How do I download pdfs from link without opening first in Safari?

I am running OS 10.7.2 and browse with Safari 5.1.2.  I download PDF files routinely for my work.  In previous versions of Safari (with OS 10.5.x), clicking a link to download a PDF led to the PDF immediately downloading and then opening in Adobe Acrobat Pro.  Since upgrading to current system and Safari, I can no longer do that.  Clicking on PDF links opens in Safari, and then I have to find and click Safari's download button, and then I have to go to the downloads folder and click to open the document.  Does anyone know how to bypass this opening feature and get Safari to just download and then get the pdf to instantly open like it used to?  I am finding myself moving to Firefox, which I don't like as well and don't know as well, because it doesn't interfere with PDF docs. 
Any solutions out there?

Thanks for the suggestion, but those are the settings I'm already using.  Unfortunately, the various websites I visit don't respond uniformly to control-click, and choosing to download a file from that menu often just downloads an HTML of the page rather than the pdf doc itself.  I find shift-option-click works more often than other key combos, but I still have to then go to the downloads folder and manually open the file. 
You may be right about Firefox being my only option.  Thanks for the suggestions.

  • How do I download PDFs from Safari by default?

    I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window. I know it can be done, worked before I installed a new drive. But I don't remember what to do to make downloading the default.
    Thanks!

    I want to download PDFs by default (to my downloads folder) rather than showing up in a browser window.
    What version of Mac OS X are you running, and what version of Safari? There is no default behavior to download a PDF file; you can only do that by Control-clicking on the link for the file and choosing to download it.

  • Print PDF from web without opening A.R.

    Hi, I'm looking for a way to print PDF documents (generated in Crystal Reports 11 on a IIS web server in PDF / ASP.NET Framework 2.0) on client's machines and printers (without opening an Acrobat Reader, but with print options dialog).
    Is it possible to make this issue using Adobe Acrobat SDK?

    For security reasons (eg. so that malicious web servers can't just start your printer a printing...), it is IMPOSSIBLE for the document to NOT show...
    Any document that is on the web can be saved on the client's machine - that's the beauty (or not?) of the web and the protocols involved. If you wish to prevent misuse - be sure to use DRM.

  • I can't download pdfs from links

    Ever since I upgraded my Macintosh from system X.3 to X.4, I can't download a pdf that is accessed via a hyperlink in a web page. I can download a pdf attachment that I've received as e-mail, but if I click a link with a URL that ends in <PDF>, I just get a new, empty tab.

    Is it that you are not able to view pdf in Safari? What exactly is the problem?

  • How do I create PDF from word without bookmarks?

    We have several forms that we create to PDF using "Combine" - "Merge Files Into A Single PDF" using Acrobat 9.0. Sub-bookmarks are created for each of these forms off of the headers in word. Is there a way (some setting) I can create the PDF withOUT getting the sub-bookmarks? We create several for each meeting and have 196 meetings a year. I realize I can highlight them all and delete them for each main bookmark, but would like to not have to do that as we have several main bookmarks.

    It would be best to give a link to an HP document you are having problems with.  Someone could try to duplicate the problem.
    What program are you using to print the document?
    Try a different program for printing.  Preview or Acrobat reader
    Are you saying other pdf documents print fine?
    Here are some ideas…
    I'd look first at your page setup options.
    file > page setup...
    Secondly, when you get the print window, look around at the various print options.

  • How can i download music from my computer to my ipod nano without erasing music already there?

    how can i download music from my computer to my ipod nano without erasing music already there?

    If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
    Good luck.

  • How do I keep downloaded pdfs from automatically opening in Acrobat on a MAC?

    I am downloading pdfs from FETCH on a MAC and they are automatically opening in Acrobat. How do I download and not have them open? There are literally hundreds of them.
    Thanks,

    Hi Brian,
    The Safari web browser contains a feature, enabled by default, which causes all files considered "safe" to be automatically opened once they have finished downloading. Safari considers the following file types to be safe:
    - Pictures
    - Movies
    - Sounds
    - PDF files
    -Text documents
    - Disc images (.dmg files)
    - Other archive types
    Although it can be convenient while enabled, this can be a very dangerous feature when it comes to your security. It can be disabled in a few easy steps.
    > Open your Safari web browser by clicking on the Safari icon in the dock.
    > Click on Safari in your Safari menu, located at the top of your screen. When the drop-down menu appears, choose Preferences.
    > Select the General tab from the Preferences window, which is now overlaying your browser window.
    You will now see a check box labeled "Open 'safe' files after downloading", located near the middle of the Preferences window. If this box is checked, click on the check mark and verify that it is no longer active.
    Click on the red circle/x located in the top left hand corner of the Preferences window to complete the process. You will now be returned to your main browser window.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • 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.
