How do i read pdf files on mac air, i have downloaded adobe reader and not working

How do I read any files in pdf format? I have downloaded adobe reader yet have not been able to open pdf files?

If you can't view PDF files in Safari, take these steps.
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.

  • I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader ( I had it until recently) and don't have an "edit options"

    I can't open PDF files, can't open, update, or download Adobe Reader. (I had it until recently.) None of the "helps" seem to help. I can't even open Adobe Reader now.

    Ignore the instructions about "edit options", to install Adobe Reader download the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and run the installer. Alternatively, a direct link for the latest version of Adobe Reader is:
    http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US.exe
    The following article should help you set it up - [[opening PDF files within Firefox]].

  • Unable to open pdf files on my IMac I have downloaded

    Unable to open PDF Files on my IMac I have installed the latest Adobe Reader still no joy when I try to open any PDF File from a site I just get an empty black
    page.

    Is it only ones you have downloaded? What about for example the ones that came with your iMac - you didn't give a model but mine has a folder "User Guides and Information" that has a number of pdfs. Spotlight should find it for you.

  • How can I upload .pdf file from Mac to iPhone or is there an app for that?

    How can I upload a .pdf file from my mac to iPhone 3G?
    Or is there an app that will allow me to that?
    Thanks in advance
    Zia

    The app called "Air Sharing" allows you to do that. Connect to a wifi network, run the program and you can mount your iphone as a drive using Finder. Upload all the PDFs you like, and you can open them from within the Air Sharing app. Also, you can view most image files, most office files, etc.

  • How do I view PDF files on a website without actually downloading them?

    Whenever I encounter a PDF document on a website, it always downloads to my computer when I view it. Consequently I am getting left with all these documents that have been downloaded to my computer that I don't want to save, only look at once. It is a real pain to have to go back and delete all these files, some of which have obsure nondescriptive names, after I am done. How do I view but NOT download??

    When you tap on the PDF link, the file should open directly on the screen while you are in Safari. You can then tap on - Open In - in the upper right corner of the PDF. Then tap on Open In and select your PDF app from the pop up.
    If you do not see the Open In button, just tap on the open PDF somewhere and that will make the button reappear for a few seconds.

  • How do i download a pdf file from an e-mail? save to computer did not work.

    How do i download a pdf file from an email? Save to computer did not work.

    What is your operating system?  What is your email client?  What exactly means "did not work"?
    Most email clients I know have a 'Save Attachments' functionality; did you try that?

  • How can i see others files in mac air

    I want to manage the storage in my Mac Air but I don't know how to visualize "others" files so I can review what I have there...

    Finder > Go > all my files
    then arrange by size, or by date  ,etc. to see what you need to offload to an external HD.
    disk expert, or daily disk applications on the APP Store are also very handy for that as well.

  • How do you open .wim files on mac air?

    I am having a hard time opening .wim files that were backed up from my PC in my Mac Book Air. Any Suggestions?

    That is a Windows Imaging format. It is unknown to OS X. It may be possible to open the archive using:
    Open/Extract WIM File on Mac
    There are few freeware on Mac that opens/extracts WIM file. Anyway, you can try the following freeware.
    EZ 7z for Mac OS X
    Keka
    You can also try File Viewer for OS X - View Unknown Files on Your Mac.
