Will Reader and Acrobat stop working inside Chrome when google blocks NPAPI extensions

Google chrome developers are making two changes to help stop malicious plugins: one is to only allow extensions downloaded from the app store, and another is to disallow NPAPI extensions altogether.

I presume the current Acrobat integration uses NPAPI - does this mean that Acrobat and Reader will soon stop working in Chrome altogether?
-- Tim

it seems to me like you're having a different problem - this shouldn't be broken at the moment (it works for me fine) and the fact that you can get it working by fiddling with the settings says to me that something else is going on with your PC. maybe you could reinstall acrobat and/or chrome?

Which Acrobat flavor ( Pro , Std) are you using and what is your OS ? Does it gives any error message on launch?

Acrobat and Reader XI getting "stopped working" error message when closing

Every computer running Windows 7 and Reader or Acrobat in our office is having an issue where the Windows error message "Adobe Reader/Acrobat has stopped working" appears as the user is exiting a PDF. It doesn't happen every time but it happens fairly often and appears to be happening on each of the 5 workstations currently running Windows 7 and either Acrobat or Reader XI. When trying to move the PDF into another folder after this happens an error message comes up stating that the file is currently open and can't be moved.

Hey emmaw7542582,
Could you please try installing Adobe Reader DC (the latest version) from the below mentioned link:
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all version
Then, try opening those PDFs again and see if the same message appears.
If that does not resolve your problem, then please share the screenshot of the error message.
Hope to get your response.

Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it. Found this in another post and it worked great.
Solution:
Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.

My PowerBook G4 says that it's connected to wifi, but it still no internet connection. The connection will work for a while, and then I'll have to run diagnostics and it will work again for a few minutes and then stop working again. What's going on??

Hi，
So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers.
if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

Because once a month acrobat stops working and I have to reinstall

because once a month acrobat stops working and I have to reinstall

Hi Aleotto,
When you say Acrobat stops working then what does exactly happen?
Does it nit launch at all? Do you get any error messages?
What if you try to repair Acrobat installation instead of uninstalling and reinstalling?
Have you checked in a new Admin account and noted the behavior?
Try turning off any Antivirus software you have or add acrobat to its exception list and check.

Why have the ports on the left of my macbook pro and the wifi and bluetooth stopped working?

Hey All,
About a week ago the two usb ports on the left of my 17" macbook pro, soundcard, wifi, and bluetooth stopped working. The power port, ethernet, remaining usb on the right are still functional. I've tried repairing the permissions and other software based solutions but to no avail. I'm worried that this might be a motherboard issue but am apprehensive about taking the ol' girl into a genius because it will probably cost more to repair than the remaining value of the system. Anyone have any ideas, can confirm my suspicion?
Thanks!

Well I'm using Google Chrome browser on Lion and when I type in that URL nothing happens. Except for the "This webpage is not available" banner.
So it looks like your website is down and what you are getting on your devices are cache.
Oh just deleted the www and now I see the page. Yup all the info looks intact. home about us products Q&A and so on.

Populate a PDF with VBA and FDF, stopped working.

I work with a non-profit children's camp where I need to be able to populate a PDF form from a MS Access database. The problem is that I do not have much server access, so I've had to find sneaky ways to do this. I can not use anything I have to install. I have been using FDF and VBA because it is what I know. Last year it stopped working in Chrome. This year it won't work in Firefox or IE either. I have to assume some change in security. It seems the problem is that PDF no longer open in my browser but download to the temp folder and open with Acrobat. This of course keeps my form from contacting the server to populate the form. I had been using a "update data" button to populate the form that opens in browser. Does anyone know of a way to do what I am trying to do without purchasing expensive software. I need to rely 100% on the user having reader.
The file can be downloaded or viewed here (though it doesn't show the button unless you download, though it used to);

I guessed that was the case but testing it on several computers then and now the default handling seems to have changed. I am now looking for a way to do this either a different (but similar) way or to somehow get around this change.

