IPAD2 I can not open PDF documents in Safari.

Can any one help? The link to the document is through Salesforce.

Adobe Reader on iOS works differently than on the PC.  On the PC, it installs a browser plug-in that is used to render the PDF document in the web page (or open the PDF document in the Adobe Reader application).  On iOS, it simply installs the Adobe Reader app, but no browser plug-in.
Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like the Salesforce web site is trying to detect whether the browser plug-in is installed on iOS (which it never will be), and then prompting you to install Adobe Reader.  Instead, the web site should realize that you're browsing on an iPad using Safari, and just display the PDF in a new tab, or in the current tab.
Is there an alternate link on the Salesforce web page to download the PDF file instead of display it?  (The link may be much smaller, or offscreen requiring you to scroll right or left.)  A download link should actually do the correct thing and display the PDF in Safari once the file is downloaded.
Once you're viewing the PDF in Safari, a black translucent bar appears for about 3 seconds at the top of the tab that will have an "Open in <AppName>" button, or that button plus an "Open..." button (if you have multiple apps that can view PDF documents).  Tap one of those buttons to open the PDF document in another app.
If the black translucent bar disappears, just tap anywhere on the PDF document (other than a link) to bring it back.

  • I can not open pdf documents

    If I want to open a pdf document I get the following error-message:
    "Error during page elaboration. A problem occurred during reading this document (109)"
    I have Adobe Reader V8. I removed the version 8 and installed version 7, but I still can not open the document.

    I can not open .pdf documents unless I save them first.  But sometimes I can't download the file first - I get an error message that says that my version of Adobe can't open a .pdf in a web browser...

  • Solution manager can not open pdf documents

    What is the reason Solution manager (we have still 3.2) can not open pdf documents (under project documentation).
    Thank you in advance

    Solution Manager is the SERVER, it can't open PDF documents; most likely your PC can't open them.

  • I can not open PDF files in safari

    I can not open PDF files in safari. How can I fix this problem?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    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 launch Safari and test.
    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.

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

    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 not open PDF's in Safari

    Hi All:
    I know this has been asked and answered so many time that I am sorry to post again. However, I have read many of the prior posts, tired the fixes, and still the problem persists. All of a sudden, without any erxplanation I know of, PDF links do not open within Safari, as in the past, but instead revert to the Downloads and open in Preview.
    MacBook Pro OS: 10.6.8
    Safari: 5.1.7
    I have two other accounts set up and they both open PDF links within Safari.
    I have downloaded Adobe Reader again, checked my plugins. I can’t locate any Adobe plugins on either my home account or hard drive, restarted, etc.
    If possible, can someone try and offer assistance. It's one of those things which is bugging me and have been struggling with for the past three hours.
    thank you.

    Hi Linc:
    You and Carolyn seem to tbe the go to  people for this issue.
    When I pull up the plug0ins from the Help Menu, I get an entire page. I've tried copying it below.
    What really confuses me is that it works fine in my other accounts and I can't determine what is different in this account.
    thanks,
    val

  • I can not open PDF's from Safari.

    I have already uninstalled Adobe Reader and made Preview my default reader again. When i open a PDF, i get back a black screen. Previously, i would get a black screen with message saying i needed to accept the License and Agreements of Adobe Reader. Then i decided to throw out in the trash the Adobe Reader plug ins and that message does not show any more when i attempt to open the PDF but the black screen is still there.
    Any help?

    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 PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer 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 (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.

  • I can not open PDF document stored in Google drive

    I have down loaded Adobe PDF reader APP (Touch Type) but it is not opening my PDF documents stored in my google drive. It tells me error 403 (forbidden). Could some one explain how I can solve this problem.
    Thanks.
    Rajinder Kanda

    It depends on how you open the PDF documents that are stored in Google Drive.
    Do you access Google Drive via the web browser?  Or do you have a sync client app installed on your device?  Adobe Reader Touch itself does not display the error 403 (forbidden).
    Could you describe the steps that you used to open one of the PDF documents from Google Drive?  How did you choose Adobe Reader Touch to open it?

  • [SOLVED] Okular Can not open pdf Document

    Whenever I try to open a pdf document by Okular it says "Could not open /directory/filename.pdf". Terminal shows following error:
    okular(25136)/okular (app) Okular::DocumentPrivate::loadGeneratorLibrary: Invalid plugin factory for "okularGenerator_poppler"!
    I tried to update poppler using "sudo pacman -S poppler" and it re-installation completed successfully. But it didn't help at all.
    Last edited by abhisek (2013-09-08 04:27:00)

    Actually pacman -S <package> is safe (although pacman may fail to find the package). It is passing the -y flag without the -u flag which causes the trouble.
    In any case, you definitely did pacman -Syu?
    Does this problem occur for all pdfs or only a certain one or certain ones?
    Does
    pacman -Qk kdegraphics-okular
    show any problems?
    EDIT: Also, what does
    locate okularGenerator_poppler.so
    give?

  • Can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet?

    I can not open pdfs w/adobe reader for android on archos 10i tablet? How to fix it?

    Hi Dennis, thank you for the reply. I have Adobe Reader installed and open. When I click on the pdf documents an error message box opens and says "Error. The document cannot be opened beacause it is not a valid pdf document". Perhaps the pdf's on the USB memory stick are corrupted. I can't open them on the laptop either. I'll reload them and try again.

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • Can Not Open PDF Attachments

    I can not open PDF attachments from outlook 2010. I am running windows 8  and using Adobe version 11.0.2  If I save the file to desktop, then it will allow me to open it and print it.
    Thanks in advance for yor help.
    the error says it can not open the file because it is unsupported or corrupt.

    If you can't open the attachment, have your client/ customer or whatever fix their defective copy of Outlook and send real mail attachments not TNEF encoded rubbish. They are spewing defective email every time they click send on a mail with an attachment.
