Why won't PDF files print from the internet on my MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro using OS X 10.7.4. I open pdf files at websites but when I try and print them there is no content in the document. The same document on my PC prints without problem. What's the issue?

if your not using adobe, and the native mac application, try a save as then try printing

Why won't pdf files print from Safari?

why won't pdf files print from Safari? I get blank pages. They print fine from Firefox. OS X 10.8.4

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Acrobat Reader can't open PDF file downloaded from the internet

I downloaded the following pdf file from the internet and saved it to the desktop. When I tried to open the file I got a message saying Acrobat couldn't open it. I do not have trouble opening other PDF files. There is something about opening certain PDF files from the internet that is causing this. Is there a setting in the PDF preferences that is causing this or some security setting.

It seems that Safari is unable to export the document as a PDF because the exported file was zero bytes. That's why I couldn't open it. I tried Firefox and did a File>Save. It saved the file as a PDF which I was able to open. So proglem solved.

Downloading from the internet to my macbook pro

HI I could use some help please. everytime I download something from the internet and I chose to save it, it doesn't give me the option to save it to my desktop or a folder it just automatically download it to the download folder. I have another macbook pro same exact specs and it allows me to make a choice to where I want to save the item. Anyone know where I can change this setting and how to do it. I am computer illiterate so I do know how to navigate around a computer I just can't seem to see where the settings are different between the two computers. Thanks for any help anyone can give!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I assume you're using Safari - so open Safari/Preferences/General and under 'Save downloaded files to' set the location you prefer.
Another option is to control/click on a download link and you'll then get a pop-up menu where you can select 'Download linked file as' and chose the destination.

Why can't I print out PDF files downloaded from the internet?

Such as medical files, applications, etc. They just end up as an "error" in my printer queue. I have used four different printers and three differnt iMac computers. Same problem. What is UP? Do I have to convert it? Becxause, when I do -- and it so graciously "allows" me to -- it reformats and looks like a transmission from the nearest five year old. Thoughts?

Assuming that you're talking about printing from Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone, you either (1) need an AirPrint-enabled printer, or (2) (for the iPad only), purchase a third party app like Printer Pro from Readdle.
Here's a list of AirPrint-enabled printers:

If you're talking about printing from Reader on your laptop or desktop computer, you're in the wrong forum.

Why won't pdf files open from flash drive?

Some files I have on a flash drive will not open. Some error messages say file is damaged and cannot be repaired or cannot read (109) or internal error.

Damn. What about files that say "internal error"? Those files I have can open up, but some of the pictures and pages and text is missing on those files.

Is there a way to save an image from the Internet on my MacBook Pro v10.6?

I am creating a poster on a website and want to upload some images of stars onto the poster. They can just be graphics. Can this be done?
How? Thanks!

Yes. Use Google to search for the type of stars you want to use for your poster. Download them to your desktop & follow the instructions on the poster website on how to upload to your poster.

Why won't .MOV files export from Lightroom?

Why won't .MOV files export from Lightroom?

The will.
Or at least they can, and do, sometimes, if you have good MOV karma..
Why not supply a little more info, like:
* Which OS
* Which version of Lightroom
* History of MOV files.
* Export format.
* Do other video types export OK
* How many different MOV files have you tried - all with the same history?
and of course:
* What, exactly, happens, when you try?

Hp officejet j4580 all-in-one won't print from the internet.

Hi,
Here are a couple of things to try. I would first start with downloading and running the Print Diagnostic Utility. IF this doesn't clear it up, then try the document on Problems printing from the internet.

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

Hi @jillehorn,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Deskjet 1510 will not print from the internet. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help you with your printing concerns!
For further assistance, I will need some additional information:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make a test page. Video: Printing a Test Page - HP Deskjet 1510 All-in-One Printer
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If you can print from any other programs, such as NotePad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac).
In the meantime, please see this general printing guide, Print Jobs from Your HP Printer are Stuck in the Print Queue. (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help.)
Hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for posting!

Can't print from the internet but other stuff I can

I have had my printer for about 4 months now and everything has been fine until the other day when it stopped printing from the internet. Now that I think about it, it's about the same time I put new ink in. But I can print from Word and other stuff. I even pulled up the printer in Devices and Printers and did a test page and everything was fine. I have an HP Envy 4501 (Print Scan Copy Photo). I use Chrome for my internet and like I said, I've never had a problem in the past with it.
I downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it said everything was good. When I select to have my email printed, it opens it in a new window and then it does the print display for me and I have to select 'Print using system dialog...(Ctrl+Shift+P)' and then it opens the print window. It has my printer selected, I hit print and nothing happens. My printer icon appears down by my clock in the lower right hand corner of my computer and when I hover over it, it says '(1) document pending for Missy' but then nothing happens and a few seconds later it changes to '(0) document pending for Missy'. ????
What am I doing wrong?? Help please!!!

Hi MissyDub,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are having a problem printing from Google Chrome, where the print job is shown, but then leaves the queue. I would be happy to assist you with this issue!
It sounds as though the issue is isolated to Google Chrome. To restore the browser settings (and printing settings) for Chrome you can uninstall and reinstall the software. If you are using a Mac, you can follow this document. If you are using a Windows computer, you can follow this document.
If that is still giving you trouble, you can also (contact Chrome Support) to find out if further assistance is necessary with their program.
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums, and I will look forward to your reply!

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.
