I am unable to view PDF's online. must download first

I am unable to see PDF files on line.  When viewing a link that is a pdf I must download item first then open acrobat pro to view.  Any idea how I can fix it so I click and it automatically opens?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
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 launch Safari and test.
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.

    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.

  • Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

    Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2.  I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop.  She could not view the document through email.  Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list.  I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder.  I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
    Other notes:
    If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
    Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
    The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
    Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
    Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
    All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
    Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.

    You're on to something KJ!  Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro.  I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead.  I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't.  Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2: 
    When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
    I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
    (Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

  • Unable to view PDF files in Infoview

    I am unable to view pdf files in InfoView (Business Objects Edge Series XI 3.0)
    When I select the pdf file from Infoview, I receive the message 'Do you want to save this file' which only allows me to save the document to a location on my computer.
    Other users can view the file in Infoview, so it probably relates to a setting on my computer.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I've had a little look on Adobe's knowledge base; try this to check whether the issue is related with opening PDF in your browser in general:
    "Determine if the web browser can open the PDF file from your local hard drive rather than from the web:
    In the web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
    Choose All Files from the Files Of Type pop-up menu (Windows)
    Click Browse
    Select the PDF file you saved in step 1 of task 5, and then click Open to open the PDF file. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file, but won't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file."
    If so, try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here:

  • Unable to view pdf files in IE 11.

    Unable to view PDF files in IE 11, Winows 7. Works fine in Google Chrome on same pc. Everything is up todate.

    See the solution at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
    However, that Fix-it won't work on Windows 7; you will need to make the registry change manually.  Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script to change that registry value.

    Sorry, this is a user to user forum and we're just customers who help out when we can, so things don't always happen right away.
    Reader, Regardless of OS or device, is as the name implies, only a Reader.  There are different mail settings between Mac Mail Outlook and Thunderbird as well as Andsroid's mail app, whose name escpoaes me.
    Have you checked in the Live Cycle Forum? There are people there with FAR more experience using LC developed forms. It's part of my Creative Suite, but I've never even opened it myself.

  • Unable to view PDF (baggage file) in CHM

    Hi,
    I have recently started using a new desktop pc running Windows 7. I am now unable to view PDF files (added as baggage files in RoboHelp) in the CHMs generated by RoboHelp. Even existing CHMs (generated before switching desktops) have this problem. Has anyone experienced the same problem and managed to solve it?
    Sofie

    A while back someone told me they had a similar problem with IE8 and advised they fixed as below:
    "After fiddling around with some settings, I found that if you go to Settings/Safety and enable Active X Filtering, the embedded files open normally."
    That will only fix it on your machine though. Do these CHMs work on other machines OK?

  • Unable to view PDFs from the Safari browser.

    I am using Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader 10.1.0, running on OS 10.6.8.  Until recently I had no problem but am now unable to view PDFs from websites.  What I get is a totally black document.  I can create PDF files which I can also open outside of the internet.  Any ideas?? 

    There seems to be an issue with Adobes plugin and Safari 5, your options are:
    Wait for it to be updated.
    Uninstall the plugin nd let Quicktime handle it.
    Install Schuberts PDF plugin from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/

  • Unable view PDF files that I download

    I am unable to view PDF file in Adobe Reader.  I have a pop-up that states "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser".  I have no idea where to accept the agreement, because it hasn't asked me to, and I have updated it.  Any suggestions??

    Do exactly what the message says: open the Adobe Reader application (not in the browser!), then accept the EULA.

  • Viewing PDF files online

    I recently tried to view a file online that is a pdf file but I instead viewed a window that said Unknown File Type. I have Adobe Professional installed but do I also need Adobe Reader to view PDF file online?

    Just to update, i have a better way to view PDF as HTML on any phone browser. It does not need any installation!
    Online version of iReader works on any phone that comes with a web browser such as iPhone, Nokia or PocketPC. Conveniently, reading can be done offline as it automatically save on your phone! It will automatic bookmark upon exit too. To use iReader, go to

  • Reader X issues Viewing PDF's with IE downloads turned off

    First off, Our company has a policy that Internet downloads are turned off through GP for IE. We recently upgraded from Adobe 6.06 (had active x control to view PDF's online) to adobe X. We are looking for a way to view PDF's through the IE 8 browser with file Downloads disabled. When trying to view a PDF on the Web, we get "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded". Previously, the active x control in reader 6.x allowed viewing PDF's on the web. Is there any way to allow this in adobe X? can code be written to alleviate this? Is there a solution? HELP anyone please. It's driving me NUTTY!!

    Cyberdawg,
    Try to turn off anything that enhances speeds his video through the video driver. That is most likely the problem..
