SAFARI DOES NOT DISPLAY PDF DOCS.

Does anyone know why my Safari browser suddenly does not show PDF docs in the browser window? It used to. I use Version 2.04. A message does appear that says "plug-in cancelled". I don't know why.
Acrobat opens it in Firefox fine, but nothing happens in Safari. I prefer Safari for viewing PDFs online because it is more convenient than having Acrobat start up and drop files on my hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Safari does not display pdf's properly...

MacMini 2010, OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.10
Safari is not displaying pdf's properly that I can see perfectly in Chrome and Firefox...I get this weird pattern of black shapes....
Works OK on my laptop OS 10.7.5, Safari 6.1.1 (after I allow it to access Adobe Reader...)
Any ideas? The pdfs are printed/made from MS word docs. The header is a placed image. Also attaching screen shot from FF.
Thanks

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

Safari will not display pdf files since installing OS 10.8.2

Safari will not display pdf files uner Lion 10.8.2

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.

Upgraded to 2.0.2 and Safari does not display iphone webpages

Hi All,
are you having the same problem? After upgrading to 2.0.2 Safari does not display for iphone formatted webpages in the right format anymore! Any idea what to do to overcome this situation (besides waiting for the next update?)
Best Regards
Christoph

I am not seeing the problem at all.
All the iPhone specific web pages I have tried work fine.
Try a reset.

Yosemite - MacBook Air 10.10 - "Notes" does not open - "Preview" opens, but does not display PDF's - "iCal" works in new strange ways, as if no one checked its operation - Everything worked very well until Upgrade to Yosemite ! - Happen to others?

Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

Safari does not open pdf

Just began to notice that Safari does not open PDF files anymore. PDF's do not automatically download either. One solution I checked was to removed anything with PDF from internet plugins in LIBRARY, but I have none. I was directed to install Adobe Reader. I already have Acrobat Pro installed. Shouldn't preview be what is needed to view PDF? Sugestions?

What I ended up doing was to to follow these dirs:

Hi,
I also installed Adobe Reader because an ebook I downloaded wouldn't open without it.
I then chose Adobe Reader as my default. When I later uninstalled it using the Trash Me app-which usually clears everything out-I couldn't get Preview back as the default.
I went to the "Library/Internet plug-ins" path and trashed the two Adobe Reader plug ins that were there. I used Secure Empty Trash, and then shut down completely and did not check the box to reopen any windows. Then I restarted the Mac.
I not only shut down Safari, I closed all applications and shut down the Mac completely being sure to uncheck the "relaunch with windows open" button. When I turned the Mac back on, I opened Safari and went to an online PDF that I had been trying to open previously to test the app. It opened this PDF using Preview and showed it in Safari.
I then tested using a PDF from my files and it opened in Preview.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy / paste: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.
This worked for me and Safari now reads PDFs as is always did.

Preview does not display pdf properly

I have OS X 10.5.8 and Preview 4.2. Preview will not display a bank statement properly. Most of the content is missing. I initially thought this was the bank's fault, but the pdf statement displays OK on my work Mac using Adobe Acrobat Professional. On Preview, howerver, at work (OS X 10.4) it also does not display properly.
Can anyone suggest a fix, or does Apple read these discussions...? Thanks. Graham

"Preview is meant for previewing PDFs generated by OSX applications for printing.
OSX uses its own code to generate and display PDFs, not Adobe's code.
Adobe has been adding features to its PDF code that is used by some non-Apple software.
PDFs generated by such software may not display correctly with Preview, but will work with the latest Adobe Reader."
(courtesy of Malcolm Rayfield in this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/12739728#12739728 )
So, download and install the latest free Adobe Reader on your home Mac for these statements.

Does anyone know why after upgrading to Mavericks, Safari will not display PDF files, is there a solution?

I cannot get Safari to display PDF files, it shows a blank screen with the comment that Safri has blocked PDF, however when you unblock it still does not show the PDF, I have had to rely on Firefox for this, which I find not too good. Any help very much appreciated.

Safari 6 does not display pdf files!

No matter what website I go to if I need to display a pdf file especially on government sites which I deal with a lot being a paralized vet. I have to tell you I am disappointed with the last couple vers. of Safari. Half the time auto fill doesn't work. Many times i'll just type the name of the address and in past versions of Safari it would fill in the other stuff, www., .com, etc. Well not any more. I've switched to making Google Chrome since it displays pdf's. Apple, you cn do better than this!!! O, by the way I've been using Apple products since the iic, and I've been using the internet from it's beginnings.This is the first time I"ve had any complaint about Safari up until now it's been my browser of choice.

David...
All browsers require some maintenance at one time or another, or troubleshooting whether it's Safari, or Chrome, Firefox.. etc. I've yet to have any issues with Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.
For the PDF issue...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the AdobePDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
For autofill. Try troubleshtooting the Safari.plist (preferences)
Back to the Finder. Go > Go to Folder.
Type this: ~/LIbrary/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go the move the Safari .plist file to the Desktop. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that that helped the autofill issue, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't work, Go > Go to Folder.
Type this: ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go the move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try autofill.

Safari does not display text on some sites.

I am running OSX 10.10.2 and Safari 8.03
Some sites I visit do not display text at all.
For example: This site (http://neflin.org/) looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, whatever. But in Safari, it has no text at all. See below.
Mail is having difficult with some text in html email too.
I have rebooted, reset the PRAM, deleted preferences and turned off extensions. I checked the Guest account and created a new account and in all cases the problem persists.
I have validated fonts in Font Book, restored standard fonts and looked for duplicates. Nothing.
Flash and Java are up to date.
Any thoughts?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

Safari does not display images

Yesterday - suddenly- Safari stopped displaying images on any web page. Fo example on Apple.com the picture of the large Apple does not come up and so on. Should I re-install Safari- download again? Just to check the images DO display in Explorer which I had to use to post this.
thank you.

I had exactly the same trouble. I followed these instructions--emptied the cache and ditched the plist file, and when I restarted, they were all there again. I've been suffering with no images for a long time--I wish I would have done this sooner--it was easy!
