Trying to print a page from the web on Safari. When print preview opens it shows a blank page. I've tried to save as a PDF with the same results. This is getting frustrating. I shouldn't have to import things into preview or Adobe to print form the web. Any suggestions?
Can you post a link to the page?
Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
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.
This solved my problem instantly. I had only two Plug-ins with PDF in their names, which I put into the Trash. When I re-opened Safari, I could print from it. Thank you very much.
Hi
Just to say this worked for me as well and to thank you guys - so often I puzzle for ages over a problem and I have always found help through the forum.🙂
Hi,
I tried this method but it didn't work. I removed both AdobePDFviewer. plugin and another file with PDF in the name.
Now I cant even view my PDF on Safari 😟 then i tired to put back AdobePDFviewer (the other file I deleted was not in trash for some reason) and it is still not work, I still cannot view PDF
Please help... thank you.
Hi,
I just want to say that it worked after I removed AdobePDFviewer again and restarted my computer.
Thank you.
Thank you, Linc Davis. After months and many hours of dealing with this frustration, I came across your suggestion and it worked! I am dancing!
Works as advertised, so far so good. Thanks so much.
Thanks, this did the job. Will I have issues with Adobe Acrobat or Creative Suite with these plug-ins gone?
Wow, what an effective piece of advice. I did as suggested and "bingo," it worked! Thank you!
This worked for me as well. Thanks for the good advice.
I am unable to print an Ancestry.com page of a photo. All I get is a blank print preview. Using 10.10.5 (14F27). Other web pages print successfully. Help is appreciated.
