Trouble w/ PDF pages in Safari

I can't view pdf pages within Safari; they just show up black. Is there an easy fix?

Hello,
You should try to go to the : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins folder (not the Home folder).
If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
Quit and restart Safari.
If it works you can empty the trash.

Hi. i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari

i'm having trouble viewing pdf files in safari.

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.

Hello guys. I'm having trouble opening Instagram pages with Safari.

Hello guys. I'm having trouble opening Instagram pages with Safari. I try to open them and it seems to be loading for one second, but then it's all blank, there's nothing on the screen. Funny thing is, when I try to open an Instagram page that doesn't exist, it opens the Instagram NOT FOUND page. I don't know what's going on. I've tried everything, from software updates to restarting my Mac etc. Please help.

Is this the site you are referring to > http://instagram.com
Because that site refers you to apps for smartphone devices. Not for your Mac.
Regardless of the Instagram website, v10.5.4 is an outdated version of Safari. You need to update your system software.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed, then try Instagram on Safari.

Black pdf pages in safari

Occasionally (but increasingly frequently) I attempt to open pdf links in safari, only to get a totally black page. Sometimes the pdf can be accessed by saving linked file to download, but not always. This didn't use to happen - is there a solution.

Well, for a long time I've been Firefox user, but I decided to give Safari a spin. (Before anyone asks, yeah, I've got the current versions of Acrobat Reader and Safari.) So, I port over my Firefox bookmarks and start to "try 'em out" in Safari. Boy, what a surprise! I follow a link to a bookmarked site that I know has pdf files. I click a file, and what do I get? A black screen! I try over websites for pdf files and it's the same thing--no pdf files will open. I launch Firefox just to make sure those pdf files do open. Yep, they open for Firefox.
I reboot Safari--no solution. I reboot the machine--no help. I then start looking for a selection in Safari's preferences where I tell Safari it's okay to open pdf files. As you all know (and I did, too), there is no such a preference.
I spend several minutes checking to see if Safari will play movies, etc. Everything seemed to work. I try pdf files again.
The next pdf file I try and I get an error message saying Safari can't find Acrobat Reader and has me navigate to Reader. Well, it will only allowed me to select Reader 8, not Reader 9, the most current reader version. I select Reader 8, and the pdf file opens.
What a struggle! Maybe I'll just stay with Firefox.

Trouble Viewing PDF's in Safari

When I click on a pdf to read it, I get a black screen and a message that " ADobe Reader blocked for this website" If I click on the message, it gives me a window that allows me to Trust the site and then will open the pdf. It won't allow me to download the pdf. If I try to print the pdf, it give me black pages. I can get things to work with Google Chrome, but I should be able to do it all in Safari.
What tdo I need to do to get Safari to fluidly read PDFs and to let me download them and print them? I do have Acrobat Pro X 10.1.9. But I can't find where in preferences to tell it to use this program and to Trust it. I have the same problem on my iMac with Lion and my MBP with Mavericks.

This may help.

Cant change pdf pages in safari

I recently bought the iPad 3, and so far so good, But i just encountered a problem:
I was browsing through my course documents in safari and when i click on pdf files i can only see the first page, i cant scroll to other pages or anything.
I tried to download the adobe reader app but it didnt do much, according to the manual you can just "open in" but i couldnt find such option.
Also is there a way to download the pdf files into newsstand or adobe reader? That would be simply marvelous
Thanks in advance

If you have installed Adobe Reader or iBooks then you should be able to see the PDFs in those apps. When you select a link to a PDF in Safari tap on the PDF to get the Open In choices. Once you open the PDF in iBooks or Adobe Reader it will be copied there so you can view it later if desired.

Trouble with PDF files in Safari for Windows

I downloaded Safari for Windows at work on my XP machine because I much prefer the Safari interface. The problem that I am having is that one of the web-based programs that I use at work does reports in PDF format and when I click on the link for a report Safari is popping up a window that says the document doesn't exist. Of course, the document does exist and my Internet Explorer and Safari for Mac that I have at home both view these reports with no problems through Safari. I have the most up to date version of Adobe Reader 8, and when I check the installed plugins through the help menu on Safari it shows that the Adobe plugin is installed. So, I have no clue how to get this to work, but if I can't get it fixed soon I'm gonna have to switch back to Internet Explorer (which I don't want to do). Can anyone help???

