Pdf files download with .file extension thus wont open as a pdf

Hi , when I try to download a pdf document with Firefox, the file downloads but add a .file extension thus wont open as a pdf.
I do not know if this is relevant but if you try to get the file to open with adobe viewer by telling the pc to open this type of file always with adobe viewer, nothing happens the tick box is greyed out, however if I double click the adobe viewer icon it will quite happily open the downloaded file as a pdf

The next time you download, STOP, and double check the full name of the file.
Firefox would not change the file name. But an add-on could.

  • Firefox downloads PDF with wrong extension instead of opening a websites' PDF viewer

    I have a problem with websites that want to provide their own PDF viewer. Instead of launching their viewer, Firefox wants to download the PDF. I'd be perfectly fine with that ***if it downloaded with the correct .pdf extension so that Preview would actually open the PDF***. But that's not what happens; I end up with something like "RetrieveDocument.aspx" or "Retrieve.srv".
    I've tried resetting my download options (http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions). Didn't help.
    I saw some stuff about other plugins I can install. Here's the thing: *this stuff works fine in Chrome and Safari*. Maybe websites aren't tagging their content correctly or something, but this stuff works fine in two other browsers.

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Sender File Adapter with file conversion

    Hi guys,
    I’m using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
    An example:
    value1  <b>value2</b>  value3…
    I want to ignore <b>value 2</b> but I can’t find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ricardo.

    hi,
    there always is another way:)
    you can import the whole line to one field
    and cut it inside the adapter module
    (then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
    but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

  • Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? A

    Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?

    Not sure what plugins you mean, Hornet - Lr doesn't rely on plugins to read new cameras.
    If you mean the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin - that's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. Lr has the same functionality as ACR, but it's hard-coded into the program, so if you're looking for support for a new camera, you need to wait for a new version of Lr.
    And nobody here can say when Lr support for a given camera will happen.
    Hopefully someone with a Merrill will be able to chime in about whether its files work with the current Lr.

  • I downloaded Quicktime but iTunes still wont open

    I accidentally removed Quicktime from my programs list because I didn't know that I needed it to run iTunes. so I went online and downloaded it and iTunes still wont open. Saying that: "Quicktime was not found!" and "Please reinstall iTunes" so I re-downloaded iTunes and I'm still getting the same message.
    How do I get QuickTime back on my programs list?
    Is re-downloading QuickTime a wast of time?
    What am I doing wrong?
    I can sit here and download it all day its not going to change anything?

    If you just deleted QT from C:\Program Files you may be able to restore it from the Recycle Bin. If you used the add/remove control panel, you probably want to use it again. And then download a new iTunes QT installer

  • I just paid for what i thought was light room and have ended up with nothing,creative cloud wont open anything.

    wanted light room and have ended up with creative cloud which wont open anything.wth?

    Adobe does not market old version of their products the old downloads are available mostly for old licences users so they can download their licenced products should they need to.  So if you do not have a licence for Lightroom 3.6 after your 30 days trial install expires you can not use it or purchase a licence.
    It would be a good Idea for you to get a new computer with Windows 7 or 8 on it.  I prefer Windows 7.  If you are still running XP though its a good OS and runs on old Hardware that Windows 7 and 8 can not run on.  Its best to turn those old tired machines into network print servers and have nothing of value on them.  For Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and security holes that are still in XP will not being plugged.  You just inviting the waiting intruders in they will show up it you connect to the web and uses it.
    If you are using old hardware for a modest price you can get a new machine that is more powerful then the one you using.  With wireless devices it nice to have a network printer your current machine will be of no value to anyone.  If you hate the idea on scrapping a working machine a print server may be the was to go IMO.
    If you purchased a Photographer CC subscription you can install the subscription Photoshop CS6 version 13.1.2 that should run on XP with some newer PS features unavailable like 3D any feature the requires a GPU.  CS6 does not support any GPU on Windows XP.   You can do all that LR can do to images and more with Photoshop.  I do not even download Lightroon.  I don't need its library system or desire a second UI over the Adobe RAW conversion Engine.   This save disk space and I don't have to maintain and additional Adobe product and a simpler work-flow.
    Besides CS6 you can install LR 4.4 I do not use LR so I have no ides if it will run on XP.  XP not listed in LR 4.4 requirement.
    found this
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 does not support Windows XP. This decision did not come lightly and was based on a number of factors. With each version of Lightroom, our goal is always to provide a consistently excellent customer experience. Developing and testing across Operating System versions and platforms to ensure that we’re achieving this goal is a significant effort that takes time and resources. XP is substantially different from Windows Vista and Windows 7, and requires an independent testing matrix, which increases the complexity of our development efforts. Every cycle we need to make difficult resource tradeoff decisions and operating system support competes heavily with new features and performance enhancements planned for each version. The decision this cycle was to end XP support for Lightroom going forward.

  • Clicking on PDF files on the internet does not download with file extension

    When I click on a PDF link it downloads the file but does not save it as a ".pdf" file extension. When using the "save as" function in mozilla the ".pdf" file extension is included.

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

  • File Download with Servlet

    In my application i have to download a file with the help of servlet.
    Everything works fine except the case where i want to open the dialog box or just let that file open in the browser.
    For e.g. when i am trying to download an excel file and i want to have a dialog box open for save, it doesnt does that but automatically open the file in browser.
    But for the above case if i dont set the "ContentType" as "application/vnd.ms-excel" then it works fine like it will open a dialog box if in the header the value of "Content-Disposition" has "attachment;" and will open it if it has "inline;"
    Could you guide me to some good study material on what can be issues or the fundamentals of setting the "fileName with extension", what if i dont set "ContentType" and what is the difference between "Attachment" and "Inline"
    Thanks

    actually youre using the trick most ppl use.. force the content type to be something else than the ms-excel..
    the content type is ment to be a guide to the browser on how to interprete the content..
    if it doesnt it will prompt you to download i.e. show the file save dialog..

  • How to make a jar file downloadable with IE

    hello,
    I just bought a website:
    http://www.frozenfountain.net/
    and I put a jar file on it called Logo.jar
    Using Mozilla, the jar file downloads as expected, but with Internet Explorer, it tries to download it as .zip file.
    How do I get it to download as a .jar file with IE?
    thanks

    Just post a link to the Jar. Mozilla will download
    it as a jar. Windows will download it as a zip.
    Only one link. No problem, really. ;-)There is a problem. People who arent as good with computers as you are won't know how to run the jar file after downloading with IE.
    At school, I told someone to download the file, which they did with IE. It downloaded to desktop as a zip. They extracted and were left with a bunch of .class files.
