Safari will not properly Export as PDF. Files have zero bytes.

Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

TA21328 Safari will not display or open PDF files. Unable to view imovies

I resently had a new hard drive installed by the Apple store and they installed Snow Lepard which was my provious OS. I did restore all my files using My Passport Studio and everything what fine except for two things. I cannot open PDF files through Safari and I am not able to view any of my imovies.

If you have them, you might want to delete either or both of the below mentioned files from the following location “/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/” and install Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat again. Reader and Acrobat have preference items for whether to use them to manage PDFs in Safari.
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
Do you have some iMovie project files in iMovie Events and iMovie Projects in your Home folder's Movies folder? Those might be where your "imovies" are. If you did have some, but don't now, then they may be the items you need to restore from a backup. Other than that, I'm not sure what you mean by "imovies", so can you include the steps you take to view "imovies" in a reply, please? Thanks.

HT2500 Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files)

Using Mail in System X 5.8 It will not accept attachments (photos, pdf files) to send. It was working just fine and after some period of non-use it just stopped accepting attachments to send. The system is all up to date. And, I have the same problem on two different Imacs.

I had exactly the same problem as arthur1234. I followed his own suggested fix in his post of 10/12/2012 at 9:31 AM.
His fix worked perfectly. Attachments are now being sent and received as they have been for the last 10 years or so.

Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files

Ever since I upgraded to Marvericks, Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files. How can I fix this. It previously worked fine.
I create tagged pdf files in InDesign to be compatible with 508 accessibility standards.The files read aloud on a Mac with OS X Lion but not on Mavericks.

no, still no resolution. It is very frustrating. I did have one 8 page document that it will read the first page but nothing else.
Did you find an answer?

Safari will not let me save pdf

im not sure but Safari 5.1.5 will not let me save pdf?

A couple of thoughts. It appears there may be two issues--one is saving a PDF that Safari has loaded in the browser window, while the second (which is the one John was talking about) is saving a standard HTML page as a PDF document.
For the PDF loaded in Safari: Is it possible you might have loaded up a third party PDF ready (like Adobe Acrobat Reader) that might have installed itself to handle PDFs in Safari? I've not checked, but wonder if that might disable the "normal" Safari options that would be available with Preview.
If the PDF is displayed, you should get a black box at the bottom of the window if you place the mouse cursor there while Safari has focus. While not perfect, if you select the far right icon it will save the PDF to your Downloads folder. If you select the second from the right, it will load the PDF into a stand-alone instance of your standard PDF reader and from there you would be able to save the file anywhere you want using a Save As command in the reader.
For HTML to PDF--that is controlled with the Print command, using the option at the lower left of the print dialog to print to PDF (which is the menu John showed you). That works for all files *except* PDFs (since printing a password protected PDF to a new PDF would effectively strip the password and would also strip out other features of the PDF, you aren't allowed to print PDFs to PDF).

Will not print anything but Pdf files!

If I try to print anything at all other than a PDF file from Adobe only(other readers will not even work) very little of the page prints if anything at all. For example, I was trying to print a shipping label off of the website, and the only thing that would print was the barcode. Nothing else. I actually had to convert it to a pdf file and open it with Adobe, and then it printed perfectly. I have tried reinstalling, restarting, using the HP support doctor, which says absolutely nothing is wrong with my printer. I am at a loss to why it will only print pdf files from Adobe. Can anyone please help me?! I forgot to mention it worked perfectly about a month ago. We don't print a whole lot and didn't notice it was messed up until just a few days ago.

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that when printing from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP Deskjet 1512 All-in-One Printer, nothing is printing, except Adobe PDF files. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now, you indicate in your post that you had tried to print a shipping label from a website, and only the barcode prints. However, if you open the file up and print it from Adobe it appears to print fine. This leads me to believe that the actual issue that is occuring is a print system issue with the black cartridge. I know it may come as a surprise to hear that as Adobe is printing fine. However, when you print from certain programs on your computer the file is sent to the printer as an 'image' file. If your printer 'thinks' it is printing an image it will use a mixture of colour ink and black to print the black document. Therefore, what you may actually be seeing when you print from Adobe is colour ink mixed. To start troubleshooting I am going to have you print a Quality Diagnostics Report from your printer and this will help us to isolate this printing issue. Please follow the steps below. How to Print a Quality Report: Load clean, white U.S. Letter or A4 paper in the input tray, if necessary.Press and hold the Power button. While holding down the Power button, press and hold the Cancel button. Hold them both down for 2 or 3 seconds.The test page prints. (1) Printed with the tri-colour cartridge(2) Printed with the black cartridge If this Report prints perfectly: Then the printing issue that you're experiencing is not being caused by your products print system. Rather, there may be a driver conflict occuring between your Windows computer and your printer. Please do not proceed with troubleshooting at this time. If this Report prints with missing black or other quality issues: Then the printing issue that you're experiencing is being caused by your products print system. To resolve this hardware issue can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please choose the Windows 8 dropdown. Next, follow the steps under Solution one, Solution five, Solution six, and Solution seven. This includes any sub steps under the listed Solutions to complete. Once troubleshooting has been completed please print another Quality Diagnostics Report to confirm if the issue has been resolved. Please respond to this post with the result of printing the Quality Diagnostics Report. I look forward to hearing from you!

