Why do I get "missing plug-in"notice when trying to download a document requiring acrobat reader?

I cannot download a prospectus that requires acrobat reader.  There is a message on the site that states I am "missing plug-in".  I have contacted the issuer of the prospectus and they say the path is correct.  I have even downloaded the acrobat reader software that they suggested.  I uninstalled this because it didn't work either.  What would the missing plug-in be and where can I get it?  Thank you for any help.

I really appreciate the help.  I always have had my Preview  selected as the default.  I went through all the steps again just to make sure I hadn't inadvertently changed something.  I still cannot open this link.  You and WZZZ have made me realize I may not have explained my problem well enough.
I actually don't have an attached PDF in my email.  What they sent me was a link to a website that was to open my prospectus within the browser.  The senders of the email also stated that I would need the Adobe Reader to open it.  I downloaded their version of Adobe Reader, but that didn't work either, so I uninstalled it.  I deleted the Adobe Reader Plug-in from HDD - Library - Internet Plug-ins.  That didn't work either.  I have updated the Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (I'm not even sure this is connected to Adobe Reader but it seems to be since the AdobePDFViewer.plugin was reinserted).  None of these things has worked for opening this file. 
I am willing to download another browser. Would you recommend Opera or Firefox?

    Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion? Any ideas?

    I would complain really bad and get them to give you a Flash card that they just came out with because they've inconvenienced you so much and  you don't have hours to spend at the apple store waiting for the whole thing to load.
    The only thing about the flash cards is that it will change your whole motherboard so it won't allow you to install snow leopard or anything less, ever again. (as what the apple specialist told me over the phone).
    I would also suggest waiting. It really isn't worth the hastle and you may not benefit from installing it on your old computer... just a thought.

  • Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?

    Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?  Apple Support is the lamest excuse for support I have EVER seen.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Why do I get the message "Insufficient Permissions" when trying to download updated iTunes software

    Why do I get "Insufficient Permissions" message?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why is there suddenly an error message when trying to download pdf documents online: "cannot export document"

    Why am I recently receiving an error message when trying to download pdf documents from the web? The message reads: "cannot export document" I've updated Adobe and all software updates are current. The first indication of a problem was when I opened a pdf that I thought downloaded, but the file is blank. Now that doesn't even happen. Any help would be tremendously appreciated! Thank you, KB

    I know man what your saying. I should have written it down when it happened last night. I figured if anyone had had the same issue they might know the reason. I'll try doing a test recording today and see if the same issue arises. Meanwhile, if anyone has this happen to them please let me know. Thanks

    I get missing plug-in error when opening my online bill which is in PDF format. I am using a 2010 Macbook with the latest version of Safari and Adobe suite installed in my computer. Why do I get this error? What should I do?

    In relation to my previous inquiry regarding inability to view a pdf file using Safari...
    Is it possible that I can view other online bills from other website but not this particular bill from one specific website?
    Sorry if I missed any important point in this article -->Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
    Thanks again!

  • I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll

    I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    Just download the Link application directly to your PC, not with your BlackBerry connected.
    There's no need for the connection while your simply downloading the install file.

  • Why is it saying my password is incorrect when trying to download adobe flash?

    why is it saying my password is incorrect when trying to download adobe flash?

    Hi,
    I assume you are trying to update Flash Player on a Mac machine. If so, please use your Mac system ID and password and not the Apple ID (used for purchases on Apple Store) or any Adobe related ID.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    With regards,
    Prabhu

  • HT1926 I keep getting an msvcr80.dll error when trying to download newest version of iTunes.

    I keep getting an msvcr80.dll error when trying to download newest version of iTunes.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I'm on 4.2.1 and keep getting timed out (err=.3259) when trying to download 4.3.3. I have tried disabling the firewall and antivirus but still no luck. Any ideas?

    I'm on 4.2.1 and keep getting timed out (err=.3259) when trying to download 4.3.3. I have tried disabling the firewall and antivirus but still no luck. Any ideas?

    I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
    After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
    Try this and let me know how it works!
