Cannot open embedded Adobe PDF files in Safari 5.1

I am disgusted to find that Apple has removed Safari's ability to open embedded PDF files in Safari 5.1. This is a huge mistake by Apple, and the only work around from Adobe was to use a different browser.
Get on the ball, Apple!!! Fix your MISTAKES!!!

Ah...this is an Adobe issue, not Apple.

  • Please HELP! i cannot open any Adobe PDF files anymore. i DL the new version XI and since no files h

    Please HELP! i cannot open any Adobe PDF files anymore. i DL the new version XI and since no files have opened - so i recently uninstalled it and re-installed adobe reader 9 but i am having the same problem - no pdf files open and its really causing a problem as i can not open any work documents. please help

    Three things to try (Reader XI)...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Cannot open a downloaded pdf file..."The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format."

    I have had this problem several times lately: I cannot open a downloaded pdf file. The error message reads: "The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format." But, of course, it is a pdf file.

    My MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5) is running OS X 10.9.4. Here is what happens when reading an online user manual that I want to save to the Desktop and read later as a PDF file on my iPad or phone. With Safari I will select "Export As PDF" and the file shows up on the desktop. Even after multiple trials, there will be a dialogue box indicating the file cannot be opened. If I check the file info, the size is "zero." Trying to save the file as a pdf using the Print menu yields the same results. I have tried both of these methods using Preview, Adobe Reader, and PDF Pen Pro. This strange behavior also occurred several weeks ago and I finally abandoned the effort. But when the same thing happens twice, it becomes an issue that needs to be resolved.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

    Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
    When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • I cannot open adobe or open any adobe pdf files. I get error ACRORd32.exe.

    Just started this problem.  Cannot open
    any adobe files or the main program. Any help?

    Thank you for responding.  Here is what I get.
    Runtime Error
    C:\program files\adobe\reader9.0\ACRORd.exe
    This application has requested Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    This may come from a new software I just installed. Is that possible? I
    purchased and installed "maxmyspeed.com" registry cleaner.
    If you can help me I really appreciate it. I really use Adobe a lot and it
    no longer works.  I am also now having problems with Excel when I "save as"
    a file under another name. Can not do it.

  • Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8 and 10.9, I cannot open newly downloaded pdf files.  Please help!  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to firstly, 10.8 and then, 10.9, I have not been able to open new pdf files on either Preview or Acrobat Reader. 
    I can still open previously downloaded pdf files but not new ones. 
    I can still open new pdf files online.  However, when I save a pdf to my computer, I cannot open them anymore.
    I upgraded to 10.8 a couple of weeks ago and then accepted a free upgrade to Maverick (10.9) this morning.  I was hoping that by upgrading to Maverick, I would be able to open pdf files again but alas, that is not the case.
    I really need to open pdf files as a matter of urgency as I do this on a daily basis.  I am not a computer whizz so if anyone can help find a simple yet effective solution to my problem, that would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    When I try to open a downloaded pdf file, I receive this message:
    "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
    Yet, when I try to open pdf files downloaded whilst still using Mac OS X 10.6.8, they open as normal.  So what is the problem, please?
    I have deleted Adobe Reader and re-installed it.  Yet, it follows the same pattern as above.  The same is true of Preview.  It's really frustrating because it means I can only open new pdf files using Safari (so I have to be online to do this).  I need to be able to open pdf files when I'm offline as well.
    Thanks.

  • Opening confusion of PDF files in Safari 7.0.4

    Whenever I attempt to open a PDF file using Adobe Reader in the latest Safari version 7.0.4... I am receiving the following warning that I must "launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.  I have uninstalled Adobe reader and reinstalled Adobe reader without success
    my question is:-  Is there another alternative to view PDF files thru Safari other than Adobe please or is there something I am missing in this whole App can someone assist me please

    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 or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk 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 by pressing 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.

  • Cannot open a layered pdf file (64mb only) inside PS CS5 "not enough memory"

    Hi!
    I cannot seem to open a pdf file inside PS CS5, I also created the file some 3 months ago, saving all the phostoshop layers in it. But now I can't open it inside the photoshop to retrieve the layers as I will be doing some changes. Unfortunately, the original psd file is gone for good. When I try to open it, it alsways says "not enough memory", i try to increase the ram to 4g, play with scratch disk setting but still no success. Any ideas? I can send the pdf file over and see if it open up in your machine. Please take note that the pdf file displays perfectly on a reader.
    Please help. thanks

  • Opening links to pdf files using safari

    While using safari and clicking on a link to a pdf file, a new page loads that is just totally black. If I use the firefox browser and click on the same link, a new page opens and displays the pdf perfectly.

  • Cannot Open Acrobat XI PDF files

    I installed Acrobat XI on a Windows 7 Pro computer.
    I can create PDF files on that computer as well as view/edit the files. When I send the files to another computer, I receive an error message 'file is damaged and cannot be opened'
    This has occurred on about ten different test files.
    I have sent test files to four other computers using different OS's and all have the same error message.
    Any thoughts as to the issue?

    I used MS Remote Desktop to log into the server which created the pdf document.
    I copied and pasted the PDF file to my local computer. From there, I emailed the document out to other computers.
    So, my local computer and four other computers get a 'damaged file' message
    I have one person report to me that he could open and view the PDF file when using Cloud-based MS Outlook.
    But, he cannot view the file on a local computer.
    We have tried various readers including: Adobe XI reader, Firefox and a few others.

  • Can not open multiple Adobe PDF Files at same time

    I am having trouble with opening multiple .PDF files in Adobe.  Once I have one (1) PDF open, when I try to open another file it opens and then instantly force closes that file, but leaves the original PDF file open.  There are no error notifications or anything - its as if you never tried to open the other file.  In short I can only have one (1) PDF open at a time.  It does not matter whether I try to open the file straight from the directory or whether I go to File -> Open -> find file and Click OK.  The same thing happens either way.
    Things I have tried already:
    1) Restart Computer (I think this is SOP for computer issues. LOL)
    2) Closed all adobe session and end processes (in task manager) for all adobe related processes (that I can identify).
    I am running Adobe 9 Professional on Windows XP.  Please let me know if you need any additional information.
    I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.  I have tried researching this issue on this and other forums without finding a similar thread/issue.
    Thanks!
    Mel