Firefox or Adobe will not allow downloading useable PDF files anymore. Started with last update of Adobe/Firefox.

For the last few days, I think it was after an update in Firefox or an update in Adobe reader, I cannot save a PDF file from the web and then open it with either Adobe Reader or PDFlite.
The file opens and I can read it just fine within Firefox using Adobe Reader, I guess as a plug in.
But if I save the file as a PDF it saves just fine, with a PDF extension, but when I try to read the PDF file with Adobe or PDFlite it gives an error message - "Adobe Reader could not open <filename> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I download a lot of datasheets so this is suddenly a major problem for me.
Thanks - Don

Hi Don, there might not be an advantage for you if Adobe works well for you. There are some articles on the motivation for developing a non-proprietary PDF reader -- which is definitely a work-in-progress -- but I don't have the references handy.
Let me tackle some of those individual items:
(1) Unknown publisher warning. This is odd, do you notice that with any other downloads?
It might be a feature of Windows download security. By default, Firefox marks downloads as having come from the internet. You can turn that off by turning off Firefox's antivirus integration. Your real-time AV software still will check files once they are downloaded; this feature is really for people who do not have full-time AV, only on-demand AV.
To toggle that setting:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful. This is Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to switch it from true to false. You're done with about:config.
Does that affect the warning?
(2) Where do you see "Save as PDF"?
I have "Save Page As" on the menu. That worked when I tried a simple PDF. By worked I mean it opened without complaint in Adobe Reader. I suspect it's doing the same thing as the download button.

Safari will not properly logon to or display certain pages.

I have started having a problem with Safari not loading some pages correctly or even logging on pages correctly. When I try to log on to http://www.t-mobile.com/. It looks like it logged in correctly, but them I am redirected back to a page as if my username and password were in correct. I double checked my username and password using FireFox and it worked fine. I have also had problems with other java intensive sites (http://home.cards.citidirect.com). They simply will not load. All I get is a blank page. I go to the same site using FireFox and they load with no problem. I have tried clearing the cache, deleting cookies, and even resetting Safari. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??

T-mobile page worked for me. Citicards page was blank. It may be a dead link or coded for windows.

Safari saves pdf files as zero bytes

Every time I save a web page that is a pdf, Safari makes a zero bytes file. Its blank of course! Very annoying. Other web browsers dont do this. Any ideas?
Thanks

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
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.

Safari will not open after deleting bookmark file

I have a new Imac with 16GB Ram and 2TB hard drive. I have been getting messages that:

I read where this could be a bookmark issue when my old bookmarks from my 2007 were imported into the new computer. Upon recommendation of another user in the apple support community I did the following:
Back to a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly has you see it here:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Click Go
Move the Bookmarks.plist file to the Trash.
I emptied my trash and now Safari won't open at all. I'm unsure if this will solve my memory issue, but I would at least like to have access to the Safari program. Any help to get Safari operational again, and then info on what to do about the memory problem.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Using Adobe Forms and document will not convert to a PDF file

I just purchased the Forms add on pack today and I was able to create a form with no trouble. I would like to have the form downloaded as a PDF (which is an option in this package) and I keep getting and error message that says Adobe is unable to download the form at this time. I tried opening and downloading the form on different computers at my work, all generating the same error message. Is there an Adobe issue, or could this be a security feature that is not enabled on my highly blocked/monitored work computer that I have limited control over? I can view the form as a link, embedded URL, and web form, just having so much difficulty getting it to open as a PDF, really the only way I want to use this program. If this is a temporary problem, then I can wait until its resolved, however, if I can never open any forms I create as a PD, the package is useless to me.

TSN,
No, I'm not "subscribed" to anything and I never, ever access the forum by email. No replies ever "come to me". I don't see any "Link", because I don't get any stinking email.
What you may not realize (my American spelling) is that the forums are designed primarily to be accessed through your web browser in the forum web interface. Another disadvantage to accesing the forum by email is that you cannot see any edits to any post, as edits are not broadcast by email.
When I see a reply addressed to me, I always will try to correct any misunderstandings that may arise in other readers of the forum. It's not all about you.

Now you can see that you have wasted your time with your totally off-target post.
