How to Change PDF Viewer on Safari ?!

Hey,
I downloaded adobe pdf reader since it was on the staff pick's list thinking it was good, but it turn it to be slow. So now whenever i click on a pdf link it uses adobe to open it, but i wanna use preview since its much slicker. I tried uninstalling adobe it but it didn't work, safari doesnt have adobe to open the link, so it crashes or freezes or does nothing! how to Fix this ?!
Thanks !

Hi.
Go to Library/Internet Plug-Ins, and trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin
It could also be in User/Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
Empty the Trash
Good Luck.

  • How to Change PDF View Presets?

    Just recently, whenever I open a pdf, the little triangle arrow icons in my bookmarks bar have become HUGE, so that there are freakishly big spaces between each bookmark. So much so that it's not even worth using the bookmarks bar anymore, which is really irritating.
    This might have something to do with Mac OS Maverick; I dunno.
    Anyone know how to make the arrow icons small again?

    Bump.
    Any ideas? Any at all...totally clueless here.

  • Restoring Preview as default pdf viewer in Safari

    Hi,
    I mistakenly set Acrobat 7 as my default pdf viewer in Safari and now cannot change back to preview. I tried to click on a pdf doc and set preview as the default, but that doesn't work for pdf files that I need to download.
    I reset Safari, and now it no longer asks me to choose an Acrobat to use, but will not display the download, most likely because it is trying to use Acrobat 5.0 that is installed and is incompatable with Safari.
    I just want preview back. Does anyone know how to do this?
    thanks in advance for your help.

    Tuttle,
    THANK YOU!!!!!!
    I was going crazy trying to figure that out. Most of my pdfs (scientific papers)don't print well from Adobe. I have a LaserWriter 4/600 PS that I hooked up to my Airport Express via a crossover ethernet/Farallon system.
    I'm writing a paper and really need to be able to do this.
    Thanks for the quick reply. You continue to save me.....

  • Reinstate Preview as PDF viewer for Safari

    I am trying to get Preview to work as the default PDF viewer in Safari. I have deleted the Adobe Reader and Silverlight plug-ins from Library/Internet Plug-ins. I selected Preview as the default app for PDFs (all instances) in the info pane of a PDF. I restarted Safari and rebooted the Mac. Now it seems that Safari has no ability to view a PDF inline; it immediately downloads any PDF I click on and opens it with Preview.
    I looked for a way to reinstall Safari, although I'm not sure that is a solution, but did not find a Safari download on the Apple website. Do I need a plug-in or should the functionality be built into the browser? 
    How do I get a PDF file to display as a web page in Safari using Preview?
    Thanks -

    HI,
    Right or control click a PDF file on your hard drive. Then click: Get Info
    In the Get Info window click the pop up menu where you see: Open with.
    Select Preview. If Preview isn't available from the list click: Other
    Navigate to the Preview app and select it then click the Change All button.

  • How i change pdf file to excel format

    how i chang pdf to excell

    The forum you've posted to is for questions about the Formscentral product. Conversion of PDF to Excel is not a feature of this product. Adobe does offer products that convert file format types so I would suggest you investigate our other Acrobat.com offerings or a desktop version of Acrobat itself.

  • How to change pdf tp jpg to email?

    how to change pdf file created in pages to a jpg file

    Is it more than one page?  If not, open it in Preview and Save As a jpg file.  It can only do one page at a time (the current page showing in Preview) so you would have to do one page at a time doing Save As to multiple jpg's.
    At the more powerful end of the spectrum of possible tools there's ImageMagic.

    I can't scroll down to read my ebook. I have to change pdf view after pressing pg dn to view the next page. Please help!

    Sorted out the problem myself - secret is you have to go to Full Screen view to be able to scroll down. Easy as that - but not so apparent if you are new to this.

  • How do I change my default PDF viewer in Safari?

    I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader. Ever since, when I have opened PDF files on the internet, they have opened in Acrobat. How on earth do I switch the default back to Preview, or the regular Safari pdf viewer? I don't want to view my internet PDF's in acrobat because it takes forever to load them and it is extremely cumbersom for my purposes.

    To remove Acrobat as your PDF reader, go to your User Library>Internet Plug-in Folder. There you'll see the Acrobat plug-in. Click on it, then "command key + delete" will move it to the trash. Note: If your Plug-ins are used for more than one user account, you'll find them in the same folder I mentioned, however, they will be in the Main Library.
    While Preview is an option for PDF viewing, I prefer PDF Browser Plugin. It's free for personal use. Quick and easy to use, I think you'll like it.

  • How to make Preview the default pdf viewer in Safari

    I installed Adobe Reader and now Safari uses Adobe as the pdf viewer. How do I revert to the superior product of Preview as Safari's default pdf viewer. Finder still defaults to Preview.

