Missing PDF Toolbar in IE8

Hi.
Running Win7 with IE8 and Acrobat 9 Standard.  For some reason after I installed Acrobat 9, IE8 does not load the Adobe tool bar.
In IE8 Under Tools > Manage Add-ons (Currently loaded add-ons) I can see the following:
1. Adobe PDF Link Helper
2. Adobe PDF Conversion Toolbar Helper
3. SmartSelect Class
What I do not see listed is just simply "Adobe PDF"
Anyone know how to get it back?
This is what it should look like (snap shot taken from another machine).

I've just had the same problem with Adobe X.
After a little digging on forums and finding no real answer I had a lateral think and found the problem.
You need to fix this in the Adobe reader sofwtare NOT in IE8.
Open up Adobe reader.
Go to Edit -  Preferences
Click on Internet
Remove the Tick from the Display in read Mode by Default box
You should now find that the toolbar is back when you open a PDF in IE8.
Hope this works for you - it did for me.

  • PDF toolbar disabled on some sites in IE8 (Acrobat v8.1.3)

    Hello,
    Recently we have come across sites that do not allow a conversion to PDF through the Adobe PDF toolbar in IE8. The toolbar is greyed out.
    For example, when searching google.com for acrobat, the results page has a greyed out pdf toolbar.
    Has anyone else come across this? I can replicate this on a range of other sites too (though it works for the majority of sites).
    I've looked at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2829007 and we do have all our add-ons enabled.
    Cheers,
    Rhys

    Even if I go to http://acrobat.com/ I still have a disabled toolbar.

  • PDF Toolbar missing from Safari 5

    The PDF toolbar no longer appears when viewing PDF files in Safari (5.1.2) on my MacBook Pro running the latest version of Lion. It is not running in 32 Bit mode.
    Any ideas?
    regards,

    Thanks Linc.
    The clue to the solution lies in the discussion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3536184?tstart=0
    Where it identifies possible internet plugins as the cause. In my case it was not an Adobe plugin but a Quicktime plugin that was responsible.

  • What happened to PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer?

    (Think I may have posted in the wrong forum -- Acrobat.com -- so I'm reposting here)
    I recently installed the beta of Internet Explorer 9 on my Windows 7 system. I liked it well enough, but the install caused my Acrobat 9 Professional toolbar to disappear. The only PDF item under "Manage Add-ons" is Adobe PDF Link Helper, which doesn't seem to do anything. I ran "Repair" several times from Acrobat to no effect. I then uninstalled the beta IE9 and restored IE8, then ran Repair again. No joy. The two icons in the toolbar (convert and convert rectangular region) are long gone. However my Office 2007 applications all have their Acrobat items present and they all work.
    I understand that the PDF toolbar has some problems with the 64-bit version of IE8, so I've tried using the 32-bit version, again to no effect.
    I can print to the PDF print driver, but that's a bit of a blunt tool and rather inconvenient. I just want to get the toolbar back. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Keep in mind that IE9 is still in Beta.  They may have support for it once the full version is released.  I
    have IE9 Beta installed on my Win7 notebook and I will take a look to see if I see any options for the toolbar.
      I know that with IE9 they were trying to eliminate a lot of the "chrome" of the browser to streamline it like Google's browser.
      Firefox 4 Beta has done something similar to maximize website real estate.

    Adobe Reader if always free. Acrobat requires a purchase.
    Also Acrobat X has different UI, there is usually a floating toolbar that can be used to open the full toolbar.

  • How to install Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer after uninstalling IE 10 and installing IE 9

    Hello.  I need help installing Adobe PDF convert web page to pdf toolbar to my Internet Explorer 9.  I uninstalled Internet Explorer 11 and 10 because I could not open pdf files in IE 10 or 11 -- trying to open pdf documents froze/locked up Internet Explorer and I had to use Task Manager to exit Internet Explorer every time I tried opening a pdf document.  I have downgraded to IE 9 with the hope that I will have better luck.
    I am using Windows 7 operating system.  I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed on my computer.
    Now that I downgraded to IE 9, I've lost the Adobe convert web page to pdf toolbar.  It is not even in my choice of add ons in Internet Explorer when I go to Manage Add Ons.  How do I get the Adobe toolbar add on back?
    I lost my Adobe Acrobat X Pro disk so do not have that to help me in any way.  What can I do?
    Your help is greatly appreciated!

