I am no longer able to open or download most PDFs from web pages. I have the pop-up blocker turned off in Preferences.

In recent months I have found that I am unable to download or open PDF documents from web pages. Download links either open a blank page in a new tab or do nothing. PDFs that I am unable to view in Firefox can be viewed and/or downloaded in Safari most of the time and Chrome all of the time so I assume the problem is not my computer or operating system. I recently turned off the pop-up blocker but that did not make a difference. The problem has worsened over the past couple months, it appears that more and more web sites are moving to a different protocol for viewing/downloading PDFs. It used to happen occasionally but now I find that I am unable to view a majority - about 75% - of PDFs. I am using Firefox v18 for Mac with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

hello ahegarty, you could try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ PDF Viewer] addon, for more details also see [[PDF files are blank and can't be downloaded on Mac]].

I have a problem with two PDF's when trying to open them through a link on a web page. The two PDF's open fine with Adobe on my own PC and on the server I have copied it to but when they are opened through a link on a web page (pointing to the server where the PDFs open fine) I get an error 'There was an error processing a page.

Are the pdf linked correctly in the website? Is this a public website? If yes, please post the link here.

How can I solve this problem?

// I got this from an Action (I�m using Struts)
java.sql.Blob file=(java.sql.Blob)request.getAttribute("PDFfile");

After installing Firefox 4 Beta I am no longer able to open my Firefox 3. Even when I double click the firefox.exe in the correct progam folder it continues to open Firefox 4 Beta instead of 3.

Opening from the Programs list doesn't work, from the windows search bar doesn't work, and directly opening the Firefox.exe in the correct program folder doesn't work either.
I only got it to open once: upon first installing Firefox 4 Beta I asked it to pin it to the Windows 7 taskbar (it did not). My Firefox 3 program was still pinned to the taskbar however. So through that button I was able to open Firefox 3. But since then I have unpinned Firefox 3 and have pinned the Firefox 4 Beta to the taskbar instead. Now I can't get it to point back to Firefox 3.

what a pain! However, the solution is to simply install the Add-On "Autofill Forms". I'm not certain why Mozilla didn't automatically install the add-on as most of us rely on this feature. It's definitely not a good enough reason to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version and this version has some neat features

Open and print a PDF from web

I created an application to open a PDF and print it directly on the default printer. This application works if the file is a Windows' network address (example: \\192.168.0.4). But if I put an internet address (URL), the Acrobat Reader presents the following error:
There was an error opening this document. The syntax of the name of the file, folder or name of the volume is incorrect.
The command I'm using is:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe\" /t http: \\192.168.0.4:8082\test\file.pdf \\192.168.0.15\HPLaserJet
There are print directly as a URL?

You need a Smartform, SAPScript, or AdobeForm to be defined for your output. Define an action/method for print, then pass the data to your Form. SmartForms are not bad, as SmartForms generate a Function Module, and are easy to call.
Call the SmartForm Function with PDF output = 'X' (parameter within Output Control I think). Then pass the PDF_DATA[] table (type = TAB_SOLIX) to a new window output .
Don't have the code in front of me, but have done it several times.
Adobe Forms is another good option, but you need Adobe Server, and generally I have found ADOBE to be SLOOOOOWWWWW. I think Steve Jobs might have been on to something with ADOBE -- just my opinion.
And of course, it can be done with SAPSCript, but I would need a whole blog on how to do that.....

I deleted 2 toolbars for a coupon application I recently signed up for. I can no longer view my email, I can a message from Verizon (FIOS) that says the application is blocked. How do I ublock and allow email?

I got a message from Verizon saying that my email application has been blocked and I can't figure out how to unblock this so I can see email. I will not be able to see any response you send, so can you send it to my husband's email: [email protected] Thanks.

Open iPhoto, then under iPhoto on the menu bar, choose Preferences, then Accounts.
Make sure the email account is setup just like in Mail...just checked mine and it had dropped the password (added that back in) and it had changed the port to a default 25 (changed that back to match Mail). Now it works correctly.

I should have added that the iTunes app is not displayed on my phone in order for me to add the apps.

HT1386 when I open itunes (downloaded to new HP), I do not have the left hand menue

Hello,
I have just downloaded iTunes to a new HP computer, with Windows 8. The left hand menu does not show when I open iTunes. Am trying to sync a CD I downloaded into my iPod Nano.
Thanks for any and all assistance!

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

I can not open or download files/PDF's. I keep getting the "Adobe Acrobat_Reader win binaries" message box. How can this be repaired so I can see PDF's? Thanks!

I do not much about computers (old school), but sure could use someone's help! I cannot read anything I try to view from a website. I keep getting a Adobe box popping up that says "Adobe Acrobat_Reader win binaries". Every time I click the "Yes" button, it does nothing. Thanks in advance!

To make a picture, like I did above - go to ACCESSORIES > SNIPPING TOOL. When you click on snipping tool, the screen will gray out. Click and drag your cursor from one corner of the area you want to "snip" to the other - when you release, you will have a JPEG - save it as any other picture, or even email from the snip you just made.
THat doesn't advance the PDFs trouble solution, but it's good to know!

Imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file

Hi ,
I have an imac ( ilamp) 20' connected to ADSL, via Netopia Router which is connected to the Airport extreme connected to imac, for the PB Aluminum Tiger 10.4.5. we both can connect. PB can print via imac/printer.
The imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file, when i enter the pswd which is correct, i get the message "The Airport Admin. Utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station an error occurred while reading the configuration "
My Beau updated Airport to V5.7, this is the first time since the update I've tried to access the conf. file for the imac which i have done numerous times prior.
I have a new base station Ip address 254.128.0 in Airport Utility Admin, on the imac which does not reflect my network settings anywhere, and is not what it use to be, i think, it was one value different than the PB.Base station IP. I do not know how it changed neither one of us changed it.
I tried using the Airport Setup assistant (imac), I received this message:
"Appropriate Airport hardware was bot found on this computer,if you recently
Installed, an Airport card,please shut down your computer$ make sure the card is properly istalled."
The imac does not have a card, nor do i think it needs one.
I would like to be able to at least open the configuration file.
Thank you for reading my post.

Hi Kes, a star for the company !
I made an error on my first post I have a Netopia modem, Airport router.
And so it remains, i guess that there must be an easy answer somewhere
that I am missing that I/we should read, some direction to that would be helpful, and I would be very appreciative.
As I said the password had been set, and it is not an issue of that being forgotten, i wondered if it was changed back to "public" tried, not it.
particular because everytime the imac wakes one of the folders on ( no one else in office just me and boyfriend and it is his work folder he has a copy on the PB.( the folder on desk top has been clicked on, the one with sensitve info, i have backed the folder up and secure trashed it, just in case some security issue hacking has taken place, thats closing the barn door after the fact.
Good luck,w/ this Q.
regards Eme

Since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170) I am no longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro. I am using operation system OSX 10.6.8 and being presented with error message "You have been disconnected - an internal error occurred.

No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8.

My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.
