PDF won't open - Safari 4

I'm trying to print a PDF statement from my bank but the PDF doesn't display. Clicking on the link opens another Safari window which shows it downloading... and then nothing. The PDF toolbar displays but clicking on the 'Open in Preview' and Save To Folder' doesn't work (just get that sound). It's worked before, and I'm quite certain with Safari 4 and OS X 10.5 8. Right-clicking only shows 'Copy Link'.

Try deleting the Adobe PDF plugin in the Library/Internet Plugins folder. Quit Safari first.

SOME pdfs won't open...

Dear all,
My problem is kind of odd as you can see in the title...
So some pdfs won't open neither in web browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) nor in Preview. The odd part is that some do open normally both in browsers and Preview.
I deleted the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin but it doesn't solve the problem.
Anyone has an idea about what can be wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Poteyuh
NB: I have a mac mini with Maverick on it and a MacBookPro (13" Mid 2009) with OS X 10.7.5

Can you send the PDF form you are trying to import to [email protected] so we can take a look at it.

PDF won't open in iBooks

PDF won't open in iBooks open appears open for a second then disappears.

I just updated to the latest update 4.3.2 and it works fine! Apparently something in the 4.3.1 update caused it to not work.

PDFs won't open in Safari; blank screen with Quicktime logo opens instead

When I click on a link to a PDF file within a Safari browser window, the PDF file does not open (in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader) as desired, or as it once did. Rather, now a new window opens with a Quicktime logo showing agains an otherwise blank white field and no other info is present. I can't seem to open any PDF files from any web source, nor can I right click to download them to my computer for opening later. I have read other postings on this subject, and upon opening my library/internet plug-ins folder, I find that no plug-ins at all are present.
How can I get Safari to open PDFs normally? I can't seem to find any relevant preference settings in either Safari or Acrobat which have any effect on this problem.
My operating system is 10.3.9, and my version of Safari is 1.3.2. My version of Acrobat reader is 7.0.9, and my version of Acrobat is 5.0.5. Thanks for any advice...!

PDF Won't open for my colleagues from Mavericks.

Hey everyone I have a pretty interesting issue that I have contacted Adobe and Apple about but to no avail...
ISSUE
PDF's won't open when I send them via email (all email clients) on OS X Mavericks, but will open when I send them via PC (all email clients), flash drives or any other means.
Note: Will open on every other platform; OX Mountain Lion, PC, and all email clients not using Mavericks. I have sent out these PDF's for months now (before upgrading to Mavericks) and never had this problem.
WHAT I'M SEEING
The file is 155kb but when emailing from Mavericks it says 0 bytes.
"Acrobat could not open "file name" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."
ENVIRONMENT
Adobe Reader (Not sure what versions my colleagues have)
Tested on Both Windows xp/vista/7/8 and OS X all versions
STEPS TAKEN THAT HAVEN'T WORKED
Resaved the file.
Stored it in a different location.
Sent from different email clients on Mavericks
Rebooted and tried again
Updated everything
Uninstall/reinstall
If anyone has any idea on how to identify a fix for the issues, I would greatly appreciate your help. The problem with the idea that the files are corrupt, is that there I have tested out every possible way to prove the file is curropted and to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Well I found out the update I reinstalled Safari from(the latest combo update) wasn't working because it was installing an incomplete copy of the application. My friend sent me his copy of Safari and it worked again so my issue is solved. It had to have been user-specific because Safari still worked for other users but in the process of removing my user's Safari related things I probably went too far and that's why I messed it up further. Copying his Safari into my apps folder(and fixing the accounts in its privileges) has solved my problems for that.

Links to web page in any mail message will cause Mail app to hang, and won't open Safari.

Repeatable problem on iPhone or iPad.
Any link to a web page will cause Mail to lock up and become unresponsive, and won't open the web page in Safari.
The only way out of this is to back out to the home screen, double-click on the home button, then select the Mail app icon, holding it until I can "close" it. I can then relaunch Mail and look at any message I want just like normal. But if select any link, whether a text link or a picture in an email, the whole thing happens again.
Occurs on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad both running iOS 6.0.1.
Any suggestions that will allow me to go directly from a mail msg to a linked web page embedded within?

