Problems in displaying .pdf documents

Hi there,
I have problems in displaying .pdf files on MacBookPro. Everytime I open an .pdf file in Acrobat Reader or any Browser, the application closes after 5-10 seconds. I don't get any error messege, the file and the application i opened it with just close. I already reinstalled Acrobat Reader twice, but no success. Does any body have advice what could be causing this problem and how to solve this?
Thanks and Regards,
Philipp

Welcome to the Forums!
What version of Adobe Reader are you trying to install? I have 8.1.2 and it runs fine, although I don't usually use it, nor do I have it set as the default browser pdf viewer.
Not sure what the issues are with Adobe Reader, but is Preview (Apple's viewer application, which displays pdfs) inadequate for some reason?

  • Problems while reading and displaying .pdf-Documents from Bfile

    Hi
    I want to read and display .pdf-Documents in Adobe-Reader that are stored as BFile. While displaying the Document Adobe Reader is showing several Errors like " ..less Picture-Data read than expected.. ". Is this a Buffer-Problem? or whatelse ??
    Thanks for help

    PrintStream wr = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    wr.close();I suspect this is the problem. You could try socket.shutdownOutput() - or you could just leave the streams alone and let socket.close() shut things down.

  • Adobe Reader DC, doesn't disable "Display PDF Document in the web browser" when option is unchecked.

    The option under Accessibility>Setup Assistanct to uncheck the "Display PDF Document in the web browser" doesn't correctly disable Display PDF in browser when unchecked, it still defaults to opening in Internet Explorer even after restarting the browser.  Confirmed this tested agianst with IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 with the same behavior.  Moving back to Reader 11.0.10 and using this same setting works flawlessly.  Anyone else experiencing this issue?

  • Problem in displaying PDF report

    Environment : WEB
    AS : Oracle 9i As
    Dev : Oracle 9i Developer Suite
    Db : Oracle 9i DB
    when we call a report(pdf format) from form, It opens up the acrobat reader then,it gives the following error " There was an Error Processing a Page. There was a problem in Reading this document(135)"
    What is the reason for this error? how can solve it?

    our setting with destype=cache, desformat=pdf, paramform=NO.
    report job status returns success. the call web.show_document() uses jobid to display the output. It launchs the pdf program, and then browser returns "PDF error 135" error.
    the actual cache is created in ora_home\midtier\reports\cache\ as #######.pdf, when manually opening it, it returns "PDF error 135".
    Usually when this issue occur, jobs queue are growing then shortly after, rweng will crash. Only way to recover is by restarting the server box.
    any ideas? Thank you in advance!

  • Problem downloading any pdf document

    When I try to download any file ending in .pdf in IE7 the tab freezes.
    e.g. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/pdfaccess.pdf
    The status line says done but nothing downloads.
    I cannot download in Mozella Firefox either.
    I can read pdf documents from files on my computer without problem.
    The pdf downloads without problem on a friend's PC.
    I am using Windows XP Home OS amd Adobe Reader 9.

    Thanks Trevon,
    That is a helpful work-around.
    I'm still puzzled as to why it will not download and display directly from the link.

  • Sudden printing problems with scanned pdf documents

    Hi, I suddenly experience problems when I want to print scanned pdf documents.
    Since 2 years, I am using an iMac with a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M and a Samsung ML-2525W. I also use Acrobat Pro 9.0 provided with the scanner. I scan documents, save them as pdfs and print them. Worked fine until just recently. If I print scanned pdf documents, the printer give white pages. Other pdf documents get printed without problems.
    I use OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and ScanSnap Manager 3.2.L63.
    Any advice is highly appreciated

    Hi Roger - the problem was going from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. That is when all of the printing problems began, as well as the wifi getting flaky. I was able to get the iMac speaking politely to the printer by installing Repair 10.6.8 and re-adding the Canon printer (see below):
    Printer “failure”
    Probably the single most common 10.6.8 problem, at least as evidenced by a massive 17 page thread in Apple Support Communities, is a failure to print. The typical symptom is that the printer driver software pauses, displaying a message that states something like: “printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed" or “/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed.” Not all printers have this problem, but users report seeing the symptom in a variety of different printers.
    As is often the case with update-related problems, reinstalling 10.6.8 from the combo updater may eradicate the symptom. Another possible solution is modifying a printer file in the /etc/cups/ppd directory (as detailed in the above-linked thread).
    Unfortunately, none of these solutions are guaranteed to work. What does reliably fix the problem is to downgrade back to 10.6.7. If you’d rather stick with 10.6.8, you can instead downgrade just the quartet of printer-related files that appear to be the root cause of the symptom. These are the socket, dnssd, lpd and ipp files, located in the /usr/libexec/cups/backend directory.
    A Mac user wrote an application, Repair10.6.8 (direct download link), that automatically downgrades these four files for you. Several users report success with this program. After running the Repair app, you may also need to “reset printing system” by selecting the command from the contextual menu for the printer name in the Print & Fax System Preferences pane.

