PDF view not working in Safari

When I try and open a PDF from a web site in Safari, I get a black screen. Seems like the Adobe plug in is not working. What can I do?

Mavericks has implemented some new sceurity measures. When I open a PDF from a website I have not makred as trusted I get the black screen you describe but there's also a box to click to activate the Adobe plugin. If I click that option I then get a dialog window asking me if I "trust" the website. Clicking the Trust option then opens the PDF in my browser window. Once you have "trusted" a website you can open PDFs on that site without going through the above options. You can override this security by going to Safari preferences and clicking the Security tab, then the Manage Website Settings option. There you can turn off this security measure and allow all sites to use the Adobe Reader plugin. Or you can set specific sites to allow or block the plugin.
Also make sure you have the latest Adobe plugin installed on your system.

  • Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

    I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.
    http://bit.ly/yrTN4R?r=qr
    Thanks,
    Gretchen

    Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
    * While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
    * None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

  • Hyperlinks within .pdf documents not working IMac Safari

    I am working with a website that displays several .pdf documents. The documents contain hyperlinks to urls. Everything works fine in other browsers, but in Safari, these hyperlinks do not work. The cursor does not change when it enters the hyperlink space, and nothing happens if the link is clicked. I am using an IMac running OS 10.6. 8 and Safari 5.1.10. I have tried both the native (Preview) option and a plug-in. Neither makes any difference. Can anyone suggest a fix other than abandoning Safari?

    I am a new user to OnLINE Adobe. My hyperlinks from Word
    documents do not transfer to the PDF files. Please help!!!

  • PDF links not working in Safari?

    I'm noticing that links in PDFs (made with Acrobat 9) are not accessible when viewing the PDF in Safari (although they do work in iBooks). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    I don't beleive Safari for iOS opens PDF documents natively. You may need a reader, such as Goodreader to open them.
    Correction - it does open the PDFs in the browser (but gives a choice of otherapps). My mistake

  • Hit highlighting (PDF) is not working with Safari

    We have been facing a weird problem with PDF documents displayed in Safari. This problem is reproducible in many of our machines. The problem is like this..
    Adobe Reader has support for hit highlighting in PDF documents when it is being viewed in any browser. For example,
    http://www.mysite.com/myfile.pdf#xml=http://www.somesite.com/words.txt
    This URL should highlight the words specified in words.txt file. But, unfortunately many of our Safari browsers (on Windows machines) don't highlight any text in opened pdf file. The same URL works fine in rest of the browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome). I could not figure out where the problem is!
    Can anybody please help me on this?
    Thanks in advance,

    Go step by step and test.
    1. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
        download  free AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here

  • Imbedded link to downloadable .PDF file not working in Safari

    Two questions:
    I imbedded a text link that is supposed to download a .PDF file from my iDisk. However, when I click the text link from my Safari browser I get this error message:
    "“A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?”
    When I retry by pasting my iWeb published page into Mozilla, the linked file downloads quickly with no problem. However, when I paste it into Internet Explorer's browser, it takes about 4 minutes to download!
    Second question: I can't seem to link an image that I inserted on a "My Photos" template page. There is no way to select the image--when I do, it just shows the "blue box" around the image but it doesn't actually select the image itself so I can link it.
    I was able to link images in my .Mac pages so I don't know why I can't on iWeb.
    If anyone wants to try it, here is the link to that page. ONLY CLICK ON THE BERMUDA AMEX TRAVEL PLANNER TEXT as that is the only link I've imbedded thus far. This page is obviously still under construction.

    This is correct, you cannot make the image holders hyperlinks. The solution is to put a Shape over the top of the image that you want to be a link, then Opn Inspector, Graphic Link and make the Opacity 1%, no more no less. Then make this shape a link. Beware that this image will still display in a slideshow and if you insert more images and it moves, the shape will not move with it.
    You may also want to click on the shape and then go Arrange > Bring to Front.

