Filename is a wrong argument if not .pdf - Linux Acroread 9.5.1

We recently installled acroread 9.5.1 on Linux .  When we try to convert a PDF file that does not have a .pdf extension, we get the error shown below.   This does not happen if the file has a .pdf extension or and does not happen with the 8.1.4 LINUX version that we have. 
Is there a way to get the 9.5.1 version of acroread to not care what the name or extension of the input file is?

selway1: Did you ever find a solution? I'm having exactly the same problem in Acroread 9.5.5
We've been looking for a cross-platform method of signing and verifying documents. gpg is the best I've seen so far, but a couple of the Windows boys and Mac-heads are worried about needing to type at a command prompt. Unfortunately, Acroread just seems too broken to be a serious contender, especially since it seems this particular issue has existed for over two years.

    HI krishbiliyar,
    Where did you download the file from? Does the file have PDF filename extension? And where are you getting the message that it's not a PDF file? In Reader or Acrobat?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Clip Notes .pdf error - "Bad encrypt dictionary"

    I'm using OS X Leopard (10.5)
    I created a Premiere Pro 2.0.1 project, added a couple of markers with comments, and exported to Clip Notes. I did not set any password protection. Emailed it as an attachment to a client who is using Windows, to see if they could open it. They could not, they received the following error message:
    "There was an error opening this document. Bad encrypt dictionary."
    Any ideas what this is? Is there a basic incompatibility between Mac-generated Clip Notes files and Windows platform? (I know that Mac can only export the video file in a Clip Notes .pdf as QuickTime, but that does not seem to be the problem here, the client does have QT on their Windows PC.)
    Apologies if this is the wrong forum, I could not find any obvious place to post questions about Clip Notes .pdf files.

    Same thing happened to me.  Update your adobe reader to the latest version.  Open the file with that reader instead of with your copy of adobe acrobat.  Unfortuanltey, you lose all the features of the adobe software, but at least you can read the file.
    Hope you are able to read the doucments from the utility.
    Note:  If you are saving pdf's save then in a version that will allow those who have at least acrobat 6.0.  Many orgnaizations and people are a couple of versions behind due to realative costs of upgrading.  This simple task will save you those emails about "bad encrypt dictionary" and allow many to read your pdf's with no problems.  At least that's been my experience.

  • CompiledWsdl jws argument does not work

    Hi I am following the "Use Cases and Examples" documentation for WebLogic 10.3 and I cannot get the "Creating a Web Service from a WSDL File" section to work.
    When I use the contents of the pasted wsdl and build.xml file, included in the documentation, I get an error where examples.webservices.wsdlc.TemperaturePortType class is not found and therefore the command ant build-service fails.
    The class is in the correct namespace and in the TemperatureService_wsld.jar file which is pointed to by the compiledWsdl argument in jws element under jwsc element so either the example is incomplete or WRONG or the jwsc tool is broken.
    Please help me resolve this issue. I shoudln't have to spend 1/2 without success just following a simple example and using all the code from the example so either the documentation and example are wrong and were not tested before being published or the jwsc tool is broken in Weblogic 10.3.
    Here is the link for the documentation and source code for the example:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/webserv/use_cases.html#wp244395

    ever got this resolved? tnx

    I just joined. I selected convert PDF to a word doc. I downloaded it. but I still can't edit it. What am I doing wrong? Are some PDF unable to be converted?

    Hi karenb60536875,
    There are some PDF types (such as those that are password-protected) that can't be converted. But when that's the case, you'll get a message during conversion, and the conversion will stop. It doesn't sound like that's the case for you.
    What happens when you open the converted Word document in Word? Do you see an Enable Editing button at the top of the document? If so, please click that. If you're still unable to select text in the Word document, try triple-clicking to select it.
    For reference, I will say that the quality of the conversion depends on the quality of the PDF (see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community). So, there may be cases where a PDF written by a third-party application (a non-Adobe app), may not be written to spec, and that can affect the accuracy of the conversion.
    Best,
    Sara

    You have the iPhone 3GS, not the 3G. The last update to support the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
    iOS 4.3.3 includes bug fixes etc. There is nothing really special about this update that wasn't introduced in iOS 4.3. iOS 5 is the one to wait for - it will be released in the Autumn/Fall and includes over '200' new features/improvements.
    The additional text tines and ringtones were an iPhone 4-only feature.

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.

    Nothing has been converted. You first need to convince yourself of this.
    Start Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat, if you have it). Use Open from the File menu. Pick one of your PDF files. Does it open OK? If not, what happens?
    Ok, these emails. What exactly happens when trying to open them?

  • PDF - PDF/A Conversion: Converted documents are not PDF/A compiant

    Hi,
    I am using adobe LiveCycle 8.2 to convert PDF documents to PDF/A.
    I tried this in two ways.
    First I used the toPDFA method of the DocConverterService. In that case most of the pdf-documents could not be converted.
    In another case I used the toPS method of the ConvertPdfService to convert the file to PostScript and then the createPDF method of the DistillerService service to go from PostScript to PDF/A. When I open the converted files in Adobe Reader 9, I get the message "You are viewing this document in PDF/A mode", but when I check the document with the isPDFA method of the DocConverterService then in most cases the document is not PDF/A compliant. When I use toPDFA method on this document it can be made PDF/A compliant.
    What is the preferred way to convert PDF to PDF/A?
    When is a document PDF/A compliant? When Adobe Reader says it is, or when LiveCycle says it is? And if Adobe Reader is right, Is there a way to check compliance with LiveCycle?
    Thanks.

    What sort of card are you trying to add ? There have been a number of posts recently from people having debit cards declined, so I'm not sure if they are still accepted in the store - they are not listed on this page as being a valid payment method.
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including spacing and format) as you have on your iTunes account, and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help with it's not being accepted : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How do I copy a document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

    How do I copy an entire document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

    Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process  that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
    Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

    Don't switch email providers. Switch to another email client on your Mac. It is not Yahoo. I have 3 Yahoo accounts and never have any problems getting or sending mail from/to those accounts. But I don't use the built in Mac Mail program. I use Thunderbird. I use thunderbird on both Mac OS X and Windows. Been using it for some time now with no problems getting my Yahoo mail, Google gmail mail or form my work email account.

  • Nesting of AGO or TODATE functions with differing level arguments is not supported

    I have a column in BMM which calculates the Year-To-Date Sales. This function uses the ToDate function to caculate the YTD.
    I need to develop another formula column which shows the last-year's YTD.
    I develop this formula in BMM by AGO on the YTD column which already uses a ToDate function.
    In BI Answers when selecting this column, results in the below message:
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 22044] Nesting of AGO or TODATE functions with differing level arguments is not supported. (HY000)

    To reply to my own question. It appears I got it working, that is, the error message problem is solved, but I still have questions on how to use these functions.
    To get it to work, I added the primary key D_TIJD.TIJDKEY at the level of the lowest grain in my dimension (level tab).
    What I still wonder is how to make it select the right values. I have the following hierarchy: bookyear - bookperiod - week. A bookperiod contains 4 or 5 weeks (4,4,5 in a quarter), so 12 periods in one year. I defined a measure at period level and another at that level with the ago function, that should return the figures for that same period of the year before. My first question is, whether to go back 12 periods or 52 weeks (which is the lowest grain in my dimension)?
    The second question is how to use a combination of TODATE and AGO so that if I calculate the current period (of which only 2 weeks are passed), I also only want to include the same two weeks for that period one year ago in order to make a correct comparison. How do I do that???
