Two days ago Safari started refusing to save PDFs. I have emptied the cache, trashed the com.apple.Safari.plist but nothing has worked. Help!
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
What exactly happens when you try?
Well it said it could not save the PDF file. Then a friend suggested I use the save button that comes up when you move the mouse over the bottom of the document...and it worked! Why I do not know.
Hi ...
If you have trouble with saving PDF's again ...
There's another way to clear the Safari cache and sometimes does a more thorough job than from the Safari menu bar.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
Hi there Carolyn
Its me again ! I've just encountered the same problem and using the save button at the bottom of the window works for me too. Trashing the cache file as you suggest didn't change anything so not sure why we still can't save pdfs as before ? Any ideas?
Suddenly Safari will not save PDFs on my Mac; why?
