pdf printing Safari - Fritz - 04-12-2014
I was trying to save/print a pdf of an ebill today.
Safari 6.1.3 showed the preview, but the result was zero bytes. But Chrome had NP.
Any idea what that would be?

Do you have Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro installed? That would do it -- when you have their plug in installed (and keep in mind it hangs around even if you've removed the app), you can't just hit print and then print -- you have to use the dialog that comes up at the bottom of the screen when you mouse down that way. Try it. I'll wait.

See? You can either print that way or delete the AdobePDFViewer.plugin in your Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Folder. Do this latter option and you'll get the old/original behavior back.

Yes, Zoidberg is correct. Uninstall Adobe Reader. Safari (and OS X) handle PDFs natively.

Again, remember it's not removing/uninstalling the Reader that will make the difference, it's the plug-ins in that folder (the main Library was where mine were, though I think they could also be installed in the user's Library).

joy!

thanks again for this. I just took it off the older Xeon tower where it was driving me nuts too.
