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.

Some sites I can't drag and drop to the bookmark toolbar.

My bank recently changed their login page so I had to update my bookmark for them.
For some reason, when I drag the site icon onto the bookmark toolbar it doesn't add the site but instead puts a line with an arrow pointing down on top of it (almost looks like a Microsoft word editing markup).
Some sites work fine, for instance I was able to drag cnn.com to my bookmark toolbar and it worked as expected.

PDF Toolbar in IE7 Grayed Out. Why?

We are using Acrobat Standard 8 and IE7. We are experiencing an issue with the PDF toolbar in IE7. Sometimes the toolbar is grayed out and at other times it is not. This seems to happen randomly.
During a recent training class, all participants visited the same site in order to convert the web pages to PDF. Some users were able to use the PDF Toolbar to convert the web page, while others could not. Those who could not convert the web pages had the PDF toolbar, but the icon was grayed out.
If anyone could provide a reason this happens, I would be most appreciative.

I was having the same issue with Internet Explorer 7 and finally solved it by going to Tools - Manage Add-ons - Enable or Disable Add-ons. I then enabled all add-ons related to Adobe Acrobat. It worked for me, give it a try!

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.

Some sites not filling in screens

Some sites show the full screen; some do not: just show the tab & a white screen! I tried going to Mozillazine to see why, but it just showed the top of the page.

I.E 9 + Adobe PDF toolbar ( Convert )

Hello All,
I'm seeking some help relating to the Adobe PDF toolbar / add-on not appearing.
For the life of me, this toolbar will not enable itself when I click on the "enable " option.
In Manage Add-ons, under Tools, in I.E9
It shows the following enabled/disabled add-ons
Adobe PDF - Enabled
Adobe PDF Link Helper - Disabled
Adobe PDF Conversion Toolbar - Disabled
SmartSelect Class - Disabled
Im using the 32-bit version of IE btw.
No matter if I select enable or choose the ADobe PDF from the drop down list it wont show up.
I've repaired the acrobat installation, removed the createPDF add-on and reinstalled.
Now if I run the browser ( Run as Administrator )
It appears. however, im not giving this user local admin rights just to get this to appear.

So this means you have probably modified the permissions on the system via a policy to restrict the Standard Windows User Account. This may inhibit access to the ActiveX control that Acrobat/Reader both use to display PDF files in IE. You will need to use your policy tool and possibly a registry tool to monitor what the difference in access the Administrator has that the User does not and modify permissions to the registry/file system accordingly in order for the ActiveX control to work properly

Downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites U-R-G-E-N-T

Hi,
Since last year I encounter regular (close to 100%) problems downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites (for sure web-sites from which I could troubleless download PDF files in the past) The result on my HDD : 0KB pdf file ! = An empty file
This is very anoying and I am sure I am not the only one who encounters this.
Please review your procedures and make this possible again.
Note: I uninstalled Adobe Reader, reset Safari, closed Safari, re-installed Adobe Reader : no results !
THANKS FOR HELPING ASAP !
I travel a lot and have to bring my files with me as internet is not always available in the countries where I work

Hi Christian,
I've had problems for ages with this but I did notice that after I went through the reinstall with Apple yesterday I now have a couple of different options that are working.
Yesteday I uninstalled reader, restarted my computer and then reinstalled again. I didn't think it had worked for me but after some extra experimentation I have discovered a couple of things.
On some websites eg: https://www.gatewaycu.com.au/uploadedFiles/PDF/Forms/Quick%20Debit%20Authority.pdf
it is coming up with a toolbar (I suppose it's called) at the top of the PDF and it is allowing me to print and save to my desktop, open the pdf and print YEAH.
Also with another website the PDF is showing up differently. eg http://media.wix.com/ugd/99e891_6110f024d956431abb7b66dd24f19251.pdf
This shows up like it used to but the difference is that if you try to save as or print throught the safari options like I used too it doesn't work, BUT if you hover down the bottom of the PDF it brings up a bar type box (sorry I don't know the technical word for this) then you can print, save to desktop, documents etc and then print from there too.
YEAH! It looks like (I hope) that the problem is solved. You have to go about it in a couple of different ways depending on the website, but hey, I don't think that's so bad as long as I can actually print my PDF's. It's better that not being able to access any of them which is what's been happening for the last few months.
I hope this helps you guys out and if you have any problems just let me know and I'll try and explain it better for you.
Cheers
Andrea

