How can I download pdf/epub/...-files in the browser?

Hi!
I use owncloud to store ebooks, music etc and I often download ebooks from gutenberg.org.
With Android I used to save them on my sdcard in case I use a train and the internet connection fails or being on a plane or the like.
With FFOS 1.3 this is not possible. The browser only offers to "open link in new tab", but not to download the files.
I see the pretty obvious workaround to download it to a desktop computer and via usb to ext-sdcard.
But I think there should be a way to do this more 'naturally'.
Kind regards
Stefan

I tried to reproduce the problem with a ZTE Open and FFOS 2.0.
On Gutenberg.org, I tried the "download ebup" link. It redirected me to another page, but could not load it. In the meanwhile, I was notified the download had started, but it never completed. Then, checking "Settings > Downloads", I found out that the download was actually stuck on 0kb. By using the stop and retry functions in the Downloads panel, though, the download actually started and successfully completed.
In the end I managed to download the file, but things clearly did not work as they should.

  • How can I download PDF's

    I cannot download PDF documents. I get an error message; i.e., The document “1-15_HowtoSellWithoutSalesy.pdf” could not be exported as “1-15_HowtoSellWithoutSalesy.pdf”.
    This is a recent event since I installed the newer version of Adobe. Any thoughts?

    Actually, I have two websites: Safari and Firefox. It doesn't matter which website I'm logged in to, I get the same message. As for downloading from the Adobe website, how do I do this? I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to completely uninstall Adobe and reinstall the latest version. Is this a good idea or will I lose the PDF's I was once able to download? As I said, this problem has been going on for the last 6 weeks, when I downloaded the latest version of Adobe.
    Thanks for your continuing help.

    That is not a Reader message. It is a message being generated by the website. They may have a javascript or something trying to prohibit the download of the pdf to your computer. Try downloading a pdf from the Adobe website and see what happens.

  • How can I download itunes when I get the following errors...have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7

    How can I download itunes when I get the following errors  ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
    This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
    Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

  • How can I download Adobe Proto files as a zip?

    Hi.
    I was wondering why I can only download Adobe Proto files as file type "Proto/.pro" I read that it would be possible to download a zip of the original via Creative Cloud giving me the css, jquery etc. of the wireframe.
    It would be great if someone could help me out and let me know how it's done as I have no use for ".pro" files..
    kind regards

  • How can I un-pdf a file?

    I made a pdf of a file which I can no longer find.

    How can I un-pdf the file?

    I made a pdf of a file which I can no longer find. I do have the pdg. How can I un-pdf the file?
    Erhm ... you made a PDF and you have a PDG? You mean you have a PDF? And you want to go from the PDF you have to the Pages document you do not have?
    If that is indeed what you want, then what you want is not possible. The source data structures of your Pages document are not part of your PDF.
    What you can do, though, is to try to extract the Unicode plain text from your PDF. Then you can place that Unicode plain text back into a new Pages document.
    For illustrations and images in your PDF you can place the pages with these illustrations and images in your Pages document, and then crop the pages to leave only the illustrations and images you want, leaving out the typographic composition.
    Best,

  • How can I download a .xlsx file using Numbers?

    I'm new into Mac & I have no clue in how can I open a excel file .xlsx in a Mac...when I tried it showed the file was corrupeted. Anybody? Please.

    It may in fact be a corrupted file, in which case you are out of luck. You could try opening it with LibreOffice and if that works, save the file as .xls and try the saved file with Numbers.

  • How can I download two jnlp files by sequence?

    Hi,
    I want to download two jnlp files by sequence.
    When I click a link,first download a file,finish the operation.
    then download another.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks.

    Why do you want to do this ?
    I don't think that could work that way... But it is possible to reference others JNLP files inside a JNLP file.
    Example in my own jnlp file:
    <jar href="jte4.jar" main="true"/>
    <extension name="JTDS JDBC Driver" href="jtds.jnlp"/>

  • How can i download an Eps file on my ipad?

    Can anybody help me download an eps file on my ipad?

    As Julian said the .eps file format isn't supported so you can't download it and open it on the iPad. Maybe you could have a designer enlarge the .eps file in Illustrator so that when it is saved to the .jpg format it will not look as blurry when you enlarge it. The designer could try saving the file as a .pdf as well and that may help with the resolution issue. I know nothing about Keynote and if you can even place a .pdf file in the presentation but that may be the best solution if you can.

  • How can I download a .swf file?

    Hi everyone!
    I'm trying to make an Objective-C application (using Apples Cocoa framework) to download .swf files off the internet.
    All the my program requires ia the URL address of the .swf file, (http://media.y8.com/games/content/Bowser_Ball.swf, for an instance). And then you're supposed to click the "Start download" button to start downloading the .swf file. But how could I actually download the file, and save it to a file on the users disc?
    What would you suggest? - Please post a snippet or a link for reference .

    Ahh thanks, I got it downloading the .swf files now, and I can play them without any problems what so ever!
    My only concern now is the user interface!
    I have this message box in which it is supposed to print "Downloading and saving SWF file.." and then start the animation of a NSProgressIndicator and then print "Downloaded and saved!" and stop the animation of the NSProgressIndicator once the files is downloaded & saved.
    But it's like it's downloading and saving first, and then starting and stopping the animation etc, etc.. so I never actually get to see the animation & text updates? - How can this be changed? - Here's a link to my Controller.m class:
