Missing Reader Plugin for Chrome

I downloaded Acrobat Reader XI for use on a MacbookPro running OSX 10.8.4, with the intention of using it as my default pdf viewer for Chrome, my web browser of choice. However, after installation there is no Reader plugin in Chrome. I assume it would have installed automatically. And I cannot find a place to download the plugin directly. Did I miss something?

There is no support for Chrome yet, see the system requirements for Adobe Reader XI: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html#xi

Reader plugin for Chrome versions 42+ no longer work

As of 04/15/2015, Google has deprecated the NPAPI which the Adobe Reader plugin apparently uses (see NPAPI deprecation: developer guide - The Chromium Projects) This means the Adobe Reader plugin for Chrome no longer works.
Does Adobe have any plans to provide a new plugin or extension for Chrome?
If not, what is an alternative that can handle .xdp forms? I've tried PDF Viewer (PDF.js), Notable PDF, and Xodo but none of them handle .xdp files.

All: I use the Adobe Reader plugin a lot for work. I have found a workaround to the new Chrome version 42 update that has removed the NPAPI plugins, including Adobe Reader.
In the Chrome browser URL, type "chrome://flags". Find the flag called "Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows" and click "Enable".
Then, go back to your plugins in Chrome, "chrome://plugins". Make sure the Adobe Reader plugin is Enabled and the Chrome PDF Viewer is disabled. Everything should work as it did before.

Skype outlook plugin for chrome in usa when?

Any definitve deadlines/answers on exactly when this "SUmmer roll-out" (Summer is here Micrsoft!) of Skype Outlook plugin for Chrome will really truly happen in the USA? Why is it taking so long for one of the biggest most cash rich companoies on the planet to keep their projections and promises and satisfy their SKYPE serious user clients???!#$%^ Any CLUE? Why so difficult for the mighty MS?
Where does one download the Plug-in at/from when it is avail?
THX...lets go MS...take care of your USA SKYPERS>>.you bought it now please fix it!

I agree. It makes no sense whatsoever to release iCal with no Outlook connector unless you never intended to do that or you want everyone to work out the bugs before a "real" release. I have an organization that I would love to move off of Exchange, but can't because they love Outlook. I can't even get an answer from anyone as to what to use besides Outlook, if I could get them on Neooffice or something else.

Foxit Reader has just been upgraded to 7.0. What is the latest Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla?

Today 24 Sep 2014 I received notice and Upgraded to Foxit Reader 7.0.
Under Plugins in Thunderbird it says Unknown. When you click on the Research Button the question is not answered in the list given.
I am presently using Plugin 2.2.4.903 is there a later one.
What is the Latest Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla?

You'd need to check with Foxit. Plugins are 3rd party software, and not provided by Mozilla.

Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.3.111 blocked while blocklist.xml tops out at maxVersion="2.2.1.530"

Attempting to open a .pdf with Firefox 18.0, and having Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.3.111 installed, I receive the gray lego piece page with text "The plugin is vulnerable and should be updated/Check for updates/Click here to activate the Foxit Reader for Mozilla plugin"
I look into the blocklist.xml file and find the plugin item:
<pluginItem blockID="p250">
<match name="filename" exp="npFoxitReaderPlugin\.dll" /> <versionRange minVersion="0" maxVersion="2.2.1.530" severity="0" vulnerabilitystatus="2"></versionRange>
</pluginItem>
Next, I view installed plugins and find: Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.3.111, and it is not disabled.
My first question is why, when the installed plugin version is 2.2.3.111, and the blocklist maxVersion is 2.2.1.530, do I receive any kind of plugin blocked page?
My second question is "is there any method or technique so specifically unblock a particular plugin, without affecting any other plugin?"
I force-reinitialized the blocklist.xml file and database.
Currently, I am running extensions.blocklist.enabled false, to sidestep this exact problem, but would definitely prefer to have this set true.
Thanks.