How to lock the PDF toolbar via Registry Settings

I have just taken over administering about 300 off-site Windows XP PCs using Adobe Reader 8.0 One of our webpages that these off-site locations use generates a label for them via Adobe Reader with an option to print the label if needed. When the pdf comes up onscreen, they have a single toolbar across the top with the icons for printing, zoom in/zoom out, percentage of label, etc. Found that this toolbar is not locked down because two of our offsite locations managed to drag the print icon button out of that toolbar and then close it with no way to bring that button back to the toolbar. Since they are fairly locked down, they don't have the "File Edit View" options above that toolbar, so it's not something they can go to File > Print to get around that. We're actually having to send them a new PC for now.
I was curious if you know of a way to lock that toolbar via Registry Settings by the user so that in the future they won't accidentally remove and close their print icon again? And/or whether there's a way to put that Print icon back in the toolbar also via Registry Settings?
Thank you

If when you installed Rh10 you had selected the PDF Add-on, you likely would not have Acrobat 9 still installed. See Using RoboHelp 10 on my site.
The fact that you say Acrobat 9 is functioning correctly suggests that you did not select the add-on. I suspect that is why the settings option is not enabled.
That does not stop you generating a PDF. First, it may work without changing any settings. If not, generate to Word and then generate to PDF from there. That is what RoboHelp is doing behind the scenes.
Typically and document generated from any HTML program needs some cleaning up in Word first, if only to tidy up page breaks.

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).

Adobe 10.2 flash player doesn't work on some site with diff browsers

WTF! I've been through every forum about new adobe flash player it doesnt work on some site i.e facebook, ustream, fox news, dailymotion and cartoon network...Nobody, not even adobe has a real solution to this problem! Some site stream good other don't at all. All I get is a blue box in the display sometimes it loads, but doesn't play the video or games. Updated Java and SWF and by the way this a brand new computer fresh out the box WIN7 64 worked before why not now! I've reinstall and uninstall, checked active X java scripting, and global settings and so on, but nothing seems to work. WHY? Global settings doesn't work for some unknown reason can't enable some of the settings. Everything work fine on my PC before the update, so go figure adobe. No! browser works with the new flash player properly. Fire, IE, Safari, and Opera none of these browser work with the flash player like it should! HELP!!! "I see why apple doesnt wont to have anything to do with adobe flash."

I don't understand - in your post you mention "new Flash Player" several times, but in the subject you mention 10.2...?
What is the exact FP version you have?
For your blue box problem, have you tried to disable Hardware Acceleration?

Firefox won't allow some sites to open lightboxes or login popups.

I just got a new laptop and have discovered this issue: When I try to click links on some sites to open a lightbox or popup (usually for login boxes or photo slideshows) nothing happens. Absolutely nothing, no error message, no loading screen, no "busy" or "working" animations, no redirect. I've tried the same pages in the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Chrome and they work correctly. These sites work on my old laptop with the same version of Firefox and Vista SP2 32 bit and my work computer with Windows 7 64 bit.
I've tried disabling Add-Ons one by one and as a group, didn't make a difference. I've cleared the cache and cookies. I've turned by firewall and antivirus/antispyware/antimalware programs on and off.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

"Error loading media. File Could not be played" when trying to view streaming media on only some sites. How to fix?

Hi!
I've been having a problem trying to view streaming media, but it only happens on some sites. It's similar to a problem I have on my Windows PC, that's related to Adobe Flash, but since I'm very new to using my iPad Mini, I don't even know if Apple devices have Flash...do they?
Anyway, when I go to a site that's plagued by this issue, I tap the 'Play' arrow on my screen & the circle spins like it's gonna play, but then the screen turns black & this error message appears:
"Error loading media. File Could not be played" followed by a triangle with an exclamation point !
I read several articles online & the solutions ran from updating firmware in their router, (mine is brand new...installed last Thursday), to disabling ad-block programs in their browsers...(I don't have any enabled), and the last one was making changes to the DNS...(I know it means 'domain name server', but I don't have the foggiest idea how to make changes to it!
Anyway, that's my problem. I hope that someone out there knows what I can do to fix it!
Thanks in advance for your help.

I would assume an issue with the HTML5 media player.
If those aren't working on Windows then it is possible that the proper codecs aren't installed.
You can try to disable the HTML5 media player and make Firefox use the Flash plugin.
You can do this by setting these two prefs to false on the about:config page:
*media.windows-media-foundation.enabled
*media.directshow.enabled
