  • Firefox tries to save PDF files instead of opening

    When I click on PDF links Firefox tries to save them instead of opening them. This is so even though in "Options" under "Applications" I have all Adobe files set to "Use Adobe Reader".

    You get the "Open/Save/Cancel" dialog, same as if you selected "Always Ask"?
    When Firefox no longer responds to changes in the Application preferences, you sometimes need to reset those preferences, which involves deleting a settings file. This article has the steps for that under the heading "Reset download actions for all file types":

  • How do I get my computer to start opening up files instead of opening a pop up window rather than the file?

    My computer has started opening up pop up windows that say, "Step 1: Select File, Information Gathered Successfully, Step 2: Click Show Information Button", instead of opening the file I click on. This informaion windown has generated another pop up window that suggests I visit the iTunes store for an app that will open the file. Twice I have purchased apps that the iTunes store said would open the file. Twice the apps have made no difference at all. The apps did not open the file. Even more frustrating than being sold apps that don't work is that the files I'm trying to open are textedit files created with the software on the very computer that is now refusing to open them.
    How do I get beyond the pop-ups and open the files I created?
    Is it possible to return the apps that iTunes said would work, but did not?

    Please post a screenshot that shows what you mean. Be careful not to include any private information.

  • Failed to save the PDF file into the open location as default

    Hi all,
    Please help me!
    In Acrobat XI professional, while save the PDF file using the SAVEAS option it shows the previous file saved location path.
    But i need the current opened location path while save the PDF file.
    Please help me to solve the issue.
    Regards,

    What an awesome idea, Bernd...
    I've just encountered the same situation and it's irritating the hell outta me. Adobe's always gotta screw something up to irritate us. As if having the rent their software isn't irritation enough.
    The problem is when you open a file and then Save As it has always, and in every program known to man (at least that I've used), offered to Save As in the same folder where the file was opened from. Now it wants to save it in the last "saved to" directory.
    While this could be convenient on occasion it's a PitA most of the time.
    Any actual solution to this misbehaving Save dialog?

  • For some reason today my Firefox stopped saving picture downloads as file names and identifies them all as URL. I don't know why it did this. It happened once before. How can I get it reset so I can save pictures as files instead of links?

    I rebooted twice and it continued to do this. Just before this happened, I had walked away from the computer for a couple of hours. When I came back, every time I tried to open Firefox it told me that it was already open but would not open. It opened after I rebooted but still would not save to folders as a file name, only as a URL link.

    Hey Gina,
    Change all your passwords, this will stop the remote access if there are any. Also check to make sure there are no third party apps managing your passwords. Also please contact the tech support for the phone for more technical help on that issue :-)
    I also understand that the customization is not staying. [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
    Did this happen when you synced last? Also are there more than one device with different Customized ui settings?
    Change the settings back from open "pages from last time" to the other homepage: [[How to set the home page]] or if this happened after you attached another device to the sync account, uncheck Preferences from the sync settings.

  • Cannot save webpage (.html file) because get error sayting that a " .js" file could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Any ideas where my problem is? Thx.

    Every time I attempt to save a webpage (.html format) I get a message indicating that some .js-type file was not saved because the source file could not be read.
    I did some "cleanup" of add-ons because there were so many. Is it possible I deactivated one that I need to read .js files, or could/would it be something else?
    Thanks.

    Please help.
    It is getting worse
    Adobe flash player is crashing. I already uninstalled and re installed the latest ver. Also it is hanging randomly.

  • How do I save them as files to re-open?

    I have like 3 websites being built in my sites list on the left, but I want to close one I finished, do I have to leave it in the list to keep it saved or can I save it as an actual iWeb file somehow as well as exporting it?
    Also...if I have 3 websites on the go and I just want to export ONE...how do I do that? every time I click export to folder it does all 3 I have open.
    Thanks

    You need separate your domain.sites file.
    You can do this by hand by following the directions on Apnewbie's Site Separation help page.
    Or you can use the free program iWebsites.
    There is also a new program called Multisite.
    I separated mine by hand. Lots of folks here use iWebsites and are very happy with it. I've not heard as much about Multisite.
    Note that your domain file is the only link to an editable version of your site. The files that are published to .mac or to a folder are not a backup. iWeb cannot reimport published files. So back up your domain files on a regular basis.

  • How can I force the browser to prompt user to open or save a pdf document instead of opening it in the browser window?

     

    Change the MIME type for pdf from application/pdf to something else, such as application/octet-stream.
    You can change MIME types through the administration server or by editing the mime.types configuration file. The Administrator's Guide at http://docs.iplanet.com has more information.

  • Make ie7 save pdf link instead of open (acrobat8)

    hi, when you click a pdf link in ie7 there seems to be only 2 options: either open the pdf in browser window or open pdf in acrobat.
    how can you make the ie7 ask to save the pdf file instead of automatically opening it?

    That would be a feature of the browser or the HTML code used. I am not sure how to set that, or if it can be set. Acrobat will open if requested, but you are asking the browser to save rather than to open. Thus for what you want Acrobat or the plugin would not even be called.
    If you are looking for it in your own browser, the look for browser options. If you are trying to do it with HTML for other users, then you need to consult an HTML manual. You might be able to set a button to save with some JAVAscript. Keep in mind that if that is what you are looking for, most folks like to be asked before you start saving to their machine.

  • How to save as .ai file to .eps format ??

