Why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page?

why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

  • Why do I get a black screen when I move video to laptop

    Hey
    Not sure If this is an io6 thing, before I upgraded I simply plugged my ipad into my windows laptop went to the right folder and copied the video across, no probs.
    Now when I do this QuickTime opens but it has a black screen although the sound is there.
    What is going on, nothing I do seems to fix it. I have used imovie on ipad for some videos although it is effecting those that have not been through imovie as well.
    Any suggestions.

  • Pdf in Safari: Get a blank screen when I click on a PDF

    [Inventory]
    Safari 5.0.5
    Acrobat Pro 9.4.4 up-to-date
    Acrobat Reader 10.0.3 up-to-date
    iOS 10.6.7
    [Problem]
    When I surf the internet using the Safari browser And I click on a link that is a PDF, I get a blank screen.  The PDF does not render in the new Safari window.  What happened?

    Hay there
    I JUST FIXED THIS PROBLEM ON MY OWN COMPUTER
    --YIPPEE--
    I hope that this will help all those safari user that have been resisting the urge to put a fist through the screen like i was.
    1) there is a hidden 'library' folder in the "home" (looks like the little house) account -- you have to unhide it and make your change there
    2) i found it by doing a search for "pdf plugin" in the search area (by that litte mignifying glass icon thing)
    3) here is the path.     home/library/internet plugins/
    4) once you are in this folder you have to swap out all the old crap that's there for the new/updated stuff
    this is were you made sure your plugin are correct
    HINT: i copied all the pdf related plugins from the other "library" (the ones that were recent installs) into this one
    I then restarted safari and it was cool beans

  • Why do I get a black screen when loading pdf from internet

    I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to Adobe Reader 11.0.06.  Now when I attempt to download a pdf from the internet, the Reader screen opens but the text portion of the screen is black.  I can open pdf file i have previously saved.

    Another possibility to to use the Schubert PDF plug in. It has been around for years and works great.

  • I often get a black screen when I click on a site--drives me crazy!

    This only happens with Firefox--not with Internet Explorer, etc. I often go to a site--e.g., government forms, etc.--and when I try to download the form, or view certain info, the screen simply goes black. So, then, in order to access, I need to start over with another browser.

    I double clicked the round button when the icons appeared I held down and selected the FaceTime icon while it was shaking I selected the minus sign on the FaceTime icon closing it out.  Then I restarted the iPad and bingo FaceTime works now.

  • Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?

    Why do I get only a black screen when I try to download PDF files?  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader.
    This problem just started a few weeks ago.
    I am still using Snow Leopard.
    I have tried using Firefox instead of Safari, but still get the black screen.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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. .

  • Why does my imac get a black screen when switching on

    why does my imac get a black screen when turning on, and logging in is very slow.

    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Let us know if these  procedures don't solve the problems.
    Hope this helps

  • Why do I get a black version when I convert my document to PDF?

    I have been using Microsoft Publisher 2007 with XP to produce a newsletter for over 11/2 years. Today when I converted the file to PDF it is black with all kinds of wierd colors. It looks nothing like the document I produced. This has never happened before. The PDF version last month looked exactly like the white background document I produced with all the fonts in the right colors, including the pictures. This one looks like a 4 year old got ahold of it and colored it any way she wanted. Nothing looks the same as my document. What happened?

    I found out that if I waited about 15 minutes the PDF file became normal. Thank heavens! I've now sent out my newsletter for my Quilt Club to our 90 e-mail subscribers and all of them I have heard from have gotten it the way I had written it. It must just have been a quirk that happened, but I sure am glad it fixed itself. I only have 5 more newsletters to write and then I am done. Thank Heaven. Thank you for trying to help. I was about to become even more crazed than I get when I have to publish the newsletter. I do it once a month and I never would have volunteered for the 2 year job if I had know how much work it is. My husband walks gently when he knows I am trying to put the newsletter together. I'm not usually crabby, but this has made me a nut case once a month. It's a good thing we've been married for 37 years, so he knows that it is only the "newsletter editor nutty lady" that is getting mad at everything and everyone, including him! Thanks for trying to help. You were the only one that answered. JO

  • Why am I getting a black frame when I'm trying to add a freeze frame?

    Why am I getting a black frame when I'm trying to add a freeze frame?

    There are a few ways to make a freeze frame. What exactly are you doing? Using the hold function? Connecting a freeze frame? Exporting a still frame? Happens it's because of the specs of your media. What are they?

    Hi there, Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the same. Try updating your Flash Player to the latest version and then republish the project. This black screen issue was first discovered few months ago after the first Flash Player 10 release.  The link to download the latest version of flash is here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/  Newer versions of Flash Player do not result in the same issue.  Thanks!Shekhar
