Click on download of pdf opens adobe acrobat reader, but then clicking on file save-as does not give a dialog box to change the name or location where it is sav

Using Firefox 19.02
When I receive an email with an Excel, Word, or PDF file attachment, and I click download, firefox opens up the associated program for all my users, however when you click on file>save-as you are not presented with the dialog box to perform a save.
Excel and Word, no fix at all. Other than different browser or to click download, right click and go to folder, and then copy it out of there to another folder and open it.
Help, what is going on here????

  • Since Lion doesn't support Power PC... how do I open Adobe acrobat reader?

    I'm trying to open Adobe Acrobat Reader to download something from the internet, and discovered for the first time that I can't because Power PC is no longer supported by Apple..(whatever that is????)  I don't know what to do.  Can someone help.  Thank you sgarbo

    but osx support displaying pdf files without you installing that program
    which along with Java are the biggests caused of insucrity in private computers there are apple and windows alike

  • How to open adobe acrobat reader without having to open photoshop?

    how to open adobe acrobat reader without having to open photoshop? i keep getting this message when opening pdf files. "adobe acrobat was installed as part of a suite. to enable adobe acrobat, please start another component of this suite(such as photoshop)

    Are you mixing Adobe Acrobat with the Adobe Reader?
    If you have Acrobat on your computer you need to associate PDFs with Reader to open in it.
    You also need to get the latest security patches for Reader.

    Hey,
    You can go under 'Control Panel > Programs' and click Change for Acrobat 5.0
    From the Custom Setup dialog box that opens, select Languages and choose English as the desired language for the software.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Websites will convert to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 but not Adobe Acrobat XI

    Hello,
    We have noticed that there are several websites that can be concerted into a PDF using Adoble Acrobat 9, but do not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. An example is the website http://amseventsubc.com/. This site converts with no problems using Adobe Acrobat 9, but will not work with Adobe Acrobat XI. When one tries to convert the website (by going Create > PDF from Web Page > Capture Multiple Levels > Get entire site > Create) it starts to work for about 10 minutes but then stops and crashes the program.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for how to fix this problem?
    Is there any reason why a website would work in an older version of Acrobat and not the most recent?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi, we are actually not looking to have active links but rather to have the content from each link saved as part of the PDF (We are looking to convert the entire website's content to PDF). On Adobe X you can normally append any link so that its content will be converted and added to your PDF, however, this can't be done with XML links. 

  • Opening Adobe Acrobat/Reader (1:1) in Firefox

    Hello all,
    I realise this thread is very similar to others on this forum but having followed the posts and possible solutions I still cannot come to a successful outcome. Hopefully someone can help.
    Firstly the error: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)
    This occurs when trying to launch a pdf from within an internet page.
    I have version 10.1.2 of Adobe Reader
    I am running Firefox version 10.0
    I have attempted to uninstall and then reinstall Adobe, unchecked the enable protection mode in Adobe Reader X general settings and even tried tinkering with the registry edits but alas I still receive the above error message each time.
    Could someone please provide an initial step-by-step problem solving approach to see where fault lies with my Adobe, bearing in mind the version of Reader and Firefox I have?
    Many, many thanks.

    After a third uninstall and re-install I've managed to crack it.
    Thanks anyhow everyone.

  • When I downloadded firefox, I lost adobe acrobat program, but still have the plug-in

    and I can't figure out how to get it back!

    Adobe acrobat? I haven't seen that in a long time. Now, you're most likely looking for adobe reader, acrobat is generally for pdf editing and creation only. You can re-download the software by logging in to your adobe account on adobe's website and downloading it, if you have paid for the software and you intend to edit pdf's

  • I have repeatibly loaded Adobe Acrobat Reader but the Plugin Check gives me Adobe Acrobat Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.0.1 Outdated Version Update. While the plug in check is important it is quite bothersome at present. Please help.

    EVERY TIME the browser boots it kicks off the plug in check. I understand that this is important but it is currently a pain. Once I update Adobe Acrobat Plug in the browser does not recognize that the plug in has been installed and keeps coming up and up an up an up.
    This is the message I get.

    Please get back with me regarding a fix.

  • AICS5-I cannot reflect by specifying an axis--alt-Click does not bring up dialog box

    I follow the instructions below.  But when I alt-click, the dialog box does not pop up ---at least not until I give up and move my cursor off the artboard. Then the dialog box comes up, but the "preview" shows my object no where near reflected off the axis I designated???
    Reflect by specifying an axis
    Select the object to reflect.
    To reflect the object around the object’s center point, choose Object > Transform > Reflect or double-click the Reflect tool .
    To reflect the object around a different reference point, Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) anywhere in the document window.
    In the Reflect dialog box, select the axis across which you want the object to be reflected. You can reflect an object across a horizontal, a vertical, or an angled axis.
    If the object contains patterns and you want to reflect the patterns, select Patterns. (To reflect only the patterns, deselect Objects.)
    To preview the effect before you apply it, select Preview.
    Do one of the following:
    To reflect the object, click OK.
    To reflect a copy of the object, click Copy.

  • Can't open PDFs with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

    I downloaded AR DC and cannot open PDFs while using Google Chrome.  I get a message that I have to accept the end user license but I can't find it.  If I switch to Firefox I can open the same PDF without a problem.  I am on MacBook Air Yosemite 10.10.3

    Chrome uses its own, built-in (and buggy) PDF viewer.
