How to open PDF files in Safari

How does one open PDF files when using Safari

Typically, you click on a link to a pdf file, and they open. If for some reason that's not working, you can right click on the link and download the file, then it should open in Preview, or Adobe Reader if you've installed that.
What exactly are you trying to open, and what's happening when you try it?

How to open pdf files in browser using flex

hi,
my project is having a Document explorer wchich contains pdf
files,iwant to open it in the browser.can any one tell me how to
open pdf documents using flex programming(i tried with different
thing like swf's but my client wants only pdf formatt).

Another option is by calling a JSP page. This example will
open a pdf file into a new browser without displaying the download
"save" prompt.
Function to call the JSP:
private function downloadFlyer(event:Event):void {
var jspLink:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("jsp/downloadpdf.jsp?fileName=Fundraiser_flyer_2008.pdf");
navigateToURL( jspLink, "_blank" );
JSP code:
<%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
//Get the parameters
String downloadFileName=request.getParameter("fileName");
String fileName = application.getRealPath("/downloads/" +
downloadFileName);
File file = new File(fileName);
if (!file.exists()) {
throw new IOException("File does not exist.");
// Get the size of the file
long length = file.length();
// You cannot create an array using a long type.
// It needs to be an int type.
// Before converting to an int type, check
// to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
throw new IOException("File too big.");
response.reset();
response.resetBuffer();
response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "filename=" +
downloadFileName);
//Prevent the Java error: "getOutputStream() has already
been called for this response"
out.clear();
out = pageContext.pushBody();
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
try {
int curByte=-1;
while( (curByte=in.read()) !=-1){
output.write(curByte);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace(System.out);
} finally{
output.flush();
in.close();
response.flushBuffer();
%>

Could not open PDF Files with Safari using Lion - Solution

Two for one solution:
After installing Lion on my Macbook Pro, I could not open PDF files on line via Safari and iPhoto 11 kept crashing.
Well, the solution for bothy problems was to remove the "3ivx" file.
The easiest way to do so is go to Applications > 3ivx folder > run Remove 3ivx app.
OR:
Finder > Library folder > Application Support folder > drag "3ivx" folder to trash and trash.

Does Safari - Help - Installed Plug-ins show anything for pdf other than WebKit built-in PDF ?

Scrolling through PDF files is slow using Adobe Reader on MY MACBOOK pro with retina

Scrolling through PDF file using Adobe reader on my MACBOOK pro is very slow and stuters. That is even for small files. MAC preview and Adobe pro do not have this issue. It is only Adobe ready.
Please advice.

Summarizing the problem specifics and versions for future readers:
There are two separate "slow scrolling" bugs in recent versions of Adobe Reader on Mac OS X. Symptoms: scrolling by mouse or fn + down arrow is very sluggish and laggy. It is not isolated to large or graphically complex documents. This 2 megabyte PDF shows illustrates the problem: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/nasa-tnd-6846pt.1.pdf
Problem 1: Adobe plug-in for Safari causes slow scrolling when viewing PDF documents within Safari. Solution: remove Adobe plugins from Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. I also deleted AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. This will cause PDF display within Safari to revert to the built-in Apple PDF renderer, which is very fast. These files will be re-installed anytime you install or upgrade Adobe Reader.
Problem 2: Stand-alone Adobe Reader scrolling is slow starting with version 11.0.01. Version 10.1.4 and earlier are not slow. User CF McBlob did not experience this slowdown, but was also running Acrobat 10.1.7, which might have libraries which prevented the problem. I'll do further testing when possible to try and isolate more details.
Platform specifics: OS X 10.8.4, late 2012 iMac 27", i7 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 3TB Fusion drive, GPU = GTX675MX, 1GB

I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
605124.pdf.html
Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
Use this link to download it automatically:

Can't open PDF files in safari

I have a problem opening PDF files in safari
50% of the time I get a error message:
"could not launch acrobat." then safari quits,
and the other 50% of the time:
it safari does noting for about half a minute and then quits,
it's not a problem with acrobat, because it does work in Fx and Chrome
anyone knows what's wrong and, especially, how to solve it?

There's a couple things you can try to view pdf files in Safari.
Install Acrobat Reader 9 and it will ask if you Acrobat Reader to view pdf's. Close Safari, check yes and re-open. If AR9 is already installed, go to prefs/internet and and check yes in the box for 'display pdf in browser using......'.
Alternatively, if Acrobat is opening the pdf file in Safari, and you don't like it (which I didn't), go HD/library/internet plugins and throw away the 'AdobePDFviewer' plugin, and restart Safari. I believe the Quicktime plugin then handles the pdf.
You may also need to check the mime types in Quicktime. Open System Preferences/Quicktime/Advanced and open the Mime Settings button. Scroll to 'images' and check the box for pdf's.
Hope this helps.

cannot open PDF files in safari. It tells me first character is invalid - I have deleted plug-ins and reinstalled the program.

HI..
If you are using Adobe Reader ...
Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then reinstall > http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

I can not open PDF files in safari

I can not open PDF files in safari. How can I fix this problem?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
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 launch Safari and test.
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 no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02.

SAFARI CAN'T OPEN PDF'S ?
I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02. It worked fine up until 2 weeks ago. The pdf's open in Foxfire and Chrome browsers.
I can also download the pdf and open in acrobat directly. Safari only shows the file as ASCII characters.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
GerryG860

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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, 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.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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.

Hi, I haven't been able to open pdf files in Safari - each time I click on a pdf link, a new tab opend and then a pop-up window says "can't open Adobe" (or something like that), and then Safari crashes. I've read that the solution is to install Adobe Reader 8, but I can't because I already have Adobe Acrobat which doesn't seem to work with safari. Does anyone know a way to view pdf files in Safari for windows?

Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

HT5313 I cannot download & open pdf files on Safari but can do so on Google Chrome browser?

After upgrading to Lion 10.7.4 , I cannot open pdf files on Safari 5.1.7 but can do so on Google chrome browser? I get a message that the file cannot be exported?

look in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and remove any with 'pdf' in the name, then restart safari.
failing that - check in the same folder within your user 'home' Library
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
in either case, you can triple-click the names above to select, then ctrl-click & choose Services - Open which should open a new Finder window showing the folder

Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.