Flash Player stopped working for Chrome in Windows 8

Randomly, the flash player stopped working for Chrome. I run a Windows 8 system. Everytime I go to a website that uses the flash plugin (youtube, video streaming websites) a bar pops up telling me that the plug in will only work in the desktop. I've never encountered this problem before.
I have:
1. Checked to see if I needed updates. I'm all updated.
2. Reinstalled Chrome to try and fix it, to no avail.
Additionally, when I view the Flash Player settings from my control panel, under Advanced Settings, it says that the plug in version is not installed. However, I'm unable to click on that or click on the settings that say "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)".
What is going on? I really disllike running Chrome from the desktop and would like this to be fixed.

Chrome uses its own "proprietary" build of Flash Player, so you WON'T see any plugin in your control panel for it. You verify that it's enabled by typing "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome address bar. I'd provide a screenshot but I've REMOVED Chroime from EVERY system I have because it uses WAY TOO MUCH processor and it was launching by itself in the background on my Win 8 machine. I won't tolerate that out of ANY software.

Is there a cleaner that wipe all versions of Reader and Acrobat?

I am running Windows XP SP3 and IE8.
I made the mistake of trying to upgrade Reader from version 7 and now I keep getting a message that Reader will not work inside my browser. It looks lik it keeps trying to open Acrobat instead of Reader. I can't seem to fix this and I can't get rid of the Adobe Add-ons in IE. I need something that will comletely wipe all traces of Reader and Acrobat so I can start over again. Does anyone know of a cleaner that is available to do this?
Thanks for any help.

Which is why Adobe started building cleaner versions 3-4 years ago. Versions 9 and earlier are no longer supported so building tools for them has a lower priority than adding features to the existing cleaner for 10 and 11.
For a list of all product versions, see the Release Notes. For what versions can coexist, see the admin guide (yes: Reader and Acrobat can be of different versions with limitations).
Both docs reside at www.adobe.com/go/acrobatetk.

X1 Carbon touchpad and trackpad stops working.

Received my new X1 Carbon 2014 this week. After only two minutes of use, the trackpad and toucphpad stopped working.
I hade to use an external mouse, and even after all driver updates it still didn`t work.
If I restart the machine, sometimes the track-touchpad will work, but suddenly it freezes up again (after only minutes of use), and I will have to restart to fix the problem. Have used it for 5 hrs now, and how probably restarted about 30-40 times.
Anyone know what is causing this problem and/or how I can fix it?

Same issue here.
Bought my X1 carbon 20A7 last month.
The touchpad and trackpoint stop working after a while. Sometimes after minutes of use, sometimes after half an hour. When I close the lid, to let it go to sleep, and wake it up again they both work again. Another interesting (might be a coincedance) issue is that when I wake the laptop up after this has ocurred, the fingerprint reader does not work to log back on.
I have done a fresh install of windows 8.1 and updated all windows and Lenovo drivers.
I hope this gets solved quickly. It's kind of ridiculous for such a premium laptop.
Lenovo?

Hi Abdelhediamir,
Is the mobile data connection (with your provider) up and running? Are you able to browse the web using the phone's browser? If no, this is most likely the reason why the issue is happening. Kindly coordinate with your Network Provider to get the correct Internet/APN settings via SMS. Save it on the phone so it will be configured.

I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an iMAC. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe about this. What do I do? Ed

I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an IMAC and it doesn't work on that either. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe. What do I do? Thanks, Ed

That because the activation servers were retired. Now for the good news:
Adobe has provided a non-activation version of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for their CS2 license holders.
Download the Mac version of Photoshop (not the suite) and copy down the serial number next to it. Do not use your original serial number or cs2 disc.
Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
Uh... one more thing CS2 is PPC only. OSX 10.6.8 has Rosetta to run legacy PPC products. 10.7 and above will not.
Good luck,
Gene

Highlight texts in Adobe Reader and Acrobat

I need to highlight the texts/words in Adobe Reader and Acrobat as well. Is there any common function/API available for both?
