  • Make Safari open PDF in preview automatically, by default

    Is there any way I can make Safari open (download + view) PDF links in Preview?
    I know that Safari opens PDFs in its own viewer, and then I can use the semi-opaque 4-button toolbar at the bottom of the window (when the toolbar is visible) to Open PDF in Preview, but that's a fair bit of extra work from a UI perspective.
    I click the link to the PDF, and the PDF opens in a new Safari window. 
    I move the mouse to the bottom of the page, wait for the gray toolbar to appear, then click the Open PDF in Preview.
    (This is assuming the toolbar shows itself, which for some reason it has stopped doing on some PDFs.)
    Now I've got a Preview window with my document, plus the useless Safari PDF view, plus my original webpage.
    It's tedious and cumbersome.
    Yes I know I could option-click the PDF link to automatically download the file, but that doesn't automatically open the file after it is downloaded.  Either way I have to mess around to open the file as I'd like to.

    Right-click on the PDF document; select Get Info from the pop-up menu; in the lower half is a section labeled Open With. Select Preview from the choices listed, then click Change All... to make Preview the default appp for PDF documents.

  • How do I make Safari open PDF's using installed Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0

    I would like to force Safari 3.1.2 to open all PDF links using Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0. How do I accomplish this? I have no problem making Safari use the Adobe Reader, however, I would like to use the full Adobe Program so I can save and download interactive PDF forms I have filled out on the web. Using the Adobe reader, you can only download the form itself - all supplied information using the form's interactive features are lost when the filled in form is downloaded.

    Hello, Carolyn:
    Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, it is not working for me. I have both Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0 and Acrobat Reader v. 9.0.0 running on my computer. In either program's preferences both programs are availabe when I choose the program to display PDF files in the browser (Safari). There is no problem setting Safari's PDF handling to the default value.
    When I choose Acrobat Reader to be the program to display PDF files in the browser, Safari will indeed use Acrobat Reader. However, when I choose Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0, Safari does not use the Adobe Acrobat program to display the PDF file, rather the file is displayed by the PDF handling features built in to Safari. I have found no way to make Safari use the full version of Adobe Acrobat. PDF files residing on my computer opens without difficulty using my copy of Adobe Acrobat v. 7.1.0. Do you have any other ideas that would help solve this problem?

  • Some PDF files garbled in Safari and PDF HD

    I have a 3 page sample of a book on my website (generated from InDesign) that reads fine on the Mac Safari and other programs on the Mac.
    However, the PDF will only show garbled, overlying text when viewed on the iPad Safari and PDF HD. It is not file size related as I have an 8-page newsletter nearly four times the size of file and also created in InDesign --> PDF that views just fine.
    I have exported the PDF and also print to PDF as a new file and it still comes out a mess.
    The graphics and music illustrations are ok, some lines of text, and titles. The fonts used are Times TT and Helvetica. There is also a IPA linguistic font used. Basically all other text in the three pages is just garbage.
    Anyone else see this happening and how can I fix the situation so clients can see the sample on iPad? Can the imbedded EPS files in the document be what is fouling things up? The illustrations are essential for the sample from the book.

    I have this same problem in all PDF readers and Safari.
    The problem exacerbates itself when a PDF document gets zoomed in or out.
    I have some large, multi-page PDFs that are fine and some that aren't.
    I even have one or two page PDFs that exhibit the same issues.
    I can't see any pattern to whether a PDF will view correctly or not.
    I have reported this via Apple iPad feedback.
    You may want to do the same to let Apple know tis is an issue on some iPads or iOS software.
    Here's the feedback link

  • Saving from Safari as PDF results in an icon with 0 byte volume that fails to open as it is "damaged" Why and how to solve?

    saving from Safari as PDF results in an icon with 0 byte volume that fails to open as it is "damaged" Why and how to solve?

    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 PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer 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 (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.

