    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.

  • My 2007 MacBook pro won't boot up beyond a White screen any ideas what to do?

    My 2007 MacBook pro won't boot up beyond a White screen any ideas what to do?

    Odd how this hasn't been archived yet.
    I'm getting the same thing with my Macbook, but can't boot past the white screen. An Apple store in KS suggested I needed a new hard drive, but I've already put two in there and it's still doing the same thing. I really don't want to buy another motherboard like I had to a couple of years ago.
    My choices are either buy a cheap drive to boot from and remove the current one to put into an external case, or save the money by not buying a new motherboard and putting it as a down payment toward a Mac mini.

    Every time Firefox opened

    David.  Thank you very much.   The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer.  But the solution was the same.  Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha.  I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back.   These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer.   Very grateful.  Tim

  • The most resent Firefox update has a conflicting application with adobe and all pdf files have to open firefox before opening

    My issue started with downloading the most current Firefox. Firefox opens multiple empty tabs (20 -30 or more) every time I use adobe reader. I changed the action for a content type to show adobe reader. It was showing open the file in adobe in Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice and this did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader and Air but could not uninstall Adobe Flash Player because of a conflicting Application with Firefox. I then uninstalled Firefox and was able to uninstall Adobe Flash Player. I reinstalled Adobe Reader only and then Firefox. I no longer have multiple empty tabs opening up but each time I open a pdf file, Firefox has to open as well. I am operating on Windows 7 Home edition. Can some one help this is a nuisance.
    Thank you,
    Steve Zalkin

    Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

  • PDF files will not open with adobe or another pdf addon; they go immediately to a screen that says 'about:blank.'

    I have tried both Adobe X and pdf download, using Firefox 5. If I click on a pdf, another tab opens and I get a blank screen that says above it 'about:blank.' This happens regardless of if I set things to open to browser or in the pdf viewer itself.

    Please wait... if this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of content. You canupgrade tot he latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows, Mac or Linux by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
    These are online documents, right?  This message usually means that you are trying to open the doc in a browser that uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

  • All pdf files open as a blank page after updating to 11.0.07.

    Ever since I updated to AR 11.0.07 in Windows 7 I get a blank page (empty gray box) when opening any pdf.  This happens whether the pdf was on my hard drive or received in email.  The files open just fine in other pdf programs and they used to open just fine in prior versions of AR.  Please help?

    Have you tried to download the files (typically right click on the link) and open them in Acrobat that way, rather than the plugin to the browser. There may also be an issue with the browser. You did not mention the browser you are using, but might try FireFox or such (assuming you are currently using IE).

  • My Iphoto version 8.1.2 stopped working today. Opens to a blank white screen with the little color wheel spinning indicating something running. I also cannot shut this window once opened without doing a hard shut down of my Mac Book Pro. What is wrong?

    Opens to a blank screen with the little color wheel running indicating that something is running everytime I put my mouse on page. I also cannot close the page or do anything concerning this page when the little wheel is running. This has gone on for hours. I can only close the page by doing a hard shutdown of by Mac Book Pro. Never had this happen before.

    Your main library is damaged.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Adobe reader x pdf files open slow from the internet

    I am using Adobe Reader X Files for the internet open very slow, sometimes stall?

    Sounds like the issue mentioned in this article PDF opens as gray screen in browser -- there is a fix in the article as well.

  • When I click on Firefox, it opens to a blank, white screen and the tab says "New Tab". When ever I click on a link nothing happens, it just stays blank.

    I have tried to reset Firefox and that didn't work. Chrome is having the same problem, only it says "Unable to connect to the Internet". I tried to open some links from my favorites folder and all it does is load for a fraction of a second and nothing changes.

    Is the Windows 8.1 system you posted from the one with the problem, or is the problem on a different system? In that case, I assume it's also Windows.
    Does Internet Explorer work normally or are all browsers affected?
    Did this problem start shortly after any software changes, such as:
    * Windows update
    * installation of new software
    * updates to add-ons
    In case the problem is your firewall configuration (for firewall software that blocks programs from accessing the internet), please see: [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]].
    In case the problem is unwanted software or malware, please see: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

  • Problems with opening Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files

    Hi. We use Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 to convert our product documentation Word files into PDFs. During the last weeks our customers report more and more problems with opening these files. We usually deliver those on a DVD with Acrobat Reader 5 or another older version. (Please don't ask me why we're still on these old versions!) Did anyone experience similar problems with Acrobat Pro 9 PDF files and older versions of the Acrobat Reader? Does Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 work smoothly with the newest Acrobat Reader 9.1 download?
    Please post your comments. Thx a lot - Kay

    I would recommend distributing higher version of Reader as version 5 is just too old but looks like you can't go there.
    Acrobat 9 PDFMaker and Adobe PDF printers by default create PDF 1.5 compaible files. PDF 1.5 compatible files can be opened only in Acrobat 6 and above. That's probably the reason why your customers can't see the contents.
    What you can do is to change your conversion settings to produce PDF 1.4 compatible files:
    - In Word, select Acrobat tab or Adobe PDF menu (depending on your version of Word), select Settings
    - Select "advanced settings" in the dialog that comes up
    - Choose compatibility as "Acrobat 5", PDF 1.4
    IF you print to Adobe PDF printer, you'll find a similar setting in the print dialog.

  • AUTO POPULATING HEADERS WITH A MACRO IN PDF FILES?

    My company recently bought me Adobe Professional.  We have certain paperwork on PDF files.  What I want to do is be able to update the headers much like the program I developed in Excel where you put the info in a form and it automatical updates everything else.  I have the info linked to other pages in the workbook.  Currently we print the pdf file and then use the Excel program to print the header on the printed pdf files by putting them back into the printer.  I want to eliminate the printing and putting back into the printer part by updating the header in the PDF file and printing the items directly.  Any ideas?  It would make my day and streamline a process.  Thanks!

    Hello luvtofly,
    You posted this message in the InContext Editing Web Developer discussion. I'm going to move this to the Acrobat forum where it can be seen by someone who might be able to help.
