I cannot open any pdf files in Safari on my Mac Book

I cannot open any pdf-files using Safari anymore. Does anybody know what is going on?
Thank´s a lot!

Found the solution online!
An easy way to locate a file is to open the Finder. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this in exactly as you see it here >     /Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you see the PDF Browser plugin, move it to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

    download adobe acrobat reader for free,  saves all PDF files and ideally open under Acrobat
    there are much more options for using and viewing the options native in Acrobat than in Safari, obviously.

  • Cannot open any pdf files since downloading reader to mac

    I have now downloaded reader 9.1 four times to my mac (0S 10.14.1) I have attempted to open credit card statements and i get the black screen with the loading circle in the middle but no statement appears. I've waited a reasonable amount of time so but still no statement. When I downloaded reader I am not getting the user agreement. Any help is most appreciated. I hate change!

    Have you copied the files you want to open to your hard disk? Have you tried opening any of those files from within Reader, and not by double clicking on their icons?

  • I downloaded Redear to see if it could open an old .pdf file.  Now I cannot open any .pdf files.

    What is wrong with Reader?  Having loaded it I now cannot open any .pdf file in my computer or on email.

    Cannot get over the impression that the fault is deliberate.  Building in the requirement for all users then loading a weak link, that drives you to purchase.
    Shockwave is FREE... Flash Player is FREE.... Adobe Reader is FREE... Adobe AIR is FREE... Those four products are, and always have been, FREE... Flash Professional, which is for creating and editing Flash animation and video files, is a paid licensed product. Acrobat Professional, which is for creating and editing PDFs, is a paid licensed product. Neither Flash Player nor Adobe Reader have any links to prompt an upgrade to the professional version of software for the file format. Never have. Viewing Flash content and PDFs needs to be universally available to the public who receive such content over the Internet. Creating and editing Flash files and PDFs is not something that everyone needs, so it's only available at a cost for those who need it and choose to use Flash Pro or Acrobat.
    There are Creative suites with several Adobe applications for everything from photo and graphic editing, to video editing, to making e-readers, to web design, but those are for developers of the individual media.

  • HT1338 I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air.  I used to be able to.  I downloaded osx mountain lion and it still doesn't work.  any suggestions?

    I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air.  I used to be able to open them.  It was suggested that I get OS Mountain Lion and I did.  still can't.  Any ideas? 

    You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com.  The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader.  If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files.  Hope this helps.

  • I cannot open any pdf files! I used to be able to. Have a mac.

    I cannot open any pdf files. I used to be able to. If I open them I get a blank screen. Have a mac. Help!!!!!

    Hi Charlie,
    First, thanks for responding. These are mostly emails with attachments or documents that I have. I download them and once I open them the page is blank. I also cannot look at them in Preview. The same problem. I called Apple and they said they assume I have an older software version. They are going to send new software. I am not really sure this will solve my problem. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!

    What is your operating system?  What is your browser?  What is your Reader version?  What exactly means "cannot"?

  • Cannot open any pdf file with Adobe Acrobat X Pro

    Unable to open any pdf files out of sudden.
    Fatal Error - Acrobat failed to send a DDE command.

    Hey 12a758y,
    You might need to choose 'Check for Updates' options in the Help menu.
    If the issue still persists, then go to 'Help > Repair Acrobat Installation' option

  • I DL ver 9,10,11 of Free Adobe Reader - cannot open any PDF file.

    I get an error message "The instructions at xxxx referenced memory at xxxx. The memory could not be written." What is wrong?

    tI did as you instructed and got no good results. I even restored my Adobe files from several weeks ago from Carbonite and could not load Adobe REader nor open any PDF file that I was previously able to open.
    When I try to open a PDF file, I get a web page that has two panes. One pane on the left has a red box area with some options. The pane on the right is grey and has some options. The web page disappears after about 5 seconds so I can't read it all.
    I tried opening three files after reinstalling Adobe Reader and after restoring my Adobe files. One folder that I restored as "Cache" and had a file inside called "AcrobatFnt11 then another file called AdobeCMapFnt11 and the other file called AdobeSysFnt11.
    I'm extremely anxious to be able to open and load all my PDF files like I was able to for years before.
    Thank you.

  • I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus.  Now I cannot open any .pdf files from the internet.

    I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus and now I cannot open any Adobe .pdf files from the internet.  Fix?

    Go to F_Secure's Flashback Removal Tool web page, download their Flashback trojan detection/removal tool, and follow the instructions you find there.
    Also install the latest java update which also tries to remove these trojans.
    Java for OS X Lion 2012-003
    And only download the adobe flash plugin from the adobe site.
    Update:
    Just because you cannot download pdf may not be an indication of the trojan.  There's been a number of reports about problems like that with pdf's.  Look at the More Like This section on the right side of this page.

  • I cannot open any pdf files that are saved to my computer. Keep getting error 507:507

    Every time I try to open a pdf file from a website or through an email it will not let me opne the file. I can open files that are saved to my computer but that doesn't do me much good in some scenarios. I run IE 10 on Windows 7 Home with Adobe Reader XI 11.0.04. I have tried unsinstalling and reinstalling. It works fine for a few days then the errors start again. HELP!

    Thank you Pat!!!

  • Is there any other solution for Adobe Flash plugin crashing than the posted one about updating Flash and Mozilla? I cannot open any PDF files online and updated both Mozilla and Flash player to most recent with no change in the crashing.

    I was able to open PDFs online until version 8. Since upgrading to version 9 and now 10, I have crashes every time I try to open a PDF online and can see the form briefly for about two seconds before the plugin crashes. I followed instructions on the solution to update Adobe Flash and Mozilla, and they are both to the most recent version and it still crashes every time, no dent in the symptoms with the upgrades. I tried also downgrading to version 3, and it sill crashes. Although in some cases I can get around by saving the PDFs for reading them through Acrobat on my PC, it is a hassle as I do not want to save everything to my drive just to see what it is, plus sometimes forms are generated on a click and I cannot see these forms at all.
    I had to migrate to Chrome as I needed the PDFs and could not wait any longer - any suggestions to make Mozilla work again would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] after enabling only the PDF plugin in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''. You can also '''Disable''' the PDF plugin and try an alternative, for eg. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/?src=cb-dl-created pdf.js]. Please also go through the add-on reviews, ratings, help and FAQ.

  • Cannot open any pdf files.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled, tried the accept license with the eula.exe and still no luck. I have windows 7 home premium and the problem is with adobe reader 11.

    Other things to try...
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
