  Running 10.7.3  / safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)  / acrobat 10.1.3

   

  Same issues can't save pdfs from Safari / can't edit / can't print.

   

  Will delete the two mentioned files but how do I reinstal adobe 10.1.3 ?  ( do not have disks )  - better question why doesn't adobe fix this with an appropriate update - save us the grief of fixing it !

   

  UPDATE - deleted the two mentioned files , closed adobe X and safari , then without installing anything I restarted both - now works fine !  Hope may help some one else.

  Same problem – simple fix!

   

  I had the same problem here of no longer being able to > File > Save As > PDF

   

  I discovered by chance that if you simply hoover with the mouse towards the bottom of the PDF window a simple tool bar appears. Select the left-hand 'disk' icon and save this way. It's probably a slightly quicker than the traditional method. I could save the PDF to my desktop without any problem.

   

  Suggest trying this before re-installing Acrobat.

  I have the same problem: Adobe Acrobat Pro X, OS X 10.7.3, Safari 5.1.5 and Firefox 11.0.  I do not have Adobe Reader.

   

  PDFs now cannot be downloaded from Firefox. PDFs cannot be saved or printed from Safari (they can be seen).

   

  Clicking on the "Adobe" symbol in the pop-up toolbar at the bottom of the Safari window when the PDF appears will produce an Adobe toolbar at the top of the window. Clicking on the "disk" symbol will permit the PDF to be downloaded and renamed.

   

  Nothing works in FIrefox; clicking on a link to a PDF in Firefox produces a new page, like FF used to do, but no download occurs and no Adobe toolbar appears at the bottom of the window.

   

  This is a serious flaw and a major waste of time.

   

  I have not yet, but will, delete the plugins.

  I deleted both plugins. Now Safari 5.1.5 and Firefox 11.0 both work correctly.

   

  This is a bug that should have been caught before release and never released into the wild.

  A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM:

   

  When I came across the same problem today, I found this forum (and a couple of others that I'll post to).  Nothing worked, and then I noticed a little window that opened at the bottom of the document as I was viewing it in Safari.  It includes a printer icon, so I clicked it and tried to find a way to do the usual, clumsy Print--->Save routine.  Didn't work, but I got an error message telling me to "Save" the document.

   

  The window at the bottom of the document also includes the standard floppy disk symbol for saving, so I clicked it and Voila!  After all these years, it's suddenly very easy to save PDFs!  No digging through the Library and full functionality!  Thank you, Adobe.  It's about damn time.

  I don't know if I understand correctly or if you guys have the same issue I have, but I would appreciate some help.

   

  I can read PDF's without any problem in Safari 6.0.1. My issue is if I want to print directly from Safari and NOT from the small grey overlay appearing "save,print, zoom etc" grey buttons which appear when hovering over lower screen when on a PDF file. If I print from those grey buttons I get this window with little preview showing on the right-hand side above the "print" button:

  

  

   

  Now to my issue: If I want to print from the default print button in Safari, the preview window, as you can see on next screenshot, stays blank and when I print it also prints a blank document!

  

   

  Any idea what I couls do about this? The fact is that my accounting program always automatically pops up the Safari print preview you see above for printing invoices and I always have to cancel the print and click on teh icons at the bottom of the page!

   

  All feedback welcome!!

   

  Thanks in advance
