Safari 4.0.4 Displays All PDF's as Black Pages

When using *Safari 4.0.4* all PDF's are displayed as a dark black page. I have loaded dozens of pages from different sites with the exact same results. If I use Firefox or Camino the PDFs load and display correctly.
I spent over an hour on the phone with an Apple Expert without resolving the problem. We uninstalled and reinstalled Safari, and the Adobe Reader. No Joy.
The last act of desperation was a full reinstall of Snow Leopard. Again, no Joy.
All my software is up to date.
I have also loaded several 3rd party PDF readers and they have all displayed the pages correctly.

Tom:
I had a similar problem and the cause of it was that a 3rd party pdf reader replaced the default one and it was not compatible with 64-bit mode. If that is your issue, you can find out by opening Safari in 32-bit mode and see it a pdf will load. Alternatively, you can do what I ended up doing and uninstalling the 3rd party reader and using Safari in 64-bit mode.
Hope that helps!

Unable to display a PDF image on the page - Mac 10.6

Hi,
Running an iMac with 10.6.8 and Indesign 5.0.4. Just wanting to export a PDF as per usual via File > Export function. However, I keep getting the error message, "Unable to display a PDF image on the page'. No idea what this is and have never seen this error before. The only info on the internet reveals error code 0x2511(9489).
I've deleted prefs, closed down and re-opened Indesign and even restarted the computer. I've also re-linked the images contained in the document and even created a new document and set it up the same, but still the same problem. Investigating further, other Indesign documents still export properly.
The only ones that don't export are 2 documents, both giving this same error message. Both documents are ones where a client has sent a PDF, I've imported into two of these into an 2-page A4 Indesign document (each PDF is 48MB each) and then just added a text layer (using Times) which is properly installed on the computer. I basically have to 'update' course dates for the client and add PDF to the website, all very basic.
I've tried importing a jpeg and other PDFs into the file (replacing the existing ones) and they export fine.
All my software is legal and I've exported this document before now in exactly the same File > Export without any problems (under 10.5 and 10.6).
OK... I've just imported the offending PDFs into Acrobat, optimized and shrunk the file size, re-imported back to Indesign and the PDF export works fine. So it seems InDesign / PDF Export doesn't like large imported PDFs? I think they were originally exported from Publisher, so maybe that's the problem or a file conflict somehow.
Any ideas on the culprit? I've googled it, searched these forums and Apple discussions and haven't found anything. Although I've found a workaround, I do get large files to import and then export. Thanks for any help
Steve

It does sound like a problem with the original PDF files the client sent you. You can check how they were made in Acrobat Pro from the Additional MetaData button on the Description tab of the document properties dialog. It will be under Advanced at the bottom of the list when the metadata opens.
You might be able to salvage them by running the optimzer and not changing the size, or just doing a Save As in Acrobat.

Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page

I realize plugins are not part of Mozilla, but Mozilla is giving me a looping error message that something is missing when I don't see at all that anything is.
I receive this message when I am trying to play an audio file for transcription. "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". I know the program uses QuickTime, and that is up-to-date, but not sure what other plugins it would need.
There is an "Install Missing Plugins" button. When I click that, a Plugin Finder Service window opens and the message "No suitable plugins were found".

Do you have the Windows Media Player plugin?

PDF documents show black pages or black images

Why do some PDF documents show black pages or black images when opened in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

On my regular tablet I have 9.4.5 and have not had problems as you describe. I am sorry that I can not play with that version this week as I do not have that machine available. For others that might be able to check the problem out, it might be useful if you post a sample page of your PDF for others to look at. Just enough that demonstrates the point. If you cannot do it with a page from the document you have, if it would be possible to post something similar to get at the point. If you are successful in creating a problem page, then it might be easier to figure out the problem.

My iBooks app now displays all PDF's as "Untitled"

Good Morning:
My iPhone 3GS is now displaying all new PDF's with the title "Untitled" in my ibooks app. This started after the recent iBooks update. The previous PDF's I have on iBooks from before the update all have the titles of the PDF as it was listed in the Email that the PDF came from. How can I change this so that I will be able to see the PDF titles in iBooks again.
Thanks Very Much!