  • Display PDF Documents Stored In Database

    Hi
    I apologise that this question has been asked many times, but I just do not seem to be able to find answer to my question in many other posts over the years.
    We have pdf documents stored in database and wish for client to view from forms session.
    I am able to use webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_With_Progress to transfer to client and open using client_host('cmd /c start '||TheFile);
    I am also able to view pdf documents stored on application server using web.show_document.
    What I would prefer to do is:
    1. Transfer file from database to application server (This is bit I cannot figure out)
    2. Display from application server using web.show_document
    3. Delete temporary file from application server (Also unsure how to do this)
    Our users have thin clients and so in many cases do not have access or unsure where can access to store temporary file if use transfer to client method. Wish to keep temporary file activity on application server.

    You can combine the methods in WEBUTIL. Check this Re: Forms 10G - Saving Blob on Application Server using Java.

  • How do I display PDF document as single pages on iPad?

    Hi,
    I have a company catalogue in PDF format, 20 pages long. We use Issuu to allow customer to view the catalogue on their PCs and mobile devices.
    In Issuu you can customise the embed widget to show single pages, and this works fine when viewing the catalogue on a PC. The problem arises when trying to view the catalogue on an iPad. It appears that the iPad automatically sets the PDF to view as a Facing Pages document. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari, or the Atomic browser we have installed (so that we can hide the URL bar).
    I've created the document in inDesign as a single page document but the iPad still merges pages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.
    The iPads will be used in our retail stores so it's important that the set up and navigation is as simple as possible. The catalogue is placed within an iFrame on the page so that I can but a navigational banner at the top that easily takes customers back to the main menu page. It's important that the catalogue opens within the page. The Issuu embed widget for Tumblr, etc only creates a preview of the catalogue which then opens in a separate tab, which unfortunately will not be suitable to our needs.
    You can view the page here: http://www.eurocollections.com/block/catalogue.html
    I've tried a number of different options, I've written to Issuu but they were unable to help as it only seems to be an iPad-related problem.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Peter

    The PDF viewers on the iPad do not understand customised widgets.  They understand the PDF format, exactly as it was designed by Adobe.  Instead of trying to use a custom solution, use the features which are provided by the PDF format.  Custom solutions work only for the situations that the company that wrote the custom solution wants them to work and they are a corruption of the normal way PDFs are used.
    In your situation I'd remove all dependency on any custom widgets from your PDF document.  Instead you can use links which allow you to click on a piece of text or an image in the PDF and the PDF software will take you to a different page.  This is part of the PDF standard and will work on all software capable of showing PDFs.  It is all your users should need to navigate from one part of your catalogue to another.  Whatever software you're using to create your PDF should give instructions on how to create links in your PDF document.
    Similarly your use of iFrames is a little stange.  If your material is on a web site, put it in web pages where you can use all the features web pages give you, including blue-underlined links to other pages.  If, instead, your material is in a PDF then put all the navigation in the PDF.  Don't try to depend on a strange interaction between the PDF and your web pages.

  • Problem with linking PDF documents using named destinations

    Linking from one PDF document to another PDF document using named destinations viewed in Reader works great but once the documents are viewed inside a browser environment the link will only open the go to document and will not go to the named destination.
    If I make the links using the page number - yes they will work perfectly in the browser. But my problem is that the documents may change in the future and the links may be on differnt pages, so I need to use named destinations to bring me to the page of the PDF they are on.
    Any suggestions? I need them to work in IE.
    Thanks

    You can link to a named destination with a URL. This might work better in
    your case... To do it use the following format:
    http://example.org/doc.pdf#nameddest=Chapter6

