How do i force safari 7 to always download all PDFs

Whenever i click a pdf, i want it to merely download to my downloads directory. until mavericks this was a matter of simply setting a boolean operator, but now that operator does not work and the code in the pdf file displays on the screen instead of just downloading. I want it to just download. Any ideas?

The problem with putting it at the footer of each page is that it would either cover content or, if placed after expanding page size, would be cropped out if the user does not shrink to fit. Having a floating comment bubble on every page would also cover content or could be printed without comments & markups.
The issue is this:
"...User must also ensure that such cover page or other means will print out in the event that the person accessing the material chooses to pring out the material or any part thereof;"
Its frustrating to see that for paid rights to use their copyrighted material, that they would demand something that is impossible to uphold. The other issue is that the content on the cover page is enough that it needs a whole page.
Thanks for your advice, but I need to make the impossible happen. After all, if you put a young person in front of the magic box, magic will happen... :-\

In Lion, how do I force Safari to always download and open PDFs in Preview?

I tried to do the "defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES" in Terminal.app, but Safari still opens and renders PDFs in place.
Look:
defaults read com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport

Anyone know how to make this work?
OS 10.7.1, Safari 5.1, i5 MBP

Hi. Thank you for the tips. option-click on the download link does indeed download the PDF to the Downloads folder, but then I have to go open it in Preview myself.
In 10.6, I had my Safari app prefs tweaked (using the defaults command in the terminal) that would make Safari download a PDF and hand it off to Preview for viewing automatically.
Now, even if I do the same defaults write thing, PDFs still open in place in Safari.
Did Apple remove this from Safari 5.x? Is it simply a bug that got introduced in 5.x?

How can I enable Safari's ability to display pdf files?

Hi there,
In Safari 4.0.3 (MacBook Pro) pdf links open as a dark grey block. That is, instead of the intended text, I see just dark gray.
Control-click allows me to save the file to the desktop in which case Preview can open them with no problem.

HI,
If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, launch Adobe Reader. From the Menu Bar, click Adobe Reader/Preferences. Select the Internet category...the top option is the one you want. Uncheck the box to make sure Adobe doesn't keep making itself the default reader.
You might also need to open /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and delete Adobe's PDF viewer plug-in.

How do I force Safari to remember site logins/passwords?

Hi.
I'm using a new Mini running Mountain Lion and Safari 6.0.5. I installed the computer fresh, rather than migrating from my old computer (2007 Mini), as I was dragging a lot of dead weight in settings, preferences, and cache. Safari DID acquire my bookmarks from the cloud on first use.
I am frustrated that some of my registered websites/passwords have not been saved; they are not listed in the preferences. Is there any way to force Safari to store the sites? Is it possible to migrate ONLY those settings from my old computer?

Just in case there any outdated keychains ..
Open Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Type in the name of the sites you want Safari to remember passwords for then delete the current keychain for each one.
Back to Safari. Navigate to a site you deleted the old keychain for.
Login with your username and password. Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.
To make sure Safari syncs Bookmarks with iCloud, open System Preferences > iCloud
Make sure Safari is selected.

How do you create a link to download a PDF file?

I'd like to create links so that when clicked, a PDF file associated with the link will automatically be downloaded. I've created a folder where I've stored all of the PDF files, but where on my web host do I put the folder--is it part of the published iWeb folder or should it be kept separate? (I'm using a 3rd party web host, Lunarpages.com)
Second, to create the links, I've written "Download Page" on for each link, highlighted the words, then enabled it as a hyperlink with the inspector. However, this changes "Download Page" to the name of the PDF file. How can I keep the words "Download Page" without changing it to the name of the file? Also, is this the correct way to have a PDF file automatically downloaded when "Download Page" is clicked?
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi there,
While I do not use iWeb, I do use PDF files on my website.
I first create a new folder to hold my PDF files and upload this to my website. When I create and upload PDF files I will upload to this folder. When someone wants to view this files, all they need to do is click on the link I created. After clicking on link, if the user is on a PC, Acrobat Reader is automatically used to view the file or if they are on a Mac, Preview is usually the default viewer (if the they are using Safari, it will simply open in Safari). Just having the extension on yourfile.pdf will cause this and you will not need to do anything else on your end.
FOR EXAMPLE: Download Sample PDF - try it on different browsers and PC's
As far as 'download page', it automatically starts as soon as you click on link. If you are talking about 'saving' the user will always have that option on their end...

How can I get FF to always open all of my homepages?

I am using FF v.3.6.10 & XP with Service Pack 3. I am always conscious of installing the latest updates available for all of my programs.
I use 4 homepages but occasionally when I open FF it only remembers my first homepage (which incidentally is http://www.google.com.au/firefox?client=firefox-a&rlz=1R0GGLL_en-GB). In an attempt to solve this issue, I uninstalled FF from the ‘Add or Remove Programs’ shortcut in the Control Panel and then downloaded the newest version straight from the internet. When this didn’t work, I uninstalled FF again but in Safe Mode, shut the computer down, after 5secs I restarted the computer in normal mode and then I re-installed FF. But the problem has still persisted.
Also, I have noticed in the Privacy settings the following are unchecked: Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session, Remember search and form history & Clear history when Firefox closes.
Is there anything else that I can do so that FF continues to always open all of my homepages?

