Heads up display on PDfs in SAFARI?

Hi there,
Just got the quicktip of the week re: reading PDFs in Safari, tried it, they open just fine but no headsup display at the bottom. Not a deal breaker for me but I'm on 3.1.1 so waz up?
Philippe.

I, too, had that problem. Went to Adobe Reader Prefs, Internet, and unchecked all boxes re viewing with Adobe Reader. Then restarted Safari, and Preview becomes the pdf viewer of choice, and the handy "heads up" display appears at the bottom of the screen.

Since I got OS10.8.2 Safari won't display online PDF files?

Since I got OS10.8.2 Safari won't display online PDF files?
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

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.

Does Safari support a interactive PDF with hidden layers? I'm on version 5.0.3 and the interactive PDF displays just fine, but our web development team tells me all the layers display when they view the same PDF on Safari.

Does Safari support interactive PDFs with layers? Through the use of hidden layers and buttons we built in interactivity that allows the viewers to click on buttons to display different content. When I view the PDF in Safari 5.0.3 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 the PDF displays fine and the interactivity works. However our web design firm tell me the PDF displays all the hidden layers when they view it in Safari. Who's right?

Try updating your Safari to the latest version, 5.0.5.
Also check whether the rest of your system is up to date by going to Software Update in the Apple menu.

Firefox cannot load webpages that display pdf files, Safari works OK.

On websites, including http://www.greyhound.com/en/ticketsandtravel/default.aspx, where I buy bus tickets online, pages (ie. bus tickets) that should display as pdf files do not show up, or only partially (e.g. first page only). Before I updated Adobe flash, I received a message that I needed a Quicktime plug-in. After updating Adobe Flash, I don't see this, but I still can't see the pdf files. I don't have this problem with Safari. I'm using a Mac Intel, running OSX 10.6.7, Firefox 4.0.1

I had the same problem.
I fiddled around with the Plugins and and extensions.
I disabled (removed ) the PDF Nitro program that downloads with Firefox.
I enabled the Adobe plug ins.
I set the PDF information to "open PDF with Plugins".
Not open with OS system or browser.
Hope this helps.

How do I open desktop .pdfs in Preview but in-line (Web) .pdfs in Safari?

Hi, all-
I've got Safari 6 and Mountain Lion, and I like being able to view .pdf files on the Web in Safari, for example, they open in a new tab. However, I also have a lot of .pdfs on my desktop. I want those to open in Preview. What happens now is that when I double-click one, Safari launches, and the .pdf opens there. Then I have to click on the "Open in Preview" button at the bottom of the screen.
I have tried changing the "Open with" selection (in a .pdf Info window) to Preview, and I've clicked the Change All button. But then, everything opens in Preview (I guess as you'd suspect). So, when I click a link to a .pdf on a Web site, instead of nicely opening in a new tab in Safari, it opens in Preview.
To make matters more complicated, when I have gone back and changed the "Open with" option to Safari, then everything opens in Safari, including when I click on the "Open in Preview" button. In other words, when I see a .pdf in Safari, and then I click "Open in Preview," all it does is it opens another tab in Safari and displays the file there. It's either all or nothing.
All I want to be able to do is have .pdfs that are on my desktop open in Preview, and .pdfs that are linked to Web sites open in Safari. Is there any way to do this?

Please search the plugins page for the term "PDF". You should find this:
WebKit built-in PDF
MIME Type
Description
Extensions
application/pdf
Portable Document Format
pdf
If you find any other instances, post them.

Problem opening Form based PDF via Safari browser with Adobe Reader 9.3 on MAC

Hi,
I'm mentioning below the problem that we are facing when we open a form based PDF created using a licensed version of Adobe Livecycle Designer ES (Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496) on a MAC machine through a Safari Browser.
We tested this PDF form on a windows machine and the PDF opens in an IE browser via the latest Adobe reader 9.3 without any problem. I then received complaints by our clients that they were unable to open the same PDF on their Safari browser on a MAC machine, I tried to resolve the problem by downloading the latest version of Adobe Reader 9.3 for MAC but noticed that the Safari browser window would just keep refreshing the page without displaying the PDF at all. I then uninstalled the Adobe Reader 9.3 version and downloaded and installed an older version i.e., Abobe Reader 8.2 version for MAC and noticed that the PDF document successfully opened in the Safari browser. My question is why does a form based PDF work with an older version of Adobe Reader for MAC and not with the latest version? Our clients are not comfortable with the fact that we are refraining them from upgrading to the latest version of Adobe Reader for MAC and that they would have to downgrade their existing Adobe Reader 9.3 to a lower version Adobe Reader 8.2 in order for the PDF forms to work when it should be the other way around.
Is there any fix or a patch that is currently being worked on that would resolve this issue in the latest Adobe Reader for MAC? If yes then when would it be ready? This issue is quite critical for our business and would appreciate it if this would be looked into with high priority.
Thanks and Regards,
Sheikh Huraiz Ahmed.

