Safari does not automatically open pdf files.

After updating Acrobat to 7.0.5, Safar no longer auromattically opens pdf files, when I click to open a pdf on the web. Every time it asks me which application do I want to use. When I select 7.0.5 it works fine. When I open a pdf from a the finder it opens the proper version and Get Info shows the proper association.
I cannot find how to fix the association in Safari.
Thanks for you suggestions.

Hi, Jim. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. Quit Safari if it is open.
2. In Acrobat, select Help > Detect and Repair.
3. Select or deselect the options in the resulting window, as desired, assuring that<pre>__ Adobe PDF Viewer
View and edit Adobe PDF within Safari</pre>is selected.
4. Click Continue.
5. Type your Admin Password when prompted, click OK.
6. You should get a message indicating that "missing components were repaired."
7. Launch Safari and open a PDF on the Web to see if it's fixed.
FYI: Questions regarding Safari should be posted to the Safari Discussion.
Good luck!

  • Google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

    google removed from bookmarks and when selecting safari it does not automatically open to bookmarks as previously did

    When Safari launches, tap in the address field (the one on the left) and type "www.google.com" then hit the "Go" button.
    After the page finishes loading, hit the "Action" button (the middle button on the bottom button bar that looks like an arrow coming out of a rectangle) and select "Add to Bookmarks" to add the Google page to your bookmarks.
    After that, you can hit the Bookmarks button (the button that looks like an open book in the bottom button bar) to access the Google bookmark you just created.

    it searches a specific word in the database with full text search

    but after i moved to production Server and installed every thing the same way ...it did not create the index for the pdf files
    i can search for doc and docx and even for xml but not pdf
    i know i installed it correctly since it is working great in the testing environment
    i used this link for the configuration
    http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/configuring_pdf_ifilter_for_ms_sql_server_2005.pdf
    the only difference i see between my Testing environment and my Production environment  is that
    my testing has
    windows sever 2003 sp2 with Sql server 2005 64 bit std sp2   -- works fine
    my production  has
    windows sever 2003 R2sp2 with Sql server 2005 64 bit ent sp3  --does not work, does not index my pdf files

  • When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open.

    When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open (as it did when I used previous versions Photoshop Elements 4 and 9).  I can't even right-click (Windows) on the picture and choose Open With and specifiy Photoshop Elements 12.  I have called Adobe several times (Case No. 185140584) and they keep saying it has been sent up to senior management and they will call me back with a solution - but to no avail!  No return calls and I still can't really use the Product I paid for and downloaded.  The only way I can open up a picture to edit it is to open Photoshop Elements 12 and then then click "Open" and then search for the picture on my hard drive (which takes a lot more time!  I did not experience this difficulty at all with versions 4 or 9!

    Hi,
    You failed to say which Windows system you have - I can get the "Open With" to work on my Windows 7 64bit system.
    When you try to set up the "Open With", are you setting the correct target program?
    It's the green one (not the red one) in the above image.
    Once you have selected that program, make sure you set it as default so that a double click will open the photo in the editor.
    Good luck

  • When I click on a link in an email, it does not automatically open the site page? When I receive an email with a link in it, if I click on the link to open the page, nothing happens. It does not open the internet to that page.

    Hi wellsfar,
    Which version of Adobe Reader you are using?
    Is it showing any error message?
    A screenshot of the error would be more helpful.

    Why Bridge (CS5) does not make a PDF file from multiple images? It used to work fine earlier, but now nothing happens when using OUTPUT for web or PDF.

  • 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.

  • Adobe does NOT automatically open when attachments are 'clicked'

    Thanks for reading this post.  When openning a PDF file attachment within an email or a link from a website, Adobe does not automatically launch to view the documents.  In fact, the file conversion screen pops up instead when I select the 'open' tab from the attachment.  When I click the 'save' option, the save file type only includes HTLM and ALL Files..... this is odd why PDF is not a save type option.   Anyway, any assistance to alievate this problem will be helpful. This is very frustration.... I was also wondering if this could be my Norton 360 that is causing these problems....

