      So what do I now?

      I know that Chromium has dropped support for npapi plugins and all Chromium based browsers, like Opera is or will be affected.

      In fact, some npapi plugins, like Java, already no longer work in Opera.

      how do I contact Opera for them to sort this out?

      You don't, Opera does not offer individual support.

      Anyway, there is nothing much they can do. Adobe needs to release a ppapi version of their plugin or you can look for a ppapi pdf plugin.

      You can also use the pdf plugin that comes with Opera.

        Hi leocg, I am using the Adobe pdf plugin. Why I try to open an on-line pdf file I get this error message: "Adobe Reader is out of date". Clearly this is the wrong error message.

        So I'll have to contact Adobe (if I can) and see if they will issue an update to make Adobe compatible with Opera.

        While I'm waiting fo that to happen I'll have to go back to Internet Explorer. 😞

          I meant "When" not "Why". Grrr. I'm so angry I can't type properly.

            Nope, you are seeing the message most probably because of what i've said.

                Hi sgunhouse, Really? But when I cjick on "Check for updates" it says there are no updates available, I guess I need to get in touch with Adobe about this.

                Thanks for pointing that out.

                      If you're running Windows 7 you can definitely get a new version of Adobe Reader. Uninstall version 9 and go to www.adobe.com and download Acrobat Reader DC. The current version of that is 15.010.20056

                        Hi leocg, I can't see any way of editing my posts, perhaps I should use a different browser I can make comments on other websites without any problems. 😕

                        ** Silly me; I've just noticed the faint cog next to the quote mark under the silhouette. **

                            That's the newest version for XP.

                            The newer ones have a minimum OS version of 7.

                              Hi Pete8475, I've just had a look on Adobe's site. The Adobe Reader versions that are available are:

                              DC 2015.010.20056
                              DC 2015.010.010
                              11.0.10
                              10.1.4

                              (UK English)

                              I've downloaded DC2015.010.20056 and am about to install it. I use Windows 7 OS.

                                It sounds like you're downloading the newest one.

                                When you run the "check for updates" thing in Reader DC is where you'll see the 15.010.20056 version number. In the about Adobe Reader page it displays 2015.010.20056

                                  Hi Pete8475, You are correct, I've installed it and now I can view pdf files on-line with Adobe Reader - and it displays the page quickly unlike Chrome Reader which spends an interminable amount of time loading. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

                                  To anyone reading this and wanting to install Adobe Reader; BE CAREFUL: It'll try and install Google Chrome and make it your default browser so make sure you untick that option.

                                  Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. What threw me was when I checked for updates on Adobe 10 - it said there were none available. (???).

                                    Just an aside for people still using Windows XP, the very last version of Adobe Reader you can use at present is 11.0.14. Whether there will be any more updates to Reader 11 I don't know.
                                    You will have to find it here and download and install it manually, as no automatic updates have been offered on XP systems for quite some time, and earlier versions of Reader 11 will be reported as being up to date.
                                    🙂
