can't save PDF documents with safari

Hello,

It seems it's a problem with plugin(s) from Adobe Reader.

You can try that :

1. Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
2. If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
3. Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
4. If it works you can empty the trash.

Hope this will help. 🙂

thanks

I had this same issue after updating Adobe. Removing the file with pdf in it's name fixed it. Thanks!

I've been having this problem for a while. I've looked in my internet plug-ins folder, but only have two files, neither of which ends in .pdf.

What should I do?

@jeyb4green i'm in the same boat. No files ending in .pdf in the internet plug-in folder. Just started happening today.

The two files I trashed were:

- AdobePDFViewer.plugin

- AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin

This fixed both the "Save As" issue I was having with Safari and viewing issues I was having in Firefox.

Hello

Pl check what version of Safari that you are using currently. If you are using the latest version Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3), then when you open a pdf document in Safari you may not able to export of save as earlier.

Just open the document and scroll down to the end of the document.

You will find Save/Print/ PgUP/PGDn/Zoom In /Out functions . Using the Save you can save the documents in whatever format that you would want too.

I was able to save With CDR's reponse, on the far right of the tool bar I saw an Adobe symbol as well.

Removing the files jgcobbs lists works for me, too.

Like the two posts above jgcobbs', I too at first thought that I didn't have those files. Then I realized that I wasn't careful in opening the Library folder in Your Hard Drive, but rather I opened the Library folder on my user account folder.

Now I'm wondering if I will lose some some kind of pdf functionality with those plug-ins missing. I'll be on the look-out for weirdness...

Thanks mcbuffy and jgcobbs...I was really missing this feature!

Hi,

I had the same problem and the solution worked for me.

A couple thoughts -

The Internet Plugins folder that Mcbuffy is referring to is in the library folder associated with your drive, not the one under your user account.

Also, the files may not END in pdf, they might just have PDF in the name. I already trashed the ones (two) that were apparently the source of my problem so I don’t have the exact file names, but they both were Adobe files, both had PDF in the name and I do not think either actually ENDED with .pdf.

Good luck!

--AND THANKS MCBUFFY!!

EXCELLENT! thanks 😎

I just put one in the trash - AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin but that seems to have worked.

Thank you! It helps!

Yes, this even worked with Mountain Lion, 10.8.2 and latest Safari, 6.0.1
