Safari displays a black page instead of the PDF

How do you get Safari to display a PDF properly instead of a black page?

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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, 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.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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.

How can I get a pdf. to open in Safari, all i'm getting is a new window with a black, blank page, instead of the pdf., and I don't want to save the file to the desktop, Safari didn't use to do that, and I don't have Adobe in the internet plug in folder.

Hi
Please take a look to this thread Re: Can I refresh the browser rather than open a new tab?

Videos on youtube and bbc radio iplayer display a black box instead of the player box.

so yesterday morning i was using youtube and bbc iplayer fine and then last night they suddenly stopped working and i can't think of any reason why, i haven't updated or made any changes to anything in the last day. the pages load fine but where there was previoulsy the video or in the case of iplayer the picture with the controls on, there is now just a black box. i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash player but otherwise don't know what to do!
i've also tried using internet explorer and have the same problem with this. i've tried to update firefox but cant get it to work, although i imagine this won't help anyway since ive got the same problem in internet explorer.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Quicktime Plugin (Mac) yields a blank page instead of the embedded player.

When clicking on a link to an MP3 file, my app settings used to invoke the QuickTime Plug-in in Firefox 5 (Mac). Now, when I click on a link to an MP3 file, I see a blank page instead of the QuickTime Plug-in Player. The plugin seems to work in Safari (no surprise there, it is Apple QuickTime in Apple's Safari after all).
This is driving me nuts. It was working fine in Firefox 4.

Right click on the document and select Open with-Adobe Acrobat. Or right click on the document and select get info, go to the open with drop down menu and select Acrobat. If you want all documents of that type to open with Acrobat check the box.

Preview - displays a blank window instead of the jpg???

Thanks.

Hi Ron,
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, emtpy the Trash and restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, right or control click that image, then click Get Info.
In the Get Info window click Open with. You may have to click the discovery triangle.
Click the pop menu and select the application you want to open that image with... you may have to navigate to your Applications folder to make a selection.

When I click on links in my e-mail, I get the Start Page instead of the link page

Hello:
When I click on an e-mail link, I get my Start Page instead of the
Link Page. My e-mail is Thunderbird and my default browser is
Firefox.
Thanks

This is a known bug, and has been for years. It occurs when Firefox is your default browser and some glitch (or program) changes that default. Thankfully, there's a fairly easy fix, though it does involve monkeying around in the Registry.
(Note: These instructions apply to Windows Vista and 7 only.)
1. Click Start, type regedit, and then press Enter.
2. Navigate to the following entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec
3. In the center pane, double-click the Default entry, then remove whatever value is there (it'll probably be a weird string of numbers and commas).
4. Click OK, then exit Regedit.
5. If Outlook and/or Firefox are open, close them, then restart them.

I am using windows 7 pro this issue has drove me crazy for some time, now finally it's fixed by doing the exact same steps as above, hope this works for everybody that is having this problem. I just had to share this with my fellow firefox users. :)

Sometimes the url's don't update so when you press the "back button" it sends you to the home page instead of the last page visited

A friend of mine has this webblog and I have never had problems viewing it before I downloaded the new version of firefox. However, once I downloaded the new version, I noticed that every time I press the "back button" after viewing a picture, it sends me back to the blog home page instead of the last page I was on or that I viewed. This also happens with some of the standard websites I visit not just the blogs.

Right click the Back button and select the page you want to go back to.

Adobe Reader 11.0.09 on MAC prints PDFs 1/6 of page 6 times on page, instead of the whole page. Help please!!

I am using Mac OS X 10.9.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09 and it prints PDFs 1/6 of page 6 times on page, instead of the whole page. I have tried Print as Image, no joy. Multiple pages is NOT selected. I cannot get anyone from Adobe to help me with this problem and it is becoming a major impediment to my work!

Hi Suzbat,
If you try to print any other document from any other application. Did you check, are you facing the same issue or not?
Have you tried to install latest drivers of the printer.

