Set version of acrobat in web browser options?

How can i change the version of acrobat to open files?
Currently it is set to v8.0 but i need it to default to acrobat reader.
Both are installed on my machine.
Within v8.0 settings, I've unchecked "display in browser"
I've disabled all v8.0 plugins in IE/Chrome/Firefox.

Having Acrobat 8 and Reader (any version) installed at the same time is not a supported configuration and can cause file association problems, like the ones you're encountering.

Web browser options/solutions????

i have a macbook, intel core 2 duo, os X version 10.5.8 .. came with safari web browser, but at some point had problems on facebook website, safari would no longer allow me to share posts anymore, so i downloaded firefox and was able to share posts on facebook again, but had problems with firefox stalling on me. any other browser options?

Your options for OS X 10.5 are very limited - Chrome no longer supports that version of OS X, and Firefox may be problematic because you have to use an old version (16 or lower) rather than the current one (26).
Ideally, you would upgrade to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for $20 - this would allow you to try other browsers, such as Chrome, and would overall improve your computing experience.
Snow Leopard can be purchased here.

Issue using Reader/Acrobat in web browser after CS3 install

I am running Windows 7 64-bit and recently installed CS3 Web Premium. During install, I was unaware of the issue concerning the "AdobePDF.dll" file and did not perform the solution provided at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401731.html.
I have encountered problems opening and utiling pdf files since, especially in a browser (using up-to-date Firefox), receiving the message:
"Adobe Acrobat: Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again."
Is there a way to correct the issue without unistalling and reinstalling with the solution above?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi, I am trying to figure out JDIC (0.9.1), and how
to use it to open an htm file in Internet Explorer.
My issue is that when I compile, it always says that
It can't reference non-static method
open(Java.io.File) from static context.
Its definitely NOT in a static context.
public void myMethod(){
File testFile = new File("Index.htm");
Desktop.open(testFile);
That definitely IS a static context.
When you see the following.
ClassName.methodOrPropertyThat is a static context because you are invoking a method or accessing a property of the class. Not an instance (object) of the class.
Note the difference between that and this
instanceName.methodOrPropertySo you need a reference to a Desktop instance.

Does this version of Firefox include web browsing at the "User Agent" category or higher?

I just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1. for Mac because I have to fill something out on a website that requires that I have Firefox 2.0.0.12 Mac with web browsing capability at the "User Agent" category or higher for Firefox.
Do I have that with what I just downloaded? Need to know ASAP.
Thanks!

Firefox 5.0.1 '''is''' higher than Firefox 2.0.0.12.
The '''UserAgent''' is a string of data which a web browser sends to each website to tell them which version of which web browser for user is using.

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)

None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Issues showing PDF files in web-browser (Windows 7 x64, 32-bit version of AdobeReader X)

I'm not sure if this is the right way to share my experience, but at least I know Google will discover this thread eventually and maybe someone else will find what I have been looking for the past 3 hours
I'm deploying the 32-bit based AdobeReader X (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950) to Windows7 32-bit and 64-bit based machines. This is a MSI deployement done through our Active Directory. Everything goes well - no errors. Except for the x64-based machines having trouble showing PDF-files in the web-browser.
I used Adobe Customization Wizard X to customize our MSI installation - this showed out to be the solution once again.
Common for the installation on Windows7 32-/64-bit were that the value in the registry database for HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe (Default) was set to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe". This is valid for the 32-bit installation as Program Files is situated in C:\Program Files, but since it's a 32-bit edition of AdobeReader that I'm installing on the 64-bit based system as well, it's installed in C:\Program Files (x86) and the reference in the registry database to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is therefore not valid - which explains why PDF files could not be displayed in the web browser. Changing the registry to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" solved it. Now this is a manual solution which might be useful on 1-2 machines but on a bigger scale it's not the right way to do it.
I could change it with a batch/vbs script but still this is only a solution of the symptom and not a solution to the core issue. I therefore focused on Adobe Customization Wizard X again.
The problem was easily solved. I opened the MSI file, loaded the transform file that I've made previously. Went to Registry > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe . I then changed the (Default) value from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" to "[INSTALLDIR]Reader\AcroRd32.exe", generated the MST file and replaced my current one for distribution. Problem solved! :-) The entry in the registry now shows : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and PDF files are open without any issues.
I hope someone can save a bit of time on this one.
Best regards!

