Quicktime Browser Plugin

Rewording my post to be Apple Mod friendly...
I accidently deleted my Quicktime 7 Browser Plugin and have no idea how to replace it. When you try to reinstall Quicktime 7 it tells you Quicktime X is already installed and stops you from going any further. 2 years ago when Quicktime X was released it was stated that a plugin was on the way but low and behold... still no word. So I need to know how to get the QT 7 Browser Plugin back on my computer, since a Quicktime X plugin is still unavailable 2 years later.
Thanks for taking the time to read,
Cheers

Unfortunately that installer doesn't install the browser plugin. I know where the plugin goes, if I could just find the file online that would work too... but haven't found anything. Even tried going to Firefox's Plugin page but when you click the download link it redirects you to Apple's site for 7.6.9 which we know is not only the wrong version but incompatible with Snow Leopard's Quicktime X.
I'd be nice if they actually provided a Quicktime X plugin, but I'll take a Quicktime 7 plugin at this point... just something to be able to quicktime media in my browser. At this point I can't watch Apple trailers or do anything that requires Quicktime for decoding.

Quicktime browser plugin problem.

I'm having a problem with the quicktime browser plugin in both Firefox and IE. Any time I open something using the plugin it plays, however the control bar (play, pause, volume etc) is displayed as a solid black bar with no visible controls. The bar still functions, you can click around until you find the play button for example.. but that gets old pretty fast. I'm currently using XP64 Pro, I've seen this problem mentioned by both Vista and XP64 users, and I've also seen people talking about having fixed the problem, but I have yet to find anything that works for me.
Any ideas?

I did a Safari Reset of some of the items in Safari such as History, webpage previews, website data, etc. and the Quicktime plugin started working again.

How do I stop downloaded MP3s playing in the QuickTime Browser Plugin?

I have a number of websites created in Flash, which are used to promote musicians and bands in Bristol, UK. I use Flash because it allows animations, music players, background music, and all the other features ideal for promotional websites.
We offer MP3s for free download so our fans and followers can own some of our tracks.
Up until last week, a link directly to an MP3 would launch the "Save As..." download dialogue, allowing users to save the files to their PC.
However, since installing QuickTime 7, when you click on a link to an MP3 it now launches a nasty little embedded Quicktime player, which you can't save from or do anything useful with.
This is absolutely useless as I already have streaming audio and a built-in music player in my site, and I can now no longer offer MP3 downloads. I don't want to have to start zipping my MP3s or anything hideous like that, does anyone know a way that I can stop this happening?
I can't expect visitors to my sites to do anything, so I need some way of changing the URL so that it doesn't trigger the QT plugin.
Would really appreciate some assistance as this has effectively ruined the most significant part of most of our websites.
Thanks

Ah, well, it was worth a try, but since you're clearly not actually reading my post - I'm using FLASH, as I clearly stated so you cannot right click.
As for the QT Mime settings, what you are saying is woefully inaccurate, and once again you aren't reading what I am writing. Quicktime is not the default player for MP3s on my PC. And as of two days ago there was no QT MP3 browser plugin either. I installed Quicktime because I have to have it to play MOV files.
By installing QT the program arbitrarily (that means it did it without any involvement or permission from me) took ownership of MP3s in the browser only. I know how MIME settings work, and I made absolutely sure that QT did not get it's hands on any of my filetypes. However, there is NOT an option to stop it playing MP3s in a browser, and it most definitely happened without my say so.
There clearly isn't an answer to this, I'll either have to put my MP3s in Zips or use some elaborate code to generate a nasty HTML page so that you can (retch) Right Click, Save As. All this because the QuickTime player has made changes that it had absolutely no right to.
Never mind, I'll find another way. But first, I'm uninstalling Quicktime forever.

Removing Quicktime Browser Plugin?

I recently installed the latest version of Itunes, which includes Quicktime 7.0.x. For certain uses, I prefer to use Real Player, not Quicktime. Specifically, in my web browser (Firefox or Explorer) many file types and links now result in the use of the Quicktime Plug-in, not Real Player, regardless of my settings.
How can I prevent this, or just simply remove the Quicktime plug-in?
Thanks.

When you installed QT7 it asked if you wanted it to be the media player by default. So now a easy way would be to right click on a media file and go to properties, where it says opens with, choose program, browse, and make the change to the media player you want to handle those files.

How do I install just the Quicktime Browser plugin?

