Adobe Reader could not open '2620522_rep.pdf' 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've done the dance with going to Library/internet plug-ins and there isn't anything there that refers to Adobe. I only have 4 plug-ins anyway.
Upload mgr
Content mgr
Picassa
and RocketEngine (which I need to find out what that is and get rid of it if I don't need it.)
I don't have Silverlight (which I hear will interfere).
I've got Adobe set up in settings to update automatically. I went to Adobe regardless and went to install Adobe reader and it said I already had it installed.
Anyone have an idea where to go from here?
Thanks in advance...

From the Safari menu bar, select
Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
iPhotoPhotocast
Java
QuickTime
Shockwave Flash
WebKit built-in PDF (absent in OS X 10.9 and later)

Safari will not open or download pdf files from web?

Safari will not open or downlaod pdf files from web? IS there a setting, or something else to do this?

Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox

Why can't I open or download PDF files in Firefox. In Safari PDF files open automatic. Firefox won't open anything.

Does this help?

Cannot open a downloaded pdf file..."The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format."

I have had this problem several times lately: I cannot open a downloaded pdf file. The error message reads: "The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format." But, of course, it is a pdf file.

My MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5) is running OS X 10.9.4. Here is what happens when reading an online user manual that I want to save to the Desktop and read later as a PDF file on my iPad or phone. With Safari I will select "Export As PDF" and the file shows up on the desktop. Even after multiple trials, there will be a dialogue box indicating the file cannot be opened. If I check the file info, the size is "zero." Trying to save the file as a pdf using the Print menu yields the same results. I have tried both of these methods using Preview, Adobe Reader, and PDF Pen Pro. This strange behavior also occurred several weeks ago and I finally abandoned the effort. But when the same thing happens twice, it becomes an issue that needs to be resolved.

Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8 and 10.9, I cannot open newly downloaded pdf files. Please help! Thanks.

Hi,
Since upgrading my Mac OS X from 10.6.8 to firstly, 10.8 and then, 10.9, I have not been able to open new pdf files on either Preview or Acrobat Reader.
I can still open previously downloaded pdf files but not new ones.
I can still open new pdf files online. However, when I save a pdf to my computer, I cannot open them anymore.
I upgraded to 10.8 a couple of weeks ago and then accepted a free upgrade to Maverick (10.9) this morning. I was hoping that by upgrading to Maverick, I would be able to open pdf files again but alas, that is not the case.
I really need to open pdf files as a matter of urgency as I do this on a daily basis. I am not a computer whizz so if anyone can help find a simple yet effective solution to my problem, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

When I try to open a downloaded pdf file, I receive this message:
"It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
Yet, when I try to open pdf files downloaded whilst still using Mac OS X 10.6.8, they open as normal. So what is the problem, please?
I have deleted Adobe Reader and re-installed it. Yet, it follows the same pattern as above. The same is true of Preview. It's really frustrating because it means I can only open new pdf files using Safari (so I have to be online to do this). I need to be able to open pdf files when I'm offline as well.
Thanks.

Can't open or download pdf files

Much of the time I am unable to open pdf files on websites, or download them. Sometimes it works, but mostly not. When downloading doesn't work, I get a window with the front page of the document I want displayed, but I can't scroll to other pages, and it doesn't download. (I have it preferences set to download to my Desktop, and normally download other types of files.)
When I click to display pdf files, I get a new Safari window with a Quicktime logo in the middle.
I have re-downloaded the lastest version of Adobe Acrobat reader, incase that helped.
I have been living with this, thinking it's one of the prices of using Mac, but surely there's a solution?

Can someone help me with a similar problem? Safari
used to work fine, but now, when I click on a link in
a webpage that should give me a pdf file, I just get
a blank page with the url for the link showing above
in the address space. There is no download happening
at all. I find I can download them using Explorer,
but I don't want to use Explorer. I have OS 10.4.8
and Adobe Reader 7.0.5. Thanks for any help.
After reinstalling Safari, etc., I tried installing the Schubert plug-in mentioned in an e-mail above. It didn't work until I went into Adobe preferences and turned off the instruction telling it to display downloaded pdf files. Suddenly, voila! I'm downloading files fast into the browser, and can save them fast to my desktop. So, thanks, whoever it was that suggested that little plug-in.

When I try to open a downloaded PDF file it opens for about 6 seconds and then closes - how can I fix that?

I am using a Dell XPS8500 desktop with 64 bit Windows 7.
No problem downloading PDF files but when I open them they disappear before I can print.

Hello,
Which application are you trying to open the PDF files in? Firefox or Adobe Reader? Or another?
If adobe reader then please make sure that your copy is up to date. You can get the latest version here - http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
Also I notice that you are using Firefox 19. Unless you have a particular reason to run an old version of Firefox is it much better to keep updated. The latest version is v22. New security fixes are applied in every new version of Firefox. Without them your PC is vulnerable. Please see this article: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

I have a problen in opening or downloading pdf file from firefox browser.

