Pdf files auto downloading.

My Macbook is currently auto downloading PDF files. I can't view them unless they're downloaded. I tried reinstalling adobe reader, and unchecking the open safe files after downloading. Its not working. How do I stop files from being auto downloaded?

I'm geussing you're using Safari as your internet browser? Try Firefox as a browser. It will allow you to view PDF documents in the browser itself, without downloading the document to your Download folder and it doesn't require Adobe to do so.

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • PDFs to auto-download to desktop?

    Is there any setting that enables me to have any PDF links auto-download to desktop instead of them opening up within a new window or tab?
    Cheers

    In the old versions of Safari, it used to allow you to save the PDF file by "Save as.." but they removed it. I think it is unforgivable that they don't allow you to save it.)
    Another work around is simply "print" that PDF web page, and save the printed web page back into a PDF file! What a convoluted way to re-create another PDF file from an existing PDF file
    That is, print the page, click "PDF" button in the lower-left corner in the print dialog, and select "Save as PDF..."
    Apple software team, can you re-enable the "Save as..." button for PDF web page in your next version please?

  • How do I add a PDF file for download to my iWeb page?

    How do I add a PDF file for download to my iWeb page?
    I have created one using Apples Pages program.
    Thanks!

    Hi-
    You need to create a text link to the file...
    On your page, type a word that you want to be the link... then select the word, and in the inspector pane, click the link tab (the arrow on the far right) and check "enable as hyperlink." Then choose "file" from the dropdown menu and a chooser box will open for you to locate the file on your hard drive.
    Choose the file by clicking "open" once it's located. Then the next time you publish, the file will be uploaded and linked to!
    Hope this helps... I think I got all the steps in there!

  • I am having problems creating PDF file and downloading them

    I am having problems creating PDF file and downloading them

    Hi Randy Keil,
    You might need to sign up with your Adobe ID and password at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf"
    Then you can choose the desired files to create the PDF.
    Now, let me know what error message do you get while doing the same.
    What kind of files are you trying to convert to PDF?
    Have you checked with your internet connection and tried using a different browser?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,

  • How can I view a pdf file without downloading it? It seems I can't get rid of the download option. Is it possible to do this without downloading the pdf and then viewing it?

    I would like to open up a pdf file in adobe acrobat or adobe reader directly from an attachment or web page, but don't want to download it to my computer. Can I do that?

  • When i select a pdf file for download in a webpage instead of automatically downloading the file and opening it using adobe acrobat I get a new blank window in the browser and it says done in the bottom left corner

    when I select a pdf file within a webpage and click to download instead of getting the "download" window and the file automatically opening after download using adobe reader I get a blank webpage (in the same tab) and in the bottom left corner it says"done". No file is downloaded and if I click "back" I just return to the webpage containing the link.

    Aha!  The properties for the plugin file nppdf32.dll for Adobe Reader indicate the file is for Adobe Acrobat.  This misidentification is then used by SeaMonkey as a label in the helper application list. 
    Adobe Reader 11.0.3.37:  nppdf32.dll has version 11.0.3.37.  This is the version in SeaMonkey's plugins folder. 
    Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8.218:  nppdf32.dll has version 7.0.9.50. 
    As for having both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat on the same PC, this generally works providing Reader is installed AFTER Acrobat.  Reader is freeware, and I want to keep it current.  Acrobat is purchaseware, and I cannot afford to keep buying  upgrades or newer versions. 

  • .PDF file not downloading with .pdf extension

    Hi there,
    I recently received the following from a user:
    Hi I downloaded the PDF copy of the Good Design plan from the link: http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/en/Design-Council/Files/System-Files/Download/ Tried a couple of times, and the link downloads a file simply called "The" and it is not recognised as a PDF I manually added the suffix.pdf and the file is intact and working but just wanted to let you know. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.16 on Mac
    The original file was called, The_Good_Design_Plan.pdf, and we have renamed it to, thegooddesignplan.pdf - it now works correctly.
    I'm guessing that all .pdf files need to be named without any ascii characters within their file name for them to work properly?
    We have a large number of pdf's that are named as such: 'this_is_a.pdf' - should we remove all instances of '_' to avoid the above problem in the future?
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    We use underscores in file names all the time with no issue.
    Not sure what the issue was. Might have been on the clients end.

  • How to view pdf files without downloading them on firefox for android

    I use an Electronic Medical Record program using Firefox for android on a a Samsung Galaxy Pro 12.2 tablet. I need to view patient pdf files on the tablet. So far, the only way I have been able to accomplish this is to download the file first. It would be more efficient if I could just view the pdf file on the Galaxy tablet without having to download it. Is it possible to do this with Firefox for android? Thanks.

