This was some bug in earlier version.
If its earlier version then upgrade and problem might solve.
Else it is the same basic steps for correcting the repository.
Load repository with Update Indices.
Restart MDM Server

Cannot delete .PDF files from a shared folder.

Hello,
I am having issues with deleting/renaming PDF files!
Permissions is not an issue as even logged in as the Network Administrator of the Domain, I still can't delete the file.
The error message I'm recieving is: cannot delete xxxx.pdf It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using this file and try again.
There are only 1 or 2 users that would have access to the files and neither of them are using them. I can also reset the security permissions for the file and take ownership, but even after doing these things it doesn't make a difference?
I've tried various unlocking tools (Unlocker) and none of them report that the file is open or that there are any locks on them. This only happens with PDF files. If I reboot the sever the problem will go away, but this server needs to be 99.999% of the
time!
Help please!

Hi,
Windows is somehow accessing Thumbs.db during the time of the folder move/delete attempt. Please go into Folder options > View > Always show icons, never thumbnails to check if you can delete .PDF files.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:

Cannot delete pdfs - says Action cannot be completed because file open in another program

Please help. I cannot delete any adobe files because get message above. I have tried repairing Adobe Acrobat but does not help.

I have no idea of your Acrobat version. For example, AA9 is currently at 9.5.4. The updates may resolve your problem (Help>Updates). However, you may find you have to not only close Acrobat, but also check the running tasks to be sure it is totally closed. Do not disable AcroTray or you will lose the ability to print to the Adobe PDF printer.

HI..
If you are using Adobe Reader ...
Try uninstalling the current copy of Adobe Reader first.
Best to use a utility to do this to make sure all the associated files are removed as well > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Then reinstall > http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Problem with deleting PDF report in "Vew Log / Trace" Section

Hello everyone I just hired as a peoplesoft programmer :)
I have a question when I try to code a report generating program
I need to delete the PDF file (report) in "View Log/Trace"Section after the AE program executed.
(Actually I just want to hide it at "View Log/Trace" Section, so that user will not be able to see it).
The following program is my code
&xmlStr = &inXMLDoc.GenXmlString();
&strFilePath = %FilePath | "PAYSLIP_" | ZH_GPR068_AET.CAL_RUN_ID | "__" | ZH_GPR068_AET.PROCESS_INSTANCE | ".xml";
&FileCS = GetFile(%FilePath | "PAYSLIP_" | ZH_GPR068_AET.CAL_RUN_ID | "__" | ZH_GPR068_AET.PROCESS_INSTANCE | ".xml", "W", "UTF8", %FilePath_Absolute);
sRptDefn = "GPR0688_B";
&oRptDefn = create PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER:ReportDefn(&sRptDefn);
&oRptDefn.Get();
&oRptDefn.UseBurstValueAsOutputFileName = True;
&oRptDefn.SetRuntimeDataXMLFile(&strFilePath);
&ftp = GetURL(URL.ZH_GPR068_PAYSLIP);
&oRptDefn.ProcessReport("", &sLangCd, &AsOfDate, &sFileExt);
&oRptDefn.ZHPrintOutput(%FilePath);
&Return_Value = PutAttachment(GetURL(URL.ZH_GPR068_PAYSLIP), &sss | ".pdf", %FilePath | &sss | ".pdf");
&conFileLog.WriteLine("PutAttachment Return Value:" | &Return_Value);
If &Return_Value = 0 Then
Local Record &ZH_PSLP_EE;
&ZH_PSLP_EE = CreateRecord(Record.ZH_PSLP_EE_DATA);
&ZH_PSLP_EE.EMPLID.Value = ZH_GPR068_AET.EMPLID;
&ZH_PSLP_EE.CAL_RUN_ID.Value = ZH_GPR068_AET.CAL_RUN_ID;
&ZH_PSLP_EE.ATTACHSYSFILENAME.Value = &ATTACHSYSFILENAME;
&ZH_PSLP_EE.ATTACHUSERFILE.Value = &ATTACHUSERFILE;
&ZH_PSLP_EE.Insert();
End-If;
/*Delete(hide) the report file*/
Local JavaObject &javaFile;
&javaFile = CreateJavaObject("java.io.File", %FilePath);
&javaFile.delete();
&tmpfile1 = GetFile(%FilePath | &ATTACHSYSFILENAME, "W", "UTF8", %FilePath_Absolute);
&tmpfile1.Delete();*
/*Delete(hide) the report file*/
After the program executed, the pdf report still exist and not being removed in "View Log/Trace" Section
&ATTACHSYSFILENAME already contain the PDF extension.
I am hoping someone can help me to find out what's wrong with my program results in cannot delete the PDF file in the "Vew Log / Trace" Section
Thank you so much