You ran a defective third-party "utility" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Embedded PDF won't open in IOS 7

For months i create EPUB books with embedded PDF files. This way i created product documentation with a french and Dutch extended information file. So when a customer calls i could easily give advise for my products. This worked with a charm till IOS 6.1 and Ibooks.
After my boss updated his iPad to IOS 7 in stead of opening the embedded PDF files iBooks opens a screen with weird text just like would happen as you open a pdf file with notepad....
Is the reason that there were changes in linking to open embedded files.
JPG files open as in the past using an embedded picture viewer i think...
Can there something be done so iBooks will use an internal PDF reader and read the pdf without opening it leaving ibooks which takes to much time.
Thanks in advance for the help
Danny

The plugin is where I said it was. You're looking in the wrong place. Let's try again.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
A Finder window will open with that item selected. Delete it, then quit and relaunch Safari.

PDF won't open in FireFox/IE on XP SP3 if Rdr9.3x and Acrobat 6.06

I've been fighting this for a few days. The platform is a windows XP SP3 domain client with Acrobat 6.0.6 and Acrobat Reader 9. (The platform was recently re-installed from scratch owing to malware infestation and is now "pristine".)
I discovered that if I install Acrobat Reader 8 PRIOR to installing Reader 9, PDF files will open in the browser windows. BUT, if Reader 8 is NOT installed prior to Reader 9, the PDF file won't open and a commonly reported error message occurs.
FireFox shows that when the viable installation sequence (as above) is followed, the Adobe Acrobat Plugins installed include support for mime types: pdf, vnd.adobe.pdfxml, vnd.adobe.x-mars, vnd.fdf, vnd.adobe.xfdf, vnd.adobe.xdp+xml, and vnd.adobe.xfd+xml. If Reader 8 is NOT installed prior to Reader 9, only the pdf mime type.
The PDFs that were the immediate cause of all this trouble were PDF forms with blanks to fill-in -- if that makes a difference.
The symptoms are reproducible.
Also, if you have Reader 9 installed and are experiencing this problem, simply uninstall it, install Reader 8, then install Reader 9. The required MIME type support seems to be supplied by the Reader 8 installation and stays around when Reader 9 is installed.
Hope this helps some folks.

When I scan in color the PDF won't open.

When I scan a document in 24-bit color or in True Gray with either Adobe Reader 10.1.4 or 11.0.4 It gives me an error message saying I don't have permission to write to that folder. This happens no matter what folder I try to write to. It does create a file of the pdf scan but the file won't open; the error message says the file is damaged.
However if I scan in B&W or in Gray with Error Diffusion everything works fine.
This problem appeared suddently with no apparent cause.

You may want to talk to whomever makes your scanning software. You don't "scan" with Adobe Reader. You simply use it to open files after the fact and it sounds like the scanner software is corrupting the files.

PDFs won't open directly from emails

Using Mac OS X 10.6.6, running Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.1.
I have associated the PDF file format with Acrobat, using the Get Info menu, but cannot open PDFs directly from internet, emails, or by double-clicking on a PDF on my computer.
In order to open a PDF, I have to first save the PDF and then open it in Acrobat from the File > Open menu.
If anyone has a suggestion, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The version of system X for Mac really doesn't Matter. If you use any web Browser from Mozilla. SeaMonkey, FireFox, Camino and any Browser that uses the Gecko web engine, that normal.
Safari, iCab, and others that use Webkit take advantage of the included Adobe PDFviewer Plugin. PDF's except some types are shown directly. There are some types no matter how you have browser is set, will always be download first, before viewing the PDF.
I've sent bug report, after Bug report, after Bug report to Adobe to fix this byt after trying since the days X.2.8 I Guess it is falling on deaf ears. Or perhaps the developers just don't know how.
Chrome handles PDF's differently.
There is a Plugin for Gecko based Browsers, that has been partially broken with AcrobatX on Forms with buttons that use a Graphic overlay. They don't work only the button without the graphic shows up.
Adobe has changed the way Graphics are inserted totally in AcrobatX, its almost impossible to insert a Graphic. In Acrobat 9 its as easy as falling off a log. You inserted Graphic the overlay the button over top.
The plugin that still works (except partially broken in AcrobaxtX) is called PDFBrowser Plugin by Shubert of Germany. It even works with Webkit Browsers. But not IE.