Update:
I went to the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store yesterday and was given the following steps that will remedy the problem with the PDF's
Drag and Drop PDF's directlty from MY Documents (if you are using a PC with Windows XP) and put the PDF's Directly into the Book section in the Library in iTunes.
Then Sync the iPhone in iTunes and the PDF's will display with the names you have chosen.
Do Not Email the PDF's and open them in iBooks or the PDF's will display with the name Untitled.
Note: Be sure to delete the PDF's that are displaying as "Untitled" from the iPhone first as well as the PDF's that are on iTunes as the original cryptic PDF File Name. Then Drag and Drop a fresh Copy of the PDF's and put them into iTunes. After syncing the PDF's will display in iBooks with the name you have chosen.

How do i force safari 7 to always download all PDFs

Whenever i click a pdf, i want it to merely download to my downloads directory. until mavericks this was a matter of simply setting a boolean operator, but now that operator does not work and the code in the pdf file displays on the screen instead of just downloading. I want it to just download. Any ideas?

The problem with putting it at the footer of each page is that it would either cover content or, if placed after expanding page size, would be cropped out if the user does not shrink to fit. Having a floating comment bubble on every page would also cover content or could be printed without comments & markups.
The issue is this:
"...User must also ensure that such cover page or other means will print out in the event that the person accessing the material chooses to pring out the material or any part thereof;"
Its frustrating to see that for paid rights to use their copyrighted material, that they would demand something that is impossible to uphold. The other issue is that the content on the cover page is enough that it needs a whole page.
Thanks for your advice, but I need to make the impossible happen. After all, if you put a young person in front of the magic box, magic will happen... :-\

IBooks not displaying all PDFs

Hi all
On my iTunes I have 92 PDF's that are sync's to my iPad iBooks, but on the device I only see 66? I have deleted and re-sync'd and no luck?
Daz

I copied them to the iTunes library, and then from there into the iPad Books? Although when I did it, the system coldn't read 30 PDF's? I clicked ok and they transferred across anyway?

How do I prevent the yellow bar from appearing across the top of Hotmail emails that says, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." I DO NOT want plugin. How do I get Firefox to stop sending message?

Note: I did try to install the plugin just to see what would happen. When I clicked on "Install Missing Plugin" the next page said plugin could not be found---install manually. I clicked on manual install button and was directed to Adobe Flash Player - I already have current version of AFP installed.

Safari 5.1 won't open PDF. Just black screen

Using Snow leopard. Just downloaded Safari 5.1. It doesn't open PDF files. Get a black screen. Any suggestions?

Yesterday, DTA showed all PDF files on a page but today it wont. I can click on the link and DTA works from new window, but yesterday didnt have to do that. Why

Im at a webpage that lists 200 links to PDF children's books. Yesterday I clicked DTA from this page and it showed all of the PDF files. Now when I try that today it doesnt show any PDF files. However, when I click on one of the links from the first page and then use DTA, the PDF files are seen. Why did it change and why can't I select all the PDF files from the original index page? I upgraded to the newest Firefox, downgraded to an older version, and reinstalled DTA twice. Thanks in advance for any help!!

I installed Firefox 4 on my new computer and am getting a banner on some web pages stating "Additional plug ins are required to display all the media on this page - I haven't had this problem until today; I have been using Firefox on my Macs for years.

I just bought a new MacBookPro to replace my 3 year old MBP. I was not receiving the banner when I was on my old Mac running Firefox 3.6.16.
The yellow banner seems to appear randomly. I got it when I went to https://artistsnetwork.tv/e-myvideos.aspx and https://bit.ly.com but not when I went to Hootsuite, Twitter or textbroker.com.
There is an "Install missing plugins" button on the right side, but I'm afraid to click on it since I don't understand what might happen to my new computer.

How can I get Safari 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

Safari 5.1.2 always opens pdf files on web pages as a single frame and thus it will not print properly. How can I get Safari to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader 10.1.1?

Carolyn,
Thanks for sending your suggestion on how to solve my problem. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I trashed the file, quit and relaunched Safari, but the problem remained the same. Although it did not work, I do appreciate that you took the time to try to help me.
Thanks.

Hi,
To display all the questions in a page instead of in a dialog, you can achieve it by using such an URL:
http://yoursite/Lists/survey1/NewForm.aspx?IsDlg=0
You can add a hyperlink with this URL into a page of your site, then you can navigate to the questions page by clicking this hyperlink.
