Safari is looking for adobe reader which is uninstalled. Help!

I installed adobe reader and for some obscure reason I made adobe the default pdf viewer. I've fixed it so that downloaded pdf files now open in preview (which I much prefer) but any pdfs on the web has safari trying to start adobe reader which I have removed from my HDD-
Please help me stop this from happening. It is driving me up a tree. I don't want adobe reader.
Cheers and thanks

Ok, so that stopped safari from looking for adobe but pdfs still won't work.
Uh, wait. Helps if I shut down safari and start it up again. Works just fine. Thanks a million!

  • Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

    All,
    I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's.  Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google.  The browser displayed the following error:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required.  Please exit and try again."
    So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
    The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat.  The installation must have changed the default viewer.  So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat.  I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..."  This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
    I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0.  But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
    Does Acrobat function independently of Reader?  Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly?  Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
    Thanks,
    Neal

    They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

  • Where is HTMLLoader.pdfCapability looking for Adobe Reader to be installed on a mac?

    I have already tried to re-install Adobe reader, have accepted end-user agreement, and now at a loss. 
    HTMLLoader.pdfCapability == HTMLPDFCapability.STATUS_OK  is always coming back as false for me, so I am hoping someone can shed some light on why.

    Did you find out what was happening? I'm having similar trouble with Flex/AIR on Mac which started happening after accepting an automatic upgrade to Reader 11. However I am finding that reinstalling 9.4 then letting it update to 9.5.2 will get it working again. At that point I have 9 installed which AIR uses and 11 installed which Finder uses as default for opening PDFs. AIR breaks again if I reinstall 11 and I have to repeat the process with installing 9.4 and the 9.5.2 update again. So it's not a very customer friendly solution. Hoping you might have found a better answer?

    Hi
    We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
      We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

    Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • Which Base MSI to Use For Adobe Reader Updates?

    I am new to creating AIP for Adobe Reader and am wondering which MSI to use as the base installer.  From what I understand, to create an AIP for Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I need to first have the AIP created for 11.0.00 and then patch it using the 11.0.07 MSP file.  (the 11.0.07 MSP file contains all other updates found in earlier quarterly releases and OOC releases)
    So my question is on obtaining the correct MSI file for creating the original 11.0.00 AIP.  My options for obtaining the correct MSI are threefold:
    The original 11.0.00 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi) (only one msiexec comand required)
    The original 11.0.00 EXE (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) (extract the files from the exe, then run the msiexec command)
    The new 11.0.07 EXE (AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe) (same as previous item)
    I noticed that the MSIs in the AIP are named "AcroRead.msi" when extracted from an EXE file (#2 and #3 above) but named "AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi" when extracted from the original MSI file (#1 above).  Are all three of these resulting MSIs the "same"?  They all have different MD5 hashes but otherwise appear identical.
    Once I have the original AIP for 11.0.00 backed up, I should be able to reuse it when new quarterly releases come out.  Can anyone help please?  What is recommended?  Thanks!

    No one answered, but I think probably all can be used.  I made a script that will automatically extract and build the AIP from the most recent EXE file provided by Adobe.  Why Adobe doesn't create a new MSI themselves is beyond me.

  • Which TCP/UDP ports need to be opened on a firewall for adobe reader and flashplayer?

    Which TCP/UDP ports need to be opened on a firewall for adobe reader and flashplaer to operate properly? This would include updating, linking, and any subset of features.

    The Acrobat Family uses TCP HTTP/HTTPS for all traffic. The following processes and ports may be active on a Windows client machine:
    AdobeARM.exe - automatic updates - port 443
    AcroRd32.exe - brand messages - port 443
    AcroRd32.exe - links in documents - anything specified in the URL
    Acrobat.exe - brand messages - port 443
    Acrobat.exe - links in documents - anything specified in the URL
    AdobeCollabSync.exe - Tracker review data - port 443
    The same ports are used by the  program components on OS X.
    There are no inbound listening ports for any elements of the Acrobat Family. Automatic updates are not pushed and there are no server processes within the software.

