PDF plugin problem

Hello everyone,
a customer of us is having problems displaying PDF forms in Workspace ES. They are using IE7 with Reader 9.2. Reader is the standard application for PDF files, the "Display PDFs in browser" option has been set, but Workspace is still displaying the "You must install Adobe Reader to view this form" message. It also doesn't work if Reader is open in the background during the process.
What can be the reason for this? What can be checked to find out the reason why this problem is persisting? Maybe somebody knows what triggers this message box?
Thank you for any help,
Steffen.

Hi John,
as it turned out, there is a setting in IE where you can enable/disable ActiveX plugins. I do NOT refer to the overall ActiveX settings, but the "Manage AddOns" option in the settings dialog. There, each specific addon can be disabled/enabled separately. With some versions of Reader 9 there seemed to be a problem that (for unknown reasons) the Reader plugin was in a disabled state. Maybe you can check that?
Regards,
Steffen.

Document Composer ES 2.5: PDF Plugin Problem?

Hi, I got a screenshot from a colleague of me showing his UI of the Document Composer. I have never seen such a behaviour of the PDF plugin part It looks like that the plugin is not loaded correctly, but I have never seen such a "cross" for it. Any ideas, what could have happened here?

Pdf display problem in Adobe Reader (NOT plugin)

I looked around and found a lot of people having problems with the .pdf plugin inside Safari... that is NOT my problem... just to get it out of the way...
I have .pdf files on my iMac, files in which I work, like forms. They are standalone and have nothing to do with the web.
They have been created a while ago (couldn't say which version, but I'd say at least 5 years ago). Except, the problem isn't that the files are too old for the new versions... I am currently using those files without any problem with version 9 on my Macbook (Snow Leopard), while on the iMac (ML) I have the exact same problem no matter which version I try : version 9, version X or XI !!!
What happens is this : I open a file (form-type) and I have pale blue covering every field except the one my cursor is in... and most of the fields are flashing... flashing between that blue and the usual color, and entries/nothing.
Say a field is usually pink with a time in it, it will flash between blue and pink, and the time will appear and disappear, on and off... seemingly forever...
I just checked a file I had which is mostly text (an e-book) but with a few note-fields... these were also blue... but nothing was flashing.
It seems it's the "interactive" fields that are acting weird.
Since the problem is the same no matter the Adobe Reader version and only on my Mountain Lion computer, it seems it has to do with Mac OSX 10.8 but is there a solution? Has anyone else encountered this?

After so many hours of searching, I finally found both culprits!!!
A) the blue: It was stupid of me, really... it was simply that the "highlight existing fields" was selected (right top corner, usually). Once I de-selected it, all the blue went away... but data continued to disappear except when a box was selected. See B...
B) Do NOT, Never ever, use Preview to make changes in a .pdf file and then save the file... That was the problem!
It must've happened a few times, for example it just did this morning, on my new laptop on which I hadn't set Adobe to be my default program for .pdf and the file opened in Preview... I didn't even notice...
And after searching some more I found a few threads and all had in common that people had used Preview to make changes and save the file... seems that Preview corrupts the files!
By the way, Eric, no, opening in Preview did NOT give the same results... but files I opened that had never been opened (or, at least, not tempered with) in Preview were all fine...
Thanks for your help though!

Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it. My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive. The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

PDFs/plugin ceased working in Safari

Hi! Safari doesn't wanna display PDFs directly in the browser window any more. Some PDFs open, but use the Adobe Acrobat plugin rather than Schubertit's PDF plugin (which is set as the default and the Adobe plugin is actually disabled, at least that's what I see in the Acrobat preferences). Other PDFs don't open at all any more. Safari opens a new page when I click a link to a PDF and pretends it's opening it (progress bar and rotating little wheel), but the page stays just white when it's done. The PDF plugin used to work fine until recently. I'm not sure if a recent security update or the Safari update 2.0.1 broke it, but it started misbehaving at around the same time. Anybody else with a similar issue? Any fixes? Camino opens the same PDFs perfectly fine using PDF plugin.

William,
There is at least one other thread about this problem, which I also have as of 2.0.1, but I haven't done the latest security update or new iTunes 5 or java, etc., so I'm pretty sure it's a safari issue. Nothing that involves audio streaming (maybe video content also) works, including Flash. I've tried everything here short of re-installing Safari 2.0 (trying to figure out how to do that right now) or totally re-installing the OS, which I just did last month. I've stripped out all CMs, Prefs, Bundles, Startup Items and run all the normal maint routines, with no help.
Retrospect is also crashing now, out of the blue, so I can't even get to my older version of Safari on there. :/
I really hope someone figures this out. Here's what my crash reporter says:

Safari PDF Veiwing Problems

Having problem in viewing pdf files using the Safari browser. I have adobe professional installed on my machine. I have read in this forum that Safari has a build in pdf reader and to delete the adobe plug-in in the library/internet plug-in folder. I did delete this file but it has no effect on safari and viewing pdf files. When I select a pdf file for viewing I get just a black screen and no viewing.
Everything works properly when using Firefox if that makes any difference.
As info is greatly appreciated.
Michael

The black screen shows while it downloads the PDF when using the Adobe PDF plugin, it might take a while depending on the PDF size. give it a while, or try to view a PDF that you know is small.
Safari uses the Adobe Plugin in 32 bit mode (if present in the plugin folder), its internal renderer in 64 bit mode.
I am not sure, but I think you can only change 32/64 bit mode in Snow Leopard, in the info window for the application.

