Can't open pdf items in safari, and can't get adobe reader installed/working
can't open pdf documents/can't download and open adobe reader on imac
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
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 4
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 5
Do as in Step 3 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't open pdf's from web sites since I upgraded adobe reader
Since I upgraded adobe, I haven't been able to open pdf's directly from websites--I just get a black screen (in Safari, or a white screen in Firefox). I can sometimes right click on the link and either download the pdf or save it as a document as a work-around to enable me to open it.
I have the same problem. Or similar. A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work). Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use. I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files. Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway, as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can.
Any other suggestions? i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
Thanks -
Message there is a problem with Adobe Reader/Acrobat. If it is running please exit and try again. 0.104
It is usually quicker to get a reply if you provide all relevant information, e.g. your operating system / your Reader XI version.

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 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

Can't open pdf files in Safari for Windows
Hi, I haven't been able to open pdf files in Safari - each time I click on a pdf link, a new tab opend and then a pop-up window says "can't open Adobe" (or something like that), and then Safari crashes. I've read that the solution is to install Adobe Reader 8, but I can't because I already have Adobe Acrobat which doesn't seem to work with safari. Does anyone know a way to view pdf files in Safari for windows?
Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

Can't open PDF files in safari
I have a problem opening PDF files in safari
50% of the time I get a error message:
"could not launch acrobat." then safari quits,
and the other 50% of the time:
it safari does noting for about half a minute and then quits,
it's not a problem with acrobat, because it does work in Fx and Chrome
anyone knows what's wrong and, especially, how to solve it?There's a couple things you can try to view pdf files in Safari.
Install Acrobat Reader 9 and it will ask if you Acrobat Reader to view pdf's. Close Safari, check yes and re-open. If AR9 is already installed, go to prefs/internet and and check yes in the box for 'display pdf in browser using......'.
Alternatively, if Acrobat is opening the pdf file in Safari, and you don't like it (which I didn't), go HD/library/internet plugins and throw away the 'AdobePDFviewer' plugin, and restart Safari. I believe the Quicktime plugin then handles the pdf.
You may also need to check the mime types in Quicktime. Open System Preferences/Quicktime/Advanced and open the Mime Settings button. Scroll to 'images' and check the box for pdf's.
Hope this helps.

Lost ability to open pdf files in Safari and Flash Player upgrade is not recognized.
Since two days ago, when I responded to a Zynga game instruction on Face Book to upgrade to the newest version of Flash Player, I lost the ability to open the game but more importantly I can't open pdf files any more either. All pdf files in Safari open as jibberish BUT they still work correctly in Firefox and Preview. Please help.
Are plug-ins enabled?
Safari > Preferences > Security
Web content:
Put a check mark in the box next to "Enable plug-ins"

HT5313 I cannot download & open pdf files on Safari but can do so on Google Chrome browser?
After upgrading to Lion 10.7.4 , I cannot open pdf files on Safari 5.1.7 but can do so on Google chrome browser? I get a message that the file cannot be exported?
look in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and remove any with 'pdf' in the name, then restart safari.
failing that - check in the same folder within your user 'home' Library

I previously had Adobe Reader 9, which worked perfectly.
Here's EXACTLY what happens: I am in a Safari browser website and try to open a pdf file (my bank statement). When I click on the link I get this message in a black window: "Adobe Reader. Before viewing a PDF file in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser." So I launch Adobe Reader but there is no End User License Agreement to accept. I have done this several times with no result. I am using a MacBook Air with OS 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.5.

Can't open PDF links in Safari
Hi, only since a couple of days ago, I couldn't open PDF links in Safari. The page loads but nothing appears in the new window or tab.
Thanks,
AaronWelcome to Apple Discussions
Did you recently install Adobe Reader or is it installed in your system? If not, Safari's preference folder may be corrupt. To create a new preference file go to the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist folder found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
Restart Safari and try a PDF. It ought to open within the browser. Also, you'll need to reset your custom preferences, plus any custom settings in the Edit (spelling) or View (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons etc.) menus.
If Adobe Reader is installed, and you want the PDF to open in the Safari Browser, go to your Internet Plug-ins Folder (Main or User Library in your Finder) and remove the Adobe plug-in.