  • Problem viewing secure PDF documents in Apple Preview

    I have recently written an ebook that I would like to sell online. The original document was created using Pages and saved as a standard PDF. So far so good.
    As a way of trying to protect the book, I would like to have it password protected, which of course I can do in Preview, however, to use a stamping feature on the server that would print the buyer's name and email on the downloaded book, I am told that I need to save the PDF as Acrobat 5 or later.
    The problem I am finding is that if I save a PDF in Acrobat using any kind of security it fails to view properly inside Preview. The page contents are reduced to miniscule items that are totally unusable, but those same files open perfectly inside Acrobat.
    So far the only way I can get password protected PDF files to open properly in Preview is if they are saved in Preview, however, I have found that these files are not compatible with the PHP stamping feature on the server that would add the buyer's details.
    Does anybody with knowledge of Acrobat and Preview understand what is happening here and how I can resolve this issue?
    Thanks
    Ashley

    Thanks Phillip I tried that but it didn't work. Something really perplexing me though is why documents saved as PDF in Acrobat with a password for opening are completely failing to view properly when opened in Preview. Try creating a simple PDF document in Acrobat with a few pages and all you get is a huge blank space with a small black dot in the middle if you try to open that file in Preview. This was my experience and a friend has just tried as well with exactly the same result.
    I have an ebook here that was password protected for opening and according to the properties it was saved as Acrobat 6, however this does open properly inside Preview and her one works properly. I've been through the settings though numerous times and I am truly baffled why it's proving such a problem. The book I have written is about photography and just about every photographer I know uses a Mac, so I cannot simply ignore this question.

  • Display PDF document from Servlets to browser

    Hi All,
    I am displaying a PDF document in Servlet after reading the stream. PDF size is of more than 3MB, so it takes a lot of time to get downloaded and to display on the browser.
    Is there anyway to display the initial pages to the browser (whatever data has been sent ). Can you please help me in this.
    Please treat it as urgent
    Thanks in advance,
    Purav

    I have to ask:
    Why are you trying to pump a PDF to the client? Is it stored in a database rather than to the file system? Or...are you trying to display a PDF file in HTML format so end users don't need Acrobat?
    If neither of these is the case, couldn't you just send a response.redirect("path to PDF file") and get the same result without all the headache?
    If case 1 (the PDF is stored in the database and not the filesystem), you may want to ask why? You could simply create a table that maps some document_id to a local file path. That way if you need to delete it or change it, you know what and where it is.
    If case 2 (you want to read a PDF and display as HTML to the client) you should use a parser like:

  • Problem in displaying GOS documents in Web Dynpro

    Hi,
    Requirement is to display attached documents of business objects (PR, PO) in Web Dynpro.
    I am able to do this successfully but there is an issue with Office 2007 documents. Office 2007 documents are getting corrupted.
    I am using following logic for reading the attached documents:
    1. Called cl_binary_relation=>read_links method to get the document list.
    2. Called SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1 to get the content and details of documents.
    3. Called SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING to convert document content to XString.
    4. Called SDOK_MIMETYPE_GET to get mime type for document so that I can bind it with FileDownload UI element.
    After doing the analysis, I found that SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1 is not returning correct file content and extension type for Office 2007 documents. Instead of '.docx' it is returning '.doc' and also the document content is not proper as I check by hard coding the mine type for .docx.
    Please let me know, is there any other FM for reading document content or am I missing something?
    Regards,
    Vikram Rawal

    Hi,
    I had the same problem...
    Maintain the office 2007 extension from maintenance view V_TOADD (SM30)
    for example
    xlsx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
    docx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
    then associate these extensions to your archive object maintenance view TOAVE.

  • Problem printing scanned PDF document from iPad to HP Photosmart Plus B209a

    Hi,
    I'd like to report a problem printing a scanned PDF document from iPad via HP ePrint application to my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer. The document was sent to the printer without any issue. However, the printer only prints out the
     screenshot image in the center of the PDF page, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit in an A4 paper. The rest of the document is simply ignored by the printer. The document with the problem can be downloaded in the link below:
    Download PDF document with the problem
    What could be wrong? Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I received the document from my teacher, so I don't know what program she used to scan it.
    I tried to print the document directly from my PC which works fine though, so I guess the document is OK.
    My HP printer is an old model which doesn't support eprint or air print, so I used the eprint application on iOS to print the document. I tried both color and black/white which gave me the same result: only the center screenshot image is printed out, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit an A4 paper, the rest of the document is just ignored.
    What do you mean by saving it as a document?
