  • Can't save pdf from a web site - HELP!

    I can't seem to save pdf files from a brokerage account.  I have Reader 9, and one one PC, there is no "save icon" on the tool bar, and no "wording tool bar" -ie, no headong of:  File - Edit - View, etc.  On the other , there is no edit portion of the tool bar.
    On the one PC that displays the picture of the floppy disc - the "save icon"-  when I click on it, nothing happens.  I think i have a problem with the security settings, but can't figure it out.  the financial advisor company can save it just fine, so i think the problem is in my PCs.
    There is a security section that says the contents of the pdf can be copied, butdoesn't work  not in the file copy mode.  (These are not "fill out the form" pdfs, just regular files posted to a web site to allow viewing, downloading, printing, etc.  i could print, but want to save electronically instead.
    Any ideas?

    I have also had this problem with some different web sites - you mention that possibly  it is a security issue so I added the web site I was having this problem with to my "Trusted Sites" list and re-tried saving the PDF and it worked!  Don't know if this will solve your problem, but it did work for me (still don't understand why some sites work and others require an entry in the "Trusted Sites" list.   I'm running Windows 7 (32 bit) and my Adobe version is 9.4.2 and I'm using Internet Explorer 8.  Hope this solution works for you.

  • Cannot print .pdf from web browser, being prompted to save

    We have Adobe Reader 9 installed
    It is being run on a Vista OS
    User is able to open a pdf file and print to the printer without any problems.
    The problem occurs when the pdf is opened in a browser window.
    When you select the print button and select to print the document, rather than printing as would be the norm, it defaults to saving to a location.
    You can save it, then open what was saved in Reader and print it.
    What changes need to be made in order for it to print from the browser rather than try to save?

    Hi ronquaedvlieg,
    What is the current version of Reader installed on your machine?
    Have you tried to install the latest version, also have you tried to check latest updated driver for your printer.
    What is the problem you are facing while trying to print using Reader, are you getting any error. Attach screen shot of the error if any.
    Also i moving this discussion under Reader forums.
    Regards,
    Ajlan Huda.

  • Can't save PDFs from Safari or Firefox after latest (10.1.3) update

    I just installed the latest update, and now when I open a PDF in Safari, I can't save it to my computer. I get a message saying "The document XXX.pdf could not be exported as XXX." When I try to do it from Firefox, the PDF won't even open. I tried deleting the plugins and reinstalling Reader and that didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi mccradks1,
    Regarding firefox, update it to version 10.0 or later and use it in 32-bit mode only.
    To save pdf's in safari, please try using the save button in toolbar and see if it works.
    Toolbar is present in two different forms:
    1.
    2. This toolbar appears when you hover the mouse at bottom of pdf screen.
    Thanks,
    Nikhil

  • Why can't I save pdfs from web anymore?

    I noticed this recently, it didn't dawn on me at first, thought it was a particular web security, but even common sites I save from are no longer letting me.  There is no save icon, no menu, nothing. I am using Adobe 9 reader, with Firefox browser and Win XP. I can recall a fairly recent update from Adobe, it may be since then. Can anyone help?

    Hi and thanks for interest.
    Can't find a way to reply via the forum (must be me) so I hope this is successful to answer both suggestions:
    I had another look at the Firefox menu, and saw (maybe overlooked) the option of "save PAGE as". Decided to try that and it saves the pdf file (not just the page). I knew right-clicking had not worked, but tested all options again. No idea why or what changed, as used to have a save option on left or have the floating menu (rt click?). Anyhow - cracked it now - thankyou!

  • Can't save PDF from Internet Explorer embedded Adobe Reader

    One of our clients use an application to digitally distribute and
    approve incoming invoices.  The scanned invoices (PDF's) are
    visualised in the webbased application by using the embedded Adober Reader 9.0 in Internet Explorer 8.0.
    While there is no problem printing PDF's, on some pc's it is impossible to save a PDF.  When you click on the save icon, nothing happens.
    This issue has been resolved on some pc's by reinstalling Adobe Reader, but not on others.
    Does anyone know what causes this problem and how it can be resolved?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Guys,
    I have Win 7 64bit as well, and I have the same problem.
    A pain when you're doing research and opening lots of browser windows
    with PDFs in em.
    What I've found is that this is an Internet explorer issue.
    Everything works perfectly fine in Firefox.
    You can save, print, the works, with no problems.
    Looks like Microsoft have to do something with IE.

  • Can't download .pdfs from web - Standard

    Have standard 7.0 and it worked fine for years but recently it will not download pdf files from the web.  Locks up IE and Mozilla when I try.  Opens pdf's fine from local drive just a problem with the web downloads.  Removed and reloaded Acrobat 7.0.  No change.  Downloaded ActiveX control - no change.  Any ideas out there????

