Unable to save or print .pdf using Safari 7.02. and Reader 11.0.6. (reinstalled reader) files ("save

Using Mac 10.9.2 and Reader 11.0.6 and Safari 7.0.2, problem seems to be linked to Safari
Files - using "save as" (.pdf) or "print as" (.pdf) appear as adobe single-page blank documents.  When attempting to open them the following error message appears: "Adobe Reader could not open "filename.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).
Files created under previous versions of Reader are fine.  No problem converting an existing .doc to .pdf using  Reader 11.0.6
Any suggestions?

Hi ramsey32 ,
Thank You for posting in the forums. Kindly help with the information listed below for further assistance.
1) Does the PDF open fine in safari
2) Do you get a floating toolbar at the bottom, if yes, choose the save icon from there to save the PDF
3) Do the files open fine with Preview?
Thanks,
Vikrantt Singh

  • Cannot save or print pdf from safari in Snow Leopard

    Just recently have been unable to save or print PDF documents from two different websites using either Safari or FireFox on Snow Leopard (10.6). The same websites can be accessed, saved or printed on a different computer using Safari and Lion (10.7). Looking for help.

    Found a previous post that suggested doing a Right Click on the PDF form in the Safari Window and then printing from the pop-up menu. This does work. Also, on one of the PDF forms there was a pop-up menu at the bottom of the form that appears only when you move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the form. From this memu I could either save or print. But, just using the Safari File>Print command did not work.
    Although both of the alternate techniques work, it is still a mystery why this behavior should suddenly appear.

  • Want to save multiple printer settings using an OfficeJet 8600 and Windows7

    I recently bought an OfficeJet 8600 to replace an old OfficeJet L7590. I'm dismayed to discover that the new 8600 does not have the ability to save multiple print configurations. Using the L7590, I was able to combine paper size, orientation, print quality, colour/B&W setting, duplex, etc. and save with a custom name. It was then easy to select from a range of preset configurations each time I printed. Now, on the 8600, I have to dig three layers into the menu and individually set each one of the options - EVERY TIME I PRINT! It seems that Mac users still have the ability to save configurations, at least in a limited way, but not Windows users. What gives?

    The default settings can be set as follows:  Click Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the Officejet 8600 and select "Printing Preferences".  Make the changes you would like and Apply.
    The L7590 driver is likely compatible with the Officejet 8600, you could also just  install the L7590 driver and change the "port" settings to point at the 8600.  You could then use the features you like...  Post back here if you want to try this out, I could provide more details.

  • No longer able to save to a .PDF using Acrobat 8 Pro and any CS3 program

    I spent several hours on phone with Apple and Adobe today-It seems that Snow Leopard and Anything below Acrobat Pro 9 and InD 4 are no longer compatible for exporting, printing or saving as a .PDF.  Using Acr. Pro 8 and InD CS 3  Anyone find a fix as yet?  I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
    I am a MAC user for less than 2 years.  Do I have to update Adobe Suite every time it upgrades?  Very financially draining, as I am not a Graphic Artist.
    Apple Tech-always wonderful-but unable to help sent me this : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
    .PDF printer continues to work very well on all programs not ADOBE.
    Right now my only work around is to send my InD file to a friend who had InD CS4 and ask him to save to PDF for me and sent back file!
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    PS_Adobe wants me to Pay $39 to speak with a Tech support agent-This is already a documented issue.  Not a "my MAC" issue.  I find this disturbing.

    There is no necessity to upgrade your copy of Creative Suite every two years.
    However, apparently you chose to upgrade your operating system version. Was there any necessity of doing that, especially doing so very quickly after it was released? For better or worse, Apple does not regard ongoing application compatibility as a requirement for their new OS releases. Thus, if you upgrade versions of MacOS, be prepared to (1) upgrade your applications as well and (2) possibly endure a period of time in which the applications don't work under the new OS version until the application vendor can re-jigger their code to deal with the upwards-incompatible OS changes.
    These issues are not confined to Adobe applications, but also affect Microsoft Office and any significantly complex applications that are provided directly by Apple themselves. There is nothing we at Adobe can do about this and we like this situation no more than you do.
    This is not the first time these problems of upward-incompatible OS releases have plagued users and application vendors. It took Apple until 10.5.6 to get some level of stability in the 10.5.x (Leopard) OS release so that it was reasonably usable with most third party applications, drivers, etc.
    I suggest you also vent to St. Steve (the Infallible) of Cupertino!

