Can't read pdf links on websites

Hello, can anyone tell me what is the problem?
After downloading the latest OS version (OS X 10.7.4), immediately after, I was not able to read pdf links from company websites.
Does anyone know what happened and how to fix this?

Hmmm... Safari should be OK with PDF unless you've maybe installed the Adobe plug-in separately.
Go to Help > Installed Plug-Ins to see what's there.
The link below details the problem that Firefox has with this plug-in. Safari uses the same one so it may cause the same issue.

Sorry I can't be more help just now. I really need to check this out when I get home on my own Mac. I use Firefox mainly so i'm unsure how to fix the issue in Safari. I'll check in later today if I find anything.

Can't read pdf files from websites

I have tried to read pdf files on two different websites this morning and neither of them will display. I just get a black screen. I have updated to the latest version and have set Adobe Reader as my default reader. I have a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.7.5.
Please help. Very frustrated.

Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
Empty the trash.
Relaunch Safari.
PDFs will now open in the browser.

HT1338 I can't read PDF files online. I have tried to find a fix, or plug in or patch but nothing works. HELP

Hi All, A friend sent me a link to a fix for reading PDF doc's online when I first got my Lion Mac Mini, but I since updated my Firefox browser now I can't read PDF's online in either Firefox or Safari. Can anyone help me please?

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.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

Adobe 8.1.2 crashes PDF; Can't read PDF anymore Mac OS 10.4.11 PPC

Ever since Adobe 7 and Mac OS 10.4.9 I've been updating/installing and still crashes on PDF reads from within Browsers or Adobe itself.
I have an iMac 800 17" (Mac OS 10.4.11 with OS 9.2 PPC) recently maxed RAM 1Gb has backup eDrive by TechTool Pro.
-still...
Adobe 8.1.2 crashes PDF; Can't read PDF anymore, I usually Google and just "read in HTML" but then can't see pictures.
I've tried removing Adobe 7 preferences from all drives. (move to trash->delete) Acrobat 5 is on the OS 9.2 partition.
I'm not big with the Unix shell commands on Mac OS X, so don't know specific typey things ;-)
Any ideas???

>All that is is a reader. Not a replacement for Acrobat.
And it doesn't even work well with forms. Only allows the first page of a form to be filled out.
I reported the problem as a bug, and the designer say its an apple problem. Its not. where area set up to be filled out on pages other than first page, there is an indication it is a fill-out area (Grayed out when clicked on) it does not allow for forms to be filled out. So its not worth the effort to even test.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
Thank you.

E61 using Blackberry connect can't read PDF email ...

Hi, I've a E61 that has Adobe 1.5 installed. I can easily read complex PDF files yet I can't read PDF email attachments that have been sent through Blackberry connect push email service. I need to get wireless faxes and have tried both efax and Myfax and can't read either. I get a blank page with ...page break... in the centre top. Strange thing is I can partially view the pdf document using the print preview and the zoom key. Any ideas?

I have nothing to base the following on except experience...
The application on the BlackBerry that handles attachments is the BlackBerry Attachment Service. This service communicates through your email's data connection, and doesn't necessarily display the actual contents of the attachment. In the case of a PDF file, the file is actually converted into a graphic and then sent to your device more like a JPEG rather than the actual document. You can view it, but it's an interpruted view, not the actual document.
You can save the actual PDF attachment in its original format, but then you need a third party PDF viewer to view it as there is no actual PDF viewer available on the device itself.
You can, of course, still attach it to another email.

Can't read pdf on nexus 10

I have adobe reader installed and can't read PDF files on web?

Hi Danny,
You will have to download the PDF files and then, open them through the Adobe Reader application. Are you doing that ?

Can Yosemite read pdf files made in Snow Leopard?

can Yosemite read pdf files made in Snow Leopard?

Yup, restarted my system. First thing I did was open Firefox and try to open a .pdf.
There isn't an Acrobat icon in my system tray, and it's not showing up in my task manager, so is there another way of seeing if it's open?

I can't download PDF's from website that uses Adobe Reader on my Windows 8 phone?

For work I need to be able to download PDF's from a particular website. It utilizes the Adobe Reader but when I try to download a PDF, it doesn't do anything. I tried to download the "Adobe Reader" from the website but it says that I do not hav the system requirements to do so. This problem started after they did the Adobe update. I haven't been able to download these PDS's since then. I need to be able to do this for work.... Any suggestions? or when will this issue be fixed? Thank you!!!

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

I can't open PDF's from websites!!!!

Please, I need help! So, I went to attesting.com and was having issues purchasing something from them, so I went to there technical requirements and uploaded their link for Adobe Acrobat Read X. I have a MAC version 10.9.4. It seemed everything was ok. Then I went to my school's website to print a form which is in PDF form and I get this ADOBE LOCKED THIS PDF. or something like that. It doesn't say it now. Now, when I try to open a PDF from a website it says BEFORE VIEWING PDF DOCUMENTS IN THIS BROWSER YOU MUST LAUNCHADOBE READER AND ACCEPT THE END USER AGREEMENT, THEN QUIT, AND RELAUNCH THE BROWSER. So, I've un-installed Adobe and reinstalled Adobe numerous times and I STILL CANNOT GET MY PDF's. I've NEVER had any issue before. Can anyone please help!?!?! I tried contacting Adobe and chatted with someone online and he said that he doesn't help support this issue since it's not something I've paid for. I'm so frustrated and mad! ugh! Any suggestions is much appreciated!

And I've also just realized I can't open PDF's at all. Tried exporting on of the PDF forms from my school website to my desktop and it won't open from my desktop either. It's saying it's empty.

Some web visitors can't read .pdfs, but I can

I'm having an issue where some visitors to a website I run can't view .pdf files. I can view them and everyone I have asked in our company can view them, but I get enough comments from users that I am concerned. I recommended one person download the latest version of Adobe read and that fixed the problem. Another user was on a iPad that had the latest version of Adobe Reader already and still could not view the files. The files load, but they are very blurry.
Am I doing something wrong in the creating of the .pdf from word .doc? Is there a way I can create a .pdf from a .doc to improve compatibility?

One help for a lot of folks is to change the compatibility settings in your conversion. You should probably set it back to at least AA7, possibly further for web applications. There are even a few souls running AA4 and many with AA5. Usually AA5 can read AA7 files, so AA7 is probably adequate. You can also change the compatibility with PreFlight from within Acrobat. You may lose features of AAX, but if you just created the file from WORD that is probably not an issue. I suspect that the viewing software may not read the latest version, if they have viewing software at all -- you may need to determine that aspect.

Safari can´t read PDFs

My Safari don´t open PDFs that I can read with no problems with Firefox.
Does anybody know what happens?
Regards.

I too have had Safari quit and/or hang when trying to view PDFs. I recently loaded Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 (CS2 version) so I was suspicious it might be the problem.
Here was how I fixed it:
1) Download latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (9.0 at this time) & install
2) Quit Safari
3) Open Adobe Acrobat Professional
4) Select Acrobat:Preferences:Internet
5) Click the top check box: "Display PDF in browser using:"
6) Select Acrobat Reader in the list box
7) Open Safari & navigate to a PDF link or try this one - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf
8) Reader may ask you to input your password for access. Enter Password.
9) Document should open now.