Tor-PDF-Plugin erzeugt Tracking Warnung

Beim Öffnen eines in eine Website verlinkten PDF-Dokuments mit dem Tor-Browser erscheint die Warnung:
"Die Internetseite hat versucht HTML-Canvas-Bilddaten zu extrahieren".
Hier ist wahrscheinlich das PDF-Plugin (coyright Mozilla Foundation) des Tor-Browsers beteiligt. Es scheint, dass das Seiten-Thumbnail für das PDF vom Tor-PDF-Plugin generiert wird und dass Tor das als Tracking-Image vermutet und warnt.
Ist eher ein Problem des Tor-PDF-Plugins - aber vielleicht kennt hier jemand eine Lösung, dass dies nicht als Tracking-Versuch beanstandet wird?
Danke vorab für Hinweise.

Yes stupid me forgot that the initial dir also contains a run folder. But after reading run in the INSTALL file I had /run in my mind and was a bit puzzled why one should compile into that directory.

There is no problem with either internet explorer or mozilla firefox at all. They are automatically plugined by adobe install.
Thank you

Thanks for posting the solution as that might help other users with the same issue.

Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X shows as an unknown plugin, yet I got it through mozilla! What's its latest version?

Firefox Plugin check says:
Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X
Displays PDF documents in the browser. Unknown plugin
yet I got it via Mozilla plugins.
So it's in the Firefox data base. What's the latest version?

Sorry for the delay in getting an answer, but there don't seem to be any advanced level Mac-users helping do support in this forum. <br />
1. Mozilla didn't supply that Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OSX, it is probably part of your PDF reader program, or maybe it came with your Mac operating system.
2. Lack of Plugin version information is something Mozilla has been working on for that Plugin Check page. The problem with fixing it is that there is no standard among Plugin developers for making the version number of their Mozilla Plugin available for Mozilla to locate and display. If you look at your own '''''More system details...''''' in your original posting, you can see the problems Mozilla faces when trying to fix the Plugin Check service. Eight Plugins recognized by this forums software and only the last 2 in the listing reveal the plugin version number to a website - Silverlight and Flash.<br />
* Displays PDF documents in the browser.
* Gecko default plugin
* Runs Java applets using the latest installed versions of Java. For more information: Java Embedding Plugin. Run version test: Java Information.

Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

Good day,
I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

Good day abrieb93050306,
I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
This will probably resolve your issue.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh

10.6.8 combo & 10.6.7 pdf fonts problem

Does the 10.6.8 update combo correct the pdf fonts problem that was inherent to 10.6.7? After a couple days of stress I had to do the lengthy 10.6.7 uninstall process in order to refine my doctoral dissertation. This has made me gun-shy & fearful of updates. Is it safe to update now?

The combo should fix your problem. As always have a back-up in case you have to revert.
The Font update came out to fix the problem in 10.6.7

It should be rolled into the Combo-Update:

Illustrator cs6 + msword to pdf + links problem

Hello!
BACKGROUND:
I have a TABLE that I need to inserted into my ILLUSTRATIOR file.
Whatever method I'm using is failing as the text comes in but NOT the table.
Instead, I just do this: MSWORD > Print PDF > in Illustrator > Place PDF.
PROBLEM:
But when I want to make CHANGES TO THE PDF (changes in MS WORD DOC - REprint to PDF). The PDF file does NOT show up in the LINKS Box.
Therefore, I can't UPDATE it. I'm always having to re-insert the PDF file -- INSTEAD of like the other files PSD, or .JPG, or whatever else gets UPDATED.
QUESTION:
WHY DOES THE PDF FILE not like the OTHER files that just hang out and can be updated in the LINKS box?
Thank you,
M>

I'm using PC... but the LINK selection was NOT CHECKED.
Funny. I never checked that when I placed all the other IMAGES -- like ever.
Thanks, Larry, that's exactly what needed to be done!!!!!
SOLUTION: PLACE > Check LINK box. Done.

Hi Suresh,
I just tried this thing in my systtem and it is working... BADI is trigerred everytime there is a change in the PO... even when you release there is a change in the PO so this BADI will be triggerred....
I suggest you should implement BADI in your dev system and place a break point in the POST method...
After that create a PO and release it using ME29N... thereafter when you save the PO... this method will trigger and you will have access to PO details...
PS: Remember this BADI wont work for transaction ME29...

Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33 does not print correctly. Some text comes out all garbled but looks fine on screen.

I am using Adobe PDF plugin 10.1.5.33. I can open PDF files and they look fine. When I print some of the test comes out all garbled - usually labels, notes at bottom etc. If I disable plugin then when I open PDF Firefox uses Adobe PDF reader to open file and then printing is fine. I have Adobe reader 10.1.5

I am seeing the same issue with Reader 11.0.1.36. Without the Adobe plugin enabled, no issue. Probably related to the type of font being used for the garbled text. There are many font bugs related to various fonts and various Adobe programs filed at Bugzilla. Looks like Adobe has some fixing to do with their Firefox / Netscape plugin.

PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6

PHOTOSHOP CS6 PLUGIN PROBLEM; I have PS CS6 & a mac osx 10.7.5 I have downloaded the pluginhttps://sourceforge.net/projects/panotools/ I drag it to the applications folder (applications/photoshop/plugins) and it shows up there, but it does not show up when I reopen photoshop, can anyone tell me if this is a valid plugin or what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for the link, I don't see where the licensing is listed at all, I also don't see where it says it is for existing CS2 users only & the line install a special version that does not require activation -
doesn't scream it'd be a problem to load it especially since I already own a later version that I can't use the plugin on - …I don't find the site all that informative. I appreciate all the answers & responses to my use of CS2 but I'd really just like to receive an answer to the original question of if the plugin works with it or not…if anyone has that answer I'd appreciate it.
Is there a place I can purchase it? I will gladly do so if I can get the plugin to work-that is my goal.
