Since last upgrade Safari 16.5.1 won't show or download PDF files, nor does it show the Download icon in Safari ToolBar. Any help ?
iMac 27″, macOS 11.7
Building on posting from @dialabrain
Have gone to AMEX and Utility Provider sites
PDF files will download and the Download in Safari Top Right of Safari does appear
So - can not duplicate the Issue you are experiencing
This is all done on Ventura 13.4.1 with the same version of Safari 16.5.1
Here i can show you how i see a (supposed pdf) bill from my phone provider. It reads "Télécharger le PDF" ie. "Download the PDF file" which is shown as the greyish zone below. and still no "Downloads" icon in the Toolbar. It is a little different with my electricity provider with displays and icon to download teh corresponding bill but this time the button has no effect. I will try to "Show Page source" when back home.
Needless to say that it all worked nicely a few weeks ago, before what i think is when the trouble began.
I have not disabled the Open "safe" item: furthermore i did not change any of the "preference items" since last upgrade, and why has the "Download" item form the Toolbar disappeared ? The link to a pdf file opens on a blank page... and that's all (i should add it happens on all pdf files, for instance from my bank account or my gas/electricity provider. Local pdf files load perfectly even while dragged to a Safari window..
Works perfectly !!! Since that last upgrade (or so do i think) i keep downloading the pdf files with my iPad then share those onto my iMac, but I would want to fix it on the iMac. I have tried to "kind of reset" Safari, moving preferences and the like of com.apple.Safari, Caches etc. to no result. Thanks
and i should add that the disappearing icon "Downloads" has reappeared in the Toolbar. I also discovered in the Websites panel of Safari Preferences a (for me) new item "Downloads" allowing or not downloading from visited web sites.
Try opening Safari with the shift key held down and test.
Suggest checking in Safari Preferences >> General
Have you disabled " Open "safe" files after downloading "
What site are these PDFs located and what is macOS 15.7.8?
as i just replied, either from my bank account or gas/eletricity/water providers. Mac OS 15.7.8 is the last upgrade for Big Sur as my iMac (late 2014) won't upgrade a more recent Os.
I think you mean 11.7.8.
Yes of course, i have mistaken with safari 15. Sorry.
Not a problem. Of course we can't go to the problematic websites to see if there is an issue there. I'll see if I can find a site with a downloadable PDF.
Can you open this page?
Thanks a lot, this fixes it all (and i just had found a site with this "trick") though i don't really understand why.
You're welcome.
Safari 16.5.1, MacOS 15.7.8 won't donload PDF files
