Link to files from web page
I need to create an archive of newsletters that can be accessed from our web page. What I have in mind is a news page with a list of newsletter files by date and a link to the file so that they can open which ever one they want from the list. The newsletters are in Pages format and in PDF. They are about 6 to 10 megs each in good quality PDF but much larger in Pages. I have tried export to iWeb but teh file dos not open. I put a PDF version on my iDisk and created a hyper link to it and that sort of works -- takes a long time to open and since it is in blog page there is a bunch of previw stuff shown that I don't want. I'd guess there is an easy way to do this - but I can't sort it out and the help and tutorials don't cover this.
Export your file from Pages as a PDF and ZIP it from Finder/Create archive.
Create a link to each document on an iWeb page and, in the link inspector, choose link to a file and select a file. The link will not work in iWeb but, when clicked in the browser, will download the file to the viewer's desktop.

Dragging files from web pages to the desktop (To a specific spot!)
I often need to drag images or url links directly from Safari or Firefox to my desktop.
I have a two monitor setup and usually have a bunch of windows or applications open. Whenever I drag a file from the browser to the desktop, it gets sorted in the right monitor with the sorted icons...
...is there a way to force Mac to let me just drop the file where I drop it?
I don't have any "arrange by" option selected in my Finder View Dropdown...
Thanks for any help!Not that I know of... I have the same issue with the dual monitor setup and trying to drag from or to the desktop. Gets so cluttered sometimes that I have to hit F11 just to see what's going on, but then I'm not able to drag from the desktop to an open app because all of the windows are off the screen.
Hmmm...
I think OS X just puts all of your desktop items on the right edge of your default display no matter what, but I'd love to be proven wrong. Will keep an eye on this thread.
I think the new "Spaces" feature in Leopard might help this situation. Maybe. -
Can't open pdf files from web pages
I recently upgraded to Adobe Reader 8.1. Now I cannot open pdf files from email attachments. Advises to set Adobe Reader as default in folder options. When I try to do so, it appears to be OK, but still will not open files from emails.

Did you check the settings of your mail client for handling attachments?

Trial question: Can't open .doc files from web page
I'm using Dreamweaver on a Mac, and I have a link on a page
that should bring up a doc file. When I preview the page in Safari,
it brings up a directory listing which highlights the file so that
you can double-click and open the file. (Of course, I'd love for it
to go ahead and open the file, but my understanding is that
Dreamweaver Mac doesn't support that.) However, when I preview in
Internet Explorer, I either get a message that the File is Not
Found or it just spins and never brings up anything. The file is in
the root directory of my site (same directory as my index.html.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
KimDo you have Word installed on your Mac? If you don't, it
won't open.

Windows operating system; Firefox is up to date.
I do believe that it IS a Firefox problem. I didn't have the problem before updating Firefox. Check out this site from Yahoo Answers. It's the same problem, but the advice is no longer accurate: The question was posted years ago, and the "fix" is for an outdated Explorer version. However, the Asker poses the question quite well.

Please let me know if you find a fix. Aggravating!! -
The .pdf viewer plug in for FF3.6 worked fine but upgrading to FF7.0.1 has caused the problem. There are no such plugins for this version. I must go back to FF3.6 with the plugin and then if one for FF7.0.1 doesn;t exist by the time Mozilla stops supporting 3.6 I will go back to Safari as my browser I guess.
I already reinstalled the Adobe's and it didn't solve anything. What I did find is that when faced with a pdf I want to view, I have to right click "Save Link As..." and then I can view the resultant pdf. Cumbersome perhaps but I guess it works.
Thanks though for the snotty tone in your response; indeed I realize its not FF's job to ensure my machine is updated. However I'm a business guy not an IT guy and my guess is the business guys at Mozilla would want to be aware of things that would impact the use of their product. And if moving forward with new iterations and updated versions of their product changed the users experience in a negative fashion, however caused, I'm sure they would want to consider what actions they may or may not want to take.
Furthermore its unfortunate that you mistakenly interpreted my words to mean that I expected them to rectify the issue for me. I simply stated that currently it doesn't work for me and if that doesn't change, I would have to move in a different direction. Simple as that. It's not a big deal.
So perhaps your typical IT guy "users are so dumb" mantra was misplaced here. -

File, create PDF, from web page, entire site...questions
I am new to adobe, is this the proper forum for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for macintosh? I think yes...
Created a PDF from: File, create PDF, from web page, entire site.
Is there a way to print this without the background color? If you printed from a browser, you could choose not to print the back ground color. I know exactly the color.
Is there a way to make this PDF look like the web, with no page breakes? I have tried various things, but the page breaks are always displayed.
Is there a way to create bookmarks on somthing other than the title tag in the web site? The title tag is an SEO 1 sentence summary of the page, which makes for very long book mark names.
Thanks for your help.

