Pdf files not saved as pdfs asnymore!!!!

hi everyone,
i have this seriously annoying issue regarding pdf downloaded from firefox , they are automatically saved as text files .
tried changing properties and update change to similar , still doesnt work . i can still make them run on adobe but my workflow is to combine huge number of files as one . so i have open them individually and save as pdf so i can combine them
pleaaaaaaaaase help me!!!!!

Have you Opened FireFox
Gone  to Firefox menu > Preferences  > Helper Applications
Next scroll through list and choose Acrobat X or Reader X. Or if you have neither choose Apple's Preview Or download PDF Browser Plugin by Schubert of Germany In stall in The main Library (click on hardrive Icon look for Library), insert plugin in Internet Plugins.
Caution: If you use Preview on PDF Forms and do anything to any forms it will mangle the forms and make useless.
Note: IF you use the Schubert PdfBrowser Plugin it does not do Forms. Schubert is leaglly banned from adding Forms support by Adobe.
Finally try repair permissions.  (Disk Utilities)
Oh BTW: Please stop shouting . Beside being difficult to read if at normal sized text, All caps is equivelent you shouting at top of your lungs.
I am assuming your new to the Internet scene and don't know better. Most people ignore post in all caps.

  • PDF files not saving/missing and leaving "aa12345" and "aaa12345" files??? - Solution

    risscand: I have workers that are unable to save and they are seeing an "aaa04916" type file in their working folder. This is causing us to lose work (because we are unable to save over the original file) or send out incomplete documents.
    Mudassir: As I understand when you try to edit and save a document, it directly opens "Save As", is that correct?
    risscand: No. When the user saves normally. Ctrl+S or the "Save" icon via the disk at the top of the page it appears to save however the PDF does not actually rewrite
    risscand: This results in an aaa12345 file in the folder, but an unchanged PDF.
    Mudassir: Okay.
    Mudassir: Thank you for the information.
    Mudassir: I will be glad to help you with this issue.
    risscand: Excellent
    Mudassir: May I know if you are chatting from the issue facing computer?
    risscand: I am not currently experiencing the issue but many of the employees in this office are.
    risscand: I can review the issue and see the files however, our worked is based off of a server.
    Mudassir: Okay.
    Mudassir: Marissa, this error often occurs due to a confict with Acrobat application and Windows Preview.
    Mudassir: In order to resolve the issue, you need to disable the Windows Preview in the Windows Explorer
    Mudassir: Follow the steps below to fix:
    Mudassir: Go to “Computer” or a windows explorer window, click on the “View” tab and then make sure the “Preview pane” is unselected. Then try saving your PDF document again.
    risscand: This option was not used by the users
    risscand:: I just asked one of the individuals who was experiencing the issue and she has never used that option.
    Mudassir: Just a minute.
    risscand: Thanks
    Mudassir: Thank you for your patience.
    Mudassir: Are all the users using Acrobat or Adobe Reader to save the PDF files?
    risscand: Acrobat
    Mudassir: Is that PDF file saved on network?
    risscand: Yes
    Mudassir: Does that users have the complete access to the network drive and are all the users use that PDF at a time?
    risscand: The PDF's are used one at a time. The individual who combines the reports that the workers probably does not have complete access to the network.
    Mudassir: To re-write the PDF which is saved on network, the users need to have complete access. If not, they will get the save as option and they can save that PDF file on their local drive
    Here are the options I got from Customer Service - Hopefully it will help some of you!

  • Modification to pdf files not saved in the original document

    The modification to pdf files are not saved in the original documents (e.g. in My Documents) but a new file is created in Download\Adobe Reader and for every saving I do a new file (e.g.  -1, -2, ..) is created. Is that normal? If yes, it is really annoying.
    Adobe reader 10.6.1
    Android 4.1.2
    Thanks

    No, it is not a read only file and I can modify it. The problem is that the modifications are not saved with the same name in the original (e.g. in My Documents) folkder but in a different one (Download\Adobe Reader) and for every saving I do a new file (e.g.  -1, -2, ..) is created.

