How to get PDF's not to open with Adobe Reader in Safari?

I recently got Adobe Acrobat Pro. It's a great application but now when I open PDF files in Safari they appear in some strange viewing mode (shown here:)
!http://egillsigurdur.com/discussions/pdf.jpg!
instead of the usual view (probably some Preview plugin) where there are no navigations except when you mouse over, then you have the ability to download the file or to open it with Preview.
Is there some plugin I'd have to delete or something?

Do you have Adobe Reader installed? If so, open it and go to Preferences > Internet. Uncheck the box at the top of that window where it says "Open PDFs in browser using:", then quit.
Quit Safari, launch Terminal, enter this line and press Enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false
Type exit and press Enter, then quit Terminal.
Launch Safari and try to open a PDF file; it should render directly in the browser.

  • Busrting pdf file cannot be open with Adobe Reader

    OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on Linux redhat 5.2. Configured busting to local file system in BIP, with file format PDF and HTML. The bursting query used is select distinct today KEY,'2297-hen' TEMPLATE,
    'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,'en-US' LOCALE,'HTML' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
    'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,'/tmp/cmisout' PARAMETER1,

    from rpt2298The job ran successfully and two files generated in the target location. While the html files is OK but the pdf file cannot be opened with Adobe Reader. Verified that my Adobe Read is ok to open pdf files from other sources.

    Do you have any password or encryption settings in your Runtime Properties?I do not think so, but not sure. Is there a way to check it? Is there a properties file.
    Did I misunderstood it? but I can place both PDF and HTML files to the target location, the HTML filess are good only PDF files cannot be open by Adobe Read.

  • How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

    hello,
    i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
    thanks.

    The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.

  • PDF files won't open with Adobe Reader.

    When I double click on a PDF file Adobe Reader opens to a blank screen for a few seconds & then closes.  The same files open fine with Expert PDF software.

    Three things to try...
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • How did my pdf files get converted from 'open with Adobe Reader' to open with Adobe Acobat'?  And if I have a ''free'' Acrobat account why does it not open?  When I do click on the account it ask me to pay $89.99.  I never wanted Acrobat.  How can I get -

    How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
    Please reply to my e-mail:   [email protected]

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • How to fix problem with opening pdfs in Windows 8.1 with Adobe Reader XI?

    Every time I try to open a pdf on my new laptop with Adobe Reader XI, I get a message than either the file is not supported or its damaged. But it still opens fine on my old laptop with Windows 7.
    Any suggestions?@

    Hi. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Upon further investigation, it appears that the original pdfs I was transferring from my old computer to my new one were “grayed out” on the flash drive, so they wouldn’t open on the new laptop. When I went back and reloaded the pdfs again, they weren’t grayed out, and now everything’s working fine. But again, thanks so much for making the effort to help. I really appreciate it.

    Try tapping the pdf and pressing "open in". This should allow you to open your pdf in reader. Let me know if this does not work for you.

  • Form will not open with adobe reader when using chrome and mozilla

    The form opens fine in internet explorer, but when opened with chrome and mozilla it says that parts of the document could not be displayed and the 'submit form' and 'print' functions do not work? how do I get it so that the forms open with adobe reader as a pdf automatically instead of opening in another search engine tab?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Chrome and Firefox use their default PDF viewers instead of Adobe Acrobat / Reader and hence most PDFs will not be fully functional in those.
    For that you just need to change the settings :-

  • I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad.

    I am having trouble viewing the entire content of a PDF opened with adobe reader on my ipad. Mi am able to view the file in its entirety on my Mac but not on my ipad.  I have tried saving it to acrobat but that doesn't work either.  Any suggestions please.

    Hi,
    When you say the entire content, do you mean some parts of the pdf are not getting displayed or is it going out of the screen?
    Please send a pdf you are having issues with on chmaheshatadobedotcom, it will help us investigating the problem.

  • I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

    Hello:
    What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
    Thanks,

  • Email pdf to iPad - is there a way to open multiple pdfs at one time without having to hold each individually and open with adobe reader?

    I have a large number of pdf files to send to an iPad and it is taking forever to hold down each one and then choose to open with adobe reader.  Just wondering if there is a way to select all from the email to do the same action?

    Not that i know of but an alternate would be to use something like dropbox instead of mail. Their app works very well.

  • When I long hold a doc open with adobe reader does not appear

    When I long tap on a doc to open ; open with adobe reader does not appear

    Which app did you start with?  Apple Mail, Safari, iBooks or something else?
    Is a PDF document already open in other app?  If so, you can tap the PDF document to display a toolbar in the app.  Do you see the icon like this in the toolbar?
    You can tap the icon to open a popup then tap "Open in..." or "Open in Adobe Reader".  You may need to scroll to the right to find the red icon with "Open in Adobe Reader".
    In Safari, tap "Open in..." (blue text) in the top toolbar, instead.
    If you see something else on the screen, please let us know the name of the app.
