Preview webpage in Safari

Have created a PDF Portfolio (Acrobat Pro 9.0), that when previewed in Safari (4.0.3) generates an error message as follows:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser
Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again"
Then when I close out Safari it hangs, and when the program closes I get a Data Execution Prevention warning. Ironically enough, the browser created by (as is appropriately put) from the 'Evil Empire' runs it without so much as a hiccup. The portfolio is an integral part of what I am trying to post as it is an augment to my resume.
Any thought or suggestions on how to correct this error?

Maybe it has something to do with Safari's new feature that opens pdf's in the browser itself. You can turn this off and see.
In Terminal run this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To change it back, replace 'YES' with 'NO'.

  • Web links open Preview instead of Safari

    My mum has a Mac mini running 10.3.9 and it's developed this problem: when she clicks, a link to a web page (in an email for example), instead of the the page opening in Safari, the application Preview starts up (with no document open) instead.
    Here's what I've done, none of which has made any difference:
    Used Disk Utility to repair permissions (twice) and restarted.
    I opened Safari, went to a website then dragged the URL to the desktop to make a webloc file. When I double-clicked this file, Preview started up. I Got Info on the file and its default app was Finder. I changed this to Safari and checked 'Change all'. Get info on the file now shows Safari as its default app, but double-clicking the file still starts Preview, not Safari. If I CNTRL-click the file and choose 'Open with' and choose 'Safari (default)', the file does open with Safari. But if I double-click it - or click any link in any app. which should normally open a webpage in Safari - Safari is unaffected and Preview starts up instead.
    I'm stumped. Any ideas what I should do next?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Steve,
    In addition to Niel's advice above, you might want to take this opportunity to download a more internet compatible browser for your mother to use such as Camino 1.6.10 (freeware). Make sure to download the 1.6.10 for 10.3.9 OS. Safari v1.3.2 for 10.3.9 cannot be upgraded any further whereas Camino was updated by it's developers further for 10.3.9 and will handle many more web features that Safari 1.3.2 can no longer handle.
    If your mother prefers Safari, for some reason, she will need to upgrade the OS to a later version, by purchasing a later retail version to handle newer web features and changes to internet sites. That will allow her to use a later version of the Safari browser.
    10.3.9 works fine, though, for most usage and Camino is an excellent browser. So if you don't see the need to upgrade the OS at this point Camino can be customized to look and feel almost identical to Safari 1.3.2 albeit with the addition of how it handles more modern internet features using 10.3.9.
    You likewise, as with Safari, can change the default web browser to Camino, similarly, once downloaded.
    Hope that helps some,

  • Previewing PDFs in Safari WITHOUT downloading

    Before downloading Adobe Creative Suite yesterday I was abe to preview in Safari (not Preview) without downloading them first. Then after downloading CS I got an error telling me there was a missing plugin. I researched the problem here and removed the offending Adobe plugin from my Library, but now when I click on a PDF instead of being able to preview it in Safari first and then decide if I need to download it, it just automatically downloads and opens on Preview. I'm in school and there are hundreds of PDFs we need to read. I don't want to have to download every one of them onto my local machine to read them...

    Hi George
    depending on if they're regular direct links - Option clicking them all is the quickest w/o adding any software.
    http://www.sitesucker.us/mac.html may be useful - you'd need to remove the non-pdf files afterwards, but that's very quick if Finder is displaying them by file type.
    I've seen a more customisable application, that you could likely say 'just pdf's from this page' to - if I recall it I'll post again.

  • Print Part of a Webpage in Safari?

    Does anyone know how to print only a section of a webpage in Safari?
    An example of what I mean is in Internet Exploder under Windoze, you can highlight a section of a web page and then select Print Selected to get a printout of only the information you want.
    Anyone know if Safari can do this task?