  • Pdf file not saving imputed information

    i am trying to save a pdf file that i have filled out, but when i save it and go back to look at it, the text information i have filled out is blank. how do i save my text? i am filling out an applictaion.

    is there anything to do about that???
    Yes, but depending on what it is, it might be reasonably inexpensive, or hundreds of dollars.
    why doesnt it just save like a normal file?
    Because it's not a normal file. If you're filling out a PDF with Acrobat Reader, it cannot save form fields, by design. If you open and fill it out using Preview, you should be able to Save or Export your changes to a new PDF. PDFs are designed to make documents that cannot be edited, as well as forms that can be edited for specific purposes (the IRS comes to mind). While any Mac or PeeCee user can create a PDF with a variety of third-party solutions, a user must get the professional version of Adobe Acrobat to be able to alter and save their changes to a PDF as well as a slew of other features.

  • .PDF file not downloading with .pdf extension

    Hi there,
    I recently received the following from a user:
    Hi I downloaded the PDF copy of the Good Design plan from the link: http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/en/Design-Council/Files/System-Files/Download/ Tried a couple of times, and the link downloads a file simply called "The" and it is not recognised as a PDF I manually added the suffix.pdf and the file is intact and working but just wanted to let you know. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.16 on Mac
    The original file was called, The_Good_Design_Plan.pdf, and we have renamed it to, thegooddesignplan.pdf - it now works correctly.
    I'm guessing that all .pdf files need to be named without any ascii characters within their file name for them to work properly?
    We have a large number of pdf's that are named as such: 'this_is_a.pdf' - should we remove all instances of '_' to avoid the above problem in the future?
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    We use underscores in file names all the time with no issue.
    Not sure what the issue was. Might have been on the clients end.

  • Annotated PDF file not saved, + "System Error"

    A few issues with the newly updated Adobe Reader app for the iPad (April 10, 2012):
    1- I can mark-up a PDF with the annotation tools (pen, highlighting, underlining, etc) and then hit SAVE.  When I then re-open the PDF, I do not see my comments/mark-ups,
    2- From within the Adobe Reader app -- when I try the "open-in" (to another application), I receive a pop-up message:  "A system error was encountered."

    Luis,
    I think the problem you describe is different. For SGFilipe1022, the issue is that while in Reader, the annotations are not visible after closing and opening the document within Adobe Reader. However, in your case I suspect that what you are seeing is that not all PDF Readers support the viewing of comments and markups. In particular, the previewer in Apple's Mail program for iOS does not render comments. Similarly, most PDF Readers on iOS use the device's built-in rendering to show PDFs. This also does not support viewing of annotations.
    Can you please tell me where you are viewing the PDF after editing it in Reader? This will help me confirm (or disprove) my suspicion.
    Thanks!

  • Adobe pdf files not saving

    Since transfering my program to Win8, I have been unable to get my Adobe pdf documents to save. They just disappear after naming them. How can I fix this?

  • When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

    When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

    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.

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • Why are my deleted emails saving in my 'pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved in my pictures??????

    Why are my deleted emails saving in 'my pictures' as a PDF adobe when they should have been in my deleted email file not saved
    in my pictures??????

    I deleted emails from my windows emails and when I went into my pictures there was all my recently deleted items as pdf adobe files and I cannot right click and delete. But why would my deleted emails be going to my pictures in the first place. So i think it must be in how the adobe program is set up and need to know how to change the settings so my deleted emails are not sent to my pictures.I do not know what other details you would require?

  • PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

    Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
    it always open in browser
    I have already made following changes but didn,t work
    Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
    Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
    Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
    Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
    Installed Adober eader in client machine
    Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
    It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

    It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

    To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you.  The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

  • "Can't open file - not a valid pdf"

    Hi,
    This seems to have been asked before but I can't find an answer!!
    I have a small app that i use for work which essentially just links to pdfs stored on a wordpress site
    All has been working well until recently when android phones can no longer open the files - they get a "can't open file - not a valid pdf file" message
    It seems to happen with many but not all the files. Some examples of problematic ones are:
    http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/transfusionmajorhaemorrhagecompressed. pdf
    http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/aagbi_la_toxicitycompress.pdf
    http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/anaphylaxis-under-anaesthesiaupdated02 14compresresave.pdf
    Oddly, it seems only to be a problem when trying to open directly from the link in the app into adobe reader. If you download the file onto the phone THEN open it in Reader it works fine!
    As I say, this seems to be a recent problem - has been working perfectly up until now.
    I'd really appreciate it if you have any thoughts / suggestions - I don't want to have to ask all the users to install a different PDF reader app!

    Thanks for reporting the issue. We have been able to reproduce it at our end and shall let you know when this gets fixed in one of the future releases.
    Thanks,
