Adobe Acrobat is interfering with PDF files shown with WebView

Question

I am using the WebView class from WebKit to display a PDF document.

The PDF document does not display when Adobe Acrobat is installed on the system. Uninstalling Acrobat fixes the issue.

When Acrobat is installed, a white screen with a loading bar is shown:

When Acrobat is not installed, the PDF is shown:

How can I fix this and get it to work with Acrobat installed?

Answer 1

Access the preferences property of the WebView, and disable plugins.

[webView.preferences setPlugInsEnabled:NO];

This will disable the Acrobat plugin.
