Why I can't open pdf files when surfing with safari?

I can't open files pdf when surfing using Safari. An error message says I need to launch Adobe Acrobat, but I can't find where. What can I do?

Adobe Reader installed?  If so remove Reader.
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click those and select “Move To Trash”.

  • Cant open pdf files when surfing internet

    Trying to open pdf files & cant

    How? Within Safari or some other browser? Have you tried downloading and seeing if Preview can open them? Using some extension that might be hampering what you can't do? Many details missing.

  • Can't open pdf files after downloading from Safari 6.0.5

    I was wondering whether anyone else has encountered this bug. Ihave a retina MBP with Safari and Firefox. If I save a pdf to the desktop via Safari I get the following message when I try to open it "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
    When I download the same file via Firefox, it opens no problem.
    It would, therefore seem to be a Safari 6.0.5 pdf problem, rather than an Adobe Acrobat Pro (11.0.3).
    I have tried with both extension displayed and not displayed options, no difference.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks for reading.

    I encountered the same problem.  In my case, the culprit was a plug-in in the Internet Plug-Ins sub-folder of my User Account's Library folder.
    Here's how I proceeded, based on a suggestion by Carolyn Samit here:
    <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5117605?start=0&tstart=0>
    1. Open the Finder.
    2. In the Finder menu bar, click on the heading Go.  Scroll down to "Go to Folder," and then click the mouse button again.
    3. Copy the following phrase:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    and then paste that phrase into the field in the navigation window that appeared at the end of Step 2.
    3. Click Go.
    4.  If you find a plug-in named AdobePDFViewer.plugin, drag it to the Trash.
    5. Quit and then relaunch Safari.  Then try to load in Safari a PDF from a web site.  Then try saving it.  Once saved/downloaded, try opening the PDF.
    When I followed this procedure, the corrupted-PDF problem went away, thanks to Ms. Samit's suggestion.

  • I can't open PDF files when I receive them in an email, why?

    I have Adobe Reader X, Windows 7, and have microsoft outlook for my emails.  When I receive an email with a pdf attachment, it won't open it, why?

    If you have Windows 7 64-bit, I don't think Outlook 2010 is supported in 64-bit mode.

  • I can't open pdf files.  The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

    I can't open pdf files. 

    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.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    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.

  • Can't open pdf files from sites as shown in troubleshooting info but it works OK in IExplorer. Help, please

    I can no longer open pdf files when clicking on a link such as: shown in troubleshooting info.
    It used to work on earlier version when I had XP, now I'm Win7Pro and using version 5.0.1 The links work fine with Internet Explorer. Help, please.

    Type in '''about:plugins''' into the location bar and press "Enter", at the the top is a line for plug-ins test pointing to [http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck/]
    You should have Version: 10.1.0.534 for adobe acrobat but you have two older versions instead. If the one does not replace both you may have to disable the really old one, or remove through the control panel.

  • I can't open PDF files with adobe flash player

    I have installed it and whenever I try to open pdf files it says I need to agree with your liscens and you do that automatically when you download it. I have followed all your instructions on your website and uninstalled it and installed again, but I can't open pdf files with it. I don't know what the problem is exactly, but it's really frustrating..

    Flash Player CANNOT open PDFs because they AREN'T Flash Documents.
    Adobe Reader opens PDFs.
    To accept the license agreement (NOT the one you accepted to download or install - the one for USE)
    Windows:
    Go to: C/Program Files(x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader and double click the eula.exe file. The license agreement will open for you to accept.
    Mac:
    Go to: Mac HD/Applications and double click the Reader app. The license agreement will open THE FIRST TIME you open it.

  • I can't open pdf files even though adobe reader is downloaded.

    I can't open pdf files even though adobe reader X1 is downloaded.

    May seem like an obvious question but, did you install it after you downloaded it?
    If so, how are you trying to open these files and what happens when you try?

  • Adobe Reader XI - Can't open PDF files

    My mother has Adobe Reader XI installed on her laptop and still can't open PDF files. We've tried uninstalling and installing several different versions and nothing seems to work. Can someone please help? Thank you.

    It's when she tries to open things that she gets online - like credit card statements, etc. It's also stuff that she gets emailed to her as a PDF attachment. It'll look like the document is going to open, but then she gets the following error message in a pop-up window:
    There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try. (103:103).

  • Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

    Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

    Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • I can't open PDF files even though I have downloaded Adobe Reader.  I am using a Mac book Pro

    I can't open PDF files as the screen message says I have to reopen the computer and sign the Adobe Reader agreement but even though Adobe has downloaded I don't get any screen message indicating where I would do this.
    Where is this?

    after downloading, did you install adobe reader?