Hi cor-el,
I ''did'' see the bug report, that relates to ''2.2.1.530 AND BELOW''.
The current installed plugin is 2.2.3.111, which is ABOVE 2.2.1.530, hence the blocklist should not apply, since its setting "maxVersion", apparently the maximum version to which the block list should apply, is 2.2.1.530.
Thank your for looking into this, though.
Possibly I do not understand the maxVersion property in the .xml?

Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox 3

Has anyone else been having problems reading some pdfs using the Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox 3?
For several months this often (but not always) happens:
I follow a link to a .pdf, a new window opens with a blue progress bar in the middle.
It gets to 100%, but then nothing happens, it just sits there with the progress bar full and "Done" in the status bar.
Interestingly, I also have the "IE Tab" extension installed and if I click on the icon to change the browser engine, the page reloads (with a slightly different progress bar that includes a counter for the file size) and the document is always displayed correctly when the download is completed.
the Adobe Acrobat plug-in is v10.1.0.534.

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
You'll find previous versions there as well as the latest builds, but I honestly don't see why you'd not like 4.0. After all, this is Firefox we're talking about not IE, which seems to only get worse with each new release.

Adobe Reader plugin in Chrome browser

After last Google Chrome update (42.0.2311.90) I can not find Adobe Reader plugin.
I have 2 options now - open PDF in Acrobate Reader or open by Chrome PDF plugin.
And native Chrome PDF plugin does not submits form data...
Is it possible to fix this issue and open forms in chrome window by Acrobat Reader plugin?

Hey Yury_Vitovsky,
Google has moved out of NPAPI plugin support not Adobe, so Google Chromium team will be able to provide you a better answer for it. And yes it will be working fine with other web browsers like IE, Firefox etc.

Aadesh

Do I need Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla?

I have no problems with Reader when using Firefox, except I was reminded to install an update today, which is not working. My plugin, which was last updated July 2013 is set to always activate, but since it's not up-to-date, it's not possibly activated.
Do I need plugin for updating? Do I need it at all if the application works?
Thank you.

Ralph,
The plugin version I have is 2.2.3.703.
Maybe at one point you needed the Mozilla plugin.
As far as I know, Foxit works great without it, so I will uninstall.
Since Foxit wouldn't send me a reminder to update my plugin, I will have to find which update I missed.
Thank you for answering so quickly.
Nice job!

Javascript Detection of Adobe reader plugin for Adobe version 9.0

Hi,
I'm working on a javascript utility that finds out the version of the adobe reader plugin that is installed in firefox and IE.
The firefox code works fine but I can't detect Adobe version 9.0 for IE using the following code.
     var LATEST_ADOBE_ACROBAT_VERSION = 9;
     //Look for versions >= 7
      for (var i = 7; i <= LATEST_ADOBE_ACROBAT_VERSION; i++){
         pluginFound = detectActiveXControl('AcroPDF.PDF.' + i);
         if (pluginFound) {
            acrobatVersion = 7;
            Document.write("Adobe Version : " + String(acrobatVersion));
            return acrobatVersion;
The detectActiveXControl('AcroPDF.PDF.9'); function call results in an object does not exist exception at runtime despite the fact that I have adobe reader 9 installed on my machine. So I assume that the name of the object has been changed for Adobe 9.
Ihave been googling for most of the afternoon to try and find the correct object but no luck so far. If anybody knows the name of the object for adobe reader 9 and wants to let me know it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone !
I have a similar problem... I am currently using both, Safari(5.1) and Firefox(10.0), please don't judge me Runnin on OSX Lion 10.7.2
I recently installed a plug-in for PDF files on Firefox called Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin (recommended by mozilla.support.org) since I was unable to open PDF files without downloading them, then open them with Preview.
I was really satisfied, works great, although i had to make some adjustments to get it started !
Unfortunately, when I switch back to Safari, the plug kicks in. Now, as I remember, Safari has a "built-in" Adobe Reader plug in and it work just fine.
My Question is: Is it possible to affetct the Schubert it PDF Browser Plugin for Firefox and keep Adobe for Safari ? Otherwise, I would almost prefere to have AdobeReader for both of them, since i have good experience with it.
Thank you in advance

Internet Explorer ONLY passes parameters to Adobe Reader plugin for hosted files, not local

