Safari 5 Doesn't Scroll PDF Smoothly; Page by Page, Safari 5 Doesn't Scroll PDF Smoothly; Page by Page
Hello:
I am running Safari 5.1 on Lion. When I browse a pdf document in Safari it loads the first page, but when I scroll it goes page by page. I have to stop scrolling and continue to get to the next page. Is there some Cache I can delete, or how do I fix this? I'm using a MacBook Pro (Early 2011).
Thanks,
Garrett Bentley
You should check yo see if the "Use Smooth Scrolling" box is checked in 'System Preferences / General'

Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -
I was on the internet playing a game them suddenly a pop up page came on and i pressed the "x" at the top to exit (like i always do) than the page askes me "are you sure you want to leave this page?" The text after this is so long that i can't say "leave this page" i tried to open other apps or pages but it tells me that i have to leave this page. I have no idea what to do. I can't even turn off the computer because it tells me that before i have to leave the safari... Please help!!!
There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize. -

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?
Figured it out. It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat. Here's the fix:
Open Finder/Applications
Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
Quit Safari
Launch Safari
Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly. -
How to display URL on PDF copied from web page;Does from Safari browser/Not Firefox
When I make a PDF document from a web page when in Safari, it automatically puts the URL in with the document but not when I'm using Firefox.
What is the format of that online document - is it an image, or is it perhaps already a PDF document? If so, you can right-click on it and save it to your local disk.

Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.
Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.

It scrolls about 1 line for every 5 notches I turn the scroll wheel.
I have to either use the scroll bar or the arrow keys. All other programs like Internet Explorer and Word, Photoshop, etc. scroll normally with the scroll wheel. Currently I am using the mouse on a Wacom Intuos 4, but the same issue occurs with the pen using the "pan" function and also with a run of the mill corded microsoft intelimouse.
Also, I'm having this issue on 2 computers, one lenovo laptop, Win 7 professional 64 bit, and a Lenovo desktop with Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.It scrolls about 1 line for every 5 notches I turn the scroll wheel.

