What happens when you try?

Safari 5.1.2 not working with USPS Click-N-Ship Label Printing

I use the USPS Click-N-Ship for printing postage labels. Prior to this update the behavior was: I'd enter the label information, check out and click the print button. The labels would be generated and downloaded to my downloads folder and Preview would automatically open the file with the labels. A quick CMD-P and I was all done.
Since the update to 5.1.2 when I tell the post office website to print (ie generate) the label, no label is downloaded, thus nothing can be printed. The post office website behaves normally and acts as though the label was generated and handed off to the OS.
My guess here is that the new PDF handeling is kicking in but because the PDF that's generated has a wacky (Adobe Reader?) extention Safari doesn't know what to do with it. Here's the file name that the USPS generates:
com.usps.cns.web.pdf.LabelGenerationServlet
My workaround today was to use firefox, which will download the above file, then I chage the extention to .pdf, then I can open it in Preview and print. A lot more steps and a lot more hassle. Any ideas on how I can go back to the prior behavior or should I just punt and install Adobe Reader, which is what the post office website is expecting, but I've never needed up until now?

I usually print my labels effortlessly, directly from PayPal after someone pays via PayPal. Yesterday I needed to print after being paid by check so I went directly to the USPS Click/Ship site. So after my label didn't print but USPS charged my account anyway, I called customer service at USPS. After one hour on hold I was given another number for tech support. Another hour later, someone finally answered and told me that Safari just changed and is no longer compatible with their system. Grr.
I asked her why USPS doesn't announce that clearly up front on their site so Mac users won't have to go through all this wasted time and frustration and she said there aren't that many Mac users compared to PC! Are they serious? Really?
Anyway, I suggested the makers of the printing programs make the effort to accommodate us "few" Mac users and she said I have to switch to Mozilla Firefox in order to print my labels. Oh, also I have to wait two weeks for a refund.
I'm no computer whiz but how difficult could it be to allow the applet access to print the label which is generated and showing right there ON THE SCREEN?
Perhaps if enough of us complain, they will consider us Mac users worthy of equal service.

USPS click-n-ship HELP

Until recently I was able to use click-n-ship with either Navigator or IE. Then I had a hard drive failure and Apple's fix was to reformat my HD. Now I no longer have IE and no other browser seems to work for me with click-n-ship. I've tried Safari, Netscape, and Firefox. I've got Acrobat Reader 7.0.7 and the full version of Acrobat 7.0 installed. Any help anyone can give me is much appreciated. Hopefully it's just some setting that I'm too stupid to fix. This isn't life or death, but it sure is nice to be able to print labels from home instead of my lousy Windows machine at the office. As an aside, it all worked just fine with Safari using the old Java system. They should have just left it alone.

Latest update: I tried Safari, Opera, Firefox, and the latest version of Netscape. All acted the same. I could, obviously, use the USPS site, but I could not print click-n-ship labels. Internet Explorer for Mac is no longer available from any download site I could find. So last night I had a revelation and simply draged the IE icon from my wife's laptop to a flash drive. It copied all of the components I needed to install it on mine and darned if it didn't work like a charm. Printed labels perfectly. I still can't explain why firefox and netscape seem to work for some people and not for me, but IE does. That's ALL I'll usee IE for, and only until Safari works, but now I'm golden.
Hope this will help someone.

USPS Click-N-Ship

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to use the Post Office's Click-N-Ship to print
labels for mailing packages. I have dowloaded Adobe Reader Ver 8.0.0.
When I attemtp to print a label, I get a print dialogue box. Hit the print button and nothing happens. I use an Elite 21N laser printer from GCC Technologies.
The Elite Printer's dialogue box shows a document momentarily in the printer's list, then the document disappears from the list.
Thank-you, John

Hi JV,
Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I have come across a very simple solution
(From an advertisement in MacWorld).
There is company called mac.ENDICIA.com. They have a specially designed
interface....which works simply, effortlessly for shipping packages through
the Post Office. There is a monthly fee. I am happy to pay when I do not
spend six hours trying to figure the process. ENDICIAS interface is simple, simple simple.
I really needed simplicity. The idea of saving a document to a different format and then changing programs to print it causes my eyes glazed-over.......let alone the problem with teaching this procedure to others.
Thanks, John

