Safari no longer able to display PDFs inline?

When I visit a site in Safari that displays a PDF inline, Safari refuses to display it and downloads it instead. Anyone else having this problem? In Snow Leopard, Safari could display PDFs inline in the browser just fine...
Andy

Same problem here. As soon as I upgraded to OS X Lion, Safari now downloads PDF's and then launches the viewer. I always loved that Safari was able to view PDF's inline without having to download and launch an external viewer.
Hopefully Apple will fix this soon!
It's still listed as a feature of Safari 5.1 at http://www.apple.com/safari/features.html:
Inline PDF Viewing
Safari on the Mac comes with a built-in PDF engine, allowing you to quickly review PDF documents in Safari without having to install slow and cumbersome third-party plug-ins. The Safari PDF engine lets you zoom in and out and open PDFs in Preview or save them in your Downloads folder.

Safari 6.0 will not display pdf's

When I upgraded to OS X mountain lion and did all of the updates that were required, I found that the new version of safari (6.0) would not display pdf documents in the browser..... here's how i resolved it.
Completely quit safari
Back up data
In Finder select GO > Go to Folder. or use key combo Shift-Command-G and enter the following: /Library/Internet Plug-ins then press return
(it's easier to view in list mode)
Delete the file called " AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin "
Restart Safari and delete the cache and try to view an online pdf.
I found it prudent to have the latest version of flash installed

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.
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 (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, 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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
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.

Why does Safari 5.1.7 not display pdf files anymore?

Why does Safari 5.1.7 not display pdf files anymore? Please fix!

I have this problem too except I see the pdf but it does not print.

PDF addresses not longer load and display PDF in Firefox and solutions suggest to other users with problem DON'T WORK (work fine in Chrome and Safari)

This is an ongoing problem with other users. When putting a PDF in address window of Firefox and clicking go to address FIREFOX WILL NOT LOAD AND DISPLAY THE PDF. This problem has come up in questions from other users on your site. NONE OF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS WORK! (trying either the Firefox PDF viewer or the Acrobat viewer as default viewer)
I am using Firefox 23.0.1 (as some of the other users with the same problem). This was not a problem in the past with Firefox. Safari and Chrome continue load and display PDFs just fine from their addresses. This is a big problem as I now have to inform people who want to view my PDFs NOT TO USE FIREFOX BUT TO USE SAFARI OR CHROME.

It appears that a link to a PDF on an internet page will not download in Firefox either!
I went to this page:
http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/earth_art_detail.html#.UjYEzrwsU08
and tried to download the PDF link at the bottom of the page (Download: PDF 11.3 MB) It didn't work! Nothing happens. Tried it in Safari and it worked flawlessly.
I have a PDF file of my work in the public_html folder on my URL. I give the address generated by that file to people who want to view my work---this works perfectly in Safari and Chrome. As to your other question, can't bookmark it if I can't get to it in Firefox.

My safari screen is unable to display pdf files

I have browsed through the discussions in the apple community and a similar problem has been reported. I am aware that we can save the pdf file by right click and then can open it in another window, but my question is why safari or firefox are not able to display the pdf file. I use adobe to download pdf. It just happened suddenly...Is it that an adobe update might have caused this. I would really appreciate some help on this because not all pdf files can be accessed by using the method I have mentioned above. Quite frustrating.

But it should be offering your the option to use the plug-in for free if for private or educational use. There should be a box or something in the dialog window to tick to state that education/private is your intended use. (It has been many years since seeing that dialog window, so I forget exactly how it looks.) After answering that question, from that point onward it should not bother you about registration anymore.
You are a true genius.
I have told my Papá that for many years and he just smiles at me and shakes his head a bit!
Thank You for extending the courtesy of awarding points to comments that are helpful or provide answers in the Apple Support Communities, as this is not mandatory, but it is much appreciated!

No longer able to download pdf files from websites.

I am running Firefox 11.0 & Aurora on a Mac with OS X 10.6.8.
I used to be able to download pdf files, such as my bank staements, direct from websites with no problem on either browser.
Recently, when clicking on the link, the dialog box asking whether I want to save it or open it no longer appears and nothing else happens. Can't download. My wife has the same problem with a new Mac with OS x 10.7 Lion.
I am also running an older version of Firefox 3.6.28 on a Mac with PPC processor & OS X 10.5.8. With this I have no problems downloading the pdf files I want.
I have compared the Firefox preferences between the two machines and made them the same. Also found the ''Unable to download or save files'' link on Firefox Help and I have Reset the browser.download configs as it suggested. And nothing has changed.
What to do? Anybody out there can help me? Thanks in advance.

Okay, I think I fixed it by going to Add-ons Manager and disabling Adobe Acrobat NPAPI plug-in, version 10.1.3. Now I'm back to downloading PDFs, then opening or saving.

When i loaded the latest version of firefox i was no longer able to open PDF files with Adobie.

I up graded to the new version of fire fox .05 and no longer have my PDF open. I use Adobie. On my lap top they open using 04.

