How to make Safari automatically open PDFs in Preview?

Well, the subject says it all:
I would like Safari to download PDFs when i click on them and then open them automatically in Preview.
I don't want any plugins nor any Acrobat.
Does anyone have any idea?
(I have tried acrobat and the schubert-it plugin, neither of them has really satisfied me, so i have removed both of them.)
I have, of course, looked in this forum for any hints, but, although there seems to be a lot of posts about the "safari & PDF" topic, i didn't find anything solving my question.
Any suggestions or hints will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Not sure why you prefer to open the PDF outside of
Safari?
i think it's more convenient:
Acrobat is too slow; and when viewing PDFs inside Safari i don't have all the nice keyboard shortcuts for zooming, flipping pages, copying stuff from the PDF is not as smooth, etc. It's just the overall look-and-feel that's much nicer in Preview, IMHO.
Anyway, I guess you're saying Preview does not open
after the PDF download.
Yes, that's what i meant.
Have you tried accessing the
info panel for one of the PDF files and changing the
"open with" selection to "Preview" - then, "change
all"?
Now i am not quite sure what you mean.
In Finder, when i double-click a PDF it opens fine in Preview.
Also, in the info panel, Preview is set for the "open with" for all and any PDF.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

  • How to make Safari automatically open .ram sound clips?

    When I click on, say a a sound clip to preview music, Safari just downloads the file but does not automatically play it, so I have to click on the file for it to be played by RealPlayer instead of this happening automatically after the download. The "open "safe" files after downloading" box is checked in preferences.
    Using Safari 2.03 and RealPlayer 10.0.0 with Tiger

    Safari probably has Open Safe Files disabled in preferences as a security caution. Open Safari's Preferences and click on the General icon. Check Open Safe Files if you want Safari to open files automatically. However, if you do this, make sure you have installed the most recent updates using Software Update because the last security update fixed a couple of exploits related to malicious files.

    When I open a pdf, it used to open in Preview. Now my iMac requires Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview. How can I make my iMac open pdf in Preview again?

    If an image opens in a different application but you want it to always open in Preview when you double-click it, do this one time: Control-click the file, let go of the Control key, press the Option key, then choose Always Open With > Preview. Or, select the image file, choose Get Info from the File menu, then change the "Opens with:" pop-up menu choice to Preview.

  • Safari cannot open PDFs in Preview

    When I view a PDF in Safari and I choose the "Open PDF in Preview" icon it opens instead in Adobe Reader, not Preview. Control clicking gives the only option as "Open with Adobe Reader xx.x.x". I don't have the AdobePDFViewer.plugin, either at the root level or my user level of Library/Internet Plug-ins. So, how do I get a PDF to open in Preview when viewing it online in Safari?
    To be clear, I'm not talking about opening a PDF from the Finder.
    I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. Reader is at 10.1.3.

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
    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 (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    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.

  • Automatically open pdf with Preview

    I noticed that after upgrading to 10.5, pdf do not automatically open with Preview. I know that in 10.4, I was able to change this in Safari, but this option seems to have vanished in 10.5. Any help?

    Right click to "download" (save) the PDF files to your machine and then use Preview as the "Open With" app.

  • How to make safari window open up to my size pref

    Sorry about the long subject title. Everytime I open safari on my Apple computers the safari window will open up in a different size or place. How can I set it to open to my own default like preference so that it covers the screen when I open safari.
    Does that make sense?
    Thanks!

    Thanks alot for the quick response. However, my problem is that I do resize the window with the lower right drag every time I open safari. It doesn't seem to save the setting or something. If I stretch it out huge....next time I open, it will be tiny, (and hitting the green button doesn't fix it) or in a different possition.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

  • How to make Safari automatically enter ebay Password

    How do I get Safari to automatically put in my Ebay password. I am the only one who uses the computer and I would like to not have to enter it each day.

    HI,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Select: User names and passwords.
    Go to the eBay site. Login with your user name and password. Click Yes when prompted.
    That will store that data to a new keychain for you in Keychain Access (Applications / Utilities)
    When you revisit eBay, you shouldn't have to enter your username and password.
    If you forget your eBay password, just open the Keychain Access (Applications / Utilities) Select Passwords on the left. Double click the eBay keychain. Click Show Password

  • How to make Safari stop opening up with the last viewed page?

    If I quit safari with "google.com", and I open it up again, "google.com" shows up.
    how do i change the settings so that every time I open up safari, the homepage shows, not the last viewed page?

    Close the Safari window before you quit Safari.
    Or hold the shift key down when you launch Safari.

  • How to make safari re-open your tabs

    When I quit Safari is there a way for it to remember my tabs and re-open them when I run it again?  I tried changing the 'close windows when quitting an application" box in General Preferences, but it didn't affect Safari.  I also saw something about putting it in full-screen mode and quitting from there, but who uses Safari in full-screen mode?
    Thanks
    Bob

    Safari>History> reopen all windows for last session
    Safari in full screen mode and quiting, will not open back to full screen mode like some.
    I have Safari in full screen mode,  but it is not my main browser which is on the open desktop for screen real estate.

  • Make Safari open PDF in preview automatically, by default

    Is there any way I can make Safari open (download + view) PDF links in Preview?
    I know that Safari opens PDFs in its own viewer, and then I can use the semi-opaque 4-button toolbar at the bottom of the window (when the toolbar is visible) to Open PDF in Preview, but that's a fair bit of extra work from a UI perspective.
    I click the link to the PDF, and the PDF opens in a new Safari window. 
    I move the mouse to the bottom of the page, wait for the gray toolbar to appear, then click the Open PDF in Preview.
    (This is assuming the toolbar shows itself, which for some reason it has stopped doing on some PDFs.)
    Now I've got a Preview window with my document, plus the useless Safari PDF view, plus my original webpage.
    It's tedious and cumbersome.
    Yes I know I could option-click the PDF link to automatically download the file, but that doesn't automatically open the file after it is downloaded.  Either way I have to mess around to open the file as I'd like to.

    Right-click on the PDF document; select Get Info from the pop-up menu; in the lower half is a section labeled Open With. Select Preview from the choices listed, then click Change All... to make Preview the default appp for PDF documents.

  • In Lion, how do I force Safari to always download and open PDFs in Preview?

    Anyone know how to make this work?
    OS 10.7.1, Safari 5.1, i5 MBP

    Hi. Thank you for the tips. option-click on the download link does indeed download the PDF to the Downloads folder, but then I have to go open it in Preview myself.
    In 10.6, I had my Safari app prefs tweaked (using the defaults command in the terminal) that would make Safari download a PDF and hand it off to Preview for viewing automatically.
    Now, even if I do the same defaults write thing, PDFs still open in place in Safari.
    Did Apple remove this from Safari 5.x? Is it simply a bug that got introduced in 5.x?