So I would like to just have the Internet Explorer Quicktime Addon installed without having
the full quicktime 7 installed. How would I go about doing that?
Thank you in advance,

QTPlugin.ocx seems to be the add-on file itself. It doesn't appear to be asscociated with a Microsoft Installer msi on its own. Therefore I doubt can it can be just installed separately, without the entire QuickTime installed? You could pull QTPlugin.ocx out of C:\Program Files\QuickTime but then how functional would it be without the rest of the componentry of the entire QT install? And where would you put it?
Where the computer is Windows 7 it likely has Internet Explorer 11. Which seems to no longer support many plug-ins in favor of HTML5.

Adobe Reader Browser Plugin - How to disable right click print

Here is some background to my question
I'm using Adobe Reader 9.2 and have configured to use the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin.
which has the effect of launching pdf's within the IE browser rather than launching the full client. This is all working fine
I have a requirement that I need to lockdown certain menu items (for the purpose of this example, lets say "SaveAs" and "Print") and toolbars which I have also done successfully using folder level javascripts. For example I have created a HideMenuItems.js file and placed this in the "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Javascripts", here is a snippet of the file which relate to hiding / removing the SaveAs and Print items
app.hideToolbarButton("Print");
app.hideToolbarButton("SaveFileAs");
app.hideToolbarButton("Save");
These work fine and hide the Print and Save toolbar buttons from the Adobe Reader Browser plugin menu.
As an aside If I wanted to hide the same icons from the full adobe reader client I could use app.hideMenuItem("Print");
So this all works fine and I'm happy so far. Now, with these settings in place I launch the pdf within the browser, although save and print buttons are now hidden and I cannot add them back, I can still RightClick anywhere in the pdf and get the context menu, from there I can select print.
What I'm after is a way to either
(i) Selectively remove menu items from the right click context menu, and therefore remove the print option e.g something like app.[hideRightClickMenuItem]("Print") would be great but I dont know what that method is called.
or
(ii) Disable the RightClick context menu altogether for Adobe Reader Browser Plugin
Not bothered what the solution is whether its a reg hack - HKCU / HKLM / or javascript line I can add to my HideMenuItems.js, But basically I want to lock down the ability for the users to select print button from all sources including "CTRL + P",
Or if this is not possible let them hit CTRL P or right click print, but then not display the Adobe Print Dialog.
Basically the printing of the documents in handled by our web app sending a silent print to the adobe application which again works fine, I just need to prevent the users from being able to initiate a print from within the pdf when displaying the pdf in a browser.
Having searched around there is an API called AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks which is supposed to prevent right clicks, But I dont know how to use this, or whether it can be used within my HideMenuItems.js file, tried many different syntaxes but to no avail.
Does anyone have any experience in this? Adobe - do you have any suggestions ?
Cheers
Will

Hi thanks for your response, yes it seems this API is availalbe but there are no examples of how to use it. You mentioned its available in Adobe reader and Adobe Acrobat plugins. Well I'm using the Adobe Reader Active X Browser Plugin so how would I use this API to restrict the Browser plugin.l
I am not a developer writing my own custom plugins, I simply want to use the out of the box adobe reader product, specifically the Active X browser plugin, but I need to be able to customise and restrict what the user is able to do.
The reason I need to do this is that we publish IE on a citrix server which users access to launch this highly secure web based application. The sensitive data that they view is in the forms of PDFs which are viewed by the Adobe reader browser plugin within the browser. The web application controls who can save, export, print etc, so I need to be able to lock down the Adobe Reader Active X browser plugin so that the user cannot initiate save, and print functionality from within the viewed pdf. I've done this successfully by restricting the menu and toolbar items but it is still possible to right click on the viewed pdf and click select print from the context menu. This would cause us a big security flaw, which would result in users that are only supposed to view being able to click print.
I published a desktop (locked down) and published IE (locked down) all successfully with GPOs so the users cannot do anything they are not supposed to do, however Adobe reader it seems cannot be easily locked down and this is a problem as I might have to start looking at viable alterantives. Surely a simple requirement as this could be acheieved with relative ease.
In an ideal world there would be an available GPO template (.ADM file), which could be used to centrally manage these type of settings. I dont even mind writing an ADM myself, I've written many before, but for example what I need is the appropriate registry entries and how they are used to lock down / restrict certain functions so that I can write such an .ADM file.
I dont mind how I achieve this, I just need a way to do it. So if using the API AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks would achieve this, can someone please tell me how I can implement something that would use this API to restrict the right Click Print options for example.
The sort of answer I;m looking for would be
Create a file, paste in this code, place the file is this location xxxxx, this is a per machine fix so will affect all users
or
Edit the regstry and make this HKCU change xxxxx - This is obviously a per user fix so use normal methods to get this into every users profile.
or
Open up the file in this location xxxxxx and add AVAppRegisterForPageViewRightClicks = AlwaysDisable (or whatever the syntax is)
Thanks for you help
Cheers

Acrobat 9.31 / Browser Plugin - Printing Color PDF as Black and White?

