How do I save/download a PDF file  as an actual PDF that opens in Adobe Reader?

When I save/download a PDF from Google Chrome it always saves as an Internet Explorer file instead of a PDF that opens in Adobe Reader.
Why is this?
And how can I fix it?
I really need PDF files for school and work.

What means "an Internet Explorer file"; what is the file type / extension?
Also, how do you "save/download" these files?

  • PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

    I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

    Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
    I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
    As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
    Still waiting.

  • Firefox repeatedly asks me what to do with PDF files, even after I tell it to use Adobe Reader to open them.

    For some reason, Firefox repeatedly asks me what to do with certain PDF files (but not all) even after I have indicated that I want it to use Adobe Reader X to open them and checked the "always use this application" box. I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps on the Firefox support website to no avail. However, unlike what is shown in the troubleshooting section, when I go into Tools/Applications/Preferences, I do not see a listing for "Adobe Acrobat Document." Instead, there is a listing for "pdf file," which opens with "Adobe Reader"--no "(default)" or "(in Firefox)" appended.

  • How to save my PDF file from Acrobat to my document in my Adobe Reader in my iPad ???

    I can't save my file from the Acrobat to my iPad Adobe Reader ....... This make me difficult to save things in my iPad ..... I really need someone help !!!!

    You can move any pdf file from your computer to your Reader iOS app with the iTunes application using its sync capability. You can also place the pdf on the web and use Safari or email it to yourself (and use Mail) to get the pdf into Reader for iOS. When you get a link to a pdf you can tap the link to view the pdf file file. When viewing the pdf file you can tap the pdf file again and you will be given a choice of applications you can use to opening the pdf file in the app will transfer the pdf to the application's sandbox.

  • Why can't I open pdf files in my browser even though I have Adobe Reader 9.4.1 downloaded?

    This is an irregular problem. Sometimes pdf files open; sometimes not. The message is always that this type of file is not supported by my browser.

    Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

  • Can't sign in while using on a PDF file. Box pops up then disappears.  Adobe Reader up to date, account in good standing.

    Just today my Export PDF program won't let me sign in, so I can sign my document.  Sign in box pops up then disappears right away.
    Adobe reader is up to date, as is my subscription to Export PDF.  Have rebooted computer, tried different browser.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks for your input!

    Hi HIROLLERS,
    It sounds like you've tried signing in both from Reader and the web browser.
    In Reader, what happens when you click the Fill & Sign tab in the Tools panel?
    Have you tried clearing the browser cache, or using a different web browser?  In either case, you should be able to get to the Fill & Sign tab (you don't need an ExportPDF subscription to sign a document).
    Best,
    Sara

  • I can't open pdf files.  The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

    I can't open pdf files. 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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 into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    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.

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • How to save downloaded update installer files

    How can I locate a downloaded update installer file so I can save it and use to install on another mac without having to download all over again?  Today I downloaded updates for OS X and also for Office 2011.  The first is over 2GB and the second around 300MB.  I have installed on my Macbook Pro, but I have another 3 units to update. I live in a 3rd world country with very slow internet and it takes me days to download such files.
