Can't see pdfs in safari

I can't see PDF links in Safari.  I get a tab with a plank page, althugh the url shows that it's looking at a pdf.  If I try to save it I get a message that it couldn't be saved.  Been like this for months...  I've been launching Firefox to look at what I need to look at but need to fix this.  Could it be some preference setting?

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.

    i can not see pdf files through safari

    I had the same problem after making Adobe the reader for pdf. Fixed it by
    1) removing the Adobe plug-in from the Internet Plug-Ins file in the Library.
    2) restarting Safari.
    Back to normal.

    Thanks for the reply.

    If you have an iPad 2 or 4S you can use airplay mirroring to show PDF's."
    Is there any other ways?

  • Help! Can't see PDF files

    I can't see PDF files on my screen (they open and I get grey or blank or black pages on my screen).  I can email those same files to my other computer and read them just fine.  I must have something set wrong on my computer.

    Do your PDF files have images in them?
    Make sure the "Show large images" preference is selected.
    In Acrobat 8, it is under Edit > Preferences > Page Display > Page Content and Information.

  • Can't save PDFs from Safari or Firefox after latest (10.1.3) update

    I just installed the latest update, and now when I open a PDF in Safari, I can't save it to my computer. I get a message saying "The document XXX.pdf could not be exported as XXX." When I try to do it from Firefox, the PDF won't even open. I tried deleting the plugins and reinstalling Reader and that didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi mccradks1,
    Regarding firefox, update it to version 10.0 or later and use it in 32-bit mode only.
    To save pdf's in safari, please try using the save button in toolbar and see if it works.
    Toolbar is present in two different forms:
    1.
    2. This toolbar appears when you hover the mouse at bottom of pdf screen.
    Thanks,
    Nikhil

  • Can't open PDFs in Safari

    When I try to open a PDF in Safari, my computer can't find the application. I used to be able to do it automatically. I even reinstalled Adobe PDF app.. What should I do?
    Allan
    PS I know Safari isn't popular anymore, but I still really like to use it.

    You may have to select the item type you want to be able to open
    with Adobe Reader (acrobat reader) and choose Get Info from Finder,
    then use the selection option there, to have Adobe open all like it.
    There should be a way to have Safari open any PDF and it would
    choose between the System's Preview - or - Adobe Reader, if you
    set it to do so. I don't have any browser set to open any files.
    They are set to download to the desktop and I run them offline.
    (But, a few web pages are live pdf items and the browser will
    run them inside a browser window, on occasion. These don't
    like to download when they are uploaded, without extra trouble.)
    You should be able to tell Safari in its preferences, what to do
    with a file type; whether to open it or save it to desktop. And
    since I don't use Safari (but have it upgraded, anyway) I don't
    recall the steps and places to look to change those preferences.
    My computers have four browsers each; and they are updated.
    If the version of a browser is old and a security risk, you may
    wish to see if there is a newer version or newer browser instead.
    If you have general system issues, you may wish to see about
    the basics, if they have not been done recently; I'd try to see if
    starting up in SafeBoot, running Disk Utility's 'repair disk permis-
    sions' then quit that utility, & restart normally. This may help.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I also just ran a quick test on a blank document and using the exact pixel dimensions as the OP I do NOT get the option of PDF - either in CMYK or RGB. This was also done in 8-bit @ 300dpi.
    EDIT:// But reducing the width to 30,000 DID allow me to save as PDF. Must be a maximum pixel size for these file types.
    Well caught.  I rounded the file size down to 100 inches wide which gave me 30,000 pixels.  Adding a single pixel to the width gave me the same save options as the OP.

  • Can't see PDF files in Mail - Missing plug in

    Hello!
    Sometimes I can't see the PDF in Mail. In the message appears only blank page and a "Missing Plug in" .
    When I try to download a PDF file the Firefox sent to me a plug in in  Quick time page but I downloaded all and doesn't fix the problem.
    Please, advise me.
    Thanks

    Hi Ryan,
    This is not an Acrobat related issue, it is related to your local user profile, I will recommend you to contact your network administrator so that he can help you to create a shared user profile on the network.

  • Can't print pdf from safari

    Ive been having this issue forever
    When I need to print a PDF file, I cannot do so from Safari.  It just comes up blank pages.
    If I go to another browser like Chrome, I have no problems.
    Anyone know why or what I can do?
    It seems Safari causes so many problems in addition to this one that I seem to have to use other browsers more and more

    Also, the little printing window that usually pops up on the dock when you print something and then quits itself after printing doesn't quit itself anymore. I have to actually select it and quit it myself. It's very annoying.
