I can`t open PDF in Safari

I can't open PDF's in a browser window. It's like the plug-in is not there. I have Acrobat 9 pro. I've been using Safari. Help me.

Hi,
I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder and delete Adobe Reader Plug In (Finder-Home-Library-Internet Plug Ins---Adobe Reader plug In)
and restart your safari.

  • Downloaded Adobe Reader, now can't open PDFs in Safari

    I was forced to download Adobe Reader to view and print something and then promptly deleted it. The app, the dmg, and the AdobePDFViewer.plugin from my library are now all gone. Nothing remains of them on my computer. Now, ever since that download, I get the screen below when I try to view a pdf in Safari.
    I have searched all over the net, like I always do before bugging all of you, but still can't fix it.
    1- I can't read it
    2-What do I have to do to get pdfs to open in Safari like they did before I installed Reader?
    Spec (Exact same as before Reader download):
    Safari 6.1.1
    OSX 10.8.5
    Thank you!

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 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.

  • Can't open PDFs in Safari

    When I try to open a PDF in Safari, my computer can't find the application. I used to be able to do it automatically. I even reinstalled Adobe PDF app.. What should I do?
    Allan
    PS I know Safari isn't popular anymore, but I still really like to use it.

    You may have to select the item type you want to be able to open
    with Adobe Reader (acrobat reader) and choose Get Info from Finder,
    then use the selection option there, to have Adobe open all like it.
    There should be a way to have Safari open any PDF and it would
    choose between the System's Preview - or - Adobe Reader, if you
    set it to do so. I don't have any browser set to open any files.
    They are set to download to the desktop and I run them offline.
    (But, a few web pages are live pdf items and the browser will
    run them inside a browser window, on occasion. These don't
    like to download when they are uploaded, without extra trouble.)
    You should be able to tell Safari in its preferences, what to do
    with a file type; whether to open it or save it to desktop. And
    since I don't use Safari (but have it upgraded, anyway) I don't
    recall the steps and places to look to change those preferences.
    My computers have four browsers each; and they are updated.
    If the version of a browser is old and a security risk, you may
    wish to see if there is a newer version or newer browser instead.
    If you have general system issues, you may wish to see about
    the basics, if they have not been done recently; I'd try to see if
    starting up in SafeBoot, running Disk Utility's 'repair disk permis-
    sions' then quit that utility, & restart normally. This may help.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can i open pdf on safari with reader 11,0,07

    i've got Imac with OSX 10,9,4 and adobe reader 11,0,07.
    i can't read pdf on website.
    i've got this error message :
    Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement.
    but i don't know where i can accept the licene and there is no support for reader 11.
    if you have got a solution...

    Did you open Adobe Reader on it's own (not through the browser)? If not, you can find it in your applications folder where all your other programs live. Launch it and accept the EULA.

  • I can't open pdf from safari. I get a blank black page

    On a Mac, I can right click if the option is available and download to downloads and open that way but I can't click on a link that is a pdf and it open. It loads a blank black page. Am I missing a plug in? What? IT is driving me crazy.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. <br>

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem <br>

  • Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

    Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

  • Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

    Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?

    This resolved my problem
    I checked and my Firefox is doing (or not doing in this case)  the same thing.  There seems to be a problem with the Snow Leopard and the Adobe browser plugin.  I was able to get Firefox working again by going to Firefox > Preferences > Applications and switching all to Adobe settings to "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the plugin.  Then I went to Tools > Add-ons... > Plugins and disabled the Acrobat plugin.  Restarted Firefox and now pdf worked.

  • Can't zoom PDFs in Safari nor open in preview

    The Toolbar referenced by Apple help below no longer appears after the last update to Safari:
    View PDF files
    When you click a link on a webpage for a PDF file, Safari displays the PDF in your browser window and provides a toolbar to help you view the file.
    Open Safari if it is not already open, and go to the PDF page you want to view.Open Safari
    To see a toolbar, move the pointer to the bottom-center of the page. If you move the pointer away from the toolbar, it disappears after a moment.The toolbar has four buttons. Point to each button to see what it does.
    To change the font size, click the “Zoom in” and “Zoom out” buttons.
    To view the PDF file in Preview, click the “Open PDF in Preview” button. After Preview opens, choose Help > Preview Help for more information about viewing PDF files.
    To save the PDF file on your hard disk, click the “Save PDF to download folder” button.

    I just updated my grandfather's computer (probably 10.6... I forget), and now he's experiencing the same thing.  Interestingly, if I go to a test PDF found randomly on the web, it opens and shows the 4-button toolbar.  But when we open one of the PDFs from his TD Ameritrade account, they open with no toolbar (and none to be awakened by moving the mouse down bottom center).
    I question the value of opening PDFs in Safari at all when there's a great Preview readily available, but I put that on a different post.

  • Suddenly Can't Open PDFs. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab.

    Suddenly Can't Open PDFs in Firefox. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab. Nice timing, with finals and everything where I need to view PDFs of practice tests.

    Mozilla Firefox did not do their job, here. I am an editor and am constantly online. Now, I have to go to Safari to download PDFs. I reinstalled an earlier version of Firefox to get rid of the problem, but somehow Firefox has deactivated my PDF download feature. This is a total wreck and I am so angry I could spit. Stop launching new products until you have fully tested them. Customers are not your guinea pigs. Please fix this now- and fire a few idiots on the way- the ones who let this happen.
