How do I get rid unnecessary processing of pdf files that delays opening

Some time ago I got a question whether I wanted to structure my files for better reading or something like that. Unfortunately, I said yes. Since then it takes for ever to open pdf-files. I have not yet found a way to remove this in my mind unnecessary service.

Hi Christian,
Please let me know the version of Adobe Acrobat/Reader & Operating System installed on your computer in order to diagnose the issue correctly?

How do I get rid of the "Downloads" button on my bookmarks toolbar? Somehow it just appeared and I can't get rid of it.

How do I get rid of the "Downloads" button on my bookmarks toolbar? Somehow it just appeared and I can't get rid of it.

Firefox 20 changed from the old Download Manager to a new Download Panel. You can find a complete write-up here: [[Find and manage downloaded files]].
I suggest keeping that arrow around since it provides handy notifications. You can use the Customize feature to drag it down to the add-on bar where it won't take up as much space. To start customizing:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
* tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Customize
If you really don't need it, just drag it to the Customize dialog. You can always come back for it later if you like.

How do I get rid of a download?

I have a movie that was downloaded, but now, after thinking I deleted it, it keeps coming back. How do I get rid of the movie permanently?

What do you mean by, "it keeps coming back?" Back from where? From where was it deleted - your hard drive, iTunes library? Did you put it in the Trash then empty the Trash?

How can I get rid of speed download without the uninstaller?

Having trouble downloading, and reading that speed download could be the problem, I trashed it. The trouble is, I trashed the uninstaller along with everything else. Is there anyway to get rid of speed download? Safari quits when I try to download something, like a widget.

You're welcome. Glad to have helped.

How do I get rid of unwanted downloaded apps/programs that "came with" my download?

I just downloaded PhotoShop Elements 12 - which I needed for work - onto my brand new Mac, and now there are these annoying UNWANTED apps sitting there that I can't get rid of: checkclientstatus, AALauncherUtil and macui. Hope can I dump these things? Really puts a bad taste in my mouth about wanting to download anything else from Adobe in the future.

kglad - Thanks so much for responding so quickly and trying to help. It took awhile, but I finally found out where they were located and how to dislodge them. It's just incredibly annoying when someone - or something - else lodges itself in your "home" and attaches with electronic superglue...especially when you're just moderately tech-savvy. It's nice to know someone out there - who is - was willing to help.
(clearly, they weren't apps, but they popped up on my Launchpad like them...as I said, I'm moderately tech-savvy...if that...)

How can one get rid of 100MB download limit over cellular?

It is a big limitation , I thinks such unnecessary and unexplained rules create a lot of dissatisfaction . Why should we be restricted to download on ou own iPad ?

This limit is due to agreement between Apple and the cell carriers, the latter of whom don't want to see their limited bandwidth taken up by people downloading huge files. If you want to see that limit changed, you should provide feedback to Apple;

and to your cell carrier.

How do I get rid of random "AI Temp" files that appear on my desktop?

I am accumulating random AI Temp files on my desktop which do not open and cannot be removed. Where are they coming from and why can't I get rid of them? I would would appreciate any suggestions as to how to eliminate this nuisance.

I really don't know what causes the problem. I have had it myself occasionally when saving to a server, but in that case the temp files could always be trashed and deleted.
You can try this though, it might work:
Quit Illie and trash the temp files. Empty trash. See what happens after you have restarted Illie and used her for a bit.
If the problem persists, do the same again and reboot your machine.
If this still doesn't do the trick, quit Illie and trash your Illustrator Preferences (the whole folder and its contents).
Restart Illie and see if things have mended themselves.
You never know your luck :-)

Since downloading firefox, I can no longer open a PDF file? How do I get my computer to open PDF files?

I am enrolled in college and have to down load graph paper. The teacher posted a link to her copies of graph that we can download at home. The graph paper link is a PDF file and when I click on the link the page opens but it's only a white page. I also have this problem whenever I try to open any PDF file. Usually, the screen goes black. This problem started when I downloaded firefox and I do not know how to fix it. Can you help?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

How can I get rid of "_data" behind xml file name

Hello everybody,
I use xfa.host.exportData("",0) to export xml file which I cann't appoint the name of xml. After I click the exporting button, a window jumps and fill the xml file name automatically, the name is "PDF file name_data.xml", in Adobe Reader Chinese version, "_data" will be translated by Chinese word, so it is not convenience to unify the method of getting xml.
My problem is if I can get rid of the postfix "_data" in xml file name? I doulbt maybe I can set in LiveCycle Designer, but I can't find out at present.
Thanks in advance!
Enlly

Hello radzmar
Thank you for you soon reply!
I learned about the function exportData(), and my form is not certified, so I use exportData("",0) to export xml file. After I click the export button, it will jump out a window to ask for selecting the path, where users want to save the xml file, and, in this window, LiveCycle will fill xml file name automatically by "xxxx_data" (xxxx is the pdf form name). I just wonder if I can avoid "_data" ?
Do you have any idea? Thanks!

How do I get iTunes to sync working PDF files to iPad (iBooks)?

iTunes is synching PDFs into its books section (I can confirm the latest file times) but not passing the updated PDF to iPad iBooks during syncs (the file is selected for sync). How do I get iTunes to sync the latest PDF to iPad without manually deselecting and then reselecting to force a sync?

The problem here is that iTunes wants to make sure that the songs that were purchased are sent to the same device that purchased them. In this case, you would need to authorize your computer first. This is as easy as opening iTunes, find "store" in the upper status bar, and select Authorize This Computer. A dialogue will pop up asking for your iTunes ID and your password. Enter the ID you purchased the songs with. Afterwords, you should be able to sync the songs.

How can i get my computer to read pdf files?

My computer has stopped reading Adobe pdf files. I keep getting a Microsoft Word File Conversion box which asks if i want to use Windows Default, MS DOS, or other encoding to read file, but nothing works. I have un-installed and re-installed Adobe Reader X on my Dell/Windows Vista PC but that hasn't helped.

How are you trying to open them? Have you tried one of them from within Reader? If you can, it sounds that you have a problem with files associations.

How can I get firefox to not save pdf files (such as bank statements I have looked at) to my documents and settings/temp folder?

I just realized that some (but not all pdf files that I have opened) pdf files of bank statements as well as other pdf files that I have opened when browsing with firefox have been saved to my documents and settings/temp folder. I am concerned about this for security of my data, but also confused as to why all of these documents (as well as some word documents and other types of non .tmp files) are being stored here. Please tell me how to stop this from happening.
Thank you,
Wimajeanne

I can understand that they would appear there if I have the document open, or have recently viewed it. These documents are over a month old, some are over a year old.
Also, it is not just PDF files, I also see word docs and java.exe files in this folder. None of these files have the %temp% in the title as they do when I have a particular document open, rather they are a copy of the file or document that I have saved to my data file.
My main concern is the security of information when random PDF and doc files are stored here without my knowledge.
Thank you.
