With browser integration is a pdf downloaded by Acrobat or the browser?

Hi all,
A colleague and I are having a disagreement in regards to how a pdf file is downloaded. We have been experiencing intermittent networking issues and we both recognize that this is a problem. When attempting to download a pdf from the internet intermitently we receive the "A network error has occured..." message.
My colleague has installed Acrobat X (from 9.4) and has noticed that this has improved his ability to download pdf documents. He is speculating that the add-on acts as a download manager and has better timeout settings and thus installing a newer version is the fix.
My belief is that the browser does the download and allows the add-on to then open the file as it is downloaded. I believe that the fact that it has worked better for him is only a coincidence. I do believe that upgrading is a great idea but I do not believe that is assertion is correct and that no matter which version is present the issue is purely network related. I would accept that a possible browser change/tweak could improve the performance.
Because the issue is intermittent I believe that my colleague has just got it working by coicidence. I did install Acrobat X and still had the issue 1 of the 4 times I attmepted a download. As my colleague did not have it in 4 sperate attempts he was sure it had worked. I am aware that there are a lot of other factors that can come in to play browser version, other installed add-ons etc, but my question in it's purest form is does Adobe acrobat manage the download of the pdf file when the it is integrated with the browser?
Please assist in putting our argument aside in time for Friday drinks

Hi Pat,
Thanks for your reply.
Purely downloading, e.g. right-click on an online link, then select Save Target As, will not invoke any Adobe software.  That is handled by the browser only, as with any other file type.
Very aware of the above. This was not what my question was in relation to.
What OS / browser is involved here?
I dont believe OS is related to my question at all. In terms of browser we have used multiple browsers (IE 7, IE 8, Firefox 7, Firefox 14) but this also I believe has minimumal bearing to my question as it purely relates to the Adobe Acrobat Add-on and the programming behind the scenes. Whether it handles the download when integrate or not.
Thanks.

    How do I replace numbers with text in tax return pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro? The tax return was created using CCH software. Thanks for your review.

    Thanks Bill for your quick reply. CCH software is one of the major
    suppliers of tax return software. I found an internal source that helped me
    make the changes from numbers to text i.e. "$123,456" to "See Schedule O".
    I am not sure if I am working in form or final text. Thanks again! Kelly

  • Problems downloading/installing Acrobat from the app manager

    I am getting the following message when attempting to download Acrobat. I do not know why it's no longer installed on my computer, nor why this message pops up:
    Adobe Genuine Software Validation Failure. The product you are trying to install is not an Adobe Genuine Software and appears to be counterfeit.
    How can this be? I am attempting to install software directly through Adobe- how can it be counterfeit. Any suggested solutions welcome.

  • Issue with PDF download

    Hi Guys,
    I am facing problem with the PDF download option. In the answers request I have to use Pivot tables to display data and since these pivot tables do not provide the option of Table Headings, I resorted to HTML to get a similar output. The issue I am facing right now is when I print it through PDF or Powerpoint, the HTML code I have written comes up instead of the result. In the case of excel or answers, I am getting the proper output. Is there some setting I am missing?? I am using the column with the HTML coding in the Columns section of the pivot table.
    Thnx!

    Hi,
    This is a known issue with HTML code embedded in your request, when you try to download the same in PDF, PowerPoint it will show the code.
    You can the following bugs regarding this in metalink.

  • Creating a link to make a pdf download

    Can anyone tell me how to make a link so that a pdf file will download? I currently have a button with a link to a pdf. I can get the pdf to open in a new window, but I really just want it to download automatically to the viewers' desktop, or at least to give them that option.

    you cannot control what happens with a pdf file - this is determined by the viewers browser preferences.
    The only way to guarantee the file is downloaded is to .zip it
    As it happens, in my experience, most peoples browser preferences are set to download pdf files anyway

  • My add-on's aren't working since upgrading...are their pdf download and screengrab updates available anywhere?

    My 'pdf download' by Nitro and the Screengrab! 0.96.3 is incompatible with FireFox 7.0.1.
    Are there other add-on's that will perform these functions that are compatible with the updated version of FF, or will I need to uninstall the latest FF update in order to continue using these features?
    Also, Java Console is now disabled and nothing compatible for it either, updates are unavailable....etc.

    1.) Locate "C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/etc/hosts". Copy the "hosts" file onto your desktop as a backup if any errors may occur during the process.
    2.) As an administrator, open the "hosts" file inside "etc" folder with Notepad and erase the last lines related to gs-apple that looks like this:
    "#127.0.0.1 gs·apple·com"
    3.) Restart iTunes if opened and connect your device after it is in DFU mode.
    4.) Casually do a restore like normal, and you're done.
    5.) After restore is completed, replace the "hosts" file inside the "etc" folder with the backup you've copied onto your Desktop to prevent possible future errors. Hope this works!

  • Drilldown report with Office Integration

    Hi everyone,
    can anyone help me to understand how to display a report with Office Integration (on monitor) so that you can see the header?
    Thanks,
    Jess.

    Office Integration is available with Report Painter reports.  The first thing that you need to do is make sure the "Expert Mode" is selected.  Once the report is executed select Settings > Options.  In this pop up box you will see the List Output section and the Office Integration section.  We have all the boxes in the List Output section checked. 
    You may also want to check your Text for Export.  When you're in transaction GRR2 (Change mode of the Report Painter report), follow this menu path:  Extras > Report Text > Text for Export.  If you don't have anything here that is why your not getting any header information when you use Office Integration.  You can select Text > Copy from and copy the actual header information into the text for export.
    I hope this helps!
