How to Remove Adobe PDF Viewer from Safari

Published February 2nd, 2006 in Mac OS X, Software

Somehow I managed to install Adobe’s PDF Viewer as a web plugin. Now Safari no longer uses it’s built-in PDF viewer which is significantly faster that Adobe’s plugin. If you run into a similar situation here is how to remove the plugin: Delete the file AdobePDFViewer.plugin from the folder /Library/Internet Plug-ins

    Thanks for the tip ! I recently uninstalled Reader completely, I got tired of it wanting to update itself every time it ran, and its sooo slow. Well, the uninstall left the plugin behind.

    Now I’m 100% Reader-free.

    Thanks for posting this, it was very useful since I couldn’t find anything in Safari’s help for removing plug-ins.

    Thanks - while I like the suite produced by adobe - I resent automatic plugins that seem to be installed without a choice that effect the normal operation of a program (e.g. Safari).

    It is true that preview is so much quicker than Acrobat regardless of its features.

    Many thanks

    Regards

    Jon

    Thank you. I am in the process of uninstalling adobe reader 8 and it has turned difficult. At least I have more control now, but there is still dust left behind.

    Thank you. i am running Safari Beta and everytime I opened a pdf web file Safari imploded! Removing the adobe plug-in returned everything to optimal operation.

    i also found that this stopped pop ups!! i accidently clicked on an ad and it installed a pop up plug in that kept redirecting me to advert sites it was sooo annoying!! this tip really heped my thank you very much

    Nice one! Opening PDFs crashed in all users except the administrator account. This is probably a permissions thing but going back to preview sorted it out nicely. Thanks.

    Thank you that plugin was bothering me!! Who ever decided opening pdfs in a browser was a good idea?

    Thank you!

    What a pain, Adobe making me do a bunch of extra work to keep my default settings. Fuck you Adobe.

    Thanx! Installed the CS package and sudenly inline pdf’s didnt work in safari anymore. You solved my problem. Cheers

    Thanks for the heads up. There were several sites that I couldn’t access a .pdf file (i.e., Chase.com) Upon removing the Adobe plug-in everything works.

    Thank you very much!

    My Adobe Viewer Plugin was broken and every time I opened a pdf a dialogue appeared that AdobeViewer couldn’t find a viable Adobe Reader …

    Now I removed it completely and I’m enjoying the speed of Safari again!

    Cheers!
