Reader does not link to a web page with a tilde in the url

We have a PDF with a link that includes a tilde character (~) in the url link. When we open the PDF in Adobe Reader X (Mac or Windows) and click on the link in the PDF, it goes into the web browser and does not find the web site. If we use Acrobat Pro 9 or X, clicking on the link will navigate to the web page correctly. Basically what I see is the Tilde character is mapped to %257E instead of staying a Tilde (~).
Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks for your response.

  • Why won't Firefox open a web page with an apostrophe in the URL?

    It has been more than a year since I asked the same question and the problem still exists. I can open these URLs in Safari and Chrome, but I prefer Firefox. Please see this discussion from May 2013.

  • Adobe Reader does not print more than 5 pages Toshiba E-Studio 232 in Windows 7

    Adobe Reader does not print more than 5 pages Toshiba E-Studio 232 in Windows 7.
    I contacted Microsoft representatives said the problem is the Acrobat Reader once all other applications print without problems.
    Please help me!

    We have the same problem with our TOSHIBA e-STUDIO6540C. We've tried different versions of adobe reader, even acrobat and many times it will only print some pages of any given document. Did you find a solution? To me it sounds like a toshiba issue but just wondering.

  • When I CLICK on a link on a web page, firefox dos lot load the page in a new window. All other browsers load the page under the link. I do not have "Block poups enabled".

    When I navigate to a web page that has a link, such as the link to a data sheet and click the link (usually an insert page), firefox does nothing.

    Does the new window have a media player in it or use the Flash plugin for any other purposes? If so, it could be the protected mode bug described in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash]. There are some workarounds listed there.
    Let us know whether that helps.

  • Firefox does not see my updated web page, but can see it using IE. Why?

    My web site is designed on Frontpage. I updated information of several pages. One page in particular does not show the updated information. http://www.dianedrain.com/RealProperty/TrusteeSalesForeclosures/TRUSTEEpendingTrusteeSales.htm
    Yet, IE does show the page with the updates. Why?

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • Firefox does not print properly a web page having a SWF on it

    I have been desperately looking everywhere on the
    web to solve this issue and this is actually the first time I ask a
    question in a forum, because I can always find my answers by
    Googling them.
    This is fairly easy to explain, but this is a really annoying
    issue.
    I got the latest version of Firefox and the latest Flash
    Player version. If I print out web pages having SWFs on them, they
    do not show either on the print preview, then on the print out
    itself. How could this happen? Using Microsoft Internet Explorer, I
    have no problem whatsoever to have everything printed out in the
    same context.
    Is there actually a way to bypass that Firefox problem?
    Thanks a lot,
    Marc-André Lapierre

    Does anyone know if this issue is being addressed by Adobe?
    We have a Flash vector drawing app, utilizing XML, which was developed in '06. It works incredibly well, even though it was developed in AS2. However, we need the resulting images to be able to print within the page. It works fine for IE, but no dice for Safari and Firefox.
    One work-around we've built in (essentially creating a rasterized image) slows down our system and has been causing our subscription rates to drop.
    We are now looking at rebuilding this thing, but it is going to be expensive, time consuming and frustrating in order to deal with only a small segment of our users.
    Would love to hear if Adobe is going to address this issue - has anyone heard anything or know of another fix out there?
    thanks,
    brian.

  • Firefox does not print in full web pages. It prints at best the left half of the page. This has only happened recently. It is not my printer as I get full page printing from from Internet explorer and other applications. Help!

    Firefox has started printibg only the left side of a web page . I have tried adjusting the settings without any success in fact it made the print area even smaller. I have adjusted all the settings on the print menu but cannot overcome this. How can I return to printing full web pages?

    Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

  • Event invitations not published to .mac web page with rest of calendar

    I've published a calendar to the .mac web server successfully, and the web page for the named calendar shows up fine in browsers at the appropriate URL.
    However, when I receive an invitation from somebody else, and accept it, and put it into that (published) calendar, that event does NOT get published to the web page. Any idea why?
    Example
    - Joe uses Google Calendar to invite me to a meeting
    - Google calendar sends me a .ics file in email
    - I open the .ics file (click in Apple Mail, which launches iCal)
    - I view the invitation in iCal; then change the status to "Accepted" (from Invited), and change the Calendar for this event to the Calendar I've published on .mac
    - (iCal properly notifies Joe via a reply .ics via email that I've accepted)
    - iCal is properly updating my schedule on .mac for all other events besides this meeting invitation; but the meeting invitation does not get pushed to the .mac web page for my calendar
    Item of note: In this use case, I am NOT the event Organizer; somebody else is. Is this why iCal doesn't do it? Or is there something I'm not setting correctly in iCal? Or...?
    This renders .mac-web-published calendars effectively useless, since a good share of my calendar is made up of people who email me .ics invitations, and (for various reasons) the person who manages my schedule has to use the .mac web UI for my calendar to know when she can dish out my time. (She doesn't actually put things in my schedule; just allots time.)

