Downloading twice when saving

Firefox version appears not to matter but I have 3.6.3 on XP SP3. When I go to a site that has a file of interest and I read that file, I then decide this is of interest so I wish to save it. I click file/save page as and input a name for the file. Firefox then fetches that file again from the site and saves it! WHY? it is already on my computer in a temp folder somewhere. How can I configure Firefox to just save the exiting file where I want with whatever name I want without downloading a 2Mbyte file all over again and wasting bandwidth and costing me money or chewing up my allowance?
an example webpage is http://www.britax.com.au/uploads/user-guides/22.pdf and it is a 12Mb file. Once you load it to read if you click file/save page as (Ctl S) it kicks off download manager and downloads the file and saves it. That means I have downloaded 1 file twice, once to read it and once to save it.
Thankyou
Norman
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== from installation

I have the same thing since I use FF several years ago.
I posted a similar thread but
this issue is constantly ignored by the Mozilla folks ...
I dont know why.

Preloader causes SWF to download twice

Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone else has run in to this issue, where
a movie with no 'export for runtime sharing' assets will be
downloaded twice when accessed via a preloader script (see
preloader code below). In this case, the SWF file 'main.swf' is
downloaded twice - the second time straight after the preloader has
finished with it. This is not usually detectable as most browsers
cache the movie and it is instantly taken from cache, however on
browsers that have the cache turned off this can be a very slow and
frustrating experience.

Hi kglad,
At first that seemed like a silly comment, but it forced me
to double-check everything. After the original block of code above,
the movie continues to play an animation on the main timeline,
always returning to the 2nd frame when done (the frame after the
code above). In the full code for the onLoadInit event I had a
_root.gotoAndStop(1); (see below) which called the movieclip
main.swf to load again... I have changed this to
_root.gotoAndStop(2); and it now works as intended.
Thanks for the starter! :)

Downloads Folder No Longer Jumps Up When Saving Attachments

When saving attachments in Mail, my downloads folder on the Doc used to jump up a couple of times when I hit "save" from within an email that I received to signify that I just saved it into that folder.
However, for no rhyme or reason, the downloads folder no longer jumps up when I save attachments. The attachment still save in to that folder but I miss the pop-up action telling me that it did.
I searched the net and posts and found nothing on this quark. This is driving me nutz!
Please help!

Check in System Preferences>Dock and check off Animate opening applications and see if that doesn't do it. Not sure if that is why but it is worth a shot.

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

Tab background color changes when saving or downloading (Ubuntu) - bug ?

I'm using Firefox 20.0 on Linux Ubuntu.
When I'm opening and using Firefox, the active tab background is light gray, and the other tabs are black (with white/gray text). But as soon as I have downloaded a file (saving an image for example, or a pdf), the tabs change color: the non active tabs turn gray instead of black, and the tab text is almost unreadable (gray on gray).
I have disabled ALL extensions (including the Ubuntu/Unity extensions) and restarted Firefox, and get the same result. See screenshot with before/after downloading: http://imagesup.net/?di=113687926169
On the other hand, when I start Firefox in safe mode, all is well, the tabs don't change color when downloading or saving a file.
What to do? Could this be a bug ?

Hey, I'm on Ubuntu, too.
It seems like you don't use Ubuntu's default theme, or at least, you have some modifications there, right? Try disabling your customizations to see if it works, I never saw / heard of this problem anywhere.
Also update your Firefox, there are changes that your problem is fixed after updating.
Another suggestion would be hacking about:config, for example, it might be the Download Manager's arrow flashing ( just guessing ), so you might want to disable that and see if something changes.
search 'browser.download.manager' in about:config and play with those configs to see if anything changes.

Hi Melbus_SE,
Are you downloading files from your Acrobat.com cloud storage? If so, what browser are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Has something changed on your system since you were able to download/open PDF files successfully? What version of Acrobat or Reader are you using to open these files?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but your answers will help us get to the bottom of this issue.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Firefox when saving a "complete html" file is downloading a folder and "2" copies of the html file not one. One of these has the same name but "0" kb content

Hi. The only save options for a full html type file on Firefox is as "web page, complete" and as I say when saving with Firefox the program is saving the usual yellow folder with links and artwork files etc, but is saving 2 copies of the HTML file where on of these files is empty, won't open and gets locked to the destination it was saved to. This empty file can't be moved, and can't be deleted. When this is attempted it gives message "cannot delete (or "move" if this is the case) : Cannot read from the source file or disc."
To overcome this I now use Internet Explorer, dut prefer not to. I have also deleted Firefox from my system and re-installed it, but this did not help. How can I stop this doubling of saved files? and how can I delete the ones that are now fixed to my desktop? can you lease help?

