IE 7 not displaying PDF files

WinXP SP3 desktop
Installed: Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat 6.0 Professional
Up until recently, when an update from MS and adobe were installed, Internet Explorer 7 has been displaying PDF files when clicking on a link to the document. I do not know which company is at fault for compatibility here, but I would prefer to have IE7 read/save PDF docs. As it is now, an window pops up (no error number) saying "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again." I click the OK button then Acrobat 6.0 Pro loads and with no document showing. Simply turns on. I open any PDF file manually using either Reader 9 or Pro 6, but IE7 will only come up with above msg.
Corrective actions attempted were:
1) Reinstall Reader 9 on top of itself.
2) In Pro 6, Edit | Preferences | Internet and deselected "Display PDF in browser, restarted program, went back to re-select it, restarted program.
I did notice a new process running named: wisptis.exe
The error message above sounds more like to me that the Pro is assigned the job to read downloaded PDF files, but with the Web Browser Option set to "Display PDF in browswer", I do not know why IE7 is not reading them.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Launch Safari. See if that made a difference.
Also, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Make sure it's not an Extension preventing PDF's from rendering.

Does anyone know why after upgrading to Mavericks, Safari will not display PDF files, is there a solution?

I cannot get Safari to display PDF files, it shows a blank screen with the comment that Safri has blocked PDF, however when you unblock it still does not show the PDF, I have had to rely on Firefox for this, which I find not too good. Any help very much appreciated.

Safari 6 does not display pdf files!

No matter what website I go to if I need to display a pdf file especially on government sites which I deal with a lot being a paralized vet. I have to tell you I am disappointed with the last couple vers. of Safari. Half the time auto fill doesn't work. Many times i'll just type the name of the address and in past versions of Safari it would fill in the other stuff, www., .com, etc. Well not any more. I've switched to making Google Chrome since it displays pdf's. Apple, you cn do better than this!!! O, by the way I've been using Apple products since the iic, and I've been using the internet from it's beginnings.This is the first time I"ve had any complaint about Safari up until now it's been my browser of choice.

Disaiiusioned

David...
All browsers require some maintenance at one time or another, or troubleshooting whether it's Safari, or Chrome, Firefox.. etc. I've yet to have any issues with Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.
For the PDF issue...
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 then move the AdobePDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
For autofill. Try troubleshtooting the Safari.plist (preferences)
Back to the Finder. Go > Go to Folder.
Type this: ~/LIbrary/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go the move the Safari .plist file to the Desktop. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that that helped the autofill issue, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't work, Go > Go to Folder.
Type this: ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go the move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try autofill.

After installing Firefox 3.6.10. My browser is not displaying PDF files. I am using Foxit Reader 4.02

I reinstall my windows XP recently. I install Firefox 3.6.10 and Foxit Reader 4.02. But, now PDF files cannot be displayed within the browser. Earlier i used the same combination and it was working fine.

Hello,
i think firefox does not have a native pdf reader.
But some plugins allow you to view these documents. For instance, Adobe created one, you can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/browse/type:7
(the first one..)

Hi..
Try removing a plugin...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

Recently Firefox is not displaying PDF files. It acts like it loads the PDF but there is nothing there but the 'program' that the document should be shown in.

This started with Firefox 20 and still persists with Firefox 21. It never happened before. Everything is up to date. However, the PDFs don't display. Sometimes I can see the progress bar showing a load and sometimes it's just the normal PDF program background, but regardless, it is not displaying. What's happening with this?
By the way, I end up having to go to Chrome to view the PDF since I cannot get them to work in Firefox.

Firefox 19 introduced an integrated PDF viewer. Unfortunately, it can't handle all of the formats and features supported by the Adobe plugin (yet). To switch, check out this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]. Does that solve it?

IBooks not displaying PDF files properly. Help!!

Most PDF files open fine in iBooks on my new iPad 3. However, some show up with blank pages. Sometimes the first couple of pages are visible but at a very poor resolution so that the file is unreadable and then the rest of the pages are blank. Sometimes the whole file is blank. These are mostly PDFs of academic articles that I downloaded from JSTOR. Can someone please help with this?
I've looked online and found people reporting a similar problem 2 years ago. I this really something that Apple can't solve? Should I buy goodreader? I know it is only 5 euros but I don't want to fork out money if it is going to have the same problem.
Saving the ,PDFs again on my desktop, which is the solution suggested 2 years ago on the online forum I found seems a rather awkward solution for what must be a simple problem.
Is there another solution. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks

Without finding a PDF that I can download and try, I would recommend giving up on iBooks. Download Adode Reader if it is availble in your app store. It is free as well. I find it to work better with PDF files than iBooks.
I cannot read pdfs that have fillable form fields in PDF files in iBooks, but the fillable form fields are visible in the PDF files if I open them in Adobe reader.

