Since deleting Adobe plug in, things messed up with my pdfs in Reader and Preview

Since restoring Preview as my default pdf browser (after deleting the Adobe plug in) I get a different menu when I hover over the bottom of the screen either in Safari or in the Reader - with fewer option - like I can't save/dowload automatically from that hover bar anymore, and the pdf's don't automatically open in preview after downloading any more. ANy ideas how to restore these features?
Thanks!

demicole,
you could try reïnstalling Adobe Reader (and its plug-in), to see if that restores your missing features. If it does, then perhaps a less destructive method could be determined to let Preview be your default PDF viewer without having to delete the Adobe plug-in.

Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
1) I made a backup
2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
And voila, it worked.

Adobe keeps crashing, you can be on a web page reading and the browser opens the page in a new browser. I did not have this problem the older versions. What can I do to fix this problem.

No. However, OS X has always used the PDF format to raster pages to printers.
It has built-in support for PDF, but some of the advanced features are not available. The Preview app can be used to view PDFs, and Safari can render PDFs in the browser.

Flash player mess up with the browser interface when using aero

when i visit the youtube and some other video websites and scroll the pages, the flash player would just mess up with the firefox interface. And i'm pretty sure that has something to do with the aero transparent effects. Does anyone has the same problem?

If your intention is to use the trial again it will not reset if you reinstall. It will remain in its ran out state.

Why so I keep getting 'blocked-plug in' message! Very frustrating. Never happened before. related to Adobe Flash Player for videos. Have deleted Adobe and put the new Adobe on, but still get message. Seems others have had this same problem.

Hi efacg,
Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

My computer is infected with Adware. I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it. Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed. Reader wasn't the problem. So how do I get Reader reinstalled?
And if anyone knows how to delete WebProtect ads, please let me know. It's actually getting worse.

Hi frostedinsilver,
I'm sorry to hear that. What a hassle.
You can download Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
Best,

Can you help please?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

I used to download illegal music files from limewire, I don't anymore though, and I've since deleted them all from my iPod and will never do it again, but could I get in trouble for what I did before?

And how can I delete the illegal music files on iTunes that me and my brother used to download? Maybe I could delete or report the music files, I really love apple and I really don't want to do this illegal stuff anymore. It's really not fair to anyone and it's also wrong. (Something I somehow couldn't see when I first got my iPod back in 2009) I buy all my music from iTunes now on my iPod, and have since deleted all the data which includes all the songs from my iPod (for a while I didn't use my iPod for music, just games) I am now afraid to put the songs I purchased and downloaded on iTunes on my computer with all of the pirated music! Please help, I really just want to know overall if apple could hate me for this, and what I can do to delete all the songs from iTunes (like the ones me and my brother downloaded that he still uses, though I guess I can't control that.)
Is it just me or was I never meant to feel like an honest user? (I really want to feel like I am)

Firstly, where do I go to delete the songs from my hard drive? Can I delete them straight from iTunes?
You can delete them right from iTunes:
- Click on the song to highlight it (select it). Alternatively, you can Control-Click on a number of songs to select them.
- Go to Edit in the Menu bar and choose Delete (alternatively, you can Right-Click on the song and choose Delete from the pop-up menu.
- You'll be asked "Are you sure you want to remove the selected song from your iTunes library." Click Remove.
- Next, you'll be asked " Do you want to move the selected song to the Recycle Bin, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder?" Click "Move to Recycle Bin"
- Empty The Recycle Bin on your desktop.
Can I delete all the illegal songs including the ones my brothers (Apparently more than one are doing this) downloaded? Would it be somehow against the rules to delete their songs even if they didn't pay for them?
It's best to talk to your brothers before deleting their stuff. Tell them how uncomfortable you feel about having 'stolen property' in your shared iTunes Library.
Could their downloading of these songs get me in trouble somehow? And lastly, should I still use iTunes on this computer if they're doing this?
If this is your computer and the Music Distributers find out through your Internet Service Provder that you/your brothers are illegally downloading/sharing music then you can get in trouble.
You can continue to use iTunes but I would really try to get this resolved with your brothers. Hope this helps and as I said earlier, you are doing the right thing by buying music legally!

