When I download a pdf file, I used to be asked if I wanted to open or save.  Now, the file is saved only. How can I go back to be invited?

When I download a pdf file, I used to be asked if I wanted to open or save.  Now, the file is saved only. It's really annoying, because the file name of the saved file does not identify it somehow, and I find myself with a bunch of unknown files on the desktop.  How can I go back to being able to view the file when it is downloaded (and so to save it on the spot with an understandable file and to an appropriate folder name)?

I know you hate Adobe, but this parameter does not have to do with Adobe at all, in fact... This is an internal setting of Firefox.

Anyway, change go to Tools - Options - Applications and enter "pdf" in the filter field. Change the action associated with this type of file to do what you want, in this case always 'ask '.

  • Why several download windows pop up when I download a PDF file or other file?

    Whenever I try to download a file (PDF, JPG, DOC), which was attached to an email (I use Outlook WebMail) the document will download very well HOWEVER eight (8!) or more to download windows pop up as if I tried to download that file eight times (or more).

    So I 'X' by each window after downloading a file. This is the same file on each pop-up window.

    Since it is a new problem, I tried to turn off the computer and put back in operation but failed.

    Firefox 26.0

    Any help... PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.

    A pdf file (which is a file with the pdf file of letters after the dot in the filename), can be read by installing the free software Adobe Reader (remember to uncheck the box to install McAfee Security Scan) or free Foxit Reader (frequent contributors here prefer the latter).

    If you do not have Microsoft Word, you can read Word documents (files with the doc of letters or docx after the dot in the filename), by downloading and installing the free Word Viewer (read the doc files created by Word 2003 and earlier versions) and the free Office Compatibility Pack (reads the docx files, which are created by Word 2007 and later versions).  If you choose to install these applications, be sure to visit Microsoft Update immediately after to be sure to get a needed updates.

    Adobe Flash Player is not relevant to this question.

    If you have problems to install Adobe Reader, please provide more information, including the full text of any error message, without paraphrase and the version and service pack of Windows you have (right click on desktop and select properties for more details).

  • When I download a PDF file from my browser it converts it to a word document automatically.

    How can I fix it?

    Nope. It is not "convert" because a browser can not do with a download.

    This is a file association.

    Right-click on a downloaded PDF file and choose "Properties".

    Where it says, 'Open with', select drive from the menu drop down. (You may need to browse to find in C/Program FIles(x86)/Adobe/Reader11.0/Reader)

    Click 'Apply' then 'OK '.

    A PDF file will open with the reader.

  • I use OUtlook Express for e-mail. Night that suddenly disappeared from the value of a full year of emails - for example from October 2011 to the today October 2012. How can I get back them?

    I have been using Outlook Express 6 for more than 20 years without a single problem so far. Value of a full year of emails has disappeared all of a sudden my box but all e-mail messages seem to be always in place of my sent folder.

    How can I recover these e-mails Inbox?

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     
    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     
    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
     
    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
     
    And see:

    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
     
     
     
     
    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
     
    And backup often.

  • 1 site only, when I download a pdf file, I get an error message that the file is a jsp (not a PDF) and Adobe cannot open it. How can I fix?

    I have found this problem with 2 different browsers, but had success with a 3d. I noticed that the file on Firefox was with Zoom Downloader download. Could be the problem? (Don't know whence came the Downloader Zoom). I use Firefox 18 and Win 7.

    Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions file.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
  • Im running windows vista and office 2007. Many of my files are not open and I get the message "application not found" How can I reapir this?

    I recently had my computer repaired and Office 2007 has been reloaded. Now I get the message "not found when I try to open some files and application for a single file, «windows cannot find the file...»» ».

    If I change the name of the folder, some files were opened.

    In one case, the file opened under the new name [I added a letter], then later not open again - got the same message "application not found" and the Red Cross of death.

    Hi Martin,

    How you try to open the file? You are double clicking on the icon of the file to open or by using the menu file-> the option open in the application to open the file?

    The question is limited to Microsoft Office applications?
