  • Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X shows as an unknown plugin, yet I got it through mozilla! What's its latest version?

    Firefox Plugin check says:
    Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X
    Displays PDF documents in the browser. Unknown plugin
    yet I got it via Mozilla plugins.
    So it's in the Firefox data base. What's the latest version?

    Sorry for the delay in getting an answer, but there don't seem to be any advanced level Mac-users helping do support in this forum. <br />
    1. Mozilla didn't supply that Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OSX, it is probably part of your PDF reader program, or maybe it came with your Mac operating system.
    2. Lack of Plugin version information is something Mozilla has been working on for that Plugin Check page. The problem with fixing it is that there is no standard among Plugin developers for making the version number of their Mozilla Plugin available for Mozilla to locate and display. If you look at your own '''''More system details...''''' in your original posting, you can see the problems Mozilla faces when trying to fix the Plugin Check service. Eight Plugins recognized by this forums software and only the last 2 in the listing reveal the plugin version number to a website - Silverlight and Flash.<br />

  • PDF converter for Mac Snow Leopard

    What would be the best PDF-converter for my Mac OSX 10.6.4 Snow Leopard?
    Thanks for advice.
    Vallis

    Well, I think actually you can try this *PDF converter*.
    It could convert PDF to Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Epub and 2 other format.
    Extremely easy to use and really friend interface.
    Only 1 thing I want to complain is it just support 50 files in a batch.
    Wish it could help though.

  • Where is original "Compress PDF" download for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (not 6.0!!)

    I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8, which doesn't exhibit the “Compress PDF” workflow on the Print dialog that used to appear in OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Apparently an update, which would restore the “Compress PDF” to the Print dialog, was available, but it has now been replaced by an update for Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6 or later. Where can I find the original update for Mac OS X 10.5.8?? Or how else can I compress my PDFs?
    Cheers,
    Aryleen

    Thanks, that's a great help! Not as easy as hitting the "Compress PDF" button in the Print dropdown menue, but almost as good. Good bye massive PDFs! ;))
    Cheers,

  • Excel repair for Mac

    Help!
    My very important budget-file is corrupted! I use Excel for Mac 2008 on my Macbook (Mac OS X 10.6.8). I recently used the file but now when I want to open it it says 'The file you are trying to open is possibly read-only or the location you are trying to open is read-only. Or the server you are trying to access is not responding'.
    I'm afraid the file is corrupted
    What is strange is that there are two other files which all of the sudden have the same issue, all 3 files have the .xls extension instead of .xlsx which I can open without a problem.
    I didn't do anything myself to these files?! So is it a question of corruption of wrong extension? No idea!
    I've allready tried searching for a program that can repair corrupted excel-files but they don't work on my Mac, are all for Windows OS.
    Can anybody help?? I'm getting really desperaty here! It's a very important budget-file, and ofcourse my back-up with Time Machine is from after when i last used the file
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

  • Are there any PCL to PDF converters for Macs

    We have a Windows only software that produces PCL files. I am wondering if there is a converter so that we can view said files as PDFs on our Macs. Does anyone have experience with this in the Mac OS or do we have to install XP or Vista to open the files?

    Hi Donald;
    I just did a Google search for PCL to PDF converter and it produced pages of them!

  • Looking for a PDF editor for Mac.

    I have hundreds of PDF files that contain the combination of letters  "XX"  and I want them all to be "HH" is there an editor out there that can do this?
    I tried using Pitstop, and it cannot batch anything like this.  I would like to be able to do many files at the same time.  If I have to do them one at a time, I may as well keep doing it the way I am.
    Currently going back to the ID file making the change and re-writing PDF---working fine, just wondering if there is a better way.
    Just looking for a way to make text edits in the PDF, I have found some editors for PC but having issues with PS fonts.  Yes I could change everything to open type, and then do the change, but that may bring on new problems.
    thanks

  • I need a Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X for the new version 4.0 Why would I want to download this if I can't view PDF files. What a joke! When will this be available????

    ......

    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:'''1.9.0.11''') Gecko/'''2009060214''' Firefox/'''3.0.11 FBSMTWB'''
    Your users agent is stuck at Firefox 3.0.11 due to a extension during when you had 3.0.11 and it tacked on stuff on end and kept it from updating the version number. This was due to the "Fast Browser Search toolbar" extension (FBSMTWB). This issue is not a problem with Firefox 4.0 and newer.
    See this on how to reset it to normal. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/websites%20or%20add-ons%20incorrectly%20report%20incompatible%20browser#w_reset-your-user-agent

  • PDF viewer for Firefox 4.0b7

    I know that the Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS still doesn't work for the newer versions of 4.0b. I want to know if this problem bothered anyone enough so that they went and found a workaround of some sort till the PDF plugin does come out. Also the Google Docs reader doesn't do me any good so that suggestion would probably be useless.
    Before the update to 4.0b7, I was running a patched version of the PDF Plugin but the patched version broke, as expected.
    Also as a side note, video playing is broken in the new update.

