Why do PDF files on a URL not load in Firefox (and are black in Safari)

Trying to open PDF information sheets from a UK govt. site, Firefox would not open anything; if it helps, Safari's window just went black, but Google and Camino both opened the files with no problems.
How do I get Firefox to work as well?just recentlu

I have had this problem in Firefox version 3. I updated to Firefox 4 and again I received a message that Adobe Acrobat could not be opened witthis browser.
Howver, I went to "Opening PDF files in Firefox" in Firefox support.
I followed the instructions under "Check Firefox settings". Iset the Action for Adobe
Acrobat Document to "Use Adobe Reader 9.4 (default)" and IT WORKED.

Question on PDF files with linked images (not embedded) between Reader and Illustrator

I run into situations when I get customer PDFs that need to be edited. When they load in Acrobat Reader it works fine. However if I load it into Illustrator it asks me to point it to the linked file. The question is how does Acrobat Reader open a PDF file and show a linked file when it is not embedded? Why can't Illustrator do the same thing?
This is more of a technical question, but any information would be helpful. Thanks.

For linked images, your PDF file contains a thumbnail image along with the reference or address of the actual image. Reader will display this thumbnail. Now, wanting to edit the PDF in Illustrator, it wants to enable you working on the actual image. Hence it asks you to point to the linked file.

My Jot forms are not being read in Firefox and I am getting an error message in all cases on my websites. They work fine in Safari, etc. on my MAC. And please don't ask me about versions. Your Firefox is the problem as usual. PLEASE FIX ASAP. IT IS URGENT.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Disney Jr coloring pages will not load using Firefox on my iMac, using Safari the pages will load.

I have a Apple iMac desktop computer that is about a year old, when using Firefox to access the Disney Jr. website the only problem I have is the pages that need to be printed to color will not load, the rest of the site works as it should. When I use Safari to access the same website there are no problems, I prefer to use Firefox as my browser of choice.

I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

Why will Kerberos enabled SSRS instances will not load in Firefox

We have 10 SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 SP1) instances. 6 are using Kerberos while the others are using NTLM. Firefox will load Report Manager under NTLM, but not with Kerberos. Until last week Firefox would load both, but a recent security update from FF caused the conflict. If I change an instance using Kerberos to NTLM, FF will load Report Manager. Once I revert back, I see either a blank page or an error:
XML Parsing Error: no elemet found
Location: http://<domain name>/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Line Number 1, Column 1:
This started impacting all users of Firefox last week with our company. We had no issues loading RS under Kerberos before this, and we would like to know how to resolve the conflict. Please advise.

The pictures load OK for me, with twitpic on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

Why do certain functions of "click on" not work with Firefox and Ebay and my mailboxes?

When going to my mail (especially Yahoo mail) I cannot click on the boxes that allow me to delete or whatever. In addition, I can't hardly use Firefox at all with Ebay and other sites because of a similar problem. For instance, the cursor won't even change to a 'hand' on "Sign In" on Ebay nor will it allow me to change the page number if I have multiple items for sale or buying. I've had to switch all of my bill paying sites to IE for this same reason. Got any ideas? I'm currently using Firefox 17.0.1.

HTML Page with Flash Video will not load in Firefox and Chrome

When going to the page http://www.airsept.com/linespliceanimation.html in Firefox (latest version) I am prompted to either open or save the file as if I clicked a link to download a file. Going to this web page in Google Chrome displays the code.
What the crap is going on? I can't figure it out. It works as it should in IE 7.

It looks like you fixed it. You should close it now so so it won't be listed as open.

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File Save.

I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and I was using Adobe Reader version 9. In the past, I've always been able to print to file using the File -> Print dialogue but all of a sudden it stopped working. I read somewhere that installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (version 11) would remove the old printer, so I did so. It took me about an hour on version 11 to even find the pdf print to file option, but I am getting the same message. For what it's worth, when I try print to file from Microsoft Word, I have no problem. I have no idea why things changed all of a sudden, but does anyone have any idea how I can get this working again?

I checked with Adobe. No luck.
Allow me to clarify my problem:
I have Adobe Reader XI. I also use a Mac--imac and a MacBook Pro. My adobe was updated on 12/24. Prior to that point, I could open my print dialogue box and there was a PDF tab on the bottom left. In the drop down menu there were many choices, including but not limited to Open in PDF Preview, Print PDF, Save PDF, email PDF. If I selected one page of 30 pages from a document saved in Adobe, I could extract just that one page and save it or email it, without having to send the entire document. After the update, when I open a PDF file using ADOBE READER XI, and then open the print dialogue box, and follow those same steps, I get the message "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save." My question is why is this feature now unavailable and is there a way to fix it?
The answer I got from Adobe was that Adobe never had this function, so it must have been via my print or preview programs..which are apple. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thank you.

Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported.

Hi Guys,
I upgrade from leopard to snow and now I don't have the possibility anymore to to print PDF as a PDF.
Before I was going to print and then choose save as a pdf and everything ok.
Now after the upgrade to snow every time that I am going to print a pdf from a pdf (acrobat 9 and X) I received this msg "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save "
Why that happened ? how can I fix it?
The thing is that I have a pdf form (contract) that I have to fill up and print it as a pdf.
Now I can't do that I can save only the form with the fields unlock.
thanks you in advance for your help.

Ah.. this is so annoying filled in a long form.. which doesn't allow saving.. I assumed as normal with this type of form I could print to PDF and at least get a electronic copy.. but no, I made the mistake of installing Adobe Reader.. and it has screwed up the print options.. when I try to save as PDF from the print menu I get the helpful suggestion
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
When I do as suggested.. it helpfully tells me that it will only save a "blank form"..
Adobe has badly messed up their reader.. I now need to print out and then scan this document to get the electronic copy I need.. I will be uninstalling promptly after this fiasco..

Place the Adobe Form as PDF file in a URL

Hi Experts,
I have created an Adobe form and got the PDF data in the form of XSTRING now I need to place this as PDF file in the URL which I have generated programmatically. Not sure on how to do it. Any function modules or classes to place this as PDF file at a URL will be really helpful for me.
Tried with HTTP* function modules and seems they are not working.
Thanks for you help.

Hi Sai,
Thanks for ur input.
My requirement is not exactly the string with XML data, but the string with PDF data.
I will try to explain my requirement here in detail.
I have the adobe form triggering from the webdynpro. This form has different objects like, text fields, dropdowns, check boxes, radio buttons...etc and one SUBMIT button for which webservice is attached in the properties.
User will fill all the fields and clicks on SUBMIT. When he clicks on the SUBMIT, the webservice should attach the filled PDF document at partner level.
For this purpose, i need the string with PDF data and not the XML.
WIth this PDF string again i should be able to re generate the PDF document which was filled by the user.
If string with PDF data is not possible, Please suggest me the possible way of achieving this?
Regards,
Ram.

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
Given:
1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
I love this forum...thank you again!

Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
