I can't download pdf's on my macbook

When I try to open a pdf on my macbook pro it just shows a blank grey screen.

Right click the icon for the PDF file and select 'Open With' then select Preview.  It may be that PDF files have become associated with another program for some reason.  If this works then let me know and I'll explain how to re-associate the file with Preview if you need me to.

  • Can't download PDF through IronPort (result:corrupted pdf)

    Hi,
    Users can't download  PDF through IronPort web proxy(7.3.1)
    The result is always the same: corrupted pdf.
    Who can help me ?

    Hi,
    Please check in access policy matched, in 'Objects' column, if you have any limit set or type of files blocked.
    You can also perform a test - create a Custom URL Category and add the
    website where you are downloading PDF in it, then in access policy -> URL Filtering, configure this Custom URL Category to 'Allow'. 
    Regards,

  • How can I download PDF's

    I cannot download PDF documents. I get an error message; i.e., The document “1-15_HowtoSellWithoutSalesy.pdf” could not be exported as “1-15_HowtoSellWithoutSalesy.pdf”.
    This is a recent event since I installed the newer version of Adobe. Any thoughts?

    Actually, I have two websites: Safari and Firefox. It doesn't matter which website I'm logged in to, I get the same message. As for downloading from the Adobe website, how do I do this? I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to completely uninstall Adobe and reinstall the latest version. Is this a good idea or will I lose the PDF's I was once able to download? As I said, this problem has been going on for the last 6 weeks, when I downloaded the latest version of Adobe.
    Thanks for your continuing help.

    That is not a Reader message. It is a message being generated by the website. They may have a javascript or something trying to prohibit the download of the pdf to your computer. Try downloading a pdf from the Adobe website and see what happens.

  • I can't download PDF's from iCloud.  Everything else downloads fine.  Any suggestions?

    I can't download PDF's from iCloud.  Everything else downloads fine.  Any suggestions?

    Ok, and is this on your Mac in the native Mail application, or on your Mac using iCloud webmail at http://www.icloud.com/ in a web browser? If the latter, which web browser?
    When you say you "can't download" - do you actually mean download and save to your hard drive as a file, or do you mean you can't view PDFs inside the mail application?
    What happens exactly when you try to download/view these PDFs? Any error message?

  • I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

  • How can I download gps-master in my macbook?

    How can I download gps-master in my macbook? Thanks.

    There are a couple ways to run windows on a mac.
    1) install windows and directly on the machine as the only, native OS
    2) Install a product from Apple called Boot Camp and dual boot the machine
    3) Install a product that allows you to virtualize guest operating systems (Windows, Unix, etc).  Which means the guest OS is running in a window under Mac OS X (concurrently)
    Options (3) is what I proposed.  This means you will need to:
    a) download one of the following (you can search using Google to locate):
      - VirtualBox (free)
      - Parallels (Paid)
      - VMWare Fusion (Paid)
    b) install the one you select from (a)  I
    c) Start the program and set up a virtual environment
    d) run the virtual environment and install Windows from your legal install disc.
    e) once the install is complete start the virtualized Windows and download the software.
    Personally I would look for gps software that runs on the mac before going through all this.  Do a search in the App store for GPS.  I found a couple options that can plot GPS track data.

    Where are you getting (A) from? There is nothing inherently illegal about it, AFAIK.
    You would be incorrect on that.  
    Commercial music videos are not to be downloaded, nor is there any difference between that and illegal torrent downloading of copyrighted material.
    Such actions pertaining to commercial copyrighted videos / music videos (lots on youtube) is not legal.
    Any distribution of videos, music or text without the express permission of the copyright-holder is copyright infringement
    regardless of all of that, Google/Youtube clearly notes that its against their policy to allow same from their site on such materials (not all, but most of it there).
    most such videos are not free and "open public domain" materials

  • I can't download PDF's from website that uses Adobe Reader on my Windows 8 phone?

    For work I need to be able to download PDF's from a particular website.  It utilizes the Adobe Reader but when I try to download a PDF, it doesn't do anything.  I tried to download the "Adobe Reader" from the website but it says that I do not hav the system requirements to do so.  This problem started after they did the Adobe update.  I haven't been able to download these PDS's since then.  I need to be able to do this for work....  Any suggestions?  or when will this issue be fixed?  Thank you!!!

    I have the same problem.  Or similar.  A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work).  Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use.  I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files.  Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway,  as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can. 
    Any other suggestions?  i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
    Thanks

  • I can't download pdfs from links

    Ever since I upgraded my Macintosh from system X.3 to X.4, I can't download a pdf that is accessed via a hyperlink in a web page. I can download a pdf attachment that I've received as e-mail, but if I click a link with a URL that ends in <PDF>, I just get a new, empty tab.

    Is it that you are not able to view pdf in Safari? What exactly is the problem?
