PDFs are going straight to save as

I wanted to get rid of the PDF.js viewer, so I followed the instructions on another thread that said:
"You can disable the new viewer as follows: type or open the address about:config search for entry pdfjs double click on the entry pdfjs.disabled;false and it will toggle to true You can then set things up the way you had them before according to your choice and OS."
Now whenever I click on a PDF the save as box comes up straight away. My Acrobat plug-in is enabled, how can I get firefox to start using it again?

You may also have to set the action correctly for your plugin see

  • Incoming messages going straight to trash

    Suddenly my Incoming email messages are going straight to the trash. I start my computer. I have nothing in the inbox it is completely empty. If I click on sent, those messages remain and if I click on trash all my new messages and anything that was previously in my inbox is now there. I drag them to the inbox, but I do not want to have to keep doing this every morning. I am running OS 10.6.8 on an iMac. I have Mail 4.6 After reading some online stuff, I tried repairing permissions after safe reboot. I deleted User/Your UserName/Library/Mail/Enveope.index and rebooted, but did not work. Clicked on inbox and selected rebuild also did not work. I have no rules set up, but the apple default which I unchecked as well. Our email did switch from a POP to an IMAP, but this did not start happening until a few weeks after that change occured. First few weeks after the change no problems so I am not sure if it is related. The old POP account is still listed there, but it has not received anything since the day of the switch. I am going to delete that and see if that helps. Any other ideas?

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • All my e-mails are going to my deleted box and not my inbox, what do I do?

    Since last Saturday any messages sent to me are going straight to my deleted box. Nothing is appearing in my inbox.

    That is almost always the result of a problem with anti virus software, or more specifically the spam tool that they include. I am not sure if I am just more sensitive to this, but McAfee just keeps popping up as the anti virus in question.
    What anti virus do you use?

  • Update to IOS 6 has been a nightmare. Facebook would allow me to save pictures unless I granted access to my foto album. Does this mean my pictures are going be planted all over the web? The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow.

    update to IOS 6 has been a nightmare. Facebook would allow me to save pictures unless I granted access to my foto album. Does this mean my pictures are going be planted all over the web? The safari keeps crashing and loading is slow. Most infuriating is that YouTube was deleted from my entertainment apps and I now have to pay for it if I want it back!! This is a bloody disgrace.

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • How can I save reader to a disk, it goes straight to download?

    I have a computer that is running Windows XP Home edition and is not connected to the internet.  I need to put a copy of the Acrobat Reader on it.  I have attempted several times on another computer to save the program to a disk, but there is only one option on the website - click download.  When I do it goes straight to downloading on the computer I'm working on, without giving me a choice of location.  What can I do to get this thing to disk so I can carry it to the other computer?

    Download it from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ instead.

  • End users are not able to save interactive pdf form created with designer

    I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have created a pdf form but my end users are not able to save edited form. Does this have something to do with whether the form is static or dynamic. If so, I am not exactly sure how to use the restorestate option to convert it back to static. I also tried to enable the "user rights access in adobe reader" under the advance menu and had no luck.
    My end users have acrobat reader 9 - do I need them to download anything else, maybe professional.

    Thanks Paul for your reponse
    In my Adobe Pro I don't see the option Reader Extend rather I enabled "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" amd I figured this was somewhat the same. So if I enabled this option in Adobe Pro already and they are still not able to edit the fillable text slots or save it what other option do I have in figuring this out.

  • Sometimes PDF mails are going without an attachment.

    Hi,
    I have 3 output types and the 3 custom programs.
    When the background job scheduled, the standard RSNAST00 will call the custom programs,
    1)      The logic which added in the custom programs is once adobe form gets generated for output types, I have converted the adobe form into PDF attachment and send the E-mail to distribution list when the Transmission medium is u20185u2019.
    2)      In the program Function Module u2018SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARYu2019 used to convert adobe form into PDF file and class CL_BCS used to send it as a mail attachment.
    3) for the  other custom program,  once script gets generated for the output type I have converted the SCRIPT into PDF attachment and send the E-mail to distribution list when the Transmission medium is u20185u2019 .
    4) In the program function Module u2018CONVERT_OTFu2019 used to convert script to OTF file & CLASS METHOD xstring_to_solix Converts OTF to PDF and class CL_BCS used to send it as mail attachment to the mail id.
    Issue: Sometimes mails are going without an attachment. When we retrigger the output type mails are sent with attachment successfully. This is happening monthly once or twice,even that time also when one output type send the attachment mail then remaining two not send the attachment and vice versa.
    Any clues on this issue.
    Thanks
    Kiran

    I am on the way debugging into it .. to see the escape thing .. looks to me we double escape it ..
    usually, you should NOT have to set anything more, this misbehaviour of incostent read is fixed by 10.1.3 - the escaping, I'll have to check ..

