PDFs won't open in Safari

I have now Adobe Reader 9 installed, along with the old Adobe 8.
For a while I was asked to point to the correct Adobe application. That quit working for unknown reasons. I can no longer open bank statements and other statements in Safari --just the spinning grey wheel
How can I tell Safari that Adobe 9 is the default reader?

HI,
Open the Adobe Reader application then from the Menu Bar click Adobe Reader/Preferences
Select "Internet" under Categories
Where you see: Display PDF in browser using
Click the pop up menu and select Adobe Reader.

  • 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.

  • Pdf won't open in safari

    Hi,
    Since Mountain Lion I have a problem with safari. I hoped that upgrading to Mavericks would help, but it didn't.
    I cannot open pdfs within Safari on my iMac.
    I already saw other threads that helped many people with solutions but for me these doen't help.
    I already deleted the adobe plug ins from the library and there are no other plugins for pdf in this folder. In Safari from the menu "installed plug ins" I only see the WebKit built in and a plugin for Speed Download concerning the pdf files.
    I use OSX 10.9.0
    Safari 7.0
    Acrobat Reader 11.0.04
    I also have Glims installed.
    Does anybody have a clue what I can do.
    Thank you for your support.

    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.

  • 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...!

  • Mac - PDFs won't open in Safari

    My employer uses a system that uses online PDF forms.  It's not working on my system.  Running MacOS 10.6.4, Safari 5.0.1 (6533.17.8), and Adobe Reader 9.3.4.  I have removed Adobe Reader app, including the plugin in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, and re-installed Reader.  When I click on a pdf in the browser, it just downloads, and does not open in the browser.  How can this be resolved?

    In Snow Leopard, Safari is a 64-bit application.  But Adobe hasn't updated their plugin to run in 64-bit mode; that's why it's not loading in Safari.
    But you can force Safari to run in 32-mode, and then the Adobe plugin works as expected.
    Here's how:
    To do this,
    In the Finder go to your Applications folder, select Safari and do File->Get Info
    Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' in the General pane of that dialog, then close the "Safari Info" window.
    Relaunch Safari
    Now the Acrobat plugin will work as expected.
    There is one downside to this: When running in 64-bit mode, if a buggy plugin (like Flash) crashes, Safari itself keeps running.  But in 32-bit mode, if a buggy plugin causes a crash, Safari itself will crash.
    The real fix is for Adobe to update the plugin to run in 64-bit mode, since Snow Leopard has been out for over a year already!

  • 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.

  • 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

    https://www.formulaires.modernisation.gouv.fr/gf/showFormulaireSignaletiqueConsu lter.do?numCerfa=13754
    For instance, the pdf Formulaire 13754*02 on the right side won't open.

  • PDF won't open in iBooks

  • 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?
    Thanks

    5.1 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 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Links to MOV files from PDFs don't open in Safari

    I have a website that loads PDFs to the user's browser. In the PDF are links to Quicktime MOV files which open floating windows in which users can see videos. These work fine in both Firefox and Windows Internet Explorer on both of my Win 7 64-bit PCs. And they work in Safari on my son-in-law's Mac laptop, which runs OS 10.5.8, although not in Firefox on his laptop. The symptom is that the PDF (or browser) does not seem to even know that the cursor is positioned on a link; that is, the cursor does not change to a pointing finger as it should, and of course clicking on it has no effect.
    On my desktop G4 (867 MHz), booted to OS 10.5.8) the links are also not recognized as such (no pointing finger) in both Firefox AND Safari (version 4.0.2, although the download package claimed it was installing 4.0.5). Or rather the icon I downloaded claims to be Firefox, but appears merely to point to a Mozilla web page. So I suppose we don't know about Firefox. What we can say is that Safari 4.0.2 on my Mac G4 PowerPC tower with 10.5.8 booted functions like Firefox on my son-in-law's Mac 10.5.8 laptop - unawareness that the links even exist.
    Booting in OS 10.4.11 (which I can do from another hard drive on this G4 Mac), I have different problems. Firefox does load there (version 3.6.8), and goes to the main html page on the website. When links to the PDF files in that html page are clicked on, a choice between Acrobat Reader 7.0 and Acrobat Reader 9 is offered, but only Reader 7 will open - or claim to open: actually, although the title of the page is correct, all I see is a blank page.
    The PDFs do open in Safari (version 4.1.3) on this G4 booted to OS 11.4.11, and the links in the PDFs are recognized as such, but when I click on them the little Multimedia Player Finder window comes up, telling me I need to download the correct media player, even though Quicktime 7.6.4 is sitting just below on the dock, and opens the identical MOV files with no problem directly from the hard drive itself (actually a different hard drive, but wait...yes, it also opens fine when the MOV is copied to the hard drive on which the currently booted OS10.4.11 resides).
    Okay, so when I click on Get Media Player in that little Multimedia Player Finder window that opens when I try to go to a MOV link, I'm taken to Apple's website, which offers to download Quicktime Player 7.6.9 for Leopard. Drilling down to the appropriate version for Tiger 10.4.11 and downloading that, I find it knows it should install that to the same hard disk on which 10.4.11 resides, forsaking all others. Good. But when I install that and Restart, it's the same story as before: the PDFs load from the website into Safari, but when I click on one of the links in those PDFs to a MOV file I get the same Multimedia Player Finder window saying the media requires an additional player.
    Can anyone shed any light on these problems?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    >With Perian you just goto System Preferences>Other Row, right click or Control+click on Perian, choose Remove Perian Pref Pane.
    That sounds like Perian is NOT one of those you can just delete. How does one know which is which?
    >But Perian would only help if you want to display the movie in the Browsers.
    In fact, due to issues of publisher's permission regarding about half the video clips, for the present I would prefer the user  NOT to be able to download them, but only to be able to open them in the browser, or even better, in a floating window that's a child of the browser, as I specified to Acrobat, and as in fact happens on my Win 7 PCs.
    >Do you need PDFs to be downloaded, or could you do this in HTML and have the Movie links right on the site?
    I'd rather they NOT be downloaded, at least in the sense of winding up in the Mac's Download folder and opening in a separate window. I want them to open directly in the browser window, as the do in my Win 7. (MOre on this below.)
    As to HTML instead of a PDF, what I need is to be able to provide commentary about each video clip, which HTML could do just fine, and I could get free of the VERY troublesome problem that any time I make more than a trivial change to the text, I must re-link every stinking one of the MOVs in a time-consuming process. So far, however, all of my attempts to show video via the <OBJECT> or <EMBED> tags have either failed, or opened the clip directly in the page, not in a floating window as I prefer. I believe there's a new <VIDEO> (or is it <MEDIA>?)  tag in HTML 5 I may look into.

