Missing Adobe Reader Plug-In for Chrome

Chrome Version: 26.0.1410
Operating System: Mac OSX 10.6.8
Extensions: None
When trying to open a PDF inside of Chrome, I receive an error to disable the Chrome default PDF view and use Adobe Reader instead.
Using this website: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142056, I disabled the Chrome PDF Viewer plug-in.
I then opened Adobe Reader and went to Preferences > Internet. There should be a check box for Web Browser Options. Instead, I see a web page link that instructs me to disable Adobe Reader plug-ins within Chrome.
But when I open the chrome://plugins, I do not have any for Adobe Reader.
How can I disable something that isn't there?

Look for a plugin that supports PDF; Reader is an application, not a file format, so it may not be listed that way in the plugin list. If not, you may just have to download the PDFs and open them in Reader manually but you can try asking for help in the Chrome forums:

Adobe Reader Plug-in for Chrome

I was wondering if there was going to be any releases soon to resolve the issue with the Adobe Reader Plug-in for Chrome due to Chrome no longer supporting NPAPI? I know there is a work around found on Chromium Blog: The Final Countdown for NPAPI : "We will provide an override for advanced users (via chrome://flags/#enable-npapi) and enterprises (via Enterprise Policy) to temporarily re-enable NPAPI while they wait for mission-critical plugins to make the transition." However, that work around will no longer be available come September 2015.
Please let me know if anyone has any information as to if the next version of Reader plug-in will be supported in Chrome, and if not when?
Thanks!

Adobe Reader Plug-in for Google Chrome

I use the Adobe REader Plug-in for Google Chrome. My question is: Is there a way to change the default zoom?

The default zoom for the plugin should be the same as for the standalone Reader. Is it not?

Adobe Reader plug-in for Safari can't find Adobe Reader

I keep Adobe Reader.app in Applications/Local-A/PDF Software. When I try to open a PDF in Safari (5.0.3), the plug-in can't find the reader. I have to point it there each time I open Safari. I would have thought it would know where to look after the first time, but it doesn't. How do I permanently tell the plug-in where to look?

Hi,
Default install of Adobe Reader X package has Browser plug-in checked for install. Did you customize your installation and unchecked this option which indicates you dont want to install browser plug-in. Other possibility could be that you are using both Reader 9 and Reader X in your system and after Reader X install, you have updated Reader 9 assuming updating 9.4.0 to 9.4.1. This will change the plug-in version back to 9.4.1 (latest update).
One way to have version X is rerun Reader X installer and it will repair your plug-in to version 10.0.0. As an advise do not use both Reader 9 and Reader X in same system (though this is possible). You can simply delete version 9 application and continue working with Reader X installed.
Secondly to answer your question that Safari keeps on asking to choose Reader application, what you can do is open com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist in /Library/Preferences in any plist viewer. It should have a key - WebBrowserUsePath. This should be pointing to correct reader application on your system. Normally its value is something like - file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
In your case you have moved Adobe Reader.app to /Applications/Local-A/PDF Software/Adobe Reader.app
So change the value of this key to point to correct application. Here it should be - file://localhost/Applications/Local-A/PDF%20Software/Adobe%20Reader.app/
This will ensure that Safari does not prompt you again.
Thanks,
Karan

I have repeatibly loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update. While the plug in check is important it is quite bothersome at present. Please help.

EVERY TIME the browser boots it kicks off the plug in check. I understand that this is important but it is currently a pain. Once I update Adobe Acrobat Plug in the browser does not recognize that the plug in has been installed and keeps coming up and up an up an up.
This is the message I get.

Please get back with me regarding a fix.

Mozilla Firefox is not finding "missing plugins" when I know Adobe Reader is required for the site, specifically Blackboard for UT Austin. What is going on?

I have the latest version of Ubuntu on an Asus laptop (netbook) with an Intel® Atom™ CPU N450 @ 1.66GHz × 2. Firefox came with Ubuntu, but for some strange reason, when I go to blackboard to view something in PDF and I try to install the missing Adobe Reader plugin, Firefox says it "can't find any suitable plugins". What is going on?