    Hi all,
    Could anyone help me out on the below problem.
    I need to write a script which will save a .ai file to .eps file format and store in  to a fixed location. (Ex \\10.99.0.60\epsfile\)..
    This action should happen on executing the script.
            Here we don’t need to enter the file name .It will be saved to the same file name. We just have to change the extension of the file and store it to a fixed location.        Ex: when the current file name is ‘test.ai’ the output file name will be ‘test.eps’
    Please help me on the abhove issue.
    thanks and Regards,

    Try this. Cut and paste into the AppleScript Script Editor Application. Save as whatever name in HD>Applications>Adobe Illustrator CS4>Presets>Scripts folder and restart.
    This will open all files of the fileTypes in a folder and resave them as AICS4 files with compression and PDF compatibility. It will do a folder only not a Directory. You'll have to put in your own error handling for bad fonts. It makes all files CMYK and updates legacy text.
    -- BEGIN CODE
    set fileTypes to {"EPSF", "PDF ", "ART5", "TEXT"} -- file types available to resave as Illustrator
    -- get a sourceFolder that holds the files to resave as AI
    set sourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder with files to resave as Illustrator:") as text
    -- get a list of files of the defined type in the sourceFolder
    tell application "Finder" to set workingFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is in fileTypes) as alias list
    -- now you have your fileList argument
    -- get a destinationFolder to hold the PDFs
    set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder to hold the Illustrator files:"
    SaveFilesAsIllustrator14(workingFiles, destinationFolder)
    on SaveFilesAsIllustrator14(fileList, destinationFolder)
        set destinationPath to destinationFolder as string
        repeat with aFile in fileList
            tell application "Finder"
                set fileName to displayed name of aFile -- get displayed name
                set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
                set newFileName to text item 1 of fileName
                set newFilePath to destinationPath & newFileName & ".ai"
            end tell
            tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
                open aFile forcing CMYK with options {update legacy text:true}
                save current document in file newFilePath as Illustrator with options {class:Illustrator save options, embed linked files:true, PDF compatible:true, font subset threshold:0.0}
                close current document saving no
            end tell
        end repeat
    end SaveFilesAsIllustrator14
    -- END CODE

  • How to log "send failed" to a file instead of showing a pop-up message

    Hi, I am working with Flex 4.1 on Linux but I suppose this problem must be common to all versions of Flex.
    I am working on a Flex client front-end which connects to a Java back-end (in Tomcat) via BlazeDS. All of this works OK 99.9% of the time. However, from time to time (let's say, if the client browser has been open for several hours), the user gets a pop-up message saying "Send failed". It seems to be a harmless transient error -- if the user closes the pop-up, the front-end carries on as usual and seems to continue to work as expected.
    Is there a way to have the "send failed" message written to a log file instead of opening a pop-up message?
    As a separate problem, if anyone has seen occasional, transient "send failed" errors, I would be interested to hear about that. If you have some solution to make them go away, that would be terrific.
    Thanks for your time, I appreciate your help.

    Firefox since 20.0 has had the current download history way it is now. It was possible to enable the old manager up until Firefox 26.0 was released.
    One way to have Downloads in a tab is to use '''about:downloads''' in a tab which can be found in the about: urls list about:about

  • How to save an excel file as CSV with semi-colon as data separator?

    We are creating a flat data file to load the flat file data to our BW system with Excel.  When we save the file, there are three kinds of CSV types for selecting from the "Save as type" list box:
    CSV (Comma delimited)
    CSV (Macintosh)
    CSV (MS-DOS)
    There is no CSV (semi colon delimited) type.  If we pick CSV (Comma delimted) as the type, then when clicking the "Preview ..." picture icon under the "DataSource/Trans. Structure" tab of the InfoSource for this flat file (with the CSV radio button checked the Data separator default is ";"), the File Upload Preview window shows the data is messed up that some columns of the excel flat file are combined into one column.
    Since the save type we picked is "CSV (Comma delimited)", then we try to change the default Data separator from ";" to "," in the preview selection screen, but still not helpful!
    How to resolve the above problem?
    Thanks

    Hi Kevin,
    This "," is defined in your windows setting. If you want to have ";" as separator then go to control Panel, select Regional Options, go to Numbers Tab and define the List separator as ";". After that when you will save your excel file as CSV(MS-DOS) it will have ";" as separator. This will make sure that the amounts are not broken in to two different fields while loading.
    Else if you keep "," as separator then you can also go into the Excel and define all number fields as Number without thousand separator.
    Let me know if you have any doubts in this.
    Regards,
    Rohit

  • Previously saved files refuse to open

    Recently I have had 3 saved Pages files refuse to open because "the document does not have a valid format". Anyone else come across this and is there anything I can do to retrieve them?

    This kind of thing is reported here quite often.
    I wrote here many times that computers aren't perfect tools and that they may fail.
    With pre-Lion systems, it's our duty to take care of our works.
    Never save upon the file which we opened.
    This is why I wrote an AutoSave script which save archived versions of works in progress every ten minutes.
    With Lion, the system AutoSave by itself on the opened file. By default, Versions keep consecutive versions every hour which, from my point of view, isn't sufficient.
    But, it would be a good idea to check if you have iWork '09 and iWork '08 installed on your machine.
    Maybe, it's Pages '08 which try to open your files.

  • I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but it will not allow me to save it a second time as an excel file.  It says that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another

    I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file.  I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application.

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1
