Safari wont open .pdf files. Is here a setting that interferes?

On my iPad using safari,  and, with firefox on my iMac, I con open .pdf files on our club web page. However with Safari I only get a black blank when I try to open them on my iMac with Safari. FireFox works fine . Could there be a setting on Safari that is not allowing pdf files to open?
Here is the web page link. http://www.lhmac.org/lhmacnewsletters.htm
the same pdf files when e- mailed to me open fine on my iMac.

Hi Gregory ..
Go to   /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin  (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

    You need Acrobat Reader as a Safari plug in.

  • Safari not opening PDF files

    I had Acrobat Pro on Windows laptop.  Last weekend switched to MacBook Pro and upgraded to Acrobat X with help from Adobe Tech Personnel (and $215).  Now, I can open and create PDFs from Acrobat, but my Safari browser doesn't open PDF files when I click on them the way my Firefox did.  In fact, Safari just goes to black screen with little pinwheel in the middle spinning forever.   How do I tell my browser to use the Adobe Acrobat X app?  Thanks.

    I'm sure this is my first of many Mac questions regarding Adobe.

    What is the version of your Mac OS? Is Safari running in 64 bit (check from Safari->Get Info)? If yes, change it to 32-bit and try again.

  • Safari cannot open pdf files

    Running Safari 5.1.2 and when I click a link in either a website or an email that links to a pdf file, all I get is a dark grey screen in Safari.
    Same thing if I paste the link into Firefox.
    No internet plug-ins in that file.
    Deleted com.apple.Safari.plist file
    Tried opening Safari in 32bit.
    This is starting to become a big problem for me, anyone have any ideas or thoughts?
    Thank you in advance.

    There are no files in my internet plug-in folder.
    Ok..
    Randy..  are you aware there are two libraries?
    One is root denoting /Library
    One is your Home folder ~/Library  (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    You may be looking in the wrong library.
    An easy way to locate a file is to open the Finder. From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this in exactly as you see it here >     /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you see the PDF Browser plugin, move it to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.

    uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
    ... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
    so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

  • Safari not opening PDF files. All I see is gray screen. Why?

    I'm trying to open a PDF file from a very secure website and all I see is a gray screen when I click on the link. Why does this happen? How do I fix it?
    Thanks

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    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 launch Safari and test.
    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.

  • Unable to open PDF files with acroread

    Hi,
    We have a solaris 9 server with acroread installed on the server. When I log in to the server with any local user (root or any other user) I'm able to open the PDF files which are locally on the server as well the PDF files which are on NFS Share with acroread but when a user whose home directory is NFS mounted log in to the server, he is neither able to open PDF files which are local on that server nor the PDF files which are on NFS share with acroread.
    I have tried by restarting the NFS services and also by rebooting the server but the same problem persists.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks!!!!

    Hello Harpreet,
    As I understand,default Gtk+ version on Solaris 9 is 2.1.0. You must have a higher version of Gtk+ installed on this machine since you are able to launch Adobe Reader. Could you let us know if the version of this Gtk+ installation is 2.4.9. Also, does your NFS share contains home directories of a large number of users? Does "unable to open" means that Adobe Reader becomes unresponsive?
    If this is the case, you need to upgrade the Gtk+ installation to the recommended version i.e 2.6 or higher.
    Regards

  • ? cannot open pdf files. get 'because it is not supported on this system'?

    Cannot open pdf files. get a pop up that says 'You cannont open the application "" because it is not supported on this system.

    Hi Sharon,
    Highlight a PDF in the Finder, do a Get Info on it, (CMD+i), what does it say for Open with? Or choose Open with... Preview.
    Another test is to open Preview in Applications, then drag a PDF to Preview's icon in the Dock.  What happens?

    SAFARI 6.1.3 update to Reader 11.0.07 … cannot open pdf files that are presently on my computer. Previous version had no problem. Any ideas? (Here is the message: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital_Holiday_Cookbook.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).

  • Open PDF files from Safari after deleting Acrobat Reader

    I can not open PDF files from Safari. I already threw to trash Acdobe Reader and internet plugs in, too. Can anybody help me

    I know you said you threw away the internet plug-ins, but you should double-check this since that is a very common cause of the behavior you describe.

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