Thanks for your help. After reading those links and slowly working through the instructions I came to the conclusion that the Google Toolbar for Firefox 7.1.20100830W was the problem. It must of corrupted the localstore.rdf file in my Firefox profile. I then used the unofficial 'googlebar 0.9.20.03' and I haven't had any problems since. The instructions were easy to follow even for a novice like me. Cheers.

How do I avoid having to re-download all the software updates for SUS after migrating to lion, I have all the snow leopard/Lion updates saved to disk already

I have recently upgraded from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server, all works well so far.
I had Snowleopard Server supplying the updates to my Snowleopard and Lion clients with no problems.
I now need to get Lion Software update server running on the Lion Server and would like to avoid having to re download all the updates from Apple
(The updates are nearly 50Gig and my ISP limit is only 100gig for the month).
How do I copy in, an rebuild the updates from my Snowleopard server backup?
I have tried but I think I ran into a permissions problem.
I'm not that experienced yet with the command Line/terminal but I'm getting there.
Any help would be appreciated.

It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes. I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved. What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader. When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista. It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
Take care :-)

How do I force Safari to use Windows Media Player as my default WMV player.

I am subscribed to a educational program called "the Epson Online Experience", and the entire program is in Windows Media Player videos. I was using Safari and Mac OS 10.3.9 with no problem what so ever, until Quick Time updated itself. Now I can't get WMP to play at all in Safari, or in Camino or IE either. The browsers just keep trying to play the link in Quick Time.
I did download Flip4Mac, but with no luck. The links now appear to open, appear to be downloading the buffer, but will stay on that screen for hours if I allow it.
Does anyone know how to make Windows Media Player the default media player in Safari? or for that matter, in Camino (or if I MUST, I guess I would be willing to try it in IE too if I could make it work.
Thanks for the help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions. Your post seems to have been lost in a sea of Safari problems.
Usually items triggering media players create a file, which is downloaded into your system. Check your download folder for the file. If you can't find it, access the same file again via Safari.
Once you locate the file on your HD, click on it. Then, command key + I will bring up the info panel for the file (or simply select "more info" in the preview panel if you're in the finder's column mode). Go to the bottom where you'll see "open with". There, you see "quicktime" listed as the app. for opening the file. Click on the drop down menu and find the Windows player and select it.
Back to the info. panel - select "change all". This will revert all files of this type on your HD, plus future files to the Windows Media Player. Double click on the file to activate the video. Future selections in Safari will automatically open the correct media player. One other note, for the player to open automatically, you must check "open safe files after downloading" in your Safari Preferences>General panel.

How do I force Safari history to open in new tab instead of reusing current

By default, Safari reuses the current tab when opening the history results, which forces a reload of that page when history is closed. Is there a way to force history to open in a new tab of its own?

Is there any way to make this the default behavior without relying on a modifier key?

Is there anyway to force Safari 5.1 in Lion to download all PDF files? by default?

Right clicking isn't a workable solution to the problem as a number of the PDF files I deal with are linked to by pop-up lists where right clicking doesn't work. I also generally need to download a number of the files on the list. Safari's current behavior is very frustrating. I'd much rather just have them download in the background and view them later in preview at my leisure.
Under Snow Leopard under you could do this with the terminal command defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES (thanks to iBod for letting me know this at the time) upon upgrading to Safari 5.1 the command doesn't appear to work.
I'm hoping there is a different terminal command or perhaps a utility I can buy that will allow the prefered behavior.

Thanks JimHdk, sorry it took me so long to reply. My broadband decided to stop working. For anyone else, the above works but reader view is available on most websites.

How can I force Safari v.6.1 to Save passwords for sites that request passwords NOT BE Saved"?

Since the last OS X update when Safari was updated to version 6.1, I am having problems with passwords not being saved from specific sites that request that passwords "not be saved".
Example: Adobe.com
I did not have problem with Safari 5.1.
When I go to Safari Preferences and "click on box" "Allow Autofill even for websites that request passwords not be saved", a pop up box opens and refers me to "SECURITY & PRIVACY" indicating that a "SCREENLOCK" must be engged to allow for this action.
I have my firewall on.
I don't understand what they are requesring me to lock & how to do it.
Anyone who understands what I am being asked to do -or- how I can re-enable password saving, please email me.
Thanks,
<Email Edited by Host>

Actually, Linc's reply is EXACTLY the answer that is required.
If you go to the setting he mentions and enable the password after screen saver or sleep, then Safari 6.1 will allow you to save all the autofill login information you like, even the stuff for sites that request not to save them.
