I used to be able to download all .pdf files. I'm on v10.6.8 and I believe I updated my Adobe and since then I can still download .pdf but can't save these files. Has anyone fixed this problem who can assist me?
Try dragging the PDF off the email to the desktop. Command S to save.
Thank you for the suggestion and if I get stuck again I will try that. Wish I would have known it was as simple as your recommendation, I would have saved myself some research! Here is how I resolved the problem. I kept searching via google regarding my problem until I resulted a similar question. I had to stay focused on my operating system and the problem in order to find someone who had the same issue. I was told to go to the MAC library/internet plug-ins. Remove to the trash any file with "PDF". I had two files. Since my problem started last year when I upgraded my Adobe, I logically removed the Sept 2012 file to the trash and restarted my computer. I left the remaining PDF file (1) below and figured I would remove that after removing #2. Following are the two files and the one I had to remove is #2
1. Adobe PDF viewer.plugin
2. AdobePDGViewerAJPAPI.plugin (yeah!!)
T H A N K Y O U !
This solved a problem that had been plaguing me for months. Yay!
However, for me the offending file was:
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
Cannot save .pdf