With Firefox 4 I can't print a shipping label off the post office's website (click 'n ship) like I used to with Firefox 3

I go through all the steps to print out a shipping label when I am on the post office's website for click 'n ship, but the website won't communicate with my printer (when I am in firefox 4). So I switched back to Firefox 3 and have no problems.
This happened before in the beta version and I had to switch back to Firefox 3, so I was happy to switch again to Firefox 4 when the completed version came out, but the problem came up again and after all the steps were done to complete the shipping label and I hit the print label button, my printer connection window never popped up so that I could click on it to command my printer to print the label. I am a registered user of click 'n ship on www.usps.com

After waiting forever to talk to some jerk at USPS Click and Ship help, he told me it's an Adobe issue. I didn't ask why it just started happening, but I too just updated to Foxfire 4 recently, it must have something to do with it.
Open your Adobe reader... under programs...mine is called Adobe Reader X
Go to "Edit" in top left...click "Properties"...
Uncheck "display PDF in browser",
Then restart your computer for it to take effect. I am so thankful it worked!

US Postal Service Click-N-Ship label problem

Hi guys. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a fix.
I like to use Click-N-Ship to print my mailing labels with, and while I get a printable label with it, the barcode comes up missing when I view it in Preview.
When I borrow someone's machine that has Acrobat Reader on it, the barcodes show up.
My question is, is there anything that I can do to Preview to have the postal service's labels show up correctly on MY machine without my having to download the Adobe product?
By the way, I showed this to our postal clerk, she told me they'd work without the barcode, but the code would have to be input manually because it can't be scanned. Naturally, if time is of the essence, it's to my advantage if the barcode shows up!
Thanks to any and all in advance for your help.

Another clue: when I tried a label on my home computer, I get indicia or bar codes. My home computer has never had Acrobat Reader on it. My work computer, from which I printed the original label, has both Acrobat Professional and Preview. I wonder if Acrobat corrupts Preview in some way to where it won't read the barcode fonts. I've even trashed the preferences for Preview on my work computer, and it still won't read them. They do come up in Acrobat.
I wonder if the problem is that Acrobat and Preview don't play together nicely?

Click-n-ship

The new Safari comes with inline pdf viewing. Nice, except it does not work with the US Postal Service click-n-ship service. When the USPS site sends the PDF to the browser, safari does not show it inline or give you the option to save it. The work around for now is to use Omniweb, which opens it in Preview.

I am having the same problem. I cannot get Click-n-Ship to print labels on my new expensive imac G5. It does not work in Firefox or Safari. I cannot list anything in Safari. I wish they would have told me this at the Apple Store. The Post Office claims it's an Apple issue, Apple claims its a Post Office issue.
Is there a fix?

FF 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links, after clicking on "open pdf" error message says file not supported or damaged. IE opens file all right. Please advice.

Firefox 6.0 doesn't open pdf-links after clicking on "open pdf". I frequently need to do literature searches and I need to view pdf files in the browser. After clicking on the pdf - link of a file the main options are to open or download the pdf. Every time I try to open a pdf-file a blank page and an error message appears saying the file would not be supported or is damaged. IE, however, opens the file all right. I tried various changes in the security and cookie settings without success. Please advice.

Hi SGckc,
This document is almost certainly a dynamic XFA form. Unfortunately, our mobile Reader does not support displaying or filling such forms. The application that produces this form embeds this message into the document so that non-supportive viewers (like ours) will display this "error" page when the document opens. I do realize that this is confusing and I would like to add some additional detection to our Reader for this case. However, we've avoided doing this for fear of confusing users even further. Your feedback helps though. Hopefully we'll find a way to detect this case and present a better message to the user like: This form is not supported by the mobile version of the Adobe Reader. Please open and fill it on the non-mobile version of the Adobe Reader for Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
Thank you for contacting us!

Why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page?

why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

Not open new tab (empty) when clicking on a .pdf link that can't be read in FF (no plug-in for pdf)

When I click on a pdf file that should be able to be open in Firefox (with plug-in), FF open a new empty tab and ask to open or save the file.
I would like that in case of FF not being able to open the pdf file, it skips the "open empty tab" part and directly go to "open/save" part.
Is there a way, server side, to tell FF to do so or is there only only client side solution ?
NB : In case that pdf can be open in FF, or any other browser, it should still be open in the browser and not be asking to "open/save", the point is only the empty tab.