  • Unable To Set Custom Print Margins In Safari 5.0.2

    Help Please!!
    I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to change the "default" margins Safari uses when printing. I have selected different print drivers, added custom paper sizes, even changed monitor resolution – all to no avail. I am trying to format some web content for letter size printing and it looks as though I will have to give in to the quarter-inch top, left, right and half-inch bottom margins Safari so persistently imposes.
    I am hoping there is at least one other out there who has fretted over this issue as I have. Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for the quick response!
    Firefox does seem to have a much more reliable printing engine. Unfortunately, I am using a number of webkit CSS attributes available only within Safari. Gradients being one of these. Perhaps it's time to give up on them and simply render these custom layout elements as images... It's a pity really! Webkit delivers some very promising new technology for cross-media content delivery, yet without reliable print/pdf output control, these technologies and techniques are essentially useless.
    I did leave feedback on this issue. Perhaps Apple will come up with a solution before I am forced to rebuild. .I most certainly would appreciate additional ideas and suggestions.
    Thanks again

  • Unable to view flash in PDF in Safari

    Hello,
    We recently upgraded to PDF Reader XI and Flash player on our MAC computer. We have PDF files with flash content embedded. When we open these PDFs using Safari browser on MAC we are unable to view flash content in PDF. However if we download then we can see flash content in PDF Reader XI.
    How do we view flash content within Safari directly?
    Thanks

    In the Safari Preferences, under Security, make sure that "Allow all other plug-ins" is checked in both Mac and Windows versions

  • I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. Why?

    I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
    Thank you.

    Might be a corrupted database ...
    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.

    Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • How to print (save) pages as PDF in Safari?

    I´m running Lion, we´re getting better acquainted. However, with Safari I´m having problems when I try to save a web page as a PDF using the Print-Save PDF options. It tells me the file cannot be saved. I try duplicating, exporting, etc, and the only solution I´ve found is to email the document, which, when attatched to the email arrives as a PDF with no problem whatsoever. This is silly (close to dancing infront of my MacBook Pro with a black chicken spitting rum in all directions). Please help!

    Hi ...
    Might be a plugin causing this..
    Quit Safari.
    Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.

  • Whewn using Firefox 5, I can't save or print PDF's from the Federal Court Websites. It might be about associating files in Firefox

    Internet Explorer works for this but Firefox does not. And, it is only the PDF's on the U.S. Court System's Pacer or CM/ECF websites.

    I had been having a similar problem with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
    I would constantly get messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
    But at last I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons too!.
    This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
    Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
    I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

  • Only headers and footers appear attempting to print PDFs in Safari 5.0.2

    I am a Mac user trying to help my friend, who uses Safari 5.0.2 on his PC. He can open PDFs within Safari, but when he attempts to print them, all that appears are headers and footers (same thing appears in Print Preview).
    Any suggestions?

    One thing that might be worth a try is uninstalling and then reinstalling his Adobe Reader, Don. (The theory is that that should swap out the nppdf32.dll file governing the Adobe PDF plugin used by Safari.)
    Any better printing performance following the Reader reinstall?

  • No longer possible to save or print PDF files from browsers

    I am suddenly having a problem saving or printing PDF files from the browser, but it extends to all browsers in OS X. I can view the PDF normally but if I try to print as PDF all it shows is two black pages. Then if I try to save as a PDF it tells me the document could not be exported. I just tried this with a PDF and the only way I could get it was via Windows running on Parallels. I've already tried resetting the printer by removing and adding it again with the alt key pressed but this made no difference.
    This all started about a week or so ago and I just ignored it at first thinking it was something wrong with a particular file but now it's happening in all cases. I'm running the latest 10.7.3 on a new Mac Pro and everything is up to date. Does anybody know what might be causing this?
    Thanks

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
    ☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.
