Safari 5.1 doesn't open PDFs in-line

Hi. My Safari doesn't open PDF files in-line. It is just downloading them and after that opens them in Preview. No Adobe Reader has ever been installed. Need your help. Thanks

Hello Tyj
Go to System Preferences / General. Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps under Number of recent items.
That should do the trick
Thanks

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?

FF 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links, after clicking on "open pdf" error message says file not supported or damaged. IE opens file all right. Please advice.

Firefox 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links after clicking on "open pdf". I frequently need to do literature searches and I need to view pdf files in the browser. After clicking on the pdf - link of a file the main options are to open or download the pdf. Every time I try to open a pdf-file a blank page and an error message appears saying the file would not be supported or is damaged. IE, however, opens the file all right. I tried various changes in the security and cookie settings without success. Please advice.

Hi SGckc,
This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
Thank you for contacting us!

"open in ibooks" button doesn't open pdf on iPhone 6, click it several times and nothing happens

The "open in ibooks" button doesn't open pdf on new iPhone 6. I'll click it several times and nothing happens. Is there a way to uninstall ibooks and reinstall?

there is no share button in preview
I am seeing a Share button in Preview's toolbar, Larry: Can you see the screenshot?
The content of the Share menu will depend on the file format. For PDFs the menu will be nearly empty and iPhoto and aperture are missing.

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?

Why Acrobat Reader doesn't open pdf-files from Safari?

I'm new Mac user and cannot find answer why I cannot open pdf-files directly from Safari. My Macbook OS X 10.9.3 and Safari is 7.0.4. Only way to open pdf-files is to download the content first and then open it. If I try to open it directly Acrobat says "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement". I have downloaded Acrobat Reader several times already and cannot understand what I'm doing wrong.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 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.

TA21328 Safari will not display or open PDF files. Unable to view imovies

I resently had a new hard drive installed by the Apple store and they installed Snow Lepard which was my provious OS. I did restore all my files using My Passport Studio and everything what fine except for two things. I cannot open PDF files through Safari and I am not able to view any of my imovies.

If you have them, you might want to delete either or both of the below mentioned files from the following location “/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/” and install Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat again. Reader and Acrobat have preference items for whether to use them to manage PDFs in Safari.
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
Do you have some iMovie project files in iMovie Events and iMovie Projects in your Home folder's Movies folder? Those might be where your "imovies" are. If you did have some, but don't now, then they may be the items you need to restore from a backup. Other than that, I'm not sure what you mean by "imovies", so can you include the steps you take to view "imovies" in a reply, please? Thanks.

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 5.1 won't open .pdf

I'm starting to use Safari 5.1 on my Mac Mini running 10.6.8.
I can't open a page when I click on .pdf.
This brings me to a black page in the browser.
This should be a simple fix, but I can't find anything like going to prefs and set it to open with Adobe Reader.
The .p-df file doesn't seem to download the document as well
Thanks for your help.

In Lion, how do I force Safari to always download and open PDFs in Preview?

I tried to do the "defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES" in Terminal.app, but Safari still opens and renders PDFs in place.
Look:
defaults read com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport

Anyone know how to make this work?
OS 10.7.1, Safari 5.1, i5 MBP

Hi. Thank you for the tips. option-click on the download link does indeed download the PDF to the Downloads folder, but then I have to go open it in Preview myself.
In 10.6, I had my Safari app prefs tweaked (using the defaults command in the terminal) that would make Safari download a PDF and hand it off to Preview for viewing automatically.
Now, even if I do the same defaults write thing, PDFs still open in place in Safari.
Did Apple remove this from Safari 5.x? Is it simply a bug that got introduced in 5.x?

Safari 6.01 won't open PDF's after installing Flash

Safari has always displayed PDF's downloaded via web links. This afternoon I installed the Flash pluggin and now Safari downloads PDF's rather than displaying them.
I checked HDD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and there are no Adobe or other PDF pluggins.
Safari 6.01 / OS X 10.8.2
Thanks.

Back up all data. Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.
