There will probably be several PDF file types because PDFs are served with several MIME types. Change the setting(s) to "Always Ask." Then SeaMonkey will ask for a decision each time. I find this a bit of a bother, YMMV. Yes, I have done that (always ask) but the file is never saved to disk. That is the problem. As Paul mentioned, there may be several options for Adobe Acrobat, PDF and/or Portable Document Format types in the Helper Applications list. Make sure you've changed all of them to "Always Ask". Next, try: - Go to Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications - Change all the Adobe Acrobat / PDF types to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in SeaMonkey)" - Click OK - Go back to Edit | Preferences | Browser | Helper Applications - Change all the Adobe Acrobat / PDF types to "Always Ask". Seems daft, but it just fixed the same thing for me. I hadn't even noticed it wasn't working as it should until looking at this! Using SeaMonkey 2.33.1 on Windows Vista, the following links were all opening with the Adobe Reader plugin even though I had "Always Ask" selected: <http://documents.hants.gov.uk/education/SchoolYear2015-2016-Approved2507corrected.pdf> <http://int-scout.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Tanzania-2017-Leaders-QA-W3.pdf> <http://www.nationwide.co.uk/~/media/MainSite/documents/products/insurance/car-insurance/About-our-car-insurance-services.pdf> After changing the Adobe Acrobat types to "Use Adobe Acrobat" and then back to "Always Ask", I now get prompted what to do for the above links. It seems actual behaviour had got out of sync with the displayed options...

The only time I'd want to remove an association would be if the type doesn't exist (due to a typo), and in that case, it would be purely for elegance's sake, since SM will never see it. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

I noticed this too on my Macs after I updated to the latest edition of Adobe Reader (versions 10 and/or 11). Seems somehow something is wonky between SM and/or Reader. It can be fixed by going back to an older version of Reader, though. Reader version 9 works. A workaround is to right click on links for .pdf files and select Save Link Target As from the contextual menu. Then you can open the file from your desktop with a double click. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: PDF files
I really needed a pdf document (listed as such, but actually an aspx document), so I dusted off internet explorer and tried to get the document, with the same results. I reasoned that the problem must be within Adobe reader; on their help menu is an option to repair adobe reader. I chose that, and windows worked some magic and the problem is now solved. Thanks for the recommendation; right clicking and saving to the desktop worked for pdf documents, but not aspx documents, but it was a lot more work than the functional seamonkey.

This can also be a server problem, in which the MIME type for the PDF file is incorrectly specified.

Downloading pdf files and Adobe Reader
I've been downloading some pdf files on Reloading from Dillon Precision. http://www.dillonprecision.com/ They set it up as a page by page thing and the pages are about 2.5 MB each as pdf. The process is slower than getting a kid to eat Broccoli ! I cannot tell how much progress is being made until the page is finished loading and then Adobe Reader starts working... Questions: Is there a way to speed this up (w/o going to DSL - I'm on dial-up) ? Is there an Adobe Reader plug-in that would speed up things? Is there a way to see what % the process is at - like when the Download Manager shows % loaded ? BTW - the process is not thru the Download Manager... I thank all of you for your assistance.

DoctorBill over the Hill The only thing I can think of is to download the PDF first, then view it on your local machine. You can download by using Shift+click on the PDF link rather than just clicking on it. This will open the Save As dialog. When you save the file to your local machine, it will show you progress. The downside is that you have to save to your local disk, but at least you get the progress of the download. That didn't work..but it led me to right click and Save Target as... which in my feeble old brain, I keep forgetting about. THAT goes to the Download Manager. At least now I can bypass SM having to load Adobe Reader up to see the file. I can do that later when I am done. Thanks for the advice.

In addition, double-clicking the downloaded file doesn't add the bulk of the browser's frame to the PDF viewer's frame, taking up yet more of your screen space. The *waiting for a pageload to complete* thing is also less of a pain with more modern browsers based on WebKit or--$DIETY forbid--Trident (IE8) which are multi-process engines in contrast to Gecko's dated multi-thread architecture. ...and yeah, for dialup users it's important to learn all the little tricks. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
