How Do I Save PDFs in Safari

Safari in Mountain Lion displays PDFs but it doesn't provide any Preview tools to zoom or save. The Help File suggests otherwise. I do have Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader on the Mac, but Preview is the default app to open PDFs when I double click on a file. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Move the cursor around the bottom half of the document near the horizontal center; when it's over the right location, a set of tools will appear.

How do I save PDF files on my iPad to read later?

How can I save PDF files from a website on iBooks to read later?

Open the PDF in Safari and then tap it and you should get a bar at the top of it with 'open in iBooks' as an option - tap that and it should be copied to the iBooks app.

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

How to remove "save pdf file as" dialog in startdoc with adobe acrobat 6

We set up pdfWriter as default printer and hope to generate pdf file with startdoc call. The existing code worked great on Adobe Acrobat 5. However, after we upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 6(complete install), the same code behaved differently. Somehow, startdoc always popped out a "save pdf file as" dialog box and ask for the file path but ignored the input path parameter(the pdf file was generated at the path that user manully input in).
W do not like this dialog box at all and expect silent action. How to remove this annoying dialog box and make the old code working (taking the parameter as pdf file path)?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
I accessed to a website from my uni library computer using my student account and download a pdf file in there. However, that pdf file contains a line of words saying "Accessed by ... University Library on 30 Mar 2007". This line is printed vertically and on the left side of the page.
Do you know how to remove that line? I think the website just embedded that line into the file.
Please help.
Thank you very much.

Can't save PDFs from Safari or Firefox after latest (10.1.3) update

I just installed the latest update, and now when I open a PDF in Safari, I can't save it to my computer. I get a message saying "The document XXX.pdf could not be exported as XXX." When I try to do it from Firefox, the PDF won't even open. I tried deleting the plugins and reinstalling Reader and that didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi mccradks1,
Regarding firefox, update it to version 10.0 or later and use it in 32-bit mode only.
To save pdf's in safari, please try using the save button in toolbar and see if it works.
Toolbar is present in two different forms:
1.
2. This toolbar appears when you hover the mouse at bottom of pdf screen.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Cannot print or save pdf from Safari

When I try to open a page in preview from Safari to save it to my document management program or print it from Preview, I get the error message "Error in printing". Any thoughts?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

How do I view pdfs in Safari for Windows?

Have to use Windows 7 at work. Fortunately, I can at least use Safari as my browser. Unfortunately, I can't view pdfs in Safari for Windows but I can with FireFox and IE. Any way to resolve?

What happens when you try to view a pdf file on Safari? In my experience Safari has never worked well in Windows. Use a browser you know works.
Did you check for a PDF reader plugin for Safari?

How do i save PDFs directly from web browser to iBooks - on a MAC

Is it possible to save PDFs directly from a web browser (any web browser) to iBooks?
it is easy to view and 'open in' iBooks from an iPad/iPhone, but don't see this option on the MAC.
i have resorted to saving the file and emailing it. Once viewed on the 'i-device' it can be easily saved.
iBooks is installed on my MAC and synced, so i can view the library.
I am just missing this direct step - MAC to iBooks
Please help,
Thanks - Rob

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

How do you view PDFs in Safari 5.1, Mac OS 10.7? I have no adobe plug-in in library.

I have read and read of other people with this problem. Some have got satisfaction, but I can't get their solutions to work. Safari either doesn't open a PDF at all, or at least I can't see it...the screen is black. Or sometimes I can see that Quicktime is opening the pdf in safari, but I can't see more than one page of a multi-page document. There are no buttons at the middle of the bottom, I do not have an adobe reader plug-in in the Internet Plug-in folder.
So, either I see nothing of a PDF, or only the first page. All the software is up to date.

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.

How to NOT open pdfs in Safari window.

Hi,
How can I set Safari to download pdfs and not have them automatically open within Safari windows.
Yes, I know that I can right click and save... but one does not always know that a link is a pdf in the first place.
I have just got a new iMac two days ago and In the past, on my previous iMac, I was able to open Terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES .... hit return, quit Terminal and restart Safari.
But I tried that - and still pdfs display in Safari's window..... maybe it is because I was running a slightly older version of Safari on my last Mac.... currently I am using Safari 5.1
I have search this forum and others but after many hours, I cannot find the answer..... anyone any ideas?
Regards
Derro

Thanks for that and yes I am aware of that option, however that is very inconvenient and means that one has to look at the Status bar EVERY time before you click on a link in oorder to determine if it is a link or a pdf..... alll very very tiresome indeed.
What one is looking for is that links will just open as expected and that if, IF , it happens to be a pdf link, that it will download it to the desktop ( or elsewhere) and then open itself in Preview....
Any other ideas....
Regards
Derro