WORKS:
<embed src="http://host.com/test.pdf#page=5"/>
FAILS:
<embed src="test.pdf#page=5"/>
Both code snippets above work when the HTML file is hosted (IIS / Apache). My web-app needs to be able to run from a USB memory stick and work with IE9. The #page param is required for a core feature of the app.
Parameters after the # are passed correctly to the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox for offline files, eg: file:///C:/test.htm. The documentation only describes hosted examples: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
I have tried the <object> route as well with similar results, eg: http://pdfobject.com/
I have burned over 8 hours looking for a solution. I have tried any logical settings in Adobe Reader X, and with the security zones in IE. I am not very familiar with IE security zones, but I suspect it could be related to my issue. I can specify the end-user change any browser or plugin settings as an acceptable solution.

I am developing a hybrid web-application that needs to work both offline (entire website) and in a hosted environment. A key part of the product is displaying PDF's with a dynamic index outside of the PDF. This allows us to use PDF's collected from hundreds of contractors, clients and manufacturers and combine them into one searchable product with a consistent interface. I can specify product requirements including IE browser settings, installed plug-ins etc. I am not trying to cater to a wide audience such as everyone online, but a specific one that is spending $5k-30k for a custom resource.
I expect the limiation is due to a wide cast net regarding security. I tried every setting in IE and essentially fully disabling all security options did not resolve it.
I found a solution, by accessing the ActiveX object directly you can use the exposed classes described here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=IAC_API_OLE_Objects.103.167.html
Javascript:
var pdfO = document.getElementById('pdfObj');
pdfO.setCurrentPage(pageNumber);
HTML:
<OBJECT id ="pdfObj" data="test.pdf" TYPE="application/pdf">
<a href="test.pdf">Fall-back code</a>
</OBJECT>
This actually works much faster as well, since the plugin doesn't need to be re-drawn in the DOM

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

Missing read stats for zpool iostat?

All,
I'm working on benchmarking a T5240 w/ ZFS storage pools and a new Hitachi AMS2300. I'm using iozone and bonnie++ to benchmark. Iozone gives me stats for read performance, but the Hitachi doesn't record and read commands. Odd. Using zpool iostat <storage pool> also doesn't report and read commands for any of the tests I've done. Even if i cp a large zip file to the fs and then unzip it, I only get write stats, no read stats. What am I missing here? Do these missing stats have something to do with ZFS?
How can I get reliable performance stats about each zpools workload and performance?
Thanks,
Demian

Ive never had any trouble getting read stats out of iostat or zpool iostat.
Well, unless its the first time you unzip'ed it. It could well be cached.
And it you downloaded it. It could have been cached when it was written.
For the sake of sanity checking, try rebooting the box. Then redo the test.
Once you've established that your testing method works, you can see if you can find more convenient methods
of achieving the same thing. Maye unmounting and remounting the filesystem.

Adobe Reader Plugins for Safari 5 on Snow Leopard

Our software uses Adobe Reader to open, edit, and save Pdf Forms. Most of our customer base is on Windows but we now have some MAC users as well. Everything works fine except using Safari 5 on Snow Leopard. It appears as if the plug ins are not loading properly or at all when Reader 9 is installed. When a user goes to open a PDF Form, nothing happens.
My personal Macbook which I have at the office, is Leopard with Safari 5 and when I download Reader 9, I can see the plugins in Safari and everthing works fine. Any suggestions?
Thanks

On Snow Leopard 10.6, you need to run Safari in 32 bit mode to get the Adobe Reader Plugin to load and launch properly.
To do this,
1) exit Safari.
2) in the Finder go to your Applications folder, select Safari and do File->Get Info
3) Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' in the General pane of that dialog
4) Relaunch Safari
5) Under the Safari Help->Installed Plug-ins you should now see the Adobe Reader plugin support.
I am able to get Safari to open forms inline in Reader this way. I am not able to get the Adobe Forms with Adobe Javascript running in this mode. Any insight on how this might be done would be helpful. It does work in the Standalone Reader, but so far no luck enabling it in the Safari plugin.
