Adobe PDF Viewer X in Safari 5 not displaying documents protected by HTTP Authentication

I have the latest Adobe Reader X release (10.0.0) for Mac OS X 10.6 in Safari 5.0.3. The PDF Viewer is unable to display files hosted on directories protected by HTTP Authentication. The progress bar keeps spinning forever.
I've tried it on several Macs and various Apache web servers, with both Basic and Digest Authentification.
Adobe PDF Viewer running on Mac OS X 10.5 doesn't have this problem. Adobe PDF Viewer X running on Windows XP with Safari 5 doesn't either. So it is specific to the latest release for Mac OS X 10.6.
Any idea for a fix? I can't revert to a previous version of Reader since the older plug-in doesn't run in 64-bit Safari (the default on Snow Leopard) - please don't tell me to force Safari to run in 32-bit mode.
Is it at least a known bug that will be fixed soon?

You mean disabling HTTP Authentication? Yes, of course. And it works without it. That's how I know that the cause of the problem is HTTP Authentication.

  • Safari 8 not displaying lock icon for https secured websites

    It seems that Safari 8 (installed with Yosemite) is not showing the lock icon for HTTPS websites.
    I can't find a way to see the security certificates for secure websites.
    I switched the “Show full website address” setting in Safari's Preferences, but nothing happened.
    It's essential having this icon, or any way to tell if the site is secure or not.
    I don't see any other option in the menus or anywhere else in Safari to see a sites certificates.

    I'm not sure if Safari was updated since your question, but today the lock icon is in the address bar right next to the address
    This forum page shows:
    Or, a non-Apple site, like google, just shows a grey lock like this:

  • Adobe PDF Viewer not recognized by Mac Safari

    An internet-based program (LEED Online: https://www.leedonline.com/irj/go/km/docs/documents/usgbc/leed/config/common/login/browser AdobeReq.htm)  I run through Safari requires the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin to be installed. When I upgraded my Safari to 5.1.7 (which a program I used requires) the dobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.4 shows as installed, but the AdobePDFViewer.plugin is not recognized by Safari.
    I have tried re-installing Adobe XI to see if the PDFViewer.plugin installs, and it does not. When I revert back to Adobe 10.1.4 the same is true--no PDFViewer Plugin. I am using MacOSX 10.6.8 which is also required.
    I need the following:
    Mac 10.6.8
    Adobe 10.1.4 or XI
    Safari 5.1.7 (not negotiable for the program that I use through Safari)
    Please help, as this is work related!!

  • Adobe PDF Viewer and Safari

    I have recently installed CS3.
    Now whenever I try to open a PDF on a webpage I just get a error box saying Adobe PDF viewer cant open the file.
    How can I revert Safari to open PDF files in Preview again?

    How can I revert Safari to open PDF files in Preview again?
    You don't need to do that; Safari is perfectly capable of rendering a PDF by itself. You don't need Preview or Adobe Reader.
    To do that again:
    1. Quit Safari if it's running.
    2. Launch Adobe Reader, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box at the top of that window where it says "Display PDFs in browser using:".
    3. Go to /Library/Plug Ins and delete the Adobe PDFviewer Plugin.
    4. Enter the following command in Terminal, press Enter, then quit Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false
    5. Restart Safari and try dragging a PDF file from your Mac onto an open browser window.

  • Windows 8 - Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available

    I have two new Dell touchscreen laptops with Windows 8 (not 8.1).
    I am unable to get the tile/app integrated browser to open PDF files.   Upon downloading a PDF it reports "Adobe PDF Viewer Not Available".
    I've gone to the app store from Microsoft, and downloaded the tile/app reader, and it reports being installed....but no joy.  I've gone to the Adobe site, and looked for and installed any/all Windows 8 viewers I can find, but it still doesn't work.
    I CAN view PDF files by clicking on the Windows key, clicking on the desktop, opening IE, then using the Adobe Reader 11 that was installed.  This seems so pointless, because the only way to view a PDF is to take about 4 extra clicks than I do in Ubuntu, Windows 7, or a Mac.
    What's up with this?