I am not able to view or download PDF files in firebox browser from varies site such as http://www.careerjunction.org.in .it simply shows black page and then blank.I check the add on list and it shows me Adobe firefox plugin.Pls help as every time i has to copy the PDF url from firefox to IE to download.

Hi BalusC,
thanks for your immediate response.
as you correctly pointed out its not XLS but a csv file that works fine.
I just tried my luck for XLS file, but as you said it does not work for XLS file as well. original file contained images which were lost
after the download and garbage characters got inserted in.
I will have a look at the code you have given link of.
but for reading/writing I am using inputstream/outputstream but doing that through reader and writer.
like this
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(
fileName.toString()), charsetName));
and for writing
outputStream = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
response.getOutputStream(), charsetName));
you mean to say I should not use reader writer?

Safari 2.01 crashes when downloading PDF files

Since I updated to Safari 2.01 I have been unable to download Acrobat PDF files from any site. When I click on the download, Safari just quits and I'm left with a message telling me that it has unexpectedly quit.
Before I updated Safari it worked fine. I've also tried re-installing Safari 2.01 and resetting it.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue please?

Two of us are also suffering with this (please see other thread).
Hopefully someone from Apple will read this and help us.

Adobe Reader X 10.1.1: Can't open or download PDF-file from bank

Hello,
I make internet banking and try to download a PDF-file from the HTTPS-page of my bank. If I click on the Java Script-link to the PDF-file the PDF-file does not open. I can also not download the PDF-file. I talked with the bank support and they told me that they had no such problem.
Thank you for your help.

I am getting the exact error trying to down load bank statements but when I go to 'uncheck' the "Do not save encrypted page to disk" box it is ALREADY unchecked. Can't get my bank statements down loaded. Any other suggestions. Need help quick.

Safari crashes while trying to download PDF files

Recently every time I try to download a PDF file from a website while in Safari, the Safari program crashes. How do I fix this?

Go to Library/Internet Plug-ins and delete AdobePDFViewer.plugin.
Restart Safari 3, and the crashes will disappear...

Firefox opens when downloading PDF file while running IE9

Having problems displaying a PDF file (very low resolution & bad contrast). So I tried IE9. When I click on the link, Firefox opens to display the PDF "Swett/Sweet", even when Firefox is not running.
Page with the file "Swett/Sweet" is pg 34 at this URL https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/images/d/d8/Digitalbooks2012julygenealogies.pdf
Other files seem to be OK. Was told by the Admin at familysearch.org that they could not duplicate the problem but were using Chrome.

Usually when you uncheck that setting, the browser will ask you whether you want to Open or Save the file. Do you get that prompt, or just nothing?
I've probably used IE9 for less than 5 minutes, so if there is something new about the way it handles PDFs compared to earlier versions, I wouldn't know.

I am trying to upload a downloaded pdf file, but cannot open the downloaded files

I am trying to open 2 downloaded pdf files (ticketmaster tickets) from 4/23/11 so that I can upload them to stubhub.com and sell them. I can't even open a pdf file that I downloaded today? Plus, the pdf files are not being saved in my download file on my C disk as I have specified. Any suggestions?

I am 99.9% certain that all pages were uploaded. You can confirm this by downloading it and checking to see that it's all there.
The problem is that the file previewer within Workspaces.acrobat.com only displays the first 50 pages.
You might try our other file storage service at files.acrobat.com. The previewer there displays all pages of uploaded PDFs.

The Downloaded PDF file does not contain the Signature through BSP pages

HI,
We have an requirement for Distributing the FORM 16 to all Employee's through our Website, where the user will login and download his own FORM 16 ( TDS Certificate)
This FORM 16 ( TDS Certificate ) is generated in SAP ( ECC 6.0 ) in Payroll Module.
To satisfy the above requirement we have done the following steps.
1) First we have modified the standards SAP Sapscript(Layout) to incorporate the Signature of Authorised Payroll Person.
We have done this by uploading the BMP file ( though t-code SE78 ) and then calling this file in the Standards layout which prints the FORM 16 document.
2) WE also Modifed the Dirver program to Download the above document in a .PDF file.
The Program creates the seperate file for each employee and assigns the employee number as a file name to each downloaded file. These all files are downloaded on a Users Machine.
We opened the Downloaded .PDF files, and checked for the Signatures. The Signature were comming perfect as it ws uploaded.
3) We uploaded these all FORM 16 PDF file off all emlpoyee's to a different SERVER ( BW 7.0 ). With the help of BASIS person, using the FTP utility.
4) We wrote a BSP program to download this ulploaded PDF Files.
BUT we are facing a PROBLEM in the DOWNLOADED PDF file.
The Downloaded file does not contain the Signature which is there is the Original file we uploded this server.
All other data in the dowloaded PDF file is Perfect other than the Signature.
When we open the downlaoded PDF file it give's following message on the Signautre page.
" Xobject not found named 00013"
The number of the Object comes different to different files.
We are using Function module 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING' to Convert string to Xstring
We are using the the " CALL METHOD CL_BSP_UTILITY=>DOWNLOAD" for downloading the PDF file.
Please suggest some solution if you can
Thanks in advnace.
