Cant download pdf

Using Windows 7, 64-bit OS and Firefox (and IE8) has trouble downloading PDF files with certain, bot not all, websites. Have refreshed installation of Firefox and Acrobat 9 Pro without benefit - any suggestions welcome

Personally, I've not heard of this but maybe WP doesn't handle long names as well as Windows - what actually happens when you try? Is there an error message or does the download just fail silently?

    Hi, we cant download documents in Adobe Connect, system write writes "it is impossible to transform a file".  We cant download all types files, in many adobe connect rooms, what happened?!

    Please call into Adobe Support.  It sounds like corruption of your room.  Does this happen in a new room or new File Share pod?

  • Cant download PDFs and 'report problem link wont send anything

    All links to PDFs on sites supposedly do a download, but then do not display anything. When I tried to use the Report a Problem link I filled in all the details and then pressed submit but it did nothing - could only go back

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).

    The Adobe Reader plugin may not be working properly on Mac.
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac
    Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.<br />
    PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document or Adobe Acrobat Document.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader

    You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. Your profile shows MacBook, Mac OS 9.0.x, LAPTOP 6 YEARS OLD. Then you state you are using Firefox version 3.6.23.
    MacBooks can't run OS 9. The Firefox version requires OS X. Can you clarify what Mac you have and what OS it's running?
    Also, it's not polite to type your question in all caps, as it's considered SHOUTING.

  • Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox

    Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox.  In Safari PDF files open automatic.  Firefox won't open anything.

    Does this help?

  • Cant print pdf , whats up worked fine before ????

    Whoa! Sounds like you might have gotten hit by a virus. I have not heard of a message that you need to download AA9, particularly since AA9 has a hefty price with such a download. Was the download actually from Adobe or some unknown site? If the latter, I would suspect the worst (OK, I get paranoid at times). If it was AR9 (the reader), then it might be a more reasonable request, but the download should still be done from Adobe.com. AR9 can run with AA8 also, but there are hickups that occur that leads to Adobe's recommendation to not do a dual installation. That goes for AA8 and AA9 also. Typically AA8 is uninstalled with the AA9 installation.
    Because of my paranoid view, I would suggest running a serious virus scan before doing anything else. I would not transfer anything to another machine or use a memory stick until you are sure things are clean. I virus would surely potentially cause such problems.
    Feel free to ignore my ranting, but I am concerned about what happened as the download was done and such. Unless you are real sure about the "AA9", I would finish a virus scan, uninstall the AA9, and go back to AA8. You will need to be sure you uninstall, delete the Acrobat folders, use the MS Cleanup utility (mentioned several times in the forum), and reboot before the reinstall. If you are sure you had a clean AA9 download from Adobe and not some other place, then you might try it again. I would be tempted to go back to AA8.

    Hi valerieross,
    Acrobat can be used to view pdf's or edit pdf's not download them.
    Check your browser settings.

    Can you open PDF's in Apple's Preview application?
    I assume you mean Adobe Reader. Where are you getting Reader? From here: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html?
