Mac OSX 10.5.8 form PDF printing: Can anyone tell me why it might be that sites which generate a unique PDF for download will malfunction with Firefox but not with Safari or Chrome? A typical example is
Purolator.ca: clicking on the javascript link to print a waybill returns a cgi file but no pdf.

How would I go about recreating the document display functionality of Google Books / Safari Books online? I was expecting to be able to take a PDF source and serve each page as a PNG to the browser. This appears not easy to do? It seems like a simple thing to do, but I'm running into a bunch of brick walls.

How can I download a bunch of .pdfs from a webpage all at once? The page I'm looking at is a list of .pdfs available (for a class I'm in - course materials), with a link to download each .pdf file. I've tried using the Firefox extension
downthemall, but there's a catch - the links I click to download the .pdfs individually are javascript popups that look like this:
javascriptf:pop('docs/12004/andes_vegetation.pdf','yes',",",'12004');
Is there a way to grab all of these at once, or am I doomed to clicking each and every link to open a new window, save as, etc.?