Adobe Plug-Ins not loading

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my computers loading all of the default Adobe Plug-Ins such as "Comments". I've used Adobe customization wizard 8.0 to package Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.1.2 and deploy it through Windows 2003 Group Policy. All of the computers have a previous version of Adobe Acrobat Standard 8.0 loaded on them. I've ran "Repair Acrobat Installation" and validated that the api files are in the plugin directory. The only domain change made was a group policy adm template file was created to disable "Java Script" in the Acrobat program because of malware. This applies to the users when they login and is located at "HKEY_Current_USER Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\JSPrefs". The weird thing is I've been able to deploy this package to some of my test machines and virtual machines and everything installs fine. The test machines are located in the same containers has my production machines. Any idea what could be causing this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I reported this wrong. I updated the package from 8.2 to 8.2.1 and then redeployed it. Do you think I should try rebuilding the packages starting from the first update to the last?

Can I delete Adobe Reader after purchasing Adobe Acrobat?

Hey all....
I just purchased a Fujitsu ScanSnap that came with Adobe Acrobat. With that, I though I would be able to delete Adobe reader off of my computer thinking that Acrobat would now take over for all .PDF's I wanted to look at, but for some reason I'm getting an error and I had to reinstall Adobe Reader- Even now when I open a .PDF- it opens with reader- if I want to open with Acrobat, I have to open Acrobat and then open the file from the menu bar. Any help on how to get rid of reder would be appreciated!
Thanks!

From what I understand, you uninstalled Reader. However, Acrobat had already been installed. When you uninstalled Reader, you broke Acrobat and would need to do a repair. They share some files and the Acrobat uninstall is not good about checking those files. That is why things started working again when you reinstalled Reader, effectively fixing Acrobat. As graffiti said, having both is not recommended. I would suggest you uninstall Reader again and then repair Acrobat. You can also uninstall both and reinstall Acrobat. Be careful about the uninstalls on Acrobat so that you also do the proper deactivation, not reducing your number of permitted installed.

Links generated by Word Adobe plug-in are too large

Surprise me...by helping me to come up with a solution to this obscure, but very annoying, issue.
Our company recently moved from Office 2003 to 2010 and from Acrobat Pro 9 to X. We are still using Windows XP. Our standard process involves generating PDFs with internal links via an Adobe plug-in to Word--elements such as cross references and TOCs generated in Word are turned into PDF links via Distiller (not a server install).
The problem is that the links that are created using all this upgraded software are "larger" than they used to be. They encompass more than just the letters of the cross reference and often include punctuation that follows, such as periods and closing parens. This means that when we continue with our process of turning linked text blue, characters turn blue that should be black. The old setup did not do this.
Is there any way to adjust the margins/buffer/link size so that the links that are created are tighter around the linked text? Is there another way to address this? Adjusting each link of a large document is unsustainable, but leaving these characters blue is unacceptable.
Your help is appreciated!

Thanks very much for your reply.
I was hoping there would be some tweak I could make to the settings of Distiller or maybe some registry tweaks to change the link rectangle buffer size prior to the creation of the PDF links from the Word document. I understand that the links are just "rectangles on the page" once they exist in the PDF document--but even a script to decrease the size of all of the links in all directions after rendering the PDF would be helpful, since the increase in size seems to be in all directions.
I suppose I can export the links to a spreadsheet and create a formula to decrease the link measurements by a specified amount and then re-import them.
I wonder what caused the change.
Here is a screenshot of the difference if it helps at all. It's at two different magnifications, but you can still see that the period is included in one and not in the other. And the link box is larger in all directions.
Thanks again.

Did adobe install the adobe plug-in?

How can I tell if my computer was hacked by the new Adobe Flash Player Plug-in Virus.
Adobe recently requested to install an update and I tried. I do not think it installed.
Right after that my computer started acting up: The gear ineterfered with searching by stopping scrolling. I could not shut down or get out of the program. This continued for a couple of days and now has stopped.
I read that if the Adobe Plug-in was successful it is not repairable. I am not that computer savvy.
Help please from anyone.
Thank you.

What version of Mac OS X are you running? If you don't know, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.
I can't say whether that Adobe Flash Player update was legitimate or not, based on the limited information you have provided. However, I think that it's unlikely that you are infected with anything, and that the problem that you had was related to something else. I would recommend trying the things in my Mac Performance Guide.
