Reader 9.1 on Mac / embedded multimedia / uninstall

I installed Acrobat Reader 9.1 on my Mac. I have some pdf files which contain a lot of multimedia (mostly flash) in them. Unfortunately embedded multimedia is displayed only on windows enviroment as far as I understand. If not, why reader doesn't display the flash animations in my pdf files?
Because of this problem, I wanted to uninstall reader but couldn't find a way to do this. In the release notes, it says "to uninstall double click the Acrobat Uninstaller file in Adobe folder". I checked the /Applications/Adobe folder and there is no "Acrobat Uninstaller" file there. How can I uninstall Acrobat Reader (Multi Language) on Mac OS X 10.5.1?
Thanks in advance,
Engin Uysal

I was looking at this problem because I was trying to help someone on www.superuser.com (its a question and answer site), and so I took the time to find the instructions and cross post them from here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408814.html
Then someone comes back to me and says: it's wrong. So I confirm it's wrong. I go to that page, create an Adobe account, comment on the page, and days later I get a note that says:

  • Problem opening Form based PDF via Safari browser with Adobe Reader 9.3 on MAC

    Hi,
    I'm mentioning below the problem that we are facing when we open a form based PDF created using a licensed version of Adobe Livecycle Designer ES (Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496) on a MAC machine through a Safari Browser.
    We tested this PDF form on a windows machine and the PDF opens in an IE browser via the latest Adobe reader 9.3 without any problem. I then received complaints by our clients that they were unable to open the same PDF on their Safari browser on a MAC machine, I tried to resolve the problem by downloading the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.3 for MAC but noticed that the Safari browser window would just keep refreshing the page without displaying the PDF at all. I then uninstalled the Adobe Reader 9.3 version and downloaded and installed an older version i.e., Abobe Reader 8.2 version for MAC and noticed that the PDF document successfully opened in the Safari browser. My question is why does a form based PDF work with an older version of Adobe Reader for MAC and not with the latest version? Our clients are not comfortable with the fact that we are refraining them from upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for MAC and that they would have to downgrade their existing Adobe Reader 9.3 to a lower version Adobe Reader 8.2 in order for the PDF forms to work when it should be the other way around.
    Is there any fix or a patch that is currently being worked on that would resolve this issue in the latest Adobe Reader for MAC? If yes then when would it be ready? This issue is quite critical for our business and would appreciate it if this would be looked into with high priority.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sheikh Huraiz Ahmed.

    That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
    so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
    And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
    very, very disappointing and frustrating.

  • CAC card reader now works in Mac OS....

    I finally got my CAC card reader to work in MAC OS. I used the scr3310 reader and MAC OS driver.
    Now I need to find a Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) that can use the CAC reader. I have tried both 1.0.3 and 2.0.1 with no success.
    Has anyone successfully used a RDC in MAC OS?
    Thx !!
    Mike