Is it possible you were using the Tab Mix Plus extension on your Windows system? Tab Mix Plus has a feature to force bookmarks into a new tab automatically when you left-click instead of the default behavior of opening in the same tab.

Double Clicking on a PDF document, will not open

When double clicking on a PDF document with the default document properties set to Acrobat Professional 8, the document will not launch Acrobat.
If Acrobat is already opened however it will launch.
I've tried:
re-setting file associations
deleting preferences
Uninstalling and reloading Acrobat: (solves the issue for a time but after a period of use it reverts to this broken state).
OS X 10.5.5 is fully updated, as is Acrobat 8.

Another Utility that will do the same without aid of DVD.
is a Utility called
AppleJack version 1.5 works with OSX.5.x and version 1.4.3 work with all previous systems.
download install the go into Single User mode (restart Command-S) wait for screen to come up will be in B&W as soon as it starts up release until you see a Blinking Block Cursor. type applejack as instructed on screen. follow the commands as shown in Order.
I amazing what problems it can clear up. Font Caches are removed and others. If you follow all the way to the end. Its amazing how much your machine will speed up up not having to wade through obsolete Cruft. Note if you do everything to the end. will take you computer a few minutes to rebuild caches, and other items.

How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I have problem when opening a pdf page, my mouse control is hijacked to that tab when im on other tab, i cant scroll or use the middle rollling button, i have to click at the pdf tab then my control over the mouse middle button is restored.

I think I have this problem even on earlier version. The thing is I set open link in new tab and not switch over to the opened tab. My habit is to open a pdf page in the background and let it load first. What happen is that when the pdf page finished loading ( i do not set to download it), it hijacks my middle mouse button control. When i scroll down or scroll up on my original tab, it wont scroll on the tab, but insttead it scrolls on the pdf tab. I have to click on the pdf tab, then i can use the scrolling function on other tabs back. As for when i opened several pdf tabs, it seems i have to click on the tab that just finished loading, that means several times until they all finish loading. It has been getting on my nerve lately. And all pdf trouble i search from google led to unable to open pdf, firefox hang or crash when opening a pdf and the likes.

core-el, i don't see the advantage of that or i can't figure out how i'm supposed to use it. for starters, i have to click the mouse in order to get "add bookmark here" to open, which is no different than clicking on the star in the location bar, or right-clicking on the page. there are also options in the bookmarks toolbar, but they all require clicking the mouse & holding down the right button, etc.
my goal is to use keystrokes only. typing on the keyboard, using both hands, using the space bar & my left pinky finger to tab over are all painless routines for me. as soon as i have to take my fingers off the keyboard & use the mouse, the pain begins.
as i said, in older versions of firefox, all i had to do to bookmark a page was click ctrl>d, then tab over & arrow down, when appropriate, to find the folder & add the bookmark. for me, as a touch-typist whose speed is between 60 & 80 wpm, this is lightning fast.
if i have this wrong, please correct me. i just see it as more mouse clicks that don't save me time or pain.

Button on Click, loads a pdf in new window

Hello, I am trying find the correct as3 code to make a button on Click, open a pdf in a new window. I have tried different ways, but when I add the code not only does it give me errors, but it makes my swf flip through all the pages instead of stopping on load. It is fine before I enter the code for this button.
Just to let you know, this button is within a movie clip on the main stage. I really wanted it in a MC within another MC, but can't figure out where to put the code.
Should it go on the main timeline, where all the rest of the code is, or should it go within the MC?
Please help! Very frustrated with AS3.
Thanks!

This is all my code. At this point my MC moves through all my content pages. Before I entered the last code (last 3 lines) it worked fine. I'm sure I am missing something simple. With the last piece of code it also gave me the error "1120:access of undefined property TNT_pricelist09. I would imagine because I have to add the folder name to the file name?
Thanks for your help!
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homePage);
pricing_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pricingPage);
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutPage);
contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, contactPage);
