Embeded PDF Files in Safari

Is there a way to read pdf files that are embded in a web page using Safari for Windows? I know that I can do this with IE & Firefox for Windows, and I can also do it using Safari for OSX. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
- Chris

That is not exactly what I am looking for. For example, on my company's website we embded pdf files directly into the page to be viewed. take a look at this link for reference:
http://www.udevices.com/282882W9434-3.htm
In the center of the page under the Catalog Number...text there is a pdf file hat is built into the page. In IE &Firefox for Windows I can see this embded box. In Safari I cannot see the file that is part of the page. The way we se som files is that they are incorporated as part of the page - not separate files to be opened up in new windows or tabs.
I can provde you with screen shots to compare the difference between IE & Safari if that would help.

  • 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.

  • How to view PDF files in Safari 5.1?

    Every time I try to view a PDF file in Safari 5.1.1 (double clicking or using the contextual menu)i, it downloads the file instead. Is there a fix for this?
    Adobe tells me that their plugin will not work with Safari 5.1 (with Lion or Snow Leopard) and suggests that I revert to Safari 5.0/Leopard.
    A.

    Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
    Move the PDF Browser Plug-In to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac. Try viewing a PDF in Safari.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

  • I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

    Dear everyone
    I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
    I read a european commission document explaining that
    http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
    If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
    I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
    but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
    I checked the following web page
    Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
    that is recommending the following:
    The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
    This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
    unable to open these pdf.
    Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
    Best regards

  • When I try to open an embedded PDF file I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe.

    When I try to open an embedded PDF file (Word doc) I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe. That program is either not installed on your computer, or is corrupt..."  I've tried  about everything from unchecking
    protected mode at startup to removing & reinstalling Adobe.  Nothing seems to fix this issue.  Any other ideas?
    This is happening on Adobe reader 9, 10 & 11 with MS Word 2010 & 2013.  I've uninstalled, cleaned & reinstalled Reader 9, 10 & 11, as well as Acrobat 10 Pro & 11 Standard.  Removed "Protected mode at startup, and changed
    the default program for viewing from reader to Acrobat.  This will not go away.  It is affecting production at our company.

    " Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder" . i can't find open containing folder in profile directory. it does give me the option to open the places.sqlite file using graphic converter. when i try that, graphic converter gives me a window saying that it can't be opened because it is corrupted or is not a file type supported by graphic converter.
    i appreciate your help with a workaround to get the old bookmarks. that works. however, the problem has morphed from that concern to why adobe reader [the default app.] won't open firefox .sqlite files. is the problem in adobe reader or firefox? also, how can i tell if the places.sqlite file is corrupt?
    i'm getting in over my head here and do appreciate your help.

    SAFARI CAN'T OPEN PDF'S ?
    I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02.  It worked fine up until  2 weeks ago.  The pdf's open in Foxfire and Chrome browsers.
    I can also download the pdf and open in acrobat directly.  Safari only shows the file as ASCII characters.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    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.

  • Can no longer view pdf files in Safari

    Adobe viewer installed. Was working okay. Upon first "download" of pdf file, had pop-up window to locate Adobe Reader application. Then pdf files were opened in Safari with Adobe Reader controls across the top of the Safari window.
    For no apparent reason, can no longer view pdf in Safari. The URL for the pdf file appears in the Safari URL, but the Safari window is blank. No pop-up window to locate Adobe Reader application during first "download" of pdf file. Safari Help --> Installed Plug-ins shows Adobe Reader for pdf. Can download pdf file by highlighting URL and then pressing Option-Return.
    Only change the previous day was update of Mac software which included a security upgrade and other software upgrades.

    Hi..
    Go to   /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the AdobePDF browser plugin to the Trash.
    Try Safari.

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

    cannot open PDF files in safari.  It tells me first character is invalid - I have deleted plug-ins and reinstalled the program.

    HI..
    If you are using Adobe Reader ...
    Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
    Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well >  Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    Then reinstall >  http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • 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.

  • Unable to print PDF Files in Safari 5.1

    Hi,
    1) Running Snow Leopard v10.6.8. Downloaded Safari v5.1. I now cannot print or save pdf files within Safari. I can view them okay, but the error message I get when trying to save a pdf file (which is a program document for a photo expo after it has loaded okay into Safari) is:
    The document “BIFB broadsheet program.pdf” could not be exported as “BIFB broadsheet program.pdf”.
    This is the same error message regardless of the pdf file downloaded into Safari (apart from the file name of course).
    Also, trying to print any downloaded pdf results in a blank page full of black (rather than white). ie, I cannot print anything either.
    2) Using Firefox v5.0.1, everything worked fine, ie. I can print and save pdf files without a problem.
    3) Adobe reader is loaded on my system but I don't use it. I removed a plug-in for Safari called 'AdobePDFViewer.plugin' but it made no difference.
    Any ideas?
    I am a tad loathe to update to Lion at the moment and will wait for the next dot update.
    regards
    Steve

    I visited a "genius" in the Apple Store, Leicester, this morning. After some playing around he seems to have sorted it. Apparently - now they tell me! - you don't need Adobe Reader on Macs as the Mac has its own pdf reader built-in. Safari 5.1 is now clashing with Reader and the best approach is to remove Reader - and the relevent preference files. I took one of my MBPs into the store and am just checking it out to see if everything is now ok. I'm now planning to make the changes on my other machine and will report back. (The genius said that my best approach was to bring in the second MBP but I'm not very convenient to Leicester so I'm going to give it whirl myself.)
    Wish me luck.
    But why did we load Reader in the first place? Are we that unusual in the Mac community? Surely, others must have done the same and are having the same problem with Safari 5.1???

  • Cannot view PDF files within Safari 6.0.1

    I have lost the ability to view PDF files within the safari web browser.  When I press on a link to a PDF file a blank/black screen will appear.  If I right click on the page I have the ability to Save the PDF file and then I can open it in preview. 
    I also have AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin installed in ~Library/Internet Plug ins/ ... folder. 
    I have tried deleting these files and restarting Safari but nothing seems to be working. I have tried installing the PDF Browser plugin form Schubert to no avail
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how can I get the ability to view PDF files in Safari using Moutain Lios OSX?

  • Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    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.