    Nah, I have a PDF printer installed for that. I am trying to view PDFs without downloading the file to my computer. Firefox had a plugin for that for the previous betas and I wanted to check if there are any workarounds or if there is a patched version available somewhere.

  • Pdf editor for pmac

    What is the best pdf Editor I can get to my imac?

    Old thread, but still very useful. I too looked for a pdf editor for ages and stumbled across your forum. I've gone through the same crazy search for a good PDF editing program for my macbook pro, but never found a free one that could really help.  Ended up going with PDF Editor, and it has definitely been a good move.  Pretty cheap at $49 compared to Acrobat's $450!!  Unlike Scribus and Skim, this is an actual PDF Editor that I like to use to type text into PDF documents.  I've also used it to add internal links back into my documents that didn't take when I convert word documents to PDF.  They do a free trial version so you can test it out before you buy it, and it seems to be compatible with lion and mountain lion.  Website is http://www.pdf-file-converter.com/pdf-editor-for-mac/.  Good luck!

  • When will the ACROBAT PDF function work again for Office 2011 for MAC and PC?

    HELP!!!!
    Adobe Tech support suggested I submit my comment to this post in hopes  that this will help resolve the issues.  I feel for them having to field  these calls.
    I can no longer convert Excel, Word and Powerpoints to PDF.  If our company converts one Office doc to PDF a day, we do at least 50 conversions to PDF.  Since the 9.4.2 update, the PDF feature does not work on MAC...and since the 9.4.4 update it no longer works on a WIN system.
    We have Acrobat 9 on all the MACs and PCs in the office.  We downloaded Acrobat X to test it out when it first launched.  Other than some nice bells and whistles with the convenient interface and new enhancements to the Portfolio feature, Acrobat X still does not do the basic function Acrobat was designed to do....convert to a PDF.
    We began converting PDF's on the WIN systems because the file size and object data handling on MAC had become difficulty over the past year (lost fonts, file size bloated, etc).  Now, nothing works on either system.
    Last year Adobe and Microsoft Office suggested we upgrade to CS5 and the new OFFICE to fix the problems.  MAC remains closed box which is why the system is so clean, but poses a real challenge when running non MAC software.  Now Adobe advises that Acrobat only works on the previous version of Office (?), but not 2007 and that they are not compatible with the new office even thought it worked just a few weeks or so ago. Unfortunately, we have used some of the new features in the new Office and now are being asked to go back a step.
    OFFICE automatically turns on your 90 day free tech support now when you call in to tell them PDF doesn't work.  They feel they are giving YOU tech support.   Last year, the Microsoft Office group advised that once they hand off to the PDF processor, that function is all Adobe.  And it seems that Apple has their own Quark processor running scripts in between the two functions which is why the PDF file sizes are bloating on MACs.
    The Adobe Acrobat engineers at AdobeMAX suggested to run Paralells or VMware on MAC in order to convert files to PDF properly/small size  (which is what they say they do to get around the object data and bloating issues internally on their own MACs).
    I know so many colleagues now who just run dual systems (WIN/MAC) so they can realize the full function of the Adobe software.  It is not convenient when traveling or cost efficient for small businesses, but that is what we had to do to get our jobs done.  I "HAD" a couple of the most incredible PDFing maching in my office until about a week ago...a $4k mega WIN System raided, 2 SDDs, 2 1TB HDDs, major video card, etc....and they are sitting lonely because PDF doesn't work anymore.  But goodness, how fast it converted things to PDF.
    Is there another patch coming imminenty to fix this issue?
    I don't really care if there is a 32 bit or 64 bit issue.  Customers pay premium price for the software which boasted 64 bit, etc and it should work as advertised. I ponder, are all my macs 64bit now???  They still don't work either.  Customers depend on the software to do even the most basic functions in daily business and should not have to spend hours on the phone trying to figure out a problem that has nothing to do with them or a workaround because their investment did not work as advertised (and has genereally worked for years)....
    One click of the button should be all that is necessary to make a PDF and make people everywhere happy when they need to send a secure output of their huge powerpoint to a customer to get business or their child's project for school that morning.
    Is there a software war going on between the companies?
    Are they rushing to market too quickly?
    Do the companies thoroughly test the patches before running the updates?
    Are there not enough API's or "hooks" allowing companies to make their products work with the different hardware, firmware, etc?
    I don't really care what the internal issues are. Just fix it!  The software should work as it is marketed (including the platform) and these companies need to get together and make it work (if that is the case) so their loyal customers can get their jobs done enabling them to purchase the next version of software that is suppose to be better than the last for their work.
    Posted Respectfully and with hope this issue will be resolved promptly!

    Mr. Jones,
    You are a real lifesaver!!!
    It worked on the Mac.  Will have to do some searches to find the same on the PC since the same is happening.
    Do you happen to know why Adobe is saying they are not compatible with Office 2011 now?  I found a link on the Adobe webite along those lines yesterday, but was not able to find it this morning to insert into this post.
    Our CEO had a real meltdown at about 2am the other morning when trying to pdf something for a meeting the next day.  Was not very pretty.
    THANK YOU!!!
