How do I stop PDF's from Opening inside Safari

Several versions back of Safari, I found out how to make PDF's download to the downloads folder or other preferred location (desktop for me) instead of opening inside a Safari window. As I recall, it actually had something to do with a setting in Adobe Reader. With the advent of Safari 7.0, I am now back to the "open inside Safari" behavior. I have searched these discussions, been through all of Reader's and Safari's settings and haven't been able to come up with the solution. Can someone lead me down the correct path?  TIA

Hi,
This may happen if the PDF is opened inside the browser by the PDF plugin.
In '''Tools''' ( or '''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Applications''' look for or type PDF in the search box and for the '''Action''' on the right change it to '''Save File''' or click '''Use other...''' and browse to the PDF main exe and select.

  • Can't stop PDF files from opening in Safari

    I prefer pdf files to download rather than open in Safari. I had no trouble setting this up with Acrobat 5.0 and OSX 10.3. I now have AcrobatPro 8.0.0, Safari 2.0.4, and OSX 10.4.8.
    How do I disable this feature?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Have a look at this MacosXHints thread. Besides, entering the suggested Terminal command, I think it's important to move the Adobe PDF plug-in out of the Internet Plug-ins folder.
    Give it a try. You'll see there is a "reverse" terminal command if it doesn't work.

    I don't have any problem attaching just a MS Word file in Mail. My process is pretty simple....with a message open I click the attach icon (paperclip) at the top of the message, then navigate to where the file is located and select it. I make sure I have the cursor at the bottom of the new message below my signature line. FWIW I use MS Word 2011.

  • How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    How do you stop mobile sites from loading in safari automatically on my iPad? I can't log into mobile me because of this.

    The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
    Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
    Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
    Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

  • How can i stop sharepoint designer from opening my site with WEBDAV

    I have a second collection in my web application for Project Server
    http:\\servername\PWA.
    Whenever I try to edit a page using sharepoint designer, it tells me that
    The website has been configured to disallow page editing with Sharepoint Designer.
    That isnt the reason.  Searching on the interweb, It seems that whenever you have a second collection,  designer always connects using Webdav and this doesn't support designer.
    So -----  Can anyone tell me how to get around this problem without installing PWA as it's own Web Application?
    Thanks in advance - Mickeal Davis

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to stop sharepoint designer from opening my site with WEBDAV.
    What’s the main reason of the problem that related to Project Site Template this by default set to DisableWebDesignFeatu es in
    ONET.XML.
    To enable edit Project Site in SharePoint Designer, you need to remove the DisableWebDesignFeatures="wdfopensite" from ONET.xml of the PWA site.
    More information:

  • How do you stop top sites from loading in safari

    I have tried for days to stop "Top Sites" from loading in Safari 7.0
    In my ~Library I have locked the:
    Safari db
    metadata db
    etc.
    There is no way I can find to stop these crap top sites from loading!!!!!!!!!:(
    Anyone found a way to fix this?

    Never mind, I found out how to do it. However, you can't get rid of all the sites because in Safari 7.0, in the Preferences>General Tab, you can only change Top Sites to a minimum of six. So, you can't entirely get rid of them.