    Not in any reliable manner. There is PDF.js but it has not been optimized for Firefox for Android. https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/#firefox

  • How to: move .pdf files from Downloads to a selected folder

    I'd like to move all PDF files in my Downloads folder to an arbitrary folder that I select in the Finder.
    Can I do this with Automator? How?
    I haven't figured out how to set the selected target folder in the workflow.
    John

    Thanks, Niel, though I underspecified the problem a bit because I knew how to do the rest in Automator; unfortunately, I know even less about Applescript.
    How do I also specify that the file names must begin with a specific text string (e.g. "journal.").

  • In some web pages, pdf files are downloaded in very small kb and not opening despite I have Adobe reader, Pro and plug in

    I have Firefox 3.6.6, downgraded from higher versions since I have this problem below.
    At some web pages (mostly professional academic sites like Oxford Journals), when I am clicking to get pdf of an article, Firefox start downloading ridiculously small size and cannot open it as it gives the message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ..."
    I know the file is not damaged, because I can open them in explorer. And some websites are also working properly in Firefox. I do not care if it opens in firefox or pops up separately.
    I have reloaded Acrobat and Firefox but problem continues.

    hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

  • How do I open a pdf file I downloaded on my Android tablet?

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029054 /questions/1029054]''
    I can open most downloads, but I click on open and nothing happens. What do I have to do to open PDF file?

    At the present time, iCloud doesn't sync pdfs to your other devices.  Open the iBooks app on your iMac, control-click on the pdf and choose Share>Mail, email it to yourself, then open the email on your iPad, tap and hold on the pdf attachment and choose open in iBooks.  On your MacBook Pro, open the email, save the attachment on your desktop, open the iBooks app and go to File>Add to Library, navigate to the pdf on your desktop and click Add.

  • Unable to access PDF files after downloading 30-day free trial for ExportPDF

    Hello,
    Please accept my apology if I have landed on a page that may or may not offer what I do hope, someone might be able to provide a successful solution which will enable me to access a program I downloaded earlier today, Export PDF, offered by Adobe’s website based on a 30-day free trial.
    Prior to landing on this page, I tried numerous other venues through their websites, starting even from the original beginning instructions, only to end up in a forum I assume must exist for the purpose in finding an answer I cannot seem to locate.  
    Had I not spent the amount of time and effort (and desire) in opting to try out this program prior to committing to and purchasing it, I would not bother with seeking a solution.
    Following the online instructions to download the specified free trial period, I signed up with all requested information including -- a unique username, password, email address, followed by the process of verifying the given email address, which ultimately displayed a notification window indicating a completed successful installation.
    Hoping to export a PDF file I had accessed earlier in the day, when I opened the file a screen I had never seen before popped up. Briefly grayed out (basically blank), a warning message appeared stating that sign in was required by the Adobe member then proceeded by reading The User Terms, which must be agreed to and accepted before access to any documents would be allowed.
    Both of these required steps were followed and completed during and after the download and installation process. At the top right hand corner of this page, next to "Welcome, ____________ (my user name)" and the option ( Sign out ), I find it ironic that something I never would have thought to be the difficult and frustrating process it has become, to ultimately be left with one option other than 'Sign out' and that was to click on 'Help' -- which opened the page I am currently on.
    So if anyone is willing to entertain this odd dilemma, I offer my genuine appreciation for your time and solution, should one exist. Otherwise, I’ll just (sarcastically) chalk it up to one of those days spent with technology that leaves me wondering why I bothered in the first place.
    Again, many thanks for any input and suggestions.

    Hi Robyn Renee\'Drake
    I'm a bit confused about what service/software you've installed.
    There is no trial of the ExportPDF service (and, it's not something that you install; instead, you access if via a website). Perhaps you downloaded the free Adobe Reader, installed that, and then signed up for ExportPDF through Adobe Reader?
    Can you try going to http://exportpdf.acrobat.com and try to sign in there with your username and password? If you're able to log in there, you have a subscription to ExportPDF.
    Please let me know how it goes, and we can take it from there.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Downloading pdf files with firefox 6.0.2 doesn't always work but pdf files do download with IE

    for example the home page for the web site kerrville.org has several items to download and most are pdf files using firefox version 6.0.2 the download seems to start but never completes . If I use IE version 8 at the same web site I'm able to download any and all of the pdf files. I have tried this several times and get the same results each time.

    I would just get rid of the create PDF 1.1 and go with CutePDF instead. It's a much better program, it's free, and it doesn't create all the issues that the Adobe software does.