  • Llpp pdf viewer not working

    Hey!
    I can't get llpp to work on my computer. When I try launching it I get this error:
    silencer@overlord ~ $ llpp documents/Ebooks/Sound\ Systems\ Design\ and\ Optimization.pdf
    Fatal error: exception Failure("X connection failed maj=11 min=0 reason="No protocol specified\n"")
    I can't find why it doesn't want to start. Last time it worked was like 4-5 months ago. I thought it was xmonad's fault, since that was around the time I've upgraded to v. 0.10, so I've installed openbox to check it, but it wasn't working either. Like a month ago I've installed KDE for the sole purpose of testing if llpp will work with it and it did, so it doesn't seem to be llpp's fault, but rather some lib missing on my box. I spent some time examining what may it be, but haven't found anything. Even with KDE installed it was working only in KDE session, but not in Xmonad.
    Today I saw some people on the forums got it working with various WMs without any problems. I had hope something got fixed, but it still doesn't work on for me. I've installed KDE again, and this time it doesn't seem to work with KDE as well.
    Any ideas what may be causing this?

    i was able to find the cause and a solution:
    in my ~/.Xauthority file i had for whatever reason an auth-cookie with an invalid displayname, i.e. the output of
    % xauth list
    ##ffc3#: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 20122a69e9d74b9d020aea
    kafka/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 0122a69e9d74b9d020afb38
    on display :0, you should always have a hostname/unix:0 displayname entry but the ##ffc3#: entry is definitely wrong. it's not even possible to remove it with
    xauth remove "##ffc3#:"
    as should be the case. most programs seem to just ignore such an entry but obviously llpp choked on it, and aborted the search for a valid auth cookie.
    well, if you just abandon your xsession by removing the file ~/.Xauthority and logging out and in again. the file will be recreated and llpp works like a charm.

  • YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

    YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
    I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

    You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

  • Skype click to call is not working in Safari 6 wit...

    My Skype click-to call is not working on Safari 6 with OS X 10.7.4.  The number highlights, but when I click on the number, nothing happens. I do have Skype installed on the computer and it works fine. I am running Skype for the mac 5.8.0.1027 and skype extension for safari 2.1.0.10405. I have two other macs which are running OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7 and the click to call (2.1.0.10405) works great on both of those. I can not get it to work on the mac running Lion. Any help? Thanks

    I reverted back to Safari 5.1.7 from Safari 6 and now Click To Call works.
    For anyone wondering how I did this, you can view instructions here:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/posts/59342/revisions
    I am new to using Macs and was able to follow these simple instructions. Takes a while for Pacifist to install 5.1.7, but it's worth it to have Click To Call working now.
    You will not be able to do this if you have Mountain Lion as Mountain Lion requires Safari 6.
    Lastly, the next time you update your Mac and it asks if you want to upgrade to Safari 6, say NO. At least not until you see that a fix has been posted here in these forums by either Skype or Apple.
    P.S. I posted this reply using OSX 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7

  • PDF hyperlinks not working on app

    I have pasted a PDF (with working links) on a folio page (folios done in PDF format). The page is uploaded but all links on the original PDF are not working once I view it on the app.
    So I'm guessing folios with pasted PDFs on them don't transfer hyperlink properties to the final app? Even thought I've made the folio in PDF format? Does this mean I have to use boxes to create hotspots over the pasted PDF? Is there a way to transfer these properties from the original PDF and skip the hotspot step?
    Thanks.

    You're right -- the placed PDF loses all its interactivity even when it becomes part of a PDF article. You'll need to add buttons over the PDF as you describe. Also, keep in mind that the Show/Hide Buttons action isn't supported in DPS, so you'll need to use a combination of buttons and MSOs to create hotspots, as described in this article:

  • Javascript is not working in Safari on my iPad, version 6.1.3. Anyone know why?

    I have an iPad with os version 6.1.3.  Javascript on websites is not working in Safari. Does anyone know why? How can I correct this situation?

    It is jquery libraries that are not functioning properly and some of the html.  I have Javascript turned on.  The website was working in Safari.  I tested it in Safari and I viewed it many times using Safari and it worked.  I went on to it on 5/8/13 and the javascript/jquery portion and parts of the html are not working.  It had been tested about 4 or 5 months ago in several diffierent versions of IE, Chrome, Mozilla and Safari. 
    Thanks for responding to my question

    sorry for the slow reply.
    The problem did happen as soon as I installed 10.6. As I still work in 10.5 as well I do a lot of switching between the two. The problem has never appeared on 10.5, and has now stopped happening on 10.6
    Do you still have the issue after a reboot? I have not had the issue since I posted this topic and nothing has changed on my pack
