Downloading PDF from internet

I would like to download a PDF file from the Internet
"sometimes"
I get a message in Adobe Reader as follows
Adobe Reader could not open ____because it is either not a
supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was
sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
I have downloaded it to my Desktop and tried opening it from the website
I have Adobe Reader 9.3
this last time someone from the website sent the same PDF file to me in an e-mail and it opened peoperly

This is the site
http://www.hanp.net/volumes/current
there is a highlighted area that indicates
download PDF
I had contacted someone associated with the website above and he indicated he had no trouble opening the PDF file on the site.  He sent it to me in an email attachment, and I was able to open it in Adobe without a problem
Thank you for looking into it for me

  • Firefox 18.0.1 will not download .pdf from internet, add-on incompatible with Acrobat X

    The Add-Ons manager says: Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1 (disabled)
    All that happens now is that, when I click on a PDF Google result, a page with the correct URL opens, but no file is downloaded. If I use Quick View, however, I go to the PDF on the site. If I click Download Original, I just get the blank page again. Any ideas?

    I don't use the Downloads folder. Everything just goes straight to the desktop. I checked the Downloads window, however, and there is no sign of a download there. On the other hand, I have just successfully downloaded two PDF files from Gmail which are in the window, so now I have no idea what is going on :o(

  • On new MBP, wont download pdfs from secure sites, like banks. "unknown error" reported. Using Acrobat.

    Recently started using a Macbook Pro, formerly ran Firefox on a PC. Installed Acrobat and it works fine, and will download pdfs from internet fine, UNLESS it is from certain sites, that as near as I can tell have in common that I needed a password to get in (eg, Bank, insurance company). At this sites I can't download a pdf file, and am told that an "unknown error" occurred and I should try saving directly link to the disk. But this doesn't work either, it just wants to save a .cgi file, not the pdf. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Did you try to save that cgi file and give it a .pdf file extension?

  • I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

    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.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    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.

  • Exporting file to pdf from internet, the document its in blank or incomplete

    When i export a file to pdf from internet, the document is in blank or incomplete. Its the same if i donwload in a PC or opening online. The trouble is only in this PC, and i try with diferent browsers.
    I try deleting temporary files, upgrading a latest version of Reader and modifying the security configuration in the browser.
    Any idea?

    Hi da23841142,
    What are you using to export the file to PDF? Or, are you simply downloading a PDF file from the Internet, and then trying to view it in Reader? What version of Reader are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows?
    Best,

    I recieve %pdf" error when trying to download using below code. from backend perspective ABAPer said they are able to download PDF from ABAP program. Lokks like I am doing some mistake somewhere in below code.
    From the backend, pdf is coming in  a table in the form of SOLI-Text Line (TLine - SO_TEXT255)
    In webdynpro I am tried to take each line from that table and attched to a IWDResource as below.
    Please correct me if anything wrong here to get out of %pdf" error.
    IModel_Pdf_FileNode Model = wdContext.nodeModel_Pdf_File();
    IPDFElement pdf = wdContext.nodePDF().currentPDFElement();
    if (Model != null && Model.size() > 0)
    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(1024);
    try {
       for (int i = 0; i < Model.size(); i++){
          IModel_Pdf_FileElement Element =

              WDWebResourceType.PDF);
        pdf.setBinaryResource(resource);
    Thanks

    Thanks for the sample. I use version NWDS7.0 and I don't find IContent type in my NWDS after re-organizing import statements.
    currently I use below code to get the PDF on click of LinkToaction UI element (After I set the pdf from backend above part of the code).
    {code
    IWDResource pdfResource = wdContext.nodePDF().currentPDFElement().getBinaryResource();
                   String pdfURL = pdfResource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_INPLACE.ordinal());
              IWDWindow window =
              wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager()
              .createNonModalExternalWindow(pdfURL , "Test");
              window.show();
    {code}
    Currently above code giving %pdf" error when clicking LTU UI elemnt.
    Please suggest How I need to adjust your sample in my case.
    Thanks

  • How do I keep downloaded pdfs from automatically opening in Acrobat on a MAC?

    I am downloading pdfs from FETCH on a MAC and they are automatically opening in Acrobat. How do I download and not have them open? There are literally hundreds of them.
    Thanks,

    Hi Brian,
    The Safari web browser contains a feature, enabled by default, which causes all files considered "safe" to be automatically opened once they have finished downloading. Safari considers the following file types to be safe:
    - Pictures
    - Movies
    - Sounds
    - PDF files
    -Text documents
    - Disc images (.dmg files)
    - Other archive types
    Although it can be convenient while enabled, this can be a very dangerous feature when it comes to your security. It can be disabled in a few easy steps.
    > Open your Safari web browser by clicking on the Safari icon in the dock.
    > Click on Safari in your Safari menu, located at the top of your screen. When the drop-down menu appears, choose Preferences.
    > Select the General tab from the Preferences window, which is now overlaying your browser window.
    You will now see a check box labeled "Open 'safe' files after downloading", located near the middle of the Preferences window. If this box is checked, click on the check mark and verify that it is no longer active.
    Click on the red circle/x located in the top left hand corner of the Preferences window to complete the process. You will now be returned to your main browser window.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • I cannot download pdfs from FireFox on a Mac

    Up until just a few days ago I could download pdfs from websites through Firefox. As far as I know I did not upgrade or change anything. I followed all of the tutorials, the Troubleshooting Information tips, deleted profile.ind files, added the PDF viewer 0.6.39 and that does not work.
    I am on a Mac, OS 10.6.8
    Firefox 17

    You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

  • How to download stuff from internet to computer then to ipod touch

    How to download stuff from internet to computer then download to ipod touch so i can use it offline for fire department.

    What kind of stuff?  You probably need an app that can import by File Sharing and which can "read" the stuff.  A good app that may meet your needs is GoodReader.

  • Why do I get a black screen when loading pdf from internet

    I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to Adobe Reader 11.0.06.  Now when I attempt to download a pdf from the internet, the Reader screen opens but the text portion of the screen is black.  I can open pdf file i have previously saved.

    Another possibility to to use the Schubert PDF plug in. It has been around for years and works great.
