select print button from all sources including "CTRL + P",
    Or if this is not possible let them hit CTRL P or right click print, but then not display the Adobe Print Dialog.
    Basically the printing of the documents in handled by our web app sending a silent print to the adobe application which again works fine, I just need to prevent the users from being able to initiate a print from within the pdf when displaying the pdf in a browser.
    Having searched around there is an API called AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks which is supposed to prevent right clicks, But I dont know how to use this, or whether it can be used within my HideMenuItems.js file, tried many different syntaxes but to no avail.
    Does anyone have any experience in this? Adobe - do you have any suggestions ?
    Cheers
    Will

    Hi thanks for your response, yes it seems this API is availalbe but there are no examples of how to use it. You mentioned its available in Adobe reader and Adobe Acrobat plugins. Well I'm using the Adobe Reader Active X Browser Plugin so how would I use this API to restrict the Browser plugin.l
    I am not a developer writing my own custom plugins, I simply want to use the out of the box adobe reader product, specifically the Active X browser plugin, but I need to be able to customise and restrict what the user is able to do.
    The reason I need to do this is that we publish IE on a citrix server which users access to launch this highly secure web based application. The sensitive data that they view is in the forms of PDFs which are viewed by the Adobe reader browser plugin within the browser. The web application controls who can save, export, print etc, so I need to be able to lock down the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin so that the user cannot initiate save, and print functionality from within the viewed pdf. I've done this successfully by restricting the menu and toolbar items but it is still possible to right click on the viewed pdf and click select print from the context menu. This would cause us a big security flaw, which would result in users that are only supposed to view being able to click print.
    I published a desktop (locked down) and published IE (locked down) all successfully with GPOs so the users cannot do anything they are not supposed to do, however Adobe reader it seems cannot be easily locked down and this is a problem as I might have to start looking at viable alterantives. Surely a simple requirement as this could be acheieved with relative ease.
    In an ideal world there would be an  available GPO template (.ADM file), which could be used to centrally manage these type of settings. I dont even mind writing an ADM myself, I've written many before, but for example what I need is the appropriate registry entries and how they are used to lock down / restrict certain functions so that I can write such an .ADM file.
    I dont mind how I achieve this, I just need a way to do it. So if using the API AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks would achieve this, can someone please tell me how I can implement something that would use this API to restrict the right Click Print options for example.
    The sort of answer I;m looking for would be
    Create a file, paste in this code, place the file is this location xxxxx, this is a per machine fix so will affect all users
    or
    Edit the regstry and make this HKCU change xxxxx - This is obviously a per user fix so use normal methods to get this into every users profile.
    or
    Open up the file in this location xxxxxx and add AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks = AlwaysDisable (or whatever the syntax is)
    Thanks for you help
    Cheers

  • Acrobat 9.31 / Browser Plugin - Printing Color PDF as Black and White?

    I have an interesting issue for the masses. For a couple of our users (it encompasses both Windows XP x64 and Windows 7 x64), they are having an issue where when they attempt to print a PDF directly from Acrobat's browser plugin (in this case, IE8 is the browser), and attempt to print a color PDF to a color printer, the PDF comes out in black and white.
    Here's some other consistents:
    * Printing to a network printer, using the print driver Canon C5180-H1 Ver.2.0JM. The problem spans across two different print servers (we use a different one for XP clients and 7 clients, but the driver is the same)
    * When the user clicks on "Print As Image", it does work (but doesn't look quite as good)
    * When the user saves the PDF to a file and then opens it in the full Acrobat 9 Pro application, it does work (but this is a bit annoying)
    Can anyone suggest some other things I should check and/or reasons that this might be happening? I'm at a total loss to explain it but will happily accept suggestions on ways to fix it.
    Thanks!

    Following up to see if anyone has some solid ideas on how this might be happening.
    Thanks!

  • Browser plugin sometimes doesn't display PDF, just a blank region

    Hi,
    I'm running Slackware 13.37 (32-bit), with Adobe Reader 9.4.2 and Firefox 5.0.1. I have the browser plugin installed, but sometimes it does not work. As in the thread title, the document fails to display, with just a black region appearing in the browser. Sometimes, if I refresh the page a number of times, I can get the document to display. Sometimes just waiting seems to help, but not always. This isn't restricted to one particular document. It happens (seemingly) at random. sometimes a given document will display in the browser, but not at others. I can't seem to reproduce the problem consistently, making it harder to fix, I suppose. This does not seem to be a problem with my Firefox profile; I started with a new profile and the problem still occurs. The Firefox error console gives no messages pertaining to the problem :/.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I'm seeing the same on 32-bit Fedora 15 with:
    firefox-6.0.2-1.fc15.i686
    nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-1.fc15.i686
    AdobeReader_enu-9.4.2-1.i486
    If I kill any pdf plugin process like the following:
    orion
    30772 30542  0 Sep22 ?   
    00:00:00 /usr/lib/firefox-6/xulrunner/plugin-container /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_32_32.nppdf.so -greomni /usr/lib/firefox-6/xulrunner/omni.jar -appomni /usr/lib/firefox-6/omni.jar 30542 true plugin
    orion
    30785 30772  0 Sep22 ?

    then it works again.  I'm going to try running without the wrapper for a bit.  Won't help my 64-bit users though.