Works fine in Firefox, Camino

Firefox 11 not displaying pdfs with Adobe Reader update (MacOS)

Since updating to Adobe Reader 10.1.3, I noticed Firefox 11 does not display PDF files. It just shows a blank screen.
The only workaround I found is disabling the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in (ver. 10.1.3) the update installs. Firefox will prompt which application to use.Choosing Preview allows the PDFs to display correctly.
Neither Chrome or Safari exhibit this behavior, nor does Firefox 11 (Windows) with the update installed.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I've found another workaround to this problem. If you open Firefox 11 in 32-bit mode, it will be able to display PDF files.
To open Firefox in 32-bit mode, quit Firefox, go to the Applications folder, right-click on Firefox and click on "Get Info".
Then, under General, you should see a checkbox where you can have Firefox open in 32-bit. Close this window and restart Firefox and you should be good to go.

I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

Dear everyone
I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
I read a european commission document explaining that
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
I checked the following web page
Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
that is recommending the following:
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
unable to open these pdf.
Does anybody knows anything else I can do?

How to display pdf file with java code?

Hi All,
i have a jsp pagein that page if i click one icon then my backing bean method will call and that method will create pdf document and write some the content in that file and now i want to display that generated pdf document.
it should look like you have pressed one icon and it displayed pdf file to you to view.
java code below:
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) ec.getResponse();
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=\"" + temppdfFile);
resp.encodeRedirectURL(temppdfFile.getAbsolutePath());
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
ServletOutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
ServletUtils.returnFile(temppdfFile, out);
out.flush();
and above temppdfFile is my generated pdf file.
when i am executing this code, it was opening dialog box for save and cancel for the file, but the name of the file it was showing me the "jsp file name" with no file extention (in wich jsp file i am calling my backing bean method) and type is "Unknown File type" and from is "local host"
it was not showing me open option so i am saving that file then that file saved as a pdffile with tha name of my jsp file and there is nothing in that file(i.e. empty file).
what is the solution for this. there is any wrong in my code.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance
Indira

public Object buildBarCodes() throws Exception
File bulkBarcodes = null;
String tempPDFFile = this.makeTempDir();
File tempDir = new File("BulkPDF_Files_Print");
if(!tempDir.exists())
tempDir.mkdir();
bulkBarcodes = File.createTempFile
(tempPDFFile, ".pdf", tempDir);
//bulkBarcodes = new File(tempDir, tempPDFFile+"BulkBarcode"+"."+"pdf");
if(!bulkBarcodes.exists())
bulkBarcodes.createNewFile();
Document document = new Document();
FileOutputStream combinedOutput = new FileOutputStream(bulkBarcodes);
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, combinedOutput);
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("\n"));
document.add(new Paragraph("\n"));
Image image = Image.getInstance(bc.generateBarcodeBytes(bc.getBarcode()));
document.add(image);
combinedOutput.flush();
document.close();
combinedOutput.close();
FacesContext facesc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = facesc.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) ec.getResponse();
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline: BulkBarcodes.pdf");
resp.encodeRedirectURL(bulkBarcodes.getAbsolutePath());
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setBufferSize(10000000);
ServletOutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
ServletUtils.returnFile(bulkBarcodes, out);
out.flush();
return "success";
This is my action method which will call when ever i press a button in my jsp page.
This method will create the barcode for the given barcode number and write that barcode image in pdf file
(i saw that pdf file which i have created through my above method, This PDF file opening when i was opening manually and the data init that is also correct means successfully it writes the mage of that barcode)
This method taking the jsp file to open because as earlier i said it was trying to open unknown file type document and i saved that file and opended with editplus and that was the jsp file in which file i am calling my action method I mean to say it was not taking the pdf file which i have created above it was taking the jsp file

Safari 6.0 will not display pdf's

When I upgraded to OS X mountain lion and did all of the updates that were required, I found that the new version of safari (6.0) would not display pdf documents in the browser..... here's how i resolved it.
Completely quit safari
Back up data
In Finder select GO > Go to Folder. or use key combo Shift-Command-G and enter the following: /Library/Internet Plug-ins then press return
(it's easier to view in list mode)
Delete the file called " AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin "
Restart Safari and delete the cache and try to view an online pdf.
I found it prudent to have the latest version of flash installed

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
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, 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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
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.