That suggestion makes sense and likely works, but only if the user is on a machine that will allow them to use Reader. I'm sending this out to a lot of teachers, who are using machines either at school, or are school-issued machines, and they don't have the admin privileges to install software-- even Reader.
so my problem is, if they are stuck on a machine without Reader, and without the possibility of having Reader... it's just not going to work because Preview can't handle these functions.
And, since that is not an acceptable answer with what I'm trying to do... I will find another way to create/submit forms. I think there are some online possibilities I will have to make work.
very, very disappointing and frustrating.

Using IFRAME in JSF to display a PDF file

2 all,
How do i display a PDF file inside a JSF page in a IFRAME tag?
I store the PDF file location (like d:\images\pdf1.pdf) in my database. I cant give this location directly into the src attribute cos then the file will be rendered to only users who have access to that folder (the application is a internet application). IFRAME would be ideal as the display is very very neat (esp for pdf files).
To get this working i tried the examples given in balusc blogs (on image servlet) but the problem is that my servlet is not getting called. Find below the web.xml and imageDisplay.jsp pages that i tried
web.xml

</HTML>The image servlet is what i got from balusc's site (http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/04/imageservlet.html).
I dont know why my servlet is not getting called. Can someone help me with this pls?
okay let me post the modified code for my image servlet here
public class ImageServlet extends HttpServlet {

Thanks Balusc!!
I have made use of your code to display PDF files in an IFRAME tag too!!! I just dint believe that this would be possible. Please just take a look at my JSP page.
<h:form id="CaseLookUp">
     <%
     String path = request.getContextPath()+"";
     out.print(path);
     %>
<iframe scrolling="auto" src="<%=path%>/imageServlet?file=D:\70-229 V5.pdf" width="80%" height="600" ></iframe>
     </h:form>

Opening a pdf in safari

Why is it that everytime I open a pdf in safari it has to ask me what to open it with? Isn't there a way to choose a program to always open pdfs? I'm pretty my friend doesn't have this problem on his imac

Safari already has the ability to display PDF files in the browser; no need for Acrobat Reader at all. To cure this problem, do this:
1. Quit Safari, open Acrobat Reader and choose Preferences > Internet. Uncheck the checkbox at the top where it says "Display PDFs in browser using:", then quit Acrobat Reader.
2. Go to HD/Library/Internet Plugins and remove the plugin for Adobe Acrobat (I forget the exact name, but there should only be one there with Adobe in the name).
3. Copy and paste the line below into Terminal and press Enter:
*defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false*
then quit Terminal, logout and login again, open Safari and try dragging any PDF file that's currently on your Mac into an open Safari window; it should display perfectly and that will resolve your problem.

Display a PDF file from local drive

Hi,
I would like to display a pdf file that is actually stored on the portal server hard drive.
What I have tried to do is link an iFrame element to the url of the file: "D:
MyFolder
myFile.pdf"
But it doesn't work. I have the following error when trying to do that:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.InvalidUrlRuntimeException: Invalid URL=D:/MyFolder/myFile.pdf
Does this means that iFrame can only display http URLs ? What are the other ways to easily display pdf files ?? I'am stuck with that problem and can't find any other solution.
I also tried with "servletResponse.getOutputStream().write(fileByteContent);" but the problem is that I am not in a PAR application, and I don't have the servletResponse element and don't know how to get it.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
   You can not access the .pdf file using the nornal path (c:
), use the following code to open the pdf in ur iframe, this will work i used it in my application.
String sFileName =
strCampCodeVal"_"nReqIdVal+".pdf";
String sFile =
"C:
SBLI
BCP
barcode_files
"+sFileName;
File fFile = new File(sFile);
     if ( fFile == null )
         System.out.println("System can not download the
                                 file at this time. Please try again later.");
              return;
//Checking the file for existence
     if ( !fFile.exists() || !fFile.canRead() )
         System.out.println("You have specified an
                   invalid file to download. Please check and try
                    again.");
         return;
//set the content type its important , try with applicatio/pdf also
     res.setContentType("application/force-download");
//seting the header
     res.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=" + sFileName);
     res.setHeader("Cache-control", "must-revalidate");
     ServletOutputStream sosCur = res.getOutputStream();;
//reading the in and writing the stream

                          while( (nBytes = bisFile.read(bBuffer, 0, 4096))!=-1 )
                   sosCur.write(bBuffer, 0, nBytes);

Open pdf in safari using: ACROBAT 9 PRO

Hi,
I am using safari 4.0.3 and Acrobat Pro 9 10.4.3. When I click a pdf file in safari, it opened with it default pdf viewer. However, I want to use acrobat to view pdf (in safari).
Here are the solutions I've tried:
1 Acrobat->Preference-> Internet->Display PDF in browser using-> Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.3
2 Acrobat->Help->Repair Acrobat Installation->adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin->Continue then it says successfully installed
3 Safari->Help->Installed Plug-ins. I can NOT find acrobat/pdf plugin
4 Library/Internet Plug-Ins: I CAN find AdobePDFViewer.pugin
5 Users/My name/LIbrary/Internet Plug-Ins: I CAN ALSO find AdobePDFViewer.pugin
6 When I open a pdf on my computer, it runs Acrobat 9
NONE OF THESE ABove WORKS.
Could anyone please give me some suggestions?

