Unable to read pdf's

I am unable to access/read pdf's online. The pdf part of the address is greyed out and the screen is blank. Any thoughts? 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 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.

I have the Mac OS 10.9.4 I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install. Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

More information would be good.
What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install.
Again, what exactly is happening?
And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

Unable to read PDF files created by FTP Adapter

Hi,
I am unable to read pdf files generated by FTP Adapter with its default settings.
Can anybody guide me how to proceed with it. I guess I need to change something in encoding mechanism in FTP Adapter Outbound Connection Pool, but not sure what has to be.
Thanks,
Richa

Hi all,
I have got its solution. I was unable to read .pdf files because FTP adapter was sending the files just by changing the extension from .txt /.xml to .pdf that is the reason that it was not readable.
We had to write an java code to convert .xml file to .pdf file and then paas it to FTP ADapter.
Thanks

Unable to read PDF attachments past 1st page in iOS4

I have upgraded to iOS4
Now I am unable to read PDF attachments past the 1st page.
I have received a number of suggestions (like resetting the phone) but to no avail.
Anybody else with the same problem?

Thanks for the valiant attempt!
I uninstalled Stanza and hard reset the iPhone (Home+Sleep until the Apple appears)
I tested a couple of new messages with fresh PDF attachments, and the problem
did not go away.
At this point I may have to consider some sort of software corruption with my iOS4
Regards

What exactly is "it"; can you post a screenshot of that?
Other things you can try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
...or wait and see if the next Reader version fixes the problem (likely to be released later today).

I am unable to read PDF messages in my iPad

I am unable to read PDF messages on my iPad even though I do have the Adobe Reader installed.

Thank you for your quick response. Nothing happened when I opened it. Just before I posted my concern I registered for Adobe, and voila, I went to my message and it opened. Just think that it was meant to be.

Upgraded to iOS 7 now unable to read pdf

I recently upgraded to the iOS 7.0.3 and I am unable to view pdf files with Safari's native pdf viewer.
Is there any help or am I lost to the search for yet another app?

All of my husband's contacts were gone when he updated, and his son helped him figure out how to copy them over from his Contacts list on his desktop Mac. Mine were fine until a few days after I updated, then I suddenly found a completely empty Calendar AND Contacts list for absolutely no apparent reason. (One minute I'm checking on a text in Urgent Care, an hour later - after not using the phone at all - I'm standing in line at a pharmacy, someone who I know calls me, and her name doesn't show up. I opened my calendar to set up an appt with her and the whole freaking thing was empty!
I has synched (backed up) my phone about a month ago, so I did I again, assuming that would restore my data. Nope. For some reason I tried it again, and it worked. I'm still missing anything I put in since my backup, but it's still way better than nothing.

Unable to read PDF's when recieved as e-mail attachment

I've developed a new sympton on my iPhone 4 in that I am unable to read any PDF files that are sent to me as an attachment on an e-mail.
The files comes as an attachment winmail.dat file.
I have checked the help section which advised me that the e-mail sender is the issue as the e-mail was sent in RTF.
I've checked this and the e-mail was definatly not sent in RTF, it was sent in HTML.
I have tested this myself by sending myself and e-mail from my Outlook account on my PC to then recieve it on my iPhone (same e-mail account), sent in HTML and I am getting the same winmail.dat again.
Funny thing is I had done the same thing only yesterday and it worked OK although I have since had no end of trouble trying to (unsuccessfully) backup my iPhone to iTunes but that's a story for another thread!
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
James

At this time, I do not really know the answer, but for now all is terrific. Earlier, along with the .pdf file, I tried to send a 93kb .doc file, and the same thing happened, no display at all. I have tried both of these files many ways. ( I realize that this may not have anything to do with the result ), but yesterday, I added an IMAP Gmail account that worked as it should. I just did a delete on the Gmail account, tried both files, multiple times, and they load and display entirely as they should. I will do more research, but I no longer have any problems with the world's greatest phone. Thanks.

