Unable to download pdf

I just downloaded I E 8 and now I can't open any files.  I don't know if it's IE or Adobe and I really don't care I just need to get it fixed.

I just found a simple solution.  Click tools-internet options-advanced-and under browsing uncheck "enable third-party browser extensions" this is an add on in IE8 that is not needed or causes problems with yahoo.  I also cleared my cookies, I don't think that played any part in it.

  • Unable to download pdf file in windows 8.1

    After upgrading to windows 8.1, i have been unable to download pdf files sent via yahoo email, IE11 and Adobe Reader 11.  Did not have this problem before with windows 8.  I click on the pdf attachment, NOrton says that the file is safe but nothing happens.  Am unable to save the file to my computer either.  Have already reloaded Adobe Reader repeatedly, drivers for window 8.1 associated with the hardware on my system, newest version of internet explorer,, upgraded drivers for my Canon printer and still no downloads!!!
    Can anybody help?  Microsoft community unable to give anymore suggestions.

    Wrong forum (this is Digital Editions), but ...
    I find .pdf files often won't launch properly on my Win8.1.  It starts the process but it doesn't do the right thing.
    Try making sure you don't have any copies of Reader working (AcroRd32.exe on my 32 bit Win 8.1).
    Start a copy from the start screen (or start menu if you've set one up) BEFORE you try to access the file.
    Now try to do the download or open it from the downloads directory.
    I find that way the file will open properly.

  • I am unable to download pdf which is redirected from flex in google chrome...

    I am unable to download pdf which is redirected from flex in google chrome...  Although it works fine in other browsers .... and also more one thing is that it happens when it uses flash/Flex to redirect the pdf in modal popup

    When you write "download", do you mean download, or open in the Chrome PDF viewer?

  • HT1750 unable to download pdf files with the new lion instillation

    I am unable to download pdf files after installing lion.

    I have an imac purchased 4/2010 and same thing happened to me but can't find anyone to address it. The real tragedy here is that I paid for the full adobe creative suite, web premium back in 2010 and Adobe Pro can't open them, although it worked just fine before. Then I installed the latest version of Adobe reader and tried changing that to my default and that doesn't work either.
    It's pretty lame that I have to go on my boyfriends windows pc to open and print a .pdf as the only alternative. I did not read about this when researching whether or not to upgrade to lion from snow leopard otherwise I would not have kept the old operating system.
    Why isn't apple addressing this???

  • Unable to download pdf files from emails or websites

    I used to be able to download pdf files from emails and websites on my Windows vista 2007 computer, but am now unable to save or download them.  Is there something I need to adjust in my security system which hasn't changed?

    If you're using Vista it's the same procedure as with Windows 7 (which I use) From Tools>Internet Options, click the Programs tab, and then click the Set Programs button. In Windows 7 this will open the Control Panel>Default Programs window. From there you want to click Associate a file type or protocol with a program. Scroll down the list to Portable Document Format (PDF). click it and click the Change Program button. Choose Adobe Reader as the default program, click Ok and then PDFs will download instead of opening in IE.

  • Unable to download pdf files from websites

    For a month now I have been unable to dowload PDF Files from websites.
    I have un-installed Adobe Software & re-installed hoping this would solve
    this on going problem. But I am afraid it has not this problem seems to
    have accured since the latest up date of Sarfari I trust Apple are coming up with
    some sort of solution to this current problem ??

    Far as I know the problem isn't on Apple's end. I'm download PDF files with no problem. But I've experienced what you are in the past and I think you were on the right track when you suspected Adobe. In the main Library folder (not the one in your personal directory) there's a folder called Internet Plugins. Look inside for a file called AdobePDFViewer and delete it. If I remember properly, you force Adobe Reader to install a new one by just starting Reader and it will ask if you want to install the PDF reader. Or, you might want to look at this plugin which, in my opinion, beats Adobe's plugin hands down.

  • Unable to download PDF files

    Hello,
    I have installed on my desktop computer the following products: Adobe AIR, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX, and Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10).  However, I am unable to download the PDF files that I need to use for work.  On my laptop, I have these exact programs and I don't have any problems downloading the PDF files I need on there.  Is there something obvious that I may be missing that is keeping me from downloading the files I need on my desktop?
    Thanks,
    Kala

    This is resolved. I discovered that Abode Reader was not set as my default PDF reader.  All documents were being sent to Microsoft Word, and it could not open them.

  • Unable to download PDF docs with Safari

    I cannot download PDF documents from the internet, using Safari.  All I get is a plain black screen, with the following message: "the document "04_712....._12Sep11_A.pdf" could not be exported as  "Hydro Bill.pdf".  Alternatively, I have absolutely no problem opening PDF documents from files on my computer.  I have downloaded the most recent version of Adobe Reader but that made no difference.  How can I fix this?

    Hi Sue,
    I have downloaded the most recent version of Adobe Reader but that made no difference
    If you updated to Safari 5.1 ...
    Apple Safari 5.1 and Adobe Reader/Acrobat Advisory
    If you upgraded to Lion >  Known Issues | Adobe products on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    BTW.. when you post for help here, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and in this case, which version of Safari. Thanks!

  • Unable to download Pdf page to desktop/file

    Vista SP2
    Adobe 9 Ver 9.2.0
    IE 8
    I AM able to download my Gas Bill Statement in PDF from my provider and and read it.
    When i click the Download to File icon of the PDF gas statement (next to the print icon) nothing happens !
    I AM able to Print a copy on my printer ok.
    Note: I AM able to download to desktop/file all other statements from all my other service providers without any problem.
            When i contacted my Gas Provider with this problem they informed me that they were able to download my statement on two different computers in their offices with no problems stating the problem must be with me !!
             I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe 9 twice with no effect.
    Can you advise as to why i cannot download the GAS PDF statement page to my files but i can evey other service provider PDF statement ?

    "Save Target as" is not available to me....its lettering is a very light pale colour....whereas Save Picture is a dark colour like this...and that is the one i clicked in error as you suggested !
    Why am i unable to activate "Save Target"...what controls this ?
    Dont understand "hover the mouse...." as when i hover the mouse over " View Statemant" you previously asked me to "Save" is on a Briish Gas web page, which does take me to the PDF statement (with a right click)t but once there when i click the Save ti file icon nothing happens.
    I really dont want to use an unknown browser when everything else on my computer requiring PDF works ok..

    Hi ThreeOs
    I am still not able to download the music from my registered PC. Please note that when I connect my phone to a non-registered PC I am able to download music. 
    I am sure that my issue will not be resolved Nokia support say that there is no issue from there side and as per nokia support instructions I have re-registered my PC and still the same issue.  I have sent the attachment to the mail you mentioned. 
    Even if the issue is resolved now its too late as my subcription is ending on 25-Sep-2011 and I am 100% sure that my subscription will not be extended. I have been not able to download music from my registered PC from May onwards that means I should be compensated for 4 months. Can you please help me in this regard.
