PDFs  not displaying in Safari for Windows (7)

I am not able to view PDF files from within Safari. When I click on link to a PDF file in Safari for Windosws (v 5.1), Safari just opens a blank window. The address bar shows the correct link,
I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat installed on the machine. I have tried to reinstall Reader, hoping that a pluging would be installed, but to no avail.

I'm confused by your post number 5. You said that IE10 was opening the right pane, which I read as opening with the content.
The RoboHelp 9 fix was written by a highly respected user who I believe applied the same code.

  • Webhelp right pane not displaying in IE10 for Windows 7

    Hello,
    I'm using Robohelp 9 - HTML, and generating Webhelp using IE10 on Windows 7. When I generate the help, the default topic displays. However, if I click any page within a book, the right-pane displays blank. But, if I make the browser window smaller, the content displays in the right-pane. After which, maximizing the browser, the content continues to display in the right-pane, as expected. Any thoughts on why the right-pane content doesn't display initially?
    Thanks,

  • Uploading files to website not working with Safari in Windows 7

    Safari version: 5.1.7
    OS: Windows 7
    Hi,
    I am a website owner, and I have a feature on my site where users can upload large (up to 50MB) music files to my server. The feature works in Firefox on OSX & Windows platforms and it also works in Safari on OSX. The uploading feature is not working with Safari for Windows. Do you have any idea why and how to fix this? It can't be an issue with my server as it works in other browsers fine and works fine in Safari for OS X.
    If you have any information on how to solve this or things for me to try to rectify this for use with Windows operating system it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    GREAT NEWS!!!!
    I have solved this issue myself with some help from my a user on Microsoft Forums. The issue stems from the mime type of each Browser Chrome, IE, & Safari for Windows defaults as audio/wav. When the mime type is changed to audio/x-wav everything works. Firefox defaults to audio/x-wav and when changed to audio/wav it DOES NOT work.
    Once I input some code in my .php upload page to change the mimetype if audio/wav is detected everything works GREAT!!!
    So Here is what you need to do: Find your upload page and input this code:
    echo "<p>MIME Type: ".$_FILES["file"]["type"]."</p>";   
    right before your "If/then" statement of file type. For me it was near line 30 in my upload.php page, but I'm sure this is different for everyone.
    This will detect and DISPLAY the default mime type of your browser on the error page when your upload doesn't work. Once you know what mime type works for your file type then you can change your "if/then" statement for mime type upload to change your mime type to the correct one.
    I don't want to give the code here, because I'm sure it's specific to your file types and your site construction, but this should lead you on the right track.
    ***This is the solution if you ARE NOT ABLE to upload any certain file in a certain Browser. It has to do with mime type construction***
    I hope this helps others like it helped me!!!!!

  • Safari for windows cannot open PDF files

    I'm posting this topic because it was archived in 2009 without a solution.
    When clicking a pdf link in Safari for windows (4.0.3) it opens a new window but does not show the pdf. The window remains blank with "canceled opening page" in the status bar.
    For me this hangup was caused by the environment variables TEMP and TMP being set to an inaccessible location.
    Basically, to open a pdf file Safari needs to safe it to a temporary location. Then Adobe reader can open it from that location. The location is set in the environment variables TEMP and TMP. For me they were set to "D:\Temp", however D was a CD drive hence the file could not be saved let alone opened.
    Solution: Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced tab>Environment Variables then check/change the user variables TEMP and TMP to something you are sure is accessible like "C:\Temp".
    If this solution works for you please write up a response. Good luck.

    There needs to be a way in Safari (or in Acrobat or Windows) to say "if you download a PDF file from Safari, launch Acrobat and open that file."
    I'm not on a Windows machine to check at the moment, but in the Mac version you can set in the Safari preferences an option to 'Open safe files after downloading'. I wouldn't be surprised if this were missing from the Windows version though due to the additional security implications this could have on Windows. There is no ability to configure different files types to be opened by specific applications from within Safari, unlike Firefox for example.
    You can however open files simply by double clicking the icon in the Downloads window that Safari pops up when a download occurs.
    ... how I tell Apple there needs to be an option to allow Safari to push streamed or downloaded file types to their correct creator application?
    On a Mac, Safari menu -> Report Bugs to Apple...
    On a Windows PC, Safari Help Menu -> Report Bugs to Apple... (I think)

  • Safari for Windows is NOT compatible with Unicode 3.1 CJK characters!

    This is an "old" problem since Safari for Windows was initially released. In the meantime, the problem is still not fixed in the latest version 4.0.3 (531.9.1).
    Not only Safari (for Windows) does not properly show homepages that contain Unicode 3.1 CJK characters, but it also fails to show Unicode 3.1 CJK characters (it shows "squares" instead) in the whole application, such as Search box and all dialog boxes. Will this be fixed in the next release?
    By the way, it is strange that Safari 4 for Mac is Unicode 3.1 compatible.

    To speak more precisely, the Safari for Windows doesn't support CJK characters of Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B.
    The following test illustrates the incompatibility of Safari for Windows:
    1. Sample text displayed in Firefox 3.0.2 on Fedora 9.

