Facing problems to open PDF files in iBooks in my Mac, how can I fix it?

I didn't use to have problems opening and reading my PDF files in iBooks.
However, yesterday my MacBookPro started not to open any PDF files.
Its books, the app would open normally, but PDF files it just blinks the apps at the bottom of its screen but do not open any file.

Hello,
I guess my question here is why would PDF's open in Preview and not in iBooks? What is the point of adding them to iBooks if it just route them elsewhere?
Thanks,
Robert

  • I cannot open PDF files when I am using Firefox, how can I fix this?

    I cannot open PDF files while I am using Firefox. This is true for opening PDF pages in Firefox and outside of Firefox.

    I ran into the same problem, and here is what I have done to fix it.
    Go to Tools/Add-ons
    You might have to get the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (Likely 10.x.....)
    On any exiting Adobe Acrobat Reader select disable (to disable the plug-in)
    If you have already gotten the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader just disable any earlier version.
    There is no official way to uninstall a plug-in so this it the workaround.
    If you do need to uninstall the plugin you need to type about:config ....about:plugins search for the article to do it.

  • Does anyone have a problem with opening PDF files in iBook after updating the program recently

    I need to try to open the pdf file a few times before it goes in iBook.
    It is making me look like a fool cos I use iBook for my presentation to my clients

    I'm presumably having a similar problem with pdf's in ibook.  It seemed to work fine until about two updates ago.  We're using ipad II's with ibook (latest version as of today) for our board of director's reports.  These are sometimes several hundred pages and password protected pdf's.  Now the more whiney members of the board are *******' at me, so I need to find a solution relatively quickly.  Is there a way to back off the updates?
    What it does.
    When a PDF is chosen to open from the library, ibook open a "blank" file -- showing only the ibook background.
    One can try closing and re-opening the PDF and after three or four times it'll open -- seems to be random.
    These PDFs are created in Adobe Acrobat 9.

  • Problems opening .pdf files created in Windows in MAC

    My clients that are using Macs are having problems opening password protected PDFs that I created in Windows. Any suggestions?

    Are your clients using Adobe Reader on Mac, or the built-in Mac OS Preview?  Preview does NOT support the full PDF standard :(.

    Hi arewers,
    Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

    It should unzip if you double-cick.
    What are you seeing happen when you do that?
    Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

  • Problem with opening PDF files in Google Chrome browser

    We have a web page displaying links to dynamically generated PDF files located on the internal repository. This files are not just text PDF files but PDF forms created using XFA technology. This means that they must be opened and filled only in Adobe Reader and not in Foxit Reader or browser's built-in PDF viewer.
    Now, the problem is that a Google Chrome browser opens any PDF file using its own PDF viewer. And I want to force this browser to open PDF files in Adobe Reader.
    How can I achieve this without disabling 'Chrome PDF Viewer' plugin since I can't do this for all users of our web site?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. We use LiveCycle ES3.

    Each user would have to set each browser individually.
    Note: I don't think it's possible to set the default PDF viewer with code for every user who visits the site.
    See the following link to enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer in different browsers:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    Note: Not all PDF viewer browser plug-ins support PDF submissions, and most 3rd party viewers may not support forms created with LiveCycle or forms with Extended Reader Rights enabled.

  • Problem on opening pdf file in IE inline (through streaming method)

    Hello
              I had a problem opening pdf file at IE through streaming. I create a page
              that have a hyperlink to open the new window and talk to a serlvet. When
              clicked, this serlvet will stream a pdf file from the file server to serlvet
              output stream. And the pdf file will be displayed within the browser.
              The problem comes that I can see the Acrobat Reader trailer screen display
              but the brower show nothing. I click refresh button to that serlvet to
              reload then it come up the content.
              Is anyone have the same trouble on this and any solution will be
              appreciated.

    Hello Rondy,
              You vae set mime type to application/pdf, which is good. But IE doesn't care
              of it !
              And I think your URL is too long because and I'm sure it leads to a buffer
              overflow (as they say at MS in their bug report).
              So as a workaround, you can rename your servlet mapping from Ecd/Download to
              Ecd/Download.pdf if you can, or make the URL length much more smaller.
              Try to go to MS site to find what is the precise bug#. I can't remember what
              it its number.
              I hope you'll find a solution.
