What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

Configuring Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari

Drag the Acrobat application folder from the CD (or disk image) to the Applications folder to install Acrobat. The first time you start Acrobat you will be prompted to accept the end user licence agreement (EULA) and register Acrobat. After you accept the EULA, Acrobat runs a Self-healing procedure which checks for any Acrobat components that need to be installed in other applications. The self-healing process installs the Adobe PDFViewer plug-in file. The AdobePDFViewer.plugin file is the main file used by Acrobat to view PDF files in the Safari browser on Mac OS X is the Adobe PDFViewer.plugin; this file is installed in the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.

If you updated or reinstalled your copy of Safari in order to view PDF files, then do the following:

  1. Completely remove the old version of Safari.
  2. Install the latest version of Safari.
  3. Remove the Adobe PDFViewer.plugin from the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.
  4. In Acrobat run Help > Detect And Repair and choose Adobe PDFViewer.

The first time you start Acrobat or Adobe Reader 8 on Mac OS X, it will automatically install itself as the default PDF viewer for Safari. In order to turn this off, start Acrobat or Adobe Reader, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the "Display PDF in Browser" option. This will cause the PDF to display inside the Safari window using its native PDF viewer.Back to top

Known issues

The following issues have been noted:

  • When you upgrade from Adobe Reader or Acrobat from 7 to 8 on a Mactel machine, PDF files no longer show in the Safari window. Instead a large Acrobat or Adobe Reader icon displays in the middle of the Safari window. This is caused by running Safari under Rosetta; Acrobat and Adobe Reader 8 will not show PDF files in Safari run under Rosetta, whereas Acrobat and Adobe Reader 7 shows PDFs in Safari only under Rosetta. To work around this, you have to turn off Rosetta for Safari, or start Acrobat or Acrobat Reader and go to Preferences > Internet and turn off Display PDF In Browser; PDF files will be viewed in Safari using the Mac OS X native PDF viewing engine after this.
  • When you upgrade Adobe Reader or Acrobat from 7 to 8, PDF files no longer show in other non-Safari browser windows. Instead a large Acrobat or Reader icon displays in the middle of the browser window. This is because the PDF viewing is not supported for any WebKit-based applications other than Safari. Work around this by starting Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and choosing Preferences > Internet and turning off Display PDF In Browser.

Just to be clear, this is an example of what I see (shrunk to 50%) when I click on one of the images:


User uploaded file


But I notice that the smaller image on the main page no longer opens for me. I am not at the same computer as I was earlier today but I could have sworn that image opened earlier. I have no special PDF plug-ins, including no Acrobat plug-in.


The image on the main page that does not work says it is at file://localhost/sYVESi SIExhibit hallFinal-1.pdf when I hover the cursor over it. Maybe you have been testing something with that image?

Badunit in most cases some people do see you the pdf file as you have copied it

i recently realized that some computers can read it.


i had updated acrobat reader on my mac and now safari cannot read any pdf in browser

i've removed adobe reader from libraries and still my safari won't read pdf files.

it seems that iweb is loading the files properly now based on whayt you've shown me.


i fear that safari has a problem reading pdf files now and looking for that remedy... will continue to search out an answer. i cannot uninstall safari...i do not have the original disks


thanks for trying..i will re examine the iweb site for the smaller pictures and check..all images are either single pdfs or multi page pdf's

after 09 upgrade, my site is not viewing pdf enlargement on safari???