    The MS RDP does not yet implement SmartCard enabling (which really ***** as the MS product seems pretty well done otherwise). I got CAC (via VPN) working using RDESKTOP via the installation procedures posted by TRON in August, 2008 under the topic heading "MS Remote Desktop and smart card reader". TRON's procedure makes the appropriate modification to the CONFIGURE file during the build and uses the OpenSource (SourceForge) implementation of RDESKTOP <rdesktop.sourceforge.net>, aka, <www.rdesktop.org>.
    Here is a recap of TRON's procedure:
    =====================================================
    CARD READER ACTIVATION
    1.) Plug in your card reader
    2.) Open Terminal and run this command:
    sudo pcsctool
    3.) When prompted, enter your admin password. You should see:
    Select the approprate token driver:
    1. commonAccessCard.bundle
    2. GSCISPlugin.bundle
    3. mscMuscleCard.bundle
    4. slbCryptoflex.bundle
    Enter the number:
    4.) Type "1" (without quotes) and press enter, and you should see something like:
    Insert your token in: OmniKey CardMan 3121 00 00
    Token support updated successfully !
    5.) Keep your card reader plugged in and use rdesktop install instructions
    RDESKTOP INSTALL
    1. Make sure Xcode Tools is installed on your computer. It should be on your OS X install disk.
    2. Find out where your X11 libraries are located:
    -From the Finder menu, selct "Go" >> "Go to Folder..."
    -Type (without the quotes) "/usr/X11", and click "Go"
    You should see a bunch of folders. Make sure the "include" and "lib" folders are there. Otherwise you need to find out where the X11 "include" and "lib" folders are located on your computer.
    3. Download rdesktop and place the (unarchived) rdesktop-1.6.0 folder on your Desktop
    4. Open the X11 application (should be in your Utilities folder)
    5. In the X11 window type the following (without the quotes):
    "cd Desktop/rdesktop-1.6.0 && ./configure --enable-smartcard -x-includes=/usr/X11/include -x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib && make && sudo make install"
    4. Hit enter. When prompted, enter your administrator password and hit enter.
    rdesktop should now be installed in the following folder:
    /usr/local/bin
    So, to launch rdesktop with smartcard log in enabled, open the X11 application (or Terminal application) and type the following (without the quotes, and replace your.server.address with the server address):
    "cd /usr/local/bin && ./rdesktop -r scard your.server.address"
    Hit enter and it should launch a new X11 window that will try to access the remote server where you should be prompted for your PIN.
    To explore more options with rdesktop, open X11 and type the following (without quotes):
    "cd /usr/local/bin && ./rdesktop"
    Hit enter and you should get a list of options available to rdesktop.
    =========================================================
    TRON's procedure works. I tried to get it working using the MACPORTS (formerly DarwinPorts) <www.macports.org> implementation of RDESKTOP. It actually uses the same OpenSource implementation, but the build procedures are completely different. The MACPORTS implementation would build properly and run. But I could not get the build to enable SmartCard. I tried modifying the PORTFILE by adding a new variant call that according to SourceForge (ticket#20664) should work:
    variant smartcard description {enables smartcard forwarding} {
    configure.args-append --enable-smartcard
    It probably does work if you can get the CONFIGURE file appropriately. The variant call in the PORTFILE apparently does not do that modification on its own. MACPORTS builds and installs the various software "ports" (including RDESKTOP) by on-the-fly pulling the information form the TAR file into a temporary workspace. So you have to (somehow) make the modification happen as the CONFIGURE file is pulled into temporary workspace. I have not yet figured it out.
    The advantage of the MACPORTS implementation is that there is a simple uninstall script built into all of the software "ports". The SourceForge version of RDESKTOP has no such uninstall capability (that I can find) built in. I would, therefore, prefer to use the much more elegant MACPORTS implementation, which leads to my two questions:
    1. Has anybody found a straightforward procedure to enable SmartCards/CAC during the build of the MACPORTS version of RDESKTOP?
    2. How do I safely and cleanly uninstall the non-MACPORTS <SourceForge.org> version of RDESKTOP?

  • My windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    my windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
    As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

    where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file.  mac osx reader XI
    every time i click  on a file to downloac
    i get a reader message Before viewing PDF ... you must launch adobe reader and then accept the End User License Agreement. Ive searched  every part of the menu for this and cant fine it

    Ok, so the Reader app works. Fine, but why did you say ",the reader won't open any more", that led us a confusing direction.
    Ok, the problem is most likely caused because you downloaded Acrobat Pro, which takes over from Reader, then got rid of it. You now have part of Acrobat in Safari, not part of Adobe Reader.
    There are two things to try to fix this. The first and easiest is to download and install Adobe Reader again. That should puts its stuff back in Safari with a bit of luck.
    Important note for others following this thread. Downloading Adobe Reader is not going to help you if you have not understood and followed the instructions to "launch" Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat). Make sure you understand what "launch" means before downloading anything again.

  • Why can't I read iBooks on my Mac?

    The user unfriendly way of selling ebooks is very disapointing!
    I can not read them on my computer, only on my iPad.
    I can not lend them to my daughter, as I would do with any other form of book.
    no way I am going to buy anymore books this way!

    Because Apple has chosen not to make iBooks readable on the Mac.  As fellow users, we cannot speculate on why they have decided this.
    However, you can still read books on your Mac.  The best approach is to download the Kindle app for Mac.  Then you can buy electronic books from Amazon, and read them on your Mac (or iPad).

  • I download quite a few magazines through the app store on my iPad. I just bought an iMac and was wondering if there is a way to transfer those purchases over so that I could read them on my Mac?

    You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
    In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
    Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

    There is no native support to open PageMaker documents on the Mac. I would check to see what PageMaker document versions that InDesign CS6 can open, ether on Mac or PC.
    Adobe still has the trial of PageMaker 7 for Windows (Adobe link) and PM7 PDF, which you could install in Boot Camp, or Mac Virtual Machine in Windows 7.
    I just checked the latest release of LibreOffice, and there is no support for PageMaker anything.

    hello
    I need an app where I can read the books I've bought ibook store.

    If your Mac can be upgraded to the next version of OS X Mavericks that will be out in maybe two months, it has a version of iBooks for the Mac.
    Otherwise, I know of no way to read iBooks on the Mac at this moment.

    Hi renmusn79002737,
    Could you please try installing Reader again from the below mentioned link:
    http://get.adobe.com/reader
    Ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt downloading.
    Try again and then let me know.
