Why won't Safari show Skydrive pdf files under ios 6
Like a number of others, I posted on the MS Skydrive forum
viz: I notice that when I try to access the pdf files on my skydrive, there will be an error message written as follows "Unable to display "my_pdf_file_name" in this browser. Check your browser settings to see if you have a PDF plugin installed and enabled. If you have a PDF viewing application, you can download the file and open it from your computer" However, when i click download, nothing happens.
I have to share a set of documents via Skydrive and the email link I send opens safari (Ios 6) and bingo! The pdf files cannot be opened and nor do they download.
The response form Microsoft is:
After testing it has been found that the cause of this is the way Safari handles 3rd party cookies. This is not an issue with SkyDrive but instead Safari iteslf. Other websites have the PDF as an attachment allowing it to just open, where SkyDrive has security that must be passed. Safari is not allowing this cookie/script to run and preventing. So, this will need to be an Apple resolution.
Can someone at Apple resolve this or come up with a sensible workaround please?

Apple is not here, this is a user to user forum.
To contact apple and suggest the change you can go here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Just select your device and fill in the form.
As to how you can get PDFs from skydrive Why not use the Skydrive app?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skydrive/id477537958?mt=8
You can open them natively in the app or after they've opened save them into iBooks, or any other App that may be able to open them.

I've downloaded reader-- checked the 32-bit deal, made sure pdf's are opened by reader and still safari won't open a pdf. What have I missed?
I am a developer who has been sending Livecycle Acrobat documents to users over the internet. The upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 and Safari 5.1.2 has caused this problem for many of my users. The only solution I've been able to find so far is to use FireFox and Acrobat Reader.
Our software does not provide a link to a PDF. Instead, we send the PDF with header for inline; and a type of application/pdf and a generated file name. Safari INSISTS on opening this in the viewer. The viewer doesn't open LiveCycle documents.
I've tried removing the pdf plugin.
I've tried making the appropriate changes to the Acrobat Reader preferences under "Display PDF in browser using," but this option is actually greyed out and automatically selects/deselects based on the existance of the plug-in.
I've tried doing CMDl-I on a PDF file and changing the "Open With" to pdf reader.
I've tried adding code to the .htaccess directory of my web site forcing the header based on the .pdf extension.
In short, I have not found ANY solution to this. Safari will not use Acrobat or Acrobat Reader and Safari will not open a LiveCycle document.
If anyone has another suggestion I would LOVE to hear it. This is a major problem for us and I hate to try to tell our entire user community that they have to switch to FireFox if they want to view our documents. -
Why won't Safari display altered uploaded files?
If I make some changes in my web page, some changes in CSS setting, and upload the page, it continues to display in the former format. However, if I check Firefox, the newly edited file appears just fine.
I tried repeatedly emptying the Safari cache, and even used Onyx to empty all browser caches, and of course repeatedly try reloading the page but it still does not update.
Does anyone know why this is so? Is there a solution?
Thanks,
RichardYou confused me a little here. Earlier you wrote:
t I can see the changes in GoLive or BBedit (as previews)
but then you say:
That I am also previewing the file in Safari and also loading from my hard disk at that time. So that suggests to me, since Safari does not render it right
Are you seeing changes made to CSS files when previewing in Safari ... or not? I might have read something wrong, but I had the impression you were saying previews in Safari show CSS changes, while previews online do not.
Also, I think there are two things happening and one is confusing the matter. Earlier you wrote:
But when previewed in Safari, it is not the same — the padding is gone.
My feeling was that this was a separate issue, not a problem with caching. (To my knowledge and in my experience, Safari never uses cached files when viewing files on the hard drive.) My thought was that this is a CSS conflict or syntax problem.
Test for the caching issue (in previews vs. online) with something obvious, rather than your padding style... something like a red border or a text style, so you'll be sure if it's there or not.

Why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files
why won't safari 7.0.2 open pdf files
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application 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.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 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. -

Im at a webpage that lists 200 links to PDF children's books. Yesterday I clicked DTA from this page and it showed all of the PDF files. Now when I try that today it doesnt show any PDF files. However, when I click on one of the links from the first page and then use DTA, the PDF files are seen. Why did it change and why can't I select all the PDF files from the original index page? I upgraded to the newest Firefox, downgraded to an older version, and reinstalled DTA twice. Thanks in advance for any help!!
hello, for detailed questions about an addon, please use the support channels that the makers of the extension provide, since they can likely give you much better guidance (in your case please also include the exact web-address where this is/was happening).

Why won't Apple show in my Common files?
Why won't Apple show up in my common files when I try to update my Iphone
I assume Canon 70D came after Lr4 was no longer being fitted with new camera support (i.e. when Lr5 was released).
(feel free to double-check that assumption - if wrong, then forget the rest of this post..).
Remedies:
* upgrade to Lr5, or
* convert to DNG (using free Adobe Converter).

why can't I print a pdf file, it's asking for a password and I have no idea what it is it never asked for one before?
Good afternoon SaraThanks for responding. Yes, I have been able to open these files before without a password. Funny thing is it is happening on both my husband's laptop as well as mine. I'd appreciate any help you could give me but the file is very personal. So, if you can assist in a way that won't compromise the security I would be grateful for your help.Thanks and have a great day!Kim Morse

I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1. After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window. Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window. What next steps should I take? Thanks.

HT6114 why i can not attach new pdf files to my email
why i can not attach new pdf files to my email ?
If you aren't getting the reset link on the Password & Security section of your account then you don't have a rescue email address (an alternate email address is different), and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID -
Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.
Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Why is floating toolbar on online pdf files inactive?
I am running Windows 7 Professional and Adobe Reader 10.1.2. When trying to save online PDF files to my hard drive I cannot make use of the save button on the floating toolbar (see image). Can anybody explain why and what if any settings I need to change?
Dear Ankit, I reverted the check box option in Adobe Reader and rebooted my computer to make sure the changes took effect. When I tried to save the file for which you had included the link, I found the buttons in the reader toolbar on top still inactive. See first screenprint. No floating toolbar in this document. As stated previously the only way to save this file to my computer is to use the command toolbar on my browser. I then tried to save a PDF file downloaded from a Sony website (see link below and 2nd and 3rd screenshot). This time the floating toolbar showed up but again, it was inactive. I don't understand why the floating toolbar on some PDF files shows while on others it doesn't. Regardless, in either case the reader toolbars are inactive. Please try this yourself by going to the link below. I wonder if you experience any of my problems. Thanks!

How to show a pdf file in bi publisher report
Hi All,
We need to show a pdf file as report which was saved in a given location. How to call that pdf file as report. We need to give a hyperlink in the report and when we click on the report the pdf file should be displayed.
When we open a report, there will be just hyperlinks to call serveral reports. When we click on each link , one should call a pdf saved in a particular location.
Thanks.In Word, if you have set the borders on then you should see them in the output. In Word it has a setting to let you see 'gridlines' even if they are not set ie you have turned the borders off. Highlight the table and set all the borders on and re-try. If that fails, try building the table from scratch and copy the cell contents across to the new table
