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 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 3.2.1 for XP does not display all graphics properly

    Safari 3.2.1 for XP does not display all graphics properly, including the Apple Support Website http://www.apple.com/support/.

    Maybe this will also help:
    If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
    • history.plist
    • lastsession.plist
    (Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
    (These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
    3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
    (Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
    4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
    Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.

  • 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.

  • WinCE Projector does not display flash file properly

    Hi,
    I built a projector application for loading flash files on a
    Windows CE 5.0 based embedded device. I am using Flash player 7 for
    WinCE5.0. The projector was built using embedded VC++ for an ARM
    processor.
    The basic idea of this flash application is content delivery.
    So, this projector loads a container flash file stored locally on
    the device. This container flash file communicates with a remote
    server(webserver or FMS) to retrieve content (flash files, audio,
    video, images, text etc.). Right now, I am trying to load a series
    of flash files from the remote server - one by one - like a series
    of ads.
    The problem is that, the series of flash files loaded does
    not display properly inside the main container file. I am using a
    loader component in the main container flash file. All the flash
    files loaded must play full screen. But some files do not play
    fullscreen. It automatically shrinks to a smaller random size. This
    behaviour does not repeat. It occurs randomly for any of the series
    of files I am trying to load in the container flash.
    When i tested the application on the desktop, it works fine.
    But on the device, the loaded flash files shrink automatically. Can
    someone explain why this is happening? Is this problem usually
    associated with flash player on embedded devices?
    I am stuck with this problem for a long time. I tired
    different methods to get around it, but could not succeed. So I
    would really appreciate it, if anyone can throw some light on this
    issue and preferably provide a solution?
    Thank you,
    Jothishankar

    I am using Flash Professional CS6.
    It lets me edit all the symbols and bitmaps, and key frames.
    However, it just publishes as a SWF a bit incorrectly.
