Safari 3.0.3 crashing .pdf files sites

I can't seem to read the sites with .pdf files. Safari crashes. I can see the file for about a minute then it crashes every time. Does anyone have any solution to this?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Are you using Adobe Reader for PDFs? If so, you need to use version 8.1 for Safari 3, otherwise it will crash.
If this is not the case, next time Safari crashes, select "report", then copy/paste the entire crash report to your reply here.

Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

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.

Safari 5.1.2 and .pdf files.

Safari 5.1.2 opens .pdf files in Quicktime, not Preview. Why?
How can I change it to default to Preview?

First, there is no such file as "WebKit built-in PDF," so you can't move it to the Trash.
Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder by selecting Go > Library from the Finder menu bar (Lion), or by looking in the folder with the house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window (pre-Lion.)
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.

If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
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:

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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.

Safari does not automatically open pdf files.

After updating Acrobat to 7.0.5, Safar no longer auromattically opens pdf files, when I click to open a pdf on the web. Every time it asks me which application do I want to use. When I select 7.0.5 it works fine. When I open a pdf from a the finder it opens the proper version and Get Info shows the proper association.
I cannot find how to fix the association in Safari.
Thanks for you suggestions.

Hi, Jim. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. Quit Safari if it is open.
2. In Acrobat, select Help > Detect and Repair.
3. Select or deselect the options in the resulting window, as desired, assuring that<pre>__ Adobe PDF Viewer
View and edit Adobe PDF within Safari</pre>is selected.
4. Click Continue.
5. Type your Admin Password when prompted, click OK.
6. You should get a message indicating that "missing components were repaired."
7. Launch Safari and open a PDF on the Web to see if it's fixed.
FYI: Questions regarding Safari should be posted to the Safari Discussion.
Good luck!

How can I enable Safari's ability to display pdf files?

Hi there,
In Safari 4.0.3 (MacBook Pro) pdf links open as a dark grey block. That is, instead of the intended text, I see just dark gray.
Control-click allows me to save the file to the desktop in which case Preview can open them with no problem.

HI,
If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, launch Adobe Reader. From the Menu Bar, click Adobe Reader/Preferences. Select the Internet category...the top option is the one you want. Uncheck the box to make sure Adobe doesn't keep making itself the default reader.
You might also need to open /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and delete Adobe's PDF viewer plug-in.

Grey screen on safari when trying to open pdf files

Yesterday I was reading a pdf file in my safari 3.0.4 web browser when safari froze unexpectedly and crashed. When I re-opened safari, I am now no longer able to view pdf files in the browser or at all. It opens up, starts loading and stays at a grey screen. I'm using adobe reader 7.0 and I've never had problems before but this is really frustrating to not be able to open up pdfs anymore!
Also, I downloaded firefox to see if it would work on there and it works to download and view pdfs but I can't seem to view pdf files directly in the firefox browser without downloading them to the desktop. What should I do?

You're welcome Joanne. Glad to hear all is functioning in the PDF realm.
When you get a chance, click on "My Settings" on the right side of the screen. There, you can change your tag to reflect the latest version of your OS. As you are using Safari 3.0.4, it would be either Tiger's 10.4.11 or Leopard's 10.5.1.

Safari 4 for Windows & Adobe PDF files?

Hi all,
Running Safari 4, and love the browser with the exception that any time it tries to open a PDF file within the browser it crashes. Has been this way with acrobat 9.0 and also 9.1 Any suggestions/fixes, or at least workarounds to that it will launch the file in the application instead of crashing the browser?
Thanks,
Matt

My wife is running Safari 4.0.3 on Windows XP. I have installed Adobe Acrobat Professional and all of its Adobe updates. Adobe preferences are set to open PDFs in the browser, and connection is set to LAN. Safari is set as the default browser. When I try to open a link to a pdf document, Safari crashes with the following error:
Acrobat Plug-In
The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your web browser & try again.
Windows throws up a dialog saying that it had to close Safari, through its Data Execution Protection service. So, I went to the DEP settings, and told it not to protect memory in Safari. Didn't help.
This did not happen with Acrobat Reader 8.x. Problem started with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.x. Suggestions?

Safari 6 does not display pdf files!

No matter what website I go to if I need to display a pdf file especially on government sites which I deal with a lot being a paralized vet. I have to tell you I am disappointed with the last couple vers. of Safari. Half the time auto fill doesn't work. Many times i'll just type the name of the address and in past versions of Safari it would fill in the other stuff, www., .com, etc. Well not any more. I've switched to making Google Chrome since it displays pdf's. Apple, you cn do better than this!!! O, by the way I've been using Apple products since the iic, and I've been using the internet from it's beginnings.This is the first time I"ve had any complaint about Safari up until now it's been my browser of choice.

David...
All browsers require some maintenance at one time or another, or troubleshooting whether it's Safari, or Chrome, Firefox.. etc. I've yet to have any issues with Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.
For the PDF issue...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the AdobePDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
For autofill. Try troubleshtooting the Safari.plist (preferences)
Back to the Finder. Go > Go to Folder.
Type this: ~/LIbrary/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go the move the Safari .plist file to the Desktop. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that that helped the autofill issue, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't work, Go > Go to Folder.
Type this: ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go the move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try autofill.

Safari stucks when opening a pdf file, dowloading a compressed "rar" file

Salam everybody,
well here's the mess,
I got a lot of troubles when browsing internet using Safari. Honestly, it's a very good and quick browser, but it's stacks and close when trying to open a pdf file in w web page.
Other thing, when downloading from MegaShare, it stacks also when dealing with RAR files.
is there any plugins that I should add to fix this
Thank you.
salam

HI,
There are no Mac viruses in the wild.
I think the problem here is that you are running 10.3 (Panther). That limits you to how far you can go as far as Safari versions.
Unfortunately, an iMac G3 can't support the latest versions of web browser content including Flash.
Safari 4 requires:
▪ Any Mac running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 or Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 and Security Update 2009-002
▪ Mac with an Intel processor or a Power PC G5, G4, or G3 processor and built-in FireWire®
▪ 256MB of RAM
▪ Top Sites and Cover Flow on Mac OS X Tiger require a Quartz-Extreme compatible video card. More details

Why can't Safari 5.1 (lion) open pdf files

Ever since the lion & safari updates I can't click on a pdf file on a safari page and get it to open. Any suggestions?

If you are using Adobe Acrobat read here > Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
You can use Preview to view PDF files if you want by right or control clicking a PDF file you have on the hard drive then click Get Info.
Click the pop up menu next to: Open with
Select Preview. Then click: Change All...

How do i Restore Preview as my default viewer when using Safari,seems adobe has hi jacked Safari,if i uninstall adobe safari will not open any pdf files.

How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.
Have uninstalled adobe but safari then will not display any pdf files.
Preview still works fine to view existing downloaded files.

Niac --
What kind of files? PDFs? or Others as well?
If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.