You said, ''Would like to sort this one out...any clues?''
Maybe something here will help:

I can't download firefox 4. I only get the option of "save file" or "cancel". When saving file nothing happens. Still doesn't download.

I click on 'download', then the box appears asking whether I want to save file or cancel. Usually, when downloading, the option of "run file" is given, but not in this case.

Click on Save File. Then click on the Tools menu at the top of the page and click on Downloads. When the file finishes downloading, double click it to being the installation.

CS6 Pshop - Alerts at startup; "All Readable Documents" not defaulting at opening; Format in file name not same as Format list when saving file

Just downloaded CS6 Design Standard. System - OS10.6.8 (about to upgrade to 10.8), iMac 27 i5Intel 4core 12GBram 2.66Ghz
As Pshop opens, I get three alerts...
1 - Could not load Enable Async I/O module because does not work with this version of Photoshop
2 - Could not load Multiprocessor Support module because does not work with this version of Photoshop
3 - Could not load FastCore Routines module because does not work with this version of Photoshop
Then asks if I want to be connected to internet or something like that. Then Pshop opens even before I click OK
None of these happened with CS5.5
I realize CS6 is 64bit. I have CS5.5 set at 32bit because of plugins.
Two issues I've noticed so far with CS6.
1 - As I open a document, the Enable selections drop down at bottom of window is not set on anything. I have to always select the All Readable Documents. Not the case in CS5.5 which was always default at All Readable Documents. Could not find anything in Prefs to this issue.
2 - When saving a document, whether RGB or CMYK, the drop down Format selections are not accurate. The first three or four do read correctly as correlating with the suffix (.jpg .tif etc) in the file name at top of window. But then the subsequent format selections below third or fourth one read as the one above it in the list.
eg: as RGB file: Saving through BMP indicates same in file name at top (.bmp). However, the next choice below that, Gif, still shows as .bmp in file name at top. And so on to bottom of list. Same with CMYK file.
Never saw this in CS5.5.
When I initially installed CS6, I noticed only item in the Plugins folder was Panels folder.... no other plugins. I thought this to be a download error of some sort and dragged basic plugins from 5.5 into 6 Plugins folder. Could this be the problem? Otherwise, I would have NO plugins in CS6
I have downloaded CS6 twice now thinking the first was corrupted. I used both download options on Adobe page - Akamai and standard
Same issues with both. One response stated this all to be a plugins problem. I have uninstalled "after market" plugins from both 5.5 & 6 SuperBladePro was the only one. Restarted CS6. Still same problems. Only items in Plugins are what came with program.

I owe an apology to the previous responder Chris C, to this issue. I misread his solution thinking he meant I needed to delete ONLY the "additional" plugins like SBPro. Which I did. But rereading, I see he meant ALL the plugins I dragged from 5.5 because the 6 plugins folder was empty.
I thought it was corrupted in download. So if you guys get points for solutions, be sure Chris gets a few since I responded saying it did not work.
In fact, after removing the 5.5 plugins from 6, everything is working fine.
Plus I didn't know the 6 plugin folder was for the "after markets" like SBPro which is good to know.
Also thanks for the fairly quick response. I'm typically dubious about forums as troubleshooting solutions.
Kinda like sending a message in a bottle out to sea. Never know when it's coming back.
Sometimes issues are urgent. Your response team has encouraged me greatly :-)
But still bummed that Chats do not support CS6 however.

Whenever I try to open an attachment I get "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred"

Title says it all. If I try to "open" an attachment, the download dialogue comes up and the progress bar begins to fill, then when it should be complete I get the message:
"The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred
Please Try Again."
I can still save the files, but then I have to delete them (and that's just a hassle). Any help would be appreciated!