Pdf won't open because creative cloud membership expired

My creative cloud membership expired.
Now on that computer, PDF files won't open, a popup window opens says my creative cloud membership expired.
I didn't know Acrobat was tied to CreativeCloud.
Can someone help me understand this?

PDF won't open in AI CS2, but will in CS; error message

My colleague and I are trying to determine the cause of an issue which arose yesterday in the middle of production of a corporate proposal. A PDF document submitted by the client had a form page to be filled out. Since it was evidently a PDF made from scans of the original, non-PDF document--possibly 6-7 years old--we elected to open it in Illustrator, type in data in text box overlays on a separate layer, and save again as a PDF.
Using "open with AI", CS opened, not CS2 (both are loaded on the machine), and brought up an error box called
Illustrator PDF: Warnings / "The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted", and saying "This file was created with an unreleased version of PDF. Unexpected results may occur." The file opens, but the type is illegible at 100% (and clearly pixelated at 400%).
Attempting to open the PDF in Illustrator CS2 by any means produced a blank preview in the page preview box, and, once a page was selected, a blank the page, though the reading progress bar appears briefly.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

What kind of file is produced directly, before using Save as PDF in the Printer dialogue?
I am not certain I understand the question. This app prints calendars. I hope to use the print-driver's "Save to PDF" feature to produce PDF's. The app prints. The options in the print dialog determine if it goes to the printer or the disc.

Certain PDFs won't open in IE

I'm having a strange issue with PDF files and IE 6-8 on Windows XP. My company has a website that can be used to create invoices and receipts for members and display that invoice or receipt on the screen. When I try to do this from one specific computer, I see a second IE window flash up for a split second, and where I should normally see the invoice or receipt in either IE or Acrobat itself, the screen just disappears.
I've rolled back IE 8 to 7 and then 6, the issue stays through all versions. The issue is not related to checking or unchecking the "Open PDF in Browser" option in Acrobat's settings, I can toggle that setting all day and get the same issue on this site, but if I went to a regular PDF link the PDF file will open in the appropriate location based on what is selected. The issue is isolated to just IE, there isn't any problem using Firefox or Chrome from the same system.
When I talked to my coworker about how the PDF file is being delivered, from the server it is being pushed as a memory stream, which the way that he explained to me is that the PDF is never a file on the server, it is just in memory and pushed to the workstation that is requesting the invoice or receipt. Out of 100 computers in the building with the exact same configuration, this is the only one experiencing this issue.
As I have said, I have rolled back all versions of IE, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat X, even going through the manual uninstallation process to make sure that any previous versions of Acrobat were removed from files and registry keys, have verified that this problem is happening for any user account on the system not just the primary user, and have done pretty much everything that I can think of shy of reimaging the system to try to resolve this issue. Is there anything else that I can try to do before resorting to reimaging as a resolution? Thanks

PDFs won't open from websites

I can no longer open PDFs from websites. Can still do so when they are sent to me in emails. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader twice. Still no luck. When I click on the PDF another 'page' opens but it remains white (blank). I am operating Windows 7. Kepersky security and Internet Explorer.

Thanks Pat for your response. didn't work but I finally found the solution on another Forum. The problem is with Internet Explorer 9 and the solutions was:
"LAST EDIT - Not sure why this did not happen before but maybe it was an IE9 Update - If you to go Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and scroll to the bottom there is a check box for "Do not save encrypted files to disk" that Microsoft thought needed to be checked. However, if the file is encyrpted and the block is checked you can neither see it or download it. Worked like a charm when that block is unchecked. So nothing to do with Adobe, all to do with IE9."
Worked for me too!
