PDF Viewer - remove files

Thought is was the file that caused the failures downloaded lost of files, as soon as I open them and try to zoom in - failure
Question is how do I remove pdf files from viewer?
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

I agree that not being able to delete documents "on the fly" is a little (maybe a lot!) clunky. Hopefully this ability (and a better PDF viewer) will be included in an update soon.

PDF viewer removes text from tabs and search bars

Often when I open documents in the built-in PDF viewer Firefox freezes for a few seconds and then when it returns to life all the text not associated with a particular webpage is gone. The tabs for the Firefox windows have no text. The search bar has no text. The address bar has no text. The bookmarks bar has no text. If I right click I get a menu with no text. If Firefox opens any windows (such as below when I click "Automatically add") those windows have no text. I have a screenshot of this phenomenon but don't see any way of attaching it. Restarting Firefox only occasionally resolves the issue.
This was happening while I filled out this form and collected the troubleshooting information below (by guessing which textless window buttons did what.)

Default PDF viewer in Safari... removing Adobe Reader

I recently installed Adobe Reader because I find it easier to mark-up documents than in Preview, and now it is the default viewer in Safari. I have tried to change this, but the help I have found on the internet isn't working... there is no internet plug-in (that I can find) to delete, and the preferences in Reader have the "Display PDF in browser using" box grayed-out, so I can't check that either. Any advice?
Also, if you know of a better program for reading PDFs (my main problem with mark-ups on preview is that it doesn't isolate individual columns, so when highlighting, it highlights all the way across the page, as opposed to individual columns) then please share!
Thanks!

Here is the link with instructions from Adobe.
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
Go to the section called "Disable AdobePDFViewer plug-in" and follow the instructions.
You must have root user privileges to change the Safari plug-ins. To display PDFs using the Safari PDF viewer, you must disable the Adobe PDF Viewer.
Quit Safari.
Log in as the root user. The root user privileges aren't enabled by default because the root user can change system files. For more information and instructions, see one of the following Apple documents: Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X or OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user.
Choose Go > Go To Folder.
Type /Library in the Go To The Folder field, and click Go.
Create a new folder in the Library folder, and name it Internet Plug-ins Disabled.
Open the Internet Plug-ins folder, and move both the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin into the new Internet Plug-ins Disabled folder.
Note:
If both AdobePDFViewer plug-ins are still in the Internet Plug-ins folder, drag them now to the trash. You may be asked for your name and password.

PDF View "Render document failed"

I've done quite a bit of looking around, and can't seem to find any fix for preventing a "render document failed" error message when opening certain pdfs (it looks like the discussion of this problem has really died down over the past year or so). I contacted HP's Palm support, but all they did was tell me that it was a known problem and that the engineering department was working on it. When I asked for possible work-arounds, they didn't have any (other than suggesting a pdf-to-word online converter, which does not allow my necessary zooming or landscape rotation). They also couldn't explain why the new TouchPad can open multiple pdfs at once (of different types- even pdfs with comic book graphics), but the Palm Pre Plus can't.
Or is there some trick to manipulating the pdf so that it will render? I've tried reducing the file size, flattening the images, removing metadata, making it compatible with all sorts of earlier versions of Acrobat, and making it a "read only" file, but nothing's seemed to work. A 28 MB file will open just fine and allow me to read ALL of it (along with zooming and the landscape rotation using PDF Redux), but another 8 MB file gives me that "Render document failed" error message. I'd appreciate any suggestions (or a fully functional pdf viewer on this "business" smartphone)!

I can't help, but raise another question...
Others, is there another pdf reader in the App Catalog that he could try?

I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How do I change my default PDF viewer in Safari?

I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader. Ever since, when I have opened PDF files on the internet, they have opened in Acrobat. How on earth do I switch the default back to Preview, or the regular Safari pdf viewer? I don't want to view my internet PDF's in acrobat because it takes forever to load them and it is extremely cumbersom for my purposes.

To remove Acrobat as your PDF reader, go to your User Library>Internet Plug-in Folder. There you'll see the Acrobat plug-in. Click on it, then "command key + delete" will move it to the trash. Note: If your Plug-ins are used for more than one user account, you'll find them in the same folder I mentioned, however, they will be in the Main Library.
While Preview is an option for PDF viewing, I prefer PDF Browser Plugin. It's free for personal use. Quick and easy to use, I think you'll like it.

Keeping Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as the Default .PDF viewer

Ok,
So with all the new vulnerabilities with Adobe reader, our company is try to stay with the current updates of Adobe Reader. The problem I am running into with patching all the workstations is that we have a large user community that uses Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as their default .pdf viewer etc. When patching all workstations with the latest Adobe Reader it changes the default to Reader.
Has anyone had this issues? Or is there away to keep Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro the default when upgrading the Reader?
I'm thinking of removing Reader all together on the workstations that have Pro.
Thanks

That is the Adobe recommended and supported setup.
Too many problems arise when you have those two Adobe products on the same machine.

