Printing PDF while in Safari

Recently I had to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Reader to view a PDF in Safari, previously I had no problem with other sites. The page is displayed normaly, except when I select "print" it's blank on the print page. I do not like Adobe Reader, it seems to cause mind boggling problems and I wish I could live with out it.

A few ideas for you:
Safari should work fine all by itself, in terms of opening pdfs.
Uninstall Acrobat reader.
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-ins and remove any plugins that have a hint of relating to pdf's.
ditto for ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins.
If you're still having problems with printing after that, I'd uninstall and then reinstall your print drivers.
On that subject, just install the printer driver with Software update, and get rid of any other manufacturer software or utilities for your printer.

Unable to print PDF Files in Safari 5.1

Hi,
1) Running Snow Leopard v10.6.8. Downloaded Safari v5.1. I now cannot print or save pdf files within Safari. I can view them okay, but the error message I get when trying to save a pdf file (which is a program document for a photo expo after it has loaded okay into Safari) is:
The document “BIFB broadsheet program.pdf” could not be exported as “BIFB broadsheet program.pdf”.
This is the same error message regardless of the pdf file downloaded into Safari (apart from the file name of course).
Also, trying to print any downloaded pdf results in a blank page full of black (rather than white). ie, I cannot print anything either.
2) Using Firefox v5.0.1, everything worked fine, ie. I can print and save pdf files without a problem.
3) Adobe reader is loaded on my system but I don't use it. I removed a plug-in for Safari called 'AdobePDFViewer.plugin' but it made no difference.
Any ideas?
I am a tad loathe to update to Lion at the moment and will wait for the next dot update.
regards
Steve

I visited a "genius" in the Apple Store, Leicester, this morning. After some playing around he seems to have sorted it. Apparently - now they tell me! - you don't need Adobe Reader on Macs as the Mac has its own pdf reader built-in. Safari 5.1 is now clashing with Reader and the best approach is to remove Reader - and the relevent preference files. I took one of my MBPs into the store and am just checking it out to see if everything is now ok. I'm now planning to make the changes on my other machine and will report back. (The genius said that my best approach was to bring in the second MBP but I'm not very convenient to Leicester so I'm going to give it whirl myself.)
Wish me luck.
But why did we load Reader in the first place? Are we that unusual in the Mac community? Surely, others must have done the same and are having the same problem with Safari 5.1???

Unable to print PDF download in Safari in Mavericks

I clicked on a link and it opened a PDF in Safari. However, I am unable to print it. This seems to have occurred after installing Mavericks. I have the latest Adobe Reader and the latest printer driver from CAnon for my Pixma i3600. How do I print this PDF open in Safari. Thanks for your help.

I solved this by going into my internet plugins folder and dragging the adobe pdf viewer plugins to the trash. Now when I open a PDF from Safari the file open in Reader. this enables me to print. Thanks to TheNerdGuy for responding.

Can't print PDF directly from safari!!

When a PDF opens in safari with Adobe Acrobat 7.0. I can't print it off. It will only print a page with the URL of the PDF file on it. I have to physically save the file, then open it in Adobe or Preview to print it.
Just updated to leopard.
Also, the little printing window that usually pops up on the dock when you print something and then quits itself after printing doesn't quit itself anymore. I have to actually select it and quit it myself. It's very annoying.
Thanks

Why can't I print PDF documents from Safari correctly

When we go online to get our credit card statements they are always in PDF format. My husband likes a paper copy so he can reconcile himself. When we print the document all we get are six very mini copies in the upper left corner of an 81/2 x 11 sheet.
This didn't use to be the case and I'm wondering if it has to do with Mavericks or an update to Safari. Does anyone know of a solution?

Logon to the website then click to "View" statements.
Then from the Safari menu bar click File > Export as PDF
Then print the PDF file that was downloaded to your Mac's hard drive.

Can't download or print pdf files

All of a sudden I can't download or print pdf files from Safari. When I try to download the file it says it can't export and then gives file name. I tried changing the file name with the same result. When I try to print, I just get a single blank page. I have reinstalled Safari. I thought it might be a problem with Adobe reader, but that works outside of Safari I did just install reader 10.1.3 and that is when I noticed the problem, but I reinstalled 10.1.1 and still have the same problem. Please help!!
Thanks
Scott

Thank You !!! Even I had the same problem... I used Folx downloader evry time to download the PDF file and open it using preview . Thanks You So much DN Scott & Scorbett.

Print a pdf from within Safari.

SORRY, will repost in safari for Mac
Hi
If I print pdf files from within Safari 4, the text does not print at all, only lines, tables and boxes.
If i save the same pdf file to the hard drive and open it with Adobe Reader, it prints perfectly. Is there anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
I am using SL, and a Lexmark c522 if it helps.
Thanks
Dave

Just doublechecking. Are other PDFs currently printing properly for you, George? (Say, if you're printing them directly from your Reader as opposed to printing them through Safari's Adobe PDF plugin?)

Slow system while printing PDF's

when printing PDF's to any of several printers (letter or tabloid sizes)the system response slows to an unbearable crawl lots of spinning beach balls come and go. the only system function that does not appear to be affected is the mouse movement, mouse clicks however are affected. I can't even change windows let alone apps without multiple minutes of delayed reactions. I used activity monitor to find "PrintJobMgr" seems to be using up to 100% of cpu resources and over 1GB of virtual memory at some times during the print process. I understand that PDF's are slow to print but that is not my problem as the print speed seems okay, just while printing I can't do anything else.
Can anyone help or have same experience?

What happens if you drag several PDFs right to the Printer's Icon or Printers Window without using Acrobat?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

To try to resolve this problem, I have done the following actions.
1 - I have run Disk Warrior.
2 - I have repaired permissions.
3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.
I am still unable to print PDF's.
In Safari, I can print only the first page. In a multipage PDF, Safari only seems to recognize the first page.
In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my printer: "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed".
Any help would be greatly appreicated!

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.

Can no longer print PDFs in Safari, or open one in Firefox

A couple of days ago I had no trouble printing a PDF which was open in a Safari window. Now when I have a PDF open in Safari and I try to print a page of it, the print window that appears shows a blank page, and if I click Print, the paper comes out blank. I tried opening the same PDF in Firefox and the window itself is blank. It works in Chrome. Any suggestions or a cure would be most appreciated. Thank you.
Cheers, Peter

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.

Safari is not displaying parts of web pages and will not print pdfs

I am using a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.3. Web pages are sometimes missing elements. Pdfs often do not display correctly and when I try to print them there is nothing there. This started to happen before upgrading to 10.8.3. Any ideas on how to solve the problem? I do not have this problem when using Firefox.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
