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.

  • Can i buy an unlocked iphone 4 from the us apple website and use it in ireland?

    I want to buy a white iphone 4 but it is SO much cheaper to buy it off the apple US website than it is to buy it in Ireland. The difference is about $260 dollars(200 euro) I am just wondering if I buy it on the US website will I be able to use my iphone in Ireland as if i'd bought it here? I can get a micro-sim from my network as they are a GSM carrier. I'm just wondering will it definitely work for me in Ireland?

    If it's GSM then yes..

  • Can I save a Flash 9 video from a TV news website?

    Is this possible? Don't see any options for saving to disc when I ctrl click on the video. My apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Thanks for your help.

    Flash runs in the browser and there is no click to save feature however it is quite simple a couple of ways. In Safari you can often find the file (FLV file usually) in the activity window and click to download it. However that often fails to work. In Firefox you can get a number of addins/extensions such as DownloadHelper, unPlug and others that basically do it for you.

    Using the map locator feature on the usgs website my iPad won't download PDF maps. Any assistance would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Could you provide a link? It will take a while for us to trawl around the whole site trying to guess which particular page you are referring to...

  • Federal court website gives a .pl document which opens as garbage until we manually change it to .pdf, is there any way to get Firefox to do this automatically?

    I am using a Mac. When downloading a document from the federal court website using Firefox, we get a .pl document which opens as garbage (in TextEdit) until we manually change it to .pdf, which causes it to open just fine (in Preview). It used to work fine, giving a .pdf document every time, but apparently upgrades to Firefox have removed this functionality. As far as I can tell my computer, an iMac running Mac system OS X 10.10.1, does not recognize the .pl format. Is there any way to get Firefox to automatically convert a downloaded file from .pl format to .pdf format? My friend tells me that Google Chrome downloads these documents with no problem. I would prefer to stick with Firefox but I might have to change if every downloaded document is in an unreadable format.
    This is a typical example of what I get when I try to open a .pl document (the pdf version is a one page document using plain English):
    =====
    %PDF-1.5
    %‚„œ”

    HI jlawrence1,
    Is it possible to associated the pl file mimetype with an application? [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]

  • 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.

  • How can i save a large pdf document in two parts

    how can i save a large pdf document in two parts

    i cannot figure this out, either. and i am also not able to set a custom page size to tile (in this case, tabloid/landscape). the dialog box defaults to my ppd for my epson printer (max size = letter) even when i select the drop down for "printing" to a post script file. I've been using illustrator since it's first release and i'm really surprised that this is rudimentary step in finalizing docs for release has been complicated.

  • Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from

    Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from. Error "cannot save the document is read-only or is open by someone else" and then it prompts to save the document to another folder or change the name of the document.  This is not what I want to do! Using WIndows 7

    Hi JC_AUS,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. This can happen if the preview of the document is opened in preview pane in Windows Explorer.
    Kindly switch off the preview pane and then try the same.
    Thanks,

  • Why can I no longer print shipping labes from some sites that used to print?

    For several years I was able to print postage paid labels for ETSY and BOOKSWAP from Firefox. I could also print customs forms with shipping from Ebay to countries including Russia and Italy.
    Now they will not print - but I get charged for them.
    Is there a remedy? If so, what is it? I can't keep losing $ on shipping fees. Thanks.
    Carolyn (cshort0319)

    Hi Carolyn, I am not personally familiar with how those sites work. Are the labels generated as PDFs? Often if there is a 2D-barcode, PDF is the preferred format.
    What you might try is switching your PDF viewer from the built-in viewer to the Adobe Acrobat viewer or you could open it externally in Adobe Reader if you prefer. These articles describe how to change that setting:
    * [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]
    * [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]]
    I noticed that your Adobe Acrobat plugin is a very old version. For security reasons, as well as improved compatibility with newer PDF formats, you should strongly consider updating to Adobe Reader XI (11). You can download that here:
