Adobe PDF Document in Safari not working

Hello,


Recently put Abobe Creative Suite on my MacBook Pro - which is working fine. But when I go to view a PDF online with Safari it brings up this message:

User uploaded file

Tried reinstalling Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat works fine generally opening PDFs so not sure what's wrong. Google Chrome on my MacBook Pro can view PDFs like normal.

Back up all data.


Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.

The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.

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.