Maybe there's something I don't get very well, but that's quite strange to make a user able to run a process without making him able to see the report, or at least the log.
Anyway, I think it should be better to solve it through the config rather than changing code.
Have a look to the red-paper below, page 57 :
http://download.oracle.com/peopletools/documents/Securing_PSFT_App_Environment_May2010%20v4.pdf
I may be wrong, but I'd tend to have a look first on the process definition, "Process Security", or on permission list (process monitor)...

How to delete .pdf file after viewing in SAP

Hi,
I've a program to show a pdf file within a SAP window using the open document method form the class cl_gui_pdfviewer. Now I want to delete the pdf file once I choose the back button or exit the program. How can I do that.
In the PAI for the screen showing the pdf file, I have a case statement to perform the following
When 'EXIT'
     call method my_pdf_viewer->close_document.
        .....    <--- some coding to try deleting the pdf file
     leave program.
endcase.
It seems that the pdf file is still in use by the program and cannot be deleted before leaving the program. Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Francis

Hi All,
I have had this issue and have finally resolved it. Here's how:
you need to destroy your custom container and html viewer control AND flush the front end cache. This releases the lock on the file and lets you then delete it.
Here's an example code:
When 'EXIT'
call method my_pdf_viewer->close_document.
CALL METHOD my_pdf_viewer->FREE
    EXCEPTIONS
      CNTL_ERROR        = 1
      CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2
      others            = 3
IF SY-SUBRC is initial.
    free my_pdf_viewer.
ENDIF.
this is the custom control parent container that contains the html control
CALL METHOD MY_CONTAINER->FREE
     EXCEPTIONS
       CNTL_ERROR        = 1
       CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2
       others            = 3
IF SY-SUBRC is initial.
    free my_container.
ENDIF.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>dispatch.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush
        EXCEPTIONS CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1
        CNTL_ERROR = 2.
... <---- Delete PDF file (Delete Dataset xxxxxx.pdf)
leave program.
endcase.
The other issue brought up is probably a permission issue -- trying to read the file from the presentation server versus a mapped drive that the SAP backend can access. I read pdf files from a shared drive that the SAP backend can read/write to and it picks it up and displays just fine.
Cheers,
Matt

Cannot delete pages in Acrobat 9 Standard

We have several new computers we just installed and 7 new acrobat 9 standard discs with serial numbers. Installation went fine. We can create PDFs but when we try to edit, we cannot delete pages. Online help shows how to delete pages in Acrobat 9 Standard, but the Delete option is not available on the menus.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 9 Standard on one computer to see if a new install would fix the problem, but it did not. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

Please use the camera icon for uploading screen captures or other pictures, then we do not have to wait for the file to be approved. To try to help a bit let us get a bit more information. OS? Any plugins for Acrobat installed? Try this on a pdf that you create. Make sure no security is set for the pdf file.