    What version of Acrobat 7. Hopefully not 7.0.0 since there were many bug fixes. What version of Windows? What service packs? What version of MSIE? What version of Mozilla? Were there any recent Windows updates that you installed prior to things going wonky? Also, if running Windows XP, what firewall software and what virus protection?

  • Reader 9, blank dialog box, can't open PDF from web

    I have a newly custom built computer running XP Pro (Quad-core with 3g of ram). I have a fresh install of Reader 9 and Firefox 3.0.1. When trying to open a PDF shipping label from USPS.com, Reader opens and an empty dialog box appears with only the OK button. When I click OK, Reader closes. I cannot print my shipping labels. Please help.

    Same problem here. It took me a while, but I got it to work.
    Changing on how the content type would be handled did it for me.
    Check the image here:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Image:Fx3Applications.png
    I needed to change the entry for 'PDF Document'. I set it to the top option. Doing this and testing it right away yielded in a crash. After restarting firefox the problems were gone.
    More info on the image above: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Adobe_Reader
    My guess is that the Adobe reader couldn't handle the fact that firefox hadn't downloaded the document yet, but was still trying to get it to open.

  • Cannot create .pdf from web pages X Pro

    Hmmm. I missing a trick here.
    Acrobat X Pro.
    Windows 7 64x.
    Create web pages from Chrome
    So I log into my New York Review of Books account as a Subscriber.
    I locate an article that is marked ' locked ', subscribers only  - I view it as one entire page.
    The whole article is visible - it should be, I'm a subscriber.
    I load the URL into 'Save As Web Page '  in Acrobat X Pro
    I click on Save. It doesn't save it it truncates the article after two pages placing a Nag Box at the end suggesting I take out a subscription. ( but I have ).
    When I attempt this on articles not ' Locked ' they save perfectly in Acrobat X Pro.
    NYRB web support are not really clued up on this.
    Why does this happen ...surely Acrobat x Pro can create the .pdf from the browser content and doesn't have to go back to the source in these circumstances?
    If I go into Chrome and PRINT the same Locked web page to PDF I get a half formatted black and white replica of the article in its entireity ( no Nag Box).
    I'm missing something here. Help please.

    Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
    This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
    I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
    Once you have the PDF make working copies.
    Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
    You may have to manually tag the PDF.
    n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
    Be well...

  • Cannot View PDF in Web Browser error

    Using windows XP sp3 has adobe reader 9 on it...
    Installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended was trouble prone enough, but now there is more...
    When trying to open a PDF in a browser window, you get the following dialog error message (sample site:http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone)
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
    For the cost of this program, I expected better. The above was not a problem before installing Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro extended.
    Please advise.
    Thanks
    bob

    I did a google search and found a fix that was a bunch of registry entries that worked for me:

    Hit the link for the PDF-you will be given option to open in safari or iBooks(or any other program able o open PDFs).
    That's not what she asked about.  She asked about saving PDFs, not just opening them and reading them.  While Safari lets you open PDF documents, it does not let you save them.  In order to save them, you'll need to use a web browser that permits downloading.  I use Atomic Web Browser and can confirm that it does permit downloading and saving of PDF documents.

    When you open a pdf in iBooks, it's automatially saved there.

  • Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

    Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
    have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
    So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
    My machine has both on and no problems.
    Thank YOU for your help!!

    It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.

  • I can't save pic. from net. "set your download location place as "Pictures"" That button doesn't work, or button for "browse" to send a file.

    With my new browser i can't save pictures from net. I saw a question about changing file location. I can't, coz that button doesn't work. Also if i want to send a file, using mail or something, browser button for searching file doesn't work. Thanks.

    I am using Firefox for several years and never had any problem. Since i update it to the new Firefox, problems start:
    If i am trying to save a picture from ALL internet, it is not working. I am doing in the same way, like always: view image/save image as.... When i click it is not working, and all my screen doing like i make a refresh. I saw something strange files in temp after i am trying to save a picture, files with name like "etilqs" and some other letters after, the files are hidden. When i close firefox, files disappear.
    If i am trying to send an e-mail with some files, button for search files in my pc, is not working, and when i click him, same thing with my screen. It is not about what kind of mail i am using, same problem if i want to attache a file on a site, even if i try to change files location in browser setup, like : options/general/save files to/... and i hit "browse..." button, same problem like i want to attache a file. Even here, if i want to use "ADD IMAGES" option, under is browse button, it is not working, same problem with my screen. Like is angry or something.
