When downloading a pdf file from a link the page displays "done" but with no content displayed

This relates to pdf document downloads from a website link. This has been a recent phenomenon. I have no idea as to the possible source of the problem. I discount an adobe problem. No problem downloading in explorer

  • When I try to download a pdf file from my bank, the downloader bails listing the file as "session.cgi" with no compatibility

    Computer does not recognize the "session.cgi" as and Adobe compatible file, and suggests saving file to disk and opening from there, but I am not allowed that option

    This worked in the past but I can no longer open the file using Adobe Reader or Preview. The issue is not only with documents from my bank. As an example, here is a problem link to a file on the National Library of Medicine website:
    http://dbgap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/aa/wga.cgi?view_pdf&stacc=phs000016.v1.p1
    I'm working on a Mac with OS 10.7.1 and FF 6.0.

  • Adobe 8 - Unexpected Corrupt or incorrect file type warning when viewing a PDF file from the Web

    Hi,
    On downloading a PDF file from my web site using Adobe 8 on the client machine I expect the file to open automatically however I receive encounter the "File Download" dialog. It has the following warning message: "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download."
    This issue did not occur within previously tested versions of Adobe Reader (e.g. Version 5.1).
    On investigating the issue I discovered the factor that results in Adobe 8 failing to open the file automatically is the Content-Type = "application/pdf; Charset=utf-8". However, if I intercept the response and alter the Content-Type to contain only "application/pdf;" the issue on Adobe 8 does not occur.
    I have even tested when the Content-Type contains an empty Charset (i.e. "application/pdf; Charset=") but this issue still occurs. In addition setting the Charset to other encodings (e.g. "ISO-LATIN-7", "iso-8859-1") the issue occurs.
    QUESTION(s):
    1. Why is it necessary for Adobe 8 when opening PDF files from the web to expect no Charset within the Content-Type?
    2. If this was not an issue within previous versions of Adobe surly this is a bug?
    Since I cannot ensure that the Response's Content-Type does not contain a Charset at all please can someone suggest either a work-around or more importantly a solution to the issue?
    Please Note:-
    1. Within Adobe, Edit -> Preferences -> Internet option it's compulsory for our users to have "Display PDF in browser" ticked!
    2. We cannot prevent a Charset from being present within the Content-Type of the response sent to the client, hence this issue.
    Many Thanks in advance,
    Martin.

    Bill,
    This is exactly the same behavior I observed when I rendered a PDF stored in a database through a .NET page. If I chose to save it, it would open fine after the save, but if I chose to open it in the browser without saving it, I would get the error.
    The problem was not with the PDF or Acrobat. It was with the way I was delivering the PDF. Putting the following code before my binarywrite fixed the issue completely:
    Response.ClearHeaders()
    Response.ClearContent()
    Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + saveFilename)
    where saveFileName is the name you want to give the PDF.
    You can use 'inline' instead of 'attachment' above if you just want the PDF to open (no option to save first). You can also use 'pdf' instead of 'octet-stream' (not sure the difference).
    The trouble seems to be that .NET puts some info in the header and/or content by default prior to anything your code says to write. If you don't clear this, IE has an issue with it. Other browsers seem to ignore it.
    Bottomline is that this is an issue the website programmer needs to fix and is not something the user can fix by changing some setting(s).
    I hope this helps.

  • When downloading a pdf file I get a message that I must download Adobe Reader. When I do that I am told that it is already installed. Why can't I use it if it's already installed. I-Mac OsX 9.3

    g -
    I was able to fix the problem with some help from Apple. Whenever I last downloaded Reader, I apparently didn’t complete the process by accepting the Reader contract. I was able to go right to that point in the process and complete the installation. The messages that I needed Reader but it was already installed were quite confusing. It would have been nice if the Adobe installation process that I was re-trying this morning had been able to detect a partial installation. The Troubleshooting page almost had me doing some ridiculous things that wouldn’t have helped.

  • How to download a .pdf file from a JavaMail application?

    hi to all,
    iam unable to download a .pdf file from a mailserver using
    my javamail application.i have downloaded all kind of files except .pdf.
    my code snipnet:
    public static void dumpPart(Part p) throws Exception {
    //     if (p instanceof Message)          dumpEnvelope((Message)p);
              System.out.println("CONTENT-TYPE: " + p.getContentType());
              Object o = p.getContent();
              if (o instanceof String) {
                   System.out.println("This is a String");
                   System.out.println((String)o);
                   } else if (o instanceof Multipart) {
                        System.out.println("This is a Multipart");
                        Multipart mp = (Multipart)o;
                        int count = mp.getCount();
    System.out.println("****************************************");
    System.out.println("count" + count);
    System.out.println("****************************************");
                        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++){
                             System.out.println("CONTENT-TYPE: " + p.getContentType());
                             dumpPart(mp.getBodyPart(i));
                        } else if (o instanceof InputStream) {
                             System.out.println("This is just an input stream");
                             InputStream is = (InputStream)o;
                             String filename=System.currentTimeMillis()+".exe     ";
                             FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(filename);
                             int c;
                             while ((c = is.read()) != -1)
                                  //System.out.write(c);
                                  fos.write((char)c);
    }//dumpPart
    what's wrong with this code?

    fos.write((char)c);Converting the byte to a char is unnecessary and probably harmful. Just do this: fos.write(c);

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    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 launch Safari and test.
    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.

  • When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

    Hi,
    when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
    This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
    All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
    Anybody?
    Thanks a lot!
    Wouter

    I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
    I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

  • When wanting to download a PDF file from a site, when cliicking on the link, Firefox 3.6.13 goes to a blank page. Previous versions worked perfectly. How do I fix this please?

    Since no window shows up asking where to download, etc as happens in other browsers (Opera) and in previous versions of Firefox, no able to click on a web site link to download a PDF file. Just goes to a blank page.

    Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.

  • Downloading a pdf file from javascript() window does not work

    PDF download/view works fine where the link points to actual pdf file. But I have problem downloading/viewing pdf files that are loaded using javascript(), e.g. bank statements and such. When I click a link FF downloads a file which either has no extension or has a different one (not .pdf).
    Later I realized that I can manually rename the downloaded file to insert .pdf extension and open it in reader.
    How can I solve this? I don't have this problem when using IE or Chrome.
    Thanks

    Could you try a new profile?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    If it still happens with a new and clean profile then the most likely cause is that you have security software that is blocking this JavaScript.
