PDF files won't display. Error message "Missing Plug-ins"

Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine. Just in the past 2 days is the check plug-ins test saying Adobe reader is not installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but still saying it is not installed. I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine. When I try to view a websites brochure, a websites sale paper, or maybe open up an article, the page pops up but the image won't display. It keeps saying "missing Plug-ins". I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail. None of them worked. I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email. I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app. HELP!!

You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

Using Windows 7, now Reader XI and now SOME pdf files won't display. Try: 'PDF of Reader XI Help'!!!

Mail viewer won't display attached photos, "Missing Plug-in"

This is a brand new issue for me, after years and years of using Mail. Today I sent an email to a friend, and attached a jpg (exported from iPhoto). When I looked at that sent email in Sent folder, there's message "Missing Plug-in" in place of the image. Last time I sent an image was about a week ago, it worked correctly at that time. I'm very sure I haven't changed any Mail settings in the interim. Is this just a problem with the viewer, or a problem with Mail itself?

File won't save - error message is: "...could not be saved. No such file or directory." (?)

File will not save or 'save as' - error message is: "...could not be saved. No such file or directory." File has been save previously. Is this a preference issue or perhaps a permissions issue?

I repeat that everything dedicated to the save process is different.
The app contain two sets of code, one used under 10.6.8, an other one used under Lion.
Here are the two states of the File Menu under Lion.
Compare them to what you get under 10.6.8.
State #1 when the frontmost document was never saved :
The menu item Save is replaced by Save…
No longer Save As… menu item replaced by Duplicate
New item : Revert Document… (disabled)
State #2 : when the frontmost document was saved at least once.
Save… is replaced by Save a Version
Duplicate is always here
Revert Document… is now enabled.
There is an important change in the title bar too.
When a file was edited we get the word Edited on the right of the doc's name. This word is the title of a local menu :

I'm trying to open a PDF file but keep getting error message "Access denied." Help.

Every time I try to open a PDF attached to an email I get the error message "Access denied." How do I fix this?

Actually my son directed me to a help site run by a guy named Brian Stevenson. Here is what I did --
1. Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader XI
2. Go to Edit>Preferences
3. Click on Security (Enhanced)
4. Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
5. Click Yes when dialog box open to remind closing of application
6. Click OK to save
7. Exit Adobe Reader
Worked like a charm!!

Not able to open links to open pdf files, nothing happens, no error messages.

work site requires pdf files to be downloaded, after updating FireFox I can't do this any longer. I have added site to "exception" for pop-ups, still nothing.

There needs to be an entry for the XI/ PI server....unless you make an entry you wont be able to access the links....can you try accessing the following link:
http://<IP-Address of PI>:<JAVA PORT of PI>/rwb/FrontComponent/FC_Secure.jsp?doAction=showMessageMonitoring
pi.com is not a standard....it was just an example.....thats why i mentioned get the FQDN from your team members
regards,
Abhishek.

Error Messages/Building Plug-ins with Eclipse SDK or VCExpress 2005

Hi,
I am an newbie in building InDesign-Plugins. I have installed the Adobe InDesign Plug-in Editor on my Windows XP PC (InDesign CS3 SDK, Eclipse, JRE 1.5, Visual Studio 2005 (VCExpress Edition for C++)).
I tried to build one of the example Plug-ins with Eclipse. After startting the build process of the "transparencyeffectui"-example or the "DollyXs"-example the following message appears:
Buildfile: F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\build.xml
win:
[echo] Now compiling FR file F:\adobe_indesign_cs3_products_sdk_503win\source\sdksamples\dollytest\Dolly.fr for win
[delete] Deleting: F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\ODFRC.res
[echo] FR Compilation Complete: Attempting to build C++ files...
BUILD FAILED
F:\SDK\workspace\DollyTest\build.xml:66: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "D:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 5\Common7\IDE\devenv.com": CreateProcess error=2, Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden
Total time: 485 milliseconds
The compiler did't start because the file "devenv.com" is missing in the "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/Common7/IDE"-directory.
The free "Visual Studio Express Edition" is delivered withot this file.
Where can i get this file? Or is it possible to change the exec line in the built-xml-file to get the Compiler started?
So I started the VCExpress-Programm an opened the transparencyeffetui-Project-File to start the build process. But again i got an error message:
1>------ Erstellen gestartet: Projekt: TransparencyEffectUI, Konfiguration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Performing Custom Build Step

1>Build log was saved at "file://f:\adobe_indesign_cs3_products_sdk_503win\build\win\objD\TransparencyEffectUI\Bui ldLog.htm"
1>TransparencyEffectUI - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Erstellen: 0 erfolgreich, Fehler bei 1, 0 aktuell, 0 übersprungen ==========
There is no "windows.h"-file in the SDK directory. I tried to include all available SDK-"inculde"-directories to the VC++ directories in the option menue in VCExpress but i got the same error message.
Any ideas how to get the plug-in build with Eclipse or Visual Studio Express 2005 (C++)?

