Safari does not display PDF files?

My Safari browser does not display pdf files.  Whenever a site I'm reading links to a pdf file, a new page open in black but without content.

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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    Update to 10.9.1

  • 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 open PDF files

    For some reason, Safari decided to download PDF files instead of opening them. I have trashed my safari.plist file and still nothing. I have uninstalled Acrobat Reader and trashed all the files associated with it, including the PDFviewer plug-in. How do I fix this?

    I had similar problems and the problem was solved as a side effect of my solving a scanner printer problem. I have an HP all in one (8500) and never could get the scanner to work properly. I called HP and they walked me through uninstalling and then going file by file through different folders to delete stray files that didn't uninstall with the uninstaller.
    I then installed the new drivers and all my HP printer functions worked. Next time I opened a PDF with Safari it opened within the application and worked perfectly. Everyone is talking about an adobe conflict (which I also experienced earlier) but if getting rid of adobe plug-ins doesn't work maybe its printer related ... worked for me.

  • 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.

  • 6.0.2 version of Safari does not show pdf files

    When I click on a link to see a pdf file a darkened blank window opens but the pdf file never appears.  Is there a specific setting that needs to be set?  I did not have this problem before I upgraded to version 6.0.2.

    I downloaded pdf-plugin-244.dmg from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/.

  • 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.

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.