I would guess that Acrobat Pro isn't compatible with Safri 4.0.3 yet, and perhaps even 10.6, but only Adobe really knows, so you'd be better off asking them. If it's not, I'm sure they'll release a patch or update of some kind after 10.6 ships.
If I were you, I'd uninstall the portion of Acrobat that normally works with Safari to render PDF files and use the built-in rendering abilit of Safari itself. Not only is that simpler, but Acrobat Pro is a huge memory hog.

Can't zoom PDFs in Safari nor open in preview

The Toolbar referenced by Apple help below no longer appears after the last update to Safari:
View PDF files
When you click a link on a webpage for a PDF file, Safari displays the PDF in your browser window and provides a toolbar to help you view the file.
Open Safari if it is not already open, and go to the PDF page you want to view.Open Safari
To see a toolbar, move the pointer to the bottom-center of the page. If you move the pointer away from the toolbar, it disappears after a moment.The toolbar has four buttons. Point to each button to see what it does.
To change the font size, click the “Zoom in” and “Zoom out” buttons.
To view the PDF file in Preview, click the “Open PDF in Preview” button. After Preview opens, choose Help > Preview Help for more information about viewing PDF files.
To save the PDF file on your hard disk, click the “Save PDF to download folder” button.

I just updated my grandfather's computer (probably 10.6... I forget), and now he's experiencing the same thing. Interestingly, if I go to a test PDF found randomly on the web, it opens and shows the 4-button toolbar. But when we open one of the PDFs from his TD Ameritrade account, they open with no toolbar (and none to be awakened by moving the mouse down bottom center).
I question the value of opening PDFs in Safari at all when there's a great Preview readily available, but I put that on a different post.

Display of PDFs in 5.1?

I've just updated from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 and from Safari 5 to Safari 5.1. To my surprise, PDFs are now displayed in QuickTime (first page only), where they had rpeviously been displayed in Preview. I moved the QuickTime plugin from Library/Internet Plugins to Library/Disabled Plugins, restarted Safari, and PDFs resumed being displayed in Preview, but I could no longer view movies (for example, from lynda.com). I saw that I had an AdobePDFViewer plugin, which I also disabled.
I did a search of the discussisons and found similar problems dating back to 2005 and 2006, but didn't come up with anything regarding Safari 5. I'm a long-time Mac user and have never encountered this before. I do not have Adobe Reader installed, as I have always preferred to have Preview display PDFs in Safari (although I do have CS5 and Acrobat 9 Pro installed).
So, right now it seems I can either view PDFs in Preview, or view QuickTime movies in Safari (depending on the status of the plugin), but not both, which I could easily do in 10.6.7.
Does anyone knwo of prefernce or plist files that can safely be deleted to fix this? Or si there some other fix? This seems as odd problem as it only involves Apple software which should work together.

@ John Newell: You must be on Lion. Apparently the Library folder is hidden from users. I'm on 10.6.8, but have heard that if you hold down the option key while selecting the "Go" menu in the Finder, you'll be able to navigate to this folder.
Once I found the quicktime plugin file, I right-clicked on it and had the choice of opening it with "Property List Editor," which I think comes with Xcode.
A text editor such as BBEdit or TextWrangler can open it, but instead of a checkbox you'll have to find the correct line of text and change a value from "true" to "false," which is the text equivalent of unchecking a box. My directions above can probably help you navigate to the correct line of text. But this may be a bit too much "under the hood" for some people to feel comfortable with. I can only assume it will work in Lion. If you try it, please let us know.
All I can say is that what I listed above worked for me without installing any extra plugins. (I was wrong, though, about the right-click "Open in Preview" being gone when viewing a PDF in Safari. It's there as before.)

(iPhone) How to open a bundled PDF in Safari?

I have a PDF I'm bundling with my iPhone app. I want to be able to tell Safari to open it using the URL system (or whatever else that might work), like for example:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"mypdf.pdf" ofType:@""]]];
I just can't find any information on how to do it. Also if I split that command in multiple parts to ease the debugging, I see that the string returned by the NSBundle call (which is a valid path) is not accepted by the NSURL constructor, hence resulting in a nil URL.
Any help?
Thanks!

I can't answer the Safari question but here's another option for your application. The Quartz framework allows you to open and render PDF documents. Look at the Quartz 2D Programming Guide and look at the QuartzDemo sample app.
This would allow you to display the PDF directly in your app. Just a thought.

I have deleted all files associated with schubert it and adobe 7 and reset safari and repaired permissions, but the problem still occurs, without shubert it and adobe 7.
Weird HUH? any suggestions?

the application is safari. - in this case is it safari thats displaying the PDF or a plug in. at this point i dont have any 3rd party PDF plug ins.
the link is on a website, i have not downloaded the PDF. When I click on the link, another safai window opens and it displays the PDF. I close the window, and click on the same link. When that happens, the gibberish appears.
....at this point...im maybe thinking that its a problem with the web server? This doesnt happen all the time.
Thanks so much for you interest in my problem. =)

Pdf from safari won't open

When I save as a pdf from Safari, I get a file that "Acrobat could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

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 PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer 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 (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.

Heads up display on PDfs in SAFARI?
