Can't stop PDF files from opening in Safari

I prefer pdf files to download rather than open in Safari. I had no trouble setting this up with Acrobat 5.0 and OSX 10.3. I now have AcrobatPro 8.0.0, Safari 2.0.4, and OSX 10.4.8.
How do I disable this feature?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Have a look at this MacosXHints thread. Besides, entering the suggested Terminal command, I think it's important to move the Adobe PDF plug-in out of the Internet Plug-ins folder.
Give it a try. You'll see there is a "reverse" terminal command if it doesn't work.

How do I stop PDF's from Opening inside Safari

Several versions back of Safari, I found out how to make PDF's download to the downloads folder or other preferred location (desktop for me) instead of opening inside a Safari window. As I recall, it actually had something to do with a setting in Adobe Reader. With the advent of Safari 7.0, I am now back to the "open inside Safari" behavior. I have searched these discussions, been through all of Reader's and Safari's settings and haven't been able to come up with the solution. Can someone lead me down the correct path? TIA

Hi,
This may happen if the PDF is opened inside the browser by the PDF plugin.
In '''Tools''' ( or '''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Applications''' look for or type PDF in the search box and for the '''Action''' on the right change it to '''Save File''' or click '''Use other...''' and browse to the PDF main exe and select.

Can't download PDF files from Firefox or Safari

When I click on a PDF from a webpage it has always downloaded and opened with Preview. Recently (potentially correlated to when I had to download Adobe Acrobat) the PDFs won't open at all.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
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 quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
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.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)
Best regards

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.

How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC

The app called "Air Sharing" allows you to do that. Connect to a wifi network, run the program and you can mount your iphone as a drive using Finder. Upload all the PDFs you like, and you can open them from within the Air Sharing app. Also, you can view most image files, most office files, etc.

How can i get pdf files from my ipad to my pc?

Please help im so lost, i need to get a pdf file from my ipad to my pc but it doesnt work with workspaces. I really need it for uni.

If you are running the Adobe Reader app on your iPad you can upload your pdf to .crobat.com and then download it to your laptop
On your iPad open your PDF in the Adobe Reader app
Select the save icon in the top toolbar - looks like a doc with a wrench)
Select 'Save to Acrobat.com'
Select the 'Get Started' button
Enter you Adobe ID and password
Your file should be saved up to Acrobat.com
Go to your PC
Launch your internet browser
Open https://files.acrobat.com/
Log into Acrobat.com with the same Adobe ID as you used on your iPad
Your file should be available
Select the file and select the Download icon
You can download the file to your hard drive
Another option is
Go to you PC
Launch Adobe Reader
Select File > Open
From the Open Dialog select the dropdown arrow beside 'Open from online Account' - select Acrobat.com
You will be prompted to enter your Adobe ID and Password
You should then see your PDF in the listings
Select to open
Once open you can save to your desktop
hope this helps
