How to open PDF using safari 5.1

Please help. My internet browser (safari 5.xx) used to be able to open PDF files using the preview program. After I updated to Safari 5.1 it does not open it anymore in a safary window, instead every single pdf file gets downloaded. I tried the genreal fix of removing the adobe plug-in from the Mac HD -> Library -> internet plug ins file but it did not help. I would need Acrobat reader on my computer but I would like to use the preview program to view PDF files on-line. Please help  (It is a huge pain to delete every single PDF after I looked at it...)
Under the USer -> Library-> internet plug ins folder there is nothing it appears empty.
So any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just to add to the annoyment. After trashing the Adobe reader 10.1 version and hoping that now everything went back to the original working order -- wrong. Now when I click on a PDF document, which used to open up till now in a new window, is simply getting downloaded and the new wndow remains blank... Maddening.
Please sombody help.
thanks

  • How to open PDFs in Safari 8.0

    Been frustrated for a couple days now. Up until mid last week, I've been able to open PDFs inside the safari browser no problem.  I think this ended up changing in the latest Yosemite update.  Opening PDFs inside the safari window, not in a different tab is particularly crucial for my job, I use an agent webportal that requires PDFs to be filled out inside the browser window and submitted as such.
    I've had this happen a few times, usually it was fixed by deleting the adobe plugins in the internet plugins folder and/or simply resetting the safari browser back to default. What I've tried so far:
    uninstalling/reinstalling both reader and acrobat multiple times.
    deleting the plugins from the internet folder multiple times.
    tried switching up the default pdf view app, no change.
    tried as best as i could find to reset the settings on safari, but inside yosemite there appears to not be a reset option to bring it back to default.
    Honestly I'm at my wits end here with this thing. I've been using VMWare and windows 7 to complete the stuff I can't do in safari on IE.
    Is there something I haven't tried and/or does anyone know how to fully reset safari back to default in yosemite?

    You don't without using custom css sheets. The web site developers specify the fonts to be used.

  • 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();
    %>

  • How To Open PDF Attached file use CLIENT_HOST 11 g forms

    How to open pdf file on client side at 11 g forms ?
    when i open any attached (PDF )file on client side is not open those file open on server side plz guide me how to  open those file on client machine using client host?
    thanks

    Where is the pdf you are trying to open? Is it on the server or the client? If the file is stored on the server then you can access it using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT assuming it is stored in a place that has a virtual mapping. For example:
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://server/someLocation/file.pdf','_blank');If the file is on the client then you need to configure your application to use WebUtil. Then you can do what Francois suggested.

  • How to open -pdf in a secure environment

    Opening PDF files from a secured account on Internet (e.g. telephone billing info) does not work. in Safe as the file is shown as _pdf (underscore instead of dot).  We suspect this problem started after installing CS6, but are not sure. Win 7, IE 9, Reader XI

    PDF on a regular website can be opened and downloaded. However, PDF on a secure website (https) looks normal with normal icon but double click gives screen for open / save / save as. ‘Open’ gives no result, no error message either. ‘Save’ or ‘save as’ shows screen with filename ending on _pdf, which cannot be opened or saved, no error messages either. Changing the filename into .pdf gives the same reaction: nothing happens, no error messages.
    The same files can be opened on a different PC win7, IE9, Reader XI and similar software, but without CS6.

    Unfortunatly, most of the PDF questions I have seen recently aren't simply "How do I launch another application in Windows"
    Edit: What Jeff and Dennis were getting at in their own way is that you can easily launch adobe reader to display a pdf if that is your only goal.  See: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/68A6F2A00872837E862576940059C142
    I am also quite certain you could find an ActiveX object that would just display PDFs as well.

  • TS3276 Someone who receives my mail sent from Apple Mail cannot receive attachments or read my email even though they are on a Mac using Safari.  How could they be using Safari to receive or read my mail?

    Someone who receives my mail sent from Apple Mail cannot receive attachments or read my email even though they are on a Mac using Safari.  How could they be using Safari to receive or read my mail? 

    You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.  This person receiving my email,  while on a Mac with Safari is reading their mail through Safari using Horde--our recent discovery.  Why they chose to do that in unclear. The last email we sent, however, was miraculously read and received and  the attachment was viewed with no problem after we told them our mail was coming from a Mac thriugh Apple Mail.  It seems that telling them that our emails were coming from a Mac and using Apple Mail was enough to make them think that perhaps THEY were doing something not quite right. Thank you both, Level 7 and Level 5. 
    But thank you especially for the meteorologists in the UK for putting forth the correct routes for Sandy these last days, you probably saved a lot of lives.

  • How to NOT open pdfs in Safari window.

    Hi,
    How can I set Safari to download pdfs and not have them automatically open within Safari windows.
    Yes, I  know that I can right click and save... but one does not always know that a link is a pdf in the first place.
    I have just got a new iMac two days ago and In the past, on my previous iMac,  I was able to open Terminal and type:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES .... hit return, quit Terminal and restart Safari.
    But I tried that  - and still pdfs display in Safari's window..... maybe it is because I was running a slightly older version of Safari on  my last Mac.... currently I am using Safari 5.1
    I have search this forum and others but  after many hours, I cannot find  the answer..... anyone any ideas?
    Regards
    Derro

    Thanks for that and yes I am aware of  that option, however  that is very inconvenient and means  that one has to look at the Status bar EVERY time before you click on a link in oorder to determine if it is a link or a pdf..... alll very very  tiresome indeed.
    What one is looking for is that links will just open as expected and that if, IF , it happens to be a pdf link, that it will download it to the desktop ( or elsewhere) and then open itself in Preview....
    Any other ideas....