  • Web page with javascript login shows the login in IE8 but not Firefox 9

    The web page http://epgservices.sky.com/nevermiss/ loads properly in Internet Explorer 8 and shows login details but these don't show when loaded in Firefox 9.0.1
    The login is generated by Javascript as far as I can see. Java is enabled and is not being blocked by AdBlock Plus because I've turned it off to see if it made any difference but the login for this website does not show

    Hi cor-el,
    Thank you for your reply. Earlier in my attempts to solve this problem and before contacting Firefox Help, I did start Firefox in Safe Mode after clearing the cache and the cookies from sky.com but this made no difference. The login was still not showing.
    Today after trying the website on my laptop running Firefox 9.0.1 and finding the login was loading correctly I decided to uninstall Firefox but keeping my original extensions etc., and re-install Firefox from a freshly downloaded install file. It is now displaying the login correctly on that web page. I think it may have been caused by lefy-overs from previous upgrades of Firefox and the re-install cured the problem. It's amazing what problems a fresh install will solve!
    Thank you for your help

  • Safari Does Not Allow Access to Web Sites With Wildcard X.509 Certificates

    I'm really getting irritated with the Safari browser in OSX Mavericks.  One of the more irritating features involves the inability to access web sites that use improperly constructed wildcard X509 certificates.  By improperly constructed, I mean that the X.509 certificate does not contain the host name of the system being accessed in the Subject Alternate Name list.
    Earlier versions of Safari would, at least, allow me to examine the X.509 certificate and determine whether I wanted to proceed with the connection.  The current version of Safari doesn't provide that option.  It simply displays a screen stating that it can't establish a secure connection to the web site.  If you actually have a need to access the web site, you need to use a web browser like Firefox.
    What's really irritating about this is that Safari had improved to the point where it was reliable enough to be used as the default browser.
    Is there a Safari.plist setting that will allow me to change the behavior of Safari when it encounters an improperly constructed X.509 certificate and provide me the opportunity to examine the certificate to decide whether to proceed or not?

  • The font on my browser (not web pages but where I type the URL, my bookmarks, etc.) was set to something fancy by my predecessor and I would like to change it back to something normal. Help!

    The tabs for my bookmarks, the url bar, the loading messages.. all are in this fancy script and it's impossible to read quickly.

    Another possibility is they added some code to a file called userChrome.css to change the fonts.
    First you need to locate the profile folder, for details of how to find it see the [[profiles]] article. Once you have opened the profile folder you can close Firefox. Inside the profile folder there should be a sub folder called chrome, open that folder.
    If there is a file inside there called userChrome.css, rename it to userChrome.css.old, now restart Firefox to see if the fonts are back to the default fonts.

  • On a web page with an editable table, the delete row function no longer works (the little circle with X button)

    When you try to delete a row in an editable table using the built-in functions, it no longer works. We use this function regularly and just noticed this problem today. The "create row above" and "create row below" functions work, just not the delete. The delete column button does work however, so it's a bit baffling why this one function does not work. (The pages are located on our internal server so are not publicly accessible but the functionality is built into firefox.)

    Same problem here. I found out that when you have a table with only 1 row, it works fine, but when you have multiple rows, it doesn't work on any row.
    Micmark, do you have that too?
    P.S. I also tried this outside our CMS, by using Firebug to add a contenteditable="true" on a DIV in a normal font-end template, and that has the same problem.

  • Bookmark a page with username/password in the URL

    I can add username/password for HTTP authentication directly to the URL (e.g. http://user:[email protected]/ ) and this works fine with the browser on Firefox OS 1.3 (on a ZTE Open C). However, when bookmarking that page, the bookmark doesn't include the username/password any more and so I'll have to manually enter the username/password when visiting that site again (after clearing private data) - and unfortunately there is no password manager for Firefox OS yet...
    Another way to add a bookmark appears to be via a small Javascript using the "save-bookmark", however that appears to only give me the option to add the bookmark to the Home Screen (and I am not sure if it will keep the username/password information in the bookmarked URL).
    Is there any other way to add a bookmark to the browser and keep the username/password information in the URL?

    Here is an example:
    http://user1:[email protected]/auth-basic/
    Works fine if you enter that URL in the URL bar. But when bookmarking it, it only gets bookmarked as http://test.webdav.org/auth-basic/ and so you will have to enter username and password again (after clearing cookies and session data) when opening from bookmarks.

  • Text does not display correctly on web page

    Much more often than I like, I will find what seem like randomly selected 'foreign' characters replacing punctuation marks (I think) that should be there on web sites. The following text is an example-
    "This download is provided “as is” and has no warranty. If you are not satisfied with "
    I have wondered if it was a result of using a display font that didn't include whatever character was supposed to be there or if it was because I specified the wrong default encoding, but nothing I've specified in the Options makes any difference.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Firefox 2.0 was first installed and every version since

    This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
    Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.
    Try this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
    <code>data:text/html,&lt;font face="Helvetica" size="25"&gt;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica Neue" size="25"&gt;abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&lt;/font&gt;