I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open
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. -
Links to MOV files from PDFs don't open in Safari
I have a website that loads PDFs to the user's browser. In the PDF are links to Quicktime MOV files which open floating windows in which users can see videos. These work fine in both Firefox and Windows Internet Explorer on both of my Win 7 64-bit PCs. And they work in Safari on my son-in-law's Mac laptop, which runs OS 10.5.8, although not in Firefox on his laptop. The symptom is that the PDF (or browser) does not seem to even know that the cursor is positioned on a link; that is, the cursor does not change to a pointing finger as it should, and of course clicking on it has no effect.
On my desktop G4 (867 MHz), booted to OS 10.5.8) the links are also not recognized as such (no pointing finger) in both Firefox AND Safari (version 4.0.2, although the download package claimed it was installing 4.0.5). Or rather the icon I downloaded claims to be Firefox, but appears merely to point to a Mozilla web page. So I suppose we don't know about Firefox. What we can say is that Safari 4.0.2 on my Mac G4 PowerPC tower with 10.5.8 booted functions like Firefox on my son-in-law's Mac 10.5.8 laptop - unawareness that the links even exist.
Booting in OS 10.4.11 (which I can do from another hard drive on this G4 Mac), I have different problems. Firefox does load there (version 3.6.8), and goes to the main html page on the website. When links to the PDF files in that html page are clicked on, a choice between Acrobat Reader 7.0 and Acrobat Reader 9 is offered, but only Reader 7 will open - or claim to open: actually, although the title of the page is correct, all I see is a blank page.
The PDFs do open in Safari (version 4.1.3) on this G4 booted to OS 11.4.11, and the links in the PDFs are recognized as such, but when I click on them the little Multimedia Player Finder window comes up, telling me I need to download the correct media player, even though Quicktime 7.6.4 is sitting just below on the dock, and opens the identical MOV files with no problem directly from the hard drive itself (actually a different hard drive, but wait...yes, it also opens fine when the MOV is copied to the hard drive on which the currently booted OS10.4.11 resides).
Okay, so when I click on Get Media Player in that little Multimedia Player Finder window that opens when I try to go to a MOV link, I'm taken to Apple's website, which offers to download Quicktime Player 7.6.9 for Leopard. Drilling down to the appropriate version for Tiger 10.4.11 and downloading that, I find it knows it should install that to the same hard disk on which 10.4.11 resides, forsaking all others. Good. But when I install that and Restart, it's the same story as before: the PDFs load from the website into Safari, but when I click on one of the links in those PDFs to a MOV file I get the same Multimedia Player Finder window saying the media requires an additional player.
Can anyone shed any light on these problems?
Thanks in advance for your help.>With Perian you just goto System Preferences>Other Row, right click or Control+click on Perian, choose Remove Perian Pref Pane.
That sounds like Perian is NOT one of those you can just delete. How does one know which is which?
>But Perian would only help if you want to display the movie in the Browsers.
In fact, due to issues of publisher's permission regarding about half the video clips, for the present I would prefer the user NOT to be able to download them, but only to be able to open them in the browser, or even better, in a floating window that's a child of the browser, as I specified to Acrobat, and as in fact happens on my Win 7 PCs.
>Do you need PDFs to be downloaded, or could you do this in HTML and have the Movie links right on the site?
I'd rather they NOT be downloaded, at least in the sense of winding up in the Mac's Download folder and opening in a separate window. I want them to open directly in the browser window, as the do in my Win 7. (MOre on this below.)
As to HTML instead of a PDF, what I need is to be able to provide commentary about each video clip, which HTML could do just fine, and I could get free of the VERY troublesome problem that any time I make more than a trivial change to the text, I must re-link every stinking one of the MOVs in a time-consuming process. So far, however, all of my attempts to show video via the <OBJECT> or <EMBED> tags have either failed, or opened the clip directly in the page, not in a floating window as I prefer. I believe there's a new <VIDEO> (or is it <MEDIA>?) tag in HTML 5 I may look into.
> Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible... /private/var/run/StartupItems; /Library/StartupItems;
/System/Library/StartupItems; /System/Library/LaunchDaemons; /Library/LaunchDaemons
Thanks much for this tip. Indeed Protools itself is in the System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items folder, and I'll be removing it from there, but I'll still have the 'In use by another application' problem when I load Protools as a conscious choice. There's a bunch of Digidesign (a.k.a. Protools) stuff in /Library/StartupItems, but ... (I was about to say I would investigate further because Protools is notorious for placing files all over the place and not have a clean uninstall, but I just realized these are StartupItems - meaning, I suppose, *boot-up* items, as opposed to any time one starts up Protools? If only boot-up, there should be no harm in deleting them.
>I don't think that is any part of the problem.
Thank goodness! Just guessing: can I assume that (in principle, at least) any app from a prior OS Applications folder should run in a later OS, but generally not vice versa? That's the default assumption in Windows. However, I know of at least one app I have that was written for OS 9 and they announce does not run in higher OS's, though to be honest I've never tried it.
>The problem seems to be that the ones that do not display the links, or display the links but won't play it, are looking for the Movie file in the Download folder. No expert, but I kind of think it's some MS "stanrd" involved, which Apple trys to keep pace with, but...
I'm convinced you have the right answer here - except perhaps for the Microsoft part, because the 'Cannot play media because file not found' problem also occurs in Foxfire on my two XP PCs (although not in Internet Explorer where everything works properly on those two XP PCs). The evidence that you're right? I noticed an instance - TenFourFox when booted in 10.4, I believe - where not only the links to the MOV clips have that problem, but also links from within one PDF to another PDF, which generally *were* working in most scenarios tested so far when the MOV clips were not. For what it's worth, the links to the other PDFs specify another folder on the server, while those to the MOV files specify no folder at all since they're all in the same folder as the PDF that links to them. Which is why the Mac assumes they must be in the Download folder. Depending on the situation, apparently, in some circumstances if you do specify a folder Mac figures it must be on the server if not found locally.
In general, the problem seems to have a lot to do with browser configuration issues, including security, but I don't know what. Perhaps related, perhaps not: Every time I try to load a PDF in TenFourFox it asks me what app to open it with and I have to specify Acrobat Reader. I have found no way to load that as a plug-in (and even if I did, how to tell TenFourFox it should use it). The Get Add-on dialog lets you hunt for plug-ins but neither Acrobat Reader nor Quicktime show up when you ask for them in the Search box.
But now... guess what?
Today, suddenly, when I access the site with Safari while booted in 10.5.8, EVERYTHING IS WORKING! All the clips open, and they open in floating windows just like I want. This, remember, is the situation in which the links were not even recognized earlier. I have no idea which if any of the changes we've discussed could have brought this about. I've not even been able to find out how to tell Safari it should be using Acrobat Reader and Quicktime. But somehow, it is! (I'm not making this up, nor, despite my admission of memory lapses on occasion, is this a case of a memory lapse. I described this situation early in my initial post, when I had just verified it.)

