Why do PDFs not open in Safari

When trying to open a PDF file from a sight on Safari all I get is a black screen. Can you not open a PDF file from Safari? What is the solution if there is one?

Delete the following item, then quit and relaunch Safari:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin

Why will PDF not open from email?

I recently modified my Adobe Reader 9.1 (with instructions from the bank) to be able to electronically sign documents.
Since then I can not open any PDF documents from email. I went back and reversed the changes I made. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. No luck.
I have to save the documents and open them from Windows Explorer.
Any Ideas?

A fast workaround for PDF problem (See my original post)
In Firefox:
Open Tools > Options > Under Main tab click Save files to > click Browse
Scroll up or down to find where you want it to go (I put mine under Documents because it's the easiest to find).
Click New folder and label it something you will quickly recognize.
Now when you click on a PDF attachment it will automatically be sent to that file and you can double click or open
it in Adobe Reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Note) If I use Internet Explorer (I have not used IE in years) I can open PDF's from Hotmail with out a problem.
I like Firefox better so I will continue to use the quick workaround until somebody finds a fix.
If you use IE, here are the instructions for saving PDF files.
Click
to open Windows Mail.
Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it
in the message list.
In the message window, click the File menu,
and then click Save Attachments.
Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.
By default,
Windows Mail saves attachments in your
Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder,
click Browse, and then select a folder.
Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.

Pdf not opening with Safari

Safari will not open pdf files. I have 8.1.3 and this is still an issue on my phone and tablet. It will not allow to open Safari files in iBooks either. This is a problem on my phone, tablet, and friends and families tablets, so I know this must be a common problem. Is there a solution?

I have no problem opening PDFs in Safari or iBooks on my iPad 2 iOS 8.1.3. What exactly happens when you load a PDF page in Safari? Perhaps you could post a link to the page you're trying to open?
can you open this page:

Why are PDFs not opening?

A course was published with several PDFs using Presenter 7. The PDFs open when viewed on the LMS.
In an effort to decrease file size I've gone back into the course using a newly purchased version 8 and added PDFs that were lower in file size. The course is republished locally (I also worked locally), uploaded to the LMS and tested. Of the 16 PDFs I can get 1 or 2 to open- that's it.
I've tried deleting the resource folder and deleting the files seen under Settings and starting fresh with the same outcome.
I've also manually added the PDFs to the resource folder with the same outcome.
What am I missing?

If you are trying to open the PDFs when testing by playing the content from your local C drive, you are likely encountering Flash Security Settings blocking the links.

Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

Hi,
Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
Please help!

PDF is not opening in safari

PDF is not opening in safari . I have adobe prof 9, and safari is the latest version.
Now, all I get is a black window and nothing loads.
what should i do?
i have added ad ones to open pdf in safari, but still doesnt work

Carolyn, thanks -- your solution helped.
Actually, I've had the issue in OSX Lion, whereby the .pdf didn't launch in Safari . . . well, not launch fully.
In my Safari Browser, there would be a blue Q (Quicktime logo) that appeared momentarily, and then the 1st .pdf page (only) would show. But, not say, the other 17 pages . . .
Anyways, in Lion I got a message "Cannot delete (Internet Plugins) folder because OSX needs it" or something like that --> so, I just deleted all the contents + quit Safari = solved!

Why can I not open some attached emailed pdf files?

PLEASE HELP ME! I HAVE TO OPEN THESE FILES MY BUSINESS DEPENDS ON IT! why can I not open some attached pdf files and others are ok?

PDF files are extremely reliable. You may have a software issue. I have the problem on 2 identical systems with the exact same specs. The problem occurs at the same exact interval. It may be a windows update. We have had to re-install software form the DVD in each instance. This fixes it for awhile and then it recoccurs. Adobe acts as if they have never heard of the problem...imagine that. I'm the only one with th problem.
This is happens with CS6 volume lic product.
If you dont own Adobe product it will be even more difficult to find and answer as the reader is used my so many people.
We know we have the problem again when we double click opn a PDF and nothing happens. SOme have reported that reloading does not fix the problem.
Wish I could help you. I am looking for answers to this issue right now and phone support is a 30 minute wait.
Very frustrating.

Why can I not open PDF files any more?

Why can I not open up most of the PDF files that I receive via email. This has not been an issue before. Do I have to renew something or reload?

This is a web forum not a chat room. Why did you mark your question as the answer?
You still haven't given us much to go on? Are you opening these files from a website (clicking on a link)? I'm assuming they are pdf files, correct? If so, what web browser and operating system do you have?
Remember, we aren't sitting there in the room with you so you need to be descriptive and answer all questions...
