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 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”.

  • Adobe reader Form PDF renderered in Internet Explorer not being read by JAWS

    Hello,
    I'm checking the accessibility of my web application in case of XFA forms generated from Lifecycle Server ES. The standalone version of the PDF forms gets easily read by JAWS but when the same PDF is embedded in a web application JAWS does not read at at all. A sample which is not being in a web application is

    If you want to open the PDF in the browser you have to explicitely set the content type to "application/pdf", if you use "application/octet-stream" you'll always get the download box and when you choose to open from this box the reader will be used because the reader is configured to open PDF documents in the windows filetypes settings.

  • I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use Firefox.

    I use Safari as my browser. When on a site and I click on a PDF file I get a black screen and a notice that "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". However, this does not happen if I use 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 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 (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 3 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.

  • Adobe Reader Blocked in Safari

    It's been a while, but ever since I upadated to Safari 7.0.1 (or maybe even the version earlier), I've been unable to open any PDF documents inside of Safari. When I click on a link on Google linked to a PDF document, a grey page shows up with the message "Adobe Reader blocked for this website" I tried clicking the message and a panel dropped down asking me whether I trust the website or not. But even after I clicked Trust and the page reloaded it self the PDF still doesn't show up.
    Anyoen know how to get around this? I know Apple got rid of native support for many web applications because of security threat but there should be a way to put it back in right?
    Thanks,

    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Adobe reader blocked for this site

    Since the transfer to OSX Mavericks it happens rather frequent that at opening a site page I get the message "adobe reader blocked for this site". I do not know if the installation of Adobe reader is required by Mavericks. I thought it is by default that Preview should take care of this. Or???????
    So once I installed Adobe reader and found out that Adobe is the new default. I do not want that, so I eliminated Adobe reader.
    Any suggestion on what is going on would be appreciated.

    OK, found out how to restore Preview to be the default for opening PDF files. However, Safari 7.0 still refuses to use Preview as the default to open pages  that require a PDF reader. Anyone knows how to tackle this?

  • Adobe Reader blocked on Maverick---Help!

    When I try to open PDF's from a website, it says: Adobe Reader blocked. I just switched to Maverick and adobe reader worked fine before I made the switch---anyone know how to fix this? Please let me know.
    Thank you.

    I have Adobe Reader version 11.0.04. Preview always works to show PDFs. My problem is they aren't showing up in my browser, so I can't get to download them to view them in preview. I have to look up research articles and the only way to get them first is through the browser, but AR won't let me read them. Just getting a black screen when I try to open a link for PDF's in safari. I did not get any message about it being an unsigned developer, only that Adobe reader is blocked. Any other ideas? ... I looked at the thread below and downloaded Adobe Flash viewer version 12 but that hasn't changed a thing.
    Computer blues.

  • Message: "Adobe Reader blocked for this website"

    When I try to open a pdf file a message appears "Adobe Reader blocked for this website". i then click the little arrow and another window pops up and it reads: "Do you want to trus the website www.........com to use the Adobe Reader plug in? And when I click "Trust" I can then move on to my PDF Download. This was never an issue before and wonder how I can rectify this? Does it have something to do with a 'plug in'?

    What browser?  On what OS?

  • Need to reopen Adobe Reader every time I restart Safari

    When I download a PDF in Safari, I get a dialogue box asking me which program I want to use to to read it. I then find my Adobe Reader program and select that, and things go just fine.
    The next time I download a PDF *if I have not closed Safari*, thinks go just fine.
    But, if I've exited Safari and later reopened it, I have to go through the same steps each time to read a PDF online in Safari. Open Adobe Reader.
    On my other (actually older) Mac I don't have to do this every time. Safari "knows" to use Reader. How due I set that up here? Thank you.

    From what you originally described, the problem is symptomatic of having removed the main Adobe application while still leaving the Adobe browser plugin in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/'. Perhaps trashing the plugin from said folder and then reinstalling the software would rectify the issue.
    Have you tried trashing Adobe Reader's preference list (.plist), located in '~/Library/Preferences/' or creating a test user account (System Preferences > Accounts > [+]) to investigate the problem further?

  • I can no longer type in unlimited information on my adobe reader in pdf. At one time this was an option, it would give you an icon that would allow you to type in more information. This is no longer an option. What happen?

