Links within a pdf won't open in Safari, but work fine on Explorer, Firefox

I created a pdf with embedded links and posted it to my site. The links within the pdf work just fine with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, but they will not open with Safari, neither on a Mac nor on a Windows platform.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try this. In the Safari window, click the Preferences icon right side of page.
Then select the General tab.
At the bottom of that window, below, "Open links from applications", choose the option you want.

  • PDFs won't open in Safari; blank screen with Quicktime logo opens instead

    When I click on a link to a PDF file within a Safari browser window, the PDF file does not open (in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader) as desired, or as it once did. Rather, now a new window opens with a Quicktime logo showing agains an otherwise blank white field and no other info is present. I can't seem to open any PDF files from any web source, nor can I right click to download them to my computer for opening later. I have read other postings on this subject, and upon opening my library/internet plug-ins folder, I find that no plug-ins at all are present.
    How can I get Safari to open PDFs normally? I can't seem to find any relevant preference settings in either Safari or Acrobat which have any effect on this problem.
    My operating system is 10.3.9, and my version of Safari is 1.3.2. My version of Acrobat reader is 7.0.9, and my version of Acrobat is 5.0.5. Thanks for any advice...!

  • Cs5 gives error that camera type is not supported when trying to open raw files but worked fine earlier

    Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
    Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.

  • Links no longer work when I try to use Etsy in Firefox, but work fine in Explorer and Safari.

    Until fairly recently, I had no trouble using Etsy in Firefox, but after the last update, I noticed that the site stopped working. I cannot click on any links, even the one that would allow me to log in. I originally thought the issue might be that I have OS X 10.5.8 on my computer, so the newest upgrade is not compatible, but I use a computer with Windows 7 at work and am having the same problem. Etsy works fine in both Explorer (at work) and in Safari (at home).

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    (WIN) Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.<br>
    (MAC) Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    (WIN) orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced<br>
    (MAC) Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
    (WIN) right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"<br>
    (ANY) Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    If that doesn't make any difference, perhaps an add-on is at fault? A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If the site works correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    Any change?

  • Pdf won't open in safari

    Hi,
    Since Mountain Lion I have a problem with safari. I hoped that upgrading to Mavericks would help, but it didn't.
    I cannot open pdfs within Safari on my iMac.
    I already saw other threads that helped many people with solutions but for me these doen't help.
    I already deleted the adobe plug ins from the library and there are no other plugins for pdf in this folder. In Safari from the menu "installed plug ins" I only see the WebKit built in and a plugin for Speed Download concerning the pdf files.
    I use OSX 10.9.0
    Safari 7.0
    Acrobat Reader 11.0.04
    I also have Glims installed.
    Does anybody have a clue what I can do.
    Thank you for your support.

    The plugin is where I said it was. You're looking in the wrong place. Let's try again.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    A Finder window will open with that item selected. Delete it, then quit and relaunch Safari.

  • Mac - PDFs won't open in Safari

    My employer uses a system that uses online PDF forms.  It's not working on my system.  Running MacOS 10.6.4, Safari 5.0.1 (6533.17.8), and Adobe Reader 9.3.4.  I have removed Adobe Reader app, including the plugin in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, and re-installed Reader.  When I click on a pdf in the browser, it just downloads, and does not open in the browser.  How can this be resolved?

    In Snow Leopard, Safari is a 64-bit application.  But Adobe hasn't updated their plugin to run in 64-bit mode; that's why it's not loading in Safari.
    But you can force Safari to run in 32-mode, and then the Adobe plugin works as expected.
    Here's how:
    To do this,
    In the Finder go to your Applications folder, select Safari and do File->Get Info
    Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' in the General pane of that dialog, then close the "Safari Info" window.
    Relaunch Safari
    Now the Acrobat plugin will work as expected.
    There is one downside to this: When running in 64-bit mode, if a buggy plugin (like Flash) crashes, Safari itself keeps running.  But in 32-bit mode, if a buggy plugin causes a crash, Safari itself will crash.
    The real fix is for Adobe to update the plugin to run in 64-bit mode, since Snow Leopard has been out for over a year already!

  • PDFs won't open in Safari

    I have now Adobe Reader 9 installed, along with the old Adobe 8.
    For a while I was asked to point to the correct Adobe application. That quit working for unknown reasons. I can no longer open bank statements and other statements in Safari --just the spinning grey wheel
    How can I tell Safari that Adobe 9 is the default reader?

    HI,
    Open the Adobe Reader application then from the Menu Bar click Adobe Reader/Preferences
    Select "Internet" under Categories
    Where you see: Display PDF in browser using
    Click the pop up menu and select Adobe Reader.

  • Tax simplifier statement pdf does not open in chrome, but works in IE

    Hi,
    we are using the Tax simplifier statement
    http://server:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hress_a_rep_in_ssitp?sap-wd-configId=HRESS_AC_REP_IN_SSITP&sap-accessibility=X#
    it is opening properly in Internet explorer, but in google chrome, it is not displaying, instead, giving following message.
    I already have latest adobe reader.
    is there anything, we can do to enable to open in chrome.
    i tried to enhance the component HRGRT_FC_DOCUMENT_DISPLAY to make the xstring OUTPUT_CONTENT-PDF_SOURCE to download the pdf, but that too works only in IE but not in chrome.
    is there any way to enable/make it available in chrome.

  • My feed won't upload to iTunesU, but works fine if I subscribe to it through iTunes!

