Quicklook doesn't show PDF files

OSX 10.10.2
Quicklook does not show PDF files and Preview doesn't open PDF files. When I select file => open, all PDF files are grey and cannot be selected. In Finder I select a PDF file and press CMD-i. In the information window I select open with Preview, but nothing will changed. PDF files can only be opened with Adobe Acrobat. When I drop a PDF file from finder to safari, the PDF file will be visible in safari. When I select "open in preview" in safari, preview doesn't show the pdf file. I can see an error in the console "CoreSercviceUIAgent Error -60005 creating authorization". qlmanage -r and qlmanage -r chase doesn't help.

  • Why doesn't my pdf files that are on my iPad show up on my iMac or mac book pro

    Why doesn't my pdf files that are on my ipad show up on my imac or macbook?

    Have you copied them from your iPad ? If you are using the 'sync collections' setting then that doesn't copy items between devices/computers, all it does is if you move a book/PDF into a collection on one device/computer then if that book/PDF is also on your other device(s)/computer(s) then it will be moved into the same collection on them.
    If you connect the iPad to the computer that you sync it to and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy them over to your Mac's iTunes (that should copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks) - in the iBooks app on your Mac you might then need to do File > Move Books From iTunes to move them over to it.

  • Issues showing PDF files in web-browser (Windows 7 x64, 32-bit version of AdobeReader X)

    I'm not sure if this is the right way to share my experience, but at least I know Google will discover this thread eventually and maybe someone else will find what I have been looking for the past 3 hours
    I'm deploying the 32-bit based AdobeReader X (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950) to Windows7 32-bit and 64-bit based machines. This is a MSI deployement done through our Active Directory. Everything goes well - no errors. Except for the x64-based machines having trouble showing PDF-files in the web-browser.
    I used Adobe Customization Wizard X to customize our MSI installation - this showed out to be the solution once again.
    Common for the installation on Windows7 32-/64-bit were that the value in the registry database for HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe (Default) was set to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe". This is valid for the 32-bit installation as Program Files is situated in C:\Program Files, but since it's a 32-bit edition of AdobeReader that I'm installing on the 64-bit based system as well, it's installed in C:\Program Files (x86) and the reference in the registry database to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is therefore not valid - which explains why PDF files could not be displayed in the web browser. Changing the registry to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" solved it. Now this is a manual solution which might be useful on 1-2 machines but on a bigger scale it's not the right way to do it.
    I could change it with a batch/vbs script but still this is only a solution of the symptom and not a solution to the core issue. I therefore focused on Adobe Customization Wizard X again.
    The problem was easily solved. I opened the MSI file, loaded the transform file that I've made previously. Went to Registry > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe . I then changed the (Default) value from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" to "[INSTALLDIR]Reader\AcroRd32.exe", generated the MST file and replaced my current one for distribution. Problem solved! :-) The entry in the registry now shows : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and PDF files are open without any issues.
    I hope someone can save a bit of time on this one.
    Best regards!

    I was able install and view the files in adobe reader 10.1.1 and in web browser window 7 64 bit machine.  But when I go to Edit-preferences-internet and  unchecking "display PDF in Browser" , I am not able to view the pdf files in ie 9 browser.  I have used this javscript to check for pdf version.
    Immediately after installing adobe--
    when I do adobe test in ie 9---https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html--  launches a test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
    After unchecking-- it stays in the  https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf
    Tried to go back to "display PDF in Browser"--it is showing it is checked(eventhough I did not check it)
    and in ie
    it stays in the https://courses.worldcampus.psu.edu/public/diagnostics/Acrobat.html instead of showing test pdf file--Acro_Test.pdf

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

    Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

    Are these local or online documents?  If online, in what browser?  If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
    Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

  • Not showing pdf files in laptop

    Pdf files that downloded in Lumia 525 are not showing in laptop, I downloaded pdf by internet browser and also by uc downloder, plz help me how these files may visible

    Windows Phone 8 doesn't have a file manager mate. downloaded files are sandboxed within the app itself. if you wish to open these PDF's is probably best to open it on a laptop/desktop, or try to sync with something like OneDrive.

  • Brother HL-2030,USB doesn't print PDF files

    Mac OS 10.6.7. Brother HL-2030, USB connection, doesn't print any kin of PDF files, or prints with fatal errors. Printer driver Brother HL-2030 series CUPS. Adobe Reader 10.0.3. . A HP Deskjet printer, with the same connection, prints correctly. I did reinstall the system and updated it. Can you help me to fix this problem?