    Bill was suggesting an alternative approach, making this the default setting in distiller. This is a preference settings in Distiller. I don't have Acrobat 9 on my Windows machine, but this is what is looks like on the Mac:

  • Safari for windows cannot open PDF files

    I'm posting this topic because it was archived in 2009 without a solution.
    When clicking a pdf link in Safari for windows (4.0.3) it opens a new window but does not show the pdf. The window remains blank with "canceled opening page" in the status bar.
    For me this hangup was caused by the environment variables TEMP and TMP being set to an inaccessible location.
    Basically, to open a pdf file Safari needs to safe it to a temporary location. Then Adobe reader can open it from that location. The location is set in the environment variables TEMP and TMP. For me they were set to "D:\Temp", however D was a CD drive hence the file could not be saved let alone opened.
    Solution: Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced tab>Environment Variables then check/change the user variables TEMP and TMP to something you are sure is accessible like "C:\Temp".
    If this solution works for you please write up a response. Good luck.

    There needs to be a way in Safari (or in Acrobat or Windows) to say "if you download a PDF file from Safari, launch Acrobat and open that file."
    I'm not on a Windows machine to check at the moment, but in the Mac version you can set in the Safari preferences an option to 'Open safe files after downloading'. I wouldn't be surprised if this were missing from the Windows version though due to the additional security implications this could have on Windows. There is no ability to configure different files types to be opened by specific applications from within Safari, unlike Firefox for example.
    You can however open files simply by double clicking the icon in the Downloads window that Safari pops up when a download occurs.
    ... how I tell Apple there needs to be an option to allow Safari to push streamed or downloaded file types to their correct creator application?
    On a Mac, Safari menu -> Report Bugs to Apple...
    On a Windows PC, Safari Help Menu -> Report Bugs to Apple... (I think)

  • Safari 3 won't open PDF files

    Since installing the OS 10.4.11 update, I've been having problems with downloading PDFs. When I try to download, I get a blank, all-gray window, with no content. This does not happen with PDF downloads from all sites, but for a very frustrating majority of them.
    I had a similar problem with the public Beta version of Safari 3 also, though that version crashed every time I tried to download a PDF. De-installation and re-installing Safari 2 solved that issue, but that seems to be more difficult since Apple packaged Safari 3 with the OS update.
    I've been reading through some of the problems others have had, and the proposed solutions, and can say that I have no helper apps or plug-ins to interfere with things.

    Still no good after repairing the disk (no repairs necessary, apparently), and trashing the Safari preference file.
    I've been exploring to see when the problem occurs. Seems to be specific to one large set of sites - scientific journal publishers (e.g. Highwire Press), or databases (e.g. JSTOR), or many articles found through Google Scholar. Other PDFs from various sites seem to come through fine, but journal articles come through as a solid gray window (most of the time). I have noticed that the PDFs that come through okay transition through this gray window, sometimes for a second or so, before the PDF comes up.

  • Adobe Reader XI does not reopen saved PDF files

    Reader XI will not open PDF files saved. Opens PDF saved using earlier version of Reader. Using MAC.

    Good News and bad news.
    The bad news is: The PDFs are irreparably damaged and you'll need to delete them.
    The good news is: you can prevent this from happening again.
    Download the ollfine Reader 11 installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Save the DMG - DO NOT mount it or run the installer yet.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to: Mac HD/Applications
    Trash the Reader 11 app from there
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin file
    Trash the AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin file
    Empty the trash
    Mount the DMG and run the Reader installer.
    Open Safari and go to: Safari>Preferences
    Under the Security Tab, make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.
    You can now redownload the previously "damaged" PDFs and they will open.

  • Safari is closed when opening pdf. files

    My IMac can’t open pdf.files when I try to open them from Safari. I have installed Adobe Reader, but I only get a black page and after 30 seconds the Internet connection is cancelled. I get the following message: “Safari was unexpected closed. The problem could be Updating Plugin-modul.”
    (I can open pdf saved on my IMac.)

    Hi Mikael,
    It sounds like the Adobe PDF plugin is acting up.
    Remove this file to allow Safari to load the PDFs natively (it doesn't need a plugin to display PDFs):
    Hard drive > Library > Internet Plug-Ins > AdobePDFViewer.plugin

  • Why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files

    why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files

    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 PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer 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 (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.
