Thanks.  That is what I was doing.  It took me four tries to get a file that 
was viewable.  I will just have to be more patient, I  guess. <smile>

they are handled best by downloading them.

either right click on the link for the file or choose save as from the file 
menu and make sure you export as pdf.

From there, they will auto open in “preview” and you can sort of deal with them 
but whether on the web or bnotl

Hi All,
Can anyone enlighten me about dealing with PDFs in Safari?

1.  When a website link brings up a PDF page, how do I tell when it is finished 
loading?  I cannot find the loading status for a normal page either.

2.  I am unable to view the PDF unless I save it to a file  ( using the save as 
option).  Often I am unable to view the file with preview or Adobe even after 
saving it.  It says the file may be corrupted. 

3. Is there abetter way of handling PDFs from Safari or finding out what they 
are?

4.  I've not done anything with the downloads folder showing in the tool bar.  
Is there any reason to access this while in Safari?

I'm just an average user and fairly new to Apple in general.  I have a MAC with 
OSX level 10.8.5, relying entirely on the audio from voice over and keyboard 
commands.

Many thanks,
Leslie   ************
