How do I make .pdf safari pages, download automatically?

I don't know when it began, whether it is the internet, or Safari 3, but now many websites take you to pages that are pdf pages. This is great if you want to view the file/item which is in pdf format, but don't want to download it to you computer and create clutter on your hard drive. However, I have found that for some reason it takes eons for my computer to load pages that are pdf pages. And sometimes, the spinning beach ball does not stop spinning and I have to quit Safari.
Questions:
- Why is it so slow to load?
- Is there a way I can get web pages that are pdf pages to load more quickly?
- Alternatively, is it possible, when I click on a link that will be a pdf page, to override it loading in the Safari browser and instead have it download to my desktop? This is how these pages/pdfs used to work for me in the past and it's a system that works well for me.
Thanks.

Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
Quit and restart Safari.

  • How do I make PDFs into Pages?

    need to take pdfs and make pages

    Hi pages,
    Do I understand that you want to convert a PDF file to a Pages document? Unless Pages can open PDF files, there's no way to go directly from PDF to Pages. But, I understand that Pages can open Word documents, so you could convert a PDF file (using ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack) to Word format, and then open that Word document in Pages.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I print a Safari page without the links being printed and cover other text?

    How can I print a Safari page without the links being printed and covering other text?

    Try printing the page as PDF.
    From your Safari menu bar click File > Print > Save As PDF then print the PDF file.
    If you don't want to do it that way, reset the print system.

  • Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other comp

    Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other computers who have adobe pro installed?

    your right.. i ment acrobat pro :-)
    my problem is that i use the PDF printer to export CAD drawings as PDF´s.
    As it is now, there are some pre-defined page sizes in the print settings, and i know i can add custom pages manually one at a time.
    What i want is to copy the list of my danish standard page sizes, and use them on my other versions of acrobat.
    Its like 70 different sizes, and i have them made manually on my current computer, but i hope its possible to copy the list to other computers.
    Maby its some script where i can define the sizes, and then copy to another computer. Im just not that much of a computer genius :-)
    Hope i got through this without to many spelling mistakes...
    Thanks for helping.

  • How can I make a decorative page border in Pages?

    How can I make a decorative page border in Pages?

    Hi Janet,
    I suppose that you are asking how to include a decorative border of your design into a pages document. How you design that border is rather out of the range of these discussions. So, let's say that you have a graphic that approximates a picture frame and has the required dimensions to frame your content.
    If you want to have the graphic appear on every page, Drag or Insert > Choose, to incorporate your design in to the document. The position it as you want it, and then Arrange > Send to Background and Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
    If there is more than one section in your document, there may be more considerations, but if you do this at the outset in the creation of your document, the design of the first section will flow to subsequent sections.
    Regards,
    Jerry

    how can I make a intro page for my website, then after the intro has run make the page automatically change to my website's home screen

    You can do this using a meta refresh but the problem is you have to add it to the html file for the page very time you publish changes.
    A better way is to create a splash page and upload it to the server outside of the folder produced by iWeb. Example HERE.
    The meta refresh is added to the head section of the html file...
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="32;url=http://www.domain.about.com/Page-Name.html">
    The delay time in seconds is marked in blue and the URL to the redirect page is in red.

  • How do I make a facebook page with a premade template? [was:help]

    how do I make a facebook page with a premade template i bought on etsy? I have asked this 10 times now In all diffrent section here. I guess I dont even know how to ask a question in photo shop?? I am very glad I am only on the trial. This is soooo NOT user friendly!

    Tip for a forum newbie: please use a descriptive subject header to post your query so we have some idea of what your question relates to.
    "Help" tells us nothing. Try "how do I make a facebook page with a premade template?"
    You've posted this question 3 times in 3 different forums but we've no idea which Adobe software you're using or where your template is from. There is a reply in the Photoshop forum asking for more information.

  • How can I make two half page documents?

    I have a full page flyer.  I want to make it half page with two flyers.  I tried making two columns and cutting the page in half, but the borders are wrong.  How can I make two half page documents?

    You can do it with columns, just make the gutter twice the width of the outside margins.
    However being a Flyer why not just create one on the left using Textbooks and Shapes then group that and option shift drag it sideways to the right to make a copy on the right?

  • How to get the Pdf's page size?

    Hi,
    Anyone can tell me how to get the pdf's page size with js in acrobat?
    Regards
    Goldbridge

    The page size will not always necessarily conform to a standard size such as A4 - PDFs can be defined at any abstract size a user wants. Having a function that only output standard sizes would greatly limit its ability, so it was left up to the user to calculate whether or not the returned rectangle is a standard size as that satisfies many more workflows than the opposite method.
