Does anyone know why I can't download pdf's from website links?t was working, then about a week ago, it stopped working. I can start the download, but it times out right at the end. I am using Acrobat XI. The only time I can't open a pdf, if it is a website link, a pdf file opens fine, just a link to a pdf. Any help is appreciated.

Which software are you using to create the web site?

My guess without more to go on is that a) the link paths are broken or b) the code contains critical errors.

I am not creating websites. I am visiting various State websites to download applications or forms, the links allow you start the download, but they time out before complete. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for your help.

Acrobat XI we purchased.


Just so I understand your workflow.

a) You're clicking/tapping a PDF link in your browser.

b)  The PDF should download to your default Downloads folder but it isn't.

Is that correct?

If not, please describe your workflow.
