Message: "Adobe Reader blocked for this website"

When I try to open a pdf file a message appears "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". i then click the little arrow and another window pops up and it reads: "Do you want to trus the website www.........com to use the Adobe Reader plug in? And when I click "Trust" I can then move on to my PDF Download. This was never an issue before and wonder how I can rectify this? Does it have something to do with a 'plug in'?

What browser? On what OS?

I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 3 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Error message "Adobe Reader blocked for this site". Mac OSX 10.9.4 Have checked "always allow" option.

Is OSX suported ?

I was wrong on both counts. With the help of the local Apple store, I found a solution. First, I Moved to Trash all adobe related files/folders from /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Cache and /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Preferences. When I started "Adobe Reader 9", I at least got the license agreement but again it failed with an "internal error". I then moved the /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder to my desktop. I was then able to start "Adobe Reader 9" successfully.
I was having the "Internal Error" message on all my repeated installs of Reader in Mac OS 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") and this fixed it for me. The only thing I did different, was after the app finally launched without an error, I dragged all the non-Acrobat Reader folders inside of /Users/*myaccount*/Library/Application Support/Adobe back to the folder. I then re-launched Reader just to check and all was fine.
Thanks! This fixed my Adobe Reader on Snow Leopard problem.

Adobe Reader blocked for this website

How do I solve this problem?

Hi, I know this reply is a few months late, but just in case someone else needs the answer, as I did. Open the preferences in Safari and go to Security, click "manage website plugins", choose Adobe Reader and choose "Always allow" from the drop down menu beside "When visiting other websites". Hope this helps someone.

Adobe reader blocked for this site

Since the transfer to OSX Mavericks it happens rather frequent that at opening a site page I get the message "adobe reader blocked for this site". I do not know if the installation of Adobe reader is required by Mavericks. I thought it is by default that Preview should take care of this. Or???????
So once I installed Adobe reader and found out that Adobe is the new default. I do not want that, so I eliminated Adobe reader.
Any suggestion on what is going on would be appreciated.

OK, found out how to restore Preview to be the default for opening PDF files. However, Safari 7.0 still refuses to use Preview as the default to open pages that require a PDF reader. Anyone knows how to tackle this?

PDF forms won't open. Says Adobe Reader blocked for this site

In last few days, when I click on link to a PDF document, I get a new tab, but a black message saying Adobe Reader blocked for the site. I've installed, and agreed end user; but nothing changes.

How do I upgrade Adobe reader - currentlyevery time I try to download a PDf file on my macpro I get a grey screen and a dialog box that says adobe reader is blocked for this website...

Help - a couple of weeks ago I tried up upgrade adobe reader but it never completed loading as far as I can find / that night would never finish
( how would I know , where would I check?)
now every time I need to download a PDF file ( dental claim forms tonight) I get a grey screen with a dialog box that says Adobe reader blocked for this site
and that happens on any site where I am trying to download a PDF…?

What is your operating system? Reader version? Downloading from what browser?

Why does the screen say, "Adobe Reader is blocked for this website."

When I try to continue on to the site and trust the site, I recieve a different message stating, "Before viewing PDF documents, in this browser, you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser."
I have tried redownloading the program and accepting the agreement again, but this does not seem to be working. I am out of ideas......

Did you actually read the message you got? It doesn't say anything about redownloading; it says to launch (open) the Adobe Reader application and accept the EULA.

Keep getting error message Adobe reader plugin for safari

I keep getting an error message saying that Adobe REader has detected Missing Components that require repair. etc. Ask to select components I would like to repair but the message freezes solid and I can't even force quit it.
Anyone else seen this?

HI,
Launch Adobe Reader. From the Menu Bar click Help/Repair Adobe Reader Installation.
If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.adobe.Reader.plist file to the Trash, then try the Help/Repair Adobe Reader Installation again.

Adobe Reader Blocked in Safari

It's been a while, but ever since I upadated to Safari 7.0.1 (or maybe even the version earlier), I've been unable to open any PDF documents inside of Safari. When I click on a link on Google linked to a PDF document, a grey page shows up with the message "Adobe Reader blocked for this website" I tried clicking the message and a panel dropped down asking me whether I trust the website or not. But even after I clicked Trust and the page reloaded it self the PDF still doesn't show up.
Anyoen know how to get around this? I know Apple got rid of native support for many web applications because of security threat but there should be a way to put it back in right?
Thanks,

Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...

Using Maverick, error message: Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Receiving error message using current Maverick version: "Adobe Reader could not open '***.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).". Is fix the same as on previous OS versions?

Windows Media Player Extension "Add-on for this website failed to run" except for Administrator

This is on a Windows server 2008 r2. I am trying to allow users to watch help videos at a vendor site. If I remote desktop using the Administrator, I can play the videos and if I check the "manage add-ons", I see Windows Media Player as an extension.
If I remote desktop on as a "normal user" and try to view the same video, I get the error message "An add-on for this website failed to run" and if I check the "manage add-ons", Windows Media Player extension is not there. That
makes sense, since if it is not there, it won't run.
Why isn't Windows Media Player extension showing up in IE 10 on the server for anyone other than Admin? How could I make this work? If I am somehow preventing this from taking place, where would I go on the server to change that?

Hi,
Have you try adding this video website into trusted sites zone or compatibility view list?
Generally, improper security settings may casue failure to run some add-ons. So, please attempt to decrease security level for Internet Zone to check if this issue still occurs.
How do you think your issue is related to Windows Media Player extension? Based on my knowledge, Flash player plug-in can lead to the problem. Please reinstall your flash player for the current user.
Also, Please check in event log for more clues.

Why can't I open a pdf file on my desktop? I have Adobe Reader and running OS 10.10.1 I keep getting the same message: "Adobe Reader could not open '8pdk_96_4.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."

I tried that.
I saved the file 8pdk_96_4.pdf to my desktop and tried to open it using Adobe Reader but I get the same message: Adobe Reader could not open '8pdk_96_4.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most current edition of Adobe Reader, including the patch. When I open a PDF file, the screen is first grey, then viewable, but the message "Adobe Reader has stopped working" comes up. How do I remedy this?

RR,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:
