Safari doesn't display pdf file from within Dropbox

When I click on a link on a web page that takes me to a pdf file located in a shared Dropbox folder, Safari only gives me a solid black page and doesn't open the pdf file. All the other browsers do, Chrome, Firefox and even IE. How can I fix this? I have Mountain Lion and the latest version of Safari. Pdf-plugin-244 is installed. I tried the suggestion in another posting about viewing pdf files in Safari, and it didn't fix the problem.

Pdf-plugin-244 is installed.
Test without it.

Safari isn't displaying PDF files

A friend has a new iMac with 10.4.10 and no Adobe software installed unless it came from Apple.
Using Safari to access the pay check site at adp.com she selects the pay stub date and it opens a window but doesn't display the PDF of the paycheck. Is there a setting for Safari that enables display of PDFs in the browser? The site is designed for IE and Netscape.
I installed Firefox 2 and when it accesses the site it prompts for what application to use to view the PDF and we chose Preview. The PDF gets downloaded and Preview displays it just fine. Would prefer that this get done in Safari instead though.

I can't remember if an Adobe Reader is in the Apple install or not, but Safari should use it's own reader unless told otherwise (for example, from the Adobe Reader preferences). You can try looking in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and /Users/yourusernamehere/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folders for a file named AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If one is there, move it out of the folder (for example, to your desktop), restart Safari, and retry your PDF file.

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 doesn't open PDF-files on a homepage

Hey there,
I bought the new iPad to work with it at the university.
Now I can't even open the PDF-files from our homepage (it's moodle). Safari shows me the first site of the file and I'm not able open it in another program or even copy and paste the presentation.
I installed Acrobat Reader but nothing changed, using the link of the file in keynote wasn't the answer... so what's the solution -.-
Ian

Great idea but it's not working ...
I'm studying at The University of Education at ludwigsburg, Germany.
Your App wasn't sucessfull maybe our modle Version is older than 2.4 or i'm not able to enter the right URL.
Or where can i change the certificat?
Have fun with my English written on a german keyboard.

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.

I am new to Flash Builder 4.5 and I need to show a PDF file from my server on Android device.
Is there any suggestion how I can do this.
Thanks in advance,
Mana

I really don't know how I should use <html>, But if you mean "htmlloader", that doesn't work on android. I have a piece of code as below:
private var pdf:HTMLLoader;var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("a URL/mypdf.pdf");
pdf = new HTMLLoader();pdf.load(request);
But it does not work.
Could you help me with <html> and how i can use it in my code?
Thanks,

Safari doesn't display PDFs anymore

Hi all,
after reinstalling 10.8.2 on a Late 2012 mini, Safari does not show PDF files in its window (I have to download the file and open it in other apps).
Have I lost an extension or something?
How can I fix this please?
Thanks

Acrobat 11 doesn't create pdf. files from doc. files

I tried to create a pdf. file from a doc. file (Office 2003). Acrobat 11 instead opens a warning message with the following contents (translated from German):
A high security level has been chosen. Start the application that created the document, activate the dialogue "safety warning", choose "always trust macros from this resource, activate ... from Adobe Systems Inc. (the message aborts there).
I selected "Extras/Macro/Safety/Safety level" , there I selected "low". The above mentioned message still comes up.
What do you suggest to do in order to finally create pdf. files from doc. files?
Additional information: Creating pdf. files from xls. files (Excel), txt. files (Editor) and saving a webpage as a pdf. file all work fine.
Thanks for your input!

Although Office 2003 is old compared to Acrobat XI, according to Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications it should work, though support has passed end of life.
So my first test (if it were me) would be to see if PDFMaker works if run in the simplest way (the only way I ever use it, this right click conversion stuff isn't in my worldview). That is, does the Acrobat menu appear in Word and does it work? If it does not work, no other method based on it can work.

Why Acrobat Reader doesn't open pdf-files from Safari?

I'm new Mac user and cannot find answer why I cannot open pdf-files directly from Safari. My Macbook OS X 10.9.3 and Safari is 7.0.4. Only way to open pdf-files is to download the content first and then open it. If I try to open it directly Acrobat says "Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the end user license agreement". I have downloaded Acrobat Reader several times already and cannot understand what I'm doing wrong.

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 or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk 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 by pressing 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.

Safari (Snow Leopard) will not link to website (pdf) files from within other pdf files

Meeting agendas (in pdf format) have 'web links' to other pdf files, but Safari says not enough info in the webaddress. But it works O.K. in Windows Explorer.

Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

Wont display pdf files from bookmarked sites

I've upgraded to Firefox 4 and now when I go to some of bookmarked sites that have attached PDF files, I'm unable to view those PDF files. I didn't have this problem with Firefox 3.5, however, per your suggestion, I've downloaded Firefox 4 to avoid any possible security issues. Any possible solutions, or is it possible to revert to using 3.5 w/0 any security issues?
