Opening downloaded pdfs in preview NOT safari

Whenever I download a pdf it opens in safari.
I want it this function to default open to preview.
suggestions?
thanks.

If you click on a direct link to a pdf in Safari it will always display in Safari: if you control-click and choose to download it then when you double-click the file it should open in Preview. If it doesn't, highlight it and hit command-i; Set 'Open with' to 'Preview' and click the 'Change all' button. You can also save it as a PDF once displayed from the File menu or by clicking the download icon at the bottom of the page.
FireFox will probably open it by default: if not open the Preferences>Applications and scroll down to 'Preview document': set it to Preview.

Open in pdfs in preview from Safari page

Since the release of Safari 8.03 when a pdf page loads in Safari the icons to have the page opened in preview no longer works.
When a PDF is open on a Safari page, bringing the cursor to the bottom of the page causes several icons to pop up, one of which used to cause the pdf to be opened by preview. Now when I click that icon nothing happens. I can export the pdf and then open in preview, but that is an extra few steps.
Any suggestions on how to bring the behavior back?

Have you installed the vlc plug in for safari, this might help, I'm going to try it my self and see if it works

Opening downloaded pdf files using Adobe instead of in Safari

I prefer to use full-feature Adobe software to view downloaded pdf files instead of Safari. How do I keep Safari from opening them in the browser and instead automatically open Adobe Reader when the search engine finds a pdf file?

I have just installed Adobe Reader 9. I am getting frequent system hangs (cannot do anything without cold re-boot) when using the product, in particular when using forms documents provided by Companies House, a UK government agency.

Can't open any PDF in preview - it freezes. Help

When I try to open a PDF in preview I get the first page and the loading symbol and nothing else. The application freezes and that's it. I end up having to false quit and I can't read the document. Any ideas. This is driving me crazy and I need to read PDFs for work and I work at home. Please help.

Problem opening downloaded PDF files

When I click on a PDF link in Safari, I would normally expect the document to open with Acrobat 7.0.
What is happening now, is that the screen changes to 'browse' option asking me to identify which application will open the PDF. When I click on Acrobat 7.0, the screen goes blank.
So, basically, I can't open downloaded PDFs from Safari, (though it's Ok with Opera, Firefox etc)
In the Acrobat prefs, in the internet settings, 'Display PDF in browser using: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional (7.0.0)' is checked.
Mac Power PC, 2G RAM, OSX 10.4.11; Safari 3.2.1, Acrobat 7.0.0

Do you have more that one version of Acrobat or reader loaded?
Only one is certified to work at a time.

I am having trouble with pdf files continuously get damaged file message when try to open downloaded pdf with adobe reader

Cannot open downloaded pdf's with adobe reader. Have latest version of adobe program continuously get damaged file message. Anybody else having this problem? Using imac with osx10.7.1 (latest lion)

I am having the exact same problem. This is very disturbing.
Lately I have been deluged with adobe update dialogues. I don't know whether this is real or some kind of bugus malware phenomenon.
Imagine my surprise when I looked here in the forum and I am not alone.
Kaufmann's remark that we shouldn't be using adobe reader doesn't explain why it is malfunctioning like this. I have been using the reader on Mac OS for years, and I don't get what's happening now.
Does anyone realy know what is going on?

I can only print the current page of downloaded pdf's. Not able to print "all". I'm using a Macbook air.

I can only print the current page of downloaded pdf's. Not able to print "all". I'm using a Macbook air.

it says "the document could not be printed". "There were no ages selected to print".
I selected "all". I always tried selecting pages "1-3".
The only choice that works is current page. Very strange.

Open PDF in Preview in Safari 5.1

I'm using Safari 5.1, and recently, I found out that the "Open PDF in Preview" option does not work. I would click the button several times, and it would not bring up Preview. I don't have Adobe Reader or any other PDF reader on my MBP. The only way I can view the PDF in Preview is to first download it and then open it up in Preview. Does anybody know why this is happening? Is this a problem with Safari 5.1?

Gp tp /Library/Preferences - Internet Plug-Ins.
Move the PDF Browser Plug-in and any Adobe plugins to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
Right or control click a PDF file you have on the hard drive then click: Get Info
In the Get Info panel click Open with.
Select Preview then click: Change all
Might be a good idea to read this even if you don't use Adobe Acrobat just so you will be aware.

How do I open desktop .pdfs in Preview but in-line (Web) .pdfs in Safari?

