Downloaded PDF file is not readable

For more than a site, I downloaded PDF files and saved on my computer. I am running the latest version of Firefox under Win 7 32 bit. When I go to open the file with the latest version of Adobe Reader 9 or Foxit, I get an error message indicating that the file is not in a recognized format or is corrupted. (Although the content of the messages are different, it is the substance). Download the same file in IE produces files that can be read by a PDF reader.

I don't mean to play the file in Firefox, just download it, then open it. None of the threads that I've explored seems to solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated as I really don't want to use IE anymore.

Thank you!!

A quick update on my problem. After I posted this question, I remembered seeing a post somewhere that mentioned a performance bug that occurs when the downloaded file is being saved to a folder on a network computer, not the computer that's been downloaded. That's what I do. So, to test it, I changed the location where FireFox stores files downloaded from the network location mapped to a folder on the computer that I use to do the download. Guess what? The downloaded files are OK and not considered "corrupt". I can't find the post that said that there is a problem with FF transfer the file to the computer on the network without giving full NTFS file properties, but this seems to be the issue. So, I guess I just solved my problem. Go figure.

  • Downloaded pdf files does not open in firefox

    I have this irritating problem. I need to open pdf files that are already uploaded and stored on my hard drive, so it would be easier to translate their and ect. Either I'm doing wrong, but when I try to do, I always get a regular save/open quickly.

    I tried to paste the url of domain Firefox url (file:///C:/Users/Kaunaus/Desktop/Bakalaurinis/EPFL_TH5664.pdf);
    And on the right, click on PDF-> open with-> Firefox.

    Same command prompt. If I choose to open, it opens with Adobe Reader (not in the Firefox tab), check-in - saves a copy to a specific location.

    All solutions?

    Hello freedomas, you can try the following?

    go in firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open upwards - in there remove the file named mimetypes.rdf (which stores the actions to handle different types of files) - it will be regenerated the next time you launch the browser.

  • Cannot download pdf files

    I find that I cannot download PDF files even with my security program off

    Thanks for your help, I solved the problem by disabling "do not save encrypted on disk pages" in the advanced options of the internet

  • PDF files does not open in Internet Explorer 9 after updating adobe 10.1.3

    I reinstalled Adobe 10.1.3 several times and I can't view, open, or save .pdf files.  I tried to use Safari and can I view and save .pdf files, but I use int Explorer. 100% of the time.  What is the solution?

    I'm in trouble here myself. I have Vista Home Edition 64-bit. The world was good until I welcomed this update to proceed. I can't go back to the old version (work) of Adobe because one of the suggestions was uninstall I did.

    I checked to make sure I was using 32-bit browser mode and no 64

    Adobe installed/Reinstalled/repaired [this facility has been a nightmare taking over several hours of troubleshooting]

    I changed the settings in Adobe as above and everything rebooted

    I can open PDF files on my hard drive.

    I can open the PDF files on the http sites

    I can't open or download PDF files on https sites more (even if I could before the upgrade)

    Of course, THE ones that I really really need since I'm paperless with the Bank, verizon, etc etc... I tried today will still sites on my IE8, XP computer work with Adobe Reader 9 and viola! no problems. They work as expected

    I chose NOT to run Chrome as it gave me problems before. I only use an IE9 browser and it is the Version 9.0.8112.16421 updated version 9.0.7 and my update of windows displays only associated them optionally available updates, which is that I have installed silverlight.

    Please advise!

    EDITING - I did a test of browser on Wells Fargo, and he said that I was on IE7. I went to uncontrolled compatibility settings the race all that (I don't think I have that turn), but it still says I'm on IE8 although I'm on IE9 and IE9 says - somehow I think that it is perhaps part of the problem. FWIW, I've had now problem downloading their PDF of 'test', but it was on the part not secure their site.

    LAST MODIFIED - don't know why this has not happened before, but maybe it was an update to IE9 - if you go to tools > Internet Options > advanced and scroll down to the bottom, there is a check box for "do not save encrypted disk files", what thought Microsoft had to be checked. However, if the file is encyrpted and the block is turned on you can see it or download it. Has worked like a charm when this block is not checked. So nothing to do with Adobe, everything to do with IE9.

  • How can I call Save as dialog box before you download pdf files?

    How can I call Save as dialog box before you download pdf files?

    Here's my favorite scenario:

    1. the user clicks on the button

    2 Save as dialog box displays

    3. the user chooses the place

    4. a set of PDF files download here OR download a single zip file

    Background:

    I want to ensure that the user sees that the files are downloaded. I'm content to users who are not Web warned.

    Concern:

    1. the user has no idea how to find the downloaded files or files have even downloaded.

    2. I would like to deliver all in the form of zip files. Not sure if the automatic opening of zip files still exist.

    FOR INFO:

    I use jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors in the response.

    Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click on a button.

    Click on a button or click on a link, either way you are technically running a script to force a download.

    I guess that's the PHP on the server.

    Yes but it is only a part of it.  Once the form runs, another script is called that opens the browser download dialog.

    Y at - it a php script to call the open/save dialog box?

    Yes.

    
    

    Name this file zip2download.php.

    Add a link to your HTML page:

    zip2download.php">Download the Zip

    Hello

    Have you used the installation disk supplied with the printer to install on this computer? Try revived the installation disc, and then click on the option that says INSTALL more SOFTWARE. Then, if there is an OCR software to install it.

    My new Office Jet 8500 (A910-G) seems to correctly perform a scan to PDF, but the PDF file does not open, gives me the error message "the selected document cannot be opened" in PDF Complete.

    I agree that it's a software because it works well with Adobe Acrobat.  It's just PDF Complete (which was free with my HP computer) does not work!

    Hello

    Please tell the Reader/Acrobat version you use.

    Also say work on the operating system.

    You can try the next step and see if that helps.

    Launch Reader/Acrobat > Navigate to Edit > preferences > Page Display > rendering > smooth text choose to monitor and click OK.

    See if that helps.

    I found the solution:

    In the PDF file, click View > Navigation panel > Pages

    I had to reset panels to view the Pages again.

    After seeing a few screenshots of the file I think I see what's happening now. There is a watermark diagonal URL through the page that is converted to a link automatically by the application. Disable it go to Edition - Preferences - general and uncheck the box that says "create links from URLS".

  • PDF files do not run video created with Captivate

    I create videos eLeaning with Adobe Captivate and the resulting video is generated in a PDF and HTM file. For some such e-Learning, the PDF file does not work. the window opens and the bar for OCD and a small window black where the video to load, display. It's as if the video is loading but nothing happens.

    I am using windows 7 OS. Captivate isn't a problem because the HTM files generate properly. Adobe Reader is also not a problem because some of the videos load perfectly. There are only a few videos that give a problem. No idea what could be wrong. If you would be grateful if anyone has an advisor.

    You can send it to my email address. And remember to send me your details.

    Kind regards
