Firefox does not create a pdf properly using "print Save as pdf" in Mac OSX. Why?

When I "Print > Save As Pdf" in Mac OSX, Firefox will always clip the right margin of the page, leaving out alot of information from the document. Safari creates the same page effortlessly, but I generally prefer Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== ? After updating to Firefox 3.5.8 - maybe?

I am able to command-print-save as PDF and get the whole page but Firefox crashes every time.

  • Hyperlinks don't work in PDF using Print Save as PDF

    The same way as you get them to work after you use Print > print to a sheet of paper.
    PDF documents created via the Print dialogue (or via Export...PDF) are basically digital equivalents of paper documents.
    If you want functioning hyperlnks in a PDF document, you need Adobe Acrobat or an equivalent application to create the document.

  • After reopening Firefox does not remember which desktop was used for each window. Can you help, please.

    I'm using two displays and several desktops on my Mac (OS X 10.9.4).
    When I need to restart Firefox, it remembers to open windows from last session in correct display, but does not remember which desktop was used for each window. So when the application starts, it opens all windows on a desktop which is currently active instead of reopening them on desktops used during the last session. How to fix the issue?

    Hi Nerva,
    Thank you for your question, there is a add on I have been recommended to custom set up of opening windows in new monitors. It's called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master].
    However, in regards to the session remembering which monitor the window was open in, in the profile folder there is a file that stores window positions and dimensions. It is called localstore.rdf.
    Please stay tuned for more investigation, as there are definitely bugs on file for similar issues. Pinpointing it is the hard part.

  • Firefox does not load random websites. Using a 3.6 or later version, with an XP OS.

    My Dad's laptop is using XP OS.
    He's been using Firefox quite a bit, until recently (about a month ago or more) when we go to any random website, it does not load. All it shows is a blank page and at the bottom bar it says "Done".
    But after refreshing it multiple times (and I mean A LOT of times) it either loads it or does not.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Create PDF From Web Page Does Not Create Image Maps Properly

    I have a website that contains image maps. When I "Create PDF From Web Page", these image maps are not rendered properly. From what I can tell, this is a BUG within Acrobat, and I'm hoping that people can confirm this for me.
    I created a test page at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/. I placed the images maps my manually coding the coordinate information, so the maps are PRECISELY placed exactly over the squares. Each image map navigates to an anchor corrisponding to the number on the red square.
    When I created the PDF using the "Create PDF From Web Page" feature, the image maps are rendered improperly. This file can be viewed at http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest.pdf. To view the outlines of the image maps, please select "Tools" -> "Advanced Editing" -> "Link Tool". You can see the outlines are substantially incorrect.
    Please confirm that other can replicate this problem. Any solution to this issue would be very helpful!

    I tested this in Acrobat X and the exact same issue occurs
    http://www.quantumdynamix.net/clients/image-map-test/ImageMapTest-AcrobatX.pdf
    This has to be considered a legatimate bug, especially since IMAGE MAPS is listes as one of the supported HTML features via the help files

  • Firefox does not allow me to select "use adobe acrobat (in firefox)"

    I cannot select it, but saving the files saves my preference. If I select firefox from other, it just goes back to "ask me". I want to get it to open pdf files in the same window.

  • Firefox does not load Facebook games properly. Part of the game is missing.

    When I game on Facebook, part of the game screen is missing and I cannot play it.

    I have Windows XP, and have NO plans on changing because there's nothing wrong with it. But the columns on Facebook Home Page and Facebook Profile page are all to the right. Please, give us an easy solution. This technical crap does the average lay person who is NOT a computer genius a horrible time trying to figure out what the heck you are saying that will resolve the issue. Please...just write a plug in or something so we can download it and be done with it.

  • Firefox does not find my wireless HP 6500 printer.

    Running Firefox version 9.0.1 (Just now upgraded from 8.0.1) on a Windows 7 PC. Just installed a HP Officejet 6500A wireless printer. Printer works fine from Chrome, IE and Microsoft Word, but Firefox apparently cannot find it. Print command does nothing. Print Preview command generates a note stating that a printer can not be found. I no longer have the HP Deskjet 970Cse or the Cannon MP210 printers installed on my computer.

    With a new printer installation, reset the '''''print.print_printer''''' preference. You may also need to reset the print.printer_''(printer name)''_ preferences shown as '''user set'''.

