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.

  • 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?

  • How do I print to PDF in safari for iOS?

    When I shop on my MacBook, I like to save my receipts as a PDF. This way I can easily search and consult them later, and don't have to go to the trouble of physically printing and filing them.  How do I do this when I make the purchases in Safari on my iPad 2? So far, I've only identified 3 options, none of which really meets my needs:
    1) Take a screen shot of the receipt page. This is unacceptable because the image file is not searchable the way a PDF is, and also because I can't always fit everything on one screen, meaning two images or more are necessary for one receipt.
    2) Make all my purchases through a 3rd party program like Print2PDF. Unfortunately, this means giving up use of Safari whenever I want to shop.
    3) Print out a paper copy of the receipt. Ick.
    Is there a feature or option I'm missing? I just want to select Share > Print in Safari and be able to select Print to PDF.
    Thank you.

    The PDF port is not sharable between systems, not even on the same machine. You'd need to buy a second copy of Acrobat for use in the virtual machine.

  • 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?

  • 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???

  • 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 printing only blank pages

    Safari for Windows 5.1.1 will only print blank pages from my PC. Every other app prints perfectly to my networked printer and the printer shows up in Safari, but nothing on the paper. Any help??

    Never was able to fix it, Juan. Safari just would not print on my Windows computer.
    But I finally found another solution. I've switched from Windows computers to Macs and now I have none of those compatibility issues. I do have a few others from time to time, but no more Windows issues.
    Buena suerte amigo

  • Very poor implementation of XMLHttpRequest streaming with Safari for Window

    I hope this post reaches Apple engineers. This is critical for us to resolve this. I am a member of the developer network, so if using incident support is necessary, it can be used. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I have implemented a test to compare XMLHttpRequest streaming performance for different browsers. Safari for Windows 5.0.3 had the worst results compared to Chrome and Firefox. Furthermore, I think this problem was introduced after Safari 3. The test consists of a server pushing messages of about 350 bytes to the browser at a rate of about 300/s. Once server pushes 10,000 messages, it closes the connection and browser opens new one repeating the cycle. There were several problems associated with Safari: 1) Safari could not process much more then 300 messages/s, that is quite low. Chrome had no problem processing 1,000. If, for example, 500 m/s was used, Safari would quickly allocate hundreds of meg of memory and crash. 2) Safari starts with about 64MEG of memory allocated. Once the test page is opened, memory quickly climes to 150MEG and as test progresses to >400MEG. Once the connection closes, it drops to 150MEG again. Chrome's memory did not fluctuate at all staying at 32MEG for the same test. 3) CPU was steadily claiming as test progressed and then dropped as connection was reset, creating CPU spikes. It reached about 50% CPU before connection was closed. Chrome's CPU stayed at about 2% all the time. This is the code: Server. Should be run with the latest Java Tomcat 7. Configure Tomcat to use Http11NioProtocol: package test; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometEvent; import org.apache.catalina.comet.CometProcessor; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class WebFrameworkServletXHRReconnects extends HttpServlet implements CometProcessor { @Override public void event(CometEvent event) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpServletRequest request = event.getHttpServletRequest(); HttpServletResponse response = event.getHttpServletResponse(); if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.BEGIN) { System.out.println("Begin for session: " + request.getSession(true).getId() + " " + response.getWriter()); response.setHeader("pragma", "no-cache,no-store"); response.setHeader("cache-control", "no-cache,no-store,max-age=0,max-stale=0"); event.setTimeout(Integer.MAX_VALUE); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("mm:ss: "); for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { out.print("{\"messageType\":8448,\"requestId\":"0",\"eventType\":1,\"symbolId\" :[\"BAC.EA\",0],\"fields\":[{\"header\":"0",\"type\":6,\"data\":[3993,2]},{\"hea der\":"55",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1185,2]},{\"header\":54,\"type\":6,\"data\":[321 8,2]},{\"header\":"5",\"type\":6,\"data\":[6617,2]},{\"header\":52,\"type\":4,\" data\":[15]},{\"header\":"12",\"type\":6,\"data\":[1700,2]}]}"); out.flush(); if (i % 10 == 0) { try { //Thread.sleep(60); Thread.sleep(30); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } if (i % 100 == 0) { System.out.println(formatter.format(new Date()) + i); } } out.close(); event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.ERROR) { event.close(); } else if (event.getEventType() == CometEvent.EventType.END) { event.close(); } } } client: <script type="text/javascript" src="log4js.js">

    Yes, the question was not directed at you, even if I might have appreciated if you had made something up, just to make me happy.
    The question was more directed at Apple, who have not been brilliant with the communication regarding Safari for Windows. Example: For several days they proudly presented Safari for Windows on the main page of their Japanese web site, even though one of the most glaring limitations was that the first betas would not work in Japanese - at all.
    In contrast to many people in this forum, I do not mind that there are serious limitations and bugs in the beta. However, I am disappointed that Apple does not list the problems up front.

  • Installation of Safari for Windows 5.1.7 fails

    I have been setting up a new PC with Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium). I have gotten QuickTime (32-bit) 7.7.3 and iTunes (64-bit) 10.6.3.25 installed apparently successfully (at least, iTunes works). But the Safari for Windows 5.1.7 installer gives the error message "This installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows.  Please obtain the 64-bit installer from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html." and will not finish. I downloaded and apparently successfully installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows 2.0.2, but Safari still will not install. Does anyone have advice about how to get past that error?

    For anybody following the question posted here in this Community: I also posted my question in a different Community, where I received one reply and have posted updates:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20534176#20534176
    Nothing I have done has been successful, however, so Safari 5.1.7 for Windows could not be installed.

  • Looking for a high-contrast extension for Safari for Windows

    First of all,what do we call them - extensions or plugins?
    Is there an extension for Safari for Windows for high-contrast? I can't find one anywhere. Windows 7 is set to a HC theme. IE just follows suit. Chrome detected this, ad offered to install a theme.
    Don't know why, but I still prefer Safari on my Win7 system. But really need HC. One that just inverts the colors would work, but one with several other options like the Chrome extension would be better.

  • Safari for Windows 7 - Where can I get a safe download?

    I want to download Safari for my Windows 7 PC.  I cannot find 5.1.7 on the Apple website.  Is that the one that I should be looking for?  If so, where can I get a download of it that won't include a bunch of garbage.
    Or, if there is a version that I can download from Apple, which version should I choose? 
    A hyperlink would be greatly appreciated.

    Safari for Windows was discontinued a couple years ago.  By now it's outdated, not standards compliant, etc..  There's no reason why you should use it.
