Unable to view pdf in safari

hello anybody can help- unable to view PDF files from the web

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.

    Unable to view PDFs in Safari Version 6.0.5 (8536.30.1), get black screen?

    Never mind. This was my own fault. I had been debugging with the developer menu and had disabled images. Sorry for the spam!

  • Unable to view pdfs in safari

    Can't view pdfs in safari.  Tried unistalling and reinstalling adobe reader with no luck. Any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences 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. Otherwise do as follows.

  • Unable to View PDFs in Safari on iOS 8 devices

    Ever since I updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 7 they have been unable to open PDFs in the Safari application. All I see is a blank grey screen with no indicators that the page is loading or anything of the sort. I recently purchased a new iPhone 6, which is now running iOS 8.1.2 and the problem persists. New device, new iOS, same problem. I have been using an iPad (3rd gen.) since 2012 now and it still cannot open PDFs in Safari. I have been unable to figure out a solution anywhere and nearly everyone online that provides an answer says to simply reset all settings. I've done that several times. The fact that the problem carried over from my old iPhone 5 to my new iPhone 6 tells me I must have some setting set wrong. Any help with this would be great.
    iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2
    iPad (3rd gen.), iOS 8.1.2

    Copy cannot be disabled to my knowledge. Did you try quitting Safari and resetting your iPad? To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Unable to view PDFs from the Safari browser.

    I am using Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader 10.1.0, running on OS 10.6.8.  Until recently I had no problem but am now unable to view PDFs from websites.  What I get is a totally black document.  I can create PDF files which I can also open outside of the internet.  Any ideas?? 

    There seems to be an issue with Adobes plugin and Safari 5, your options are:
    Wait for it to be updated.
    Uninstall the plugin nd let Quicktime handle it.
    Install Schuberts PDF plugin from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/

  • Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

    Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2.  I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop.  She could not view the document through email.  Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list.  I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder.  I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
    Other notes:
    If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
    Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
    The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
    Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
    Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
    All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.

    You're on to something KJ!  Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro.  I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead.  I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't.  Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2: 
    When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
    I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.
    (Sorry for the delay in response, I've been on vacation.)

  • Unable to view PDF files in Infoview

    I am unable to view pdf files in InfoView (Business Objects Edge Series XI 3.0)
    When I select the pdf file from Infoview, I receive the message 'Do you want to save this file' which only allows me to save the document to a location on my computer.
    Other users can view the file in Infoview, so it probably relates to a setting on my computer.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I've had a little look on Adobe's knowledge base; try this to check whether the issue is related with opening PDF in your browser in general:
    "Determine if the web browser can open the PDF file from your local hard drive rather than from the web:
    In the web browser, choose File > Open (or Open File).
    Choose All Files from the Files Of Type pop-up menu (Windows)
    Click Browse
    Select the PDF file you saved in step 1 of task 5, and then click Open to open the PDF file. If Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the file, but won't display it on the web, the web server has a problem serving the PDF file. Contact the webmaster of the site from which you downloaded the PDF file."
    If so, try the troubleshooting steps mentioned here:

  • Unable to view pdf files in IE 11.

    Unable to view PDF files in IE 11, Winows 7. Works fine in Google Chrome on same pc. Everything is up todate.

    See the solution at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529
    However, that Fix-it won't work on Windows 7; you will need to make the registry change manually.  Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script to change that registry value.

    Sorry, this is a user to user forum and we're just customers who help out when we can, so things don't always happen right away.
    Reader, Regardless of OS or device, is as the name implies, only a Reader.  There are different mail settings between Mac Mail Outlook and Thunderbird as well as Andsroid's mail app, whose name escpoaes me.
    Have you checked in the Live Cycle Forum? There are people there with FAR more experience using LC developed forms. It's part of my Creative Suite, but I've never even opened it myself.

  • Unable to view PDF (baggage file) in CHM

    Hi,
    I have recently started using a new desktop pc running Windows 7. I am now unable to view PDF files (added as baggage files in RoboHelp) in the CHMs generated by RoboHelp. Even existing CHMs (generated before switching desktops) have this problem. Has anyone experienced the same problem and managed to solve it?
    Sofie

    A while back someone told me they had a similar problem with IE8 and advised they fixed as below:
    "After fiddling around with some settings, I found that if you go to Settings/Safety and enable Active X Filtering, the embedded files open normally."
    That will only fix it on your machine though. Do these CHMs work on other machines OK?

    I have deleted all files associated with schubert it and adobe 7 and reset safari and repaired permissions, but the problem still occurs, without shubert it and adobe 7.
    Weird HUH? any suggestions?

    the application is safari. - in this case is it safari thats displaying the PDF or a plug in. at this point i dont have any 3rd party PDF plug ins.
    the link is on a website, i have not downloaded the PDF. When I click on the link, another safai window opens and it displays the PDF. I close the window, and click on the same link. When that happens, the gibberish appears.
    ....at this point...im maybe thinking that its a problem with the web server? This doesnt happen all the time.
    Thanks so much for you interest in my problem. =)

  • How do I view pdfs in Safari for Windows?

    Have to use Windows 7 at work. Fortunately, I can at least use Safari as my browser. Unfortunately, I can't view pdfs in Safari for Windows but I can with FireFox and IE. Any way to resolve?

    What happens when you try to view a pdf file on Safari? In my experience Safari has never worked well in Windows. Use a browser you know works.
    Did you check for a PDF reader plugin for Safari?
