Firefox attempts to save a PDF file instead of opening

When I click on PDF links Firefox tries to save instead of open them. It is so even if in 'Options' under 'Applications', I have all files of Adobe set to 'Use Adobe Reader'.

You get the "Open/save/Cancel" dialog box, as if you always selected "ask"?

When Firefox unresponsive to changes in the Application preferences, you may reset these preferences, which involves removing a settings file. This article has the steps to do this the heading "Reset download actions for all types of files:

  • HP 8610 saves the pdf files instead of allow to print

    Hello

    I have printer HP 8610 running on a desktop computer with Windows 7. I just bought and installed the printer. It seems to work irradically since I was able to print a number of things. When I open a pdf document and click on the print icon in the menu it opens the print dialog box. Everything is set to print on the 8610 and when I click on the button print is opens another dialog box asking me of "save under". I tried to save the same document on my desktop and try this place, and the same thing happens.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    You will see the same while the other PDF files print then? for example, Word, Notepad, etc. ?

    Which PDF reader you use?

    Adobe Reader for example, click file > print, and then click the Advanced button.

    Check printing as files option is not checked and click OK.

    Now try to print again and check for the difference.

    Please let me know the results when printing from another program, also well don't forget to specify your PDF reader if the problem persists.

  • DW wants to save a PHP file instead of opening with WAMP

    Hi all

    I just set up my new computer and flew over all my files.

    After the Re - Installation DW and try to test a simple php file (<? php phpinfo();? >) DW tried to save the file ( instant screen here) instead of opening it with Apache/PHP (which works well if I goto http://localhost/array.php).

    I have apache installed via WAMP (www.wamp.com) and I have my www to C:\wamp\www folder and my Apache to C:\wamp\Apache2 folder and I can preview any file via if I just enter the name in my browser. But no matter WHAT php file not a not analyzing and DW tries to save him.

    Anyone see this before?

    Thank you

    Hi all

    Thanks for the reply (outside the liver and onions [which I despise!]).

    I must have missed something or have not explained myself well enough.

    I wrote this...

    Quote:
    In Firefox, if I go http://localhost/array.php it works perfectly.

    Who, to signify, means that my test server works with PHP.

    I solved this and it wasn't the server configuration, it WAS a problem of setting DW.

    I went to the title of the site-> Testing Management Server-> and models of game of php/mysql servers, acces access to local/network, assign the server folder and the prefix of the URL http://localhost/, and it works.

    I would have put this all by hand, but relied on the wizard to know that when I specified a localhost server, it is where I test. At least, that's what the question meant for me.

    Thank you

  • Save a PDF file in Windows, open in Apple-&gt; bad eyesight

    Hello
    I've saved a PDF, created with Illustrator CS6 in Windows 8.
    In this file are several layers hidden or deleted. I saved the PDF with only visible layers.

    I've sent to a client using apple. What happened is: he can see the hidden layers. And it is all messed up.

    This is the great difficulty. He can see the prices of previous customers.

    Any advice?

    Salah's right, preview Apple shows the hidden layers.

    Acrobat is not, but the hidden layers can be made visible in Acrobat too.

    This is the easiest option to delete the Illustrator layers.

  • How to save a PDF file in Adobe so it appears correctly in the Firefox default drive?

    I have seen discussions on how to change your own settings of Firefox for poster correctly PDF files (documents to look at a PDF in Firefox 19 +) However, I'm looking for a solution on how to save a PDF file so that they display correctly in the new default Firefox reader. Our files PDF is bad looking and I can not go in the browser of each clients and difficulty settings (http://www.cherrybekaertbenefits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ACA_Infographic_072114.pdf). Meet them all parameters within the Acrobat Distiller is going to fix this without the Viewer to enter their own arrangements?

    Hmm, not a subtle difference.

    We did not have many experts PDF or Adobe Illustrator users post advice here; those who might be sprinkled around on other forums, blogs or support sites.

    I noticed when you view the properties of the PDF in Adobe Reader that the PDF has been created with optimization for active fast Web view. This is a feature that allows the progressive rendering of PDF files over a slow connection (http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/optimize-native-pdf-file-sizes.html#...). You can try to re - generate the PDF file with this feature turned off to see if that makes a difference?

  • How to save a PDF file in order to open them up to the 100% instead of 177% zoom?

    Currently all of the PDF files I record 177% still open. It is not very legible and requires users to zoom in to 100% in order to see the entire document. I would like to save my PDF files so they automatically open to 100% (AKA Fit to Page) whenever a customer opens to them. Is this possible? I tried several methods, but even check adjust to Page in the menu print and then to print a PostScript does not. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Open the file in Acrobat Pro, set the initial view, and then save the file.

