Preferences / Internet / Display PDF in browser - checked but grayed.

Dear Support.
Windows 2008 Server R2 / Acrobat X 10.1.2
The "Display PDF in browser" is checked and grayed. I need to uncheck.
No other PDF-Software is installed.
I try to edit the Registry CurrentUser/Software/Adobe Acrobat/10.0/Originals - not worked
The User will work over an CitrixTermianlserver
Thanks

Hi
Please Check the Below Registry Entry :
Lock Path
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown
10.0 and later: The application checks the key corresponding to the "blessed" application that is named in the hard-coded key name at HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe. For example, if the value is "C:\Program Files\Acrobat 10\Adobe Acrobat.exe, then Acrobat 10 checks HKCU\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\Originals\bBrowserIntegration.
11.0: deprecated.
NOTE
: HKLM\bBrowserIntegration = 0 locks in whatever is already set in HKCU, so set both HKLM and HKCU.

Should Display PDF in Browser be able to be checked & unchecked in Preferences

I no longer can download Safari documents, like credit card statements, as PDF files. I went into Preferences/Internet and found that the "Display PDF in Browser" is not an option that can be check or unchecked. Is that the problem?

"Display PDF in Browser" is greyed out in Adobe Reader 10.1.2. This is by design.
Also, There are known compatibility issues between Safari and Adobe Reader. Please see
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90885.html
the page also includes link to an plug-in on Adobe Labs that is under development.
You can try downloading the pdf on your computer and then open it with Adobe Reader desktop application

Reader X " display PDF in browser" is checked but greyed out

Hello
I have a user who wanted to print double sided by default when opening a PDF on a web page. I found that by downloading the PDF, not printing from a browser, the user can print double- sided. But when I go in preferences the option to uncheck " display PDF in Browser" is greyed out? I'm tried running reader as admin, logging out and logging in as admin, restarting the PC, running all updates. I was going to edit the registry next but wanted to see if anyone had been having this problem? THee is no Acrobat on this Dell laptop, only Reader X. It is a Windows 7 PC, fairly new. Any help would be appreciated.

Please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e. 10.1.2 and enable the double sided printing as in the below figure:
Hope this helps.

I want to uncheck the box "Display PDF in Browser" in Reader X preferences but it is greyed out in Preferences. No one seems to know how to get it unchecked??
ANY suggestions please, am wasting my saturday morning. This issue resulted from upgrade to latest Adobe Reader version X but uninstalling and reinstalling the older version is not the answer, tried that :-)

See if this helps: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4340658

Programatically detect if Display PDF in Browser is checked

I enable Display PDF in browser but still opens in Reader

Our current client PC's are Windows XP 32-bit, IE 7, using Adobe X v.10.1.2. We have an application that opens PDF files. We have the parameter "Display PDF in browser" enabled and it opens in the browser as it should.
However, new PC's are built with Windows 7 63-bit, IE 8, using Adobe X v.10.1.2. Using the same application with the parameter "Display PDF in browser" enabled, it always asks if you want to open in Reader or save the file. That shouldn't happen. It does this whether the paramter is enabled or disabled, it also does this using 32bit IE 8 or 64bit.
Is this a Adobe bug, Win 7 bug, or how can we make it open in the browser? Using another browser is not an option. IE is the company standard.
Thanks

Does it work correctly on "normal" web pages, e.g. the PDF links near the bottom of http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums ?
In a 32-bit browser, the PDFs should open inside the browser.
With a 64-bit browser, the PDFs will open in an external Adobe Reader window.

Safari won't display pdf in browser and I do not have adobe reader or ply ins

I've been checking the posts and all the discussions/questions and answers but the only thing I have been able to find about problems displaying pdfs in browser have to do with adobe plug-ins. I never had adobe reader and checked in /library/internet plug ins and never found those plug ins. I then downloaded and installed adobe reader X and got rid of the plug ins in the library and that still has not solved the problem. Whenever I click on a link for a pdf it just automatically downloads the pdf. I just want to view the pdfs in the browser.
Thanks for the help

Hi,
You probably won't have to reinstall Safari. Two things you can try. If you open Adobe Reader and go into the 'Internet' section of its preferences, you should be able to disable the browser plug-in. Some times that alone isn't enough, in which case, browse to HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and move the Adobe plugin out of the folder. Restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

Trouble Setting "Display PDF in browser using" by MCX

I want to force the PDF viewer in Safari to Mac OS X v10.6 built-in Preview Application instead of Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4.0).
I found that unchecking "Display PDF in browser using:" in Acrobat's Preferences, sets the viewer in Safari to Preview. It seems unchecking this box modifies ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro_x86_9.0.plist. by creating the entry root => Originals (dictionary) => BrowserIntegration (array) => item 0 as number with value 0, item 1 as boolean with value 0.
With that in mind I tried creating a MCX setting in my OD to apply root => Originals (dictionary) => BrowserIntegration (array) => item 0 as number with value 0, item 1 as boolean with value 0. Witch resulted in a grayed out, but checked settings for "Display PDF in browser using:"
I was wondering if any one has successfully figured out how to set this setting?