    Hello all!
    here's the problem:
    I have made a link to an xml file that won't upload to iTunesU through the public site manager, and won't be validated on FeedValidator.org.  
    Feedvalidator gives the message: server returned timed out
    iTunesU Public Site Manager returns the message that it can't download the feed from the url.
    HOWEVER,
    - the url to the xml file works perfectly in all web browsers - it is recognized as a feed and a working link to the video comes up right away.
    - I uploaded the xml and video file to a different website(not on the University's server) and iTunesU and feedvalidator recognize it as valid, and the content appeared on our iTunesU page straight away.
    - I was able to successfully subscribe to the feed (on the University's server) and download the video file using iTunes on my computer.
    I am thinking it has something to do with the permissions on our University's server, but the system admin and I have reached a dead end as far as solutions
    I'm getting pretty frustrated figuring this out, can anybody help?!??!
    It is greatly appreciated!

    Your feed definitely validates, I’ve entered it by direct input on the w3cfeed validator and it’s fine - http://validator.w3.org/feed/#validate_by_input. That suggests it’s definitely a server configuration issue. Could the server be blocking ports required by the validator or iTunes? I presume the validator and iTunes both use http port 80, in which case, as the feed renders in a browser there shouldn't be a problem. Is the server definately available to external users/applications ie off campus?
    Could it be a character encoding issue? I have downloaded your feed and opened it in notepad++ and it tells me the character encoding is 'UTF8 without BOM'. Not sure if it makes any difference but I use 'UFT8' for our feeds. I think servers can change character encoding depending on how they're set up which might account for the discrepancy.
    This is not connected to your original question but you're not using the itunesu name space in the rss element at the top of your feed. As you're not using any itunesu specific elements in your feed I'm not sure if it's needed but just thought I'd mention it.

  • Vids won't run with Safari, but work with FireFox just fine

    I can't get vids to run with Safari. Where the vid is supposed to be, on YouTube etc, it's just blank. They run fine with FireFox, though. I don't mind using FireFox, its a great browser. I just don't like the idea of something being wrong with my MacBook.

    Make sure your plug-ins are enabled in Safari (preferences) and that you're not using Rosetta mode (Get Info window).

  • Why won't my SWF file attached to html play in Safari but work fine in Firefox?

    I've tested the files in dreamweaver, on all browsers, and they work fine. But when I uploaded them to my site they only work in Firefox. The crazy thing is when I check the file in file management they work just not from the main site. What am I missing?

    I have a MacBook Pro bought in 2010. I had been burning Sony DVD+R's without any problem.
    Then I ran out of blanks and bought a cake of Sony DVD-R's. Put one into the drive and the
    macbook spit it out. Launched Toast then inserted the blank again and Toast says "You can't write
    to this disk". Quit Toast and out comes the blank.
    The system info for the DVD drive says it can read/write -R, -R DL. +R, +R DL, etc. Anything.
    I don't know what the problem is, but it is not a failing or dirty drive. I don't think it is a problem with
    the blank DVDs either. It is probably a compatibility problem between MacBook Pros and
    Snow Leopard/Leopard and -R DVDs.

  • Ipod won't update new software but works fine

    itunes has latest update trying to update my ipod but says that it has timed out every single time. Tried to restore it, and tells me the samething

    You need to get someone to help you turn off or temporiarly disable the anit-virus software (Norton, McAfee, AVG, Avast, Kaspersky, or what ever).

  • Won´t accept CD-R, but works fine with DVD (Combo-Drive)

    Hi there,
    my emac got stuck after using a audio-CD with a little scratch. After restart I introduced normal CD-R, but they just got ejected by themselves after a few strange noises and about 5 seconds. I put in the MAC OS X start-up DVD, and it worked perfectly.
    The question is: is there anything I could do, besides upgrading my eMAC after all to a Superdrive?
    Doing some reliable(?) Internet research, it looks, that that can´t be too hard, and my warranty has expired anyway. So the second question goes:
    Which brands and models are working fine? (Looks like Pioneer does, but only them?)
    Thanks a lot,
    Daniel.
    eMAC   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi,
    I had the same problem on my 14 month old (under-used!) 1.25 combo, would read dvd fine but not cd-rw, I tried a cleaning disc and even took out drive to blow out any possible dust! still no luck.
    I then decided to go superdrive and put in a Pioneer 110D cd/dvd burner as this seemed the popular choice, I found installation easy, I left the jumper on back of cd burner on 'CS' as my original one was set to that. I then fired up emac and installed 'Patchburn 3' software patch available as a download from the internet to finish the installaton. So far it all seems ok!

  • How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser?

    How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser? Previous forums (for earlier versions of InDesign and Acrobat) mention something about JavaScript, but I'm using InDesign CC and Adobe Acrobat Pro CC
    Thanks.

    When you're looking at the PDF that's on your site, is it opened in the browser or directly i Acrobat/Reader? If in the borwser, do you know if it's being viewed in the browser's default PDF viewer or Acrobat/Reader? It probably won't work in non-Adobe PDF viewers.
    Are you saying that when you click the link that two new browser tabs are opened with the same URL, instead of just one as you'd expect, or something else?

  • How do you open a link within a PDF in a new window?

    I created a PDF that will be viewed in a browser. Is there a way to set the links within the PDF to open in a new window?

    Did you get an answer to this?   I am having the exact same issue.  My source html document has a link which specifies a target of _blank, but when I generate a pdf from that html doc, view the PDF in my browswer, and click the link, it overlays the PDF instead of opening a new window with the linked URL.  I've seen this posted as an issue a number of times, but have yet to see a solution.
