Safari is closed when opening pdf. files

My IMac can’t open pdf.files when I try to open them from Safari. I have installed Adobe Reader, but I only get a black page and after 30 seconds the Internet connection is cancelled. I get the following message: “Safari was unexpected closed. The problem could be Updating Plugin-modul.”
(I can open pdf saved on my IMac.)

Hi Mikael,
It sounds like the Adobe PDF plugin is acting up.
Remove this file to allow Safari to load the PDFs natively (it doesn't need a plugin to display PDFs):
Hard drive > Library > Internet Plug-Ins > AdobePDFViewer.plugin

  • 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!

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files

    Hi,
    I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
    Setup
    Server OS:
    Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
    Other software:
    Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
    Symantec Antivirus 10.1
    Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
    The installation is clean (1 week old).
    Problem description:
    When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
    Work-arounds tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
    Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
    Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
    Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
    Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
    Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
    Turn DEP off
    Solution:
    Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
    It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
    Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
    Best regards from Denmark!

    Hi,
    I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
    The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
    This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
    However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
    Any further ideas at all?

    Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate? 

    Back up all data.
    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:
    /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, 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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    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.

    That choice is not made by Adobe, but your browser, of which you give no details. 64-bit browsers cannot open PDF files, as the Adobe Reader plugin is a 32-bit app.

  • Setting preferences when opening pdf files in Safari

    Safari opens pdf files using Preview in Safari, which is fine. However, I would like the pdf files to be auto sized to the window, and displayed with continuous mode off. These are my preferences if I use the Preview program. Instead, pdf files are always opened in continuous mode, and not autosized.
    I can't seem to find a way to change the default settings for displaying pdf files in Safari. Any help?
    iMac G4 1 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I'm tired of having to do this for every pdf file I open in Safari.
    I understand. Preview via Safari is new in OS X Tiger. Apple has a history of building improvements/new features with each rendition of OS X.
    You may want to express your concerns and needs to Apple via their feedback page before the release of Leopard this coming spring.

  • Windows projector quits fullscreen when opening pdf file

    Hi, hopefully someone on here can help with a problem I'm having.
    I'm working in CS5, using AS2 on a Mac.
    I've built a presentation that requires the need to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader... as I have been building this on a Mac I simply used the geturl code which has been working a treat... today when I tested it on a PC it opened the file in a browser window!
    I'm not really a coder and have to rely on finding bits online that I can tweak... after many hours I have fixed the pdf opening problem by using the fscommand method, but unfortunately when the pdf file is closed, my presentation (that was running fullscreen) has minimised itself to a window 100% to the original stage size!
    Is there any fix for this?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I found a very simple solution here: http://www.northcode.com/blog.php/2008/03/16/Problem-with-Fullscreen-Flash-Projectors

  • Safari for windows cannot open PDF files

    I'm posting this topic because it was archived in 2009 without a solution.
    When clicking a pdf link in Safari for windows (4.0.3) it opens a new window but does not show the pdf. The window remains blank with "canceled opening page" in the status bar.
    For me this hangup was caused by the environment variables TEMP and TMP being set to an inaccessible location.
    Basically, to open a pdf file Safari needs to safe it to a temporary location. Then Adobe reader can open it from that location. The location is set in the environment variables TEMP and TMP. For me they were set to "D:\Temp", however D was a CD drive hence the file could not be saved let alone opened.
    Solution: Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced tab>Environment Variables then check/change the user variables TEMP and TMP to something you are sure is accessible like "C:\Temp".
    If this solution works for you please write up a response. Good luck.

    There needs to be a way in Safari (or in Acrobat or Windows) to say "if you download a PDF file from Safari, launch Acrobat and open that file."
    I'm not on a Windows machine to check at the moment, but in the Mac version you can set in the Safari preferences an option to 'Open safe files after downloading'. I wouldn't be surprised if this were missing from the Windows version though due to the additional security implications this could have on Windows. There is no ability to configure different files types to be opened by specific applications from within Safari, unlike Firefox for example.
    You can however open files simply by double clicking the icon in the Downloads window that Safari pops up when a download occurs.
    ... how I tell Apple there needs to be an option to allow Safari to push streamed or downloaded file types to their correct creator application?
    On a Mac, Safari menu -> Report Bugs to Apple...
    On a Windows PC, Safari Help Menu -> Report Bugs to Apple... (I think)

  • Error when opening PDF files from SAP.

    Hi Gurus
    I have posted this question in ABAP Development section also. Please read the below text.
    We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
    This issue occurs few times a day in Windows Vista.
    This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
    Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
    SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
    Environment
    SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
    Windows Vista Enterprise
    Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
    SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
    Please suggest
    Thank you
    Pavan

    Now I got to capture the screenshot, however not able to attach/upload here but it says:
    'Reading Untagged Documents'
    lets say i tried to open 6 page document then it said:
    'This 6-page document is untagged and must be prepared for reading. While the document is being
    analyzed, your assistive technology will not be able to interact with this application. '
    then it asked for Reading options
    then a checkbox for to confirm 'Always use the settings from the Reading Preferences (Do not show this dialog again)
    then 'OK/START' and 'cancel' buttons
    It seems, this is the problem with Adobe w.r.t Vista.
    thanks

  • Acrobat 7 shuts down imidiately when opening PDF-files on webpages

    The company in which I am employed used Acrobat 7. A while ago 1 or 2 employees started having problems opening PDF-files from web sites. PDF-files on our server and local hard drive would open with no problem. Since then the problem has spreaded to almost all the employees.
    When we click on a link which links to a PDF-file, Acrobat loads the file normally and then shuts down imidiately.
    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat. I have tried to upgrade to the newest sub-version of the Acrobat 7. I have tried to right-click, open in new window. Nothing helps.
    Has anyone experienced this and solved it?
    Your help is greatly appreciated!

    Update: In my company we have decided that we do not want PDF-files to open in Internet Explorer (because of reason related to out intranet) when clicking on a link to a PDF-file on the internet, so we have unchecked the setting "Show PDF in browser".
    When I re-check the setting "Show PDF in browser" the above mentioned problem disappears. Why oh why?

  • Why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files

    why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files

    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.