    Brien,
    The Safari>Services>TextEdit>New Window Containing Selection will open TextEdit (or any other Services aware text editor) with the text you have selected.
    You can also use the Shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen, or the Grab Utility to take partial (no text edit available) screen pictures.
    ;~)

  • Can you block webpages with safari

    i was wondering if there was a way to block certain webpages with safari, i kno that you can make it so that a user can only view certain webpages, but that would mean blocking everything but the page that i dont want viewed.

    Hi yes you can but you need to have the administrator account and you can only specify pages for user accounts. If this is the case then:
    In 'safari' go to 'preferences' and 'secuirty' tab. Click 'Enable parental controls'. However this only works in Safari. If you want to stop people viewing pages in other browsers you'll need to set-up on that application or prevent them from accessing it all together in System Preferences.
    Hope this works

  • How to display source code of a webpage in Safari 7.0?

    Hello. I'm unable to find how we used to once enable developing tools in Safari Preferences or simply CMD + ALT + A to display the source code of a webpage. Now I've no clue how to display source code of a webpage in Safari 7.0 on Mac OS X Mavericks. Help.

    Hi gss2,
    Make sure you are not under the Apple icon but under Safari>Preferences>Advanced. All the way at the bottom check the box that says: "Show Develop menu in menu bar."
    Now go back to the page you want to get the source code for, right click on it and choose Inspect Element. Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • How do i FIND a word on a webpage in safari 7?

    Since updating to ios 7, I can't figure out how to find a word on a webpage in Safari. In the older version, I could click on the Search box and search the webpage on the screen for a word or phrase. Surely this great feature that's been standard on all browsers for years is in the new Safari, and I just can't find it. Please help. TIA!

    Click on the url bar and delete the url address. You can then type in what you are searching and it will be labeled "On This Page".

  • Others can view my webpage in Safari, but I cannot

    I have my own personal website www.naturalyoga.com which was created on WordPress. I own the domain name. On my Mac computer, I cannot view the webpage in Safari. However, it works in Firefox. Others have tried it as well and it also works in Explorer and Firefox on PC's. Another Mac user could view the webpage in Safari on their computer.
    Would this indicate a break in the code somewhere? Or is there some confirgured wrong with my Mac that is not allowing me to view it?

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
    I can view it no problem so try trouble shooting. BTW, beautiful web site!
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    Make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.

  • Unable to load webpage in Safari that loads fine in Windows XP

    I can not load a webpage in Safari that loads fine in Windows XP. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    They may be doing some checking of the user agent information the web browser sends and handling Safari incorrectly. Try changing the user-agent to, say, Firefox 3.0.5 and see if you can then access the page.
    To change the user agent, you need to enable the Develop menu. This can be done via the Advanced section of the Safari preferences. In the new menu that appears at the top of the screen, you can then select an alternate user agent.
    This setting only lasts as long as the tab remains open, so everytime you open a new tab you will need to change that setting from the default.
    If that does help, send feedback to the bank about their site not working correctly with Safari. The only browsers they recommend are Netscape 4.5 and IE 5.0 which are both about 10 years out of date

  • Refreshing a webpage in Safari will sometimes load an older version of that same page. Anyone expieriencing this same issue?

    I will sometimes refresh a webpage in safari and it presumably loads that page's cached version because the content is days old. Anyone else expieriencing this? I have an iPad 2, iOS5.01.

    If you go to Settings >Safari then clear it all,that should help. Also if that does not work try resetting your iPad by holding down the home button and the sleep wake button till the Apple logo appears then let it wake up.

    Vanessa, did you try the suggestions already mentioned in this thread?
    Never post your email address in a public forum. Spam bots roam public forums looking for "spam victims".
    If you insist on using your email address in a public forum & you want to "trick" the spam bots, then suggest that instead of using "@ "in the email address, use instead the actual word AT.
    Regarding responding to your emal addy, we ask that you post all questions to the appropriate discussion forum. This allows other users and other helpers to have a chance to view and respond to your post. That way, everyone benefits from the exchange.