Cannot Display PDF in Browser

On our enterprise network I have found that suddenly folks cannot display PDF's in the Internet Explorer 7 browser.
The software and versions that are affected are:
Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.3.3
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.3
Adobe Reader 9.3.3
Troubleshooting steps I have done:
Unchecked the option to Display PDF in Browser and rechecked it/
Completely uninstalled Adobe Pro/Reader has no effect. This includes deleting all files in c:\program files\Adobe\ and c:\program files\common files\Adobe\Acrobat\
Rebooting then manually reinstalling.
It behaves the same for Adminstrator accounts.
I have deleted the AcroExch.Document registry key and then repaired Acrobat to replace it.
Not sure what else to try. Is there a registry fix or could this be set by a Group Policy? I assumed that if it was a Group Policy then it would just uncheck the 'Display in PDF Browser' option in Adobe preferences. Even if that IS checked, PDF files still open outside of Internet Explorer.
Also note: we have Internet Explorer 7. Enable 3rd Party Browser Extensions IS disabled by a Group Policy but I think that only affects the Acrobat Toolbar from being implemented, not displaying PDF in a browser.
Any other helpful suggestions on what to try next would be appreciated.

Found the problem. It was a McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention Policy that was blocking it. Once that was updated, PDF files could display in IE.

Cannot Open PDF in Safari

Can someone please help.
I cannot open PDF files through Safari. I've read some of the other comments on the same/similar issue and I have tried those steps and have been unsuccessful. I still cannot view PDF files through Safari, in fact, the Preview doesn't even open. When it worked the preview icon would pop up in the tool bar at the bottom of my Mac Book, but it no longer does that. Here is what I've tried;
Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
Removed Adobe from applications and deleted.
Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
Went to internet preferences and un clicked enable plug ins.
Not quite sure what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

Hi Roxana ..
Which Mac OS X do you have installed and which version of Safari ??
Upgrading my Adobe, even though I know you don't need it for Mac.
You do if you want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files.
Went to Library and internet plug ins and there is nothing in that folder.
There are two libraries. One is root /Library
The other denotes your Home folder ~/Library (the Tilde character represents your Home folder)
Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
If you see the Adobe PDF browser plugin or just PDF Browser plugin, move that to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.

Cannot open .pdfs in Firefox

My wife's machine is running Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Cannot open .pdfs in the browser. Clicking a link to a .pdf will open a new tab that immediately closes, leaving me right back where I was, as if I had never clicked the link. I can right click, then Save As, download the file and open in Adobe Acrobat X. But that's not what I want, and not how it was designed.
Internet Explorer 11 opens .pdfs in the environment described above, in-browser, with no problems.
I've followed all the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972278 and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html. Neither Mozilla's nor Adobe's instructions can get me up and running.
As a nuclear option, I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, restarted the machine, uninstalled Firefox, restarted the machine, re-installed Adobe Acrobat, restarted the machine, and re-installed Firefox, and restarted the machine. Attempting to open any .pdf yields the same result, even after uninstalling and re-installing everything. What's going on here? Why does Firefox open a blank tab, and then close it right away? Block pop-ups is set to off, and antivirus pop-up blocking is disabled.
My own machine running Windows 7, Firefox 34.0.5, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard opens .pdfs in-browser just fine, with no problems.
Any advice? I'm pulling my hair out!! Thanks for your time.

Hey,
Try the following:
* Go to setting (3 bars) > options > applications.
* Under applications panel.
* Find Portable Document Format (PDF) in the list and click on it to select it.
* Click on the drop-down arrow in the Action column for the above entry and select Use PDF reader name (in Firefox) or preview in firefox.
If PDF files are still downloaded instead of displayed, try these solutions
Reset download actions
* Open your profile folder:
Click the menu button[[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help[[Image:Help-29]]and select Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
Click the menu button[[Image:New Fx Menu]]and then click Exit [[Image:Close 29]]
Delete the mimetypes.rdf file.
Then open firefox again and see.
I hope it helps.

I purchased an annual subscription to Acrobat Pro XI and installed on my Mac two days ago. I cannot open PDFs. I keep getting a dialogue box saying my trial has ended and asking if I want to buy the software. Was using Acrobat Pro 9 previously. It appears even that won't open. SOS!

Hi Margot ,
You can click on accept or buy ,which ever option you see on that dialog box.It will prompt you to type in your Adobe Credentials.You can license it by doing the same.
If it still doesn't work ,follow these steps and see how it goes .
Delete all the files from following folders:
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLStore
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SLCache
And, delete all files from following folder except cache.db
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
Then launch Acrobat and try to activate and check.