Hello,
I just purchased a Samsung ML2160 printer and it doesn't work with nor my Pages program, nor the Preview (to print PDF). No matter the way I tried, the Print function doesn't work and I cannot neither print or even enter the printer preferrences menu! My MacBook Pro has worked before with other printers, but now with the Samsung it doesn't work at all... Though, if I drag and drop a document, jpg, pdf in the printer queue, it prints just fine, but that method gives me absolutely no freedom to the printing... Could it be something from the Computer -> Machintosh HD -> Library -> Printers? Because a friend of mine was recently trying to save me some disk space, and therefore erasing part of the HP printer (to remove the previous printer I owned)...
If anyone has any idea, that would be much appreciated
Thank you in advanceDo the sensible thing, as you say neither Preview nor Pages print, try other programs eg TextEdit. If none of them print then it is a System problem and very likely the printer drivers are AWOL or were never installed.
Go to Samsung's website and download their software for the Mac:

Pages 5 Document Endnotes doesn't allow text continuation onto next page?
For large blocks of endnote citations, Pages 5 doesn't all the text to flow down to the end of the page before going to the next. Rather it treats the endnote text area as its own section, thereby moving the entire text box to the next page. This is problematic from a formatting standpoint because it wastes page space, does anyone have a workaround or suggestions?
Example:
Citation 5 is long but I would like to keep it on the same page as Citation 4 and just let the text continue onto the next page. However Pages 5 doesn't allow me to adjust the endnote text box and just jumps to the next page. Rarely do you see endnotes arranged in this manner in high-level research reports and we can't have this.I exported a PDF from Pages v5.2.2. This uses Apple's Quartz PDFContext, not Quark.
In Windows 7, I opened this PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader v11.0.09. I then copied/pasted a paragraph of this PDF content into LibreOffice Writer (v4.3.2.2). Since there was Baskerville in Windows 7, this comment pasted correctly including font-size. I did not have to make any adjustments to LO to accept this text.
On Ubuntu Linux 14.04, with the latest updates, I opened the same PDF in Evince, the default PDF viewer. Adobe does not offer an Acrobat Reader download for Linux. Again, I copied and pasted a paragraph of content from the PDF viewer into LibreOffice Writer. As there was no Baskerville installed, Writer defaulted to the Liberation font, at the correct point size.
In either of these platform scenarios, there were no anomalies with sentence/paragraph newlines .vs. carriage return issues from the PDF document during copy/paste operations. These were default control-v pastes that did not use the Paste Special menu item in LibreOffice. -
One page displays as negative image when saving PDF to reduced size in Preview
Imac Intel Mid 2007
OS X 10.5.8
Preview v4.2
I have a multi-page PDF I'm trying to save to a reduced size.
The document was constructed of separate pages, some of which were created as Photoshop PDFs in Photoshop CS4 and others were saved as PDF's from Word. After moving over the individual PDF's to the side bar, the document saves fine in Preview at full size. When I use the quartz filter to "Save As" "Reduced File Size" one page saves as a negative image and the others are all fine.
One suggestion I saw in a similar thread was that the mode in PS might be CMYK, however it is not and it is RGB.
Any help as to solving this would be greatly appreciated.n.gilbert wrote:

Elaborate, please.
Is there a way to save to pages out in one go to jpeg where I can adjust the dpi setting?
Yes. Build an Automator workflow using the PDFs > Render PDF Pages as Images action.
Once I have the reduced jpegs it's easy enough to reimport into preview and save as a pdf.
If the desired final output is multi-page PDF, no need to go through all that. You can do the task in Acrobat Pro (PDF Optimizer), or in Preview (Save as > PDF > Quartz Filter). If the current Reduce File Size filter doesn't provide satisfactory quality, use ColorSync Utility to duplicate it (or make a new filter from scratch) and adjust it to fit your needs. -
When trying to create a PDF from a website the font doesn't convert properly to a readable format
Hello,
As the title states when I find something on a website that I want to create a PDF with, the font that's readable from the website converts once the PDF is created to an unknown format that isn't readable in any language. I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and quite the novice at using Acrobat, so any info would be a great help. Did try and search around the forum for the issue but I wouldn't really know what to type as I'm not familiar with what the text is converting to.Ok so I go to a web page and select something to print. Once I've clicked print I switch over from printer/micosoft xps docu writer/fax and select Adobe PDF. All goes through with a 'Create Adobe PDF' coming up progressing through to eventually save and store. Once I open the file it end up as the picture above. I have the same version on another computer and that works fine but this particular Sony laptop it doesn't seem to work properly.

I have a problem with two PDF's when trying to open them through a link on a web page. The two PDF's open fine with Adobe on my own PC and on the server I have copied it to but when they are opened through a link on a web page (pointing to the server where the PDFs open fine) I get an error 'There was an error processing a page.

Are the pdf linked correctly in the website? Is this a public website? If yes, please post the link here.
