Thereare a lot of plug-ins (I mean not a browser plugin to view pdfs, but plugins of reader itself, e.g. for internet access, commenting a pdf, javascript in pdf, 3d in pdf and so on) pre installed with "Adobe Reader X", almost 25. Some of them are annoying, some of them are unsafe to be enabled (e.g. Adobe Multimedia plug-ins allows PDF files to use built-in Flash, which is usually outdated and vulnerable in any version; ECMAScript may be vulnerable; Comments are annoying and never-will-use-it for me).
Plug-ins add more functionality, but they also increase the memory needed and security risks. To minimize memory requirements, you may want to install only the plug-ins that you use. To load a plug-in correctly, you must place it in the plug-ins folder. You can temporarily disable plug-ins when starting your software.
When developing a Reader-enabled plugin, follow the steps described in Creating an Adobe Reader plugin to make specific changes to your plugin code in order for Adobe Reader to recognize and load it. For information on obtaining a license key for enabling your Reader plugin, see the site for the Acrobat Reader Integration Key License (RIKLA) Program at _program.
Host Function Tables (HFTs) are tables of function pointers, essentially providing a means by which plugins call methods in Adobe Reader. The following HFTs are available for development with Adobe Reader:
This might have happened to you that the browser you normally use for the internet does not open PDF files with Adobe Reader. Usually, this happens a lot as some well-known navigation programs already have a serial PDF viewer. Besides, we can say that the external plugin's usage like Adobe Reader is now decreased more and more, mainly to remove security issues and not to fill the browser with useless components. So, we have discussed below how to install and enable the Adobe reader plugin.
Sadly, not every browser supports the Adobe reader plug-in. This support is only offered by Safari and Mozilla firefox. This indicates that if you use some other browser than these, you will not be able to access it. Also, note that it is not possible to install and enable the Adobe reader plugin on mobile devices.
Google Chrome will not work with the Adobe Reader plug-in and you cannot be able to restore it with the Adobe Reader in the future. Google has already announced in April 2015 that it is disabling support for NPAPI plugins in Chrome by default. Later, in September, they removed the NPAPI support in the browser completely.

due to some unavoidable reasons I need to disable Google Chrome's "Chrome PDF Viewer" and enable the adob PDF viewer. I want to do this from C#.net and
asp.net Code. I know it is not possible directly as it is related to change setting's on a client machine but I am ready to ask permission from user if s/he wants to disable the default viewer.
The reason behind this work is that all my PDFs created in iTextSharp are not functioning properly in Google Chrome due to Chrome's default reader. Not all user's can find and disable the plugin manually, hence I want it to be done by code. I need to know that how we can disable the default PDF viewer. AFter this my problem will be solved automatically. pls give me any suggestion about code
Aslong as your embedding the pdf in a html file the following might work for you....
Try changing the type of the embed to type="application/vnd.adobe.pdfxml", I know this isnt what your serving but when I tried it on a normal pdf the plugin didnt choke and showed the pdf using Adobes plugin without having to disable the default (Chromes) reader.
I had to test this on a version of the Adobe plugin that is a bit old as Im on dialup and couldnt be bothered downloading a 50 something meg file just for testing ;). So you should test it on the newest plugin.
Hope it works out for you.
EDIT:
Heres an example page of how to make the pdf take up the full screen like if you just pointed straight to the file...
-browser-window.html
...its also the page I did my test on.
I use iTextSharp, and Chrome was causing issues when both the Chrome PDF and Adobe were enabled. The submit button would send FDF data back to the server even though the form specified sending the data as XFDF. Setting ContentType to "application/vnd.adobe.pdfxml" solved the problem.
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is a popular and leading PDF tool that has been trusted by users across the world for many years to view and edit PDF files. It's especially known for its browser integration, which helps users access their PDF files from their browsers instead of launching Adobe Reader.
In this article, we'll cover how to download and install the Adobe Reader plugin on different browsers to help you access your PDF files from your browser. Note that most browsers include native PDF plugins for viewing PDFs, though these lack many of the features that come with a standalone PDF application. Before introducing the Adobe Reader plugin, we'd like to recommend a simple alternative program.
Wondershare PDFelement - PDF Editor is a simple yet robust alternative to Adobe Reader. A PDF reader at first glance, PDFelement also offers multiple other features that give you full control over your PDF documents.
PDFelement lets users create and fill forms and manipulate scanned documents, thanks to the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature. It also gives you the power to merge and split PDF files, insert and replace PDF pages, and extract content from PDF files. It further enables you to insert and edit annotations, add bates numbers, hyperlinks, bookmarks, watermarks, passwords, digital signatures, footers, headers, and redaction for sensitive documents.
Like many other browsers, Google Chrome comes with its own PDF plugin for viewing and printing PDF files. To install the Adobe Reader plugin instead, you will have to deactivate Chrome's native PDF reader. To do this, follow this procedure:
Like Chrome, Firefox uses its own inbuilt PDF viewer for PDF files as well. To make Adobe Reader the default PDF viewer on Firefox, you have to overwrite the default PDF settings. Follow these steps to do so:
For Internet Explorer, activating the Adobe Reader plugin will depend on the version of Internet Explore you are using. Follow these steps to activate the plugin for your version of Internet Explorer.
Safari also has its own native PDF viewer that comes with macOS. You can download and install the Adobe Reader plugin for your Safari browser to change the default PDF viewing tool to Adobe Reader. Note that to you need ver10.5.8 and ver10.6.4 of macOS X if you are running on Safari 4 and macOS X ver10.6.4 for Safari.
Plugins for some applications such as Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Photoshop for Apple M1 are referred to as native plugins. These plugins require system admin permission for installation/uninstallation because these plugins are installed at the system level (OS level).
