Problem opening FDF files with Acrobat and Safari

[Guest]

Hi,

When I download a FDF file from a website, Safari opens it, which in turn opens Acrobat Professional (8.1.2), then a Security dialog appears asking if I want to allow access to the site. If I click yes, then another dialog pops up asking the same thing. If I tick Remember my action, and click OK, then Safari and Acrobat start flashing quickly until Safari crashes.

Does anyone know why this happens, and what do I need to do to resolve the problem, either with Safari, Acrobat, or on the server?

Thanks,

Joris

I was having the same issues and saved your post to reference later.  After seeing many complaints and sending reports to apple when safari crashed using rosetta in 32 bit....Apple finally seemed to fix it with 10.6.3 as long as safari runs in 32 bit but not using rosetta. I hope this solves this for you!

Since upgrading Safari, I had the same problem - My easiest fix was to use omniweb browser to open theses files..

Anyone have an update on this issue? Running Safari in 32-bit mode isn't an option for me.... none of these workarounds seem to work for XFDF files.