    Internet Explorer has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
    (a) The desktop version of IE supports plugins and accelerators.  This is the version that you launch from the Windows 8/RT desktop.
    (b) The Windows Store app version (with "Modern" or "Metro" UI) of IE is touch-optimized, full screen, and plugin free. This is the version that you launch by tapping/clicking the tile in the Start screen.
    See the Microsoft documentation titled Get ready for plug-in free browsing.
    "Starting with Windows 8, IE is one web platform that provides two browsing experiences: the new IE in the new Windows UI optimized for touch devices, and the traditional browsing experience of Internet Explorer for the desktop. As a Windows app, Internet Explorer runs without plug-ins so that you have a clean, fast, and secure web browsing experience, while also providing a native Adobe Flash player. "
    Similarly, Adobe Reader also has two versions on Windows 8/RT.
    (a) The desktop version is called Adobe Reader XI. It is a mature product that has been available in the market for the past 20 years and offers a rich set of features.  It supports in-browser viewing of PDFs by installing the browser plugin to the desktop version of IE.  However, the downsides of the desktop version are the incompatibility with the Windows RT operating system and security vulnerabilities. In general, the desktop version is less secure than the Windows Store app version.
    (b) The Windows Store app version is called Adobe Reader Touch.  It is a relatively new product that was introduced a year ago.  It does not support in-browser viewing of PDFs because of the security restrictions that are imposed on all Windows Store apps. It is compatible with both Windows 8 and RT operating systems. 
    Because the Windows Store app version of IE is designed to be plugin-free, no other desktop/Windows Store apps (hence, not even Adobe Reader XI) can install additional plugins (other than the Flash support that is built-in by default).
    If you want the in-browser PDF viewing support, you need to use the desktop version of IE and the desktop version of a PDF viewer like Adobe Reader XI.
    This is the application architecture decision that Microsoft has made deliberately. It's not a bug or oversight.
    Microsoft has the Windows Store app version of PDF viewer called "Reader".  It may be possible for Microsoft to add the in-browser PDF viewing support using Reader (just like Google Chrome does) in a future release of the Windows Store app version of IE.  But it did not happen in the newer version of the operating systems: Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1.
    If you have any feature requests/suggestions/questions regarding the Windows Store app version of IE, please visit the Microsoft forum instead.

  • How to make firefox open a URL in a PDF document which is loaded using Adobe PDF viewer in firefox to always in a new browser window ?

    Hi
    I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF viewer.
    Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
    Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new firefox browser window ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sen Lee

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Safari does not display pdf's properly...

    MacMini 2010, OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.10
    Safari is not displaying pdf's properly that I can see perfectly in Chrome and Firefox...I get this weird pattern of black shapes....
    Works OK on my laptop OS 10.7.5, Safari 6.1.1 (after I allow it to access Adobe Reader...)
    Any ideas? The pdfs are printed/made from MS word docs. The header is a placed image. Also attaching screen shot from FF.
    Thanks

  • Adobe PDF viewer in MFC Hangs while using in Child Dialog

    Hi,
    I  am using Adobe PDF viewer ActiveX control in one of my application   made in MFC. The PDF viewer Loads PDF and Work well when i place it in  a  Parent Dialog. But, If i use it in Dialog that is embedded as a  Child  dialog to another dialog, it just hangs the entire application if  i try  to scroll up/down the viewer or click any print/zoom etc options  that  comes with Adobe PDF viewer.
    Could any  body help me on this, It already cost me a day to get a  solution.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I did forget to mention that I am now trying this under Windows 2000 Professional SP4 and VB6 SP5.
    Also I made a mistake in my previous post, I have Reader 7 on my pc, not 9.
    Adobe Acrobat Browser Control type Library 1.0 (AcroPDF.dll) can only be added to the project as a reference,
    not as a component. Project - Component does not list this. I tried selecting Project - Components - Browse.
    I then browsed to folder where I placed the AcroPDF.dll (C:\WINNT\system32). It was not listed in the default list since this lists
    only ocx files. I selected to show all files and the dll was then listed.
    If I selected this I received a message
    The file 'C:\WINNT\system32\AcroPDF.dll' was not registerable as an ActiveX component.
    Adding Adobe Acrobat Browser Control type Library 1.0 as a reference did not show anything in the toolbox.
    There was no red logo in the toolbox items.
    I definitely selected the General list and there was no sign of any Adobe or Acrobat item
    I then tried right click on toolbox, selected Components and Adobe Acrobat Browser Control type Library 1.0
    was not there.

