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?

  • How do I download pdfs from link without opening first in Safari?

    I am running OS 10.7.2 and browse with Safari 5.1.2.  I download PDF files routinely for my work.  In previous versions of Safari (with OS 10.5.x), clicking a link to download a PDF led to the PDF immediately downloading and then opening in Adobe Acrobat Pro.  Since upgrading to current system and Safari, I can no longer do that.  Clicking on PDF links opens in Safari, and then I have to find and click Safari's download button, and then I have to go to the downloads folder and click to open the document.  Does anyone know how to bypass this opening feature and get Safari to just download and then get the pdf to instantly open like it used to?  I am finding myself moving to Firefox, which I don't like as well and don't know as well, because it doesn't interfere with PDF docs. 
    Any solutions out there?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but those are the settings I'm already using.  Unfortunately, the various websites I visit don't respond uniformly to control-click, and choosing to download a file from that menu often just downloads an HTML of the page rather than the pdf doc itself.  I find shift-option-click works more often than other key combos, but I still have to then go to the downloads folder and manually open the file. 
    You may be right about Firefox being my only option.  Thanks for the suggestions.

  • Can't download .pdfs from web - Standard

    Have standard 7.0 and it worked fine for years but recently it will not download pdf files from the web.  Locks up IE and Mozilla when I try.  Opens pdf's fine from local drive just a problem with the web downloads.  Removed and reloaded Acrobat 7.0.  No change.  Downloaded ActiveX control - no change.  Any ideas out there????

    What version of Acrobat 7. Hopefully not 7.0.0 since there were many bug fixes. What version of Windows? What service packs? What version of MSIE? What version of Mozilla? Were there any recent Windows updates that you installed prior to things going wonky? Also, if running Windows XP, what firewall software and what virus protection?

  • 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?

  • Can't download PDF attachments from Hotmail

    Hi,
    For the past 3 - 4 weeks, I have been unable to download PDFs attached to Hotmail messages.  The Windows forum has been unable to help.
    I'm running Windows 7, IE 9 and using Acrobat X standard.
    So far I have cleared my cache and reinstalled silverlight as the Windows guys suggested.  I also restored my computer to a point in the past when I could download attachments.
    I can download PDFs from web sites, and open existing documents.  I cannot download PDF attachments from other email accounts (such as my academic account).
    Any thoughts?

    If there is an option to download in binary mode, be sure that is selected. I do not have HotMail and have no clue what options might be available.

  • 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.

  • On new MBP, wont download pdfs from secure sites, like banks. "unknown error" reported. Using Acrobat.

    Recently started using a Macbook Pro, formerly ran Firefox on a PC. Installed Acrobat and it works fine, and will download pdfs from internet fine, UNLESS it is from certain sites, that as near as I can tell have in common that I needed a password to get in (eg, Bank, insurance company). At this sites I can't download a pdf file, and am told that an "unknown error" occurred and I should try saving directly link to the disk. But this doesn't work either, it just wants to save a .cgi file, not the pdf. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Did you try to save that cgi file and give it a .pdf file extension?

  • Cant open pdf from links?

    When on the web if I click on a link to a pdf all I get is a 'page cant open' error.  I can left click and save the target to my desktop then open it.
    I have the same issue locally, I have several pdf's in a single folder, I created an excelsheet in the same folder and then created a link from the excel to a pdf.
    The link did not work, just a screen flash and nothing happened.
    Using windows7, Acrobat7and latest Norton.
    I am sure I jsut need to adjust a setting somewhere, perhaps in Adobe or Norton.
    By simply double click on a pdf it opens with no issues, it is just just trying tp open a pdf from a link that does not work.
    Any advise?

    Which browser?
    I sometimes get this.
    Check to make sure that the server you are downloading pdf from is serving it as an application/pdf. Otherwise it may be corrupt.
    Try in a different browser, if it doesn't work, best bet is that it is to do with a plugin issue. You may need to restart.

  • Can't download file from any browser and download manager

    can you help me to fix it ??
    i use iGetter, and it not responding to download, safari too..

    I was able to download the trial from rarlab.com. What happens when you click on a download? You need to make sure you select to download the Mac version. The .exe files do not run on a Mac.
    BTW, you might want to check out GUI Tar  https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14503/gui-tar
    The other two sites also work for me. What exactly happens when you click on a link to download? Do you know how to find your downloads?