    If it is an issue of the AA X disk, you can download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. Be sure to create a replacement CD in case it is not available in the future. You will still need your S/N for any reinstall. You can usually get that from the Adobe site as long as you registered Acrobat (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html).

  • Error message: Missing PDF maker files in Word 2007

    OK, I am beyond frustrated. I have had nothing but trouble with Windows Vista and Adobe Acrobat. Please help!!!
    What happens: first, the pdf addin for Word 2007 suddenly becomes disabled, for no apparent reason. Forget about trying to re-enable it through the Add-Ins menu, because Word tells me that the "connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed". This is a problem for me, because I use a special font (Vietnamese) that sometimes gets corrupted when running pdf maker. The only consistent way I have found to avoid this problem is to run the pdf maker as "Quick PDF" and as far as I can see that option is only available through the pdf addin in Word, I have never been able to find it when I open the Acrobat program and create a pdf from there.
    Second problem: shortly after the pdf addin becomes disabled, my Acrobat program loses the ability to create pdfs altogether. I get the error message "Missing PDF maker files". Yes, I have tried repairing the installation and re-starting my computer per the instructions given. It doesn't fix the problem. I also tried looking in the Knowledge Database on this website, but it appears that the instructions they have to fix the problem there are for earlier versions of Word, not 2007, because my version of word does not look like the version of Word in their little videos.
    This is the second time this has happened. The first time I resolved the problem by a) re-installing Acrobat, which is a pain because it involves calling Adobe and wading through their customer service to get a new installation number, and b) paying a computer repair service to dig deep into the guts of my computer and convince it to change the Office Add-ins to allow the pdf addin again. It worked for about 6 months, and now I have the same problem again. For some reason Vista is spontaneously disabling Acrobat.
    I simply cannot deal with this every few months. We all know that Vista is a crappy program, but I run a business and I need a program that works with whatever crappy program Microsoft puts out. Please, can anyone give me suggestions about how to re-enable these functions when Vista disables them?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Cannot Print PDF File from IE8 Beta 2

    I recently installed Adobe Reader 9 and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 under Vista 32-bit. When a PDF file appears under IE8, I cannot print the file. The print command shows only a blank page. If I save the PDF file, open Adobe Reader 9 and open this PDF file, I can print the file correctly. Please advise if you have the same issue and possible fixes?
    Thank you...

    I have a similar problem. I have Adobe Reader 9 and IE8 Beta 2 on Vista Ultimate, and other pdf drivers as well. When I try to print to any pdf driver in IE8 B2 I get "Access Denied" message box, then when I click OK I guest a script error on line 2037, Char 1, unspecified error, code 0, URL: res//ieframe.dll/preview.js. It occurs with all the pdf print drivers I have including ScanSoft PDFCreate, Quicken PDF printer, and DocuCom PDF printer. If I do print preview and then print, there is no response.
    Debugging java scripts is more than I want to get into. Any ideas?

  • What has happened to the pdf toolbar in Safari 5.1.2?

    I'm using Safari 5.1.2 with OS X Lion.
    Usually when I open a pdf page in Safari and move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the Safari window, the pdf toolbar shows options like zooming, open in Preview.app or save to downloads folder, but this function appears to have been deleted. I used this feature all the time. Is it gone? Why?
    Scott

    It is supposed to be there, e.g., I have it on mine.
    One possibility: a third party software/plugin/extension conflict.

  • Acrobat X Pro does not install PDF toolbar in Firefox, but does in IE.  How to fix?

    Also, I see that Acrobat X Pro does not install all plugins.  There are several that I want shown as not installed.  But how can I get these installed, as there is no button to say "install this"??

    Got a partial fix - In Firefox, the Adobe PDF Toolbar gets installed in "Disabled" mode.  To enable, go to "Tools->Add-ons->Extensions", select "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF" and enable it.
    Now, as for the rest of the Acrobat plugins, I'm still trying to find a way to enable them.  Any ideas?

  • Where is Adobe PDF Toolbar in Firefox 12?

    I'm running Adobe Acrobat Pro V9.5.1. Firefox is V12. I'm a recent convert to Firefox.
    There is NO Adobe PDF Toolbar available from the Firebox toolbar menu. However, there IS a plugin that is enabled: Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1.283.
    I went into the installation application for Acrobat and Firefox was nowhere to be found among the Acrobat PDFoptions where you can choose "one-click creation of an Adobe PDF from popular applications". Among the selections were MS Office, MS Visio, MS Publisher, MS Internet Explorer, Lotus Notes, etc. NO Firefox.
    My Acrobat is up to date.
    The Adobe PDF Toolbar has always been available to me on Internet Explorer - for years now!
    Does this mean there is no toolbar availabe for Acrobat Pro? I can do the workarounds others have suggested, but the toolbar is faster and offers more (at least in IE).
    Does anyone have any up to date answers?