    I can no longer type in unlimited information on my adobe reader in pdf. At one time this was an option, it would give you an icon that would allow you to type in more information. What happen?

    That is not an option of Adobe Reader, but the way a PDF is created.

  • When I read a pdf document using Safari I'm unable to read more than one page of a file. A padlock icon is locked on the tab. Please help.

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

  • Adobe Reader 7でセキュリティ設定したPDFを開けない

    Adobe Reader 7でセキュリティ設定したPDFを開くと次のエラーが発生するという事象が起こっています。
    埋め込みフォント「OONPKP+MS-Pgothic」を抽出できません。一部の文字を正しく表示できない場合や、印刷できない場合があります。
    対象のPDFはExcel97-2003形式のXLSファイルをPDF変換した後パスワードをかけてセキュリティ設定したもので、以下のプロパティになっています。
    アプリケーション：PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2
    PDF変換：Acrobat Distiller 10.0.0.0(Windows)
    PDFのバージョン：1.6(Acrobat 7.x)
    ファイルサイズ：829.29KB
    ページサイズ：210X297mm
    ページ数：8
    タグ付きPDF：いいえ
    Web表示用に最適化：いいえ
    このPDFは毎月作成していますが、先月作成したPDFは問題なくAdobe Reader 7で開けます。
    また、今月作成したPDFでもセキュリティが設定される前のPDFは問題なくAdobe Reader 7で開けます。
    セキュリティ設定のオペレーションには先月と変更はありません。
    Excelで使用しているフォントは「ＭＳ Ｐゴシック」「ＭＳ Ｐ明朝」のみです。
    以下に分かっている事象をまとめます。
    ・セキュリティ設定したPDFをAdobe Reader 7で開くとエラーになる場合がある
    ・セキュリティ設定していないPDFをAdobe Reader 7で開くと正常に表示
    ・複数のPDFにセキュリティを設定すると正常に表示できるものとエラーになるものが混在する
    ・Adobe Reader 7でエラーになるPDFをAdobe Reader 10で開くと正常に表示
    Q、埋め込みフォント「OONPKP」とは何を指しているのでしょうか？
    Q、同じオペレーションのセキュリティ設定で、どのような違いが起こるのでしょうか？（日時、ファイル名に依存するなど）
    Q、対象PDFをAdobe Reader 7で正常に表示する方法はあるのでしょうか？
    Q、PDF作成後にAdobe Reader 7でエラーが起こるかどうかを事前に確認する方法はあるのでしょうか？
    以上、よろしくお願いいたします。

    毎月PDFの作成に使用しているXLSファイル以外のファイルを同じ設定でPDF化した場合には問題は発生しますか？
    新規に作成したファイルや、他の業務で使用しているXLSファイルなど、いくつか試してみてください。
    ほとんど何も入力していないファイルでも発生する場合はAcrobatやExcel のプログラム内部（もしくは設定等）が破損している可能性があります。
    AcrobatとExcel（およびOS）にはアップデータを適用して最新版が適用されているかを確認してください。
    最新版にも関わらずエラーが発生する場合は初期設定のリセット（再設定）やプログラムの再インストールなどが必要 かもしれません。
    逆に他のファイルではエラーが発生せず、当該ファイルのみで発生するのであればファイル内部に問題がある可能性が高いです。
    複数のページに別れているのであれば1ページずつ書き出して、エラーが発生するページを特定します。
    その後、そのページ内のデータでエラーが発生する箇所を探します。
    （データを1ヶ所ずつ削除していって、エラーが出なくなったところが原因と考えられます）
    他の対応策として…
    　・PDFを書き出してからAcrobat上（Adobe Readerではできません）でセキュリティの設定を行う方法を試す
    　・PDFの書き出し設定を確認する→書き出し時にPDFのバージョン（＝開けるReaderのバージョン）を指定する箇所があります
    といったことも考えられます。
    また、使用しているフォントがMSゴシックやMS明朝のみで、PDFを開くパソコンもWindwosであればフォントを埋め込まずにPDFを作成する、という方法もあります。
    （セキュリティを設定している場合にはフォントの埋め込みは必須かもしれません。ここは未確認です）
