Safari for Windows cannot handle PDF files. Need Help!
Our product produces dozens of PDF formatted reports. A major stumbling block we have with Safari for Windows is that when a client runs a report in our software the PDF file is simply downloaded to their default download location and nothing else happens.
In Safari on Mac, the PDF file would automatically cause Acrobat Reader to launch. This is the desired behavior. Firefox and IE ask me what I would like to do with the PDF file (open or save). I could not find any options in Safari for Windows to control this behavior. Our clients are complaining that they have to take several extra steps to open PDF files in Safari that are handled automatically in Firefox and IE.
Is there another way to configure Acrobat to open a downloaded PDF file automatically either in Safari, Acrobat itself, or via some Windows configuration? If we cannot find a way to do this, we will have to eliminate support for Safari on Windows until this capability exists.