Hi,
Firstly during the installation of Reader X, there is an option of Customize Install. You can uncheck the Safari browser plugin from there. But this was possible before install. Now since you have installed in default mode (with above option checked during install) the method to disable plugin is as follows:
To disable the plugin-
1. Go to Library > Internet Plug-Ins
2. You will see AdobePDFViewer.plugin in the list of plugins
3. Create a new folder called Disabled Plug-Ins
4. Move the AdobePDFViewer plugin into the Disabled Plug-Ins folder
5. Restart Safari
In future if you want to re-enable this then you can put this plugin back to its original location or Reinstall Reader X (if you have permanently deleted the plug-in from your system). Reinstallation works as installing in repair mode.
AcrobatX/ReaderX uses MANAGED installation method on Mac(as compared to MANUAL installation method used in earlier versions). In case of manual installation method installation and repair was dependent on "Self heal" mechanism that required the admin privileges each time it was invoked. This raised a bit of concern so to remove this Adobe now uses Managed installation method and discontinued Self Heal mechanism.

Can't uncheck 'display PDF in browser using' on mac

Reader 10.0.0
'display PDF in browser using' in the Internet preferences is stuck on to Adobe Reader. The checkbox is checked/disabled, and cannot be unchecked.
Also, viewing a PDF in the browser via FTP sticks the entire browser (hence my reason for noticing/disabling this plugin)
Had to remove the plugin file from file:///Library/Internet%20Plug-Ins/ to remove.

Cannot Display PDF in Browser

On our enterprise network I have found that suddenly folks cannot display PDF's in the Internet Explorer 7 browser.
The software and versions that are affected are:
Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.3.3
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.3
Adobe Reader 9.3.3
Troubleshooting steps I have done:
Unchecked the option to Display PDF in Browser and rechecked it/
Completely uninstalled Adobe Pro/Reader has no effect. This includes deleting all files in c:\program files\Adobe\ and c:\program files\common files\Adobe\Acrobat\
Rebooting then manually reinstalling.
It behaves the same for Adminstrator accounts.
I have deleted the AcroExch.Document registry key and then repaired Acrobat to replace it.
Not sure what else to try. Is there a registry fix or could this be set by a Group Policy? I assumed that if it was a Group Policy then it would just uncheck the 'Display in PDF Browser' option in Adobe preferences. Even if that IS checked, PDF files still open outside of Internet Explorer.
Also note: we have Internet Explorer 7. Enable 3rd Party Browser Extensions IS disabled by a Group Policy but I think that only affects the Acrobat Toolbar from being implemented, not displaying PDF in a browser.
Any other helpful suggestions on what to try next would be appreciated.

Found the problem. It was a McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention Policy that was blocking it. Once that was updated, PDF files could display in IE.

I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

Dear everyone
I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
I read a european commission document explaining that
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
I checked the following web page
Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
that is recommending the following:
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
unable to open these pdf.
Does anybody knows anything else I can do?

What is your operating system? Browser? Reader version?

Display PDF in Browser Option

I am able to open a PDF file from a particular protected Website. I can fill in the required info, but when I attempt to Save/File it back to the site, the following pops up: "For security reasons your return could not be saved. Please ensure that the 'Display PDF in Browser' option is selected under the Edit-Preferences-Internet Settings in Adobe Reader."
Adobe Reader XI, Internet Explorer 10 & Windows 7 are loaded on my PC.
I cannot trace 'Display PDF in Browser' under settings, but using Tools>Manage Add-ons>Toolbars and Extensions>Show>All Add-ons, I can see that 'Open PDFs in the Browser' is Enabled.
I also used the Registry Editor: Adobe>Reader>exe to confirm the Name, Type & Data in the string value: (ab), REG_SZ, C:\Program Files\(x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
No help is forthcoming from the Website, despite me logging a call to their service centre
Does the problem lie at my end, or the Website?

Hi Ben,
I manually added the registry setting but it made no difference.
I uninstalled 10.1.4 and reinstalled 10.1.3 and with 10.1.3 I am able to view a PDF in IE when launched from the command line.
I re-downloaded and reinstalled 10.1.4 and retried and now I can view a PDF in IE when launched from the command line.
Strange.

'Display PDF in browser' whats the default?

Can anyone tell me definitively what the current default setting has been for whether Preferences/Internet Options/'Display PDF in browser' is checked or unchecked?
I'm curious to know as well if it has changed with 8, 9, and 10?

For all three the default is "checked".
Be well...
