How to open pdf files on macbook pro

Hello- desperately needing guidance as to accessing pdf files from school.  Please help!! 

You should not even need a program to read an unlocked PDF. When the PDF is selected on the desktop, you should be able to press the spacebar (or File/QuickLook) and the PDF should be displayed in a pop-up window. This is because PDF reading is built into the system itself.
Can you read PDFs that are from sources other than your school? You should be able to read them with QuickLook, Preview, or Adobe Reader. If none of these work with no PDFs from any source, something is wrong with your system. Reading PDFs should be one of the easiest things to do on a Mac.

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

    Hi Ram,
    Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
    After logging into Desktop Intelligence, you may be presented with a message stating:
    u201CYou have received 1 document from users"
    Examining the Inbox from within the Desktop Intelligence client shows no objects visible in your Inbox.
    The object in your Inbox is in a format other than Desktop Intelligence format such as, PDF, XLS or other format. Therefore the object is not recognized by the Desktop Intelligence client inbox browser.
    Log in to Info View or the Central Management Console, browse to your Inbox and verify the file name and format that has been sent to your Inbox. The object may be saved, copied, moved or deleted as necessary.

  • How to open PDF files in Safari

    How does one open PDF files when using Safari

    Typically, you click on a link to a pdf file, and they open. If for some reason that's not working, you can right click on the link and download the file, then it should open in Preview, or Adobe Reader if you've installed that.
    What exactly are you trying to open, and what's happening when you try it?

  • How to open pdf files in browser using flex

    hi,
    my project is having a Document explorer wchich contains pdf
    files,iwant to open it in the browser.can any one tell me how to
    open pdf documents using flex programming(i tried with different
    thing like swf's but my client wants only pdf formatt).

    Another option is by calling a JSP page. This example will
    open a pdf file into a new browser without displaying the download
    "save" prompt.
    Function to call the JSP:
    private function downloadFlyer(event:Event):void {
    var jspLink:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("jsp/downloadpdf.jsp?fileName=Fundraiser_flyer_2008.pdf");
    navigateToURL( jspLink, "_blank" );
    JSP code:
    <%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
    <%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
    <%
    //Get the parameters
    String downloadFileName=request.getParameter("fileName");
    String fileName = application.getRealPath("/downloads/" +
    downloadFileName);
    File file = new File(fileName);
    if (!file.exists()) {
    throw new IOException("File does not exist.");
    // Get the size of the file
    long length = file.length();
    // You cannot create an array using a long type.
    // It needs to be an int type.
    // Before converting to an int type, check
    // to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
    throw new IOException("File too big.");
    response.reset();
    response.resetBuffer();
    response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
    response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "filename=" +
    downloadFileName);
    //Prevent the Java error: "getOutputStream() has already
    been called for this response"
    out.clear();
    out = pageContext.pushBody();
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
    OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
    try {
    int curByte=-1;
    while( (curByte=in.read()) !=-1){
    output.write(curByte);
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
    ioe.printStackTrace(System.out);
    } finally{
    output.flush();
    in.close();
    response.flushBuffer();
    %>

  • How to Open PDF Files Embedded in an Excel File

    This is a solution for Mac users who need to open .PDF files that are embedded inside an Excel file created in Office for Windows.
    I hope this solution works for other file format combinations. I am doing some experimentation to find out and will repost if I have new learnings.
    Problem:
    - Colleague sends me a .XLS which has an embedded .PDF on one sheet
    - Office: Mac 2011 will not open the .PDF because of lack of OLE support
    Solution:
    - Copy the .XLS file to a new file
    - Rename the file from <filename.xls> to <filename.zip>
    - Open the .ZIP with Archive Utility
    - Browse into the resulting "decompressed" folder to filename > xl > embeddings
    - Find the file of interest, named something like <oleObject2.bin>
    - Rename to <oleObject.pdf>
    VOILA!
    The PDF is recovered in its fully glory.

  • How do I open zip files on MacBook Pro?

    I've been trying to open .zip files, but when I do, I get a .exe file instead, and I can't open that either, when I do I get a text file with a bunch of random symbols and letters.

    .zip is a compressed file of the original, in this case a .exe file which only runs on Windows machines.
    Opening it in text edit just allows you to see the code of the program.
    So basically throw it away, it's worthless on your Mac.

    Hi Hi Sven,
    Could you please tell me the type of report you were trying execute? Is it ERP or BW? And ALV or non-ALV?
    We are supporting PDF report output type only for BW reports and for ERP non-AVL reports. For other types PDF format is not supported.
    If you configure PDF for other report types then you will get report output in PDF file in SharePoint server, but you will face above error message while opening the file.

  • How to run .exe files on macbook pro

    Just bought my first macbook pro the other day.  I absolutely love it.  Much better than the windows boxes.  I wanted to run some '.exe' files on my new laptop but was not successful finding anything on the market to use without purchasing a full OS version of Windows.  Is there any software out there that I can use to run '.exe' files without purchasing a full Windows OS to do so.  I know about parallels for MAC but that seems to require purchasing Windows OS?  Any help is greatly appreciately.
    Here are the specs on my Macbook Pro.
    2.2GHz quad core i7
    4GB RAM
    500GB HDD

    Some Windows software -- not all, by a long shot -- will run on a Mac without installing Windows, with the aid of the CrossOver Mac emulator:

    Games generally won't. For those, you need Windows installed through Boot Camp so you can run Windows natively.
