I can´t read pdfs in Safari
I can´t tell exactly when the problem started but I can´t open PDFs from my browser... Safari... any thoughts? I don´t know if it was since the last update of my OS...

How can i open pdf on safari with reader 11,0,07
i've got Imac with OSX 10,9,4 and adobe reader 11,0,07.
i can't read pdf on website.
i've got this error message :
Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement.
but i don't know where i can accept the licene and there is no support for reader 11.
if you have got a solution...Did you open Adobe Reader on it's own (not through the browser)? If not, you can find it in your applications folder where all your other programs live. Launch it and accept the EULA.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

Adobe 8.1.2 crashes PDF; Can't read PDF anymore Mac OS 10.4.11 PPC
Ever since Adobe 7 and Mac OS 10.4.9 I've been updating/installing and still crashes on PDF reads from within Browsers or Adobe itself.
I have an iMac 800 17" (Mac OS 10.4.11 with OS 9.2 PPC) recently maxed RAM 1Gb has backup eDrive by TechTool Pro.
-still...
Adobe 8.1.2 crashes PDF; Can't read PDF anymore, I usually Google and just "read in HTML" but then can't see pictures.
I've tried removing Adobe 7 preferences from all drives. (move to trash->delete) Acrobat 5 is on the OS 9.2 partition.
I'm not big with the Unix shell commands on Mac OS X, so don't know specific typey things ;-)
Any ideas???>graffiti - 8:09am May 25, 08 PST (#3 of 5)
>All that is is a reader. Not a replacement for Acrobat.
And it doesn't even work well with forms. Only allows the first page of a form to be filled out.
I reported the problem as a bug, and the designer say its an apple problem. Its not. where area set up to be filled out on pages other than first page, there is an indication it is a fill-out area (Grayed out when clicked on) it does not allow for forms to be filled out. So its not worth the effort to even test. -
How can I read pdf with ebook reader on JounE touch
How can I read pdf with ebook reader and where could I put the pdf in Journe

You said that you want to read pdf with ebook reader .
For me ,i usually read the pdf files using another pdf reader which supports to read the pdf files directly.
And i am now just using their free trial.
You can also have a try.

I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.
As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
Thank you. -
E61 using Blackberry connect can't read PDF email ...
Hi, I've a E61 that has Adobe 1.5 installed. I can easily read complex PDF files yet I can't read PDF email attachments that have been sent through Blackberry connect push email service. I need to get wireless faxes and have tried both efax and Myfax and can't read either. I get a blank page with ...page break... in the centre top. Strange thing is I can partially view the pdf document using the print preview and the zoom key. Any ideas?
I have nothing to base the following on except experience...
The application on the BlackBerry that handles attachments is the BlackBerry Attachment Service. This service communicates through your email's data connection, and doesn't necessarily display the actual contents of the attachment. In the case of a PDF file, the file is actually converted into a graphic and then sent to your device more like a JPEG rather than the actual document. You can view it, but it's an interpruted view, not the actual document.
You can save the actual PDF attachment in its original format, but then you need a third party PDF viewer to view it as there is no actual PDF viewer available on the device itself.
You can, of course, still attach it to another email.

I have adobe reader installed and can't read PDF files on web?
Hi Danny,
You will have to download the PDF files and then, open them through the Adobe Reader application. Are you doing that ? -
Can Yosemite read pdf files made in Snow Leopard?
can Yosemite read pdf files made in Snow Leopard?
Yup, restarted my system. First thing I did was open Firefox and try to open a .pdf.
There isn't an Acrobat icon in my system tray, and it's not showing up in my task manager, so is there another way of seeing if it's open? -
Downloaded Adobe Reader, now can't open PDFs in Safari
I was forced to download Adobe Reader to view and print something and then promptly deleted it. The app, the dmg, and the AdobePDFViewer.plugin from my library are now all gone. Nothing remains of them on my computer. Now, ever since that download, I get the screen below when I try to view a pdf in Safari.
I have searched all over the net, like I always do before bugging all of you, but still can't fix it.
1- I can't read it
2-What do I have to do to get pdfs to open in Safari like they did before I installed Reader?
Spec (Exact same as before Reader download):
Safari 6.1.1
OSX 10.8.5
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 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. -

Ive been having this issue forever
When I need to print a PDF file, I cannot do so from Safari. It just comes up blank pages.
If I go to another browser like Chrome, I have no problems.
Anyone know why or what I can do?
It seems Safari causes so many problems in addition to this one that I seem to have to use other browsers more and moreAlso, the little printing window that usually pops up on the dock when you print something and then quits itself after printing doesn't quit itself anymore. I have to actually select it and quit it myself. It's very annoying.

Can't save PDFs from Safari or Firefox after latest (10.1.3) update
I just installed the latest update, and now when I open a PDF in Safari, I can't save it to my computer. I get a message saying "The document XXX.pdf could not be exported as XXX." When I try to do it from Firefox, the PDF won't even open. I tried deleting the plugins and reinstalling Reader and that didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi mccradks1,
Regarding firefox, update it to version 10.0 or later and use it in 32-bit mode only.
To save pdf's in safari, please try using the save button in toolbar and see if it works.
Toolbar is present in two different forms:
1.
2. This toolbar appears when you hover the mouse at bottom of pdf screen.
Thanks,

Hi, I'm trying to read PDF's hosted on the web, but all I get when I click to open is a page full of characters and symbols. I know the PDF's themselves are fine as my colleage is able to view them on their machine.
I've tried viewing in Safari (I use a MackBook Pro), Chrome and FireFox, but still not able to view. I can however, view/read PDF's sent to me or are already on my laptop.
Any ideas?Hi,
I'm running the latest version of both so couldn't work out what the problem was. However, I did look around here and came across the following which solved the problem.