I have an interesting issue for the masses. For a couple of our users (it encompasses both Windows XP x64 and Windows 7 x64), they are having an issue where when they attempt to print a PDF directly from Acrobat's browser plugin (in this case, IE8 is the browser), and attempt to print a color PDF to a color printer, the PDF comes out in black and white.
Here's some other consistents:
* Printing to a network printer, using the print driver Canon C5180-H1 Ver.2.0JM. The problem spans across two different print servers (we use a different one for XP clients and 7 clients, but the driver is the same)
* When the user clicks on "Print As Image", it does work (but doesn't look quite as good)
* When the user saves the PDF to a file and then opens it in the full Acrobat 9 Pro application, it does work (but this is a bit annoying)
Can anyone suggest some other things I should check and/or reasons that this might be happening? I'm at a total loss to explain it but will happily accept suggestions on ways to fix it.
Thanks!

Following up to see if anyone has some solid ideas on how this might be happening.
Thanks!

Browser plugin sometimes doesn't display PDF, just a blank region

Hi,
I'm running Slackware 13.37 (32-bit), with Adobe Reader 9.4.2 and Firefox 5.0.1. I have the browser plugin installed, but sometimes it does not work. As in the thread title, the document fails to display, with just a black region appearing in the browser. Sometimes, if I refresh the page a number of times, I can get the document to display. Sometimes just waiting seems to help, but not always. This isn't restricted to one particular document. It happens (seemingly) at random. sometimes a given document will display in the browser, but not at others. I can't seem to reproduce the problem consistently, making it harder to fix, I suppose. This does not seem to be a problem with my Firefox profile; I started with a new profile and the problem still occurs. The Firefox error console gives no messages pertaining to the problem :/.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm seeing the same on 32-bit Fedora 15 with:
firefox-6.0.2-1.fc15.i686
nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-1.fc15.i686
AdobeReader_enu-9.4.2-1.i486
If I kill any pdf plugin process like the following:
orion

then it works again. I'm going to try running without the wrapper for a bit. Won't help my 64-bit users though.

How to save toolbar state in browser plugin?

How do I get the Reader browser plugin to save the toolbar state?
I'm using Adobe Reader XI as a browser plugin in Firefox. I've set it to disable Read mode by default. I like to have several tools at my disposal, so I right click the toolbar and show all the page display tools that I like. When I quit and load a new PDF in the browser, the toolbar state is lost and I have to show all my favorite tools again. This gets annoying when done repeatedly throughout the day.
The native Reader program saves toolbar state. Why not the plugin?

Toolbar entries for the desktop and browser instances are different, so what you assign in one won't update the other. That's because a lot of things aren't allowed in the browser plugin. You can't directly manipulate the toolbar options in the browser instance of Adobe Reader XI, they're factory-defined.

Adobe reader & pdf browser plugin 2 license

i've got a macbookpro, & my class lectures are presented in pdf format. every time i go to open 1, i get a popup that i need to order a pdf browser plugin 2 license. it let me access my pdfs last semester by requesting register later, but this semester it's not letting me read them. nothing i've found for adobe reader shows that i need this. how do i get rid of this popup so that i can read my lecture notes?

You must have used some file that was created with that program. It is completely unnecessary for Safari or Firefox. If you have installed Adobe Reader, it should have put a plug-in into your Internet plug-ins. Find a pdf file in Finder, then select it, then right click, get info. In the window, make sure that the pdf file opens with Adobe Reader, then click on Change All. It tells the Mac to handle all pdf files with Adobe Reader, and IF you have the plug-in, you should be able to read it.

