Remove unwanted Adobe Acrobat Create PDF Add-on

I just can't believe Mozilla allows this!
I installed Acrobat XI Pro for Mac and without my permission Adobe installed a Firefox add-on called "Create PDF". I can't uninstall, remove or delete it. I can only disable it. It's the only add-on that has no remove button. How can this be?
I also can't find the extension itself, in order to delete it. I tried everything, but the damn thing just can't be deleted.
I'm very disturbed that something like this is possible! Is Adobe paying Mozilla?

Unlike with Extensions and Themes (complete) the Plugins like Java, Flash player and other Adobe examples and such are not actually installed in Firefox but are on system. Firefox just scans and found compatible Plugins and is making use of them. This explains why there is no Remove button and only Activate/Deactivate which tells Firefox to make use of that Plugin on system or not.
See in '''about:plugins''' where they are located.

I would like to convert web page to a pdf file. adobe acrobat-create pdf 2.0 was perfect but I cannot access the program on my lap top. which add on should I use.

First, start with this;
Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins

Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 does not work in FireFox 4.How do i directly convert pages to PDF??Why is that your products are not backward compatable.U people are in the IT industry and should know this.Shame on You people.learn somthing form the IE team

While Updating to Fire Fox 4. It said Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0 is not supported.How come 3.6 supports but not 4. I believe you people have never heard of the term "Backward Compatibility" .U people will loose your customer/support base if every new version doesn't support some existing stuff.

'''Problem Solved FINALLY !'''
Solution:
I just updated my '''Adobe Acrobat X Pro''' to '''Version 10.1.0'''.By the way, I have to complain, Adobe is really slow in solving this problem...
Here is the official link for the Adobe Acrobat update.[http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135 <click me!>http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5135<click me!>]
After update, the extention changed from "Adobe Acrobat -Create PDF 1.0" into "Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1". And the '''"Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1" is compatiable with the firefox 4.0.1'''. A screenshot is attached as a proof.

I have the same problem for a couple of months, and I had to use a plug-in in Firefox to print a web page. I really need the web page address in the footer for reference purposes which Chrome print (Ctrl+P) does not produce.
The error message is: A supported version of Acrobat could not be found. Please install or update Acrobat to 11.0.9 or higher."
After updating to Acrobat 11.0.10 and repairing the installation the problem did not go away.
Deleting and re-installing the extension did not help either.

The Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0 extension/Firefox extension indicates it is not compatible with Firefox 24.6.0 ESR. Where could I obtain a more up to date extension for Acrobat X Pro 10.0?

Hi - I am running Acrobat X Pro 10.0.0 on my Windows XP Pro SP 3 (32-bit) laptop and Firefox 24.6.0 ESR. When I check the add-ons manager of Firefox I am receiving notication that the Acrobat X Pro - Create PDF 1.0 extension is incompatible with Firefox 24.6.0 ESR.
Is it possible to obtain a more up to date Acrobat X Pro - Create PDF extension please?
Thank you and kind regards.

Many updates to 10.0.0 are available, so this is the first thing to try. I don't know if it will help, but there are vital security fixes there too.

Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 2.0 plugin problems

Hi..
I'm not sure if this is a FF problem or Adobe but thought I would post here anyway.
I've recently installed the latest version of Adobe Acrobat and the process involved installing the FF plugin. When I allow the plugin to be installed, it messes with the FF layout. Some other third party plugins get removed from the toolbar and have to be added again and I've also noticed changes to my bookmarks toolbar.
I had a backup of my profile saved so have been able to revert things to how they were but I would like to know if anyone else has noticed any issues when adding the plugin to FF and more importantly, how to fix them please?
Thanks..
Nick :)

It looks to me, the FF plugin caused some misunderstandings / commotion / contention battles)?) within the browser.
I can not comment on side effects, but note that FF21 displays PDF files in a native mode, i.e. without any need for Adobe software and/or plugins. So uninstalling the plugin should at least remove the cause for problems - which it did, as far as I can tell.
regards

Your latest update says Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.1 will be disabled, but I must use it daily, so what am I to do?

