PDF´s won´t open in Safari... Wazzup?
Hi!
I seem to be unable to open any PDF´s in Safari- when ever I encounter a pdf, I have to copy the link, and paste it in Opera, in order to open it... Am I totally blond and beyond, or what?? I have the same problem on both my Imacs and my MacBook Pro. :-(
Please help- it´s really starting to bug me!
Best regards,
TigerLilly79
Have you installed Adobe Reader? If so, disable all AdobePDFViewer plugin files resident in /Library/Internet Plug-ins, restart, and see if that fixes the issue.

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac
I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.
MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions. -
PDF files won't open in Safari
I'm not sure when this happened but it seems recently...when I go to sites which have pdf files attached (e.g. Yamaha electonics/support/user manuals)the pdf files no longer load within Safari nor download to be opened in their own window. I have Adobe Reader 8.0 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0. Ho do I restore Safari's ablity to find the corrrect plug in and use it to open pdf files?
Message was edited by: Merlin MacuserOpen Adobe Reader, go to Preferences > Internet and disable the "Display PDF in browser using:" option, then quit; do the same for Acrobat Pro.
Quit Safari if it's running. Then copy and paste this command into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false
Press Enter or Return, then quit Terminal.
Restart Safari and try loading a PDF file; it should work perfectly.

PDF Links Won't Open in Safari 3.1.2
Whenever I click on a PDF link in Safari, I just get a blank gray page with a spinner. PDFs use to open with no problem. I did update to Adobe CS3 last week - don't know if that's part of the problem. I have plenty of memory and disk space. Any ideas?
Do you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro installed? If so, that is the problem.
You need to quit Safari, start the applicable program(s) you have, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box where it says "Display PDF in browser using:". Then go to Users/username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove the Adobe PDF plugin. Restart Safari and try view a PDF in the browser.

is there any way to view full pdf and office documents opened in safari? they just open partically if they are bigs
Drag them to your iTunes library. Download the free iBooks app. Select the PDFs you want too sync in the iTunes books pane. The iBooks app will show your books collection or your PDFs collection as you select.

So in the Leopard manual is says that PDF's will now open in Safari, and that if i hover my mouse cursor near the bottom of the screen, a series of option buttons will appear where i can download the file or open it in preview. I take this new feature to mean i don't need adobe acrobat to view PDF files online. However, when i click on a PDF file in a website, it automatically downloads it to my downloads folder without opening it in Safari. How do I make Safari open the PDF file in a safari window like the manual says it should?
Hi
My name is Diethard and I am a recent switcher from PC to Mac, living in Switzerland. I have found an article in the forum, where you helped someone on the problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I have made the "mistake" to install the Acrobat Reader ... and then decided that I prefer to view pdf files through the Preview-function of Leopard. I have managed to get the Preview to be the pdf view for pdf files from the HD. But in Safari I am confronted with the problem, that the click on the pdf icon opens a window, which is then searching for the Acrobat pdf view - which is deinstalled already.
From the article I saw that you proposed to the other person that one should make sure that the library is free of any plug-ins. I have checked this and can confirm that the library folder Internet/Plug-Ins is empty (well, I don't know whether there are "hidden" files, like under Windows). However, when I am opening Safari and look at the menu Help/Installed Plug-ins, I find on top of all other plug-ins a list of plug-ins of Adobe Acrobat (I have copied the list at the end of this mail). But I don't know where I can find them, whether I can de-insatll them without creating a problem.
I also tried the other proposal from the same mail string (write a code into the Konsole), but also that did not prevent Safari to open the acrobat pdf viewer window and then search for the (no longer) existing Acrobat 8.0 ...
Any idea how I could get this solved and back to pure Leopard pdf viewing? Maybe I need to mention that I also have Adobe Photoshop on my PC. Thus I can not just delete anything with Adobe in the name ...
Thank you in advance
Diethard

My EKM Powershot Site won't open in Safari
I have an iMac. It is running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2. I have an internet website with EKM Powershop. It worked fine until a few weeks ago. Then, at some times during the day it said I couldn't log in because of a problem with cookies but at other times it was ok. Now I get the same message all the time and can't log in at all. If I use Chrome it is ok but it is easier for my work if I have it open on both Safari and Chrome. I haven't changed anything with my cookies and that doesn't seem to actually be the problem. Can anyone help?

Archive saved from Safari, file full, won't open in Safari
I had a page open, and saved it as an archive from Safari 3.2.1 on a dual G4.
There's data in the archive file, looks fine, but it won't open in Safari - a new tab appears, but the page never fills with any data...
Any ideas?
Thanks5.1 is buggy, and the Apple Support Software also has to be uninstalled - and downgraded.
Better off with 5.0.x for now.
There are a dozen threads+ about 5.1s issues.
You can also expect some extensions and plug-ins could also be trouble.
And manually clean out every sub folder in AppData with Safari (prefs, history, web, etc) when moving to a new version. Same with Firefox 5/6/etc
I'd make sure to use CCleaner 3.09 and make sure that cleans Safari. -
PDF file won't open after saving it from the web. get error message file is damaged.
My PDF files won't open after saving them to Docs from the web. I get error message file is damaged. Can someone help me correct this problem on Mac Air w Mountain Lion?
I wonder if the image is being embedded somehow and there is not enough scratch disk space to render the file. Just a hunch. Check your hardrive to see how much free space is available. Also, check your RAM and see if you can upgrade ( install more, install much more ) to max out as much RAM as possible. At a minimum, check for fragmentation and do a "Correct Permissions" via Apple's Disk Utility.
But, weird things start happening when a font becomes corrupt. Not that one is, but it may be in your best interest to acquire a font management utility like Font Agent PRO ( if you don't have one already ). A good font management program can detect and disable corrupt fonts.
CS1 and OSX10.4 should be fairly compatable with the 7500, but you may have gone as far as you can go. Think about upgrading to a G4 or a G5. I believe the 7500 was pre G3 ( which I think is the minimum requirements for CS1 ). -
Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -
PDF file won't open with double click
Mac OSX 10.6.8/Acrobat 10.1.3.
Suddenly pdf files won't open with a double click, I now have to open Acrobat and file>open.
Also, once they're open, they won't close by clicking the red close dot, I now have to go to file>close.
Very frustrating!Even reinstalling doesn't work with the standard Creative Suite installer. Except for the double-click bug, Acrobat doens't respond to dock-tasks either, like <right-mouse-click> on dock icon and select <quit>.
In this version of Acrobat, the repair function doen't seem to exist anymore. Sadly....
So the problem keeps existing, even with the laterst 10.1.4 version.

OSX 10.8 - Acrobat Pro X 10.1.4 -
Pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet? how to allow click thru of all files?
pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet? how to allow click thru of all files?
That's handy, because I can run gmail and Chrome too.
Ok, I sent myself a PDF attachment. I'm going to go step by step through what happened
to me, and you can tell me where your experience becomes different.
1. The email shows a preview of the top part of page 1 for the attachment.
2. I hover over the preview and I get two icons, "Download" and "Save to drive".
3. I click Download.
4. The attachment downloads and I see it in the status bar.
5. I click on the document in the status bar. It opens to page 1, but I can use the
scroll bar to read all of the pages.
6. I hover in the bottom right of the page, until Chrome's PDF toolbar appears.
7. I click the save icon.
8. I save the file to my desktop.
9. I open the file from my desktop. It also has all pages. -
Have a new Intel iMac w/ OS 10.5.2 and a pdf document won't open. I get the message"you can't open the application because it's not supported on this architecture". The pdf document will open if I use Preview. What's the problem? Thanks for any input.

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.