Open PDF with the built in Firefox PDF Viewer on Google Drive

I can't seem to get PDF Files to open on some websites.
For example I use Google Drive for Documents and to print them you need to use a PDF, I try to open the PDF but it just makes me download it. Is their anyway for this to get working?

You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

Acrobat Reader DC - auto defaults to .PDF viewer

I work in an enterprise environment that supports around 1200 computers. I have about 80 users that have various versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro installed on their office computers.
When we upgraded our reader product to DC and deployed it, all of the computers with Acrobat Pro installed had their default viewer changed from Acrobat Pro to Reader DC. I have not had this issue with other previous versions of Adobe Reader.
I have the Adobe Customization Tool set to "Installer will decide which product will be the default."
It is my understanding that with this selection, the installer will set the default .PDF viewer to the most secure version. (of course this is going to be the new Reader DC program)
I have already found a registry change that removed the welcome screen. Are there any other fixes, flag, switches that I can take advantage of to have the installer not change the users default viewer?
I have a lot of users that work only with Acrobat Pro and get a bit upset when their default viewer changes. Our technicians have to remote into the individual computers and switch the default viewer manually. If we had to do this each time Adobe releases an update, it would not be a sufficient use of resources. I would like more control over this. What are my options?

Hi,
You can use the LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP property as described here (Installation options — Acrobat Customization Wizard DC for Windows).

Why Nokia is losing market share?
The set of free applications is not interesting. The OVI suite is not better than the older app
A free pdf viewer should have been provided for years
Look what could be done with an Android phone
I have a 5800 X a nice piece of hardware but:
The connection to PC / files transfer / viewers are not on par with the competition, gadgets are not enough...
Sorry but if this does not improve rather quickly I will be another user moving to Android
And by the way Windows is not there yet, the main screen and the icons look flaky

PDF Viewer or Adobe Reader/QuickOffice Questions - PLEASE REPLY!

Does the D Inc ship preinstalled with the "PDF Viewer" or Adobe Reader?
Also, can you CREATE documents with Quickoffice, or does it only view doc/xls/ppt from attachments? I'm assuming you can also drag documents from the computer to the SD Card and view them on Quickoffice as well?
Thanks!

The Dinc with 2.1 had a pdf viewer but it was removed from the 2.2 update. You can download the Adobe pdf reader application from the Market for free.
I believe that the QuickOffice installed on the Dinc is for viewing files only. The full paid version of QuickOffice has more options and is available on the market.
Yes you can drag and drop documents into the sd card and they will be viewable by the QuickOffice application.

PDF viewer and Safari

The acrobat PDF viewer does not open when reading PDF files in Safari. The pdf file is opened with "preview" in safari instead. How do I get the PDF viewer to work with Safari. I have installed the acrobat reader and it detected that PDF viewer was not installed and installed it but it still doesn't open in a pdf viewer format.
Any solutions?

Songstress,
I believe that this problem can happen if you have conflicting PDF plug-ins in your Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plugins folder. If you want to use Adobe's readers, you can use Acrobat's "Repair" option (I believe it's under the Help menu in Acrobat Pro. If you prefer to use Apple's own reader, remove Adobe's PDF plugin from the above-mentioned folder. You may want to check out Manfred Shubert's popular PDF Browser plugin (http://www.shubert-it.com/).
Also, it would be work checking your ~/Library/Internet Plugins folder (in your Home directory). That is normally empty, so if you have a PDF plugin there, it could be messing things up.

Acrobat Pdf viewer Plugin Doesn't work Mozilla Products

Mountain Lion (OSX.8.2)
500 GB Hard Drive rought 200 GB left empty
Intel i7 2.8 GHZ Processor
8 GB System RAM.
In Acrobat and Reader XI (and X as well) the PDF viewer Plugin does not work. In fact it doesn't does not even show up in the Addons > Plugins.
There are three, only one appears:
The Adobe PDFViewerNPAPI.plugin only shows up.
When I try to open a PDF in any Browser that use Mozilla's Gecko engine. Just see a Bright white Screen.
I don't use Chrome or Safari on Principle. But have tested and works fine.
Other Browsers that use webkit works just fine.
Since posting this to Plugins which no one has even read. (group appears non functioning) I decided to post here.
Just to make make sure another Plugin is not interfering I removed all my Plugins and just installed the the three Plugins above. Same issue. According to addons > Plugins
only the NPAPI plugin exist.
I've posted a Bug report once again Like I have been doing on this problem since the switch from OSX.1 on Up for acrobat/Reader every new version that comes out.
Maybe someone that knows what the problem is can let me know what to fix.

Where are they advertising it? Perhaps there's more up to date information but I look in
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html - maybe the problem is that I'm looking at Reader, not Acrobat?
