Can't Download pdf files

I can’t see pdf files on websites with safari 7.0?

Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin (or anything Adobe related) in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

Safari - can't download pdf files

In the past few days I have used Safari to go to a number of websites that I use on a weekly basis. I have normally downloaded pdf files of documents. But at present I can't get the pdf file to download.
Jim

Hi James,
As Yang suggests, 'cannot create file' normally suggests that the download folder you have selected is not somewhere you have permissions to write files to. Try changing it to somewhere that should be writable, such as your Desktop and retry the link.
I tried the directions you provided and it works fine here.

Have Adobe X and can't download pdf files. says I have encountered a problem

Tried to download a newer version of adobe but I won't download....what can I do?

Hi,
Did you pay for this software or did was it already on your system?
If it is Adobe X Reader, try these steps:
1. Go to Control Panel and look for Adobe Reader in the list of programs.(if you dont find Adobe Reader, go to step 3).
2. Select Adobe Reader and uninstall / remove it.
3. Go to this link http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO and download the latest version of Adobe Reader by clicking on the download button.
4. Once it installs successfully, try downloading the said PDF file and see if it opens.
5. If the PDF file still doesnt open, try downloading or opening a different PDF and see if it works. (this is an important step as we can verify if the problem is with one specific file).
Please do post here if you face any issue.
Thanks

Can't download pdf files from the internet?

I can't seem to download my utility bill pdf files from the internet? I use to but in the last few months i haven't been able to. Can anyone help, please?

What is your operating system & version?
What web browser do you use?
What is your Reader version?
What exactly means "can't"?

HT1338 Suddenly I can't download pdf files or many images from the internet on my macbook air. It is up to date and this is a recent issue.

My macbook air was purchased last September and has been pretty reliable. But recently I stopped being able to down pdf files from the internet - nothing opens. Also, many images do not download and I have trouble getting onto a wireless system I've been using at work. Can anyone tell me what this is?

In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins. Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs. Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

I have 4.0.1 and I can't download PDF files in my bank account URL. I can in IE.

I recently upgraded to 4.0.1. When I go to my bank account site I request a download of a statement in PDF format. It does not download and gives no error message. When I do the same thing in IE it downloads the statement. When my husband does the same thing in Firefox 3.6.17 it downloads the statement. It worked until I upgraded.

cor-el, you nailed it.
There was a plug-in called "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI". With that disabled and the PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 enabled, I can now open PDFs in Firefox.

I had apower surge and blew out my modem. Bought a new modem / router, and now I can not download PDF files. If I use internet explorer I can download them. Not with Firefox, I'm using Firefox 5.0

Everything else works fine. I've tried with 3 different modems. I was told it wasn't the modem. Something else is preventing The PDF file from loading.I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled,checked all the settings. I can't find anything wrong. I figure it must be missing a plugin or something'''bold text'''

Adobe Reader>Preferences>Internet.

I can't download PDF files or excel files from my email

Why I cannot download PDF or excel files from my email. I click on the attach but it does nothing at all

You are saying that files are not opened in the mail app when you are reading the email or the file does not open when you tap on the icon?
Try quitting the mail app and the launch it again. Try restarting the iPad as well.
To quit the mail app .... Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I updated firefox to newest version & now can't download pdf files

This is going on on both my desktop and laptops. On mac so can't download Firefox 4

If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

Can't download PDF files with Safari

When I try to download a PDF using Safari, it will save to my Desktop, but when I go to open it, I get the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired." If I try to use the Print command and save it as a PDF, I get nothing but a blank document.

Patrick,
The following article from TUAW may be of help: http://tinyurl.com/9tqn45d. It states that the problem may be caused by 'AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin' in the Internet Plugins folder. Deleting that plugin seems to fix the problem for many people.
I don't have this problem even though I have the 'AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin' installed. Perhaps the reason I don't get the error message is because I use the Adobe PDF Viewer as my default plugin for viewing PDFs in Safari. In fact, if I remove the 'AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin', I can no longer see PDFs in Safari, only download them.
So, the error messages may exist only for users of Safari's built-in PDF-viewer. I find the Adobe Plugin has a few more tools than the built-in one. Using that one may be an alternate solution to this problem.

Can't download PDF files from Firefox or Safari

When I click on a PDF from a webpage it has always downloaded and opened with Preview. Recently (potentially correlated to when I had to download Adobe Acrobat) the PDFs won't open at all.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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 download .pdf files any more

I click on the link to download and see the progress bar, then get the error message "There is a problem parsing the package."

I have not seen this error before but this person made a video how to troubleshoot it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyp40p0FZzI]

When I try to open a downloaded PDF file it opens for about 6 seconds and then closes - how can I fix that?

I am using a Dell XPS8500 desktop with 64 bit Windows 7.
No problem downloading PDF files but when I open them they disappear before I can print.

Hello,
Which application are you trying to open the PDF files in? Firefox or Adobe Reader? Or another?
If adobe reader then please make sure that your copy is up to date. You can get the latest version here - http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
Also I notice that you are using Firefox 19. Unless you have a particular reason to run an old version of Firefox is it much better to keep updated. The latest version is v22. New security fixes are applied in every new version of Firefox. Without them your PC is vulnerable. Please see this article: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
