How to remove quicktime as safari pdf reader

Running 10.6.8 and recently updated Safari to 5.1.7. PDFs load in Safari via Quicktime and only show the first page, with no ability to zoom. How can I reset Preview as my Safari pdf reader?

Right or control click a PDF file you have stored on the hard drive then click Get Info
Click the pop up menu next to: Open with
Select Preview
Then click: Change All

Safari pdf reader not recognizing page numbers

Is there a way to code a link to a pdf so that Safari will open to a particular page within the pdf rather than to the front page?

I think I've discovered the problem, but I'm no expert, so you'd have to test it or apply your knowledge to determine if I'm correct. The Adobe document I liked to says that you must use the format
A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=4" (with < and > symbols at the beginning and end to enclose the link.)
for targeted links, and that you can't use "URLS containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder\), then you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations."
The latter appears to be what you are doing; i.e., http://www.franciscan.edu/uploadedFiles/TopLevel/About/FactBook/FactBook.pdf#page=11
So if you were to change it to the former method, it should work.
As for testing, creating new User accounts is just like creating your own account initially: open system Preferences > Accounts and click on the "+" sign at the bottom left, give it a name and a password, then you can logout of the account you're in and into the new account for testing.

Hi ..
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:

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.

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.

Can't set a default pdf reader for Safari

After about two weeks of working perfect safari can not find a pdf reader and therefore can not open pdf files on line. What can I do? I have Acrobat Reader and preview installed but I can not select them to set them as default readers when asked when I try to open a pdf link. Thanks for you help.

Glad to see the problem was solved from the suggestion provided.

Adobe Reader XIをインストールしたら.SafariでPDFが表示できなくなりました(Mac OS X 10.8.4).

Mac OS X 10.8.4で使用しているMacBook Pro（Early 2011）に
Adobe Reader XIをインストールし、指示に従って11.0.03にアップデート
したのですが、Safari（6.0.5 (8536.30.1)）上でPDFが開かれずにグレーの
画面が表示されてしまいます。
（ネット上／ローカルを問わず、PDFが表示できません。）
10.8.4の前に使用していた10.6.8環境でAdobe Reader XIをインストール
した場合は正常にプラグインが機能しました。
日本郵便のサービスで、画面上のPDFフォームで印刷コマンドをしないと
印刷できないサービスがあり、事実上そのサービスが利用できずに
非常に困っています。
解決方法をお教えいただきたく、よろしくお願いいたします。

私も全く同様の現象がありました。私の場合は以下の手順で復旧しましたので試してみてください。
まずAdobe Readerをアンインストール→(この時、ゴミ箱にそのまま削除よりもApp Cleanerというフリーソフトでアンインストールしますと関連ファイルも一緒に削除して
くれますので楽です)HD→ライブラリ→Internet Plug-InsでAdobePDFViewerNPAP.pluginを削除(PDF関連のプラグインもあればそれも削除してください)
その後、再起動してから改めてAdobe Readerをインストール、アップデートで完了です。また余談ですがMacはReaderをインストールしなくても
標準アプリの"プレビュー"でpdfも閲覧出来る様な仕様となっています。

Safari can't find pdf reader

I can't currently read any pdfs while viewing on safari, it states it can't see a pdf viewer. Any ideas how I re-link it to it to acrobat?

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.

How do I make Preview the default PDF reader on Safari?

I reinstalled Adobe and somehow it has become the default PDF reader for Safari. I prefer to use Preview, but I can't figure out how to set it back to Preview.

... a 5-10 minute job.
in order to change the default PDF viewer in Safari from Adobee, you need to have root user access!
a bit tedious but really a easy task - see below:
How to enable the root user:
OS X Mavericks
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
Click Login Options....
Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
come up with a password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK. (you don't have to remember it forever)
then, log out as yourself and log back in as the root user...
at the login screen, the username will be root, and the password will be the one just made up in Step 10 above.
don't set up with icloud or anything - just cancel any popups that ask for keychain or whatever...just get to the desktop screen and then, from the menu bar at the top of the desktop screen...choose the Go menu....now hold down the option key and another choice on the menu (for the library) should show up...
choose library.
in the search bar at the top right of the finder window for the library folder, type kind:plugin.... the two plugins should show up. be sure the search is searching the library folder.
after you have trashed the two adobe pdfviewer plugins, empty the trash and log out as the root user ...
now, disable root user:
to disable the root user
OS X Lion and Mavericks
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click on the lock and authenticate with an administrator account.
Click Login Options....
Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right
Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Disable Root User from the Edit menu.
...sorry this explanation is a bit slapdash... hope you've had success... hit me off with a point if it helps!

Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears. Any way to fix this?

Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears. Any way to fix this?

Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

How do I change the default PDF reader from Acrobat Pro to Preview?

Right now Acrobat Pro is set as the default PDF reader in my Safari 3. It's slow and wonky, which I think might be a 10.5 issue. Anyway I'd like to make Preview my default PDF reader for Safari but I can't find where to make this change.

Hi Harry
You may also have to remove the Adobe PDF plug-in(s) from your Internet Plug-ins folder. If so, create a new folder in the Library where the Internet Plug-ins folder is located, calling it Internet Plug-ins - disabled. Move the file(s) to there. This way, if you need to use Adobe again, it's as simple as moving the file back, then reselecting the option in the Adobe app.
After so, restart Safari and try a PDF.

Opening Safari pdf documents automatically in Preview

With Lion, Safari opens pdf documents in a Safari tab by default (as it did in OS X 10.6). I want pdfs to open automatically in Preview (or Acrobat depending on what I have set as the default pdf reader) without having to Cmd-Click/Open in Preview. This was possible in 10.6 by disabling an adobe plugin. Is there now an option for opening pdf documents in Preview by default, rather than in a Safari tab?

Also these documents are protected from Saving and Printing.
You can't protect PDF documents from saving.

Can't set Skim as default pdf reader

I recently updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I needed to download a pdf from a government site but when using my default pdf reader, Skim, I got an error message saying I needed to use Adobe, so I switched my default to Adobe Reader. When I was finished I tried to switch my default back to Skim by going into get info on a pdf file and setting it to Skim, then open all with this app. When I clicked out of the application field after choosing Skim the field kept popping back to Adobe. I was able to change the default to Preview without a problem, but I can't get Skim to stick. I can still open files with Skim by choosing "open with", but they revert back to Adobe or Preview icons when I close them. Skim does not become their default. Any suggestions on why this is happening and if it can be fixed?

Link,
I can't even get that far. When I have the "info" screen open and click on Skim in the drop down list, the entry reverts back to the previous default (Preview or Adobe). I can choose a bunch of inappropriate apps, like Safari or Kindle, and those will stay in the open with box, but Skim disappears. Weird.
