How do I download PDF files from Safari 5.0.5?
I am unable to open PDF files. All I get is a blank black screen. I now download PDFs into my computer from the internet (with mixed success), which is several steps more than has ever taken me in the past.
Since finding this problem I have updated the Adobe Reader and run system updates today, to no avail.
Adobe reports that there is a compatibility issue between Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader. They offer several solutions none of which has worked for me.
(http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/safari-5-1-incompatible-reader.html). Is updating Safari going to help me, or are there other solutions?
Hi..
Go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash..
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If you have trouble finding that file..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go

How to save/download pdf files from safari?
I have some PDF files that I need to download from the internet/Safari. How do I do that? There is a button that I can click on my PC using Firefox but I can't find anything in Safari of my iMac. I would appreciate very much if someone can help me. Thanks.
Thank you, Niel. Do I move the cursor outside the window or still within the window? I tried many times and couldn't find the right spot.
Barry, you are right. I was going to do that but I want to learn how to use it with Safari. -

I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!
The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :
605124.pdf.html
Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
Use this link to download it automatically:

I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.

How do i download pdf files onto a flash drive from my windows phone?
How do I transfer PDF files from my phone to a flash drive?
As with any other type of file; either plug your phone into your computer so it appears as a portable hard drive and copy them across, or use the Acrobat.com cloud storage tool in Adobe Reader Mobile to upload from your phone, then download to your desktop computer using Adobe Reader.

Downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites U-R-G-E-N-T
Hi,
Since last year I encounter regular (close to 100%) problems downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites (for sure web-sites from which I could troubleless download PDF files in the past) The result on my HDD : 0KB pdf file ! = An empty file
This is very anoying and I am sure I am not the only one who encounters this.
Please review your procedures and make this possible again.
Note: I uninstalled Adobe Reader, reset Safari, closed Safari, re-installed Adobe Reader : no results !
THANKS FOR HELPING ASAP !
I travel a lot and have to bring my files with me as internet is not always available in the countries where I work
ChristianHi Christian,
I've had problems for ages with this but I did notice that after I went through the reinstall with Apple yesterday I now have a couple of different options that are working.
Yesteday I uninstalled reader, restarted my computer and then reinstalled again. I didn't think it had worked for me but after some extra experimentation I have discovered a couple of things.
On some websites eg: https://www.gatewaycu.com.au/uploadedFiles/PDF/Forms/Quick%20Debit%20Authority.pdf
it is coming up with a toolbar (I suppose it's called) at the top of the PDF and it is allowing me to print and save to my desktop, open the pdf and print YEAH.
Also with another website the PDF is showing up differently. eg http://media.wix.com/ugd/99e891_6110f024d956431abb7b66dd24f19251.pdf
This shows up like it used to but the difference is that if you try to save as or print throught the safari options like I used too it doesn't work, BUT if you hover down the bottom of the PDF it brings up a bar type box (sorry I don't know the technical word for this) then you can print, save to desktop, documents etc and then print from there too.
YEAH! It looks like (I hope) that the problem is solved. You have to go about it in a couple of different ways depending on the website, but hey, I don't think that's so bad as long as I can actually print my PDF's. It's better that not being able to access any of them which is what's been happening for the last few months.
I hope this helps you guys out and if you have any problems just let me know and I'll try and explain it better for you.
Cheers

How may I transfere PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD
How may I transfer PDF files from my MacBook Pro to my IPAD
There are a number of methods, including via synch to iTunes on a computer and emailing them to yourself.
I prefer using DropBox, which allows me to store them in the cloud and download only when needed, and send them to the app I choose (plus I do not synch my iPad to itunes). I typically use GoodReader or Adobe Reader, but any app that can read PDFs is typically available in the menu. You would need to install DropBox on the Mac as well as download the app on the iPad. Both are free. -

I am trying to download a file from Safari. It doesn't work. It always comes up with a notification saying, 'Safari could not download this file'. Why does it do that? More importantly, what should I do? how do I download it?
Thanks to the users who reply to this. It will help me a lot.What type of file is it?
If safari can't natively open the file, or there is no App installed thatr can, it won't download. -

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer. When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button. I do not have a Facebook account. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Are temporary files the same as the cache? It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache. How do I do that?
Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

How do you apply a vector mask to a folder in Photoshop CS6?
The ways you apply vector masks in CS6 is different than in CS5. I knew how to apply a vector mask to a folder of layers in CS5. I cannot figure out how to do it in CS6. So my question is: How do you apply a vector mask to a folder in Photoshop CS6?
