Can't download/view "some" pdf files.

I once had Adobe Reader which caused some problems. I moved it to trash. I also trashed the Adobe Reader Internet Plug-in in the Library.  I still can't open some pdf files (e.g., bank monthly statements).  A window opens showing the statement (which should be pdf), but when I try to save: File>Save, I get a window that opens that includes: "Export As: Statement.html" and "Format: Page Source."  The Format selection feature opens a pulldown menu that allows "Web Archeive" as the only other choice.
My Library Plug-ins still show :
Is there anything else here that I need to delete?  How is it that I can still download some pdf files, view them, and save them?  This problem is happening on the monthly statements for a couple of financial institutions and not others!

This is so strange.  I had also posted the same issues to my financial institutions and one of them just responded:
". . . this issue began with an update for Preview from Apple.  We have discovered a work-around.  If you Ctrl-click on the statement you would like to open (ex. January 2012), and choose "Open Link in New Window", it should open the way you are used to."
This worked!  After Ctrl-clicking the window, it opens another window that now allows saving or printing the file as pdf!  I can't believe Apple is leaving these issues hanging there.

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

  • Can't download or print pdf files

    All of a sudden I can't download or print pdf files from Safari.  When I try to download the file it says it can't export and then gives file name. I tried changing the file name with the same result.  When I try to print, I just get a single blank page.  I have reinstalled Safari.  I thought it might be a problem with Adobe reader, but that works outside of Safari  I did just install reader 10.1.3 and that is when I noticed the problem, but I reinstalled 10.1.1 and still have the same problem.  Please help!!
    Thanks
    Scott

    Thank You !!!  Even I had the same problem... I used Folx downloader evry time to download the PDF file and open it using preview . Thanks You So much DN Scott & Scorbett.

  • Cannot print or view some pdf files

    Hi there,
    Have a recent issue of not being able to open or print some pdf files. These file can be viewed on-line at their source with Safari however cannot be printed (printer display shows the page is blank). When I save them on desktop and try to re-print, there is an error message appearing on the screen stating the file is damaged and could not be repaired. Is there any solution out there to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    Open Adobe Acrobat
    Click on Edit, click on Preferences on the drop down menu,
    Click on Internet under Categories
    Under Web Browser Options, remove the check from the box beside Display PDF in browser
    Click on OK
    Close Adobe Acrobat and go back to open the .pdf file trying to be viewed.

  • How can I disable viewing of PDF-files in browser in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi everyone
    After I have upgraded to Adobe Reader XI, I not longer can find the checkbox under settings>Internet, where I can disable that Adobe Reader XI viewing PDF-files in my browser.
    If I instead press on the button, I can see in the dialog box Adobe refers to an article there give me instruction to turn off the viewing of PDF-files via my browser settings. When I follow these instructions, I can see that the plug-in to Adobe is disabled when I not viewing PDF-files in my browser, and enabled when I viewing PDF-files in my browser.
    Therefore:
    1. Why has Adobe removed the checkbox where I can disable viewing of PDF-files in my browser?
    2. How can I now disable and enable viewing of PDF in my browser?
    My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.
    Very thanks.
    Regards,
    Boholdt

    Hi again
    I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should
    disable in Internet Explorer 8.
    If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called
    PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see
    the plugin.
    Another method is between the guide for accessibility
    (edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the
    checkbox.
    Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.
    For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to
    find the same assistant?
    Very thanks.
    Regards
    Boholdt

  • Help~how can I download and upload pdf file in simple solution

    I am new doing Portal.
    I want to create a page which can provide download pdf file function and other page which can provide upload pfg file function.
    I created a link to download file, and implemented uploading files by access the file directory.
    Can this solution work in Portal?
    I've tried, but I couldn't access file directory through web_dav.
    Anyone can give me some suggestion?

    You can only install apps (programs) via the App Store app on your iPad, or by downloading them via iTunes store on your computer and then syncing them to your  iPad - you can't download and install programs from the internet via a browser, they are not compatible with the iPad.

  • Why can't I open some Pdf files with Acrobat Beta?

