Can not open PDF-files from the internet...

Hi,
I migrade my data to my new mac. But the old user xxx is now yyy. On the old imac I can download PDF-Files with the mozilla firefox. There was a copy from the pdf at the desktop!
Now with the new mac mini and the new user, I get an error, because the firefox (safari too) can not oper the folder Users/xxx/Desktop....
Where can I change this settings to yyy???
Please help...
Thanks!
ULLI

It sounds like you copied your firefox profile across from your other computer and just need to change the destination for downloaded files. Under Firefox->Preferences, look in the Main tab under downloads where it says "Save files to" and click "Choose" to change the destination directory. That ought to fix it.

Open pdf files from the internet

It takes forever to open a pdf file from the internet. How do I set acrobat to allow faster opening of pdf files from a website?

Hi cacody,
Could you please specify more on the same.
What version of Acrobat are you using. Are you trying to open PDFs in the browser or on a local drive?
Did you try using a different browser?
You might check under Edit > Preferences > Internet whether 'Allow fast web view' is selected.
Hope to hear from you.

How can i open pdf files from the web without saving them

Windows 7
Firefox 5
Adobe Reader 9
when i want to see a web based pdf file i have to save it before opening it instead of it just opening in a pdf window.

You can't.
Those PDFs are only accessible on the Mac.
They can not even be accessed by iOS.

I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Opening a pdf file from the internet.

Everytime I try to open a pdf file from the internet a window pops up and tells me that my adobe reader has a problem or gives me a blank page. I have ie 10, adobe reader XI and adobe acrobat 8 pro. All this is on win 7. When I installed the acrobat 8 pro it could not find the adobepdf.dll. I searched the disc, and tried to direct the installation to it but it would not accept it. What can I do to correct this issue?

Yes, unlike earlier IE versions, IE10 has only one executable, but it can run in 32-bit or 64-bit mode.

Hi Eidda,
This may because the attachment is a winmail.dat file. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information. Note: the article is written for OS X mail, but does also apply to this situation.

Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari.

Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.

Hi arewers,
Do you have Adobe Reader installed, by any chance? If so, are you aware if it was the PPC or Intel version which you installed? In any case, for the time being, have a quick look in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/' using Finder and see if there's an Adobe plugin lying around. If there is, try moving it out of the folder and restarting Safari.

I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus. Now I cannot open any .pdf files from the internet.

I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus and now I cannot open any Adobe .pdf files from the internet. Fix?

Go to F_Secure's Flashback Removal Tool web page, download their Flashback trojan detection/removal tool, and follow the instructions you find there.
Also install the latest java update which also tries to remove these trojans.
Java for OS X Lion 2012-003
And only download the adobe flash plugin from the adobe site.
Update:
Just because you cannot download pdf may not be an indication of the trojan. There's been a number of reports about problems like that with pdf's. Look at the More Like This section on the right side of this page.

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

I can not open PDF files in safari

I can not open PDF files in safari. How can I fix this problem?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx
lee
