PDF plug-in for Chrome bug

I am experiencing a very odd problem. Whenever I try to convert a web page into a PDF on a site where I had to log in (e.g. Amazon), my resulting PDF file contains my log in page, NOT the actual page I tried to convert.

Yes, it's an identical copy (incl. version, dates and digitally-signed certs) as far as I can see on all these 3 folders located at C:\Program files\
-> Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Browser -> nppdf32.dll
-> Mozilla Firefox\plugins -> nppdf32.dll
-> Internet Explorer\PLUGINS -> nppdf32.dll <--- This folder and file
Please also note that IE Activex controls (3 files - also at version 9.5.2.295) are located at C:\Program files\Common files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\
-> AcroPDF.dll (PDF Browser Control)
-> AcroIEHelper.dll (Adobe PDF Helper for Internet Explorer) and
-> AcroIEHelperShim.dll
Weird indeed! Any ideas?

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!

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:

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Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update.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.

How can I find a PDF plug in for Firefox 5 running on Mac OSX (10.6)

I recently installed an Update and received a message that my PDF Plug In for Firefox would be disabled, but that when the Update had been installed the Plug in would be enabled. This has not happened.
I am running Firefox 5 on Mac OSX (10.6)

I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

PDF Plug-In For Firefox found at my IE Program Folder?

Hi:
During recent troubleshooting of my Adobe Reader 9.5.2 update's installation, I found a 'PLUGINS' folder containing a copy of the 'Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox (nppdf32.dll)', located at my Internet Explorer Program's files folder.
I wonder what would a Plugin for Firefox be possibly doing with my IE's files?
Does anybody know or have seen this?
Thanks in advance.

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:

Plug-in for chrome

I want to use Adobe Reader for pdf docs in my Chrome browser but I don't have Adobe Reader plug-in at chrome://plugins/
My OS Win 7 Professional
Adobe Reader XI

Adobe PDF Plug-in for Firefox & Netscape ''9.4.1'' was causing unresponsive problems on my browser and I had to disable it . Is there anything I can do about this?

I was getting an unresponsive script warning on most web pages, but more persistent on Windows Live telling me to stop script or continue. I could view the pages by doing both and the only way i could stop the warnings from appearing was to disable the Adobe PDF Plug-in. Increasing the time for the script to run didn't seem to work either. It was taking too long for the pages to load and Firefox used to hang.
After disabling the plug-in it stopped doing it.
Does disabling it effect my browser in any other way?

Hello Vivek,
I have learned I do have the latest Adobe Reader installed and that the plug-in is included in that download & install. So apparently the problem lies with the Firefox plug-in checker.
I did the ALT + H, while in FF, & deleted the file, retried update, using the Firefox Plug-in Checker w/same results.
Then I exited FF, did the Windows key + R typed in %APPDATA% & located it then deleted it, and now wouldn't you know the Plug-In Checker is not working, (We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later.)
Just gave it another shot & it's working . But still no joy, same results, showing the plug-in needs updating - being outdated version.

Adobe pdf plug in for firefox, 10.1.4 version, does not work but can not update to new version, why?

Adobe pdf plug in does not work, when I tried to update following message appeared, "Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower has been blocked for your protection", how to solve this problem?

Could you review/adjust your preference for which program opens PDFs? I'm not sure how that drop-list behaves when there are multiple Adobe plugins. You might need to physically remove an old plugin file or two to make sure Firefox is not trying to use the old one.
* [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]] <br>
''Edit: actually this article describe how to use the Options dialog Applications section to review/change the setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]''.
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins (only one want nppdf32.dll here)
* In regedit.exe, check the following key for the source of obsolete plugins: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins
Both the file that stores download handling preferences, and the file which registers plugins, can be renamed and Firefox will regenerate them, so those remains options for further actions as well.

QuickTime Plug-in for Chrome under OSX: how to activate?

How do I activate Quicktime plug-in on Chrome running under Yosemite?
QuickTime is obviously installed on my Air because it runs e.g. with Safari.
Surely I don't have to re-download QT?
Chrome: Version 39.0.2171.95 (64-bit)
Quick Time Player: version 10.4

Thanks.
Since my first post, I found this related question on the Chrome discussion: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/chrome/chrome/pDZUWUXgKIQ
An answer from the Chromium team is at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=437565.
Basically QT is 32-bit but Chrome is 64-bit and the Chromium team don't intend to fix it.

PDF Plug-in for Firefox on Macintosh Commenting support

When I bring up a file inside the plug in, all of the commenting tools are greyed out (on Acrobat X) or simply do not appear (Acrobat 9.3). Is there a trick to getting this to work or is it planned for Beta/Production release of the plug-in?

Adobe PDF Plug-In for Firefox & Netscape 9.5.0 not installing

Win 7/ FIrefox 10/ Chrome 17/ IE 9 (All current)
I've asked this on other support sites, not getting THE answer. Be easier if I could copy/paste here, but here goes.
I download the title plug-in to my download file. Once I click on run, nothing happens, I wait 15-45 minutes, then retry to install. I get a pop-up window says "Only a single instance of this application can run at a time:" I am not getting a download progress window.
I have also attempted using Revo Uninstaller Pro to install it, same results.
I have disabled my virus blocker during this process also.
And I have followed the Adobe direct download link, but it will only let me select my OS, and language, not the version.
Close down everything start from scratch same thing. I have tried right clicking on the download, exiting browser & running as an administrator, same results.
I get the feeling, since the initial download is so brief that it is not really downloading, but what do I know.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks
I have narrowed it down to; I have the current Adobe Reader installed. Firefox Plug-in checker is telling me that it is vulnerable & needs updating. I have no idea why. I have posted it on their forum page, but haven't received any replies, I posted it yesterday. Still if you have any info that might be helpful, since I am flying by the seat of my pants, I would appreciate it. I like to drive a car-don't know how to mechanic on one.

How can I extend Adobe Viewer PDF plug-in for Browsers in order to extend saving or downloading propriety?

I need, from the viewing of pdf file from the browser, to save the pdf in a specific directory of the server automatically with a button and not downloading the file and than importing the file downloaded.
So for example I could change the propriety of the actual botton for saving the file or add another botton in order to giving pdf contents data to the server. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

See this - http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/

I'm checking my plug-ins & I have an outdated Adobe Reader PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape vers 10.1.13.16. Updating doesn't help, just says up to date.

Running Windows Vista

Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't support the current Reader XI on Windows Vista.
If the Help > Check for Updates inside Adobe Reader X says you are good, you'll have to trust Adobe on that. The Mozilla plugin checker isn't designed to have multiple current versions for different flavors of Windows (at least, the last time I checked it wasn't).
