Hello all,

I got a problem since an update! I cannot see anymore a pdf file from a website. I upgraded to safari 3.0.4 build 523.12 and MAC OS 10.4.11, and now there isn't any update available, I'm up to date as Sofware update say it !!

Is there a special option in Safari, to let it open pdf file or something other, to see these pdf files ? I enable the option "Enable plugins" in the preferences of safari (security tabs), but it doesn't help me !

Does anyone have the same problem ? Any other idea ? I try to change a lot of option to safari, but nothing works !!

Thanks for any answer or advice.
 
I have that version of Safari. I just tried it with a .pdf file which I found with Google. It opened it by itself. I didn't even need a helper application.
 
On another mac os 10.4 with the same safari version, it works too for me, but on another mac, after an update, it don't work anymore, and I don't known why, it must be a settings of something others. So, perhaps someone else get the same problem and found an answer !!

So, at this moment, on a mac, I still have this problem, it's really annoying...

That is because another PDF viewer installed is interfering with the PDF function of the new Safari. So check the affected Mac for a third party PDF browser plugin that might be affecting it.
 
Did you have perhaps any idea how can I do that ?
I check on a MAC OS where the pdf can be open, which plugin in safari are installed, and I didn't see any stuff related to pdf !!
 
Safari does not seem to need Adobe. I do not have that, but Safari loaded a PDF file anyway when I tried it. What I do have are Preview and PDFView.

Within a gray page? Looking something like this? If so, that's Adobes's engine at work.

No, the page does not look like that. It looks like a normal Safari page, with a normal Safari toolbar and no sidebar.
