Adding downloadable PDFs to iWeb website

How do I add multi-page PDFs to an iWeb website such that the PDFs can be downloaded from the website?
Cheers
Neil

Neil ~ PDF viewers offer a download button and other features such as full-screen mode... Start a free web-based blog at Posterous:
http://posterous.com/faq
Then simply email your PDFs to your Posterous blog and they'll be automatically posted to Scribd and embedded into your Posterous blog — here's an example:
http://dont-panic.posterous.com/crash-report-example
Then, in iWeb, set up various text or image hyperlinks to the Posterous blog entries containing your PDFs. By the way, Scribd allows PDFs to be embedded directly into your iWeb site, but you may find it easier to use Posterous.

No longer able to download pdf files from websites.

I am running Firefox 11.0 & Aurora on a Mac with OS X 10.6.8.
I used to be able to download pdf files, such as my bank staements, direct from websites with no problem on either browser.
Recently, when clicking on the link, the dialog box asking whether I want to save it or open it no longer appears and nothing else happens. Can't download. My wife has the same problem with a new Mac with OS x 10.7 Lion.
I am also running an older version of Firefox 3.6.28 on a Mac with PPC processor & OS X 10.5.8. With this I have no problems downloading the pdf files I want.
I have compared the Firefox preferences between the two machines and made them the same. Also found the ''Unable to download or save files'' link on Firefox Help and I have Reset the browser.download configs as it suggested. And nothing has changed.
What to do? Anybody out there can help me? Thanks in advance.

Okay, I think I fixed it by going to Add-ons Manager and disabling Adobe Acrobat NPAPI plug-in, version 10.1.3. Now I'm back to downloading PDFs, then opening or saving.

HELP111 Unable to download PDF files from website

I can download PDF files from my emails but I can not download (or open I guess you might call it)PDF files from a website. Can anyone help? I have reader 9 with vista home and use norton 360.
Thanks,
Greg

I had vers 8 and upgraded to 9 without removing the previous version. When I click on the PDF icon to open the document the little window comes, the circle goes round and round but the file never downloads.
Help!!!

Download pdf-files from websites is disabled!???

Some websites provide additional information by making the user download a PDF-file. For some reason (can't really say since when), whenever I need to download a PDF, either there's a blank location-address or Firefox just stops whenever the PDF-link has been found, without crashing though.
I'd be happy to know how to resolve this problem.

Far as I know the problem isn't on Apple's end. I'm download PDF files with no problem. But I've experienced what you are in the past and I think you were on the right track when you suspected Adobe. In the main Library folder (not the one in your personal directory) there's a folder called Internet Plugins. Look inside for a file called AdobePDFViewer and delete it. If I remember properly, you force Adobe Reader to install a new one by just starting Reader and it will ask if you want to install the PDF reader. Or, you might want to look at this plugin which, in my opinion, beats Adobe's plugin hands down.

Unable to download pdf files from websites

For a month now I have been unable to dowload PDF Files from websites.
I have un-installed Adobe Software & re-installed hoping this would solve
this on going problem. But I am afraid it has not this problem seems to
have accured since the latest up date of Sarfari I trust Apple are coming up with
some sort of solution to this current problem ??

I can't download PDF's from website that uses Adobe Reader on my Windows 8 phone?

For work I need to be able to download PDF's from a particular website. It utilizes the Adobe Reader but when I try to download a PDF, it doesn't do anything. I tried to download the "Adobe Reader" from the website but it says that I do not hav the system requirements to do so. This problem started after they did the Adobe update. I haven't been able to download these PDS's since then. I need to be able to do this for work.... Any suggestions? or when will this issue be fixed? Thank you!!!

I have the same problem. Or similar. A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work). Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use. I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files. Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway, as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can.
Any other suggestions? i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
Thanks

I have installed latest update and checked all preferences are correct in my MAC but still cannot download PDFs from some websites

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?

Adding download content on iweb?

Hi I just uploaded a zip file to my server which contains music compressed into a zip..is there a way for me to make that downloadable to my visitors and if so can i track how many downloads have taken place?

iWeb allows you to "link to file" but can't give statistics other than page "hits".
Make the linked file open in its own Web page and add the http://statcounter.com page code.

PDF's from websites will not download. I get a grey screen.

How can I get my Macbook Pro to download PDFS from a website?
It seems to think about it but once complete I get a grey screen.
It worked in the past.
I have adobe .
I have re-downloaded it.

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.

Downloading PDF from website

Some of our clients cannot download PDFs off our website. They get an error message that says file is not available. However I cannot duplicate this issue so I can't figure out why it won't work for them

Hi AEIG,
May I know the web browser that the users are using? Can you please ask the user to use different web browser and then check the issue.

"first open Acrobat and accept the End User Agreement License" with black window? Cannot open downloaded PDFs

I have CS5 installed and operating in my MacBook Pro since 2012.
Several months ago, I ran not an issue where by, when trying to download PDFs from any website, I get the following back screen and message"
"Before proceeding, you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement"
The screen gives me no options to do this and, regardless of what I do, the same window with the same message opens…….
Does anyone know how to address this? FYI. I can use Acrobat Pro 9 to assemble and create PDFs, this is the ONLY problem that I am dealing with.
Thanks so much!
Steve

Hello Rave!
Thanks for remembering me!
No, I was never able to get this to work.
What I found, however, is that I can view the pdfs normally if I use Firefox instead on my default, Safari…….not much of a fix BUT at least I can access the pdfs now……..I just don't understand why this seems to happen in Safari only………Safari is updated to the latest version via Software Update in Mac OS 10.7.5….
Thanks again!
Steve
