Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4

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 into the text box that opens (command-V), 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.
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.
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.

  • Cannot read PDF files with safari

    Hello,
    I cannot read my online magasine with my iPad.
    When I open it as PDF with safari, I can read the first few pages but then it freezes and safari just shuts down. It's very frustrating!
    There was a similar post to this in the Mac section where they suggest deleting all cookies, history and cache. I tried that but it does not solve the problem.
    Any help welcome!

    It seems that the problem is due to safari crashing with memory overload.
    I am very disappointed with the iPad. It would seem it is nothing but an overpriced toy. It's supposed to be the most amazing thing ever for accessing the Internet and yet I can't even read an online magazine. Should have thought twice before buying it.

  • I cannot download .pdf files with the new version of Firefox

    Using Firefox 1.5, .pdf files automatically download to my desktop. With Firefox 3.6.13 a new tab/window opens and a box where the document should appear remains blank. When I attempt to 'right' click on the link, it doesn't allow me to download the linked file, only the linked address. I am able to open the .pdf files using another web browser such as Sarfari

  • Can't download PDF files with Safari

    When I try to download a PDF using Safari, it will save to my Desktop, but when I go to open it, I get the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired." If I try to use the Print command and save it as a PDF, I get nothing but a blank document.

    Patrick,
    The following article from TUAW may be of help: http://tinyurl.com/9tqn45d. It states that the problem may be caused by 'AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin' in the Internet Plugins folder. Deleting that plugin seems to fix the problem for many people.
    I don't have this problem even though I have the  'AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin' installed. Perhaps the reason I don't get the error message is because I use the Adobe PDF Viewer as my default plugin for viewing PDFs in Safari. In fact, if I remove the 'AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin', I can no longer see  PDFs in Safari, only download them.
    So, the error messages may exist only for users of Safari's built-in PDF-viewer. I find the Adobe Plugin has a few more tools than the built-in one. Using that one may be an alternate solution to this problem.

  • I cannot download .pdf files with 3.6.13, but I can with Internet Explorer

    I just installed 3.6.13, but had problem with 3.6.12. The screen turns black when the download "starts" and Done appears at the bottom of the screen. Running the Windows Task Manager shows only a less than 1 box spike. Sometimes the screen then goes white seconds later; sometimes it remains black until the screen is "clicked" (possibly has to do with the size of the download).

    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"

  • I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

    Does anyone have a solution for this???
    "I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

    Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
    Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
    Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

  • Cannot download .pdf files and word docs from KM using Web Dynpro

    Dear Portal Gurus,
    Using KM API, I am trying to download, documents from KM in my Web Dynpro Application. But .pdf files and word docs with screenshots are not getting retrieved from KM. Word docs opens with no content and Adobe opens with an error saying "Either it is a damaged file or It is not a supported file".
    I am using the following KM service to download the content.
    public byte[] retrieveResourceInBytes(String strRid){                    
    /////  after a few lines  ////
         if (this.loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
    // create a resource context with the authenticated user
         rContext = new ResourceContext(this.loggedOnUser);
    // create a RID to handle a resource
          aRid = RID.getRID(strRid);
              try {
              // get an instance of a resource factory
                     final IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
    // retrieve a folder/file  with context
                                                 aResource =  aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
         if(aResource.isCollection()) {
                                                                      aResource = (ICollection) aResource;
                                                      IPropertyMap objIPropertyMap = aResource.getProperties();               
                                                 IMutablePropertyMap objIMutablePropertyMap =objIPropertyMap.getMutable();
                                                 objHashMap = new HashMap();
         if (aResource != null) {
                                                                         IContent oldContent = aResource.getContent();
                            InputStream objInputStream=oldContent.getInputStream();
                 byte[] theBytes = new byte[objInputStream.available()];
                 objInputStream.read(theBytes);
                        return theBytes;
         } //  catches all the exceptions here///
    Could you please advise if I am doing something wrong else could you please advise me for any corrections which would help?
    Thanks a lot in advance,

    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 have had this issue for a while ago. Very disappoointed that Mozilla had not addressed this .