The above question says it all. I'm currently running Firefox 6.2. Don't know what other info you need. My dilemma is simple: I can't do my work without Adobe Acrobat. You say I MUST update my version of Firefox for security reasons, but you will disable Adobe (for some indeterminate period of time). What would you do if you were me? If you want to discuss my cell is: 317-439-0915. Thanks, Bill Stanley 11/9/11

Bill,
You can achieve the same results as with Adobe Create PDF by following this procedure:
(1) Click on the Orange Firefox tab in the upper left Firefox user interface (or else the "Menu Bar" if you have it enabled), then "Save Page As" followed by "Web Page Complete" in the menu that will appear to save the web page and associated/linked folder of files on your desktop.
(2) Use the mouse to right click on the firefox icon for the saved webpage on your desktop.
(3) In the context menu that appears, choose and click on "Convert to Adobe PDF"
(4) The process takes a few seconds, but the pdf file should then appear.
(5) Delete the saved webpage file from your desktop. (Just deleting the main file will put the folder that's linked to it also into the trash)
Unlike using the Adobe PDF printer from Firefox, this will preserve any embedded url links that were in the web page and have them appear as clickable links in the pdf. And unlike using the create pdf option and typing the url into Adobe Acrobat itself it will work for sites such as some online encyclopedias that you have to log into to access.
Alternatively, you could just use Internet Explorer, on which Create PDF 1.1 does work - except if you're asking then you obviously prefer Firefox.
Of course it would be better if Adobe would keep up with the latest versions of Firefox, but it isn't doing that. At least the procedure, though more awkward than just being able to click on the create pdf icon on Firefox, does produce the same result from Firefox.

Adobe acrobat-create pdf addon not compatible for firefox 37.2

after I installed firefox 37.2, the previous adobe acrobat reader, viewer and pdf creator are suddenly unable to use. the error message is "incompatible with firefox 37.2. If so, please ask adobe whether they are able to tell me where to install the compatible addon.
I would like to know how to update such addons. Or, maybe I should downgrade my firefox version to older ones just so I can use the addon. If so, please advise how to downgrade the firefox version.
thank you.

I can't tell what version of CreatePDF you have, but version 2.0 should still be working. I think version 1.2 stopped working a while ago.
Your Adobe Acrobat plugin has a peculiar version number, according to your More System Details, of 15.7.20033. The expected value is 11.0.10.32.
Could you investigate that further by typing or pasting '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and pressing Enter. This should load a long page listing details about your plugins. If you use the Find feature (Ctrl+f) to look for '''nppdf''' can you find an entry with that version number? Is it in an odd location? The normal location for Adobe Reader would be similar to:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Reader\Air\nppdf32.dll
What do you find?

Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF Chrome Extension Doesn't Work

The extension was installed when I installed Acrobat Pro XI and worked fine until Chrome was updated to version 29 or 30. The extension is enabled, the drop down works, but it doesn't do anything when you click on the drop down choices.

Hi Ajlan Huda,
The error is encounterd when I am logged into an https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer) website. To try this on your own you need to logon to an secure website. I am assuming that you might have an amazon.com, gmail.com, facebook.com, linkedin.com, or some other secure online account that you can try this with. It will say https in the address bar and have a green padlock indicating that secured content is displayed. I will show the workflow attempting to convert a linkedin.com profile as an example:
I then click on the convert to Adobe PDF toolbar / extension in Chrome to convert the webpage to a PDF.
The Conversion to PDF progress pops up and looks like the progress cursor might stutter or restart a few times:
The output of the PDF shows a logon screen instead of the secure webpage content:
I also checked the "Webpage Conversion Settings" and "HTML Conversion Settings". Changing the 'Embed Mulitmedia Content' or 'Disable Multimedia Capture' do not seem to fix the problem
Thanks for your help with looking into this, I appreciate it.

I am able to use Acrobat using a wireless router.
Try the following:
Get the latest update from Manufacturer. Then go to printer setup utility and remove the current version. ( Do this anyway even if the same version).
Next plug Printer into a direct USB Connection. Now install Driver. Go back to Printer Setup Utility. and add Printer.
Now print a document, to verify printer works.
Now quit application, then shut down Computer.
Now switch usb printer connector from USB connector on computer to USB connector on your router.
Restart Computer.
Now open an application that uses a printer and open a document. go to Printer and Look for the Following:
Disregard the printer I have listed here that's my printer. If you see a Printer like this add to list by choosing the printer.
Now go to Printer Setup verify it has been added. Make it the Default printer.
Now Acrobat "should" be able to print from you printer.

How do i REMOVE the Adobe Acrobat Plugin.

Every time i click [Disable] then restart FF, it's back, running again.
I do not want Acrobat, as i would rather use Foxit Reader.
The only button in the Addons manager is [Disable] there does not seem to be a [Uninstall] or [Delete this plugin] option. Nor does adobe acrobat appear in Add/Remove Programs in Control panel.
Nor did i even install it in the first place. (Must have come packed with another app)
Either way, i want it gone. Please tell me where FF Stores it's addons, and which file to delete to get rid of this infuriating nuisance.

Tried the app that you linked to, no use, bloody acrobat still came back.

Just put the code directly in a document script. Any code in the document script (that is not a function) will execute on opening the document (assuming that Javascript has not been disabled on the user's end).
