Safari PDF disable option?

I'm using a fairly old mac (G4 466Mhz) and it takes waaaay too long to have pdf's open in the browser.
Is there a way to disable this pdf viewing in Safari?
I know about option clicking files to start downloading them instead, but you don't always have that option or even know that certain links are pdf's sometimes.

Hi Hans
if you mean safari's default pdf handler, rather than schubertit or adobe acrobat plugins...?
you can do this via the Terminal, first quit safari, then enter defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport 1 then press Enter; change the 1 to a 0 to re-enable pdf's in the browser.
I imagine that many safari/OS X tweak/maintenance applications will also allow this to be changed w/o using the Terminal.

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

Adobe PDF writer has taken over my computer for documents, how do I change it back to Safari PDF ?

How do I change back to Safari PDF viewer and get rid of Adobe?

Find a PDF file in the Finder, select it and go File > Get Info. Find the Open With section and change the application from Adobe Reader (?) to whatever other PDF viewing app you prefer (Safari.app?). Click on the button that activates in that section (Change All...) and say Yes to making every PDF open with the new option your choose.
In my opinion, viewing PDFs posted on websites in Safari is fine, but viewing PDFs downloaded or that reside on your iMac are better suited to being viewed using Adobe Reader (though you might not be used to what it does), or Preview. You should explore what they have to offer.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
The document you have linked to was created by Livecycle Designer and these type of forms (XFA Forms) can only be edited in the LiveCycle Designer Product.
The LiveCycle designer is part of this quite ( although it can be used as a stand alone product)

Open file in Photoshop CS4 with PDF open options

Hi, I need to open Illustrator file in Photoshop with PDF open options and set the crop page options to media box. I am not sure how to do it. Here what I have that doesn't work:
*open file "SPACE:Marketing:webTemplatesCreation:working:die_front.ai" with PDF open options media box crop page*
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

Open options are a list… So you supply like so…
open theFile as PDF with options ¬
{class:PDF open options, bits per channel:eight, constrain proportions:true, crop page:media box, mode:CMYK, page:i, resolution:300, suppress warnings:true, use antialias:true, use page number:true}
Where 'theFile' is an alias of your PDF file and 'i' is your page to open (if in a loop) else use an integer…

"PDF Open Options" in Applescript

So I am trying to batch convert a bunch of PDFs to JPEG files as part of a larger Applescript, and I'm finding that some of the parameters in "PDF Open Options" are ignored. Namely, the "height", "width" and "constrain proportions" parameters.
This code is lifted directly from the Photoshop CS3 Scripting Guide (with filename changed, of course):
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
set myFilePath to alias "WABEL0457937:Users:Charles:Desktop:8925.pdf"
with timeout of 10000 seconds
open myFilePath as PDF with options {class:PDF open options, height:pixels 100, width:pixels 200, mode:RGB, resolution:72, use antialias:true, page:1, constrain proportions:false}
end timeout
end tell
In the resulting file, the "resolution" is correct, but the height and width are calculated using the PDF's original height and width multiplied by the resolution, and the image is constrained to the original proportions.
I thought it might be a collision with specifying the resolution and the height/width in pixels, so I tried omitting the resolution, but then it just defaults to 300.
Anyone else create a script that opens PDFs and run into this?

Thanks for that!
(If those parameters are deprecated since CS2, it's probably bad form for Adobe to use them in their documentation for CS3. Just sayin'!)
Anyway, it looks like the shell script you quoted gives the page height in points with an assumed resolution of 72 DPI. I can use that with my target dimension to calculate what to set the resolution to.
In case it helps anyone else, here's the working code I came up with:
-- ("str_replace" is a custom function to find and replace text in a string, it's not built-in to Applescript)
set pageHeight to do shell script "/usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemPageHeight " & quoted form of (POSIX path of this_item as string)
set pageHeight to my str_replace("kMDItemPageHeight = ", "", pageHeight)
set pageWidth to do shell script "/usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemPageWidth " & quoted form of (POSIX path of this_item as string)
set pageWidth to my str_replace("kMDItemPageWidth = ", "", pageWidth)
if (pageHeight as number) is greater than (pageWidth as number) then
set pdf_resolution to round (1000 / (pageHeight as number) * 72) rounding up
else
set pdf_resolution to round (1000 / (pageWidth as number) * 72) rounding up
end if
try
with timeout of 5 seconds
open alias ("WABEL0457937:Users:Charles:Desktop:Test:image_prep:" & image_id & ".pdf") as PDF with options {class:PDF open options, resolution:pdf_resolution, mode:RGB, use antialias:true, suppress warnings:false, use page number:true, page:1, crop page:media box}
end timeout
on error
-- I have some sections here that check for and handle progress windows, password prompts, and such
-- so the script can either continue or fail gracefully
end try
All of the images coming out of this script are just over 1000 pixels at their widest dimension. Since it's not critical that they be exactly 1000 (just very close), I was able to completely eliminate the resizing portion of the script to save even more processing time.
Thanks for the pointers, everyone!

