Safari and PDF file links

Why can't I open PDF file links in Safari? The new window that opens shows only a black screen. I have the latest verison of Mac software and Adobe software loaded.
Thanks,
Cyn ~

To view PDF in Safari Preview remove Adobe plug ins if any.
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click it and then select Move to Trash”.

Safari and pdf files

I recently upgraded to Safari 5.1 and since then Safari no longer handles pdfs properly. When clicking on a pdf doc in a page, instead of opening the Adobe reader, Quicktime comes on, displays the first page of the doc, and that's it. One cannot see the other pages, nor can one save it to disk as a pdf file. An error message comes on claiming it cannot be saved as a pdf...
What's up?

A solution from Adobe? No idea, sorry.
You're welcome

Can't open pdf file linked through a ASPX link in Safari

I'm a new Mac user so sorry if this is basic. It appears when I click on a link in Safari that should open a PDF file (link uses a ASP link) I get the download box instead. I can download the file to my desktop and open it with adobe from there. I just downloaded the latest adobe reader. This is a new intel iMac (10.4.8). If I click directly on a link to a PDF file it opens in Safari with no problem. The specific link I'm having trouble with is :
http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/download.aspx?ft=MzAwMTV8fHwyNC4xOTIuMTM5LjE4NXx8 MS8yLzIwMDcgODo0OTozNyBQTQ%3D%3D
It seems to see the file as having a ".pdf.exe" extension so doesn't open it with adobe but sees it as an application so offers to download or cancel.
Really clicking on any PDF link from this page causes the same problem : http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/index.asp?folder=15700&name=Physical%20Science
These links act OK using IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...Jim

Sorry for the insufficient info.
My environment is Windows 7 64bit.
The PDF was converted from Word file and for example the link which should open a local file was working on version 10.1.1.33 (like first picture below) but not anymore after updating to 10.1.4(second one).
Can you help me with this?

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

Some PDF files garbled in Safari and PDF HD

I have a 3 page sample of a book on my website (generated from InDesign) that reads fine on the Mac Safari and other programs on the Mac.
However, the PDF will only show garbled, overlying text when viewed on the iPad Safari and PDF HD. It is not file size related as I have an 8-page newsletter nearly four times the size of file and also created in InDesign --> PDF that views just fine.
I have exported the PDF and also print to PDF as a new file and it still comes out a mess.
The graphics and music illustrations are ok, some lines of text, and titles. The fonts used are Times TT and Helvetica. There is also a IPA linguistic font used. Basically all other text in the three pages is just garbage.
Anyone else see this happening and how can I fix the situation so clients can see the sample on iPad? Can the imbedded EPS files in the document be what is fouling things up? The illustrations are essential for the sample from the book.

I have this same problem in all PDF readers and Safari.
The problem exacerbates itself when a PDF document gets zoomed in or out.
I have some large, multi-page PDFs that are fine and some that aren't.
I even have one or two page PDFs that exhibit the same issues.
I can't see any pattern to whether a PDF will view correctly or not.
I have reported this via Apple iPad feedback.
You may want to do the same to let Apple know tis is an issue on some iPads or iOS software.
Here's the feedback link

Web Clipping portlet and pdf files

Hi,
I have created a web clipping portlet which just includes a set of links to HTML and pdf files. When I try to open a link to a pdf file the web clipping portlet fails, but links to the html content work fine
Is it possible using web clipping to open the links to the pdf files and display them in the web clipping portlet ?
Thanks,

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
- HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine
- Project is under RoboSource version control
TEMPORARY INTERNET SETTINGS
- “Check for newer versions of stored pages” is
set to “Automatically”
- “Current location” for the Temporary Internet
files folder is set to “C:\Documents and Settings\My
Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\”
- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)
- “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”
(Last Accessed 12/14/06) (Version 1,5,722,0)
- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

hi chandra, do you have the pdf file for fi-ca configuration

Can't Edit .txt and .pdf files in EP6 KM

We just migrated our last application from EP5 to EP6, and now we're having problems with not being able to edit .txt and .pdf files. The problem is that the files will only open in the browser rather than in their native programs (wordpad/notepad, Adobe Editor, etc). Surely others have encountered this issue. Are there any solutions short of installing 3rd party tools?

Hi Jeff,
Which program opens on a link depends on two things:
1. The MIME-Type that is sent from the server together with the resource (file) you requested by clicking a link
2. Your Windows Setting defining which local application should be used for which MIME Type.
So there may be two things happening:
1. EP 6 is sending other (or no) MIME Types with the KM resources. You can check this in your KM configuration. See KM -> Services -> MIME Service
2. Your OS got the settings for apps/MIMEs changed. This happens e.g. if you changed on Win XP to SP 2.
So here may be a solution:
Go to Windows Explorer->Tools->Folder
Options->File Types, click on the TXT extention, and click
"Delete". Then proceed to recreate the TXT file type with the
default app you want (notepad).
IE will open your app (notepad) for links to text files from that point
on.
So, to check this for text files, open the registry editor, go to
"My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt" (or .TXT), and check for a 'String
Value' with the value "text/plain".
This should work with any file type, as long as you use the right MIME Type (See KM configuration / MIME Services).
HTH,
Carsten

Download jpeg and pdf files on my iPhone 6

Why won't safari open pdf files???!?!?!?!

just bought the new iMac and pdf files wont open.
It's been updated to the newest software (which I don't know what it's running or how to find it, I'm a new mac user)
Now, in Windows, my files automatically opened with Adobe and now... nothing.
Please help.

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.

Uploading .doc and .pdf files from iPad

Is there any such free app in App Store to upload .doc and .pdf files from my iPad mini to Internet?
I usually upload my Resume on different job portals, but it is not possible from Safari or Chrome browsers on my iPad mini, I have to do it from my PC every time just to upload a single file. Looking for a solution to this reported issue.
Thank you..

There is no native ability to upload files other than photos and videos using the built in Safari browser.
Look into iCab Mobile for file uploads to websites. Its not free though, and I'm not aware of a free alternative at this point.
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8
You will need to transfer the file to iCab to be able to upload it though.

Trouble opening jpeg and pdf files.

I have a fully current version of Photoshop (ICloud). When attempting to open some jpeg files and pdf files, they remain ghosted and will not open. I think it may have to do with the settings in the 'open' window but i don't know what to do. ?????

Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
Why is my word and PDF files so large?
How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

You can't, extra size is to hold the details
