I had to stick the.htaccess file in the actual folder in which the files to be downloaded are stored. Using WordPress. I used: AddType application/octet-stream doc odf pdf rtf txt png jpg. Seems to work with Chrome, Safari, Opera, FireFox, but not IE. Hope this helps!

What has changed in Safari? Even if the fix described worked (reported by original poster not to), it used to be the case that you could control click on the pdf within Safari and get the option to open up in Acrobat Pro.

That's now gone. I can't imagine how/why, but this isn't Java-related is it? For me, always running the latest version of Lion available and now having updated the Java fixes.this is the only variable I know of that corresponds to this change in Safari w/pdfs for me. So, can't open in Acrobat, can't save fro within Safari. What's the alternative?

This is a definite nuisance. Apr 16, 2012 12:49 PM. Yes, it does (cursor over the pdf to find the 'save' icon), and I noticed the same thing. While visually appealing, it's an odd change to a very basic function. The loss of the control-click option to open up in Acrobat will hopefully be fixed by an Adobe update or Apple update.

Is anyone having problems with viewing pdfs within FireFox (v11)? I haven't used it as a default browser in ages, but when I go to open a pdf, there's nothing, a blank page.

This even though the prefs are set to view the pdf. Enable Scripting Activex Controls Cookies And Java Programs For Practice there. (This could be my ignorance with FireFox, I'm more concerned with the 'Save As' for pdfs and control click to open in Acrobat pro fro within Safari.At least being able to save a pdf file as 'scammo' writes, is a function that gets around the problem. Apr 17, 2012 5:56 AM. OK, I was able to fix my problem.

You can try this. In Finder Go to: Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and look for 'AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin' and move it to Disabled Plug-ins Folder (if you want to keep it). You will have to remove this file from the Internet Plug-Ins folder altogether. (I put mine in the trash) In the./Internet Plug-Ins folder you should also have the file called 'AdobePDFViewer.plugin' leave this.

In my case this was the older plug-in dated June 2011. The plug that I removed was part of the Adobe updated I downloaded yesterday which was the problem (Thanks Adobe) Relauch Safari and you should be able to save the PDF files. Cheers Apr 17, 2012 2:46 PM.

I was able to get Firefox working again by going to Firefox >Preferences >Applications and switching all to Adobe settings to 'Use Adobe Reader (default)' instead of the plugin.

Then I went to Tools >Add-ons. >Plugins and disabled the Acrobat plugin. Restarted Firefox and now pdf worked. Apr 18, 2012 10:37 AM.