  • How to save toolbar state in browser plugin?

    How do I get the Reader browser plugin to save the toolbar state?
    I'm using Adobe Reader XI as a browser plugin in Firefox. I've set it to disable Read mode by default. I like to have several tools at my disposal, so I right click the toolbar and show all the page display tools that I like. When I quit and load a new PDF in the browser, the toolbar state is lost and I have to show all my favorite tools again. This gets annoying when done repeatedly throughout the day.
    The native Reader program saves toolbar state. Why not the plugin?

    Toolbar entries for the desktop and browser instances are different, so what you assign in one won't update the other. That's because a lot of things aren't allowed in the browser plugin. You can't directly manipulate the toolbar options in the browser instance of Adobe Reader XI, they're factory-defined.

  • Adobe reader & pdf browser plugin 2 license

    i've got a macbookpro, & my class lectures are presented in pdf format.  every time i go to open 1, i get a popup that i need to order a pdf browser plugin 2 license.  it let me access my pdfs last semester by requesting register later, but this semester it's not letting me read them.  nothing i've found for adobe reader shows that i need this.  how do i get rid of this popup so that i can read my lecture notes?

    You must have used some file that was created with that program.  It is completely unnecessary for Safari or Firefox.  If you have installed Adobe Reader, it should have put a plug-in into your Internet plug-ins.  Find a pdf file in Finder, then select it, then right click, get info.  In the window, make sure that the pdf file opens with Adobe Reader, then click on Change All.  It tells the Mac to handle all pdf files with Adobe Reader, and IF you have the plug-in, you should be able to read it.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Acrobat X Browser Plugin is unusable

    I have a serious problem regarding the browser plugin of Acrobat X Professional:
    Each time I open a PDF-file, the new window lacks all the control items ("Save", "Print", "Pages", etc.).
    There is only one small bar at the bottom of the window, which only appears when you move the mouse cursor to that area.
    This is completely insane and absolutely unusable.
    How can I return to the good old way, like it was in every version before?
    I couldn't find an option to set the default behaviour for the browser plugin...
    This is how it looks now (totally messed up):
    And this is how it's supposed to be:

    ...that'd be Adobe.
    The heads-up display was designed to maximize the document page within the browser window as much as possible, for devices such as netbooks where another toolbar can be quite a lot of vertical height to lose if your PDF page is in portrait mode. On larger screens it's not needed, but some people prefer it, especially in Reader where there's not a whole lot else on the toolbar anyway. Not all, but some.

  • Order pdf browser plugin 2 license

    Mac Pro laptop OS10.6.7, running Firefox 3.6.17
    When I attempt to open a .pdf document within Firefox one of two things happen:
    1. the screen/tab freezes completely with a "Not registered" message shown under the frozen processing icon. Or
    2. I get a pop-up that asks me to "Order PDF Browser Plugin 2 license. To order a PDF Browser Plugin 2 license, click Order License to go to the Schubert it online store." This is followed by a "Order License" button. The lower half of the pop-up is "When you have received your license code enter your name and the license code." This is followed by several buttons and blanks for name and code. Without ordering and leaving all fields blank, clicking the OK button in the lower right allows the .pdf to load albeit very slowly.
    I have a screenshot of the pop-up window to forward if needed.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Safari 3.0.4 and DjVu Browser Plugin: No Go.

    I just installed the 10.4.11 Update (Combo) and everything went fine (it even fixed an old Finder glitch, the eject button next to Network and the menu bar Go/Network broken link), except for Safari, this new version doesn't let me open DjVu files. The DjVu Plugin Host standalone application doesn't work either. It just opens a blank screen.
    Every time I try to open a DjVu file, using either the DjVu Browser Plugin 6.0 or 6.1 (Beta) version, Console reports this error:

    NPDjVu::notify_error: IFFByteStream.not_ready
    Is anybody having the same issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    I also had this bizarre behavior silently creep into the most recent not-so-harmless upgrade.
    What I can't understand is why the original post is listed as "answered" here. There has been nothing resembling a satisfactory answer.
    Why should something that has been working properly forever suddenly break, silently, without a warning or a way to repair it?
    This has happened before; I remember one upgrade broke rsync; since that app is pretty crucial to sysadmin types, it got noticed right away and was fixed within a week.
    Unfortunately, the djvu plug-in does not seem to be on apple's list of items that need to continue to work as they have for so long.