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type of copy / paste:   /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • Q: How to restore Preview as the default PDF viewer in Safari

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac loaded and it took over the responsibility to display PDF documents in my browser but as much as I like Acrobat, it turns poor little Safari into a tortoise when viewing PDF's. Preview is 100x faster for simple PDF viewing and I'd like to restore that integration. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get that back in Safari without uninstalling Acrobat? I don't have an issue with files on my hard drive, just Safari.
    Thanks!

    Thanks guys for the good thread. Excuse me for jumping in here but I am seeing a very similar issue but slightly different and wondering any one can lend a hand. I used to have Acrobat 8.x Professional Trail on my MBP but dropped it in the trash. Now Safari asks me to locate Acrobat each time I click a PDF link online. I cant find it of course, it simply isnt there. I want to go back to defaults.
    Full disclosure: I have Acrobat 8.x Reader over in Windohs XP inside Parallels, and the OS might (might, not sure) see that as the app to open these, but of course that doesn't make any sense that it is going to be able to launch that inside the Safari window (dont want that even if it could, which I hope it cant).
    Thanks.

  • How to view adobe flash? how to save pdf opened in safari?

    I am new user on vista.
    Safari is cool. got addicted but have toughtime getting used to it.
    1. Flash files won't run. Adobe do not have flash plugin for safari
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/8869854@N04/545930914/ for reference
    2. PDFs open in Safari with no option to save the downloaded files
    I am sure mac pros would have found a way. Let me know
    Dell Inspiron 6400   Windows Vista   Ultimate Edition

    1. Flash plugin can be downloaded from apple at <http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html>
    2. There's also a Acrobat Reader plugin at the page mentioned above. With this, a 'Save a copy' button is displayed in the acrobat toolbar. On osx with builtin pdfviewer, a right-click on the pdf will show a menu with the option to save it.
    Don't forget to restart after installing the plugins

  • How to change PDF document dimensions - Acrobat Pro 9

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out how to change the dimensions of my PDF in Acrobat Pro.
    The original artwork was created in Illustrator and the final document is primarily for screen use (not print) so was created using pixels (600x665px to be precise). However when the artwork is created into a PDF, when viewed (and printed) in Acrobat, it is rather large and I want to make this smaller.
    If anyone can advise on this it'd be much appreciated!
    thanks

    You might play with the Touchup Object tool off the Advanced Editing toolbar.
    Use the tool to select the image. Any of the four corners can be "grabbed" and a mouse drag will let you change the space occupied, on the PDF page, by the image. Not a "fine control" but, sometimes, all that's needed.
    Or, in Preferences > Touchup category - the associated configuration pane permits selection of an installed image editor.
    Now, using the Touchup Object tool's context menu, you can use the "Edit Image..." selection.
    Edit the image and return it to the PDF.
    Be well...

  • PDF viewer and Safari

    The acrobat PDF viewer does not open when reading PDF files in Safari. The pdf file is opened with "preview" in safari instead. How do I get the PDF viewer to work with Safari. I have installed the acrobat reader and it detected that PDF viewer was not installed and installed it but it still doesn't open in a pdf viewer format.
    Any solutions?

    Songstress,
    I believe that this problem can happen if you have conflicting PDF plug-ins in your Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plugins folder. If you want to use Adobe's readers, you can use Acrobat's "Repair" option (I believe it's under the Help menu in Acrobat Pro. If you prefer to use Apple's own reader, remove Adobe's PDF plugin from the above-mentioned folder. You may want to check out Manfred Shubert's popular PDF Browser plugin (http://www.shubert-it.com/).
    Also, it would be work checking your ~/Library/Internet Plugins folder (in your Home directory). That is normally empty, so if you have a PDF plugin there, it could be messing things up.

  • Default PDF viewer in Safari... removing Adobe Reader

    I recently installed Adobe Reader because I find it easier to mark-up documents than in Preview, and now it is the default viewer in Safari.  I have tried to change this, but the help I have found on the internet isn't working... there is no internet plug-in (that I can find) to delete, and the preferences in Reader have the "Display PDF in browser using" box grayed-out, so I can't check that either.  Any advice?
    Also, if you know of a better program for reading PDFs (my main problem with mark-ups on preview is that it doesn't isolate individual columns, so when highlighting, it highlights all the way across the page, as opposed to individual columns) then please share!
    Thanks!

    Here is the link with instructions from Adobe.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    Go to the section called "Disable AdobePDFViewer plug-in" and follow the instructions.
    You must have root user privileges to change the Safari plug-ins. To display PDFs using the Safari PDF viewer, you must disable the Adobe PDF Viewer.
    Quit Safari.
    Log in as the root user. The root user privileges aren't enabled by default because the root user can change system files. For more information and instructions, see one of the following Apple documents: Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X or OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user.
    Choose Go > Go To Folder.
    Type /Library in the Go To The Folder field, and click Go.
    Create a new folder in the Library folder, and name it Internet Plug-ins Disabled.
    Open the Internet Plug-ins folder, and move both the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin into the new Internet Plug-ins Disabled folder.
    Note:
    If both AdobePDFViewer plug-ins are still in the Internet Plug-ins folder, drag them now to the trash. You may be asked for your name and password.
