Re: Adobe Reader compatibility with Chrome on MAC OS Test Screen Name Jan 29, 2014 12:45 AM ( in response to pwillener ) But, though you can configure it, that won't be supported and if it doesn't work, that's the end of it. Fixed transition to theme colors when viewer loads * Updated DOM Distiller resources to the latest versions 1.6: * Added feedback form when. Install Adobe Reader XI on Mac OS X Mavericks with Chrome 34.0.1847.131 installed. Launch Adobe Reader app, and click 'yes' when asking for making it the default PDF reader program. Launch Google Chrome, navigate to chrome://plugins, cannot find Adobe Reader plugin, and can only see the Chrome PDF plugin. (restarting the OS doesn't make any difference. ) What is the expected result? Can see Adobe Reader from Chrome plugins list. What happens instead? Cannot see Adobe Reader from Chrome plugins list, and if disable Chrome PDF, the PDF files will download. So, no online PDF file can be loaded within Chrome browser with the newly installed Adobe Reader plugin. ![]() Background story and why Googlers using Mac OS X should better be able to use Adobe Reader plug-in inside Chrome: Actually, within Google, we Chinese employees need to access Morgan Stanley Smith Barney's website to fill online W8-ben form, currently the whole site (after log-in) is fully based on flash, with our Chrome browser, the pepper flash plugin can work well with the site, but all online embedded PDF forms (like tax-related w8-ben form) cannot be displayed with Chrome PDF plug-in, only Adobe Reader or Acrobat PDF plug-in can load it and let us fill in place and submit directly. Even if downloading and filling the form won't do because there's no where to upload the form. Processing To my knowledge there has *never* been a version of the Adobe Reader plugin that can be made to function in Mac Chrome. Originally, they used a Safari-specific plugin format. Then they used NPAPI, which is cross-browser, but somehow wrote it in such a way that it depended on specific internal browser details and still only really worked in Safari IIRC (it certainly didn't work in Chrome, and couldn't be made to due to its design) I haven't looked at their latest version, but if it's not in the plugin list one possibility is they released it 64-bit only. Can you run 'file' on the plugin binary in terminal and post the output here? Processing Status: WontFix Thanks; so the one with NPAPI in the name we're not loading because it's 64-bit-only. Perhaps that plugin is actually cross-browser, in which case it would work once we ship 64-bit Chrome on Mac. Someone could test with a 64-bit Canary and see what happens. I was curious about the other one so I found a machine with it installed. The bundle type is WBPL, not BRPL. ![]() That means that despite the.plugin extension, it's a WebKit plugin, not an NPAPI plugin so we (as expected) don't load it. Why they used.plugin instead of.webplugin as the extension, I have no idea. So this is WONTFIX; one plugin is 64-bit only, and the other isn't designed to work with browsers not using Apple's WebKit, so neither is expected to load on stable channel. Once we ship 64-bit, we can look again if the NPAPI plugin isn't working. If we were to summarize, it’s a copycat of Safari. That’s not a bad thing, either — Microsoft is doing something similar with, so we’re happy Google is also trimming the fat in Chrome. If you’re using Chrome for mobile, you can navigate to your flags, where an ‘Enable Reader Mode’ option exists. Turn that on, and you’ll find a new icon in your toolbar, which strips the website down to a minimum where available. Chrome on the desktop will need the ‘Enable DOM Distiller’ switch turned on. How to download photoshop for free mac 2018. Once that’s set, you’ll see a new menu item called ‘Distill page’. This is available for all Chrome channels, too, so everyone gets a shot at it. At this point, it’s safe to assume chrome’s new ‘Distill’ or ‘Reader’ mode will hit the stable version as a standalone option soon enough.
