Tabbed Browsing in Adobe Reader X

I have just returned to Adobe Reader after a number of years using Foxit. What I miss most is tabbed browsing/windows as in Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.6 and Foxit itself. Tabbed in the reader are so much easier to use than separate windows on most occaisions. However, the option for tabbed windows/browsing does not appear to be present in Adobe Reader X despite requests for it in various threads. Any suggestions on how to get tabbed browing in Adobe Reader X?

This feature is not available in Reader or Acrobat X.

PDFs will not open in Browser with Adobe Reader 9

I am using Vista Ultimate x64 (SP1) using IE7. I am using the 32-bit version of the browser. I have selected "Display PDF in browser" on the Internet settings tab of the Adobe Reader 9.
Every time I select a PDF document, it forces me to save the document to the hard drive and open it from the hard drive. It will not open the PDF in the browser. How do I fix this problem??
The above procedure did work in Windows XP (32-bit), but does not appear to work in Vista (64-bit).

I have a similar problem using Adobe Reader 9 with Vista 64. I am also using the 32 bit version of IE7. Every time I click on a pdf to open in IE7 the screen remains white without starting Adobe Reader 9 in IE7 browser window.
Using Adobe Reader independantly works without any problem. Only the IE7 plugin does not seem to work. I reinstalled Adobe Reader 9 but without any effect. Adobe Reader 8 works. How comes?

How to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi?

I'd like to how to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi.
Any help would be appreciated.

NeoChang:
You can modify the installation package using the Adobe Customization Wizard to toggle the "Display PDF in Browser" but I have not found a setting to disable JavaScript from the Wizard. I have created a script which makes the changes, but it has to be run for every user since that info is stored in the User hive of the Windows registry.
Disable JavaScript:
REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableJS /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
Disable Browser Integration:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /v bBrowserIntegration /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

Problem opening Form based PDF via Safari browser with Adobe Reader 9.3 on MAC

Hi,
I'm mentioning below the problem that we are facing when we open a form based PDF created using a licensed version of Adobe Livecycle Designer ES (Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496) on a MAC machine through a Safari Browser.
We tested this PDF form on a windows machine and the PDF opens in an IE browser via the latest Adobe reader 9.3 without any problem. I then received complaints by our clients that they were unable to open the same PDF on their Safari browser on a MAC machine, I tried to resolve the problem by downloading the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.3 for MAC but noticed that the Safari browser window would just keep refreshing the page without displaying the PDF at all. I then uninstalled the Adobe Reader 9.3 version and downloaded and installed an older version i.e., Abobe Reader 8.2 version for MAC and noticed that the PDF document successfully opened in the Safari browser. My question is why does a form based PDF work with an older version of Adobe Reader for MAC and not with the latest version? Our clients are not comfortable with the fact that we are refraining them from upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for MAC and that they would have to downgrade their existing Adobe Reader 9.3 to a lower version Adobe Reader 8.2 in order for the PDF forms to work when it should be the other way around.
Is there any fix or a patch that is currently being worked on that would resolve this issue in the latest Adobe Reader for MAC? If yes then when would it be ready? This issue is quite critical for our business and would appreciate it if this would be looked into with high priority.
Thanks and Regards,
Sheikh Huraiz Ahmed.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

How can I disable viewing of PDF-files in browser in Adobe Reader XI?

Hi everyone
After I have upgraded to Adobe Reader XI, I not longer can find the checkbox under settings>Internet, where I can disable that Adobe Reader XI viewing PDF-files in my browser.
If I instead press on the button, I can see in the dialog box Adobe refers to an article there give me instruction to turn off the viewing of PDF-files via my browser settings. When I follow these instructions, I can see that the plug-in to Adobe is disabled when I not viewing PDF-files in my browser, and enabled when I viewing PDF-files in my browser.
Therefore:
1. Why has Adobe removed the checkbox where I can disable viewing of PDF-files in my browser?
2. How can I now disable and enable viewing of PDF in my browser?
My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.
Very thanks.
Regards,
Boholdt

Hi again
I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should
disable in Internet Explorer 8.
If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called
PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see
the plugin.
Another method is between the guide for accessibility
(edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the
checkbox.
Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.
For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to
find the same assistant?
Very thanks.
Regards
Boholdt

Browser-embedded Adobe Reader doesn't permit ink signatures

I'm not sure if this is a feature, a bug or just an annoyance, but we are unable to apply ink signatures to a PDF displayed within a browser window. The same PDF displayed in a standalone Adobe Reader 9 window will allow for ink signatures to be applied to it. Why can documents in browser windows not be ink signed?
This is problematic for us because we are deploying a web-based application which collects a signature on a PDF form, which then contains a button to proceed to the next step and save the form on the server. Using Adobe Reader standalone to view and sign the PDF breaks the functionality of the form and prevents the form being saved correctly.
Colleagues developing the application report that it works successfully using a plugin for a singature pad, but we are using a tablet PC (motion C5) with a pen to apply the ink signature. There does not appear to be a plugin for this. However, we know we can apply ink signatures in standalone Adobe Reader, we simply want the same functionality in the browser-embedded window.
So far, all suggestions we have received involving buying either alternative hardware or alternative software. Neither is very helpful. Can anyone suggest a fix or workaround using Adobe Reader? Thanks.

i don't remember how it was formulated exactly. there was no printing option found. that was on my other computer (with XP). but on Windows 7 it won't even open, i'm not even talking about printing, because i wouldn't know. the window simply blank, inactive and immediately closes. online documents load....and in the end just black window or blank Reader page. In IE it gives me "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/ Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again (15:3)" - every time...

