Setting preferences when opening pdf files in Safari

Safari opens pdf files using Preview in Safari, which is fine. However, I would like the pdf files to be auto sized to the window, and displayed with continuous mode off. These are my preferences if I use the Preview program. Instead, pdf files are always opened in continuous mode, and not autosized.
I can't seem to find a way to change the default settings for displaying pdf files in Safari. Any help?

I'm tired of having to do this for every pdf file I open in Safari.
I understand. Preview via Safari is new in OS X Tiger. Apple has a history of building improvements/new features with each rendition of OS X.
You may want to express your concerns and needs to Apple via their feedback page before the release of Leopard this coming spring.

I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
605124.pdf.html
Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
Use this link to download it automatically:

Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files

Hi,
I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
Setup
Server OS:
Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
Other software:
Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
Symantec Antivirus 10.1
Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
The installation is clean (1 week old).
Problem description:
When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
Work-arounds tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
Turn DEP off
Solution:
Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
Best regards from Denmark!

Hi,
I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
Any further ideas at all?

Can't open PDF files in safari

I have a problem opening PDF files in safari
50% of the time I get a error message:
"could not launch acrobat." then safari quits,
and the other 50% of the time:
it safari does noting for about half a minute and then quits,
it's not a problem with acrobat, because it does work in Fx and Chrome
anyone knows what's wrong and, especially, how to solve it?

There's a couple things you can try to view pdf files in Safari.
Install Acrobat Reader 9 and it will ask if you Acrobat Reader to view pdf's. Close Safari, check yes and re-open. If AR9 is already installed, go to prefs/internet and and check yes in the box for 'display pdf in browser using......'.
Alternatively, if Acrobat is opening the pdf file in Safari, and you don't like it (which I didn't), go HD/library/internet plugins and throw away the 'AdobePDFviewer' plugin, and restart Safari. I believe the Quicktime plugin then handles the pdf.
You may also need to check the mime types in Quicktime. Open System Preferences/Quicktime/Advanced and open the Mime Settings button. Scroll to 'images' and check the box for pdf's.
Hope this helps.

Override document preferences when opening a file

Hi all
Does anyone know if there is a way to override the document preferences with the InDesign preferences when opening a file (or even when a file is open).
The issue i have is that I have a whole load of documents where for some reason the superscript has been set to size 100% and not the standard 58.3% and i want to revert it back to standard without the need to open preferences -> advanced type and then resetting all the sizes.
I know that Quark (sorry to swear) had this ability where on file open it would warn of a preference mismatch and ask if document or Quark prefs should be used.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it will save me a lot of time.
thanks
Justin

The issue is that although InDesign will open up Quark documents, it doesn't appear to allow you to add them to a book.
Therefore, from what i can best make out, i would need to import the Quark doc into InDesign, save the file as an InDesign file, then import it into a book to run the script. We have few hundred single page Quark docs for a packaging job we are doing.
It seems quicker to open the file, and just change the superscript preference, its not an insurmountable issue, just more of an inconvenience and a bit of a waste of time.
Thanks for yours and everyones help on this as it will certainly use the script on InDesign projects should the same issue arise.

Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

Does iPad Air 2 open PDF files in Safari?

Does iPad Air 2 open PDF files in Safari? Having trouble doing so.

As JimHdk stated, all iOS devices do a great job of opening standard PDFs right in Safari. Note that it is possible for PDF authors to create non-standard PDFs in Adobe Acrobat that will NOT open in Safari but it would be unusual for those PDFs to be posted on a public web site.
Lastly, note that by doing a tap-and-hold on a link for PDF, you can choose to open the PDF in iBooks as well. This is very helpful if you want to retain a local copy of the PDF on the iOS device for later reference.
What happens when you try to open the PDF in Safari?

SAFARI CAN'T OPEN PDF'S ?
I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02. It worked fine up until 2 weeks ago. The pdf's open in Foxfire and Chrome browsers.
I can also download the pdf and open in acrobat directly. Safari only shows the file as ASCII characters.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

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 (command-V) into the text box that opens, 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.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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.

HI..
If you are using Adobe Reader ...
Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then reinstall > http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Hi, I haven't been able to open pdf files in Safari - each time I click on a pdf link, a new tab opend and then a pop-up window says "can't open Adobe" (or something like that), and then Safari crashes.

Does anyone know a way to view pdf files in Safari for windows?

Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

After upgrading to Lion 10.7.4 , I cannot open pdf files on Safari 5.1.7 but can do so on Google chrome browser? I get a message that the file cannot be exported?

look in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and remove any with 'pdf' in the name, then restart safari.
failing that - check in the same folder within your user 'home' Library
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
in either case, you can triple-click the names above to select, then ctrl-click & choose Services - Open which should open a new Finder window showing the folder