    2. Sample text displayed in Safari 3.x/4.x on Windows XP with "MingLiu Ext-B" (an Ext-B font provided by Microsoft) installed.

  • Can't open pdf files in Safari for Windows

    Hi, I haven't been able to open pdf files in Safari - each time I click on a pdf link, a new tab opend and then a pop-up window says "can't open Adobe" (or something like that), and then Safari crashes. I've read that the solution is to install Adobe Reader 8, but I can't because I already have Adobe Acrobat which doesn't seem to work with safari. Does anyone know a way to view pdf files in Safari for windows?

    Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

  • Trouble with PDF files in Safari for Windows

    I downloaded Safari for Windows at work on my XP machine because I much prefer the Safari interface. The problem that I am having is that one of the web-based programs that I use at work does reports in PDF format and when I click on the link for a report Safari is popping up a window that says the document doesn't exist. Of course, the document does exist and my Internet Explorer and Safari for Mac that I have at home both view these reports with no problems through Safari. I have the most up to date version of Adobe Reader 8, and when I check the installed plugins through the help menu on Safari it shows that the Adobe plugin is installed. So, I have no clue how to get this to work, but if I can't get it fixed soon I'm gonna have to switch back to Internet Explorer (which I don't want to do). Can anyone help???

    Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

  • How do I view pdfs in Safari for Windows?

    Have to use Windows 7 at work. Fortunately, I can at least use Safari as my browser. Unfortunately, I can't view pdfs in Safari for Windows but I can with FireFox and IE. Any way to resolve?

    What happens when you try to view a pdf file on Safari? In my experience Safari has never worked well in Windows. Use a browser you know works.
    Did you check for a PDF reader plugin for Safari?

  • Javascript works on Safari for Windows but not on Safari for Mac (2.0.4)

    One part of our mail's web-based interface is not working properly when I use Safari on Mac (2.0.4). However, it works on Safari for Windows and Firefox. I browsed through a lot of the forum entrees with java/javascript on the subject and it seems that java processing is a common problem. I have checked all the necessary settings suggested on the forums but it still does not work.
    We tried using the new Safari on another machine and it works. However, I also see lots of forum entrees asking how to uninstall Safari 3!
    I also have a window on the open-source SugarCRM not working properly on Safari 2.0.4. Any fix coming?

    I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

  • Print as pdf in safari for windows

    When I print an article from the web as a pdf file with safari for windows, the PC creates by default a non-text file that I have to convert into a text file in order to access/highlight etc. the text. Both with Safari for Mac and with IE I directly get a text pdf. What can I do to make Safari for Windows to do the same thing by default?
    Thanks for any help!

    It sounds like you're confused. Windows has no built-in capability to create anything as a PDF file, so I don't see how you would get one unless you had Acrobat Pro installed.
    If you want to be able to save web pages as PDF files, you need to install a PDF writer in your system, which would let you do that via any web browser. You can download a free PDF driver here: CIB PDF Brewer.

  • Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication

    Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication enabled. The IIS log has thousands of login attempts from Safari that result in 401 errors.
    I disable Windows Authentication on IIS and it works fine. The problem with that is that my Windows clients stop working properly with seemless logins when I disable this.
    The expected behavior is that Safari will work with basic authentication when NTLM does not work. That would result in a password prompt followed by a successful login instead of Safari stopping at "Loading" while hammering the IIS logs.
    It does this on all machines that I have tried.
    Any ideas or is this a bug?

  • Keyboard not working properly in safari for windows

    I just started using Safari for windows and been using it for a couple of days.  Today when I attempt to enter text, the letters will not register on the screen and when I hit the spacebar the screen scrolls down.  Very frustrating.  I have checked other applications and do not have this problem.

    Apple no longer supports Safari for Windows >   Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari
    Use IE or Chrome instead.

  • IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites?

    IOS 8 - pictures not uploading in safari for facebook and other websites? I just upgraded to IOS 8 on my iPad 3 retina display and when I try to upload pictures in safari for facebook, the picture upload just stalls and never completes. This happens in other sites as well. How can I fix this? Is anyone also experiencing this issue???

    Hi Hindhaughlee, <br />Thanks for the post.
    This may not be the best place to post such a solution but maybe some users will find it. If it turns out to be a major problem with a simple solution maybe we will manage to document it somewhere.
    Are you able to provide more details please:
    * exactly what software and software versions is the problem with ? <br /> You appear to be a Windows 8 user, but presumably the Kaspersky software may be applicable to other Windows versions, which Kaspersky software is this tested with ?
    * What is he exact error message or warning that Kaspersky generates in this situation ?
    * is the problem documented elsewhere, preferably in a public open site, if so maybe you could provide a link
    * can you detail simple but exact detailed Steps To Reproduce that will enable others to test out this problem and solution.
    Cheers
    John <br /> <sub>One of the forum moderators J99<sub>
    P.S. <br />
    Anyone with this problem finding that the solution works may wish to vote for this thread and solution. Or if someone else can produce links to examples of this or you are able to give precise Steps To Reproduce please add a post of your own.