  • Files for Adobe Reader Cause Crash

    Every time I try to open a file for adobe reader, whether I get it embedded in my browser or download it from the internet either Safari crashes or Adobe Reader application crashes no matter what it is. I switched to firefox because Safari kept unexpectedly quitting constantly and it was becoming so frequent that I couldn't even do anything. Any advice on how to get the adobe reader plugin for safari to work(which i did install)? Or how to get any files to work? My friend has this same problem on her iBook, too.

    Hello David:
    First, I would trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart. Then I would uninstall the current Adobe reader you have installed (get all of it) and then download the latest version from the Adobe web site. FWIW, I have no trouble at all with either safari or reading PDF files.

  • Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

    Hello,
    I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
    "Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
    And I did not find my answer.  That is why I'm posting this as a question.
    So, with that out of the way....
    I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed.  What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible.  I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
    As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version.  However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
    That is why I'm here asking.  Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download?  If so, where is it on the web site?
    This does lead me to a follow up question.  Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player?  If so, where can I download them from as well.
    Thanks in advance,

    Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
    The URL to access the page is
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
    From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
      -- Windows XP 64 Bit
      -- Windows Vista 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
      -- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
    Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
    Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
    In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file.  Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
    According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
    So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009?  IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

    Are you sure that the "On My Mac" folders weren't empty? If all your mail accounts are IMAP, they may have been.

  • Looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free

    looking for some app which send SMS when there is Sim change in Iphone 4 G. Do we have any such software which is free or even paid will work.

    I thought that is what the big deal was that people did not know until they opened the box and started using the iPhone 5, that it not only worked with one carrier but several carriers.  I did not say it will work with any carrier at one time.  I was trying to find out the reason for this and why people were so surprised that the iPhone 5 had this function and the reason for it.  As stated in my post, is it there so that after your contract is up and you want to go to another carrier you do not have to purchase a new iPhone, you  cna purchase a SIM card that works with your new carrier.
    The Otterbox Defender has a tendency to let too much dirt, dust, etc. in the cracks on the case. At least this has been my expereince.  I was thinking something more along some of the really durable cases at BallisticCaseCo.com
    As far as the iPhone 5 having issues, I have heard that there were more than usual with the first couple of manufactured batches that were shipped.  For example the Map App by Apple, the scratches on the backside of hundreds of iPhones, etc.  I am hoping these will get to be less and less, but with the recent riot at the one plant in China where the iPhone 5 is assembled is supposed to increase the waiting time.

    Translation:
    I just wanted some advice on where I get a free or cheap Illustrator

    charge. Thanks anyway, that anyone has reported.

    The thing is, unless you know someone who will give you Illustrator 8 for

    Cheap is different, go to eBay and there are a good number of cheap AI 8
    version for sale at a very good price. But beware, like the previous poster
    said, make sure you have the OS and computer to run it. It requires OS 9 -
    OS X 10.4 on the Mac at the least!

  • Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

  • Developing an Add-in for Adobe Reader to insert the PDF into Lotus Notes

    Hi
    We currently have a document management solution in MS Word & Excel, where by you can open/create a document click a button that is linked to a macro and it brings a Document Management screen up and allows you to save the file into a new Lotus Notes Document.
    We are now trying to get the same functionality into Adobe Reader, whereby a user can open a PDF they have on their PC and then go to a menu item and it will perform similar function to our macro/VB that we have setup in MS Word & Excel.
    Does anyone know of anyone who has developed such an idea or could point me in the right direction of where to start developing as I have never developed any add-in/plug-ins for Adobe Reader.
    This needs to be done really in Visual Basic, but any help would be great
    Thanks
    Ian

    You start by downloading the Acrobat SDK.
    In the SDK is information about developing a plugin for Reader, which will require you to obtain a license from Adobe.  Submit the necessary paperwork to see if you are approved.   It doesn’t make much sense to start development if you don’t get approval.
    Once approved, you will want a copy of Adobe Acrobat for development as it’s easier than developing with Reader.
    Plugins are developed in C/C++ and there are samples in the SDK.