Printing from web pages is excruciatingly slow since downloading most recent upgrades of Firefox Mozilla. I have a desktop iMac, OS 10.6.8, and an HP officejet printer 4500 G510n. The printer works fine with the Safari Browser and with woodprocessed files, but not with Firefox and web pages. Help please! It used to print fast with earlier versions of Firefox.
Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussions Forum.
I have hardly any experience with HP printers but since your posting has not been replied to yet I thought I'd offer some assistance.
With the printer status and ink levels working, it shows that you have a connection to the printer. So I would look at the issue being with the protocol being used for the print queue on the Mac.
Since you have XP and Vista working, I would check the printer queue configuration on either box. In XP, go to the Properties and select Ports. Click the Configure Port tab to view the connection. If you are using RAW, then this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket on OS X. So if you are not sure what protocol was used before I would create another printer queue, this time selecting IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter your IP address and select the K5400dn from the Print Using menu.
If this still fails to print then please reply. There may be limitations with adding the HP driver this way that I am not aware of. There may also be other driver options you can look at, such as HPIJS. If Greg Sahli reads this posting he has expert knowledge on this matter and will be able to offer some guidance.

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]].

Shockwave won't play linked Director files from server
I created a bunch of director files for the course content of my class. All can be accessed from a contents file. When I created an html contents file on my desktop (in the same folder as the linked director files), the contents pages would open in shockwave in my browser (both Firefox and Safari) and then by clicking on a link other director files would open and play. However, when all these files were place on our server (in the same folder), only the contents pages would open and we get an error message saying the dirctor files cannot be opened. I think this means it sees them, but can't open them.
Help!Hi Sean
sorry if my e-mail was a bit whiney, but I got a bit frustrated,
having tried to use the Adobe website for help and then trying for
help over the phone. Adobe has this nice thing where they will call
you back instead of you sitting on hold, which I used at first, but
you get called back by a machine, not a person, then you subsequently
get a progression of robocalls with nobody on the other end! I
finally just sat and waited and got a person, who seemed
knowledgeable and nice, but couldn't help me without a payment. So, I
would greatly appreciate any help you could provide!
What I have is this. I constructed a "book" in CD form for my
class. This is based on CDs that Mike Coleman and I published a few
years ago. A picture of the contents page is shown below. Each topic
is in a separate Director file, each with its own casts. We made a
lot of animations, some in Flash and some in Quicktime that appear in
each topic. I redid everything in Director 11.5, changing text
spacing because of the way things get altered when things get played
in Shockwave! When I click on one of these subtopics, the
corresponding Director file opens. I accomplished linkage this by
appending a behavior to the text, "Play Movie X". I then originally
made a projector file of the contents page and distributed the CD to
my class free (textbook prices are getting out of hand). Now I want
to put it on the web, because I'm tired of burning CDs and we're
getting students from other locations taking the course on-line. So
within the folder on my desktop that held all the Director files, I
made a second folder "dswMedia" into which I placed all the
animations. I also linked all the animation casts to the Contents
Director file. I then constructed a Contents.html file and
Contents.dcr file using the Publish commands in Director. When I
click on the Contents.html file within my main folder (the one
holding all the Director files and the dswMedia file) the page opens
nicely in my browser (Firefox) and I can play all the Director movies
by clicking on each topic. All the animations play beautifully.
Great , I thought, I'm in business. I then took the files to our
media guy who put it on the server, in the same form as on my
desktop. If we click on the Contents.html file through the web it
opens. Clicking on a topic does not open that Director Movie. The
error message is not that it can't find the movie, however, but that
it can't open it. Everything works just fine on our media guys
computer, we only have a problem when we attempt to use this stuff
through the web. (Our web guy's computer does not have Director, so
that's not the issue).
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Regards
Paul

How to include non web pages to the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature?
In Acrobat Pro (v. 10), when I use the "Create PDF from Web Page" feature, it works great for html pages, but it skips non-html links (doc, pdf, ppt, xls, etc). I need Acrobat Pro to convert those files and put them in the order as well. I don't see an option for this in settings. Is there ANY way I can do this? This is for an archiving purpose and I have 10,000 plus files to convert. Please help.
This is a question i'm trying to answer too. My issue is that I have a PDF file which itself contains links to both DOC and PDF files. The end result is that I need one consolidated PDF containing all the linked files (in order).
I can run the "create from web page" on this PDF file, and it'll download them, but not convert them. It just adds them as "jumbled" text to the end of the document. I need it to download, convert, and then append them.
So, as isunshine3 asked above, any way to have Adobe convert the files that it finds linked when running the "create from web page"?
THanks