  • There are many versions I [changed an option] so that PDF files does not open in Firefox. v 42.0, now I have no pdf viewer by default/built-in at all.

    I don't know how long it was, but I decided that I didn't want to use the pdf viewer by default in Firefox at the time, and because things have been very slow in the browser, I disabled the default viewer and set options to ensure that all PDF files that are open outside of the browser and directly in Adobe. I have no memory of what I've done to get there in time.

    Now for c. 42.0 (and 41.0.2, front) when I go to Options > Applications and select one of the "Adobe Acrobat Document" s, my only options are always "ask," "Save the file", or «Use other...» "and there is certainly no option of Firefox Viewer in 'another use. »

    With Adobe Reader latest terms and the fact that they can now push updates when they want, I just * never * use again.

    How to bring back the integrated pdf viewer? I realize there are other pdf viewers and I'm picking through those, but I would still have a browser too.

    Oh, hang on, I missed something. When you go into Options > Application, the content type that you want to change is Portable Document Format (PDF) , which is the standard type application/pdf. (The others being obscure guys like Marlon who are not your problem). Does it work?

  • Unable to save a PDF file to the desktop or the Paticular folder

    Hi all.

    I had problems for the last two days trying to save my PDF invoices, etc. When I download the PDF and select, "save under" another window will open that displays usually my files I have, but now it appears white. No idea why this is happening and how I can fix this problem?

    I want to save my PDF files on certain folders on my desktop and in the Cloud Drive.

    Thanks in advance.

    Try the following: open Acrobat Preferences (Edit > Preferences), then go to the category "General" and disable the two options 'display... online storage '. ». Which solves your problem?

  • Save a PDF file cannot be modified, losing the file HAVE changed.

    It's great that illustrator can edit PDF files and it's great that Illustrator can record on a non editable PDF. But why, for the love of sanity, I would like to save a PDF file cannot be modified, but then have the original file, currently open HAVE disappear leaving only this little pointless PDF file? I STILL want the file HAVE to remain the main current job file original. But it doesn't work.

    Or if, for some reason I can't understand, this behavior is necessary, and right, then at least it should show unequivocally that I am to modify a PDF file cannot be modified and strongly suggest to me that I might want to save an editable PDF or HAVE a file, or even do it automatically until I close the file (or Illustrator crashes as it is wont to do).

    I'm working on a file HAVE and I need to save a small file of WIP not editable for the customer display. I go to file - save as-> PDF / smaller file size / uncheck "preserve Illustrator editing capabilities". I send the PDF file to the client and continue to work and save, assuming that I'm working on the original. The file looks and behaves exactly as it did until I taped that, intuitively, I guess that is the file HAVE same, original, with the PDF file in a copy. However, when I come back the next morning, after having closed the file, only the low resolution not editable PDF file remains. The file doesn't help, and I have to redo all the work all the way back to the last time, I saved the file I saved the PDF.

    Much trouble, loss of hair, the time wasted, face Palm trees, etc.

    The thing is, I now /know/ does and I'm going out of my way to avoid it happening, but in the race at the end of the work and send commands to the client and manage multiple versions of files, it still happens. Now clearly this is my fault, but heck, Illustrator could behave much more usefully in this regard!

    Well, I must be missing something, I guess.

    I asked how "save a copy...". "is the way lasts, and you replied that you were referring to not using Save a Copy... So I re - submit that by using Save a Copy is the solution to your original problem.

    • Work in Illustrator; number of objects; several layers, live effects, etc.
    • Want a copy of WIP for the customer as you have described originally...
    • Choose file > save a copy... Format is not question could make no editable PDF, raster format, whatever...
    • Continue to work in Illustrator... under a State record which is absolutely no different than if I had never done the Save a Copy... There is no "silent dump' edit-ability or any such similar event. If I record, I save it HAVE original, or a new if the State was not saved.

  • Save a PDF file: can I NOT the window 'Save As PDF' come?

    When I save a pdf file, I would just have the pop-up window which allows me to record on my computer... whenever I choose.

    Currently, when I go on ' file > save under "a window opens which is called,"Save as PDF ". It is relatively new, and I find it tiresome. Is there a preference which have me just save like any other document?

    I'm on a Mac under Acrobat Pro DC. Thank you!

    Please try this:

    Go to Acrobat > Preferences > General

    Uncheck the option: view the online storage when you save files

  • additional window opens each time I want to save a pdf file

    Hello

    I use adobe acrobat reader on a windows 7 Professional laptop (lenovo) dc.

    It's really annoying that every time I wanto to save a pdf file, it opens this additional window where I am asked to choose a carpet for the file. Then, there are 4 different mats, I have used it before and then opens the normal window where I can actually save the file. I just want to cancel the first step, because it takes so long if there's always a step more before the Save.

    can someone help me with this problem?

    welcomes kevin
