I am running Acrobat Reader 11.0.01 on a Mac and cannot open pdf files in Safari: I get a black screen when I click on a link to a pdf file from any website. Even make a PDF reader for Mac OS but there is no way I am going anywhere near the Acrobat Reader. Restore preview as default Preview is also your default image viewer, for taking a look at whats inside images.

I’m using FDF technology to build up a PDF. The code works fine on Window and on Mac. Recently, however, I tried to connect to my application using my iPad through Safari, but the below code doesn’t work:
My question: Is there any way to install this plugin on my iPad?

Safari on iPad doesn't allow plugins to be installed. If your fdf file is simple enough, just serve it as a pdf file. Then iPad/iOS will happily open it.
Otherwise you're rather screwed. The options are
-
Write to Steve Jobs so that fdf is natively supported, or plugins are allowed on iOS devices, and hope for the best. (I'm joking)
-
Write a fdf app for iOS devices, and let your users use it. A quick search on the App Store doesn't show me any app which allows opening fdf files, so it might be a business chance to you.

Asm file reader for mac. iOS’s version of Safari does not support third-party plug-ins. You’ll need to serve a generic PDF with the MIME type
