Automatically opening pdf's

Until recently any pdf's would open with Acrobat and also be saved to the desktop. Now they are saved to the desktop but not opened automatically.
I use Firefox and Adobe Acrobat (CS3 version).
Does anyone know how to reset so that they both open automatically and are saved to the desktop?
Thanks

FireFox has the option in Preferences->Applications to save or open a PDF.
If you choose Open, you can then choose the app to open it with.
My guess is that your option has changed simply to "Save File"

I like the feature of the PDF being opened on the new tab on firefox browser's windows. But the newer version (3.6 or 4.0) will automatically open PDF in a pop up adobe apps. How do I keep the PDF open on the new tab as before like the 3.5 ver.? I want the PDF opened in the new tab rather than in the Adobe's app's pop up window. Could you help?

Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents in the pages app?

Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents from the internet into the pages app?

No - and you can't open pdf files in the Pages app on the iPad anyway as far as I know. You can export a Pages file as a pdf but you can't open them in Pages.

Automatically open pdf with Preview

I noticed that after upgrading to 10.5, pdf do not automatically open with Preview. I know that in 10.4, I was able to change this in Safari, but this option seems to have vanished in 10.5. Any help?

Right click to "download" (save) the PDF files to your machine and then use Preview as the "Open With" app.

How can I get Safari 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

Safari 5.1.2 always opens pdf files on web pages as a single frame and thus it will not print properly. How can I get Safari to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader 10.1.1?

Carolyn,
Thanks for sending your suggestion on how to solve my problem. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I trashed the file, quit and relaunched Safari, but the problem remained the same. Although it did not work, I do appreciate that you took the time to try to help me.
Thanks.

Safari does not automatically open pdf files.

After updating Acrobat to 7.0.5, Safar no longer auromattically opens pdf files, when I click to open a pdf on the web. Every time it asks me which application do I want to use. When I select 7.0.5 it works fine. When I open a pdf from a the finder it opens the proper version and Get Info shows the proper association.
I cannot find how to fix the association in Safari.
Thanks for you suggestions.

Hi, Jim. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. Quit Safari if it is open.
2. In Acrobat, select Help > Detect and Repair.
3. Select or deselect the options in the resulting window, as desired, assuring that<pre>__ Adobe PDF Viewer
View and edit Adobe PDF within Safari</pre>is selected.
4. Click Continue.
5. Type your Admin Password when prompted, click OK.
6. You should get a message indicating that "missing components were repaired."
7. Launch Safari and open a PDF on the Web to see if it's fixed.
FYI: Questions regarding Safari should be posted to the Safari Discussion.
Good luck!

How to make Safari automatically open PDFs in Preview?

Well, the subject says it all:
I would like Safari to download PDFs when i click on them and then open them automatically in Preview.
I don't want any plugins nor any Acrobat.
Does anyone have any idea?
(I have tried acrobat and the schubert-it plugin, neither of them has really satisfied me, so i have removed both of them.)
I have, of course, looked in this forum for any hints, but, although there seems to be a lot of posts about the "safari & PDF" topic, i didn't find anything solving my question.
Any suggestions or hints will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Not sure why you prefer to open the PDF outside of
Safari?
i think it's more convenient:
Acrobat is too slow; and when viewing PDFs inside Safari i don't have all the nice keyboard shortcuts for zooming, flipping pages, copying stuff from the PDF is not as smooth, etc. It's just the overall look-and-feel that's much nicer in Preview, IMHO.
Anyway, I guess you're saying Preview does not open
after the PDF download.
Yes, that's what i meant.
Have you tried accessing the
info panel for one of the PDF files and changing the
"open with" selection to "Preview" - then, "change
all"?
Now i am not quite sure what you mean.
In Finder, when i double-click a PDF it opens fine in Preview.
Also, in the info panel, Preview is set for the "open with" for all and any PDF.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Can Preview be set to automatically open PDF docs?

I am often converting/printing word docs into PDF docs in iMac Lion. I would like to set so converted PDF docs would open automatically in Preview.
Is it possible to set so? If then how?

Thanks but I already have Preview as default. It doesn't open freshly converted pdf-s automatically. I have to go to Finder and open them from there. I would like to skip that step and make Preview open freshly converted PDF doc automatically as soon as conversion is completed and document is created in Finder.

Firefox used to automatically open pdf's when I downloaded them, but now it doesn't. Can I reset it to open pdf's automatically?

Not sure what to add except that it's more convenient for pdf's to open automatically when I download them, but I don't know how to make that happen.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think it started when I switched my downloads to a different folder (on my desktop), but it didn't get fixed when I switched back to the download folder.

Stop automatically opening pdf in ipad

When I look at my emails on my iPad some pdf attachments are already open on the page. Some pdf's I like to open in iBooks so a copy is kept. How can I do that when the pdf is opening and showing within the email?

Having a similar issue, however the problem is the pdf displays as an image in mail and cannot be opened, ie there is no longer an option to open using a pdf reader. if the pdf file is saved to pictures it is likewise corrupt and unable to open.This issue arose sometime recently following an update but not sure which...

Adobe Reader 9 won't automatically open PDF documents

Help please! When I double-click a PDF file, the get a message saying "Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view this file. Would you like to install Acrobat Reader now?" The problem is, I already have Reader 9 installed. If I check the "yes" box, the system attempts to install Acrobat Reader 7.0. When it determines that Reader 9 is already installed it terminates. The only way I can view a PDF file is to first open Acrobat Reader 9 and then open the file. This is maddening! What do I do to fix this problem?

Thanks for trying to help but this did not work for me. Im running windows vista with aol internet. And every time I go to a pdf file it downloads it to my computer and then I can open the file. It will not open on a web page it downloads it. I have tried everything nothing works. I'm gladd you where able to figure it out. I guess I will have to wait and see if anyone else can figure my problem out. Thanks for the info though.

I am having issues opening PDF files in safari, I am running OSX 10.5.6

When I attempt to open any PDf files it will either go to choose viewer to open this type file? (None available in selections?) Or just goes to a black screen where you can only cancel to get out of it.
I was told that OSX automatically opens PDFs in Safari etc. If I right click the file / link and save linked files to download then I can open them. Is there anyway to have safari open them with the proper app automatically?
Thank you for all replies.
Dan

OK, now we're on the same page. I didn't realize it but I can't open pdfs either. I'm on a brand, new iMac and pdfs don't work for me anymore. It also doesn't work in Firefox. I'll need to do some checking for both of us.
What does work is when the cog wheel stops rotating you can save the pdf via the File->Save As menu in Safari.

Anyone know why I am unable to open PDF

anyone know why I am unable to down load pdf

A little more information would help...how are you trying to down load? Via email, Safari, or something else?
After downloading, browsers like Safari and Firefox should automatically open pdf files. Are you trying to use something else like a word processor to open the file?

Open PDF document automatically after executing

Hi,
I am converting my smartform output to PDF within the program and now i donot want to show any dialog box to the user to save the pdf document on the harddisk. when the user calls this form from a SAP Standard transaction using "issue ouput to screen" option, the pdf document should directly open up on the screen immediately.
Can anyone let me know how to code this?

Sorry for a very late reply. I was trying to see how i can use this method. But this method seems like doesn't work in the way i explained above.
I do not want the user to see any SAVE or OPEN file dialog box. The program should automatically open the document on the screen. If possible, without saving the document anywhere on the system. And if this is not possible (i.e., opening the document without saving) atleast it should automatically detect the temp directory on the user's system and then store it there.
If possible, could you please suggest to which parameters i need to pass the values?
Please let me know.
