Pdf download problem in lion

Safari can download most files ok. But, pdf downloads result in a dark blank screen and no download. There is no problem downloading in Chrome. Repairing permissions hasn't worked

If you use Adobe Acrobat to view PDF files...

Strange PDF Download problem

We are having a difficult time getting a PDF download to work with the
          Struts framework on WLS 5.1.
          This works fine with a servlet we have in production today, but when using
          Struts, it fails every time.
          We are submitting a form that contains a date and a type, and then going to
          a back-end vendor to retrieve the PDF stream and re-stream it back to the
          user. The URL that should work is as follows:
          http://xxxx/action/viewStmt?period=mm/dd/yy&type=PDF
          When we execute this URL, the action is invoked, the correct arguments are
          obtained, the vendor is called, and the streaming is done. However, the
          browser then pops up a message saying...
          "You have chosen to download a file from this location:
          yy&type=PDF from xxxx"
          and the download fails.
          We are doing almost the exact same thing with a servlet, and no such error
          happens. I don't know if this is Struts-related or some configuration
          issue.
          Any ideas?
          Thanks,
          John


it sounds like the browser wants to download a file who's ContentType
          isn't set.
          try the following:
          response.setContentType(<ENTER PROPER PDF CONTENT TYPE HERE>);
          it'll probably be something like "application/pdf" or "text/pdf"
          with Struts you'll probably have to extend the Action bean to handle
          that. just have that extended Action read the type parameter and
          interpret it.
          hope that helps

PDF Download on iMac Lion

Have recently purchased an iMac (Lion) and am having trouble downloading PDF's through my hotmail email address. Is there some setting which I have failed to set up properly in the computer in order to do this?

Have done that but the error message comes up "can't open the file because no available application can open it". Could it be that the sender is perhaps a Windows user and my mac can't read it? I have no problem downloading photos.

Mountain Lion download problems with Lion 10.7.5 (no VirusBarrier issue)

I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro. From the factory it came with Snow Leopard but has since been upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.5. I do not have VirusBarrier, I am writing from a recently clean-installed Lion.
I have now been troubleshooting my Mac for several days. When I wrote first, I had an issue with Safari having been damaged and so I wasn't able to reinstall Lion - but after a certain extremely helpful community member I finally succeeded in installing Lion.
But the issues with the App Store still persist. All my Mountain Lion downloads fail, getting the error message "can't verify, might be corrupted" what many here have also been getting. However, most solutions were related to VirusBarrier (which I don't have), or /var/folders errors (Console does not show any var-related errors).
So if it's not a var-related issue, or related to firewalls or virus softwares (I have disabled the Firewall and I have no virus software installed), what could it be?
When the download and install of ML failed last time, Console showed the following messages:
11/30/12 11:54:44.617 AM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [235] for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app' [567]

It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading.}
...and a bit later, upon re-starting the download:
11/30/12 12:29:40.515 PM com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.apple-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [817] for authorization created by '/Applications/App Store.app' [781]

Problem elimination:
* I don't think this is a router-related issue: I have downloaded and installed other softwares outside App Store successfully
* As said, I don't think this has anything to do with Firewall or Virus settings
* Nor has this anything to do with /var/folders as far as I can tell
What I've tried so far:
* Repaired disk permissions several times
* Rebooted
* Restarted App Store
* Following one advise found on the net, I deleted preflight.pfpkg just in case
* All the time I have made sure my OS has the most recent Software Updates installed (most of them downloaded successfully, while with Safari and OS 10.7.5. I had to try several times before they were downloaded succesfully)
I just reinstalled my OS X Lion, only to use it to jump on to Mountain Lion - so I am pending my migration until ML is installed. I would like to fix this soon, since I'd like to get the migration done and my real work started. I would really appreciate your help.
I'm not very adept at using Console or Terminal to troubleshoot, so if someone could guide me through the problem identification, that would be great. Unless someone already knows exactly what's going wrong and can show me a working solution - that'd save my day!
Thanks!

In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
Would that work out for you?

Firefox and PDF download problems -- hanging and failures

I am working in Windows XP and Firefox 12.0.
We post our multi-page newsletter to our website in PDF, and then use a list to send a link to access it. When attempting to download using Firefox, the document will download all or part of the first page, and then hang -- sometimes in perpetuity, and sometimes with infinitesimally slow progress.
It works just fine in Google Chrome.
I tried disabling all of my plug-ins, including Adobe Acrobat (9.5.1.283). I left them all disabled, but re-enabled Adobe. No joy.
I disabled Adobe and tried a straight-up download, then open with my local reader. No joy.
What is going on, and how can I fix it?
My Acrobat 9 Standard is 9.5.1 that I'm using to create the document in the first place.
What can I do to fix MY system to get it to download and, more importantly, what information can I give our members to use so that they can successfully download it?

I personally open PDFs in the stand-alone Adobe Reader rather than in the browser, but everyone has their own preference.
Have you experimented with Firefox's application tab settings?
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box on that tab, type pdf and pause for the list to be filtered. You should be able to toggle between viewing the PDF in the browser or launching it externally. I have mine set to "Always Ask."
Generally speaking, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
If you host the PDFs on a site you can't actually visit, access the View Cookies dialog from this page and change the host name at the top of the box to the correct host name to access the relevant cookies.
Then try downloading again. Does that help?

PDF Download Problems

Hi, this is a repeat post but maybe no-one noticed it when I posted it several months ago:
I have problems with filenames of downloaded pdfs. I download pdfs from the internet, and my computer corrupts the filenames. For example, it replaces all the spaces with the string "%20" and sometimes, instead of the name of the file, it is just all numbers and "#" signs. Of course, I can re-type the correct filename, but why on earth aren't the correct ones just coming down with the file?
Very frustrating because I deal with a lot of academic docs.

