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.
Ian

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.

Safari won't open pdf files on my iphone 5c

Safari won't open pdf files on my iphone 5c. Whenever I try to open a link leading to a pdf from say the google search page it won't load up. If I touch-and-hold, the. choose "open", I get taken to a blank page. There are not buttons, like the one that offer to open the pdf in iBooks for example. I get the same result in the google Chrome app.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go
If you see this plugin: AdobePDFviewerplugin
Move it to the trash, then quit and relaunch Safari and try a PDF file.

Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3. They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4

Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

Are these local or online documents? If online, in what browser? If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

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 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 can't open PDF files?

My Safari 1.3.1 operating in MacOS 10.3.9 cannot open any PDF files. Whenever I click on a link from which a PDF file can be downloaded, Safari asks me to select an Acrobat application. I do select Acrobat Reader 7.0.7 from my Applications folder, but then Safari only gives me a blank window, with no PDF file to view. The problem is likely in Safari, because I've also tried to open the PDF files stored in my own webpage, which I know that open and read well with other web browsers. I've also read the Help area of Safari, but it gave no useful clue to solve this problem. I have two eMacs and this same problem happens in both computers, that is, I can't open any PDF file using Safari! Does anyone know how to do it? Please write me back to [email protected]
Thanks,
Ricardo
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Safari 1.3.1 and Acrobat Reader 7.0.7

I have already set the Desktop folder as the download destination. Safari simply does not put the PDF files there. Again, it asks me for the application to use, I choose AR 7.0.7, but then I get a blank window instead of the opened PDF file that I need to see. If anyboyd knows how to solve this, please let me know. Thanks.

You have a VERY old version of Acrobat (5) installed. The latest version is X (10). You should update to reader X and try again -> http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Safari won't open PDF files anymore.

Hi, This is a new problem for me. I have Mavericks 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.6. Whenever I click on a PDF link on a web page, I get a black screen - no error message at all. The link works properly in Firefox. I looked at my installed plugins and there are a couple for PDFs. I've got Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro both installed. Does anyone have any idea what could have changed or what I am missing?
Thanks!

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 crashes when opening PDF file- why?

Every time I click on a link which does not open an HTML file but instead tries to open a PDF file within the Safari browswer window, the spinner spins for a very long time and eventually Safari crashes.
I can download pdf files but sometimes the website doesn't tell you what the button is going to do.
Safari version 1.3 (v312)
No use running anything beyond Panther on this G3 due to memory & speed issues.

Unlike Safari RSS, Safari 1.3 does not have native PDF support. It looks like there might be a plugin issue at work here, perhaps a faulty adobe installation or plugin incompatibility. Make sure your plugins, e.g. Schubert-It PDF Browser and Adobe Reader, are up to date and if they are, you might want to consider reinstalling them.
Alternatively, and I don't know if this applies to Panther or not, ensure that 'PDF Image' is unchecked in QT's MINE settings. (System Preferences > QuickTime > Advanced > MIME Settings... > under 'Images - Still image files')

Safari doesn't open PHP files

If i try to open a PHP file in safari, it shows the code. If the PHP file isn't local, for example, on a local website (using air sharing on my ipod touch and adding php files to it), it will download the file. If I open it there, it will only display the codes like it does on the original file on my mac. I'm trying to use wordpress but it doesn't work. Once I think i saw some of the page working (it was the login page and it was PHP). But i've tried everything i could do but it never worked again. Please help me! Thanks!

You don't open PHP files in Safari.
Safari doesn't know how to run PHP code so it just displays the file content.
You need to run them under a web server - the web server runs the code and outputs the appropriate content.
By default, on Mac OS X you start up the built-in web server (System Preferences -> Sharing -> Personal Web Sharing) and should place the files in /Library/WebServer/Documents/
You then access them in Safari via something like:
http://localhost/my.php
