Opening pdfs displayed in Safari using Acrobat

I'm using Safari 5.1 with OS 10.6.8. I used to be able to ctrl-click on a pdf in Safari and elect to open in Acrobat, which then allowed me to save the file, or use functionality of Acrobat Pro. This feature seems to have been removed - any ideas how I get it back?

    Unable to open PDF directly if user use Acrobat 8.
    We are facing some problems in our production site. When user click PDF icon, "FileDownload" windows pops up, but it only has "Save" or "Cancel" button, so user needs to download and save the file to open.
    I tested the following scenario using

    Does anyone have any experience with something of this nature?

    I must have missed the announcement - when did these forums change from Java language to IE/Adobe/Mozilla forums?

  • Could not open PDF Files with Safari using Lion - Solution

    Two for one solution:
    After installing Lion on my Macbook Pro, I could not open PDF files on line via Safari and iPhoto 11 kept crashing.
    Well, the solution for bothy problems was to remove the "3ivx" file. 
    The easiest way to do so is go to Applications > 3ivx folder > run Remove 3ivx app.
    OR:
    Finder > Library folder > Application Support folder > drag "3ivx" folder to trash and trash.

  • Why Acrobat Reader doesn't open pdf-files from Safari?

    I'm new Mac user and cannot find answer why I cannot open pdf-files directly from Safari. My Macbook OS X 10.9.3 and Safari is 7.0.4. Only way to open pdf-files is to download the content first and then open it. If I try to open it directly Acrobat says "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement". I have downloaded Acrobat Reader several times already and cannot understand what I'm doing wrong.

    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

  • Open PDF files from Safari after deleting Acrobat Reader

    I can not open PDF files from Safari. I already threw to trash Acdobe Reader and internet plugs in, too. Can anybody help me

    I know you said you threw away the internet plug-ins, but you should double-check this since that is a very common cause of the behavior you describe.

  • Can't open PDF files in safari

    I have a problem opening PDF files in safari
    50% of the time I get a error message:
    "could not launch acrobat." then safari quits,
    and the other 50% of the time:
    it safari does noting for about half a minute and then quits,
    it's not a problem with acrobat, because it does work in Fx and Chrome
    anyone knows what's wrong and, especially, how to solve it?

    There's a couple things you can try to view pdf files in Safari.
    Install Acrobat Reader 9 and it will ask if you Acrobat Reader to view pdf's. Close Safari, check yes and re-open. If AR9 is already installed, go to prefs/internet and and check yes in the box for 'display pdf in browser using......'.
    Alternatively, if Acrobat is opening the pdf file in Safari, and you don't like it (which I didn't), go HD/library/internet plugins and throw away the 'AdobePDFviewer' plugin, and restart Safari. I believe the Quicktime plugin then handles the pdf.
    You may also need to check the mime types in Quicktime. Open System Preferences/Quicktime/Advanced and open the Mime Settings button. Scroll to 'images' and check the box for pdf's.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do i open pdf files in safari

    I am so frustrated.  I've been trying to open a PDF in Safari and it opens (almost all the way) and then stops.  It's about 80% open.  What is preventing it from opening all the way?  I've tried removing the PDF plugins from the library.  Nothing works.  It just stops.  Any advice or good direction would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
    THANK YOU!

  • Difference between opening pdf in IE and from Acrobat Reader?

    What is the difference between opening a pdf straight from a link in IE and going file open in Acrobat Reader, does one use the settings in IE and one use the settings in Acrobat Reader? I have a problem with some files on a company website which take a very long time to download when you click on them to open from IE but when they are saved to disk and then opened they are fine?
    Using Acrobat Reader 9.0 with windows XP SP2
    PS opening the file from the website works find with Adobe Acrobat 8 but not with 9.....

    Not sure about the exact differences but loading pdf files to view in a browser seems to have a high overhead (as in memory required to load and display the file). For that reason I prefer to view all pdf's in the reader. It's just quicker to load and smoother when scrolling to read.
