I can't view pdf files on line

I can't seem to view pdf files even though I have Adobe installed?

Some PDFs will automatically download when you click on them. Try checking your downloads folder.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

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 view pdf files in gmail (OS 5.01)

Since I have installed OS 5.1 I can't view pdf files in my gmail account. I can view them on yahoo (same email) or with the previous OS. I just download 5.01 a week ago so I am not sure if I missed something for settings or if I need to change something because my search has not discovered anyone else having an issue.
Thanks!

Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view. In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download. This is for all PDF files in gmail.

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files and videos since Apple and Adobe don't play together? Also, what operating system does the iPhone use? I'm a Windows person.

You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.

I was able to open existing pdf files located on my desktop.
I then downloaded and reinstalled both Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3 .

Can't view PDF files in Wb Browser

Hello from a relative newbie to Adobe.
Recently I began getting the message " Adobe Acrobat Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again " when viewing web sites.
I have Adobe Acrobat 4 ( and always have, I think ) so I successfully downloaded Version 9.1 but still keep getting the same message.
Could I get some help please ?
Cheers,

As long as I can view the current bank files (not downloads), the actual statements are not vital. I can print those pages, but it's just very difficult and time consuming to go through all of that when a statement is what I need. I can always go back to paper statements in the mail, but those would just be current.
Anyway, it happened just as you said...out of the blue. You probably know more than I do about computer issues...you might check out your firewall and security settings. I get lost when I start checking things out, so I'll try to keep track and let you know if I find a solution.
Thanks, George...maybe Adobe will respond???
Take care.....

Can't view pdf files

I can no longer view pdf files in Safari (I can open downloaded files, however). This has been happening for a few weeks now. Does anyone know why this would happen? and how to fix the problem?
(I have recently loaded VMware Fusion -- could this cause the problem?; or is that just an unrelated coincidence?)

Mamabear, I have the same issue with Safari (2.0.4). While I can get a saved .pdf file to my desktop by using "control-click"... the same file no longer opens in Safari after I open it within a Safari window as it once did. The only thing I think may have affected this ability is that I once downloaded Adobe Reader (and have since removed it) to open particular Adobe Reader files and wonder if that may have affected Safari's ability to open .pdf files in a window. Hopefully someone in on these boards can give us both some insight/fixes.

Can't view pdf files using safari after upgrading 10.5.8 to 10.6.5

I noticed that right after I upgraded from Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.5, I no longer could view any pdf's I would click on unless I used "control click" option to download the file/pdf. Before upgrading all I had to do was click on a pdf link and it opened up automatically in a new window. Now all I get a black screen unless I "control click"
I am thankful that I saw in the discussion area that I at least have a way to view it but do not understand why upgrading to 10.6.5 changed the way I use to be able to open/view pdf files.
Thanks

Hi keyag
I suspect you've an adobe pdf viewer plugin that requires safari to run in 32 bit mode. Either remove it from HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & restart Safari; or select Safari in Applications, do a File-Get Info - and check the 32 bit box, again restarting Safari.
... do not understand why upgrading to 10.6.5 changed ...
probably because 10.6.x runs Safari as a 64 bit process by default, and the plugin won't work that way. Maybe there's an update for it (assuming the plugin guess is correct )

Can't view PDF files in Mail

After the 10.5 upgrade I can no longer view PDFs in Mail. Not sure if this is also due to the install of Adobe CS3, however now PDFs just show as a "mime-attachment" which do not display in any other app. Other 10.5.1 users can view these email attachments just fine.
Is there a way to re-enable PDF files in Mail.app, so that mails with PDF files are displaying within mail.app correctly?

Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view. In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download. This is for all PDF files in gmail.

How can I view PDF files on Safari

My MacBook Pro will not open PDF files on Safari. I have Adobe Acrobat but the program is asking me for a 24 digit serial number when I only have 20. I tried looking under Preferences and About Safari but I just can't figure it out. Is there any other way to view the PDF files on Safari?

Download and install the freeware Adobe Reader application. It includes a web browser plugin that works in Safari.
Consult Adobe about the serial number problem with Acrobat.