    I am using Acrobat.com Beta,and I don't have too many problems with converting to Pdf files, but opening some files that are already Pdf is does not work.I am told to download them ,and afterwards Itry to open them without success.Is there an answer out there?

    I'm sorry you're having trouble.Special PDF files such as PDF portfolios or secured PDF files or password protected source files cannot be previewed on Acrobat.com.
    Please note that not being able to preview a file should not interfere with the successful viewing of the file once downloaded.
    Are you able to open and view PDFs on your desktop? What happens if you try to download the file from Acrobat.com in a different browser?

  • I am not able to view some PDF files in Safari

    When I try to view a link to a PDF file using Safari in Mavericks I am told to open Adobe Acrobat.  I do not have that and do not want to buy it.  If I use Firefox I can view the PDF.
    Here is an example of the message I get from Safari:

    You need to launch the Adobe Reader app from your Applications folder and accept the license agreement.
    The message is generic and refers to Acrobat or Reader as "Acrobat".
    You don't see that with Firefox because it has its own PDFJSViewer built in.

  • How do you download and open PDF files that come in the email?

    I can NOT download or open PDF files. It prompts me to open in IBooks and then it's not there. I am so frustrated. PLEASE HELP!

    Touch the attachement once to download it.  Then touch it a second time, after it is downloaded ( watch the attachment icon) to open it in quick view. if you want to do something more than just view it, and if you want to save it,  Touch and hold the downloaded attachment to get the 'open in' pop up, and any app that supports PDFs, like I books, or any of the other PDF ready apps.
    If it is not downloaded yet, it will not be in I books.

  • Can't open some PDF files

    These are probably very basic questions but here they go. I am having some trouble opening some PDF files from my school's website. I can download them just fine but when I try to open them a window pops up saying the file could not be open because there was an error.
    The tricky thing is I was able to download and open PDF files from other sources (mainly email).
    Because of that I went into Adobe's website and dowloaded and installed both Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader over the copies that I already had on my computer. Is that bad? Does the computer just write the new copy over the previous one I had without a problem or does it now have duplicated files in the program's folder that could lead to future malfunctioning?
    Even tough I haven't noticed any changes in performance yet could that be concern for future problems (crashing, computer slowing down)? Should I reformat the HD to factory settings and start from scratch since I do not have almost any info/ files in the computer yet? Or am I better off  leaving the computer as it is and not messing with trying to reformat.
    When a
    The other question I have is can there be PDF files that open only in Windows OS and PDF files that would work on both?
    Thanks in advance

    Probably you're opening pdfs using Preview. Preview is very good and it'll open almost any pdf but not 100% of them, for that you must use Acrobat Reader.
    What you did was fine, just keep using the computer.

  • Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

    Scroll bar does not appear in some PDF files. How can I enable it?

    Scroll bars are supposed to appear when needed.
    For example, scroll bars will appear when you zoom in on a page.
    FAQ: How to zoom in/out on a page
    Windows 8 automatically hides scroll bars after a few seconds of inactivity.  Scroll bars will reappear when you touch the screen and move your finger (on a Touch-enabled device) or move your mouse.
    Additionally, page navigation depends on the view mode (Single Page vs. Continuous Page).
    In the Single Page mode, you can swipe left/right (horizontally) or click the left/right arrow button with your mouse to go to the previous/next page.
    In the Continuous Page mode, you can swipe or scroll up/down (vertically) to go to the previous/next page.

  • How can I store and view a pdf file ?

    I have an iphone 3GS 32Gb and want to store a pdf file on my phone so that I can view it later.
    Email is the only way I have been able to view my pdf file, but I dont really want to do it this way.
    On previous phones I could save a file on the phones memory card and then open the file in the necessary app.
    This is something I know the iphone doesnt do, but I was wondering if there is a way around it or an app.

    I did find one app (I cant remember the name, thought it was Air Share) and it said Apple had told them to change the app so that you cant transfer files over USB, only Wi-Fi.
    I think that was [FileApp|http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/fileapp-previously-fileaid-document/id2 97804694?mt=8], (previously File Aid).