You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

Windows Service no longer able to print PDF files using Adobe Reader 11.0.07.79

We have a Windows Service that watches a folder for PDF files to be deposited. Once awakened, it executes the Adobe Reader in command line mode to print the PDF files to secure check printers. The Windows Service was working fine with 11.0.06.70 but no longer works with 11.0.07.79.
There are no event viewer errors or errors returned to our Process.Start() call. The Windows Service is running under the identify of an administrator account and has explicit full access to the printer. We have also tried the local computer's Administrator account as well as the default Local Service, but none work.
Using ProcMon to examine the failure, it showed Adobe Reader making many successful registry and file accesses. Adobe Reader then creates a new process, another instance of itself to read in the PDF file and print to the printer. However, ProcMon only shows Adobe Reader accessing AcroRd32.exe, syswow.dll (sp) and ntdll.dll and then the thread and process immediately exits with an exit code of 0 (no file or registry accesses). So, something is causing the instantiated process to fail immediately.
After more research and trying many things, we disabled "Enable Protected Mode at Startup". This enabled things to work again.
We are concerned that disabling this feature might expose security concerns for our customers.
We are suspecting that some security concerns were tightened with 11.0.07.79 that has inadvertently caused printing from Windows Services to falsely be identified as security violations. Can you please investigate and provide a resolution?
Thank you.

Hi,
Can you please give the following details:
1) Command (given in command line)used to print PDF files?
2) Is the issue reproducible with other printers as well?
3) Is directly printing the PDF from that folder using command line i.e without using windows service works fine or not?
Thanks,

Safari no longer able to log into secured sites??

" because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to
the server".
This is the error message I've been getting when either logging in
or visiting secured sites.
I recently defragmented my powerbook, and don't know if this
would have caused a security issue or not.
I'm able to view other sites with no problem. just the secured sites
I'm blocked from visiting.
Checked my preferences..cleared cache.. don't know what happened.
I was able to visit secured sites beforehand.
any thoughts?? ~A~

tried it and spent the last 30 min. trying to log in
as adminstrator..
still no luck with getting through on secured sites..
any other thoughts? did the disk utility,etc..
He is something to try:
Go into the Control Panel open Accounts, create a new
user. Log into the new user account, open Safari and
try connecting to a well know site that uses SSL...
If it works, it means something is wrong with your
Safari settings in your account, bad preferences,
etc...
If it doesn't work, you have to delete system-wide
Safari preferences, and perhaps start with Disk
Utilities, Verify Permissions, etc...
Hagrid...

I run Windows 7 and fter installing update, why can I no longer able to distill pdf formats?

I run Windows 7 and use Acrobat as my default printer to store documents as pdf. After installing the update 3.6.13, I can no longer use my distiller as my default printer. How do I correct this. I have been forced to use IE.

No longer able to download pdfs, tried all the stuff on the help page, is this a result of the new version of Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3?

Previously, I had no difficulty w/ downloading pdfs. Now all I get is a blank Firefox screen, with nothing else happening--no downloads window opening up like before, or anything else. I recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat to 10.1.3, and I wonder whether this is related to that? Does FireFox not find the new Acrobat?
I've gone through the things on the Firefox help page like changing download folder and renaming the whatever folder it was from what: rdp? to rdp.old. Does not effect problem.

Thanks Matt. I finally seem to have got it working better now with having gone into the Preferences, Applications, and selected "USE Adobe Acrobat Pro (default)" It had somehow gotten switched to "USE Adobe Acrobat NPAPI plugin..."
I admit to not knowing what I'm doing, but this switch seems to have made it workable again.
Hope this maybe helps others...

Mac Mini no longer able to display full screen on TV display.

I had my mac mini set up correctly with my Samsung 50" tv - using the "Best for display" option within system preferences - Display. I left the computer on overnight and in the morning the screen was messed up. Now I can only see the full screen, with menu bars at the top of the display, if i set preferences with the lowest available resoltion of 720p and using the Underscan option too. Any advice on what went wrong and how to get back to the best setting?

Hey there Slackbast,
It sounds like you are having some graphical issues when you have a TV connected to your Mac Mini, but it used to work fine. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Epson V500 scanner no longer able to create "PDF" file.

Epson tech support advised there is a conflict between the scanner and Adobe PDF maker. Everything worked great up to about 5 days ago when everything stopped. Does Adobe have a "fix" or "patch" for this problem? Thank you

Mobile safari no longer able to authenticate with client certificate in ios 5...

was working in 4.3.5 on iPad, but no more. Imported the cert with ipcu but Safari seems to not recognize that there is a cert installed. All certs are using sha1

Some additional info - the imported certificate works fine for Activesync, VPN, and WiFi, so I know it is installed correctly. When connecting to a web server that requires the certificate, the following is logged in the IPCU console:
MobileSafari[368] <Warning>: no itentities, but we have a challenge <NSURLAuthenticationChallenge: 0x2eeea0>
So to me, it looks like the Web server is requesting the client certificate, but mobilesafari does not see the identity certificate I imported.

No longer able to convert PDF files to Word.

Up until a couple of days ago I could convert PDF files to Word. Why can't I now?

Hi M & B P,
Are you receiving an error message? As Pat indicated, we need a bit more to go on to try to help troubleshoot this.
