How do I open a pdf on a web page in Safari without Acrobat Reader?

At the moment I have removed Acrobat Reader 10.3.1 because it conflicts with Safari. Preview is a perfectly fine pdf reader (and with lots of very nice features) but I don't see how I can make Preview open a pdf from a web page until it has been downloaded to file. And I have found at least one site that will not download to file before opening.

Right-click in the PDF when it's displayed in Safari and select Open with Preview from the popup menu. Depending on how the PDF is embedded in the web page, this may not be possible.

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8, for the simple reason it was
created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
current version for compatibility.

How do I open a PDF to a specific page via the command line?

Several questions about opening PDFs from the Mac OS X command line:
1) How do I use the "open" command to open a PDF to a specific page? (I know I can open a document via: open doc_name.pdf)
2) How do I use the "open" command to pass multiple arguments (page no, zoom scale, view mode, etc...) to open a PDF file in a specific manner?
3) Does Preview handle the same parameters as Acrobat Reader? If not, what are the differences in options?
I've spent hours searching for this answer and have come up dry. I've downloaded Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" document -- it lists all of the parameters I need, however I can't get any of them to work from the command line.
My goal: Open a PDF from the command line to a specific page. At first glance, I thought this would be simple to do and find -- however, after a lot of searching I haven't found an example on how to do it.
Anyone have any experience doing this, and care to share?
Much appreciated! ---> Kelsey

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

How do you open a PDF to a specific page number in Safari 8.0?

I'm using the command #page=33 to try to force Safari to open a PDF to a specific page number. While this works fine on just about every website browser, it doesn't seem to work in Safari. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

The problem is most likely with the Safari PDF plugin, which doesn't process the open parameters correctly. To be fair, though, this is not a part of the PDF ISO specification but something that Adobe implemented on their own in their PDF plugins, so other applications are not obliged to follow it.
If you switch to using the Adobe plugin then it should work, even in Safari.

How can I open up 2 or 3 web page

How can I open up 2 or 3 web page

Do you mean having two or three web pages running at once in safari? If you are on iOS 5, if you tap and hold on a link, it will give you the option to open a new tab. If you look up the top of the browser, there is a + sign, if you click on that it will open a new tab, and you can toggle through tabs and close them as you wish.

How do I open a PDF file in my browser instead of in Adobe Reader?

Windows XP SP3
Adobe Reader 11.0.3
SeaMonkey 2.19 (which has the same internal "guts" as Firefox 22)
It used to be that, if I selected a link to a PDF file from a Web page, the file would open in my browser. Now, it opens in an Adobe Reader window. How do I restore the opening in my browser.
I have tried following http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them?s=Vie w+PDFs+in+browser&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_using-a-pdf-reader-plugin without success. I noticed during those attempts that, if I go to [Edit - Preferences] on the Adobe Reader menu bar and then select Internet under Categories, the "Display PDF in browser" check box no longer exists.

Aha! The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat. This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list.
Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37: nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37. This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder.
Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218: nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50.
As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat. Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current. Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying upgrades or newer versions.

How do I open a folder and update web page on different computer.

Hi All,
I started my iweb page on my powermac at work and have uploaded the pages online. I have saved the page to a folder and now want to work on the updates at home on my powerbook and can't seen to figure out how to open the folder. I've used QuickTime VR photos and the powermac at work is struggling and is sluggish so that's why I want to use my powerbook. In the file column I see "Publish to .Mac, All to.Mac, Folder but no open folder. Help
Thanks
Mark

in order to update a web page on a different computer you're going to have to move the entire site over to the other computer. to do so you need to move the "domain" file that iweb uses.
The “domain” file is hidden away in <home>/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
unless you've already moved it to another location on your hard drive.
there's more detailed info in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303045
once you update/change the page you want to update and publish, you'll have to move that domain file back to the other computer if you want to use the 'first' computer again to edit your site. if you just want to continue using the 'second' computer then you don't need to move the file back (obviously)
hope this helps.

Unable to make Acrobat X the default handler/opener of PDF files on a Windows 8 laptop with Acrobat Reader also installed.

I have a user with a Windows 8 Sony Vaio laptop with Microsoft Office 2013 Professional, Acrobat X Standard, and Acrobat Reader installed. Another program on his system requires Acrobat Reader so we cannot just remove that and keep it off the system. Regardless of what he does to set the default program to open PDF files with, when he opens a PDF file it always opens it in Acrobat Reader and not Acrobat itself. We have re-associated it and set the default program handling repeatedly and have also tried complete uninstall and reinstall of both Acrobat and Acrobat Reader which had no effect on this. At this point I am of the opinion that this is a bug and the file association is being overridden somewhere in the registry besides the file association entries. Any help is appreciated.

The only supported way to set the default handler (besides the Wizard and cmd line properties) is via the UI at Edit > Preferences > General > Default PDF Handler. The installer has to be invoked and many registry entries get touched during the switching process.
You should also verify your dot versions of the product support Windows 8: Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes.
Finally, while you Acrobat 10 should work with Reader 11, try reverting to Reader 10 (that should be your last resort).

How to display (not download) pdf document on web page?

Very confused as to how to hyperlink to a word document (pdf) and have the document displayed on my web page rather than download the document...I am putting together a website for a high school cross country team and would like to make meet results available....THANKS?

In that case, you would not create a hyperlink to it. This just enables it to be downloaded.
It won't work with Word, so it would have to be a pdf, but you can copy and paste it into iWeb. Go to the document and press Command + C. Then go to your iWeb page where you want the document to appear and press Command + V and it should appear in iWeb. You can alter and re-size it so that it can be viewed.

How to display URL on PDF copied from web page;Does from Safari browser/Not Firefox

When I make a PDF document from a web page when in Safari, it automatically puts the URL in with the document but not when I'm using Firefox.

What is the format of that online document - is it an image, or is it perhaps already a PDF document? If so, you can right-click on it and save it to your local disk.

How do I upload my PDF to a web page from my iPhone?

I'm filling out an application. I have downloaded and completed the PDF file. Where do I find the file to upload? When I click "upload file" on the application page it only pulls up photos from my phone.

Perhaps you can email it from Adobe Reader. Not sure.

Open .pdf in a web page

My client is the publisher of a magazine and that magazine
has a web site. He wants to place a .pdf file on a page in the web
site and have it open in that page. I know how to insert a .pdf so

that. Just want to open the .pdf in a web page.
I have no idea how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.

IE stops working when trying to open a PDF on the web.

I have checked the add-ons and Adobe Reader is enabled. I have the file AcroIEHelperShim.dll installed. When I try to open a PDF from a web page, IE stops working. What to do?

Thanks for your reply.
IE version 9.0.8112.16421; Adobe Reader version 10.1.3. Only in the last week IE stops responding when I try to open a .PDF file from the web – eg bus route map, catalogue etc. The messages sometimes say “error in preview handler” and sometimes “runtime error – abnormal program termination” – each time the program is terminated. The Reader opens any previous saved files OK, both downloaded from web or via email. Occasionally one from the web displays, with the error message over the top, but am unable to scroll the document or picture, enlarge it etc. I tried copying the PDF file to put on the desktop, but all that copied was the icon for the file.
