PDF downloading issues

I have an iMac. Recently when I try to open or download a document from Safari it partially downloads and stops w/o opening the document. If I try again, it downloads a smaller portion of the documents and again it stops and does not opne document. I have tried to clear cache w/o any improvement. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
Step 2
Remove the Norton/Symantec product by following the instructions on either of these pages:
Uninstalling your Norton product for Mac
Removing Symantec programs for Macintosh
If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different.

Pdf download issue

I can no longer download PDF'S from the internet and save them. Error message - there was an error opening this document. the file is damaged and could not be repaired. I can open it just fine on another computor so I know the file is not damaged.

The file gets damaged during the download - for whatever reason.
Try downloading the file to your local disk first, then open it from there.

Issue with PDF download

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem with the PDF download option. In the answers request I have to use Pivot tables to display data and since these pivot tables do not provide the option of Table Headings, I resorted to HTML to get a similar output. The issue I am facing right now is when I print it through PDF or Powerpoint, the HTML code I have written comes up instead of the result. In the case of excel or answers, I am getting the proper output. Is there some setting I am missing?? I am using the column with the HTML coding in the Columns section of the pivot table.
Thnx!

Hi,
This is a known issue with HTML code embedded in your request, when you try to download the same in PDF, PowerPoint it will show the code.
You can the following bugs regarding this in metalink.
Bug 7187501: PDF SHOWS HTML TAGS WHILE PRINTING REPORT WITH BOLD LETTERS -HTML Tags Shown When Print or Export to PDF (Doc ID 1064060.1)

In my "Extra" there is a line: "PDF -download, by Nitro PDF software". When I click on it, appears: "XML-parsefout .." How do I delete a command in "Extra"?

How do I delete something in "Extra", something I didn't put in! (on my desktop).
On my laptop the "PDF -download, by Nitro PDF software" doesn't figure and pdf files open normally and not seperatly in the mainframe of for example www.centrum-veurne.be

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

PDF access issue with OHS WebGate

Hi all,
The architecture has OAM, OID, Documentum server. OID is used as user store for OAM. Documentum application is deployed in WebLOgic server. There is a OHS server front ending the WebLOgic server where we installed the webgate. We are protecting the Documentum URL through OHS host name in OAM Policy domain and everything is working fine so far. While downloading a pdf document in Documentum server application, it is processing as 33% and hangs over for 5 mins and finally displays an error given below.
invokeMethod() failed while calling: onReturnFromProgress
Operation failed : com.documentum.ucf.common.transport.TransportException: Client failed to handshake with server within 250 seconds.
After closing this window, press the Refresh or Reload button on your browser to continue
I have seen couple of metalink notes about this pdf webgate issue and tried several options for webgate params CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader.
Tried the following combinations:
CachePragmaHeader           private
CacheControlHeader private
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader novalue
CachePragmaHeader           public
CacheControlHeader public
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader private
CachePragmaHeader           novalue
CacheControlHeader public
Like this I have tried almost 9 combinations but no luck. Also tried disabling the IP validation. There are no errors in webgate or access server logs
Please let me know if you have any clue on this.
-Mahendra.

We're seeing an issue that looks almost identical to this but using Windows 2008/IIS7.x and WebGate v10.1.4.3. The PDF will begin download then it looks like a connection resets. We've tried it using PDF's ranging in size from <1mb to over >16mb. The results are consistent. On IIS turning off "http keep alive" allows the downloads to proceed (and probably diminishes performance to some degree).
While the workaround we found allows PDFs to download I'd really be interested in seeing what's causing this.

How do I get ipad ios8 to stop pdf download default being itunes U?

since upgrading to ios8 when I want to download a pdf, from safari, the default app it tries to download to is itunesU instead of iBooks. it does come up with other options, including iBooks, but you have to find iBooks from the list. on ios7 it would default to iBooks.
can the default pdf download app be changed?. Other people I know don't have this issue so there must be something in my settings which creates this issue.
i am not sure why it wants ro default to itunesU as I never use this app.
Any help would be hugely appreciated as I download a lot of pdfs from safari web pages and this is getting frustrating.

I have this problem too. I'm thinking maybe the last downloaded app becomes the default, so perhaps deleting iBooks and redownloading it will make it default? I haven't treid yet though, I don't want to have to download all my PDFs again (from different websites).

PDF download failing

I keep getting a message that my PDF download has failed. I have reduced the size of the file from 25 .4 mb to 15.3 mb, tried everything suggested on your help line including the use of a different browser and computer using windows 8.1 without success. I have had no trouble before downloading larger like files. When I signed into my account I received a message that there was a download was available which I downloaded . It also failed with the message that a critical download has failed. could you please help me with this problem as I am on a strict time limit to get this dowload completed and the document issued. Thank You Dennis Hawkes

Hi,
Would you send your PDF document to [email protected] as an email attachment?
I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.

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

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

Error on opening a PDF download

Please do not have your subject in all CAPITALS
HI,
i am geeting the below error message on trying to open the pdf download
**"Adobe reader could not open file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email and wasn't correctly decoded"**
however on analysis i found the following
no data on PDF because the otf internal table is empty.
actually i am converting a spool containg script into pdf download.
i am working with version 3.1i , so i dont use function module and use C function to convert spool to otf and then use convert_pdf to convert to pdf.
when i debug my call function on the do loop executes once corrcetly and on the second time of execution immediately loaded with error message 'end of data' .... and so my otf conversion is not happening . ie otf_page intertal table gets empty without appending .
sometimes i get error number 2048 ( illegal line length )
i could not locate the error , as this application was working earlier good and recently got into trouble.
pl guide if i need to check any settings.
to my knowledge i found the program , layout and spool informations are okay.
thanks in advance for your clue towards a progressive solution.

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..

PDF download in IE 7

I created a pdf download link to a _blank page, and when I
try to download and view the pdf in IE 7, a new page comes up but
the page is blank. The pdf does not view. Can someone offer insight
to the problem? Thanks.

If you're talking about the link by "Click Here to download a
PDF version of
this Recipe Style Guide" I clicked it, waited about 20
seconds, then saw
your Recipe Style Guide. It's only about 160K so it's not
that large (for
the record, I'm in a coffee shop right now with a not-so-good
connection).
It's working fine. Assuming that's what's causing you a
problem.
