How can I open a pdf document after downloading is complete and there is no screen reference to file name?

I'm having a problem trying to locate a downloaded PDF file.  I'm using Windows 7, and have Adobe Reader XI installed.  From a given site some downloads  will appear with a listing of individual pages within the document, or there will be a window appearing that has a series of icons to print or scroll, etc.  At other times, from the same source & type of document, I will get a representatrion of doanload progress, then a "DONE" when completed.  There is no notification anywhere on my screen as to file name or where to look for this download.  I even go into "Documents", downloads, recent places, etc. to try and find a listing, to no avail. I also open Adobe Reader to see if there is any clue, again, to no avail. Incidentally, when Adobe Reader opens, there isn't any provision for scrolling, yet there appears to be additional  information below the bottom edge of my screen.  I sure would appreciate some help on this problem.

On my Windows 7, with any browser, all downloaded files go into the Downloads folder.
If you can't find your downloaded PDF docs, try a search for *.pdf

  • CAN'T OPEN MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENTS AFTER DOWNLOADING MAVERICK

    I downloaded Maverick OS X 10.9.3 and now I can't open my Microsoft Word documents!  HELP!!
    The message I receive when trying to open a document read:  You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    I wish I knew this before I upgraded to Maverick.  It happened to my iphotos as well but after purchasing new software for iphoto, I have been able to retrieve my photos. 
    I hope I don't have to do the same for my documents.
    Thanks

    I wouldn't recommend buying the boxed version of Office 2011. A new version of Office is coming out in a few months and you'll be stuck with old software. The next version of Office will be subscription only. You can buy Office 365 now and it will automatically upgrade you for free when the new version comes out. This is a monthly fee.
    If paying monthly is not an option for you, you can also look at buying Office 2008. While it's End of Life software like Office 2004 (this means it will receive no further updates) it will run in Mavericks with only a few minor glitches. You might be able to buy Office 2008 at a more reasonable price. Otherwise I would like at LibreOffice or OpenOffice that Esquared mentioned above.

  • How can I open a PDF Document faster?

    I am opening multiple large PDF's that have comments and signatures on them and it takes a very long time for the Plug Ins to load, Ive gone in an removed the Plug Ins I dont need and only kept the few I do to actually comment back and sign the documents, but it still takes a very long time to load and eats up a good amount of my memory.

    Hold down the shift key when starting Acrobat (not sure it works with double clicking on a PDF). The shift key should disable the loading of plugins.

  • How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files.  To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
    Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
    Then copy
    Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
    Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
    It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

    Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
    If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
    Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
    Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
    How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

    Reader cannot convert files to Word. There is an ExportPDF service with its own forum to help with issues to the service. However, converting files to Word is by its very nature an iffy proposition. How well it works depends upon the content of the file and how it was created.

    How can I open a PDF in Safari without the screen turning black?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
    Depending upon your version of OS X and your version of Safari, as detailed in the Adobe help document links below, Adobe pdf documents created with the latest releases may require an (updated free) Adobe plug-in for Safari, or (free) Adobe Reader in order to display properly.

  • How can I open a PDF into an iBooks folder other than PDF folder?

    How can I open a PDF directly into a folder in iBooks other than the PDF folder?  I have different folders made and am currently having to open into the PDF folder and then move to the correct folder. Can I open directly into the needed folder? 

    No, I don't think so. The pdf isn't capable of knowing which folder you would like it to open in – all it knows is that it is a pdf. It's up to you to put it in the appropariate folder.

  • How can I open excel pdf files

    How can I open excel pdf files

    Hi mmart1957,
    Do you have Excel files, PDF files, or PDF files that have been converted to Excel? If you're working with PDF files, you'll need either Reader or Acrobat to open the files. If you have a converted Excel file, then you'll need Excel to open it.
    Best,

    How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
    I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:
    %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 3 0 obj << /Producer (PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 \(Windows XP\)) /CreationDate (D:20110321141052-04'00') >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2551 /Height 3285 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Length 500647 /Filter [/FlateDecode /DCTDecode] >> [...]
    I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
    I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.

    Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
    Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
    If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

    Hello,
    I'm not a specialist, but I think that you could configure these information in the /Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file
    # Aliases: Add here as many aliases as you need (with no limit). The format is
    # Alias fakename realname
    <IfModule mod_alias.c>
        # Note that if you include a trailing / on fakename then the server will
        # require it to be present in the URL.  So "/icons" isn't aliased in this
        # example, only "/icons/"..
        Alias /icons/ "/appli/9IAS/Apache/Apache/icons/"
        Alias /jservdocs/ "/appli/9IAS/Apache/Jserv/docs/"
        Alias /javacachedocs/ "/appli/9IAS/javacache/javadoc/"
