Linked PDFs in Muse don't seem to open or automatically download when I click on them in Firefox.

Linked PDFs in Muse don't seem to open or automatically download when I click on them in Firefox. Am I doing something wrong? Seems to work okay in Safari. This is for a Muse site uploaded to an FTP site.

PDFs are not web files.  Technically they're media files that require helper applications.  As such, your end users need the latest Acrobat reader & plug-ins installed for their browsers.  If either of these are not installed, the PDF links won't "do" anything when clicked. Similarly, some people set their preferences to download & launch PDF files in Acrobat Pro instead of their browser. 
Since there's no way to tell which software & settings your end users have, you should follow the customary procedure of creating a small thumbnail image of the PDF to give users a visual clue of what the file contains along with a direct link to the PDF & instructions on how to right click to save the file to their hard drive.

  • Question: Trouble linking PDF in Muse

    Hi. I purchased a Adobe Creative Cloud subscription for Christmas and have since been learning how to use Muse. Today, I was working on a website for a client that includes a downloadable PDF of the clients brochure. Everything works fine except that when you click the PDF link it opens the clients primary website, http://www.ipgauto.com, instead of downloading the PDF. I have carefully checked to make sure I followed the instructions in the tutorial, but to no avail. Also, I am having the same trouble with one of the text hyperlinks. I linked it to ipgrewards.com but when I click on it it opens ipgauto.com. I have broken and reapplied the link several times, but with no different result. My webBasics temporary URL is http://ipgtemp03.businesscatalyst.com/index.html. Any suggestions?

    You have different links assigned for clicking on the text and for clicking on the graphic.  Clicking on the text opens a PDF. Clicking on the graphic opens a web page/
    Just a comment. Ya may want to move the graphic and text to the right a bit.

    I've seen notes about clearing the cache but it seems that this is an older OS and I can't find the plist mentioned here because it's an older system.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cL9RuDV3Qc 
    Thoughts?  Anyone? 

    GUYS, I NEED HELP !
    ANYONE?

  • When I open a PDF page that has links they do not open when I click on them

    When I open a PDF page in Firefox 4.0 that has links, the links will not open when I click on them. If I try that in Safari, or when I had the earlier versions of FF, I had no problem. Is this just a setting issue?

    That is a limitation of iOS. They will view correctly when you view them in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.

  • I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

    The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
    605124.pdf.html
    Change the extension to .pdf
    And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
    Use this link to download it automatically:

  • Hot links no longer work. When I click on them nothing at all happens. What do I do?

    Hot links no longer work. When I click on them, nothing at all happens. what do I do to fix this problem?

    That is just a link to what is already on this website. I don't know what any of that stuff MEANS. Tell me what to click on in my computer, if you know. I THINK it has Windows 8.1 but don't know how to tell. I was nagged into installing 8.1 and didn't like it and tried to uninstall it but I think it is still there. The hyperlinks were still working long after that. Now, suddenly, google chrome doesn't work, hyperlinks in emails (only) don't work. I don't know how to "reset" anything. This was working fine; now it isn't. I didn't do anything different, and every time I get a message it directs me to click on a hot link and my problem is that hotlinks in my e-mails are NOT WORKING!!! HELP!!!

  • Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, the photo comes up for a second, then the picture turns black with a white fuzzy circle inside it and what looks like an explanation mark. Some older, some newer,  no common thread.

    Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, they come up for a second, then turn black with a white circle in the middle and what looks like an explanation mark. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the photos that are a problem, some older ones, some newer, some albums have none, some albums have a lot.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    time to time (when I have a chance), I will go to Finder, bring up ALL Images and start going through them to label them (before I put a label on them, they are simply listed as 123 jpg, 124 jpg etc.).
    You're damaging the Library doing that, and that's the cause of your problem.
    Never, ever, ever use the  All Images search and work on items in yoyr iPhoto Library. They must only be accessed via the iPhoto window.
    Restroe from abck up or try rebuild the Library:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Next: You need to learn how to use iPhoto. There's no need to be dragging things to the desktop:

  • I don't know how to go back to the original look of my Dashboard. I don't know what I did, but now when I click on it, my Words with Friends game comes up and that is all. How do I "reset" it to the original things on it?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down.  How to solve?

    I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again.  Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go.  I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it.  Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others.  The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

    Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

  • When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Is there a fix for this?

    When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Why would this option be missing and is there a fix for this?

    Hello Nigel.
    Are you sure the Bookmarks you important are nowhere to be found? They should be stored in your bookmark manager, somewhere. To access the bookmark manager, go into ''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks...''. Try searching there.
    You can change their place from there too.

  • I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application

    I don't want Mac Mail to automatically download mail when I open that application. Is there a way to stop that? I can't find it in preferences. I have Check for new messages: Manually.
    Also, don't want Mail to automatically download on my iPhone 4S and iPad 3.
    Thanks

    Hi ctconnor;
    Since there are no virus for OS X, I seriously doubt that is what is causing your problem here.
    My suggestion open System Preferences then Accounts followed by Login Items. Once there deselect Microsnot Word.

  • My TV show purchases don't play correctly. When I click on them, a black screen with no audio plays. The timecode for the show runs, but I don't see or hear anything besides that black screen. Help!

    Have you tried resetting the iPad:
    Reset iPad:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I don't have a "backup to disc" option when I click file and then library - I have version 10.5.

  • HT2500 links will not open when I click on them in email

    links will not open when I click on them in email

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How to make firefox to open new a tab when you click a link in pdf

    I have this pdf page that has a lot of links embedded opened on Firefox (24.7).
    When I click the link on the pdf page, it jumps to the page on the very same tab.
    Is there any way to open links on a pdf page in a new tab?
    What value in about:config should I modify to make it happen??

    Hi,
    You can't open link in new tab by middle click on PDF page...
    You must be talking about behavior on normal web page.
    Thanks for your response anyways.
