I'm using a Mac, using OS 10.4.11 and I'm trying to save a downloaded .pdf file in Firefox 3.6.10, what's the easiest way to accomplish that?

I downloaded a file from Apple, Support and it downloaded as a .pdf file.(http://support.apple.com/manuals/#powermac - item # 38 (4th page 8th item down). I want to cut & paste that .pdf into an AppleWorks 6.2.9 word processing document. Using the select All option, so as to highlight the material on the page - I'm not allowed this option(it doesn't do it, thus I can't copy the document and paste it. It's a 7 MB download.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HE39?viewlocale=en_US " How to Download Product Manuals (PDF files) states that:

Using a Mac with Firefox: 1) Click the manual you want to download. Firefox will ask if you want to open or save the document. 2) Choose Save and select a location to save the manual.

The option/process 1) didn't take place - It simply went directly to the window showing that the download was taking place and that window shows what is being D/L and a progress bar.

In the preference options -->General I have selected "Save files to: Desktop". I have not selected /√ "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file", however, that is exactly what happens.

Thanks for any assistance that you can provide. ole_pirate
