Safari extension for Adobe Reader not working properly

  • March 22, 2017

I have generated a link to a specific page in an Adobe PDF document, which I am linking to from a website that I manage using Safari as my browser. Problem is it only opens the PDF document at page 1, not the specified page.

It works perfectly fine in Google Chrome. I need a fix for this, as other Safari users are experiencing the same problem. I've logged a job with Apple Support, and they've come back to me saying their engineers can't do anything, it's a problem with the Safari extension for Adobe Reader.

Can someone help me please / tell me how I can contact Adobe to log this as a problem with them?

Thanks,

Gill.

    Hi Soumik,

    All set to on, and still goes to page 1, not page 3. See image below re: plug-in settings.

    Hi GIll,

    The settings are for Adobe Flash Player. Can you check the same for Adobe Reader too and share the screenshot.

    Hi Gill,

    Can you share with us the link to the specific page in the PDF document?

    Also let us know your Reader, Acrobat(if any), safari versions.

    Regards

    Soumik

    Hi Soumik,

    Here's the link: http://www.frrr.org.au/resources/FRRR_AR-15-16-lores.pdf#page=17

    I'm using Safari 10.0.3, Adobe Reader version 2015.023.20056.

    But I'm talking about whatever the extension is that allows me to open PDF files within Safari, not separately in Adobe Reader.

    Cheers,

    Gill.

    OK, thanks for picking that up. I've made the changes as requested:

    I'm not sure what that error message means - is it significant?

    But guess what? IT'S WORKING! Both links (http://www.pdf995.com/samples/pdf.pdf#page=3 and http://www.frrr.org.au/resources/FRRR_AR-15-16-lores.pdf#page=17) took me through to the correct page number in the PDF document.

    Thanks so much for your patience and perseverance Soumik.

    Gill.
