FF4 needs to display PDF files inline on the Mac, like Safari.

Without support for viewing / controlling PDF files within Firefox 4.0 on the Mac, I simply can't use it. This disappoints me, the people at Firefox should have made this an absolute requirement before launch. The really infuriating thing is, I really like the changes in Firefox 4 and want to use it. For future reference here is a short list if absolute MUST HAVES ... JavaScript, Java, Flash, PDF.

But it should be offering your the option to use the plug-in for free if for private or educational use. There should be a box or something in the dialog window to tick to state that education/private is your intended use. (It has been many years since seeing that dialog window, so I forget exactly how it looks.) After answering that question, from that point onward it should not bother you about registration anymore.
You are a true genius.
I have told my Papá that for many years and he just smiles at me and shakes his head a bit!
Thank You for extending the courtesy of awarding points to comments that are helpful or provide answers in the Apple Support Communities, as this is not mandatory, but it is much appreciated!

Firefox will not allow me to download/display pdf files - wheres's the glitch

When I click on a pdf file to download it nothing, zero, happens and I have to switch to IE and start all over to get the pdf file - very incomvenient. I use Norton security software which does a few things to me that I don't like but can't find but since it does not interfere with IE I doubt that it's in Norton so must be fire fox. This is a phenomenon that has just arisen in the last few months or so

Reading PDF files is not Firefox, you can read file external to the browser or with a plugin.
The Download Window closes instantly the download finishes or may not even open at all bring it back with Ctrl+J
You are using Foxit Reader instead of Adobe Reader
make sure it is compatible with Firefox 5 if it is running within Firefox, check their site
or install Adobe Reader unfortunately it comes with Adobe Air
whatever that it, and being adobe you have to watch out for
crapware also being install, McAfee Security Scan, Google Chrome, Adobe Air

HT2506 every time i open an image or PDF file using preview the mac take a long time to load and opens every single file the usually opens with PDF at the same time after a noticeable delay i would like to know why and i would like to know how i can avoid

occasionally this is accompanied by a long delay after wich the preview oppens every file in the downloads folder and i can navigate through them with ease
i would like to know why the application has this elay i really want to avoid it
because every tome i want to oppen an image there is a risk it would take a minnute or two

Firefox 33 doesn't display a pdf file when using the response object

Firefox 33.0.2 does not display pdf files when using the code below from an asp.net program, which works for previous versions of Firefox, and also works with IE. I'm using the built-in pdf viewer. All of my plugins are disabled.
Dim strPDF As String
strPDF = Session("filname") 'pdf filename
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.CacheControl = "Private"
Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache")
Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0")
Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate")
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + strPDF)
Response.WriteFile(strPDF)
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()
Response.Clear()
Response.End()
Session("filname") = ""

Thanks cor-el. You pointed me in the right direction. It appears to me that a reported Firefox 33 bug with the handling of compression (Transfer-Encoding: chunked) is the culprit (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026743). I was able to find a work-around by specifying the file size and buffering. Below is my code, with some code from http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/440054/How-to-Open-any-file-in-new-browser-tab-using-ASP.
Dim strPDF As String
strPDF = Session("filname") 'pdf filename
Dim User As New WebClient()
Dim FileBuffer As [Byte]() = User.DownloadData(strPDF)
If Not (FileBuffer Is Nothing) Then
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.CacheControl = "Private"
Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache")
Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0")
Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate")
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-length", FileBuffer.Length.ToString())
Response.BinaryWrite(FileBuffer)
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()

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
Ramon

How to display Pdf file in iPad site

Hi
How to display Pdf file in web page which can able to view in iPad safari?

You can't really.
You need to use DHTML in the swf-wrapper HTML file, usually a
division wrapped iFrame, and load the PDF into the iFrame as an
overlay to the Flash.

How to display pdf file with java code?

Hi All,
i have a jsp pagein that page if i click one icon then my backing bean method will call and that method will create pdf document and write some the content in that file and now i want to display that generated pdf document.
it should look like you have pressed one icon and it displayed pdf file to you to view.
java code below:
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) ec.getResponse();
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=\"" + temppdfFile);
resp.encodeRedirectURL(temppdfFile.getAbsolutePath());
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
ServletOutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
ServletUtils.returnFile(temppdfFile, out);
out.flush();
and above temppdfFile is my generated pdf file.
when i am executing this code, it was opening dialog box for save and cancel for the file, but the name of the file it was showing me the "jsp file name" with no file extention (in wich jsp file i am calling my backing bean method) and type is "Unknown File type" and from is "local host"
it was not showing me open option so i am saving that file then that file saved as a pdffile with tha name of my jsp file and there is nothing in that file(i.e. empty file).
what is the solution for this. there is any wrong in my code.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance

return "success";
This is my action method which will call when ever i press a button in my jsp page.
This method will create the barcode for the given barcode number and write that barcode image in pdf file
(i saw that pdf file which i have created through my above method, This PDF file opening when i was opening manually and the data init that is also correct means successfully it writes the mage of that barcode)
This method taking the jsp file to open because as earlier i said it was trying to open unknown file type document and i saved that file and opended with editplus and that was the jsp file in which file i am calling my action method I mean to say it was not taking the pdf file which i have created above it was taking the jsp file