I was able install and view the files in adobe reader 10.1.1 and in web browser window 7 64 bit machine. But when I go to Edit-preferences-internet and unchecking "display PDF in Browser" , I am not able to view the pdf files in ie 9 browser. I have used this javscript to check for pdf version.

Display PDF in Web Browser Setting

Good Morning,
We recently encountered some issues with Adobe 9.0.0 on Citrix servers. We updated to Version 9.3.4, since we had not fully tested Reader X yet.
The issue is that we have an application that calls to Adobe and opens PDF files within the application. When I log on to the citrix server locally, the setting Display in PDF Browser is selected. My account is an admin of our domain. When I log in to the server with a standard account, the setting is not selected.
I found the bBrowsing Integration key in HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobate Reader\9.0\Originals and when I am logged in with admin account it is set to 1, when I login with the non-admin account it is set to 0.
The same key also appears in HKEY_Users\.Default\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals. My question is this, can I set this globally on my Citrix servers so that the Display PDF is Browser is selected. when users login to Citrix Presentation Server, launch the applications that call to Adobe, that the pdf open in a web browsers of the applications. Currently, if you hit the link the PDF file will open in its own window.
Sorry if this is a bit wordy, but I figure it is best to give too much info as opposed to not enough.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Yes the pdf is opening in adobe. But I don't want to open a new adobe browser to open.
I want to display in the current web browser where my application is running.
eg. if u are embedding pdf file like this.
<EMBED src="temp1.pdf" width ="750" height="550"></EMBED>
It won't open the new window. It displays the result in the current window.
I have my pdf content in byte array. To wirte the above code i need a file. I even writes the byte array to a temporary pdf file. But I can't able to import that file dynamically to the WSAD workspace.
Is there any other way to embed the (byte array)pdf file in the current window.
Please advice me.
Thanks in advance.

"Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7. This happens when trying to open a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008. If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally. If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected. I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome. Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat. Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.

See if you can find a NPPDF32.DLL files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)
You can see the installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.
You can open about:plugins and about:config via the location bar, like you open a website (about: is a special protocol to access some build-in pages).
If you get a warning when opening the about:config page then you can confirm that you want to continue.

Clicking URL in web browser opens Acrobat

I'm using Acrobat 6.0 Professional, Windows XP SP2, and Internet Explorer 7.0. I have a Dell Inspiron 1520, 1.99GHz, 1.99 GB of RAM.
On some websites, when I click on a url link, it tries to open acrobat instead of going to the url. I get the following messages:
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again.
So I click OK. It opens Acrobat. I close Acrobat by clicking on the X. Then I get the following message:
There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit and try again.
So I click OK. It opens Acrobat. I close Acrobat by clicking on the X. And then it opens the correct URL in the web browser.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

On the other hand, my users want this. I just pushed out the Reader 8.2.3 update with the 8.2.0 install. Unfortunately, I had erroneously set the mst to "Make Reader default if both Acrobat and Reader are installed." They all want Acrobat to be their default. Can I use this same registry setting? I'm going to try it for a few people and see if it works.
Thanks,

How to set up Internet Explorer 9 to show pdf in Adobe Reader instead of web browser

Hi,
I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit), Internet Explorer 9 and Adobe Reader IX (v.11.0.00).
I would like to set up Internet Explorer 9 to show pdf-files in Adobe Reader program windows instead of viewing pdf-files within the web browser. Adobe Reader IX doesn't have the setting "Display pdf-files in browser" any longer, earlier versions of Adobe reader did have that setting.

How to disable updates and hide set as default browser option in firefox 31.0 for many users,like changing the setttings in any file

Hi,
I am trying to disable updates, set as default browser option and import settings from other browers permanently for many users for firefox 31.0.
can you please help me with that. I know settings are going to prefs.js file in user profile. How can make this permanent for many users.

Hi gaurav3012,
Permanent change would be locking preferences: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
However importing many users profiles to different computers may require a new profile for each user.
Currently there is an option to import bookmarks from other browsers, but not preferences.
Update preferences can be read about here: [[Configuration Options for Updates]]
Firefox ESR is also another version of Firefox that is meant for Enterprise environments [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/] that mostly has their support on their mailing list.

Acrobat reader no longer works in any web browser

Hi,
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome all tell me that the version of Acrobat I'm using won't run in a web browser or that I need to be using version 8 or 9. The interesting thing is that I have version 8 installed on my machine and it used to work fine. Any ideas?