How to disable Display PDF in Browser in Adobe Reader XI?

I am having troubles with opening a report in PDF form from a web browser, and I'm trying to figure out how to disable opening a PDF in a browser in Reader XI. I tried disabling "Open in Read Mode" and "Allow Fast Web View" both individually and seperately, and none of those combinations did the trick.
Any suggestions/help are appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Lloyd6770
Try these steps. ( I'm using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Internet Explorer 9, and Adobe XI )
1. Open Adobe XI
2. Click Edit
3. Click Accessibility
4. Click Setup Assistant
5. Click top radio button 'Set Options for Screen Readers'
6. Click Next
7. Do not change options on Screen 2 of 4, Click Next
8. Do not change options on Screen 3 of 4, Click Next
9. On screen 4 of 4, remove the check mark on ' Display PDF documents in the web browser '
NOTE: I checked Internet Explorer 9 / Tools / Manage add-ons and Adobe PDF Link Helper is still enabled in Internet Explorer 9.
PDF's will open in Adobe XI as you preferred and not in your brower.
Cheers!

I don't have a "Document" tab on my Adobe Reader XI?

I've messed up the verification of a signature and I used to be able to delete the Trusted signature and start again. But the Document tab under which "Manage Trusted Identities" isn't showing. Where do I go to do this now?

Hi Tony Morwood-Leyland,
I am not able to Completely interpret your issue, so could you please elaborate more so that i can help you more accurately.
However,I have found a link ( Acrobat Help | Manage trusted identities) that seems very much relevant to your query. Please check this out and let me know if it helps or not.

Why is there no tab support on adobe reader 9.1 in Windows 7 variant

Please provide this feature. I have used it in my Linux machine. Can the same not be just propagated to Win 7?

That problem surfaced since Win7 early builds, confirmed in Beta and Release Candidate and also happens on the latest build 7260. No problem with the update feature, though. This morning Adobe updater installed version 9.1.2 without hassle.
Let's wait to know is someone here may help us in fixig this issue.
Thanks Alex

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.

'Save as' in Adobe Reader app? (Samsung Galaxy tab)

My tech will be using a Samsung Galaxy tab installed with Adobe Reader to fill-in forms I created from Adobe Acrobat X Pro. We are using DropBox to 'share' the files. The only option I am missing is a 'save as' feature on the Adobe Reader app. I've already extended all the rights of the pdf forms to Reader so according to all the forums, he should have full functionality. HOW CAN I 'SAVE AS' once he has filled out the form so he can use it for multiple equipment???

I don't believe this is possible. You might want to try to have each individual email you the file once they complete the form.

Why has adobe reader stopped reading the pdf files on external SD memory?

I have Samsung not 2 with external sd memory that I stored all my pdf files into it , I haven't had any problem with using Adobe reader for reading all files from my sd memory but for unknown reason I can't see all pdf files from sd anymore. In order to reach the files ,I have to use the folders view tab in the adobe reader instead of all pdf files view .
Thanks a lot for any feedback.

On Android OS 4.1 - 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or older, Adobe Reader for Android version 11.2.x has a known defect in the "All PDFs" view. The All PDFs view does not show the files and folders on an external SD card. A workaround is to use the Folder View instead of the All PDFs view. We have fixed the defect and plan to include the fix in the next release of Reader for Android.
On Android OS 4.4 (KitKat) only, neither All PDFs view nor Folder View shows any files or folders on an external SD card. Reader cannot save any changes to the files on an external SD card, either. We are still working on fixing the problems. In the meantime, please copy the files from your external SD card to your device's internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Documents/...) using a File Manager/Browser app or use a cloud storage service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to store files. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mavericks: Firefox and Adobe reader as standard applications?

Mavericks: I want Firefox as my standard browser and Adobe reader to open PDFs. But every time I start my iMac, Safari and Preview are set as standards again. Example: when I click a link in Mail, Safari opens instead of Firefox. So every day I have to change these settings again. What to do?

If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked
Allow user to administer this computer
Then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

PDF doesn't open up in IE 6.0 with Adobe Reader 8.1.2

Hi All
We have an app that dynamically generates PDF using FOP deployed on JBoss server running on AIX. My machine has IE 6 and Adobe Reader 8.1.2 with browser plug-in installed on Windows XP SP2.
PDF the app generates, doesn't open up within IE using the plug-in. But as I could save the PDF file and then open it using Adobe Reader, I went ahead and unchecked the option "Display PDF in Browser" (under Adobe Reader's Edit->Preferences->Internet). Doing so, opens up the PDF automatically using Adobe Reader instance outside of the browser. Though it works, I would like to avoid having all our users change their settings.
Another strange thing that I noticed is that when I run the app on my local machine with a windows version of JBoss, PDF opens up automatically w/o any issues in IE with Adobe plugin. But if the same code is deployed to the JBoss server on AIX it won't open in IE.
For testing purpose, I tried installing Foxit PDF reader, making it the default and PDF opens up fine under both Windows and AIX instances of JBoss.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Anup Alex

Hi,
We are also struggling with the same problem after upgrading the portal to NW04s SPS15. It is consuming 2 to 3 min for opening the PDF form in ESS under Travel & Expenses.
We are also with same version of Adobe i.e.8.1.2
Still waiting for the solution,