Safari will not display pdf files since installing OS 10.8.2

Safari will not display pdf files uner Lion 10.8.2

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 into the text box that opens (command-V), 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.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
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.

How can I enable Safari's ability to display pdf files?

Hi there,
In Safari 4.0.3 (MacBook Pro) pdf links open as a dark grey block. That is, instead of the intended text, I see just dark gray.
Control-click allows me to save the file to the desktop in which case Preview can open them with no problem.
How can I enable Safari's ability to display pdf files?
Thanks for any help,

HI,
If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, launch Adobe Reader. From the Menu Bar, click Adobe Reader/Preferences. Select the Internet category...the top option is the one you want. Uncheck the box to make sure Adobe doesn't keep making itself the default reader.
You might also need to open /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and delete Adobe's PDF viewer plug-in.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

Does anyone know why after upgrading to Mavericks, Safari will not display PDF files, is there a solution?

I cannot get Safari to display PDF files, it shows a blank screen with the comment that Safri has blocked PDF, however when you unblock it still does not show the PDF, I have had to rely on Firefox for this, which I find not too good. Any help very much appreciated.

Problems displaying PDF files in browser - Help requested

The scenario is that I visit a website that has information available via a link that normally would open a PDF document in a browser window. The sort of document, that once open, if I clicked 'File-save as' in the browser would immediately save as a PDF file. In the current situation I click on the link and all I get that opens is a screen full of random characters from top to bottom. I have tried right click 'file save as' on the link that would open the PDF in the browser, but all it wants to save is a .PNG file, i.e. http://echa.europa.eu/echa-styled-theme/images/doc_lang/en.png - which is what I get from right click 'properties' on that link which should open the PDF in the brawser - normally I would see a .PDF file described. I therefore can't even download the file to open as a PDF direct from a stored location on my own PC - all it seems to see is the graphics format - this probably why when the browser goes to open the PDF file I get the random characters, i.e. the application is doing its best to translate what it does see. I would be grateful for some advice. Pertinant information follows:
1. It happens across more websites than just one example that I've quoted.
2. It happens on my desktop only - I don't have the problem on 4 other portable computers, including ones running the same O/S
3. Desktop is running Windows Home Pro, all updates executed, running the latest version of Acrobat reader with all updates executed - I tried yet another uninstall, reboot, new download, reinstall, reboot etc. yesterday. Desktop is HP Pavillion with 12GB RAM
4. I get the random character display when running IE9 on the desktop, I have also replicated the problem with other versions of IE installed instead. If I try using Chrome as a browser it goes away and tries and just fails to open the link entirely and reverts to the original page.
5. I've already checked online for similar problems and can confirm that all the Adobe plugins are installed per what seems standard advice I have also checked the internet settings in Adobe Acrobat preferences and all seems fine.
6. Thing like the browsers and Adobe arobat are running as per their standard set-ups with nothing else done to these.
7. Any other PDF files stored on the hard drive of the desktop open in Acrobat reader without problems
8. Acrobat reader version is 11.0.06.70
Any assistance to open the PDF files in the browser and get it working particularly with IE would be great, I am quite IT literate and can try most things. Many thanks

I have no idea how to edit the above message, but apparently it has been rejected. I cannot understand why, I am a regular contributor in many forums and have never suffered the indignity of having had a message rejected before. The message contains an excellent example of the problems I am having in the following link Vacancies
How on earth can I demonstrate the problems I am having without being to post an example - that example has both sorts of links on one page, ones I can open and ones I can't - if anyone with technical knowledge is trying to help me then that is just the sort of page that would be useful to help solve the problem. Rather than the link to the ECHA website in the above posting (which I note was approved). I struggle with your logic in accepting one message and rejecting the other. It is difficult enough as a user to describe a problem in words let alone have the best example of the problem rejected without explanation and no right of appeal on the email that I got telling me. Not happy here! All I am trying to do is to solve the problem I have