Try opening your "package manager"/synaptic and search for "acroread"
Install it. Try again with firefox. Also try with cromium and opera.
One prof needed all three browsers on different sections of blackboard..nightmare.
So you know, blackboard sucks bad for linux...you have to do a lot of work to make it work correctly if your professor uses it poorly.
Try accessing the files like this:
- instead of going to the "courses" tab,
- choose "content collection" tab
- then open "course content" folder
- then you should see the list of documents
Also you may have to switch back and forth with cromium/opera
hope this helps
-edit-
forgot to add, the "blackboard IM" does work if you install the package "wine". You have to use an older version of the IM than the current and don't use the upgrade nag unless you're a lucky sob.

Hi Raja,
I can understand your concern & will guide you in the right direction.
Let me know the version of Adobe Reader, web browser & operating system installed on your computer?
You can also refer to this KB doc. for the troubleshooting steps : Configure browser to use the Adobe PDF plug-in
*Note : The Adobe Reader plugin will not be supported in Chrome. The Chromium team has decided to remove support for NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader. Here's a blog post that describes their decision - Chromium Blog: The Final Countdown for NPAPI

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!

Problem with Adobe Reader Plug-In (7, 8, and 9) on Windows XP

We are experiencing a problem with the Adobe Reader plug-in and viewing documents hosted at our site. The problem seems to happen with larger (over 5 MB) PDF files enabled for fast web viewing. The problem never happens when viewing PDF image only files which are not enabled for fast web viewing. The problem happens inside and outside our firewall, so it is not a firewall problem. My organization has been hosting PDF files to the web at least all this decade, and this is the first time we have experienced and documented this problem on this scale. We have ruled out the program creating the PDF file is causing the problem as I have eight sample PDF files created and modified by a variety of programs exhibiting the same issue.

I can reproduce the problem with Internet Explorer 8.0.6 and Firefox 3.5.4 using Adobe Acrobat Plug-In 7.0.9.50 running on Windows XP Professional SP3. Others have reproduced the problem with 8 and 9 versions of the plug-in on Windows XP Professional and Home. Oddly, no one has been able to reproduce the problem with Unix/Linux versions of the plug-in or third party plug-ins. This points to it being something wrong with Adobe Reader.
The problem is when I attempt to view one of the eight PDFs in my browser, I can severely stall or lock it up if I attempt to view more than the first page before the whole document downloads. Sometimes if you wait it out, the browser will unlock, but not display text on the pages. Sometimes if you wait for the whole document to load before switching pages, it works. Sometimes you can start switching pages and the document will not lock up at all. All eight documents can be viewed without issue if downloaded to the PC's hard drive and then viewed with Adobe Acrobat 7.0.
Can anyone point me to a technical document or reason why we would be experiencing this issue? Even better, does anyone know the solution to these issues?
Any help will be much appreciated.

I looked at a few documents. They appear to be scans and scans that have been OCRd. It is also likely they have not been optimized for page view. This means that the document has to be fully downloaded before viewed. That means the browser may appear to freeze until the entire document is downloaded. Downloading the entire document appears to be a reasonable way to handle these files.

I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
            "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
- I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
- in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.
If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.
Cheers

Did you check what I would consider the first place to look:

If the site is still down (at least 12 hours) when you read this try [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A//kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Google's cache]

Who can share some Adobe Reader plug-in development documentation besides SDK documentation?

Hi,
I want to develop a Adobe Reader plug-in to realize a function that I can delete/insert the pdf file's content when open a PDF file, but the SDK documentation is too indistinct to me, for example: which callback method I should to call? I read the AS_Layer of the SDK documentation, it seems that the PMSetTextProc should be invoke? How and where should I to invoke this callback method? The SDK documentation doesn't provide a sample.
Who can share me some more detailed Adobe Reader plug-in development documentation? or who can give me some advice how to read and use the SDK documentation?

thank you Test Screen Name, thanks for help me these days.
I want to realize a function, read a encrypted PDF file's content and then decrypt the content, and show the decrypted content in the PDF file when open a PDF file with Adobe Reader. so I need to call a callback method to capture the moment of open PDF file and display it.
I read the content of Acrobat Core API of SDK documentation, this documentation describe the Portable Document layer as follows:
PDFEdit methods deal with the physical representation of a PDF document. More specifically, PDFEdit methods handle page content as a list of objects whose values and attributes are modifiable. These methods allow your plug-in or PDF Library application to read, write, edit, and create page contents and page resources, which may contain fonts, images, and so on.
I look up PDFEdit_Layer in the SDK API, not found the callback method to response to open PDF file and display content, so I think that may be my idea is wrong.
Could you point out my mistakes?