  • Safari will not display pdf files since installing OS 10.8.2

    Safari will not display pdf files uner Lion 10.8.2

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I just downloaded the free trial of Adobe PDF to Word converter and was not able to convert a PDF file to word. Could anyone please help? Thx

    I just downloaded the free trial of Adobe PDF to Word converter and was not able to convert a PDF file to word. Could anyone please help? Thx

    Part of the problem in helping is likely that there is no program Adobe -- that is the company name. You are in the Acrobat forum, but it sounds like you have subscribed to Export PDF or such, a different program. The subscription to Acrobat is currently $19.99 per month.

  • Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat not activated

    Adobe CS3, Acrobat Professional 8.1.0, Windows XP Pro: CS3 has been working faultlessly for several years. Suddenly, when I try to print using Adobe PDF as printer I get message "Adobe PDF creation cannot continue because Acrobat not activated". To my knowledge all of CS 3 should be activated. InDesign, Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, etc work fine. I can even open Acrobat 8 and call up documents but I cannot print to it. When I click on "Activation" in Help menu, both "Activate" and "Deactivate" are grayed out. Any suggestions?

    Perhaps you should use this tool:
    <http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html>
    The tool repairs the license but before using this tool, have you tried re-booting the system just in case this is a temporary problem?  Also, it is a good idea to create a temporary profile and try using the PDF printer to see if it is working.
    If it is working in your temporary profile, then this suggests that your preference file might need to be re-created but this is for next time after you have tried using the pdf in your test profile.

  • Can i use adobe pdf  viewer dll in educational commercial project in c

    I want to read PDF file in  my project ..for that i want PDF viewer..so m asking you ..can i use adobe PDF viewer in my project.
    Its a educational product for one of my client.
    Regards,
    Shain Singh

    You can write software which uses an installed copy of Adobe Reader and its interfaces.
    You cannot distribute the DLL by itself, or include it in your project files.
    You can apply for permission to distribute Adobe Reader as a complete installer, subject to license.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3.3 will not display documents w/ OS 10.6.4 Any Help?

    I have a new MacBook Pro w/ OS 10.6.4. & Safari 5.0.1 Right out of the box Adobe Reader would not display documents. I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3.3 & installed. When attempting to see pdf files on Safari OR pdf files on my hard drive, all I will get is a dark grey screen. Blank. No message. No errors. My older G4 iMac has no problems. Only the Mac Book Pro with latest OS. I noticed that the Adobe web site listed version 9.3.3 available for Intel Mac OS 10.6.3. I also uninstalled Adobe then tried new download/installs several times, rebooting system after each uninstall and download. Does anyone have any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?

    Carolyn: I was able, through more research in the discussion groups, to find a solution that resolved my problem! In the HD>applications folder>safari>get info I checked the "open in 32 bit mode" box. Then I went to Adobe Reader>preferences>Internet and unchecked the box "display PDF in browser using" [Adobe Reader 9.3.3]. I then closed my Safari Browser, restarted the computer and, happy days are here again! On my older G5 I only had to set the preferences on the Adobe Preferences, as Safari 5.0.1 only appears to work in 32 bit mode, as the 32 bit mode check box was not there. You may want to pass this on to other users with the same or similar problems.

  • HT5364 Safari is not displaying the web page content & Crashes on clicking Security Tab in Preferences!

    I have Mac 10.8.4 with Safari 6.0.5.
    Safari is not displaying the web content but images on the web page are being displayed.
    Although the webpage is loaded, but nothing is shown else than Images. When I hover the mouse on the blank webpage shown, the cursor changes on the links on the web page.
    I tried resetting the preferences from the menu as well as deleting the Preferences of Safari from ~/Library/Preferences/ but nothing helped.
    When I open Preferences of Safari & click on Security tab, It Crashes!!
    Thanks,

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