Tools, Options, Attachments, Incoming. Then set to your prefered PDF reader.
An update has reset this to the internal PDF viewer rather than sticking with the one you had before. This reader does not work on my machine.

Adobe bridge crashes when saving illustrator files

Hi there,
We are developing custom connector using Adobe Drive SDK for our DAM system, the integration with CS was working fine, we recently updated Adobe Drive to 4.2, and we are encountering bridge crashes when saving illustrator file. It didn't happen with older version(4.0.2) of Adobe Drive, not sure why. I pin point the part that causing the issue: in our custom connector, we have READ_XMP_METADATA capability which we need to display the thumbnails and previews, and in the ftp sample connector, this capablity is not included originally, so the issue does not happen, but if I add this capabilty, the crash issue happens as well. If we exclude this capablity from our connector, this crash issue doesn't happen.
We noticed this only happens when saving illustrator file, not photoshop or indesign, and it seems that only in illustrator, when save, and the bridge has the current file folder showing, we are seeing there are twice folder refreshes, and usually it will crash after the second time. In photoshop and indesign, we don't see folder refreshes. If switch to other folder, the crash won't happen. We tested on both windows and Mac, on Mac, this seems happen less often. Another thing we noticed is in debug mode, or we have many debug logging turned on, the crash happens less often, if it is deployed with no debug logging, the crash happens almost everytime. So we are guessing it might be some synchronization problem.
Could you please advice what's the cause of this issue?
Thanks,
Katherine

Has it ever worked?
What kind of files are they and where do you save them?
Is a printer connected, set up and turned ON?
Have you already tried resetting the preferences?
Generally it's not a good idea to just save old files, because then some artwork may be automatically flattened. Illustrator will save the file to the old version file-format and if you used new features in-between, those cannot stay live in the old version file format.

CS6 Crashes When Saving Anything

Today, FNAR, Illustrator CS6 began to crash on save. It does this when saving to .ai, .pdf, .dwg...every format I've tried. I have installed two new fonts, but that was a few weeks ago (and I have used Illustrator since then), so I don't suspect them first off. I would think if that were the problem, the issue would have started immediately. This has happened with other things running (Sketchup, AutoCAD) and with nothing else running but the usual background stuff. I tried deleting that pesky. plist file, too, but could not find the directory it supposedly resides in anywhere on my PC. I also don't think it's a Creative Cloud user account issue, because to my knowledge I don't have such an account (corporate / business license here). In-house IT's solution is: reinstall Illustrator (but that's almost always their solution to anything). Meanwhile, if it is worth mentioning, my other Adobe products (like Acrobat XI) work fine.
I'm a pretty basic Illustrator user, so I really don't know what else to try. Hoping someone has suggestions...

dluns,
Should it not be updated to 16.0.5?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=27&platform=Windows
Apart from that, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Font licensing error when Saving?

I use Illustrator CC and get a licensing error when saving designs with downloaded fonts.
The designs look fine on my computer and fine when I open them from my drop box account.
The problem comes when others open the design, the fonts change to Arial in most cases, which is causing design issues.
This is even happening when the design is saved as a PDF.
How do I solve this problem?
Can I get licenced fonts?
Where are they available?
Many thanks for reading.

You can have your other contacts download and install the same fonts
or
you can select all the text in your document and create outlines of the fonts, printers often ask for this option.
or
You can purcahse fonts from say Adobe and if I am not mistaken you can have those installed on five work stations, I do not know if you are allowed to consider a colleague as legal user of the fonts. And I do no recall if the number of seats for the fonts have changed but it used to be five seats. As I recall.
or
you can purcahse from My Fonts as well http://www.myfonts.com but again the other contacts ave to have the fonts installed as well check out how many seats for the fonts ypoouare entitled to and if that includes remoe sites for the seats.

Does Preview compress PDFs when saving?

Hi. My scanner can group separate scans into a single PDF on its own, but it is significantly slower than scanning documents separately and merging them with Preview.
Since scans are essentially saved twice when going the "merge with Preview" route (once when scanned, again when merged), I'm curious to know whether Preview compresses PDFs with each save. If so, I'd like to know how lossy this process is. Anyone know?
Thanks in advance for any help / info!

Preview suck!!! Please for your own sanity use acrobat to edit PDF. Get it from adobe.com
