Can't See Downloaded PDFs in Safari 3.0.4

Installed 10.4.11 over 10.4.10 using software update. Safari 3.0.4 set to show downloaded PDFs in a Safari Window. Adobe Reader 7.0.9 set to show PDFs in Browser Window. Safari correctly opens a new window as the PDF download begins. All seems to work fine until the moment Safari is about to display the downloaded PDF in the Safari window. At that instant, the Safari window turns completely dark gray and you can't see the PDF at all. The whole content area of the window turns dark gray. I grabbed Safari 2.0.4 from my backup and tried it. Same result. I reinstalled Adobe Reader from scratch. Same result.
This is critical here. We have to view PDFs all day.
It all worked fine under 10.4.10.
Any ideas?

Thanks. We can now see PDFs after installing Adobe Reader v8 as you recommend. But we sure miss the user interface of Reader v7 ! The user interface of Reader v8 will take some getting used to.
Would be nice if Apple documented the dependency/requirement somewhere, no????

  • I can't open downloaded pdfs from safari

    When I download a file from an internet site.  I cannot open it and I get an error message "safari cannot open because no available application can open it"  It is just a pdf document.
    Also, when I try to open documents from my documents files, I get a similar message saying "The application preview can't be opened"

    I was going to ask you to post a screenshot, but that doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Below the Open with menu, there should be a Change All button. You don't have it?

  • I can't see downloaded wallpapers from Safari or other apps in my Photos folder

    Only the pictures that I click from the camera are being seen in the camera roll and the older wallpapers. None of the new pictures downloaded from Safari or other apps are seen. I tried deleting some photos, hoping that there must be a limit on the number of photos one can keep in the folder, but even that didn't help.
    Can someone tell what is the issue over here? I am using an iPhone 4.

    Hello Breede,

  • Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad?

    Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad? They only stay in the Acrobat.com section and when I try to move them the "documents" partion is not listed as an option. Only the folders i have within acrobat.com are listed

    The pdfs have been uploaded to Acrobat .com (from my computer) I open the Adobe reader on my ipad and see them in the acrobat partition of the reader. I tap on them and they open.  To test whether they were truly downloaded ,I turn off wifi and they still open. I consider this "downloaded" BUT... they stay in the acrobat.com partition of the reader. Nothing ever goes or lives in the "Documents" partition..nor can I move anything there.....Why not? What is the"documents" partition there for if nothing lives or can be moved there?

    How can I open a PDF in Safari without the screen turning black?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
    Depending upon your version of OS X and your version of Safari, as detailed in the Adobe help document links below, Adobe pdf documents created with the latest releases may require an (updated free) Adobe plug-in for Safari, or (free) Adobe Reader in order to display properly.

  • Umm I just got this iPhone 5 and cellular data is not working, can't access apps, heck can't even download any and Safari...ummm yeah not happening.  I'm with Sprint if that makes any difference.

    Are you in an area where there is no coverage?
    You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    If that doesn't help, then yOu'll need to contact Sprint again.

    How can I see my Pdf,s from my Pc on my Smartphone?

    If they're only on your PC, you can't.
    Post a copy into the cloud to share it across different devices. Adobe Reader on both desktop and mobile has an integrated cloud storage system precisely for this reason. It's very prominently advertised in both apps, you can't miss it.

  • Can no longer download PDFs, advice & suggestions requested.

    I work in an office with a Mac that has OS X 10.4.11 (400 MHZ Power PC G4).  I have Acrobat Standard version 7.1.3, which is horribly outdated, but finances only allow for free upgrades.
    A month or so ago I was no longer able to download PDF files, and at times my work requires me to download various government forms. I had Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.1.1 when the trouble started, but was able to download free upgrades to the present Acrobat 7.1.3.
    My favorite browser is Safari 4.0.3, and when I try to download a PDF in Safari I get a nearly blank screen, but in the upper left hand corner is a small blue box with a question mark inside.
    A few months ago I downloaded Firefox 3.5.3, and for a time that worked well, but now when I open Firefox and attempt to download PDF files I get a blank screen, and up in the gray bar area (where saved websites are shown) I get what appears to be the web address for the particular PDF file, but the download isn't there.
    This computer also has Internet Explorer 5.2.3, and I believe higher upgrades aren't available for Macs. I started working here in 2005, and even back then Explorer didn't work well, it seemed to only half-open a website. (My terminology is bad, I don't know how to say technical things properly.) For years I've been ignoring Explorer, but just to see what would happen, today I opened Internet Explorer 5.2.3, attempted to download a PDF form, and it more or less worked. I went to the IRS website, downloaded a 1040 form, and was able to fill in the blanks. I then went to our state Revenue website, was able to download tax forms, but wasn't able to fill in the blanks. I don't like Internet Explorer, but if it was possible to get a free upgrade that would work with Macs I'd download it, just to have access to needed PDF forms.
    Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to once again have the ability to download PDFs while using Safari or Firefox? I posted a question on a Safari discussion forum, but didn't get any answers. I've spend the  last couple of weeks checking out this Adobe site, found several questions about PDF downloading problems, but haven't come across an answer.
    Anyone who can offer help will have my undying gratitude.

    Dear Graffiti,
    I just had a chance to play around with the control>click suggestion. When I'm in Safari and get my "blue question mark in a box" I can control>click the question mark, choose "save image to the Desktop" from the drop down menu, and get the form to download. Unfortunately the fill-in form is in Preview, and not Adobe, so I can see the form and print it out, but I can't fill in the blanks.
    When I did control>click on the form name at the website, instead of getting my blue question mark I got a different drop down menu. One option was "download linked file". That seemed like a possibility, so I clicked that. I got a message that went something like this "view.asp.html is an application. Are you sure you want to open an application?" (or maybe it was create an application) Anyway, I didn't want to mess around with applications for each PDF file I try to open, so I canceled that.
    I tried control>click in Firefox and in Internet Explorer, and discovered that the reason why Explorer had been sort-of working before is because it had been opening the forms in Preview when I was just clicking.
    So control>click gives me different options, but I'm not able to figure out how to download the PDFs into Adobe Acrobat, which is how it used to work.

  • How do I download PDFs from Safari by default?

    I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window. I know it can be done, worked before I installed a new drive. But I don't remember what to do to make downloading the default.
    Thanks!

    I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window.
    What version of Mac OS X are you running, and what version of Safari? There is no default behavior to download a PDF file; you can only do that by Control-clicking on the link for the file and choosing to download it.

  • IPad cannot download PDFs from Safari.

    My brand-new iPad cannot download PDF files from my class website on Safari. I was wondering if there was any kind of downloading application I needed to install first. Any thoughts? When I touch the file icon, a little window appears saying "Download failed: Safari cannot download this file."

  • ITunes 11.1.5 Why I can't see added PDF files!

    Hey guys,
    I added some PDF files to my Library and I still can't see them on the left side menu where I can se my Videos, music and Apps...
    what could be the reason?
    I am using iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac OSX 10.9.2
    Regards

    You no longer use iTunes to handle pdfs.
    iBooks > File > Add to library.
    If the pdf is an email attachment: control click > Open with > iBooks.
    Some pdfs on websites have the option to 'Open in iBooks'.