    Are you sure that model number is correct?
    Brother is not showing it on their support web site, but they show a firmware update and a software update from earlier this year for a similarly numbered model:

  • Elements 4 Slide Show PDF File Size

    My a 36-slide show with music ends up as a 6.76 MB PDF file. Are there techniques for reducing the file size?
    My attempts have had mystifying results. I fould that 2 of the original images were multi-megabyte BMP files, so I replaced them one-by-one with much smaller JPGs, and made PDFs after each step. (Miraculously, when I edited the original photos, the edits automatically flowed down into the slide show images.)
    When I made the replacements and created new PDFs, the size didn't shrink accordingly. It appears that Elements makes its own JPGs from the photos in the slide show, so the size of the original doesn't matter.
    But replacing the first big file with a smaller one slightly INCREASED the size of the PDF, from 6.76 MB to 6.79. Replacing the second one increased it again from 6.79 to 6.80. Small changes, but mysterious.
    BTW, taking out the music (built-in looping audio from Elements) reduced the file size from 6.76 to 5.87 MB.
    Are there other ways to reduce the size of the PDF file?

    Yep, I know this is user-to-user. I've gotten very good answers here, too.
    I experimented with the "slide resolution" (or whatever the name of it is). There wasn't much difference in file size between 800x600 and 1024x768, and I couldn't see much difference on the screen. Fonts seemed less jazzy with 1024x768, but it wasn't night and day.
    File size ballooned when I went to the next higher resolution. I think the visual quality improved, too, but I can't be sure.
    Looks like the higer resolution settings might be good if one distributed the slide show on CD.

  • QuickLook doesn't show .flv Videos

    QuickLook in Leopard doesn't show me Cover Flow "artwork" for .flv Flash Video files. Does anyone know who is responsible for implementing this? Is it up to the guys that wrote Perian, since Perian allows QuickTime to play .flv files?

  • Safari doesn't open PDF-files on a homepage

    Hey there,
    I bought the new iPad to work with it at the university.
    Now I can't even open the PDF-files from our homepage (it's moodle). Safari shows me the first site of the file and I'm not able open it in another program or even copy and paste the presentation.
    I installed Acrobat Reader but nothing changed, using the link of the file in keynote wasn't the answer... so what's the solution -.-
    Ian

    Great idea but it's not working ...
    I'm studying at The University of Education at ludwigsburg, Germany.
    Your App wasn't sucessfull maybe our modle Version is older than 2.4 or i'm not able to enter the right URL.
    Or where can i change the certificat?
    Have fun with my English written on a german keyboard.

  • Safari doesn't display pdf file from within Dropbox

    When I click on a link on a web page that takes me to a pdf file located in a shared Dropbox folder, Safari only gives me a solid black page and doesn't open the pdf file.  All the other browsers do, Chrome, Firefox and even IE.  How can I fix this?  I have Mountain Lion and the latest version of Safari.  Pdf-plugin-244 is installed.  I tried the suggestion in another posting about viewing pdf files in Safari, and it didn't fix the problem.

    Pdf-plugin-244 is installed.
    Test without it.

  • Firefox doesn't show jpg files from a web page while other browsers do

    I have created a page and uploaded www.nutechequipments.com/equipment.html page doesn't show the jpg files in only firefox everywhere including Dubai. But all the other browsers show the uploaded jpg pictures in perfect manner. In Firefox only the table is loaded with placeholders. It is not a problem with my computer. It is the problem all over the world.
    the sample html code is given below:
    <pre><nowiki><td><img src="equip\equip.jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip1.jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip (2).jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td><td><img src="equip\equip (3).jpg" size width="110" height="90"></td></nowiki></pre>

    You have backslashes (\: escaped as %5C as seen in Tools > Page Info > Media) in the scr attribute of the images and that doesn't work in Firefox.
    You need to change the backslashes to forward slashes

  • Finder doesn't show all files

    When I add new photos to iPhoto, they do not appear as a file or item in Finder Documents list. I thought Finder was supposed to show all files and items that you create?

    santra, use EasyFind or Find File instead. BY default, Apple's own Finder/spotlight doesn't search everywhere and doesn't find everything (Mac fanboys will tell you this is a feature and is so intelligent that some people can't understand how smart it is; I prefer to think of it as a defect).
    Easyfind is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707
    Find File is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10906315
    I hope this helps you to find all your stuff.

  • 'All My Files' doesn't show all file types (e.g. .Zip)

    Does anyone know how to make the 'All My Files' option in Finder display Zip files and Folders? 
    When I look at the search criteria, 'All My Files' seems to be only looking for 'Documents' and 'com.microsoft.'.
    Thanks,
    M.

    'All My Files' doen't even show pdf and doc files that I know are on my machine.
    Maybe should be called 'Barely Some of My Files.'
    I went into 'Search Criteria' and put in only one criteria line, searching for "any" file of "any" type.
    This seemed to work.

  • Installed the Java patch for MAC yesterday and immediately could not get adobe reader to show pdf files...have troubleshot and can't seem to remedy ...ideas?

    I have used the Firefox troubleshooting guides, no good. The Java patch is enabled and shows when I check applications. However when I run Firefox plugins it still shows the java plug in is outdated and need to be updated immediately.

    OK, I went to the Firefox knowledge base article you cited and followed the directions with the exception that in the drop down menu I choose Adobe Reader for PDF files rather than the plug in default that apparently was set by the Java patch. Problem solved !!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to get me back to the basic place I needed to be to correct this issue. YOU ROCK!!!!
