Failing to open PDF files

Asked By Jonathan Caldwell 0 points N/A Posted on - 04/19/2012

Guys,

I am failing to open PDF files in Safari or Firefox. When I click on any link that open in PDF format, I get only a dark screen.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I tried saving the document but it says that it can't be exported.

Thanks

Failing to open PDF files

Hello,

I think there are three things that you can do. The first one is that you uninstall your default PDF software for opening this kind of files.

Then you should try installing Adobe Reader X, which has the best browser integration, and try opening that link after you install Adobe Reader. If this doesn’t work then try installing a new browser, I can recommend Google Chrome which has very good compatibility with Adobe Reader.

And the last solution I can give you is to try opening your link in another browser, like Opera. Hope this solves your problems.

Have a good day.