  • IOS 8, Safari and pdf hyperlinks

    Hello: I'm sure this is a bug, so I have reported it in "feedback." Unfortunately I cannot access the bug reporting option since I am not a developer. However, this is my frustrating observation (since my entire website depends on hyperlinks in pdfs):
    clickable hyperlinks do not work in Safari on pdfs  IOS 8. The links work using Chrome, they work from the public folder I have in DropBox, so I have determined it is a Safari issue.  This is the page I used to test:
    http://www.rightbrainforhire.me/shelter-pet-gallery-aug-2014.pdf
    Has anyone else seen this? Or is it still too early to tell...
    Thanks so much,
    Heidi
    And why is there no community for IOS 8?!
    rightbrainforhire.me

    Hi,
      Too late to reply you :-(.
      Yes, install the Chrome browser and access the PDF link. Our users are not happy with the Chrome idea because they were used to Safari all along. To be frank Chrome browser is performing well these days. We are evaluating and trying to implement HTML5 based solution from Mozilla PDF.js. It is a waste of time and resource due to this small silly, frustrating issue.
      No idea when does this get resolved because there are no other solid solution that runs PDF within the browser. More over, IOS Safari does not allows to configure or install other PDF reader plugins to run as part of the browser otherwise alternatives like Adobe reader could be used.

  • Settings in Safari's PDF viewer?

    I love Safari's PDF viewer because it's so fast and easy. BUT is there any way to magnify (zoom in) once the file is displayed?
    Note: Safari's "increase/decrease font size" buttons are understandably disabled when a PDF file is displayed.
    iMac (2.0 GHz G5) & PowerBook (1.5 GHz G4)   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    I use the PDF Browser Plugin which has its own toolbar which includes the ability to zoom in or out of a pdf document. Although there is a price listed for the plugin, it is free for personal and educational use.

  • Why won't Safari open PDF-documents after uninstalling Adobe Reader?

    Hi.
    I wonder why Safari won't open a PDF-document after I uninstallet Adobe Reader. Prior to my installation of Adobe Reader, Safari opened PDF's without any diffyculty.
    I've tried to reset Safari but it didn't seem to help at all.
    What do I do?
    Thanks
    Mike

    There might be a residual plug-in interfering with Safari's PDF opening capabilities.
    Installed plug-ins are listed via Safari > Help menu.
    They are located in
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    and
    ~/Library//Internet Plug-ins
    (tilde is home folder)

  • Safari loads PDF but doesn't go to page - tried suggested fix

    I'm trying to go to a specific page of a multi page pdf document but Safari just loads the front page of the pdf.
    Specifically, I have an .html index that connects to a bunch of pdfs (each with multiple pages) but when I try to go to one of the specific pages within the pdf, only the cover page opens. This worked fine until Yosemite and it works in Chrome.
    This is the address:
    file:///Users/stevesweitzer/Dropbox/Cuisine%20At%20Home/media/pdf/80.pdf#page=18 #page=18
    It seems to work until it gets to the #page=18#page=18
    I tried to delete the files with pdf in their name from the internet plugin library. Repaired preferences and restarted but still have the problem.

    Hi ..
    Might be a cache issue.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Is there  a way to make Safari open PDF pages without opening Finder and select Reader from my applications folder?

  • Installing AcrobatPro after removing Adobe Reader Safari displayed pdf urls only as a black page anymore

    After installing Acrobat Pro it installs in Library/Internet Plugin-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin version 11.0.03. Allthough after selecting a PDF-link it leads to a displays it not in Acrobat Pro, it diplays it as a black page in Safari. When I have a look in Acrobat Pro into the preferences/internet/webbrowser-option/PDF to show inBrowser with: isnt checked! And there is still listed/Application/Adobe Reader.app instead of /Applikation/Adobe Acrobat Pro!!
    There is no way to select this Applikation. Having a look at Lbrary/Preferences/com.adobe.acrobat.pdfviewer.plist listed:
    AdobePDFDriver file://localhost/Volumes/Sicherung%20laptop/Applications/Adobe/Adobe%20Acrobat% 209%20Pro/Adobe%20Acrobat%20Pro.app/
    ReaderInstallPath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
    WebBrowserUsePath file://localhost/Applications/Adobe%20Reader.app/
    Has anyone changed the ReaderInstallPath file or WebBrowserUsePath file to the path of Acrobat Pro  and as a result a good diplay of PDF-urls in Arcobat Pro or Safari??
    Thankx, I hope my english isn´t to bad for a german apple-user!

