Downloading PDF from website

Some of our clients cannot download PDFs off our website. They get an error message that says file is not available. However I cannot duplicate this issue so I can't figure out why it won't work for them

Hi AEIG,
May I know the web browser that the users are using? Can you please ask the user to use different web browser and then check the issue.

Acrobat 8 Pro Error when download pdf from website

Fresh install of Acrobat 8 Pro.
Win XP Home edition SP3.
IE 7.0.5730
Windows message:
"Do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it?"
"Name:5821.pdf
Type: Unknown File Type, 242kb
Buttons: [Find] [Save] [Cancel]"
This happens everytime I try to download a pdf (different file name of course)
How do I set Adobe Acrobat to be my default pdf reader?
Thanks

I remember what the difference is. I used to have different choices. [Open] [Save] [Cancel]
I used to Always choose OPEN for pdfs. I could choose to save later if I decided to keep the file. Is this a change that Adobe made? A browser plug-in, maybe?
I really dont want to save EVERYTHING, and have to remember to drag it to the recycle bin later.
Any help?

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.

Downloaded adobe reader for mac, but can't open pdf from websites

I just downloaded the Adobe reader for Mac, but can't open any pdf from websites. I've already deleted the previous version off of my computer. I even intstalled Adobe Air Reader as well, but nothing is working. Please help! =(

In case you have Safari version 5.1 and above, please have a look at :http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90885.html
If this is not the case please see if the safari has 32-bit mode enable. More info at: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50983.html

Cannot print PDF from websites

We have about 50 PCs. We regulalry download documents from websites and print them out. But on one PC we are having problems. We can download the document and view it on screen. The problem PC does not have a local printer. Instead it is connected to two printers shared through the main server: a HP 4250 and a HP4014. We cannot print these downloaded PDFs to either printer. When we attempt to print the confirmation "bubble" does not appear about the tasktray, but he printer icon does appear. When I open the printer window it briefly dispalys a 1 for the number of print jobs. When I look at the list of jobs it says the job is spooling, then it deletes and disappears. If I view the queue from another PC it shows the job spooling and then disappearing. If I store the PDF locally it will print no problem. We have a couple of printers shared from PCs. I can print from the affected PC straight from websites to these printers no problem. Some of the documents we want to print do not have a save option. Instead we print to a virtual PDF printer, save locally, then open with Adobe Reader and it prints no problem. I have tried reinstalling the network printers, but doesn't fix the problem. We are running 10.1.4 on the affected PC. Any help would be much apprecited.

Some more information would be useful:
What application are you using to print, Preview, Adobe Reader, Acrobat, or something else?
What happens when you try to print? Can you not select it from the File menu? Does something go wrong with the Print dialog box? Is it something that happens afterwards?

%pdf error in downloading pdf from Function module

Hi,
I am trying to download pdf from a LinkToaction UI element.
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 =
                                             Model.getModel_Pdf_FileElementAt(i);
     baos.write(Element.getLine().getBytes());
    IWDResource resource =WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(
          baos.toByteArray(),
          "Test",
          WDWebResourceType.PDF);
    pdf.setBinaryResource(resource);
Thanks
Praveen

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

This after noon my computer quit being able to download documents from websites any ideas

This afternoon my desk top quit letting me download docs from websites it tries , then a black window appears any idea?

Back up all data, then uninstall "Speed Download" according to the developer's instructions.
Other system modifications that can cause this kind of problem are "iGetter" and "TVU Player." If none of those is installed, then proceed as below.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
iPhotoPhotocast
Java
QuickTime
Shockwave Flash
WebKit built-in PDF

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?

How can I download images from website with Automator?

Hi!
I want to ask how can I download images from website with Automator like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQm7Xr9jY0w&t=85m15s (in 1:25:15).
I want to download these images to my downloads folder. Some things have changed and I can't find exact options as then. When I am trying to make it it shows "The action "Download URLs" was not supplied with the required data."
I am using 2012 late iMac with Mac OSX 9.2 (Mavericks).

There are two apps that I know of - and I would also swear that they come from the same developer, although they've different names. Both have free trials and both cost $40 (but both do 'other' video conversion as well).
One is WonderShare - I bought this one and it works very well for downloading YouTube videos as well as converting just about any file format you can think of.
The other is iSkysoft Video Converter (just noticed that it's now $36).
I tried them both and finally decided on WonderShare. Give them both a trial run and decide if you like either one enough to buy it. I don't know of any 'free' software that will allow you to download and convert YouTube videos, but perhaps someone else will come along and know of something...
Good luck,
Clinton

How do I download pdfs from link without opening first in Safari?

I am running OS 10.7.2 and browse with Safari 5.1.2. I download PDF files routinely for my work. In previous versions of Safari (with OS 10.5.x), clicking a link to download a PDF led to the PDF immediately downloading and then opening in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Since upgrading to current system and Safari, I can no longer do that. Clicking on PDF links opens in Safari, and then I have to find and click Safari's download button, and then I have to go to the downloads folder and click to open the document. Does anyone know how to bypass this opening feature and get Safari to just download and then get the pdf to instantly open like it used to? I am finding myself moving to Firefox, which I don't like as well and don't know as well, because it doesn't interfere with PDF docs.
Any solutions out there?

Thanks for the suggestion, but those are the settings I'm already using. Unfortunately, the various websites I visit don't respond uniformly to control-click, and choosing to download a file from that menu often just downloads an HTML of the page rather than the pdf doc itself. I find shift-option-click works more often than other key combos, but I still have to then go to the downloads folder and manually open the file.
You may be right about Firefox being my only option. Thanks for the suggestions.
