IPad cannot download PDFs from Safari.
My brand-new iPad cannot download PDF files from my class website on Safari. I was wondering if there was any kind of downloading application I needed to install first. Any thoughts? When I touch the file icon, a little window appears saying "Download failed: Safari cannot download this file."

I have Adobe Acrobat version 11.0.0 installed with Adobe CC. I cannot download PDFs from the internet (in this case from PubMed National Library of Medicine). If I try to do this I get a popup message saying that "ADOBE ACROBAT NPAPI PLUG-IN, VERSION 11.0.0 NEEDS YOUR PERMISSION TO RUN. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GIVE THIS PERMISSION OR WHAT TO DO. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP?
What buttons do you get to click on with this message? What browser are you using (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer...)

I cannot download pdfs from FireFox on a Mac
Up until just a few days ago I could download pdfs from websites through Firefox. As far as I know I did not upgrade or change anything. I followed all of the tutorials, the Troubleshooting Information tips, deleted profile.ind files, added the PDF viewer 0.6.39 and that does not work.
I am on a Mac, OS 10.6.8
Firefox 17You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

Hi,
When I receive a PDF in an email, it is embedded and I cannot download it and send it to GoodReader or wherever. When I click over it, it simply gives me the options "Save Image" and "Copy".
How can view PDF attachments as PDF attachments so they can then be saved to a PDF Reader App.
Thanks.
Rob.It is strange. I cannot get to open a PDF file on my iPad.
Is it by default?
I can work it around using GoodReader to acces my email accounts but we talk about a major issue here.

How do I download PDFs from Safari by default?
I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window. I know it can be done, worked before I installed a new drive. But I don't remember what to do to make downloading the default.
Thanks!I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window.
What version of Mac OS X are you running, and what version of Safari? There is no default behavior to download a PDF file; you can only do that by Control-clicking on the link for the file and choosing to download it. -

I can't open downloaded pdfs from safari
When I download a file from an internet site. I cannot open it and I get an error message "safari cannot open because no available application can open it" It is just a pdf document.
Also, when I try to open documents from my documents files, I get a similar message saying "The application preview can't be opened"I was going to ask you to post a screenshot, but that doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Below the Open with menu, there should be a Change All button. You don't have it?

HT2672 Download PDFs from Safari and Mail
This does not work for me. When I try to download the linked file, all I get is a irrelevant html web page. This happens with pdf links in Apple Mail and Safari. What happened to my pdfs I used to be able to download in Firefox and MS Entourage?
Did a few more things, went in to Font Book and ran a validation of all fonts. Several (21) were shown to have a "problem" so I removed them from the computer but it didn't resolve my issue. Additionally, I'm seeing other quirky things happening with Mail.app failing to stay connected to Exchange 2010 server and stopps pulling down email. I thought maybe it was rules as I ran into this issue on Lion several months ago so I removed all rules (disabling them didn't seem to matter) and have also removed MailTags and MailActOn from Indev. Still no resolution to the missing icons and this is really a problem for me. I don't want to have to reinstall Mac but I guess if I have to, I have to.

When I am on a website and need to download a PDF it tells me I need to get latest update of Adobe Reader. So I get latest update (God knows how many times now) but still cannot open the PDFs - any suggestions?
This is probably because the websites you are visiting have bad Javascripts to check the version of Acrobat but can you screenshot the error that you receive and the post it?

When I try to print a pdf downloaded by safari I only get a blank, black page, if I print via safari itself, and an error that no pages are selected (when thy are) if I try to print via adobe reader, I'm running OSX 10.9.2 and Safari 7.0.3
To view PDF in Preview, you have to remove Adobe Reader.
Remove Adobe plug ins if any.
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click it and then select Move to Trash”. -
I have Adobe Reader XI. I cannot download PDFs from websites. Opening stand alone PDFs from files or emails works fine. Clicking Open does not work and clicking Save or Save As does not allow me the option of saving as a PDF. Is there a reason for this?

Go to http://helpx.adobe.com/reader.html and right-click on the link 'PDF of Reader XI Help'; can you show me a screenshot of your right-click menu?
Here is what I see when I do the same -

Cannot download .pdf files and word docs from KM using Web Dynpro
Dear Portal Gurus,
Using KM API, I am trying to download, documents from KM in my Web Dynpro Application. But .pdf files and word docs with screenshots are not getting retrieved from KM. Word docs opens with no content and Adobe opens with an error saying "Either it is a damaged file or It is not a supported file".
I am using the following KM service to download the content.
public byte[] retrieveResourceInBytes(String strRid){
///// after a few lines ////
if (this.loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
// create a resource context with the authenticated user
rContext = new ResourceContext(this.loggedOnUser);
// create a RID to handle a resource
aRid = RID.getRID(strRid);
try {
// get an instance of a resource factory
final IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
// retrieve a folder/file with context
aResource = aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
if(aResource.isCollection()) {
aResource = (ICollection) aResource;
IPropertyMap objIPropertyMap = aResource.getProperties();
IMutablePropertyMap objIMutablePropertyMap =objIPropertyMap.getMutable();
objHashMap = new HashMap();
if (aResource != null) {
IContent oldContent = aResource.getContent();
InputStream objInputStream=oldContent.getInputStream();
byte[] theBytes = new byte[objInputStream.available()];
objInputStream.read(theBytes);
return theBytes;
} // catches all the exceptions here///
Could you please advise if I am doing something wrong else could you please advise me for any corrections which would help?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Zeena

Hi,
Which web browser are you using to view the PDF? Safari 5.1.8
When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader add-in you will either see a floating toolbar

or a normal toolbar

and it works! Thanks
Hope this will help you.
Thanks

HT5701 Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4?
Cannot download pdf files with Safari 6.0.4
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 into the text box that opens (command-V), 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.
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.
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. -
My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .
Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
