How to view aspx PDF files in Safari 4.0.3

Hi,
Using Safari 4.0.3 on os 10.5.8. I'm trying to view PDF files that are supposed to be viewed and editable within the browser (this is how the site works on a pc using internet explorer). When I click the relevant icon on the site, the site asks me if I'm sure I want to view that file (this is normal), and I click accept. Then Safari simply downloads the aspx file into the downloads folder. To the extent I could open the aspx manually using Reader (I can't), it wouldn't help anyway because the file is meant to be edited within a web browser, and within the pdf there are options to "save," "save and close," etc. I need to be able to open and view this file from within Safari.
I have the latest Adobe reader and made sure the settings allowed for opening of PDFs from the internet.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I concur with Kirk Olson1's comment above, and have been unable to solve this 'til reading this post.
Change the .aspx extension of a saved file to .pdf and presto, Preview opens the doc for reading without complaint. This may not solve the problem the user has with editing the file within their browser. But the .aspx file, without a doubt, is in fact a file of "some" sort that is readable by Preview. As to the properties of editing the file, I can't speak to that. Since I am using this to read and save my bank statement, I would hope that the ASPX file is a signed document that can't be edited without the change being detectable... otherwise, what purpose is served by introducing a new filename extension ASPX for PDF files???
I've had the same "Browser can't view/open ASPX file" problem under Mac OS 10.5.* and Safari and Firefox. A bank provides me with "PDF" files (so they say) that download (to view, or file-save-as) with the .aspx filename extension. Firefox 3.5.* doesn't handle them. I've not downloaded Adobe products to my Mac and have avoided doing so because I don't want Adobe mucking with the way Preview works, etc.
In an experiment, I am unable to coerce Preview to open a copy of the same file while it had the .aspx extension (via Ctrl-Click the aspx file, Open_With, Enable All Applications to Open). Preview just sits there without opening the file, no error dialog, and I don't see any telltale warnings in the console log either. The same file, with a filename extension changed, no problem opening and viewing.

    Hey, i was wondering if anyone knew how to view a PDF file in Java? I'm trying to make a button that will open a PDF file. Is there any other way without downloading an extension?

    The thing with downloading extensions is that they are not free. Some are trial version. iText and Jasper are probably free and stable to a great extent. Plus they allow you to play with PDFs, Excel, Bar charts, Pie charts, CSV etc etc without the hassles of the heavyweight Swing.

  • I am not able to view some PDF files in Safari

    When I try to view a link to a PDF file using Safari in Mavericks I am told to open Adobe Acrobat.  I do not have that and do not want to buy it.  If I use Firefox I can view the PDF.
    Here is an example of the message I get from Safari:

    You need to launch the Adobe Reader app from your Applications folder and accept the license agreement.
    The message is generic and refers to Acrobat or Reader as "Acrobat".
    You don't see that with Firefox because it has its own PDFJSViewer built in.

    Switch to Finder, then use the Go menu - Go to Folder command & paste in the text, clicking Go afterwards.
    A Finder window should open, showing various plug-in files. Trash any that are for Adobe or PDF. You'll be asked for an admin name & password.

  • How can I open .pdf files in Safari 5.1 ?

    The Problem:
    After loading OSX 10.7.1, whenever I try to open a .pdf file from a website using Safari 5.1, I get a blank gray/black screen with the Quicktime  Q symbol in the middle.
    Notes:
    I downloaded and set my preference to use Adobe Reader version 10.1.1 on all .pdf files.  
    I am able to successfully open .pdf files, with Adobe Reader, which are on already on my hard drive.
    I am also able to successfully open .pdf files, with Adobe Reader, which are sent to me via email.
    Only the Safari website .pdf files are unopenable.
    Help is appreciated.

  • How do I download PDF files from Safari 5.0.5?

    I am unable to open PDF files. All I get is a blank black screen. I now download PDFs into my computer from the internet (with mixed success), which is several steps more than has ever taken me in the past.
    Since finding this problem I have updated the Adobe Reader and run system updates today, to no avail.
    Adobe reports that there is a compatibility issue between Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader. They offer several solutions none of which has worked for me.
    (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/safari-5-1-incompatible-reader.html). Is updating Safari going to help me, or are there other solutions?

    Hi..
    Go to    HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash..
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If you have trouble finding that file..
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go

  • How to view a pdf file as a slideshow in iDVD

    I have created a document in PAGES that I have saved as a pdf file. I would like to have this as a chapter in a family movie that I want to burn as a DVD.
    I have done this before but cannot remember how.! I think I went through iPhoto and iMovie and ended up in iDVD but cannot find the right sequence of commands

    I often forget this procedure when it's time to do this also. Sure would be nice if apple added an article to their knowledge base on how to do this (as opposed to having to sort thru dozens of posts to find this info). Anyway, glad you are up and running with this.

    Hi to all,

  • How do i open pdf files in safari

    I am so frustrated.  I've been trying to open a PDF in Safari and it opens (almost all the way) and then stops.  It's about 80% open.  What is preventing it from opening all the way?  I've tried removing the PDF plugins from the library.  Nothing works.  It just stops.  Any advice or good direction would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
    THANK YOU!

    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 PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer 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.