Export to PDF with Options

Hi,
I would like to export the active document to PDF with options [Standard options] using vbscript.
Is there any sample or references for this?
Thanks,

A quick copy to help you getting started.

The command can be found in VB reference guide (and scripting guide I believe)

OIM - How To not show the "Disable" option for a Resource object to a group

Hello there,
Is there anyway we can remove or don't show the option to "Disable" a already provisioned resource object ?
I have a requirement over here wherein there is no reason available to show the "disable" option out of the 3 available - "enable", "disable" and "revoke" for an already provisioned RO.
How can we remove it ? We don't want users belonging to a specific group see that option, at all.
Is there any menu item associated with it ? or is there any other way we can configure it ?
Please advise to the earliest.
Thanks !!
P.S.: this is OIM 9102 running on solaris.

Modify JSP:
And to do this just for a particular group, put your java code in JSP itself. This is the easiest approach.
Otherwise you can modify the action class to return two action forwards and then use two different JSP's.
Thanks

I get this message "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again. I have this file from when I had CS4. It worked then. I trying to make

I get this message when I am trying to save a file that was done in CS4, now using CS6 "Cannot save the file as the font "ArmenianLSU-italic" could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. Turn off the pdf compatibility option and try again." Even if I start a new file I unable to save it with this font. I need to use this font.

Then you need to outline all text before savng the PDF.
Make sure you do this on a copy of the file.

How to set PDF Job option using FDK11?

Hi,
I have a tool to convert Framebook into PDF and this works good. But the generated pdf is not of the same size as it is generated through FrameMaker Save as PDF. With the FrameMaker API, I get a dialog box to choose the different PDF Job options available. I came across a similar provision with FDK which also has a property to set the PDF Job options but it doesnt work as expected. Please correct me if my approach is wrong.
                params = F_ApiGetSaveDefaultParams();
                i = F_ApiGetPropIndex(&params, FS_FileType);
                params.val[i].propVal.u.ival = FV_SaveFmtPdf;
                i = F_ApiGetPropIndex(&params, FP_PDFJobOption);
                params.val[i].propVal.u.ival = F_StrCopyString ((StringT)"Smallest File Size");
Thanks,
Venkat

As far as I know, the only way to specify PDF options is by programmatically displaying the PDF Options dialog (via WinAPI calls), "selecting" the options and "pressing" the OK button. There have been numerous discussions on this topic on the Yahoo frame_dev group ..
     http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/frame_dev/search/messages?query=pdf%20options
And here's some code ..
     http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/frame_dev/conversations/messages/1578
You may be able to set the options as you're doing, but I don't think they are "set" until you display the dialog and "press" the OK button.

Acrobat hijacked Safari PDF's

All PDF's are shown by the Acrobat Reader plug-in. There is a preference in Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 (Prefs/Internet/Dispay PDF is browser using). Unchecking this does NOT stick. Next time I open Acrobat or even enter Preferences, the checkbox is set again. Is there a way to stop Acrobat from taking over Safari PDF's?
best regards
Lars

Lars,
Quit Safari.
Find and remove the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and archive it into a different folder. It will be located in either: Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins or ~Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
Restart Safari.

PDF download option to be enabled

Hello All,
I am new to ISA development, and need your detailed help and advice on the requirement. Please note that I am working on ISA R3.
The requirement is to have a pdf download option on the orderstatusdetail.jsp . From backend, I am being given a RFC with binary format output in a table to accomplish this.
Please tell me how to proceed ahead.
Thanks & Regards,
Vibha

Not sure if you are still waiting for an answer. Below details:
1. Add a link on your jsp to call an action
2. Implement action, bo, bo implementation, backend classes with corresponding methods and parameters
3. In your backend class call the fm to get the xstring data, convert to byte array and pass it all the way back to your action
4. Now with the byte array open a pdf file using mime type application/pdf
5. reply back if you get stuck

Safari PDF viewer

I download a lot of pdfs. But I don't want to view them in the pdf viewer contained within Safari. Is there any way to turn off the safari pdf viewer so that when I click on a link to download the pdf, it will download it to the folder that I specified?
thanks, Anthony

What I forgot to mention is that control-click does not work. These pdfs are from science journals that are liscenced to the institution I am at. When I control click it, it downloads something that has the extension .htm and when I click on this, it takes me directly to the web page to view the pdf in the viewer. I just don't like the hasel of opening the pdf in the viewer then saving the pdf to a folder on my computer. Before the viewer was installed in Safari, I used just click on the link and it would download it to wherever I wanted. I was just hoping there was some way to turn "off" the pdf viewer.
thanks, Anthony