Why is the virtual keyboard on my new iPad showing up in the middle of the page instead of the bottom? It sometimes covers the area I'm trying to type in!

Total number of pages before generating the PDF - OMR

Dear all,
We are facing the following problem. We want to apply OMR (optical mark recognition) barcoding on a batch of invoices.
Basically there are two steps in the proces:
- Fetch the batch of invoices created during the day, let's say 1000 invoices.
- Calculate for this batch of invoices the total number of pages per customer. 1 customer can have multiple invoices per day.
- If the number of pages per customer > 12, remove the invoices from the total batch (1000 invoices become then 800 for example).
- Apply OMR logic on the remaining 800.
My question is regarding step 2. The calculation of the total number of pages per customer. Is it possible to get the total number of pages before generating the PDF? Or do we have to 'simulate' the PDF to get to this number?
Another question I have, does anybody have experience implementing OMR using adobe forms? Any experience to share?
Thanks for your feedback
Simon

Hi Philippe,
we can only determine the page size when its already loaded with data and its published/sent by ADS.
i.e., the no of pages increases based on the data you feed to the form which mean by the time the form/script determines the number of pages it has published dynamically data is already there. so your requirement cannot be solved in that approach.
the next approach which I can think of is as follows.
lets say you display the invoices data as a table in the form.
so then lets specify the row height to .5" which mean in a form with content area size of 15" we can display 30 records.
so in the interface or the source program count the number of records per customer if they are < (12pages X 30 records = 360) leave them as they are else remove them for the list and process the data for other customers.
As per your other query of having OMR on the form I have no Idea, I never worked on that but if its just any other type of barcode that shouldn't have any problem.
Hope this helps you,
Cheers,
Sai

How to get page number from the PDF using Javascript

Hi,
We are having list of Single page PDF. The pdf are named in the order,
ISBN_Author_01.PDF (with real page number as i)
ISBN_Author_02.PDF (with real page number as ii)
ISBN_Author_03.PDF (with real page number as iii)
ISBN_Author_04.PDF (with real page number as 1)
ISBN_Author_05.PDF (with real page number as 2)
ISBN_Author_06.PDF (with real page number as 3)
ISBN_Author_nn.PDF (with real page number as 500)
Here each pdf has a page number and in sequential order.
The task is to check whether all the pdfs are in sequential order (i.e i, ii, iii, 1, 2, 3). If any page is missing, the script should throw an error report.
To do this task, I am writing a Javascript to get the real page number from the PDF.
Can anybody help me how to get the page number from the PDF using Javascript.
Thanks,
Gopal

The "real" page number within a PDF is the count of the physical page starting at 0, zero.
pageNum numPages
The number printed on each page is the page label.
setPageLabels getPageLabel
You will have to open each PDF and your script would need to know the page label for that file. I would expect you would need to build a 2 dimensional array of the file names and the page label for the page within that array.

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Hello saradianapasik,
If you start with a document created with Acrobat Pro, or exported from your word processor as a .pdf, then you should include page numbers in that originating application. After you have exported a .pdf form from FormsCentral, it is no longer editable.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Link to .pdf asset is jumping to top of page instead of opening .pdf

I am going crazy trying to figure out why one of my pages won't open its links. It appears in the lower left corner of the browser to be linked to the correct asset, and if you right click the link and select to open the link in a new page it opens the .pdf fine. But when you left click on the link then it just jumps to the top of the page as if it were anchored to the top of the page or something. I don't understand it. I've tried erasing the link, erasing the asset and relinking but it I can't figure it out.
Here is the site:
http://www.generationsprimarycare.com/physical-forms.html#peforms
On the right column, the top link is fine, the rest of the links that are linked to .pdfs in the right column don't work correctly
Thanks a bunch to anyone who can help.

When selecting a hyperlink we are directed to a blank page instead of the webpage. Safari is not doing this. Only Firefox.

Why won't Firefox take me to the hyperlinked page instead of a blank page?
