See a PDF in Safari on Mac
Safari has a built-in PDF reader that automatically displays PDF documents right in the browser window. You don’t have to download and install a separate PDF reader app.
Open Safari for me
Move the pointer to the bottom center of the browser window to see controls.

If you have both Adobe Acrobat and the free Adobe Reader installed, make sure that you start both (and potentially accept the EULA) before you use the browser plug-in. In general, make sure that you follow the instructions on this page to enable Acrobat/Reader in Safari: Display PDF in browser Adobe Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader DC.
In Safari on your Mac, click a link to a PDF to see the file. Safari has a built-in PDF reader, so you don’t need to download and install one. Global Nav Open Menu Global Nav Close Menu
