OS X :: Adobe Reader Plugin Not Working In Snow Leopard
Nov 23, 2009
I recently upgraded my HD and did a clean install of Snow Leopard. Before the upgrade, I could view PDFs in both Safari and Firefox in-browser with Adobe Reader. I prefer this to Preview because of the toolbar options. After the upgrade, even though I have Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader installed, I can not view PDFs in-browser with it. Safari defaults to Preview as a reader and Firefox defaults to download the PDF (I thought it would install the plugin when I installed the Reader. I can not find an independent reader plugin for firefox online). I am running Safari 4.0.4, Firefox 3.5.5, Adobe Reader 9.2.0, and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.3.
I need to test PDF in browser and i installed Adobe Reader, since i have to doble check correct view in reader as in mac os preview, i also have some selection problem with previewafter i installed Adobe Reader some time when i open PDF in Safari speens my CPU up to 100%?can't find i need to keep reader on my mac, but view in safari / browser with previewin reader under preference i found internet and "display PDF in browser using:" and i flag near it but is gray out / disabled even with safari closed
I just bought a new Mac, and find that Adobe Reader 9 does not open PDF files. I get a message saying that Adobe Reader 9 will not work on my Mac. Is there any other software that can use to open PDF files on OS 10.6.1? Mac 10.6.1 Intel Core 2 Duo.
I'm running osx 10.6.4 and Adobe Reader is giving me fits. It doesn't play well. How do I change the default PDF reader from Adobe to Preview or iArchiver? Adobe Reader just grabs hold of the download and won't let go.
I have been able to open pdfs perfectly well up until I changed the security settings on Adobe Reader. As I read somewhere that Apples have an inbuilt pdf reader I trashed everything Adobe, but still can't open pdfs. Tried using Preview to no avail.
Is there some other way of opening pdfs without reinstalling Adobe?
The WEBdav built-in PDF reader in 5.1.7 shows a black page, and looking at the list of plugins, it has no file to go to:WebKit built-in PDF— from file “”.

Using snow leopard, I have a recent problem. When trying to view a pdf file in safari, I get the message to upgrade to the latest version of adobe but I do have the latest version.
I have tried to send the plugin to trash as suggeted here but still no luck.
Using Safari on Snow Leopard 10.6.8, I am suddenly unable to view pdfs - they automatically download and then open in Preview, when previously they would open in a Safari window. I do not have the adobe pdf plugin, having previously removed this months ago. How I can get pdfs to open within a Safari window again?Just to reiterate - the Adobe pdf plugin is not present in either of the internet plug-in folders.
I recently experienced a glitch in which my web browser locked during a shutdown operation. I had just changed a browser preference setting to "empty cookies and history" when I quit the browser. I restored the preference to its previous setting and the browser quit locking up. However, I now have a new problem: I can't download .pdf files (maybe others as well but I was able to download an application file successfully). This problem occurs with both Safari and Firefox browsers.I was recently checking the performance of 2 .pdf readers and I am sure I changed the default reader. I cannot remember how to restore Preview to be the default reader. Maybe this will get me back in business.
Running 10.6.8 and recently updated Safari to 5.1.7. PDFs load in Safari via Quicktime and only show the first page, with no ability to zoom. How can I reset Preview as my Safari pdf reader?
I recently purchased and installed Adobe CS2. With Acrobat Professional comes a Safari plugin that automatically views PDFs in the browser. However, I much prefer the standard Tiger PDF viewer as Acrobat takes forever to load. I've looked everywhere and can't figure out how to disable this feature.
A family member of mine needs Adobe Reader 7 (because they have an old iMac that can't be upgraded to Tiger) and I can't find it anywhere, not on the Adobe site or [URL}. Does anyone know where I can get it?
(PS- the reason they need it is because Preview somehow got deleted and they don't have the OS X install disks.)
I'm trying to email a pdf in Adobe Reader 8.1.5 but when I go to File>Print>PDF button>Mail PDF, I get this strange message saying "saving a pdf file when printing is not supported. Instead choose File>Save" but I'm not trying to save anything, just email.
Ever since the last Adobe Reader update I have been unable to open pdf files in Safari. So I attempted to delete all Adobe applications in hopes of reinstalling the software. Now I can not even save the Adobe Reader install File to download.
After uninstalling pdf reader from adobe, I lost possiblitiy to opend pdf documents in safari. Usually, before installing adobe reader pdf documents opened nicely in Safari, with link to download or print a document. Now, all what opens is a gray page, without any content in it. When trying printing, I get blank page. Has anyone encountered this problem? How can I switch to old Safari behavior - native pdf reading ability, present in OSX?
I just bought a 24 inch iMac (2008 version) and love it but still figting my PC habits.Sure this is a dumb question - I searched but could not findI am running latest MAC OS X version. I go to Adobe reader website to download but OS X is not an option. Do I simply use the MAC OS version or one of the other options?
I recently installed Adobe Reader. It did installed the plug-ins for Safari (so I can view them in the browser) but not Firefox. Where can I find this plug-in? Or should I re-install Adobe Reader?
I am working for my eagle scout rank and in order to do my service project, a form must be filled out on the computer as a pdf. I started the PDF on my old dell, and i downloaded Adobe reader for my mac to finish it. For preview, it takes the lines of the paragraph and overlaps the words, rendering it unreadable, and for adobe reader, the words are invisible unless editing those words. when the text box isn't selected the words disappear.
I had an update to adobe reader today which has resulted in the inability for it to auto download and open of pdfs. Before the update if I clicked on a link the document would automatically open.
I used to use Preview to view PDF files but found the files didn't display properly, in particular the annotations, so I installed Adobe Reader & the files displayed properly. Lately though the files have changed & open in Safari through a plugin, which doesn't display properly & don't give the option to open in Adobe Reader. I have deleted Adobe Reader & re-installed, but it is a long process to get it to open in Adobe Reader. How do I disable the plugins & get PDF files to open directly in Adobe Reader?
I use Safari 5.1.7 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3. I have mac osx.6.8 which, according to Adobe, is compatible with Adobe Reader 10.1.3. Selecting a pdf file to display results in a black page.
