Pdf not opening with Safari

Safari will not open pdf files. I have 8.1.3 and this is still an issue on my phone and tablet. It will not allow to open Safari files in iBooks either. This is a problem on my phone, tablet, and friends and families tablets, so I know this must be a common problem. Is there a solution?

I have no problem opening PDFs in Safari or iBooks on my iPad 2 iOS 8.1.3. What exactly happens when you load a PDF page in Safari? Perhaps you could post a link to the page you're trying to open?
can you open this page:

Why do PDFs not open in Safari

When trying to open a PDF file from a sight on Safari all I get is a black screen. Can you not open a PDF file from Safari? What is the solution if there is one?

Delete the following item, then quit and relaunch Safari:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin

Pdf not opening with _blank in Safari Mac, opens fine in Firefox, IE7

We have pdf's ('secured' using Acrobat Pro, on a password protected site) that open fine, using _blank, in IE7 Win and also download fine with Firefox - but will only give a blank page in Safari Mac (generally latest versions of the browsers). We have tried now on two Macs and one PC (each in a different location, not that that matters).
Would most appreciate your insights. We need to get this up. (Have searched the forums extensively, not found discussion of this.)
Much thanks,
David Allen

Safari 4, has a pdf viewer built-in, and this may cause a conflict with your code (or any old pdf viewers you have installed). You could try searching the apple developers web site for more info at -

ITunes Store Will Not Open with Safari 4.0.4

When I attempt to access the iTunes store I get a message that says "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes store within iTunes. Use software update to download and install the latest version of Safari." I am running Safari 4.0.4 and Software update says I have the latest versions of everything. I removed and reinstalled iTunes and removed and reinstalled Safari. Same message. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, has it been resolved? Thank you!

A long shot, but make sure Safari is set to accept cookies either "Always" or "only from sites I visit". If you have cookies turned off completely, that may cause a problem.
Regards.

PDF document opened with Preview does not show french accents

Hi everybody,
I've got some issues with PDF documents opened with Preview.
They show a blank space for all the accented vowels.
If I open the same document with Safari, it's the same. But with Chrome, it works perfectly.
I assume there's a problem with fonts, but, nothing wrong with fontbook (checked duplicates for instance).
Last information : it looks ok within chrome on my Imac, but the issue comes back when I try to print from chrome app...the accents are gone on the sheet.
Any idea ? I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Thanks for your help !

I don't want to install Adobe reader...
Why not? It can handle some pdf's that Preview can't. At least it's worth a try.
In case you change you mind get it from here.

How can I get a pdf. to open in Safari, all i'm getting is a new window with a black, blank page, instead of the pdf., and I don't want to save the file to the desktop, Safari didn't use to do that, and I don't have Adobe in the internet plug in folder.

In OSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.2. Many videos will not open in Safari

I am running OSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.2. Many videos will not open on Safari but open on Chrome. I have enabled javascript in Safari Preferences. I get a javascript void message when copying the link of the non-working videos. In one discussion about javascript problems in Mountain Lion a Java Preferences Ap in Utilities was used to fix the problem. I do not have a Java Preferences Ap in Applications\Utilities. I am stuck.

I am having a similar issue, except mine is with a military site. The military sites use java althroughout for downloading files/image. The problem is that it never gives me the notice to enable java for these sites.
I would like to have the ability to manually tell safari to allow java on a particular site so this isn't an issue.
This would solve my issue and allow a way to activate java on sites that don't give you the option to allow it.

I can not open my Safari. It quits unexpectedly. The issue happens with a single user account. It does not happen to anyone else in my family. Please help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

PDF is not opening in safari

PDF is not opening in safari . I have adobe prof 9, and safari is the latest version.
Now, all I get is a black window and nothing loads.
what should i do?
i have added ad ones to open pdf in safari, but still doesnt work

Carolyn, thanks -- your solution helped.
Actually, I've had the issue in OSX Lion, whereby the .pdf didn't launch in Safari . . . well, not launch fully.
In my Safari Browser, there would be a blue Q (Quicktime logo) that appeared momentarily, and then the 1st .pdf page (only) would show. But, not say, the other 17 pages . . .
Anyways, in Lion I got a message "Cannot delete (Internet Plugins) folder because OSX needs it" or something like that --> so, I just deleted all the contents + quit Safari = solved!

Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...

Dear all,
Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.
It is quite disappointing with this phone !

hi mateys,
you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.

When I turn on firefox the sound of an alarm begins and keeps going. I did not download or add or open anything. A sound like the old pacman game initiates the never ending alarm. It does not occur with safari and ends if I close firefox.

== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I opened firefox

dont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!!
(if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
OR
if you have cool preview then disable that
(the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on google's homepage)

Why will Safari not open with the homepage that I marked? I have done everything Help said.

Why will Safari not open with the homepage that I marked even after marking it in Safari preferences?

Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try setting your hompeage.