  • I am trying to use a website that requires that my computer have the lastest version of Java, which I have updated and installed, however Firefox does not recon

    I am trying to use a website that requires that my computer have the latest version of Java, which I have updated and installed Java 7 Update 51 (64-bit), however Firefox does not recognize that I even have Java on my computer. My computer is 64-bit
    When I run "Verify Java Version" it show nothing is installed... but it is, I know that for a fact because it shows in my "Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features".
    When I go back to the Java Download page, the following message is visible:
    "We have detected you may be viewing this page in a 32-bit browser. If you use 32-bit and 64-bit browsers interchangeably, you will need to install both 32-bit and 64-bit Java in order to have the Java plug-in for both browsers."
    My question is this:
    Is there a way to change my Firefox browser from 32-bit to 64-bit.... because it appears that this is way Java is not functioning properly?

    Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
    No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

  • PDF printer not working, does not create PDF

    I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Adobe Acrobat XI.
    Whenever I try to print a PDF though the printer function the PDF printer opens for a few seconds and no PDF is created.
    Here is an example of the report when I open a file with in the Acrobat Distiller:

    Can anybody help?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the answere.
    I still have the above mentioned problem when trying to print a pdf from a pdf (to reduce size) and when trying to print a pdf out of Indesign ( I dont want to use the export to pdf function because of file size).
    When tryiing to print a pdf from a pdf through adobe acrobat pro the printer menue opens. When I click on printer I can choose the option choose 'save as Adobe PDF' but then the error message appears that saving as a pdf while printing is not supported. That I should choose file - save.  Is that the only way to do it? The file gest bigger instead of smaller, even when I use a low resolution for the pictures. Can't I print  PDFs as PDF somehow through the Distiller.
    When I try to print a PDF with Indesign the Indesign-printing window appears. When I click on the printer and choose 'save as PDF' the Indesign simply jumps back to ints own printer window and ignores my choice. Therefor it does not seem to be possible to print a pdf from Indesign through the PDF printer?!
    Thankful for any comments.

  • Opening PDF files using preview on some PDF file result in the content not displaying properly. The file I tried to look at has pictures and text. The pictures are displayed ok but the text is shown as pixalated boxes. The same file opens ok via a PC.

    Solutions please. Accessing PDF files online using preview normally works ok. However there are a clutch of files on the mothers union web site that although can be opened, present text as pixalated boxes. The pictures contained in the documents are however displayed OK. I experience the same problem on my Imac and my wifes laptop that runs Lion. The same site has other PDF files that can be opend OK. If I access the same problem files using a PC laptop running microsoft windows, they are opened OK with the text displayed as it should be. This is driving me mad....

    Yes. Word 2007. (You can see it in Preview if you do ⌘I or choose Tools > Show Inspector.) And it's the transparency issue. The three pics attached show the Jan 2012 newsletter (a) in Preview, (b) in Acrobat Pro, (c) again in Preview, after I saved it in Acrobat, flattening the transparency.
    For you, the solution is to use Adobe Reader -- with due note taken of

    For them, I don't know. Presumably, they wish max compatibility for their newsletter, but I really don't know how Office 2007 generates PDF. Maybe they should check transparency settings and flatten before generating PDF? Or perhaps save as PDF v1.4 instead of PDF v1.5? I would use Distiller, but perhaps they can't afford it.

  • Firefox does not print. I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING PROBLEMS ONCE AND FOR ALL!

    Firefox does not print. Mozilla doesn't seem to care to fix this problem, ignoring the numerous customer requests and pleadings for help. At this point, I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I honestly think the OP is making the correct decision to quit using Firefox due to all the print-related problems and Bugs that are in Firefox, '''that Mozilla doesn't want to fix'''. And there are more Bugs that affect only the Mac-platform (like the one where the user has to open a page in a new window for the 2nd web page printed from that window), than there are on Windows and Linux.
    Users having to reset hidden preferences repeatedly isn't a cure.
    The same 3 print-related Bugs in 2002 that caused me to take 6 months to switch over to ''Phoenix'' from IE 5.5, '''are still present in Firefox!''' I print nothing from Firefox these days without viewing Print Preview first, then about 10% of the time I do a "View in Opera" and do a Print Preview there - which shows a good print out 95% of the time (which IMO shows the page isn't at fault), and print it from Opera.
