FireFox 33.1 will not display the PDF file from Bank online site after 33.1

I asked this question in an unrelated support ticket so I want to give more detail here. I have tried uninstalling Adobe reader and reinstalling it and it did not help. This was working before with all the exact same addins I had before. I called the Bank and asked if they had any problems and they say no. I can go to the Firefox PDF display for this file and click on download the PDF then double click it in Windows explorer and Adobe reader comes up and displays the file just fine. Don't mind doing that for now. What happens is the bank loads the file then Adobe reader displays with a white screen and a little circle going round and round, like a video is trying to play, and it just sits there forever. I never see the file contents. Anyway I hope your have a good of a day as I am and I know it get better. Thanks Firefox programmers for such a wonderful program.
Update: While I was writing this I remembered to go into Firefox options, then Applications, and wouldn't you know it, a PDF document was set to "Preview in Firefox". I changed that to Adobe reader and now it works just fine. Guess there's something wrong with the Preview code in Firefox. So I'm happy now. Hope this helps someone.

Yes, the built-in PDF viewer is a work in progress. Glad you found a workaround, or got back to your preferred configuration, depending on how you look at it.

  • Preview.app will not display some PDF files

    Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
    After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
    I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

    The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

  • Not moving the .pdf files from Drop Off Library to my custom document library in sharepoint 2013

    Hi Team,
    I am trying to move the .pdf files from drop-off library to custom library.
    For the above requirement i am writing content organizer rule condition like (On Group: Document content types & Type: Document)
    Property: Name
    Operator: Ends with
    value: .pdf
    and Setting value in target location like
    /sites/MS/ProductGuides
    How to solve the issue
    If help appriciated
    Regards,
    Dhaya

    Hi Dhaya,
    I created a Content Organizer rule like this:
    When uploading a .pdf file to the Drop Off library, it is moved to the destination library immediately:
    I suggest you create a similar rule as above for another test to see if the issue still persists.
    Thanks

  • TS1702 My iPhone 4s will not display any pdf file in any of several apps. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

    I have tried several apps including Adobe Reader, PDFReader Lite and iBooks to open PDF files. No files I sync to the 4S are even displayed, much less opened. I'd like to hear from anyone who has been able to overcome a similar problem.

    OK, glad that worked!
    How about trying this as step 2:
    When you open the PDF attachment in Mail that you can read, click the action (right arrow) button near the top right of your screen.  One of the options there should be "Open in iBooks".  Does that work for you?  It should!

  • Firefox does not delete the .part file from my download folder after a successful download

    First off, I'm on a MacBook Pro, running 10.6.4 and FF3.6.12
    I've recently noticed that on occasion Firefox does not seem to delete the .part file associated with a successful download. The .part file (with a name consisting of a string of random characters followed by a .part extension) is visible in my Download folder stack, although not visible in the actual folder view. I cannot drag this file from the stack to the trash.
    The real problem stems from the fact that this seems to create a directory error on my hard drive. Were I to run Disk Utility (which I will have to do... again!), it would return with an error saying something like "incorrect block length", requiring me to boot up from my install disk and repair the drive.
    Is this maybe a bug? Is there something I might be doing wrong? Could an extension like AdBlock be messing up my downloads?

    It seems that FireFox leaves those partial download files if for any reason they get interrupted. It's possible to resume the download through various uninteresting means, but if you're like me, it gets filled up with files that I intentionally did not complete downloading.
    If you're terminal-savvy, you can set up a script that cleans up old .part files. Here's what I've set in my crontab:
    0 * * * * /usr/bin/find ~/Downloads/*.part -atime +1 -exec rm {} \; &> /dev/null
    It will delete any files in my downloads folder that are at least 1 day old.
    To install this in your crontab, launch terminal and type "crontab -e"
    This will bring up a text editor, probably vi. You'll see a bunch of ~'s down the left side. Type "i" to go into "insert" mode. The bottom left will say "-- INSERT --"
    Copy and paste (or type) the line of code I have above.
    Hit enter just to make sure you have a newline at the end.
    Hit "Escape" to exit the insert mode.
    Hit Shift-Z Shift-Z (that's Shift-Z twice) to exit the editor.
    You should see a status message "crontab: installing new crontab"
    If you type "crontab -l" you should see your newly installed crontab.
    At the top of the next hour, any .part files that are more than a day old should be deleted, and this should continue forever.

  • Dreamweaver cc 2014.1 will not open the html files from my business catalyst site

    I just imported my business catalyst site (originally built with Muse) into dreamweaver.  the whole site downloaded as expected and dreamweaver maintains that the 2 folders have the same files.  When I click to open any file in Dreamweaver it appears to open and then close the file immediately giving no indication of a problem. 
    Anyone come across this and or have any idea what could be happening?  I can open these files in Text Wrangler.
    I have followed the steps of deleting preferences etc that I have come across in my search today.  None of those helped. 
    Files from other sites seem to be opening fine.
    Thank you.

    The only files I am encountering this issue with are the ones I downloaded from BC into a brand new folder.  Further, any new files that I create in Dreamweaver and then save to the local root folder of the site I downloaded from BC will no longer open after I close them.  I can open all of the files I downloaded from BC in text wrangler with no problem.  I have about 10 other sites I am having no issues with what so ever.
    I am considering this an isolated issue between Dreamweaver and the folder that I imported my BC site to as I have never had any other issue with using Dreamweaver. 
    But to answer your questions:
    1.  no
    2.  no issue
    3.  yes, no issue.
    4.  yes.  all of them.
    5.  not doing this one. 

  • My apple TV will not play the m4v files from my pinnacle dazzle.

    I recently purchased the Pinnacle Dazzle analog to digital converter. It states that it can convert an analog file to a apple TV compatable file. m4v I converted some analog files and found that they play fine on itunes but when I stream them to the apple TV they run a few frames and then stall like they are trying to get more information. I tried this with several types of videos and have the same problem...does anyone out there have a similar problem.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    The fact that files play in itunes and not on the Apple tv indicates there are two areas to consider here. The files may be encoded in an incompatible format for the Apple tv or there are problems in the movie atoms caused by improper encoding.
    When you create .m4v files from your A/D converter do you use an Apple tv preset or do you need to input your own settings.
    What happens if you choose to convert these files to an Apple tv format in itunes.

    How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
    Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.
    Have uninstalled adobe but safari then will not display any pdf files.
    Preview still works fine to view existing downloaded files.

    What kind of files?  PDFs?  or Others as well?
    If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
    Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
    When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
    Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
    Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.

  • Firefox will not print a pdf file

    I have Firefox 9.0 and it will not print a pdf file using the print icon but will print using Ctr+p. It will print in internet explorer. What do I need to do ?

    Which "print" icon - the one on a Firefox toolbar or the one in the PDF window?
    If you are using Adobe Reader to display PDF file, the newer version of Adobe hides the Reader toolbar by default - hit F8 to show the toolbar, the print icon should be on the Adobe toolbar.

  • Adobe Reader Will Not Display Large PDFs

    When using the Adobe Reader app on PlayBook it will not display some PDFs. It seems that it will not display PDFs that are too large.
    Some files that might be too large do not display while smaller files do display in the app. The too large range could be in the 12 MB region where the good range could be 6 MB or less.
    I tried to submit feedback to BlackBerry on this issue but it returned my email saying it could not process my request. I am hoping that they read it here.
    Here is a link to a page with both readable and unreadable files:
    http://www.bossus.com/backstage/product_manuals/?g​roup=2
    A readable PDF is the owner's manual for the RV-3. A unreadable PDF is the owner's manual for the RC-3.

    That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect.  You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
    If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
    #In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
