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?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Where can I find uninstaller for Adobe Reader 9 (Mac)

    Dear Adobe,
    I am currently using Mac OSX Snow Leopard with Adobe Reader 9.1. How can I uninstall the Adobe Reader 9.1 ? I have research through the web and found the following:
    Double-click the Acrobat Uninstaller file, located in the Adobe Acrobat 9 folder.
    Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall Acrobat.
    In the Authenticate dialog, type the user name and password for an administrator account and click OK. Note: The uninstaller removes only Adobe Acrobat 9 and 9.1 files from the system. It does not remove Adobe Reader files, Acrobat user data, or files that are shared with other Adobe applications.
    The problem is there is NOT such Acrobat Uninstaller inside the Adobe Acrobat 9 folder. What I did was install it again and another problem I faced. I got two Adobe Reader 9.1 inside my Application.
    Any soulution or suggestion I can take to execute the problem I faced?

    Toss the application in the trash. Go to Library/Internet Plug-ins and remove the Safari Reader plug-in you are done.

  • Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader

    Problem opening PDF files for Adobe Reader.
    I installed the latest adobe reader for my Mac. Everything is set up. Every time i go to open a pdf file, this shows up...
    "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch adobe reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
    I installed it through the adobe reader website for free. And even though it says 'by clicking "install now" you are agreeing to accept the user licence agreement terms and conditions' it still says i need to accept the T&C's.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and same thing over and over again.
    Can someone help!?!?!
    Please contact me via email direct ASAP at....

  • Need ADOBE READER download to install w/o Internet access.

    Looking for ADOBE READER for Windows XP Home/SP2. Target system is on "dialup" Internet, so download is difficult.
    I have DSL Internet at office but can find only "Installer Assistant" type executables -- (supervised download and install).  I need to download FULL PRODUCT in ZIP-FILE to thumbdrive then unzip/install on different computer.

    Thanks for the help.
    The right answer is http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    This product downloaded (to thumbdrive) as a self-installing executable.  When run on the target computer (with only 9600 dialup access) the program installed without need for the internet until the PRODUCT REGISTRATION step.

    Again, My thanks!

  • 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.

    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

    said, make sure you have the OS and computer to run it. It requires OS 9 -

  • Chinese language support for adobe reader for HP WEBOS?

    is there any traditional chinese language support for adobe reader for HP WEBOS?
    if yes, where can I download?

    Pat, I got an answer this morning. Not sure if you saw it because I don't see it posted here for some reason.  This is the answer:
    Re: forum support for Adobe Reader
    created by Nikhil.Gupta in Adobe Reader - View the full discussion
    The request being sent to the akamai server, (even when the Reader updater setting is turned OFF) is for updating the Adobe Approved Trust List (http://www.adobe.com/security/approved-trust-list.html).
    The Adobe Approved Trust List is a program that allows millions of users around the world to create digital signatures that are trusted whenever the signed document is opened in Adobe® Acrobat® or Reader® software. Essentially, both Acrobat and Reader have been programmed to reach out to a web page to periodically download a list of trusted "root" digital certificates.
    If you want you can specifically turn off the auto update functionality for the same by navigating to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager from within the Reader application. Look under the "Automatic Updates" section and you can change the setting as required or chose for the application to ask before updating the root certificates.

  • Where is the user manual for Adobe Digital Editions?

    Where is the user manual for Adobe Digital Editions?

    Thanks to you both for your replies.
    I should have explained that I have already seen 'Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions', an epub document that comes with the software.  It is only nine pages long, more of a quick guide than a manual. I had expected that there would be more to the software than is covered there.  Perhaps there isn't.  (To explain a little further: I was looking for a way to cause epub pages to print or display like the pages of the original book, but couldn't find anything about printing beyond.  That feature is present in the Bluefire Reader for iOS devices.  I tried printing a particular page using Ctrl+P and specifying the page number.  The page printed, but it was spread over two sheets of A4 paper and the page number was not printed.)

  • 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.

  • Per-user location for adobe reader plugins

    I am working on an installer which for a per-machine installation, copies a plugin to Adobe Reader's plugins directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins). But for a per-user installation, it won't have access to this directory. So, is there a per-user location for Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugins where this plugin can be installed?
    OS: Microsoft Windows 7

    There is no per-user location.