I am unable to read pdf files using Acrobat Reader on my MAC OS X. Any suggestions?

How do I read pdf files using my MAC OS X?

You can read pdf files with preview. Select a pdf document, right click on it, and choose Preview. You can also get info and select to choose Preview for all.
You can also install Adobe Reader 10.1.3 for Lion. It will also install a plug-in to read pdf docs in the browser.

Safari unable to read pdf

Hi community,
Safari is having problems reading pdfs online. Firefox is capable of reading them, but not safari. I've seen other threads, and the most common solution is to go into the Macintosh HD-Library-Internet Plugin folder and deleting any plug in with pdf in it. However, I do NOT have any such plugin. Does anyone else have another solution option?
Thanks.

Hi Jean..
Running Safari 5.1 with Lion
Read here > Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
And here > Known Issues | Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion

I'm unable to read pdfs in what I'd call Mozilla's pdf-viewer (ie. in a new tab, but inside the browser). This broke between morning and afternoon of 15.10.14.

I have followed instructions on a forum on checking through 'Options' that my browser is still set to open pdfs inside Mozilla and it is.
It frequently comes up with a bar along the top saying 'This PDF might not be displayed correctly.' Then a button 'Open in Different Viewer', which I've tried pressing, but nothing has happened. (I don't actually want to open it in a different viewer, I want to open in Mozilla).
I'm currently doing a lot of research work and this makes it a lot longer so would REALLY appreciate any help :)

The built-in viewer has limitations, definitely. If you prefer that to Adobe Acrobat, you might try the latest "Development" version of the viewer, which may have improved feature support but with its limited test cycle, could be more crashy. There's a link to it about halfway down this page under Firefox:
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js
Otherwise, you might need to use the Acrobat plugin. (I think you have seen the article, but just in case: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].)

Unable to read pdf in iBooks on MacBook Pro

Trying to use iBooks for the first time to read some PDFs, as I was unhappy with reading them in Adobe Acrobat and wanted to see if iBooks would offer a better experience.
I added the PDFs (purchased from Lonely Planet) into iBooks. However, every time I click on a file within the iBooks library, it would launch Adobe Acrobat Pro or Preview and open the PDF in one of these applications.
Next, I located the files in Finder (in the iBooks folder) and in the Get Info box, I told it to "Open with: iBooks.app". No effect.
Next, I try doing the same with the original files (in the Get Info box, I told it to "Open with: iBooks.app") before adding them to the iBooks library. Now, clicking on them in the iBooks library, it tries to launch Preview and then I get an error message:
Why???

FWIW, rEFInd 0.7.5 includes a fix that should make it more reliable on the Mac models that had problems with multiple EFI drivers installed. I've received a couple of reports that this fix helps, but I have yet to see enough reports to be convinced that it fixes issues on 100% of affected computers. (Apple's firmware varies so much from one model to another that it's impossible to say with certainty how something will work based on sampling just a couple of computers.)

Unable to read PDF files

I have a new Mac Mini which I just migrated from an old iMac (the one with the half-dome base). Some PDF files came over with it and some have been received since. When I click on them I get the following message:
You can't open the application because it is not supported on this architecture.
Any thoughts?

I'm supposing that your old iMac was a PPC model that was able to run the "Classic Environment" -- and that you migrated over an old version of Adobe Acrobat or Reader that required the Classic Environment, which is not available on your new Intel Mini. Locate that old Adobe Acrobat or Reader and eliminate it on your Mini.

Unable to read pdfs from the web on my mac

i've read all the advice about re-installing Adobe Flash (and deleting past versions) and have followed the advice (and restarted my computer) but to no avail. When I try to open a pdf from a website I only get a black screen. Any advice?

Can you try to save it to your local disk instead, and open it from there?
If that doesn't help, tell us more about your operating system & browser.