  • I created a form for our band parents to fill out.  How are they able to save the forms as pdfs?

    I created a form for our band parents to fill out.  How are they able to save the forms as pdfs and be able to go back and view them?  I see the Save Submission-Enabled PDF on the Distribution page but there is no option when they go in to the first page of the form to save.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    If you are distributing a PDF using the save submission enabled pdf option, then respondents can save it using the Adobe Reader. They save it just like any other file - File menu -> save (or save icon on toolbar).

  • Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane.  If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

    Users are not able to save pdfs after editing.  Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit.  When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use.  If they save as a different name, it works.  Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane.  They don't use the preview pane.  I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save.  But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

    Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
    Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
    I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
    I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
    use it without problems.

  • Does anyone know why when printing from light room to pdf the program just closes on me? I've talked to tech support and they are going to get back to me tomorrow but I am desperate I have tuns of homework to finish !!

    Does anyone know why when printing from light room to pdf the program just closes on me? I've talked to tech support and they are going to get back to me tomorrow but I am desperate I have tuns of homework to finish !!

    No, but if you really mean that the way you said it, I don't know that Print is the best way to this. If you haven't already, after selecting the images you want to get printed, try clicking the Export button in Book or Library module and then selecting format .PDF. Once you export the file to .PDF, try opening it where you saved it and printing from there, not in Lightroom but in Adobe Reader. If that doesn't help, here are a couple of videos that might--follow their instructions carefully with no shortcuts:
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4's Export to PDF Using the New Book Module - YouTube
    Lightroom 5 - Exporting Images | Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 | Adobe TV
    If Lightroom keeps closing even when you try all this, you may need to reinstall Lightroom because your copy may be screwed up.

    You have to import the video to your computer by connecting the iPad with cable and then using iPhoto if you have a Mac or Windows Explorer or any other camera application that will import photos and videos. Read this for instructions.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from ... - Support - Apple
    Make sure that you backup and sync with iTunes as well, if You have never synced with iTunes before, it might just be easier for you to backup with iCloud. You can restore from the backup when you get the replacement iPad.

  • VBA Merge PDFs - Error when first and second PDF are the same

    Using http://khkonsulting.com/2009/03/adobe-acrobat-and-vba-an-introduction/ as a guide, I am able to successfully merge multiple pdf's together into one document using VBA (Access mdb), except when the PDF being merged to has the same name as the next PDF.
    Here's my scenario.  An Access table is updated with a list of reports that need to be printed.  All of these reports are PDF's.  I loop thru this table and merge the PDF's according to an identifier, then print the group.  There are times
    when there are multiple copies of the same report for an identifier.  If the PDF being merged to has the same name of the PDF being merged, an error occurs.  How can I handle this situation?
    Sample data:  This identifier (ESO and Pulling) needs to merge these PDF's (Aaa.PDF) together which happen to have the same name.  Aaa.PDF is trying to merge Aaa.PDF and this throws an error.
    Aaa.PDF ESO  Pulling
    Aaa.PDF ESO  Pulling
    This identifier merges fine despite having the same PDF twice.  But the first PDF is not named the same.  Xxx.PDF is the first PDF and merges the next two into it.  The last two
    are named the same.
    Xxx.PDF  916  Pulling
    Bbb.PDF  916  Pulling
    Bbb.PDF  916  Pulling
    Code:
    pdfDoc1.Open (filesToMerge(1))
    numPages = pdfDoc1.GetNumPages()
    Set pdfDoc2 = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 2 To intNbr - 1
    pdfDoc2.Open (filesToMerge(i))
    If pdfDoc1.InsertPages(numPages - 1, pdfDoc2, 0, pdfDoc2.GetNumPages(), True) = False Then
    MsgBox "Cannot insert pages"
    End If
    pdfDoc2.Close
    Next i
    If pdfDoc1.Save(PDSaveFull, "C:\....\ReportPacket__" & Trim(CStr(intReportCount)) & "__" & ... & ".pdf") = False Then
    MsgBox "Cannot save the modified document"
    End If
    pdfDoc1.Close
    The pdfDoc1.InsertPages command fails, displays "Cannot insert pages", then displays "Method 'Close' of object 'CAccroPDDoc' failed.
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    Hi
    As far as I know, Access didn't provide such method. But I think you are able to achieve this goal through some 3rd party PDF component
    Hope this will help you.

  • Just locked my Macbook Pro and now it goes straight to recovery.

    I just tried if the lock Mac works on the find my iPhone. My laptop froze and restarted. Now every time I boot, my laptop goes straight to recovery HD. I tried holding option when rebooting and when I chose macintosh HD, it still goes to recovery. It doesn't even ask me for the passcode. My windows bootcamp still works and my mac files are still ok. Apparently I can run my laptop properly but only through safe mode. What should I do?

    When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer,  a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.