OK, so first some background:
1) The basic process goes like this:
a) one release doc (edited by the developer, presumably) and the
template docs are copied to the build area
b) Each doc is unzipped (ODT's are just ZIP files) into a subdir
c) The doc contents are copied around; this is to allow Ant to
replace its special @VAR@ variables in the document content
d) The docs are zipped back up into ODTs
e) The ODTs are converted into PDFs using OOo's macro functionality
Here are the troubleshooting steps I would apply:
1) Make sure the external.odt file exists - check the build area
(//content/build/<pluginname>/tmp/) and can be opened using normal
OpenOffice
2) Check that the release.odt file exists (same location) and can be
opened using normal OpenOffice
3) See if you can manually convert the external.odt file into a PDF -
the command we use is simply:
soffice -invisible
macro:///Standard.Collectors.External2PDF(${pkgdir}/tmp/external.odt)
(replace ${pkgdir} with the build directory path).
If all that works, then the Ant build process should work.
Also - what does that OpenOffice error popup say?

Since I installed adobeX when I try to open a pdf file I get an error message

message "adobe cannot locate a DDE server". But it works OK when I use Chrome, but not when I try to open a file on my hard drive or while using MS IE.

You need to get a new copy of the PDF.

Illustrator 6 missing plug-ins, won't open new files

I was initially getting an error message when attempting to open Illustrator 6 on my Mac (running 10.6.8). An unknown error has occurred (4294967253). Adobe Illustrator will now quit. I read a post where the user was to select shift+option+command right after booting up. When I did that, a dialog box popped up asking if I'd like to participate in submitting feedback to Adobe and asked for my profession, location, industry, etc. It then attempted to open a new file but gave the following error: The document 'Print.ai' contains elements that are managed by plug-ins that are not currently available. You can delete or expand these elements but you cannot manipulate them in other ways. The missing plug-ins are listed below. Stroke Offset Live Effect (StrokeOffset.aip). I can open an existing file, but no tools are available to edit with and I get additional errors regarding missing plug-ins. My Mac has also been running a bit slow lately as well...not sure if the two issues are connected, but I'm willing to try anything to meet an impending deadline. I have plenty of space remaining on my computer, so that can't be it.

The exact same thing just happened to me.
Then comes another error message ( see below ).
& it doesn't like it when I replace the image (which is a TIFF by the way).

Unable to open documents because of missing plug ins

I am unable to open documents in CS3 (version 5.04)
I am getting a message:"Missing Plug Ins: Conditional Text.InDesignPlugIn, WorldReady.InDesignPlugin.
The document "xxxxx.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?"
If I click on OK I get another window, stating "Cannot Open File", a list of all kind of missing Plugins and the message "Cannot open "xxxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
I don't want to switch to CS4 and as far as I know version 5.04 of CS3 is the latest.
Any ideas of what I could do to get the latest PlugINs or anything else that would help?
Thank you!
Anne

Probably, but it's 100% not necessary when going from CS4 to CS3. It might be a case of 'half read, then half-understood'.
As this is a really frequent question and there are still no sticky posts: anyone up for a "feature request" that makes InDesign check the version number before opening? (Of course that wouldn't work backwards to CS3. Still, it'd avoid these kind of posts when CS6 comes out. Note: not CS5, because that would have no problems opening CS4, but CS4 would have problems with Cs5! Oh, for planning ahead ... )

Missing Plug-ins - Package And Preflight.APLN from InDesign Document

If a user creates a file in InDesign CC and then tries to open it in InCopy CS6 they get the following error.
Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File
PACKAGE AND PREFLIGHT.APLN
The Doument "filename.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?
This happens whether the copy of InCopy is on the same PC as InDesign or a seperate PC without InDesign. InCopy is installed seperately from the CC.
Clicking OK opens the file normally.
We have checked that both versions of the software match at v8.0.2.
I've heard it might be due to embedding of this file but the designers say they are not yet at the stage of packaging this file when they get this error so nothing should be embedded.
Can anyone help?
Simon

Hi, Thanks for pointing out the error.
I have checked back with our designer and found out that they are using InDesign CS6 and not CC. (I was confused as they used CC to install it rather than our seperate deployment tool).
The problem however remains the same.
