Windows 10: Download of documents read

Hi; I am just getting started with W10 and am working my way through trying to understand how what I was used to in W7 can be seen in W10 (I bypassed W8).

My query might have nothing to do with W10 but, with Adobe Reader installed I am finding that all documents I read from a website are automatically downloaded to my computer. I have looked for settings in both W10 and Adobe but cannot find anything about automatic downloading. This did not happen in W7.

Does anyone know how to stop this automatic download?

Thanks

Alan

Windows 10 Upgrade - CAN'T SAVE TO DOCUMENTS FOLDER. EVERYTHING IS READ ONLY

The Downloads folder seems unaffected so this is what I did.

I created a new folder in the Downloads folder and called it "New Documents". Then copied everything from the Documents folder to New Documents. Then right clicked the New documents name, selected properties,

unticked the read only box, then clicked Apply, then clicked OK.

This worked for me.

 

How to get PDFs on the phone for the Adobe Reader App to read?

I want to have the great Petzold ebook on my phone to be able to read on the bus. I downloaded the Adobe Reader app - but it says I don't have any documents to read... How do I get my PDF documents on to the phone so the reader can read them?

Thanks,

Hi,
Welcome to the forums, open Adobe reader, click Edit, select Preferences, click Internet in the left pane, tick the box "Display in read mode by default". HTH.

 

Thanks brummyfan for quick and succinct response.

Following your steps I find that 'Display in read mode by default' is already ticked.

So I tried unchecking 'Allow speculative download in the background' in case this was the culprit; but it was not.

Is W10 involved in this at all?

 

You are welcome, I'm not sure about the involvement of Windows 10*Smile
EDIT: If that doesn't help, uninstall Adobe reader and try with Reader App

 

OK, thanks for that. Not sure that I like the Reader App but it does not download!

Cheers
