Cannot download pdf files files from gmail

For some reason pdf files that I try to download from the internet will not download. I get the message that file is loading but they always stop after a few kb. I don't have this problem when I use Internet explorer.

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 into the text box that opens (command-V), 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.

Cannot download .pdf files and word docs from KM using Web Dynpro

Dear Portal Gurus,
Using KM API, I am trying to download, documents from KM in my Web Dynpro Application. But .pdf files and word docs with screenshots are not getting retrieved from KM. Word docs opens with no content and Adobe opens with an error saying "Either it is a damaged file or It is not a supported file".
I am using the following KM service to download the content.
public byte[] retrieveResourceInBytes(String strRid){
///// after a few lines ////
     if (this.loggedOnUser.isAuthenticated()) {
// create a resource context with the authenticated user
     rContext = new ResourceContext(this.loggedOnUser);
// create a RID to handle a resource
      aRid = RID.getRID(strRid);
          try {
          // get an instance of a resource factory
                 final IResourceFactory aResourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
// retrieve a folder/file with context
                                             aResource = aResourceFactory.getResource(aRid, rContext);
     if(aResource.isCollection()) {
                                                                  aResource = (ICollection) aResource;
                                                  IPropertyMap objIPropertyMap = aResource.getProperties();
                                             IMutablePropertyMap objIMutablePropertyMap =objIPropertyMap.getMutable();
                                             objHashMap = new HashMap();
     if (aResource != null) {
                                                                     IContent oldContent = aResource.getContent();
                        InputStream objInputStream=oldContent.getInputStream();
             byte[] theBytes = new byte[objInputStream.available()];
             objInputStream.read(theBytes);
                    return theBytes;
     } // catches all the exceptions here///
Could you please advise if I am doing something wrong else could you please advise me for any corrections which would help?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Zeena

Hi,
Which web browser are you using to view the PDF? Safari 5.1.8
When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader add-in you will either see a floating toolbar
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-5224223-317859/430-90/floating +toolbar.JPG
or a normal toolbar
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-5224223-317860/450-11/normalto olbar.JPG
both the toolbars have save button, use the button to save the file locally. I do not see these toolbars. I do, however see this
and it works! Thanks
Hope this will help you.
Thanks

Cannot download GPS Almanac files from navcen.uscg.gov

Cannot download GPS almanac files (current.alm) from NAVCEN. response from NAVCEN says:Greetings,
Thank you for contacting the USCG Navigation Center with this issue. We were able to duplicate your issue using Firefox version 3.6. Further testing using earlier versions of Firefox (3.5 and 3.0) and Internet Explorer encountered no issues downloading and saving the GPS almanac files.
There are many reports of similar downloading issues from other sources on the Mozilla support forums with possible solutions to try so it appears to be a software/web browser issue and we recommend you try another browser or a different version of your current browser and see if that resolves the issue.

That's an odd one. The site is not much help either. There is a list of plugins and/or viewers that they claim are used for documents on the site: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=plugIns (the link is at the bottom right corner of the main page, "Download plug-ins").
Note that those saying "...Viewer 2003" are out of date; the current versions are "...Viewer 2007" and are available free on the Microsoft site: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=site:microsoft.com+viewer+2007&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

The file will not open in Firefox but will open the Word application and display the download there; save it from Word if you want to keep the file.
When the screen opens to Open or Save file, choose Browse, browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office1# and click on winword.exe ; if you want it to handle all .alm files in Word in the future, check the box "Do this automatically for files like this from now on".

Hi Guys,
I have had heaps of trouble with plugins and add on's since using upgrades after 3.6.18. Now I cannot download PDF files!
Are you Guys going to fix what used to be a good browser or do I have to use IE?
Please keep it simple.

-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
-> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''''' -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> click OK
You can enable the Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

You can download and install on your system from Adobe's website. Have you already opened the box you have received? If not, you can return it for an exchange. In the meantime you can download the trial version from this link:

I am not sure if the Windows Serial number will work on your Mac system.
Good luck.