Acrobat X Browser Plugin is unusable

I have a serious problem regarding the browser plugin of Acrobat X Professional:
Each time I open a PDF-file, the new window lacks all the control items ("Save", "Print", "Pages", etc.).
There is only one small bar at the bottom of the window, which only appears when you move the mouse cursor to that area.
This is completely insane and absolutely unusable.
How can I return to the good old way, like it was in every version before?
I couldn't find an option to set the default behaviour for the browser plugin...
This is how it looks now (totally messed up):
And this is how it's supposed to be:

...that'd be Adobe.
The heads-up display was designed to maximize the document page within the browser window as much as possible, for devices such as netbooks where another toolbar can be quite a lot of vertical height to lose if your PDF page is in portrait mode. On larger screens it's not needed, but some people prefer it, especially in Reader where there's not a whole lot else on the toolbar anyway. Not all, but some.

Adobe PDF browser plugin - Programming

I have a specific requirement to implement as below
Side by side view of PDF documents
For example in same browser window I should be able to view side by side
English and French versions of PDF documents.
User should be able to scroll independently on both documents.
By clicking on a Synch button it should be possible to synchronize
scroll bar position of second document to the same position of the
first document.
I do not want to use activex because this requires installation on client user pcs.
Can anybody suggest me which tools I need to use to achieve this?
Whether we can use and customize Adobe acrobat reader browser plugin for this? If so how this can be done?
Thanks in advance

Please re-read the initial post
I have read the post.
You question was:
Is there a technical reason as to why Adobe hasn't built a plugin or Add-on for Firefox??
My answer:
Acrobat X comes with a add-on for Firefox.

Order pdf browser plugin 2 license

Mac Pro laptop OS10.6.7, running Firefox 3.6.17
When I attempt to open a .pdf document within Firefox one of two things happen:
1. the screen/tab freezes completely with a "Not registered" message shown under the frozen processing icon. Or
2. I get a pop-up that asks me to "Order PDF Browser Plugin 2 license. To order a PDF Browser Plugin 2 license, click Order License to go to the Schubert it online store." This is followed by a "Order License" button. The lower half of the pop-up is "When you have received your license code enter your name and the license code." This is followed by several buttons and blanks for name and code. Without ordering and leaving all fields blank, clicking the OK button in the lower right allows the .pdf to load albeit very slowly.
I have a screenshot of the pop-up window to forward if needed.
Thanks for the help.

Safari 3.0.4 and DjVu Browser Plugin: No Go.

I just installed the 10.4.11 Update (Combo) and everything went fine (it even fixed an old Finder glitch, the eject button next to Network and the menu bar Go/Network broken link), except for Safari, this new version doesn't let me open DjVu files. The DjVu Plugin Host standalone application doesn't work either. It just opens a blank screen.
Every time I try to open a DjVu file, using either the DjVu Browser Plugin 6.0 or 6.1 (Beta) version, Console reports this error:
NPDjVu::notify_error: IFFByteStream.not_ready
NPDjVu::notify_error: IFFByteStream.not_ready
NPDjVu::notify_error: IFFByteStream.not_ready
Is anybody having the same issue?
Thanks in advance.

I also had this bizarre behavior silently creep into the most recent not-so-harmless upgrade.
What I can't understand is why the original post is listed as "answered" here. There has been nothing resembling a satisfactory answer.
Why should something that has been working properly forever suddenly break, silently, without a warning or a way to repair it?
This has happened before; I remember one upgrade broke rsync; since that app is pretty crucial to sysadmin types, it got noticed right away and was fixed within a week.
Unfortunately, the djvu plug-in does not seem to be on apple's list of items that need to continue to work as they have for so long.

Adobe Form Detect Browser Plugin

I am new to creating and using forms. The company I work for wanted their employment application, to be able to be filled out and submitted online. I have the form created, and it works just fine in IE. It does not display right in Firefox or Chrome. Is there a way I can embed script into the form to detect the browser plugin and make it use the adobe plugin instead of the browsers default? I need it to be multi browser compatible. Thanks in advance.

Actually because Many people be it Mac or Pc for whatever reason, they avoid IE because of all the issues an incompatibilities.
Chrome in their PDF viewer can fill out forms just as good as IE.
Firefox you can set in Preferences > Helper Applications to use Reader, (instead of the built in viewer which is based on Javascript).
It’s a mistake to Write code just IE the have never been W3C compatible in which all the other Browsers have tried to be. What bost good web creators do is write specific code for IE only and also for FF/Chrome/ Safari. Opera, etc which render roughly the same.