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

What has happened to the pdf toolbar in Safari 5.1.2?

I'm using Safari 5.1.2 with OS X Lion.
Usually when I open a pdf page in Safari and move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the Safari window, the pdf toolbar shows options like zooming, open in Preview.app or save to downloads folder, but this function appears to have been deleted. I used this feature all the time. Is it gone? Why?
Scott

It is supposed to be there, e.g., I have it on mine.
One possibility: a third party software/plugin/extension conflict.

Can't save pdf's in Safari/Lion

Before the problematic ridden Lion OS, I was always able to save a pdf page in Safari simpy be Save or Save as. Now I always get the annoying message ''File xxxx can not be exported as xxxx.pdf". What? Been doing this for years until the new OS. Is there a magic setting somewhere to be able to save?
Getting very disappointed with this OS.

I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

Dear everyone
I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
I read a european commission document explaining that
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
I checked the following web page
Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
that is recommending the following:
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
unable to open these pdf.
Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
Best regards
Ramon

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

Simple, When I want to open a .pdf page from the web, I get Finder to open and I have to go to my applications folder to pick up Acrobat reader, Is there a way to have Safari doing it all by itself, Preview, or any other program?

Right or control click a PDF file you have on the hard drive then click: Get Info
In the Get Info panel click the pop up menu next to: Open with
Select the app you want to open PDF files from the pop up menu then click: Change All

PDF page not showing in browser window in Safari

When I click on a pdf link while in Safari browser, for instance "download full equipment list", I get a blank page. I have downloaded the latest PDF Flash Player. I am using Safari 4.0.3. I use OS 10.5. I didn't have this problem before 10.5. I don't use this very much, so I do not know what the precipitating event could have been. This does not happen when I use Firefox (but I am not fond of Firefox).

Thank you for the replies.
I downloaded the Flash PDF Player because it was a suggestion as to why I may not be able to access PDF documents through Safari. Removing it is irrelevant at this point since the problem was occurring before I downloaded the Flash PDF Player.
My guess is that it has to do with Safar. As I mentioned, I do not have this problem with Firefox.
Any suggestions?

Trouble loading pages in Safari 1.3.2 (maybe due to a javascript problem?)

Hi!
I'm wondering if anyone could offer advice on how to fix a problem I'm having with my web browsers. I can't seem to load certain pages (e.g., Amazon.com). The browser loads most of the page, but then gets stuck on the last item and never finishes loading (so the whole page stays blank). I'm having the same problem in Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. I think it may be a javascript problem. When I turn the javascript option off in Safari, I have no trouble loading the pages. Also, when I look at the safari activity monitor while opening those trouble pages, the .js files are the ones that don't load.
Things I've tried include emptying the browser cache, resetting cookies, emptying my java cache in the utilities section, and making sure all of my software is up to date.
Any help or suggestions you could give me would be fantastic. Thank you so much!

Hello there,
Do you have a style sheet [ CSS ] you are using in Safari-> Advanced Tab? if yes set it to none, and see if that helps.
Whilst in Advanced tab check your network settings & make sure you've no proxies checked on.
In " View " Check your Text encoding try using Unicode.
Have you tried a restart,if the puter that can help.
Have you run permission repair and see if DU reports any errors.
In Utilities Disk Utility, First Aid tab. do not bother with verify perm.
do run repair permissions. Stay on the left side of the Disk Utility
< [ not repair disk ] if you know already, sorry.
Good Luck, I hope something helps..

When I read a pdf document using Safari I'm unable to read more than one page of a file. A padlock icon is locked on the tab. Please help.

When I read a pdf document using Safari on my IPad I'm unable to read more than one page of a file. A padlock icon is locked on the tab. Please help.

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
Best,
