I ask to open a pdf file on a website but upon doing so, I'm asked where do I want to save it. I just want to open it.

This seems to be a new problem. Never had this issue in recent past.

I wish to upload a PDF file to my website but Firefox 3.6.12 reports it as type application/force-download and NOT application/pdf, WHY?

My website has been running for many months, and as part of the site users can upload PDF documents to share with others. The last successful upload was 5th Nov, but to-day my upload was rejected because Firefox returned the document type as application/force-download rather than application/pdf. Uploads work fine with IE8.
The site uses PHP to check extension and document type and, as I mentioned, has worked fine for many months. I have even attempted to upload the same document that succeeded on the 5th, but again Firefox returns application/force-download as the document type.
Why the change?

Just found a solution.
In Tools, Options, Application Firefox listed TWO options against Adobe Acrobat Documents; the apprliaction/pdf and application/force-download. I have deleted mimeTypes.rdf and allowed Firefox to re-create the file. All works as it should now!

Corrupted content error when trying to download .pdf file from one website.

Unable to download .pdf file from a website, but IE8 provided the download without hesitation.
Both v7 and v8 produced the same message:
"Corrupted content error"
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.
This may be a particular website problem, or it may be common to the particular industry segment and their protocols.
I have followed the help leads and examined the profile for Firefox as used in this instance. Nothing untoward seemed to pop out as a causal factor.

Reworked some of the javascript for our webserver and fixed the problem.

How do I open PDF files on a website from my MacBook Air?

I get only a blank page when I click on a pdf file on a website. (I am able to open in Safari with a right click.)
I downloaded the PDF Viewer, but it didn't help.
I went to TOOLS to disable blocking extensions, but none were listed.

See:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Opening+PDF+files+within+Firefox
Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
PDF files may be found under entries like Portable document or Adobe PDF document.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website

Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website. This only started happening after the latest update of Firefox was installed. Do you have a fix?

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

Can I save pdf files from a website to ipad2?

Hit the link for the PDF-you will be given option to open in safari or iBooks(or any other program able o open PDFs).
That's not what she asked about. She asked about saving PDFs, not just opening them and reading them. While Safari lets you open PDF documents, it does not let you save them. In order to save them, you'll need to use a web browser that permits downloading. I use Atomic Web Browser and can confirm that it does permit downloading and saving of PDF documents.

When you open a pdf in iBooks, it's automatially saved there.

Can I use a pdf file as a website and can it be protected?

If I create a pdf file (that will eventually end up around 600 A4 pages)
how can I use that file alone as a website, please?
Is it also possible to do a pdf file for my website that does not allow the visitor
to save, print or in any way store a copy of my pdf file, please?
Any help here is appreciated as I know only just a little about pdf files.
Many thanks for reaidng me.
Kevin

The PDF can be linked on a web site, but it is not HTML and will not display as a web site. It would ALWAYS be downloaded and opened in a PDF viewer -- Acrobat, Reader, GView, etc. You can not restrict the saving of the PDF. Once it has been opened on a client machine, it has been saved locally. Thus a user would only have to copy the file from the download location -- though many users do not know how to do this. If you want the PDF to be secure in some sense so that it can not be used if copied and such, then you have to use Digital Rights at a substantial cost (in the $1000s).

Unable to view pdf files sourced from websites

Hi
I have previously had no trouble viewing pdf files from various websites, however am now unable to. It appears to be loading and then just comes up with a blank screen.
I am able to view pdf files which have been emailed without problem.
I have removed Acrobat Reader & reloaded but this has not helped.
I am able to view pdfs on our laptop & ipad and the settings appear to be the same.
Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this problem?
Thanks!

For Safari, you need to remove the adobe pdf plugins which Adobe apparently screwed up. You need to remove:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
I think you can "get away with" removing just the second one. But both for sure should allow you to open pdf's in a browser (all browsers).
If you are not using Safari the above will work for other browsers too, although in FireFox, you could just disable the use of those plugins from within Firefox (Tools menu --> AddOns --> Plugins).

I am trying to add a pdf file into my website which must be readable to all but must not be download able to anybody

I am trying to add a pdf file into my website which must be readable to all but must not be download able to anybody.
The document is about motivational topics likes short stories and quotes and the website is [link removed]
If anybody is already using such interface please suggest.

There is absolutely no way to stop any file you put on the internet from being downloaded. That's how the internet works.
Digital Rights Management can control who can OPEN a copy of a file and when. If you are a big company with 5-6 figure budget, this can be interesting.

Ever since I installed Safari 5.1 I can no longer access the pdf files on my website. I keep on getting an error with Webkit2webprocess.exe telling me that LogTransport2.dill was not found. Please help..

Ever since I installed Safari 5.1 on my PC (XP) I can no longer access the pdf files on my website. I have no problems with Chrome and Firefox. I keep on getting a message from WebKit2WebProcess.exe that the LogTransport2.dill was not found. (I HATE PCs...) I tried reinstalling Acrobat 9. I tried reinstalling Safari. I even tried an older version of Safari. Nothing Helped. Others have tried it on their machine, and it worked fine. But I do not know what is the matter with mine. I suspect the root cause is the missing LogTransport2.dill file. But I do not know how to go about getting it. Your help is truly appreciated. My website is http://www.hlmartworks.com.

I have also found the article that provides 3 solutions but none of the solutions worked.

I'm having the same issue. I saved a PDF from an email into iBooks. I'm on apple applying for a job but the only option the upload button has is from the Photos file. How ironic right? Luckily I'm in Logistics and not an IT specialist applying for this job! Lol. Does anyone know the fix?

How to upload PDF files to a website? Always error messages

Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers?

Why will Adobe Acrobat not load PDF from my work website, but will load on other computers? I have to log in to a website to get our orders, and we thought it was the website at first, but have since realized it is just my computer with this issue. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and still it does not work.

You ask "why", but don't provide any information...
What is your operating system?
What is your web browser?
Are you asking about Adobe Reader or Acrobat?
What is your Reader / Acrobat version?
What exactly means "will not load"?

I ask to open a pdf file on a website but upon doing so, I'm asked where do I want to save it. I just want to open it.
