Help! Can't see PDF files

I can't see PDF files on my screen (they open and I get grey or blank or black pages on my screen). I can email those same files to my other computer and read them just fine. I must have something set wrong on my computer.

Do your PDF files have images in them?
Make sure the "Show large images" preference is selected.
In Acrobat 8, it is under Edit > Preferences > Page Display > Page Content and Information.

Can I see PDF files in the Imac through AppleTV?

Many times I deliver a presentation.
If I buy Apple TV, can i see PDF files in the Imac on the screen?

Thanks for the reply.
"You can't mirror your iMac through Apple TV.
If you have an iPad 2 or 4S you can use airplay mirroring to show PDF's."
Is there any other ways?
I have Imac, Ipod touch, Iphone 4 but do not have ipad2 and 4S.
I want to mirror my PDF files on the screen.

1) removing the Adobe plug-in from the Internet Plug-Ins file in the Library.
2) restarting Safari.

Can't see PDF files in Mail - Missing plug in

Hello!
Sometimes I can't see the PDF in Mail. In the message appears only blank page and a "Missing Plug in" .
When I try to download a PDF file the Firefox sent to me a plug in in Quick time page but I downloaded all and doesn't fix the problem.
Please, advise me.
Thanks

Hi Ryan,
This is not an Acrobat related issue, it is related to your local user profile, I will recommend you to contact your network administrator so that he can help you to create a shared user profile on the network.

Can not see pdf file on desktop

when i saving from word to pdf on my windows 7 desktop is not on the desktop,but when i search for the file an check the file location it show it's on desktop can any one help me to solve this problem

Hi，
How about other files? or this issue only happens on the PDF? have you tried to manually copy a PDF to the desktop?
My guess is that the PDF does exist in a desktop, but not the real desktop, but a virtualized desktop.
such as path users\username \Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\username\Desktop
As ａtest, you can use Process Monitor to capture the process, download this tool from this link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
once you download and install it, open it, while it is recording the activities, open a dialog, which shows the specific pdf file, then in process monitor , use keyword (suc as pdf) to find the specific process

I can't see pdf files. Have Adobe reader loaded

sometimes I can and then I can't. as far as I know I am doing nothing differently. Very frustrating. Am new to mac and on a very steep learning curve. Help witl be appreciated.

As Rick mentioned Preview is very useful, if you don't know how to get to it there are several ways. My favorite for launching apps is the use Spotlight (that is the magnifying glass in the upper right of your screen) by using a keyboard shortcut of Command + Spacebar then typing the name, that way I don't have to take my hands off the keyboard. You can also navigate to any App in your Dock or using Finder by going to the Applications folder. Because you are new to OS X I'd recommend bookmarking and beginning to use:
Switch 101
Mac 101

Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

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.