Hi, all-
I've got Safari 6 and Mountain Lion, and I like being able to view .pdf files on the Web in Safari, for example, they open in a new tab. However, I also have a lot of .pdfs on my desktop. I want those to open in Preview. What happens now is that when I double-click one, Safari launches, and the .pdf opens there. Then I have to click on the "Open in Preview" button at the bottom of the screen.
I have tried changing the "Open with" selection (in a .pdf Info window) to Preview, and I've clicked the Change All button. But then, everything opens in Preview (I guess as you'd suspect). So, when I click a link to a .pdf on a Web site, instead of nicely opening in a new tab in Safari, it opens in Preview.
To make matters more complicated, when I have gone back and changed the "Open with" option to Safari, then everything opens in Safari, including when I click on the "Open in Preview" button. In other words, when I see a .pdf in Safari, and then I click "Open in Preview," all it does is it opens another tab in Safari and displays the file there. It's either all or nothing.
All I want to be able to do is have .pdfs that are on my desktop open in Preview, and .pdfs that are linked to Web sites open in Safari. Is there any way to do this?

Please search the plugins page for the term "PDF". You should find this:
WebKit built-in PDF
MIME Type
Description
Extensions
application/pdf
Portable Document Format
pdf
If you find any other instances, post them.

I can't open a pdf in Preview anymore. How do I fix this?

When I open a pdf, a dialog box opens up with the following message: "The file "File Name" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." I tried it with Adobe Reader and I got the same message. I am running 10.10.1 on a 2013 Macbook Pro.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
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 2
Do as in Step 1 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.

"first open Acrobat and accept the End User Agreement License" with black window? Cannot open downloaded PDFs

I have CS5 installed and operating in my MacBook Pro since 2012.
Several months ago, I ran not an issue where by, when trying to download PDFs from any website, I get the following back screen and message"
"Before proceeding, you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement"
The screen gives me no options to do this and, regardless of what I do, the same window with the same message opens…….
Does anyone know how to address this? FYI. I can use Acrobat Pro 9 to assemble and create PDFs, this is the ONLY problem that I am dealing with.
Thanks so much!
Steve

Hello Rave!
Thanks for remembering me!
No, I was never able to get this to work.
What I found, however, is that I can view the pdfs normally if I use Firefox instead on my default, Safari…….not much of a fix BUT at least I can access the pdfs now……..I just don't understand why this seems to happen in Safari only………Safari is updated to the latest version via Software Update in Mac OS 10.7.5….
Thanks again!
Steve

Can no longer download pdf file since last safari update

Since the last OS update (I am running Safari 6.1; OX 10.8.5) pdf files via Safari fail to open. Yet they do open in Firefox, which is 'not' my default browser. Anyone else having issues?

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin (or anything Adobe related) in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

When downloading PDFs, they do not save to the download folder I assigned in Firefox - what can I do to fix this?

I am running Windows 8.
Every time I save a PDF it opens in UserName - AppData - Local - Temp
I have tried changing the download location in Firefox.
I've also Googled this problem and IE has the same issue - the fix for IE is declaring the site as trusted, but Firefox does not have a trusted site option.

I am aware of that.
My actual actions taken are:
I open the PDF
I hit CNTRL + SHIFT + S
The Safe Box with the temp folder selected pops up.
I access the file I wish to save in from the directory tree (I go to my username - documents - the folder - the sub-folder - the next sub-folder and then save).
Once a month I need to save 30-40 PDFs in the same folder in a short amount of time - in Windows XP the last folder saved in would become the default, which would be great. And again I found the work-around for IE, but I really like Firefox, and want to use it for this, if possible.

The Downloaded PDF file does not contain the Signature through BSP pages

HI,
We have an requirement for Distributing the FORM 16 to all Employee's through our Website, where the user will login and download his own FORM 16 ( TDS Certificate)
This FORM 16 ( TDS Certificate ) is generated in SAP ( ECC 6.0 ) in Payroll Module.
To satisfy the above requirement we have done the following steps.
1) First we have modified the standards SAP Sapscript(Layout) to incorporate the Signature of Authorised Payroll Person.
We have done this by uploading the BMP file ( though t-code SE78 ) and then calling this file in the Standards layout which prints the FORM 16 document.
2) WE also Modifed the Dirver program to Download the above document in a .PDF file.
The Program creates the seperate file for each employee and assigns the employee number as a file name to each downloaded file. These all files are downloaded on a Users Machine.
We opened the Downloaded .PDF files, and checked for the Signatures. The Signature were comming perfect as it ws uploaded.
3) We uploaded these all FORM 16 PDF file off all emlpoyee's to a different SERVER ( BW 7.0 ). With the help of BASIS person, using the FTP utility.
4) We wrote a BSP program to download this ulploaded PDF Files.
BUT we are facing a PROBLEM in the DOWNLOADED PDF file.
The Downloaded file does not contain the Signature which is there is the Original file we uploded this server.
All other data in the dowloaded PDF file is Perfect other than the Signature.
When we open the downlaoded PDF file it give's following message on the Signautre page.
" Xobject not found named 00013"
The number of the Object comes different to different files.
We are using Function module 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING' to Convert string to Xstring
We are using the the " CALL METHOD CL_BSP_UTILITY=>DOWNLOAD" for downloading the PDF file.
Please suggest some solution if you can
Thanks in advnace.