    Hey guys, finally solved this!
    Using:  Firefox version 17.0.1 and Adobe Acrobat X Pro (version 10.1.4)
    I was looking for the Convert to PDF toolbar similar to IE and it wasn't visible in
    Firefox.  Here are the steps to make it visible:
    a. First in Firefox make sure to enable the Adobe Acrobat Extension:
        Tools ==> Add Ons  ==> Extensions ==> Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.2  ==> Enable
    b. Add the Converter into the Firefox Toolbar:
        View ==> Toolbars  ==> Customize  ==> Drag the Convert icon to the Adobe Toolbar
    There it is.  The Convert To PDF now appears in the Firefox toolbar:  (see graphic below):

  • Acrobat PDF Toolbar in Internet Explorer 7 Disappears

    I have the Adobe Acrobat Web PDF Converter addin on IE7 under WinXP Pro. The toolbar for the function appears normally when I am browsing in the first tab. If I open another tab for browsing, the PDF toolbar disappears. It is listed in View/Toolbars, but it is deselected for viewing and cannot be selected; if you select it to display, it simply does nothing.
    In other words I always have the PDF toolbar displayed and functioning in the first tab, but for any subsequent tabs it is not present. This happens even though the toolbars are locked, it just disappears when I select a secondary tab.
    Any ideas? Is this an Acrobat bug or not?
    Pete B

    I'll think about it. I can live with it only being functional in one tab, and I do not see much in A8 Pro that I use that would justify $150+ for the upgrade (I am just a retired guy with no active employment and limited income).
    The only reason I have the Pro version now is for the forms features and the PDF driver, I do not use much of anything else beyond the standard functions. And act8ually I have several other programs that have a PDF converter in them to save a file as a PDF.
    However, I may consider an upgrade to A8 Standard, is this toolbar functionality provided in that version? Also, the product info is unclear, does A8 Std have a form tool that I can use on a scanned form to provide fillable form fields like I can with A7 Pro?

  • Missing PDF Options in Acrobat Pro 8

    For some reason, on some machines in the office "PDF Options" is missing when we try to print to the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer under OS X 10.4.10. Both machines are Intel-based.
    Two of the machines in the office have the option, two don't.
    We thought it was something specific to these machines. Then yesterday, on a brand new MacBook Pro, we reinstalled a user's license from the DVD and the same thing happened: no PDF Options. This machine had been used for two days. Microsoft Office 2004 installed, Firefox and that's it - otherwise bog standard. Never had an Adobe product on it, never had Acrobat on it. Updated to 8.1.1, no change.
    We've tried completely uninstalling, trashing all the Adobe and Acrobat-related items in /Library and ~/Library, same with prefs. We've searched the entire machine for any string that includes 'adobe' or 'acrobat' and trashed them, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled (re-serialising in the process). We've reset the printing system and added the printers back.
    We've cleaned the cache files (using AppleJack, a great little utility), repaired permissions, reinstalled the 10.4.10 Combo Updater, DiskWarriored the machine.
    We're tearing our hair out, because in our office, this option is vital to the daily work flow.
    Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone got a reliable fix?

    I "think" that there may be a way to correct this, but it's at your own peril if it doesn't. Then again what have you got to lose? Here is something from another public forum. It's about Acrobat 6.x and 7.x but it sounds like the same issue. If you decide to try this and it works let us know.

    Re: Acrobat 7 Pro: missing PDF Options menu in all applications
    Hi all,
    I solved this error with Acrobat 7 by deleting the com.adobe.print.AdobePDF7 folder from the user library preferences. It may be missed by those who are deleting preferences because it is not grouped with the com.adobe.acrobat.xxx.plist files.
    The equivalent folder for Acrobat 6 is called com.adobe.print.AdobePDF located in the users home library preference folder.
    I hope this helps.
    Best,

  • How do I get a pdf toolbar in AutoCAD?

    I've just purchased Acrobat X, and want to know how to get the 'create pdf' toolbar showing in AutoCAD (2010).
