How to stop Adobe Reader opening pdf's in Safari

I've checked all the forums for this problem and have tried all the solutions, however none work for me.
I've deleted Adobe Reader and used a program call CleanMyMac to get rid of all files, so no plug-in's, nothing left of Adobe Reader. Yet, I cannot open pdf's in Safari as it still wants to use Adobe Reader.
I've right clicked other pdf's in my documents and have checked that they are opening with my default program, which is Evernote. The option to 'change all'  is greyed out.
What else can I do, other than stop using Safari?

Adobe Reader installed?  If so remove Reader.
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click those and select “Move To Trash”.
Remove CleanMyMac

  • How to use Adobe Reader, open pdfs with OS X 10.6.7?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro. When I try to download Adobe Reacer or open PDFs, I get messages that say this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader. I use PDFs all the time.  How do I get around this?

    I am not being allowed to downoad/install Adobe Reader or open PDFs.  When I try to do either one, I get a message that this type of Mac doesn't support Adobe Reader.  I just talked to Apple Care. They told me how to open PDFs with another application andd referred me to Adobe for installation questions.  Thanks.

  • Adobe reader opening pdf within O365 Sharepoint

    Here is my issue. We used to have SBS sharepoint and migrated to O365, since then here is the issue.
    When we go to our sharepoint site alias.sharepoint.com we cna login and within the browser we can open Adobe files file with reader.
    If we go to Library>Open with Explorer this is where issue are. Sometime it will open the pdf and other times it won't.
    We have reset IE, reinstalled Adobe reader, etc...
    I recently installed Foxit reader and all is fixed and working for time being, BUT my client wants to use Adobe so I was wondering does Adobe FULLY support opening pdf files in the Sharepoint>Explorer view or do i need an update we are on v11 and fully updated with all the publically released updates.

    I have an update. I called Adobe to get this confirmed.
    If you have Office 365, Sharepoint 2013 running on O365 then I am told Adobe Reader 11 is not compatible when opening a Sharepoint in this way. (Library>Open In Explorer) they didn't say but I assume and hope Adobe Reader 12 would fix.
    Here is the workaround, installed FoxIt pdf reader and it will open the files fine for viewing.

  • How to stop Adobe Reader jumping through pages?

    In two of my computers, Adobe Acrobat Reader (newest version) has this kind of bug: when I open some document, and scroll to some page, then switch tabs (if in browser) or alt-tab to another program, and after some time switch back to Reader, it "forgets" which page I was in, and displays random page, like it scrolls automatically to random place. Tried re-installing, different browsers, different documents, still this problem. If I don't alt-tab, everything is ok. Just when I switch focus to other program, and back again to Adobe Reader, document is scrolled somewhere else than where I left it. Sometimes Reader scrolls to another part of the page I red before, sometimes it jumps 2-3 pages forward. Why is this happening?

    Can you please do the following in Reader:
    Click Edit, Preferences.
    Choose Documents.
    Check the box marked, Restore last view settings when reopening documents.
    This should do the trick.

  • How to set Adobe Reader as the default in Safari 6

    When running 10.6, Safari defaulted to Adobe Reader to open documents not otherwise specified by an extension (e.g., docx).  However, in 10.8 w/ 6.0 the default reader appears to be TextEdit - which returns garbage from my financial instituitions.  I can download the file and then open with AR but how do I set 6.0 to default to AR rather than TextEdit?  I am not given the option to select the program to open with by right/option clicking the file link and I am not sure I want to make AR the default for all .txt files.....

    The plug-in is there - but the default still is textedit..... looking at Adobe's site they had some issues in the past with Lion and Safari 5.1 earlier this year..... maybe a solution is forthcoming from that corner?  However, that was tied to Rosetta sooo.......  I'll cogitate some more but any other ideas are welcome.....  Thanks for your help this evening.....

  • Why will Adobe not open pdf files in safari?

    In Safari, certain websites show documents as Adbobe PDFs, but Safari won't allow them to open. This issue does not occur in Chrome or Firefox.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application 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.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    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 by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 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.

  • HT6065 Adobe Reader blocks PDF rendering in Safari

    Adobe Reader [plugin] blocks PDF rendering in Safari. Error Message tells user to start Adobe Reader and accept the EULA, then restart Safari. 
    MBP 15.4" Mid 2012 Retina 8GB DDR3 1600 Mhz Ram Running 10.9.1 (build 13842).  I have AR installed--not sure where the EULA is... Help is no help...
    Seems to happen with some sites that use web forms.
    Any ideas?

    Forgot to add--PDF forms from websites pull up fine in FireFox 27.0.1 and Chrome 32.0.1700.77.  So, it appears to be a Safari issue... Or perhaps an issue with a plug-in or extension...? 

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
    From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
    Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:
    Application Error

    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

  • Stop firefox from asking to use adobe reader for pdf's.

    I have already set Firefox to use the adobe reader for pdf's. It still asks what program to use to open pdf's. Is there another setting I'm missing? IE doesn't do this. I prefer to use Firefox. It would be great to remove this nuisance.

  • Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
