Open a PDF link in safari or adobe.

I am on a website that pulls up a single page PDF. On my laptop I can click on the bookmarks chain to the left to open another PDF book. In safari on my ipad 2 I cannot find a bookmarks tab. If I open the web page in adobe I can click on the bookmarks but the link does nothing. Is there a browser or PDF viewer that can open this link. Here is the link: http://manuals.gogenielift.com/Parts%20And%20Service%20Manuals/START%20HERE.pdf. Thanks.

Hello Paul:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I am away from my Macs at the momment, but let me try
to help.
Highlight a PDF file (do not open it). Now I am
fuzzy...go to the menu bar and find a parameter that
says "open with" You will see a drop down menu with
all the available options. Select PDF and then click
on open with this for all flike files (or something
similar).
My apologies for being vague - if I was at my Apple,
I would walk myself through it first.

Barry, that sounds like your talking about choosing a opening application in the finder, thats not my problem, I want safari to use the correct plugin for pdf file links, how do i do that?

Can't open PDF links in Safari

Hi, only since a couple of days ago, I couldn't open PDF links in Safari. The page loads but nothing appears in the new window or tab.
Thanks,
Aaron

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Did you recently install Adobe Reader or is it installed in your system? If not, Safari's preference folder may be corrupt. To create a new preference file go to the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist folder found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
Restart Safari and try a PDF. It ought to open within the browser. Also, you'll need to reset your custom preferences, plus any custom settings in the Edit (spelling) or View (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons etc.) menus.
If Adobe Reader is installed, and you want the PDF to open in the Safari Browser, go to your Internet Plug-ins Folder (Main or User Library in your Finder) and remove the Adobe plug-in.

When I try to open a PDF file in safari I get a grey page, I don't have this problem in Firefox

When I try to open a PDF file in safari I get a grey page, I don't have this problem in Firefox?

Tried reinstalling Adobe, didn't change anything.I've tried Control click when opening the PDF link, still a blank, grey page.

Firefox won't open a PDF link in the browser, screen just shows blank.

Firefox won't open a PDF link in the browser, when I click on the link the screen just goes to a blank blue screen.

If using a Mac, go to the Firefox Plugins and disable the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3. This is a recent plugin update, and as soon as it was installed I noticed that PDFs wouldn't download.
Location: [Menu] Tools/Add-Ons/Plugins
I don't know what other side-effects it can create, but it solved my problem.

Problem opening online PDF link/file

Every time I try to open a PDF link, I get an error message saying it's not opening because it's either not a supported file type or it's damaged. I have tried opening it with Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox to no avail. I also considered whether or not I had the wrong Adobe Reader version but I believe it's up-to-date. If anyone could shed some light on this issue, I'd be very grateful.

Hi Gilad and Pat!
Your suggestions were helpful and it's worked for some of the files that were not opening but the 'application form' which is the most important one is still not working.
@Pat: I am using the 11.0.5 Adobe Reader version

When I try to open a pdf link in my browser I am asked where I want to save the file. I used to be asked if I wanted to open the file. How do I get back to being asked if I want to open rather than save?

Pdf link in Safari

Good morning,
I have problems with pdf link in Safari. Tapping on them they don't work.
Thanks for the support.
Danilo

You may like to experiment with this manually first, if it works then finalize it in a script:
1) manually login to you secure site.
2) copy the URL address
3) launch Terminal and type in:
'/System/Library/Automator/Get Link URLs from Webpages.action/Contents/Resources/links' 'http://the.copied.URL'
replace http://the.copied.URL with real URL, it should return a list of links in the URL.
4) If the PDF links is in it, then you'll try to download it using curl command, still in Terminal; type in:
/usr/bin/curl 'http://path.to.PDF.URL' -o ~/foo.pdf
replace http://path.to.PDF.URL with the pdf link, and with any luck you download you PDF to your home folder.

I cannot open any pdf files in Safari on my Mac Book

I cannot open any pdf-files using Safari anymore. Does anybody know what is going on?
Thank´s a lot!

Found the solution online!
An easy way to locate a file is to open the Finder. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this in exactly as you see it here > /Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you see the PDF Browser plugin, move it to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Cannot open the pdf/videos in my Linux, Adobe Reader 9. It fires an error...
"A 3D data parsing error has occurred"
By any chance have someone help me with this issue? Thanks!

thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
Appreciate your quick response.

PDF Links in Excel Sheets - Adobe Prof. won't open

When i try to open a pdf document which is embedded as a link into a excel sheet, Adobe Professional 7.0.0 pops up for a second a close itself again instantly.
I could figure out that the problem lies somewhere in the .pdf file extensions which are managed by the OS (Windows XP in this case). So what im doing is deleting all the WinXp PDF File extensions and creating a new one.
This "hotfix" works as long as i don't reboot the PC. As soon as Windows starts Adobe Professional starts some kind of startup and the problem occurs again.
Anyone a idea ?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried right clicking on a PDF and selecting open with by default, and select AA?

How do I open a PDF posted in safari with another program....Isn't there an "open in" option?

I am using my iPad for school in conjunction with D2L. When professors upload documents to the website (mostly using Adobe) I can open the PDF but only the first page of the document comes up. I have adobe reader on my I pad and the instructions say to click on the "open in" tab and chose adobe reader. However, I have yet to find an open in tab. I have several apps on my iPad including adobe reader, pages and good reader. Please help me find a way to read through these documents.
Thanks!!!!!!!

iBooks functions as a decent PDF reader. Install iBooks and you should see it as an option in 'Open in' of Safari.
Good luck.