    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...  /private/var/run/StartupItems; /Library/StartupItems;
    /System/Library/StartupItems; /System/Library/LaunchDaemons; /Library/LaunchDaemons
    Thanks much for this tip. Indeed Protools itself is in the System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items folder, and I'll be removing it from there, but I'll still have the 'In use by another application' problem when I load Protools as a conscious choice. There's a bunch of Digidesign (a.k.a. Protools) stuff in /Library/StartupItems, but ... (I was about to say I would investigate further because Protools is notorious for placing files all over the place and not have a clean uninstall, but I just realized these are StartupItems  - meaning, I suppose, *boot-up* items, as opposed to any time one starts up Protools? If only boot-up, there should be no harm in deleting them.
    >I don't think that is any part of the problem.
    Thank goodness! Just guessing: can I assume that (in principle, at least) any app from a prior OS Applications folder should run in a later OS, but generally not vice versa? That's the default assumption in Windows. However, I know of at least one app I have that was written for OS 9 and they announce does not run in higher OS's, though to be honest I've never tried it.
    >The problem seems to be that the ones that do not display the links, or display the links but won't play it, are looking for the Movie file in the Download folder. No expert, but I kind of think it's some MS "stanrd" involved, which Apple trys to keep pace with, but...
    I'm convinced you have the right answer here  - except perhaps for the Microsoft part, because the 'Cannot play media because file not found' problem also occurs in Foxfire on my two XP PCs (although not in Internet Explorer where everything works properly on those two XP PCs). The evidence that you're right? I noticed an instance - TenFourFox when booted in 10.4, I believe  - where not only the links to the MOV clips have that problem, but also links from within one PDF to another PDF, which generally *were* working in most scenarios tested so far when the MOV clips were not. For what it's worth, the links to the other PDFs specify another folder on the server, while those to the MOV files specify no folder at all since they're all in the same folder as the PDF that links to them. Which is why the Mac assumes they must be in the Download folder. Depending on the situation, apparently, in some circumstances if you do specify a folder Mac figures it must be on the server if not found locally.
    In general, the problem seems to have a lot to do with browser configuration issues, including security, but I don't know what. Perhaps related, perhaps not: Every time I try to load a PDF in TenFourFox it asks me what app to open it with and I have to specify Acrobat Reader. I have found no way to load that as a plug-in (and even if I did, how to tell TenFourFox it should use it). The Get Add-on dialog lets you hunt for plug-ins but neither Acrobat Reader nor Quicktime show up when you ask for them in the Search box.
    But now... guess what?
    Today, suddenly, when I access the site with Safari while booted in 10.5.8, EVERYTHING IS WORKING! All the clips open, and they open in floating windows just like I want. This, remember, is the situation in which the links were not even recognized earlier. I have no idea which if any of the changes we've discussed could have brought this about. I've not even been able to find out how to tell Safari it should be using Acrobat Reader and Quicktime. But somehow, it is! (I'm not making this up, nor, despite my admission of memory lapses on occasion, is this a case of a memory lapse. I described this situation early in my initial post, when I had just verified it.)