    Thanks for the screenshot, Pat. I think the light bulb went off for me. I was looking over the tips for configuring Firefox at the link:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    And I think what confused me the most was this screen shot for plug-ins for Firefox mentioned Acrobat.
    I had Acrobat installed myself, but most of our users do not use Acrobat, since it's not a free product. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, and the Adobe Acrobat plug-in was still there, so that forced me to realize that the plug-in that comes with Adobe Reader 11.0.3 is called "Adobe Acrobat".
    I went into Tools->Options->Applications and selected "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)", rather than "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
    This now allows me to not only view PDFs within a browser window in Firefox, but it also enables the save icon (which "Use Adobe Reader (default)" was not allowing me to do:
    It's a shame that the default setting is not for "in browser", because our customers may have to make a configuration change.
    There is no way to programmatically force a configuration change on a user's browser, is there?

  • Print web page to PDF file with live links in PDF file like Apple Safari's pdf prints?

    With Firefox for Macintosh, can I print a web page to PDF in such a manner that when I option the PDF file and click on a link, it is a live link that opens in my system's default web browser?
    With Apple Safari, when I print a web page to a PDF file, the links on that page are "live" and work to open the web browser to their destination. The PDF files I get from Firefox are dead. Clicking on link does not open in browser.
    Is there a way to get FireFox to act more like Safari in this regard?
    Thanks

    Seems the referenced thread is about Lion. I am having this problem in Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Firefox. Any way to get PDFs with working links in Snow Leopard using FIrefox? I do not really want to have to use Safari for this purpose.
    Going forward when and under what circumstances will future versions of Firefox be able to create PDFs with live links? Are there any circumstances where a current or past version of Firefox can do it under any current or past version of OS X?
    Thanks.

  • Why can't safari display pdf files?

    I recently updated Safari to 5.1 and Adobe Reader to 10.1.1. on OS X10.6.8. Now Safari just shows me a flat gray screen when I browse to a location that's a pdf file. Can't say which of the two updates actually broke the function. Used to work, although it's broken like this before. Adobe web site recognizes the general problem and says go to Adobe Help/Repair... but that doens't seem to exist in the current version. Also says to delete Reader and reinstall if the first didn't work, but neigher of those had any effect. Some other references to the same or similar problems in here but I didn't see any useful suggestions.
    I can successfully open the pages in question with Chrome, so it's not the source.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    >>nothing really works here, am I correct?
    for most pdf's & the way they're served up - the built-in pdf support works fine.
    a few will require adobe reader to display correcttly or allow form filling - and for safari 5.1, that measn download & open in Reader.
    pdf's within a page using embed or object or iframe seem not to display with the built-in support, and for those, the schubertit plugin apparently works ok.
    if you link to a problem pdf & say which OS X & safari version, + remove any pdf plugins for now - we can hopefully see what's going on.

  • How to have Safari remember PDF display preference (two pages continuous)?

    I am using the built-in PDF viewer in safari and every single time I am a opening a link or document I have to right-click and choose "two pages continuous" (or at least zoom out) to obtain suitable display preferences.
    Is there a way to have Safari remember the last-used or preferred display settings for PDF? All recent versions of Safari (including Yosemite) have this problem.
    Thank you so much,
    Christophe

    Thank you most kindly Aandi,
    Exactly!! It boggles my mind sometimes ... I'm reading manuals all day long, running a dozen complicated applications (making movies, music for movies, and now 'books'), and my brain did not register the most obvious ... a dozen times I scanned that menu item. Tick, tock.
    You help is most appreciated...