Try the Internet Explorer or disable the PDF Viewer of Chrome.

N900 PDF Download Problems

Whenever I download a pdf from a web site I get a message that asks me whether I want to open the file with PDF Reader or Save to Device. If I try to open with PDF Reader I get a message saying "file format not supported" and the phone goes back to the desktop. If I save the file to the device and then try to open it, there is a ? symbol appear on the file and the phone requres me to choose a software format to open the file with. I pick PDF Reader, but again the message appears "file format not supported" and the phone goes back to the desktop.
The issue is that when I first purchsed the phone about 6 weeks ago PDF Reader used to download files from the web and I could read them no problem. Last week the phone just wouldn't open a PDF from a web site and hasn't done since. Can anyone help?

Try the Internet Explorer or disable the PDF Viewer of Chrome.

PDF Download Problem with Mozilla

Actually more of a nuisance. Whenever I download (when in OS 9.2.2 using the Mozilla browser) a PDF document, the file downloads OK, however, instead of having the PDF icon it has a PictureViewer/QuickTime icon and the file Type is GIFf & Creator Code is ogle. Naturally, it won’t open using Adobe Reader. I have to change the file Type to PDF & Creator Code to CARO. Then Adobe Reader will open the file. The change in the Type and Creator Code does not change during download when using iCab or Explorer. I couldn’t find any setting in Mozilla that could cause this.
Any suggestions?
 Cheers, Tom

Hi, Tom -
Check the settings for Helper Apps (IE calls them File Helpers) in Mozilla - since I don't use it, I'm not conversant with where they might be, although I'd imagine they'd be somewhere in its Preferences.
Check also the settings in the Internet control panel, Advanced tab, File Mapping section; and the settings in the PC Exchange and File Translation tabs in the File Exchnage control panel.
Make sure all appropriate ones are set to use Acrobat Reader as the linked app for PDF (or .pdf) files. There may be more that one linked pair in any of those places.

I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07. When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

HT202159 OSX Mountain Lion download problems

Hello,
I have been trying to download OSX Mountain Lion from the appstore on my 10.6.8 mac mini but the file stops downloading after about 10mb. I was able to download 10.7 without any problems but I am not able to downlaod 10.8 on either of my two machines. Both stop at about 10mb. Anyone seen this or have any possible solutions?
Thanks!
Travis

I have seen this, unfortunately there are 100 & 1 different things that can cause this. If you want to trouble shoot, let's power-cycle both your modem and router and see how that goes.

Hi people, have on the phone till Apple, the reason i cant download OS X Lion is because BT are having issues with the large download & are working on a fix. Was told to phone back in 24 hours if problem continues

Hi people, have on the phone till Apple, the reason i cant download OS X Lion is because BT are having issues with the large download & are working on a fix. Was told to phone back in 24 hours if problem continues

Hi, just got off the phone from BT Business. It is the Business 2wire hub that has the issue. The girl from technical talked through a direct modem to Mac connection and my download took 20 minutes. If you are on Fibre broadband this is the only current fix or a new router if non fibre customer. Hope that helps.

I downloaded OS X Lion on my iMac and I'm having problems with my computer waking up after hibernating. I can get to the login screen but my mouse will be frozen. The only fix's is a hard reboot. Any help would be great!

Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
1. SMC
Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. PRAM
Follow the procedure below:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
command–option–P–R
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally.

Problems with PDF downloads

I was ready to blame the latest update from Apple, but perhaps not. Here are the symptoms:
Our church publishes a newsletter in PDF format which can be downloaded from their web site every month. This month, after the latest Apple update, the downloaded document has problems. General format is OK (boxes around text, images) but all text is simply grey bars that seem shaded from one side of the page to the other.
If I save the document and try to open it in Preview the same problem.
HOWEVER, if I open the document in the Adobe reader the document is fine!
I thought this might be a problem with my iMac (first of the aluminium iMacs), so I tried this on my Apple laptop (recent vintage). Both machines run 10.6.8 with the latest updates from Apple applied. I have no funny "helper" programs; i.e. the software is pretty clean and all updated.
Same issue on the laptop.
HOWEVER I looked for a generic pdf download on the web and downloaded a PDF instruction sheet from the Moen (plumbing) web site - no problem!
So now my suspicion is that the PDF document has the problem. But I would have thought that PDF is PDF and if the Adobe reader can handle the document that Safari and Preview should be able to? Is there some format switch in the program used to generate the PDF document that would cause the Apple programs to fail but Adobe to succeed?
Any thoughts welcomed! I'd like to figure out if it's me or them.
PS - I've not yet tried this on that "other" operating system. I could do that with a trip to the library

Thanks guys. I think I'll just rely on Acrobat as suggested. Sounds like somehting has changed on their end as the previous month's file loads fine.
I'll check with teh secretary ans see what has happened.
Thanks

Hi Hao,
Try this out
Suppose the file name is test.doc in c drive in server
create a context attribute filedata of binary type
bind it to data property
write the following code
try
   File input = new File("C:
test.doc");
   int length =(int)input.length();
   //Create a byte array b to hold the file
   byte b[] = new byte[length];
   FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(input);
   //Reading the file to a byte array b
   in.read(b);
   in.close();
   //Setting the data from the byte array to the context element.
   wdContext.currentContextElement().setfiledata(b);
catch(Exception ex)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Error in File
IO"+ex.toString());
// Structure information of the context attribute
IWDAttributeInfo attinfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("filedata");
IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) attinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
// Default File name which appears when opened on client machine
binaryType.setFileName("testing.doc");
//Explicitly setting the file type
binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.DOC);
