PDFs to be downloaded from iWeb

I've got a SERIOUS problem with data to be downloaded from iWeb. Setting a hyperlink to "data" and then choosing the desired file does not work, and I can't find a solution. Normally the file (A .pdf-file, created by Quark XPress, appr. 2.7 MB) should be automatically embedded when publishing to the Web (via Transmit, not to MobileMe, but to another provider). When testing the site on my Mac, download will work, as it downloads the original file from the location on my hard disk, but when published, I encounter "Error 404" (file not found). If anybody has solutions or suggestions, I'd be thankful! Could it be, that the pdf-file should be processed by Acrobat Pro before establishing a link? (I havn'tried that yet).

When you use "Link to: A file" in the link inspector the PDF is loaded with the page which is not a brilliant idea. However, it will work if you ZIP the PDF by selecting "Compress" in the the Finder/File Menu.
Better to have a download folder on your server and upload the zipped PDF. The URL is ....
http://www.website.com/FolderName/FileName.pdf.zip
When clicked in the browser, the PDF will download to the users desktop.

    You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

  • Direct print a pdf document when download from a website

    Hi, all
    Is that possible to print automatically when a pdf is download from a website with a acrobat plugin?

    Don't think it is possible. If so, it would be with JavaScript. Be prepared to get complaints -- I sure would.

  • Where do I find a PDF that I download from email on iPad mini?

    I received a PDF attachment in my hotmail acct.  I clicked on the file and got a message that it is downloading then the little circle showing download progress disappeared but I cannot find the document? I looked in pages, iBooks, notes to no avail...pls help!

    The PDF will have downloaded inside the Mail App.  You should be able to tap and hold the File icon in the email to get the Open In option so you can save it in any App you want that can read the file. i.e iBooks or Adobe Reader for instance.

  • Can't open pdf files after downloading from Safari 6.0.5

    I was wondering whether anyone else has encountered this bug. Ihave a retina MBP with Safari and Firefox. If I save a pdf to the desktop via Safari I get the following message when I try to open it "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
    When I download the same file via Firefox, it opens no problem.
    It would, therefore seem to be a Safari 6.0.5 pdf problem, rather than an Adobe Acrobat Pro (11.0.3).
    I have tried with both extension displayed and not displayed options, no difference.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks for reading.

    I encountered the same problem.  In my case, the culprit was a plug-in in the Internet Plug-Ins sub-folder of my User Account's Library folder.
    Here's how I proceeded, based on a suggestion by Carolyn Samit here:
    <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5117605?start=0&tstart=0>
    1. Open the Finder.
    2. In the Finder menu bar, click on the heading Go.  Scroll down to "Go to Folder," and then click the mouse button again.
    3. Copy the following phrase:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    and then paste that phrase into the field in the navigation window that appeared at the end of Step 2.
    3. Click Go.
    4.  If you find a plug-in named AdobePDFViewer.plugin, drag it to the Trash.
    5. Quit and then relaunch Safari.  Then try to load in Safari a PDF from a web site.  Then try saving it.  Once saved/downloaded, try opening the PDF.
    When I followed this procedure, the corrupted-PDF problem went away, thanks to Ms. Samit's suggestion.

  • When pdf files are downloaded from the net they show up in different fonts like its encrypted?

    when we try to download pdf files from the internet the document shows up weird like the file is encrypted. the files show up with lots of spaces and numbers and letters mixed together. what can we do to fix this problem?

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

  • Photo downloading from iweb

    When I set up my web page, I'm pretty sure I had set it up so that people could view my photos, but would be unable to downloads the photos from my site. Recently though, it seems that this has changed. How do I prevent this from happening?

    Yes I have and there is no button on the published website.
    One of the tricks I read about in this forum to stop people control clicking a photo to download it goes like this...
    Drop another photo over the one you want to protect and drag it out to exactly cover it. Select this "cover" photo and in the "objects" inspector pull the opacity slider down to 1%. Your "real" photo will appear but when control clicked in a browser the "cover" photo is downloaded. As you can imagine a lot of fun can be had by all!
    I know this is not a practical solution for a large number of photos but you could at least use it on the ones you think somebody might steal.
    The standard protection is to put a copyright notice on each photo so that, if somebody does use it for commercial purposes, you have legal recourse.
    eg Copyright © Roddy McKay - 2007 - All Rights Reserved
    Put this in a text box on the photo itself so that it is downloaded as part of it.
    The copyright symbol © is done by typing "option" g. I use an application called Typinator which lets me type an abbreviation to achieve the copyright notice. This speeds up this process. There are applications out there for the specific purpose of watermarking photos. Try a Version Tracker search.

  • Can't "comment" on shared pdf that I downloaded from Blackboard?

    We're supposed to highlight and insert text boxes on a pdf from Blackboard, and I can't even click on the buttons for those.  They're faded.  Please help soon!

    If the document has not been Reader-enabled to allow commenting, then you normally won't be able to add comments. Reader 10 allows you to add sticky note and text highlight comments if the document doesn't have security settings that would restrict commenting. Previous versions of Reader required that the document be Reader-enabled, which is a process done using Acrobat or server-based software from Adobe.

  • Adobe pdf does not fully download from mail.  Is there an adobe application that will do the job fully? The pdf is a download from an email attachment.

    A friend sent a pdf to me attached to an email.  I looked at it with my pc; the mac only shows a portion of the file.  It is an adobe file.  Is this common?  Is there a fix?  Is preview not capable of fully opening an adobe file?  Has anyone else had a similar issue?

    For example, I can't open this pdf file  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM1294E.pdf
    I get this message:
    To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

  • 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!

  • Downloaded from Mail .pdfs being renamed

    I noticed that some .pdfs I'm downloading in the mail from a client with some specific names to help me determine when I post them in iWeb whether it's the password-protected .pdf or the non-password protected .pdf are being renamed using the client's email name and numbers instead of the name he sent them. I see the correct item in the mail, but after it's downloaded it is a completely different name. How can I stop that?

    Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

  • With OSX10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02 when I try to open a PDF downloaded from the web I get 'There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired. Preview will not open either. Older PDFs OK.

    I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Adobe Reader 11.0.02. In the last few days I have been unable to open PDF's downloaded from the web. Reader gives the error message 'There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired'. Removing Reader and trying to use Preview to open these files give the error 'Preview cannot open this file. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise' (or something like that). Downloading the same files with Reader removed from my Mac Preview opens the files OK.
    I was recently prompted to update Adobe software but did not note exactly what the update was nor when it was done.
    Reader and Preview will both open PDFs I downloaded a week ago. Reader will also open files downloaded on another Mac running OS X 10.0.0 and copied to my Mac. Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below 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 the letters “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.
    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.
